Roy looked at the scanner showing the transport heading away from the Equinox.
-Sir, we've got an incoming transmission from the Shasta Orbital Skyhook. It's professor Dawson!
-Put him on the main screen immediately!- The professor's face appears. There are a few scars on his face, but otherwise he seemed rather good.- Professor! It's good to see you again!
-Ah, captain! I was trying to contact you for days! We are already moving towards Cambridge with the new ship. It's a decent vessel, let's say only this. Okay. I couldn't even think that it is possible to have such a great ship with these equipments all around! I wasn't able to visit every labour yet, my leg still hursts because of the accident.
-Professor, I think we have almost finished here, we need only two or three days, till the AI drone is functional again. So I suggest meeting somewhere on route. How about the Cortez system in 4 days?
-Yes, that's a good idea, indeed. Planet Curacao is a very nice place. You and your crew deserves a few days off. -The old man turns away- Miss, could you close the communication channel? -The head dissapears.
-Okay, send a remote controlled drone, to take the AI up. Also, prepare three groups to enter the facility. Use the speacial clothes to be able to withstand the conditions. Take weapons too. I'll be leading one of the groups. We go down when the drone arrived back. Let's do this!
Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought.
