It was Tuesday, maybe Wednesday, Kai didn’t remember exactly what day it was, but what he remembered of that day was a Journey he had planned since he joined the Atlantis’ crew and after discovering a hidden planet of the Aedis system, which was until then undiscovered by Starfleet Exploration Groups.The planet (a class M one) was nicknamed funnily Cheese Ball III, because it was the third planet of the system they were in and because its yellow color with huge craters made it seem like a cheese ball flying in space.
“Do you think there are living stuff there?” Asked one of his comrades when Kai made the discovery “maybe, maybe not. But something is certain, we cannot get transported to it.”
Indeed a magnetic field of some kind blocked or disturbed communication to be able to use the transporter. The only solution was the shuttle.And indeed he, after many days of prays and ridiculous favor made to the captain (no offense to her), managed to organize what was an expedition to explore and take some samples of whatever they could find on that planet.
The shuttle, the “Coriolis” was being prepared by the Ensign, who was excited to wait someone to show up and begin the adventure on Cheese Ball III (Aedis III, for science accuracy) while his new pet, Rylee (a Golden Retriever), was jumping everywhere in the hangar bay, not knowing what to do.
Chris looked over at Lexi with a smirk. He knew in normal situations she would be loving to come on this trip, eager to do some real biology work and not be stuck in a lab but get your hands stuck in dirt and mud and find some new life. The thing is for the young married couple, they had a daughter who was barely 8 months old. Any parent could tell you getting a chance away for a night or two is a dream come true. Get them into the 24-hour period and you suddenly had parents foaming at the mouth worried about diseases that only exist in their mind.
“She is going to be fine pumpkin, Ian said EMMA works with the kids and teaches them all the time. She can surely handle a barley walking little girl. She can download all the parenting advice in the world and in the end, Jacen said he would look in, a real father… so… don’t worry baby.” Chris said as he placed his hand on top of hers as he gently rubbed the top of her hand. To some, this might have seen as a loving gesture, though for Chris he knew if she couldn’t move her hand she couldn’t try to use her communicator again to get ahold of EMMA for the seventh time in three hours.
