Exploring Neptune's Uncharted Worlds
·
Published 5/12/2023With a culturally-diverse crew, led by the brave and daring Captain Theodore, the United Federation embarks on a suspenseful voyage of exploration to Neptune, where they must use their tenacity and wit to confront alien life and grapple with newfound challenges from a mysterious alien landscape - all while striving to complete the mission and reap its exciting rewards.
*“You are sure?”*
* “Yes, Sir. We are so close to Neptune’s surface that we will be entering its atmosphere without even accelerating.”
* “Very well, Mr Huxley. Can you confirm our speed?” *
* “We have decelerated to a relative velocity of .0072c, Sir. It’s the highest that can be achieved by our current fuel situation. I am also reporting a slight course deviation from our planned trajectory due to uncertainty in our initial measurements. We won’t be able to correct for that for another 13 hours and 8 minutes.” *
* “Mr Peters, do you have a new trajectory ready?”*
* “Yes, Sir. The calculations are ready now and confirmed by Mr Huxley. In accordance with your wishes, I have set the new course to take us out at the same angle as the original one. The only difference is that the new trajectory will bring us to the surface just above the North Pole instead of just south-east of the equator, Sir.” *
* “Well done, Mr Peters! Let us hope that Mr Huxley was right about Neptune having an atmosphere after all! What is our estimated time of arrival at Neptune’s surface? *
* “Approximately 13 minutes 23 seconds from now, Captain. Our speed has dropped by .000032c since we entered Neptune’s gravitational field and we are facing a constant deceleration of 10g. Right now we are falling towards Neptune at approximately 3 kilometers per second. There is no need for any further action until we reach the surface, Sir! *
* “Well then, I guess we should all get ready for a rough ride! Stay seated and strap yourselves in! You too, Mr Huxley! Make sure you don’t go diving off your table again! *
* “I have retracted my legs and locked myself down properly this time, Captain! Do not worry about me!*
