The runabout had been in orbit of the planet's axis for over three hours now, and repairs were still being completed. Kelly, had to realign the ships warp core. Due to the high warp that was reached it had thrown the warp core out of alignment.
"Sir the computer is done figuring where we are sir." Ethan said coming back from the cockpit.
Vince looked down from the crawl space that served as a work space for the runabout's warp core. "Thanks Cadet, here finish up." Vince dropped down and wiped his hands off on a rag. He walked into the cock pit, and took his seat.
"Alright computer where are we?"
<According to nearest star, charted by the USS Voyager in 2377, the Delta Quadrant.> The computer said with the usual cold response.
This was very shocking, and hard for Vince to swallow. According to star charts the Delta quadrant was 15000 light years from the station.
"Computer what caused the Runabout to go to warp sixteen?"
<The nebula, contain techron particles and deuterium deposits, and when the buzzard collectors collected enough material, a plasma charge struck the port nacelle. Causing the runabout to enter warp factor 26.5>
Vince then got up, and walked over to the replicator, and ordered some coffee, and then took a seat again. He thought how did the ship survive such a high warp.
"Computer where does the nebula start here?"
<Approximately .3 light years from where the runabout was stopped.>
"How big is the nebula?"
<The J-class nebula is 13,000 light years long, and 250 meters wide.>
"Could this ship handle another trip through the nebula?"
<An 89% chance of survive ability.>
Vince leaned back in his chair, and sipped his coffee thinking about many things. His mind was racing a million miles an hour. Part of him wanted to stay when the runabout is ready to travel. Then he remembered that the Captain need this valuable information.
The more time went by the pieces went together, the Delta quadrant, and then the tactical logs from Voyager. More then anything he wanted to know who or what the threat was out here.
"Alright Cadet lets get back to the Alpha quadrant." Vince said running his fingers over the helm.
"Sir?" Razek said in confusion.
