Brandon took a deep breath as he exited his lab, walking along the corridor he looked outside at the tumbling rocks of the cloud that surrounded Planet Moros. The Research Vessel Interstellar had been slowly orbiting the planet for the past three weeks, in a vain attempt to prove his theory correct. The ship-wide PA system leaped to life, “Dr.Wright, please report to the bridge. Dr. Wright, please report to the bridge.” As it crackled off Brandon proceeded down the hallway towards the bow of the vessel. Climbing up a flight of stairs he passed a bulkhead and entered the bridge. A crew of five was on duty, the Commander Nate Mason approached Brandon and shook hands with him while smiling warmly. “Dr. Wright, your daily report.” Commander Mason handed Brandon a tablet with the days sensor logs before continuing, “No nomad activity I’m afraid, we will be returning to Corinth for resupply at the start of the next shift.”
Brandon set the tablet down and put his hands in his pocket, “They aren't going to be happy, perhaps our studies on the local asteroid belt will prove more fruitful" grasping the Commanders hand again, "I'll let the others know at the staff meeting."
As he left the bridge and made his way towards the center of the ship he pondered if the research was going to be worth it, only time would tell.
