Recruiting for a mission
Who: Jack Rockfield, Captain Jay and Holly.
Where: Captain's Office and Jack's room.
Between his room and the Captain's office Jack heard all sort of recent
happenings here at the Blue Dwarf. From people being shrink to miniature size
and grew back again, Holly becoming crazy and being repaired with a toaster to
vending machines giving free drinks on floor 7. He was wondering if all this
really happened and what would be next.
At the Captain's office, Jack knocked three times on the door before entering
after hearing the typical words "Come in!"
-"Greetings Captain, my name is Jack Rockfield, I was sent by JMC as a geologist
for the Blue Dwarf. I am here to report for duty Sir.
- Oh yeah, Rockfield
I've just read your file, welcome
Welcome aboard, the
name is Jay Chrysler and I am the Captain of this ship. Sorry I just got out
from some crazy adventure I need to put my thoughts together
" He said while
pouring some coffee in a cup and turning to the window.
- "You know, we don't do mining on the Blue Dwarf
" Said the Captain while
looking outside at the deep space.
- But Sir, this is a mining ship isn't it? Replied Jack with a surprised look on
his face.
- Yes it is, but don't get me wrong I'm not saying that we don't want to do
some, it's just that a lot happened and we didn't had time to really focus on
mining you know? Then he started to tell him everything that happen on the Blue
Dwarf (at least the main events).
- But may I suggest something Sir. Don't you think it's strange that JMC send a
geologist to a ship that doesn't send any mining report to them for so many
years? If I may say Sir, I thing they may be planning on doing an assessment on
this ship and if they found that this ship is not doing at least what he's meant
to be, they may shut it down
"
Jack got the Captain's full attention this time. He turned to him, leaving his
thoughts outside in the deep space, and started to think. Then he said:
"Yes you're probably right, you know what, take this I'll contact you as soon as
possible." Then he gave a Holowatch to Jack and directed him to the exit.
Jack returned to his room and waited. He didn't had to wait too long to receive
a message from his holowatch:
" Rockfiel? Rockfield, can you read me? - It was Captain Jay - I have a mission
for you, we will shortly pass by a little planet, so I need you to get a crew of
at least 3 Blue Dwarf members to go with you on that planet. Your mission will
be to explore the planet and see if it has anything we can get for mining. Over
and out."
Well that was quick... Jack though. And how can I get at least 3 crew crazy
enough to come with me on a planet we don't know anything about??? I don't even
know anyone on this ship!
"Just put a post on the Parrotts bar's board, dude! - Said Holly from his screen
That's what I do to get the girls...
- Holly, you were there the all time! Do you think it will work? Replied Jack.
- Well, it doesn't for me with the girls, but for you it's completely different
so just try it! I can put it on for you if you want.
- Hmm... Ok, why not. We'll see who will join then.
- Don't worry I'll manage something catchy..."
So Holly put this post on the Parrotts Bar's board:
" To who might be interested in something different for the next days:
We are looking for a crew to explore a little planet we will pass by. Danger,
adventure and free lunches awaits... all booze included for free in the journey
of course.
PS: Girls I am still waiting for your answers for my previous posts...
Holly"
