“We’ve got
to get that thing dug out.” Sam stated.
“And we need
that ice too.” Kim noted “Ok Sam, get the plans to harvest that ice and dig
that thing out transmitted to the miners.
Make sure they know to stay away from any of those contact points. I’ll bet our poor surveyor just got across a
couple of power connections.”
“Will
do. I’ll get the schedule sent out.” Sam
started frantically working at her console.
“Tim, make
sure you have the survey data updated constantly and make sure that all of the
crews have everything we have.” Kim was studying the hologram.
“Everything?”
he verified.
“Everything. We need them to be as safe as possible.” She
floated across the compartment for a different view “And shut off that second
image, we need to focus on the current target.”
“KIM!”
captain Calhoun’s voice resonated through the compartment “Transport 3 is docking
now. Meet me in sick bay!” He softened
his voice “And make sure that our lab crew gets their rest cycle once the
mining crews are launched.”
The
commander responded “Yes, sir. On my way.” She looked to Sam “Ok, get the crews
launched and then you get your rest time.” She looked to Tim “Anything else you
need?”
“A bottle of
wine would be nice.” He joked.
The
commander reached into a pouch on her jumpsuit and retrieved a metallic
container “Try not to make a mess of the place.” She smiled, flicked the
container to Tim and floated to the door.
“I’ll check in before I go back on duty.
Make sure you get enough rest, we’re going to be really busy really
soon.” She left and closed the door behind her.
