A connection was secured. "Mr. Sloan, it is good to speak with you again."
"And you too, Doc," Sloan answered. He gave a nod of acknowledgement to Ashlea.
He went on to update progress. Full station power had been restored with only a few small wiring projects left to do. While some of the exterior structure would be in continued repair, internally everything was sound.
The medical and research areas were complete and functional. "We've had most of the station shut down so as not to attract attention. We're staying where we work. Right now, the crews are sleeping as they put in some serious overtime."
"This is good news," answered Doc, "Um...you couldn't by chance build up a holodec could you?"
Sloan grinned, "I can but it will take me awhile."
Doc smirked and looked to Ashley as he answered, "Make it so, Mr. Sloan, make it so."
"We have been getting some com chatter of late," Sloan explained, "I'm not sure what to make of it as the only traffic out here are Junkers and their associates but I keep hearing of a Moka looking for medical help as if in the form of hearsay."
Doc just nodded, "Not sure where from I take it?"
"No, Sir, it was all over local chat waves for awhile, probably from passing patrols but it's been quiet in the last few hours," he explained.
"All said, you can head back whenever you like. Your quarters are finished as are hers," he stated, "when you do, I could use some multiplexers and plating although I'm in no rush for them."
"Will do. I can get those locally. Mr. Sloan, I need to scoot. I'll call again soon."
The channel was cut and Doc scratched his chin, "Moka...intersting." He then shrugged, "But it was chatter so I'm not sure what to think."
He then smiled to his love, "So where were we before all of this commotion?"
