Han-Pan-Chan Emergency

The Han-Pan-Chan had its first emergency scramble today. Operational readiness has been carefully maintained after the successful aquisition process. Circle State's system niche has been secured and legitimacy status has been aquired, enabling the HPC to operate on such missions as mentioned below with minimal interference from Circle State's executive arm, The Kaikan.

At 08hoo, magpie alerted ubermarklar to the fact that a logistical discrepancy was arising in the fulfilment of contractual obligations to UNICOM. ubermarklar Was forced to abort a subspace sortie, an Escherian strange loop twist, for this priority mission. The transition to Yamana was difficult given the fact that ubermarklar had not performed the transition under priority imperatives for a significant elapsed time. The HPC was successfully scrambled, with the unusual feature of magpie reaching operational readiness status before ubermarklar.

Once on Circle State's network, the Han-Pan-Chan performed admirably, with ubermarklar having the difficult task of optimizing performance while simultaneously reassuring magpie of the missions viability based on a hastily extrapolated temporal status report. Spatial calibration was challenging given the speed required to recalibrate from subspace. For this mission to succeed, the HPC faced the imperative of intercepting a scheduled linear transport module, critical to the optimal fulfilment of UNICOM stipulations. The expression of magpie's doubt about the mission's viability was necessarily ignored for the sake of optimizing the HPC's performance and the minimization of danger to both the mission and other users of the Circle State's network. Fortunately, congruence was achieved with the Circle State's macro-transistors and unnecessary delays were averted.

magpie Was the first to establish visuals with the linear transport module as it approached the network interchange from within the closest subterranean thoroughfare facility. This alleviated her doubts about the mission's viability and she pinned her hopes on ubermarklar's capacity to complete the mission within the temporal limits she had extrapolated based on this new data. This was achieved with only one glitch, the failure to signal the final manouevre, a stipulation of Circle State's network administrators. Fortunately for the mission, no administrators or their info vectors were present at this juncture and the incident went unreported. The HPC was brought to a controlled halt at the closest possible point in the network interchange and magpie successfully intercepted the module.

Relieved that the mission had been successful, but still not completely recalibrated from subspace operations, ubermarklar directed the HPC to the closest resupply station. Only upon reaching full calibration did he realise that, because of the scramble and the speed of the mission, he was in fact too early for the commencement of Circle State's major operations for the day. It was thus necessary to resupply at the nearest combine node, the Lawson Station. Ubiquitous in the Circle State, the Lawson Station's holographic nature is both a blessing and a curse. Resupply using this facility is almost guaranteed, given the required exchange currency, yet the light required for such panpresent holography is painful to navigate, especially for ubermarklar, who does not possess the genetic optical calibration gifted by the Circle State's lineage to most of its constituents. Despite this difficulty, and the repeated need to decline Lawson Station's offers of spare components (spare components being one of the foundations of the Circle State, yet incongruent with the logic structure of ubermarklar), resupply was successful. The HPC was navigated back to Yamana without incident, the Neko was refuelled, its byproduct disposed of, and the thermo-activated filter device engaged to consolidate the Yamana calibration.

As of this entry, temporalinear obligations to UNICOM are being fulfilled. Deoptimisation has been averted by the scramble mission. Character is Destiny.
