Something, or rather someone, tore Daniel away from his thoughts for the second time today, and it was also a pilot to boot. What was it with these people? Given her glare, attitude and the way she spoke, working with her was going to be a treat. [i]“Our stations? If there is one, I’d be happy to know where mine is. As far as I know, my station is a bunk until we reach the laboratory, but since nobody delivered the promised briefing, What do I know?”[/i] he thought.

In the time he spent sitting there, wondering about the colony and what awaited them, the lobby was filling up. [i]“We lose contact with a colony and they send a large group of questionable individuals instead of four guys to fix their busted communications array or something. This is going to be a bloody circus.”[/i] he thought chuckling at the thought of this group reaching the laboratory, only to be faced with a trivial problem. The arrival of the team’s ranking officer improved his mood a bit, as it meant someone who most likely knew more than him about the situation was at hand at last.
