[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE] But Mandel still put the Mutara Nebula near the real Alpha Ceti, instead of using a fictional "Mu Ceti A" or somesuch next to SB12. An unfortunate communications failure, and a good lesson on the need for beta-checks... [/QUOTE]Ah, we have a star charts expert! Good, you can tell us where he put Theta 116. [QUOTE] The Charybdis' original mission didn't seem all that ambitious - a few hundred AUs out, hang around, test some life support stuff and Air Force secret weapons, get back. 12 times solar escape velocity seems a bit excessive for an intended performance. I'd say the engine was redlining badly, and would just have destroyed the vessel before actual interstellar ranges could have been achieved. [/QUOTE]Well if it was the third manned attempt to escape the solar system you can forgive NASA for being a little cautious after two sucessive failures...you have to give them credit though, even after three failures they still sent out the Jacob, doesn't sound like the NASA we know. Perhaps this is a result of the USAF involvement? They must have really wanted to test that gizmo. Perhaps that Gizmo was a Botany Bay detector ;) [QUOTE] The aliens would probably have interfered as a life-saving measure. [/QUOTE]I'm pretty sure that it was said that the alien intervention is what unintentionally killed all but one of the crew, which is why they felt guilty and made a little home for him. The alien(s) must have been very alien indeed, not your run-of-the-mill latex forehead jobs if they managed to somehow snag a primitive space vessel and drag it across space, far enough that they don't know which system they picked it up in. Possibly something similar to the Caretaker's race, Nagilum, the Excalibans or the wormhole aliens? It'd have to be a race advanced enough to manipulate the fabric of space to cause that funky business with the revolving doors, have the ability to create the hotel and the human players. Not to mention the ability to read an alien language and interpret abstract descriptions into a detailed and solid construction. [/QB][/QUOTE]
