Reuniting a Man with his Machines

[TheKusari]

The radial scanner begins to ping, each wave from the monitor brings the dot closer to the centre. Eyes look out past the reinforced glass of the Arcturus, seeing Ikarus Station grow in size as the ship approaches. Somewhere in there, Albert thinks, is the rest of equipment he has missed for a few months now. His time has been occupied by the facilities on board the Arcturus, however separation anxiety has slowly grown since his last visit. Another wave passes over the scanner, and a handful of lights turn on next to the communications station. The surrounding asteroids positioned in such a way to give a clean line of sight.

"Let's not disappoint Leon. Remember, we're here for one thing and one thing only. Try to avoid overstaying our welcome."

Two switches are flipped, pointing one of the antennas towards Ikarus. A slight buzz is heard, with a click. A crew member nods, telling Albert that the audio transmission signal is solid.

"This is Albert McKenzie of the Starflier Arcturus, I believe we are expected."

A thump is heard, a small asteroid comes in from the left, obstructing the view of Ikarus Station. Albert's concern about the exterior plating remains non-existent, his attention diverted to Ikarus Station and their reply.
