not be very
busy,” retorted James.
“ Maybe she can cook. We’ve
got a brand new guy for secretary, Danny Wang. He’s only
twenty-three, and it’s his first mission,” Kenny commented. Kenny
always appreciated having a good cook, which fell under the
secretary’s duties.
Steve, who was having a
hard time getting past his navigator woes, hardly noticed when
James mentioned Tammy’s name; but the brain cells that held this
audible message in memory successfully brought it to
consciousness. Tammy Rogers, that’s the
pretty girl I've been noticing around here! he thought to himself, and he felt excited again; allowing
his concerns about the navigator, temporarily, to leave
him.
For the next forty-five minutes they
continued to pore over their mission notes, and discuss the
details. James’ spirits were lifted as they joked and commented
together. A feeling of camaraderie was there, and a general sense
that this crew would work well together seemed to be felt by
all.
“ Well, it's about 6:30, so
I think I will go introduce myself to the rest of the crew and give
them their papers,” Steve said, getting up.
“ You’d better go see Bob
and Danny first,” said Kenny. “Civilians don’t have to be up so
early, and a young lady might not appreciate the first interview
with her Captain if it’s before she’s made herself up for the
day.”
“ Alright, well, we’ll see
you all at 4:00 for our crew meeting.”
“ Sounds good Captain” and
“See you later” rang the chorus.

“ Aren’t you the lucky one?
Captain comes by first thing in the morning to let you know you’re
in his crew. And wow, is he cute! All I get is some papers in the
slot saying be here at such-and-such time,” exclaimed Mary, Tammy’s
roommate.
“ I saw him in the corridor
yesterday, and it looked like he was checking me out,” Tammy
returned.
“ This is getting good; do
you think our young Captain pulled some strings to get you on his
crew?”
“ I hope not, look where
we’re going. It’s uncharted and unanalyzed. We’re basically heading
out into the middle of nowhere. What are the chances that we’ll run
into some little green men out there?”
“ Who cares about little
green men when you’re out there with a man like that?”
“ He is cute, isn’t he? I
guess that’s the consolation for being sent on an analyzing mission
instead of an exploring mission. I just feel that my extraordinary
talents are being wasted,” Tammy quipped and both women started
giggling.
“ It’s so weird, we get all
of this elaborate training, get all of this expensive equipment,
and go on an amazing adventure to the far reaches of the universe;
they spend all of this money, and for all we know it may all just
be rocks, and burning gas except on little ol’ planet earth," Mary
said, feeling enlightened and philosophical. “And where are you,
Ms. Rogers? Here we are on stardust 20, but your eyes are even
farther away.”
Tammy’s beautiful sapphire
eyes were focused
a million miles away, outside the window. She stayed there, silent
and wondering for a moment; then the gleam came back into her eyes
and a smile transformed her countenance. She looked over at Mary,
and then back away with the dreamy look again. “I really want there
to be something out there. And I want to find it. I’ve always had
this—I don’t know—dream, or hope, that I would be the first to
discover something. You know, me in the lab, and here’s something
new—completely new. And no one in the world knows it at all, but
me. And for those few seconds, or minutes, or hours, I have it
alone. To know something that no one else knows. Can’t you imagine
that feeling, that realization? Some life form, with
characteristics, different, and unimagined; and me there—unraveling
the mysteries of existence.” She turned to Mary with a big smile,
looking directly in her eyes, and then widening her own as if to
say, “Cool,
busy,” retorted James.
