The Orion Defender had now entered into the dark nebula, and its crew were talking about the search that lay before them.
“Right everyone, Data has worked out a search plan for us, thank you Data.” Caroline said to the others on the bridge. We will search the nebula one section at a time starting with this sector. If you look on our view screen you can see our plan of campaign.”
Ray Connors looked at the details up on the view screen. When everyone had had time to digest the information he spoke to them about their future course of action.
“That looks fine, Caroline and I can take turns to pilot the ship while one of you others will need to keep an eye open for our pursuers, as the sensors will not work in here. Someone else must keep an eye open for a likely ringed gas giant of a planet, around which we hope to find the dark domain moon. That means that Argo and Caroline can sleep for the next four hours, while as usual Craig and I do all the work. Data, as you don`t need to rest you can be the one to look out for the planet. Jean if you can organise things in engineering.” Ray Connors said.
Caroline and Argo were both exhausted so they didn`t argue, they just hurried the children to the limited amount of sleeping quarters to be found on the cramped starship, and then they tried to get some sleep. Caroline thought that she would find it impossible to sleep so she just closed her eyes and pretended that Tyler was asleep next to her, moments later she too was asleep.
