I like where you're going with the Mayan Calender idea. granted, getting out to the Miranda could be trouble as far as fuel is concerned. Perhaps if he had a pair of external tanks, then I'd guess it'd be do-able. Just have to see what Fnord thinks.


Well, here's the thing. Sending Midnight out to the Miranda's last known position is certainly feasible, but... what's the point? Midnight can't carry enough for a resupply, she sure as hell doesn't have the space for passengers... it's like sending an F-16 out to rescue the crew of a foundering fishing boat; sure it can get to the scene faster than a chopper or Coast Guard cutter, but all it can *do* is orbit overhead while watching the boat sink.

I suppose if that's your kink you could go with it, but I'm gonna need more convincing on that point before I rubberstamp.
