Koeln System, Sector 5G


Suddenly the silence aboard the Oppurg was interrupted by a monotonous machine sound.
*Beep Beep*
Axel slammed his fist on the button next to the speaker and returned to stare out of the window.
"Scanner data analyzed, no ore deposit's found"
"Just great. I guess we can do this all day without finding anything in here."
He started up the scanner for another run. The 5th one in 4 hour's. Once everything was set he started the automated process again, then leaned back and placed his feet in the co pilot chair.
Staring at a large picture on the cockpit wall, showing a farm on planet Stuttgart with some LWB propaganda painted over it. He mainly had it there to remind him of the beauty of some places in Rheinland, rather than for the LWB propaganda.
"Sometimes live as farmer might be easier. Heck why did I even start to work in here?" he mumbled to himself.
He focused on the hot chocolate in his left hand again and took a sip.
Suddenly John appeared in the door. He made his way to the co pilot seat and Axel quickly took his feet off, as the old man sat down.
"Found anything worth this hassle yet?"
"Sadly not. Anything from the scientific team?"
"Nope. We are out here for some hour's already. We should return to dock now and get some rest."
"And tell them what? You think they will be pleased that the second system we survey has no deposits either? After that fail with omega 9 we should be on the look out."
"Well that is the downside of working in a company then"
the old man began to laugh, though that soon turned into coughing.
"You're alright?"
"Of course Iam! Well I will get back to these scientist's before they make a mess out of my cargo bay."
"You don't like company down there?"
"They can't stop to reallocate and rearrange all our cargo container's and they nearly drive me insane. Always asking me to get them this, or that, as if I were there to service them."
"They are academic's what did you expect. They are not used to how thing's on a mining ship run."
"They better get used to it soon or I will throw them all out of the airlock."
They both laughed and John made his way out of the cockpit, leaving Axel alone again. He resumed to stare at the picture.
"I wonder how working on a farm may ..."
Scanning positive. Ore deposit found. Processing Data.
"Well was about damn time."
Axel quickly turned his seat and got to the comm unit.
"KMS Oppurg to survey team lead. We may found something out here ..."
