After helping to prepare the probes for deployment, Judith was relieved for a break. She wanted to refuse, but also knew from her experience as a department head, it was difficult to get people to rest as time allowed. It was far better to have rested, alert officers on duty than to have the opposite. She’d seen too often accidents in the labs because passion for research won over common sense for safety.
Do what’s best and show the others rest when you can.
She arrived back to the labs, a steaming chai latte in hand, rested as much as possible from a short sleep reprieve and shower. She also had a brief interference from CJ, her son. She still hadn’t mastered the skill of blocking thoughts, but she really didn’t want too either. While it caused a bit of headache for her, it was worth hearing from him when he was away. He was her everything, always giving her a smile and improving any sour mood she may be having instantly, including now. She’d been feeling melancholy lately, but hearing from him today lifted her. CJ had been with his father but was glad to hear he was heading back to her parents.
Judith was arriving at the workstation still lifted from CJ’s quick hello. The ship’s lighting began to change to yellow causing Judith to speed up to her station, wondering what was going on. The new chief for science was there, monitoring her console.
Has she had a break?
Judith nodded to the chief as she got situated and logged in. Two faring well… And soon the cause, or presumably the cause of the yellow alert, showed itself. A ship out here? Judith began to look for more information, wondering who and what it was.
“Interesting finding a ship way out here, no?” Judith spoke to the Chief.
