Mission: Moving Day
Location: Sagitarrius system
Timeline: Stardate 77000.2

On

It was the best of times it was the worst of times as the USS Bohr joined the Xfinity for it's final active duty mission.

Captain Sureth looked around the bridge he had spent the bulk of his career on with pride, which was most un-Vulcan and half smiled.

" Status report?" he called

" Sir Xfinity has locked onto the station with all moorings." came the report.

" Engineering lock our moors to the station as well. " Sureth then ordered .

A tug pulled the Bohr as that order was followed shaking the bridge.

The need for two ships was necessary as a static warp bubble would be placed around Starbase Mercury powered by the Bohr. The Xfinity would then add the thrust to bring the station into the system where Savai the planet orbited.

If it worked...

< Sagittarius A >

It had long been known that a black hole was in this system but that fact was now proven as the experiment labeled Operation Moving Day came close to the event horizon.

" Sir Xfinity reports it's engines are being effected by the gravity well. " comms reported.

" Inform Xfinity to maintain max thrust. Engineering transfer energy back to warp drive the mornings will have to be enough to get us out of this well. Engage warp 5 Now...

The image of two vessels pulling a sled was no exaggerated tale as both ship narrowly avoided death from the black hole.

The Triome system had once been home to three stars but one of them had been forced to open up and form the black hole they narrowly avoided.

Captain Sureth had followed through to be prepared for this mission and the one to come. Awaiting permission to keep the Bohr as his flag ship for this new base Captain Sureth gladly accepted his new role as base Commander.

" Sir we are clear if the gravity well." helm reported.

" Damage report?" yelled Sureth

" Structural integrity damage to both vessels but we will be able to maintain warp to get to the Triome system. The warp bubble is holding ironically once we attached it to the stations own power banks. I have my crews ready to to establish orbit once we are in orbit of Savai sir " the engineer reported.

The last leg of the mission was now a go.

" Establish standard orbit . Break all morring and gravitational supports." Sureth then ordered.

" Orbit established....morrings severed. Thrusters firing and Starbase M-69 is now in place Captain. Congratulations sir." helm reported.
