Investing in the future [Open to Kruger|]

[Lutz.Torwald]

Another group of small freighter's was leaving Wuppertal to survey the nearby asteroid field. Axel stood at one of the bar window's watching the ship's disappearing in the darkness of space. He sighed then turned to make his way out of the bar.
Just a few days since the first positive scan had passed but things were geting into motion now. Kruger Vorstand had set a meeting on Wuppertal to decide about the future of the project. And just a day before it, Hans Nauman, had called in sick. He was in charge of the survey operation in Koeln and now he dropped all his work on Axel. Not enough yet, Axel also only had a few hours to work through countless reports from the survey ship's and mining vessel's in Koeln to prepare them for the Vorstand.
He sighed again as he walked down the hallway towards the meeting room. He was focused on a new report from the Oppurg as John walked up to him from behind.
"Lot of work to do eh?"
"Seems so. How is the survey going?"
"Pretty slow. Hessian and LWB ship's just made us withdraw from the current sector. Without further escort ship's we can't complete the mission in time."
"Another thing to worry about then. I will make a call to the RFP base and ask them if they could provide us with a fighter wing."
"You should get some sleep now."
"I've been trying since yesterday morning. But every time I get into a sleepy state, another problem comes straight at my desk."
"Close your desk for a while then. You're not looking good today Axel."
"I wish it would be that easy. Really I know im not in shape anymore. Well maybe in a hour or two. Now I need to prepare the meeting room."

With that Axel walked on.
