The first officer nodded his agreement as the crew started to run a track on my ship.
We were In thought gaining on Dylan Hunt’s ship, when he seemed to vanish. “Are you detecting any type of stealth technology?” I asked Rommie.
“None that I am detecting Captain Thomas,” Rommie said.
I sat thinking about it a moment, “back track the last line of travel of the Andromeda. See if they reversed along their previous track to disguise their trail,” I said.
“Now working, as of yet I am… I have it sir. Now adjusting course, they aren’t more than a few hours ahead of us,” Rommie advised.
“Good, let me know when we have them in sight. I’m afraid I am going to have to do something unconventional. For now, follow them while I get this ready,” I told Rommie.
Rommie nodded to me, though she had a look of concern on her face. I worked for the next few days getting what I wanted here I wanted. Of course, Rommie had to remind me to eat as I lost myself in the work.
I was also keeping an eye on the energy unbalance, even though they were with me, my universe still had adverse effects. I had hoped that with them out the energy would diminish no such luck.
A moment later Rommie interrupted my thoughts, “Captain Thomas, Trans-warp is now at seventy-five percent. Might I suggest we go to it as it doesn’t leaver as detectable an energy signature as the others do.”
“I was thinking of that though with less than a hundred percent, it might not be wise. I am always afraid that not being at full might damage the drive,” I told her.
“Yes sir, taking all that into consideration. I do suggest though, that we do as soon as possible. I am detecting communication of the Magog and the Nietzchean Unity. It appears that the Magog wish to take my technology. The Nietzchean Unity, are worried it seems that, we will turn upon them,” Rommie advised me.
I nodded as I looked back at Rommie, “I kind of figured that. It’s the main reason, I am trying to get the hell out of this universe, as fast as possible.”
Rommie nodded her agreement as I turned back to what I had been working on. I started to redouble my efferts, then stopped. Why in the hell was I doing this the hard way? I started at the computer input, thought of what I needed then smiled. It was just as I wanted it.
I turned back to the back of the ship thinking hard a moment.
Rommie appeared a moment later, “I am happy to report trans-warp is at a hundred percent. Sheild power has increased another twenty percent, engine output increased another fifty percent,” Rommie said.
“Good, weapons should have increased another thirty percent also,” I told Rommie.
“Yes Captain, I am also detecting that your mental output has jumped again. Though without a proper scan, I cannot state how much,” Rommie said.
“Yes,” I said looking up, “I have noticed that if I use it or overuse it, it grows quite a bit.”
“I’m not sure if I would say that sir, but yes I have noticed that it is now more than twice what it was
