Tru sat at the helm of the Trojan Horse, quite bored. He hadn't
brought any games with him onto the bridge. While he hadn't actually
promised the Captain that he wouldn't, in a way he felt like he kind of had.
Therefore, no games.
Instead, Tru decided to start plotting routes out of the sector. He
choose different possible locations that the Chekov might appear, and then,
based on those locations, plotted the best way to get within the desired
distance without looking suspicious. For some locations, the course was
very simple in deed. For others, it wasn't so simple. He had to go
searching through the database for some old Orion Trading routes. Tru also
looked at planets that had just recently gained items of value. He added
these into the possible locations the TH could travel. Still, there were
too many dead locations for Tru's comfort. There were at least 5 possible
locations that the Chekov could show up that the TH would have no logical
reason to head near. Of course, there were doubtlessly other locations that
wouldn't work either that Tru just hadn't thought of yet. He hoped that the
Chekov wouldn't choose those locations.
When Tru was done, he had a nice map of all possible routes that the TH
could take without arousing any suspicions. Since he still had nothing else
to do, he decided to color code the map so that it was easier to read. The
routes that were very well traveled, Tru colored green. The routes that
were less common, but still well known, he colored blue. The routes that
were not well known he colored orange. Finally, the routes that Tru had
added to the map he colored red.
Looking at the map this way, Tru noticed a huge gaping hole that the
Chekov could lay in wait that had no route near. Of course, there really
was nothing out in that region. So, either the Chekov would find it an
ideal hiding place, or, they would have no reason to travel there either.
Tru liked the later reason, but somehow suspected with his luck, the former
would be more accurate.
