I watched the operation on my terminal as I tried my best to remain calm. After each water pod carrying James and his people docked on the Lancer and I was given the sign that all of them were safe, I felt relieved. With such large containers without life supporting equipment and personal supplies in them, there wasn’t need of many water pods to get James and his people on board. Once the pods were emptied, the cleaning program took over and sanitized every square inch of the container. Once that was completed, it started filling up with the Black. It was going to take several minutes to fill just one, but there wasn’t a faster and quieter way to let the captain show his regret of how he has behaved.

But, I can delay our launch so you can bring my 20 Yellow 5 Red and 5 Black down here and move ten pods to other slots to use the openings to fill empty pods.” “I knew you were trouble the first day I saw you walk into my office boy,” he chuckled repeating his earlier statement. “Oh, that’s right, it was today.” “Hold on Blake,” I smiled and concentrated on what was being said, hurriedly over my ear communicator device. “Alright, yes they can live with him as well, he has ten rooms. I believe he will be very happy. Just hurry and go see Doctor Bishop for your papers and come down here. Also tell Doctor Bishop to call Doctor Tanner to have both of our liquor reserves expanded for additional colors and each tank enlarged. I would also like my Strike Team Commander Spenser Arson’s quarters expanded with…” “Have her tell Tanner to get the space and I’ll upgrade it along with Strike Team Commander Arson’s and Doctor Bishop’s quarters,” said
