Reuniting a Man with his Machines

[TheKusari]

"Understood. Proceeding to mooring point Charlie."

The crew scrambles to their positions. Preparations are made for the Corvo-Class to setup alignment and dock with the assigned point. Ikarus was marginally bigger than the Arcturus, however the outside had clear signs of an organised research team. Each mooring point was clearly marked, with equal spacing between. With the ship moving into position, Albert takes a moment to think how he'd address Sailas. Their last conversation was rather abrupt, and Albert would rather not clash heads against a fellow researcher. With the docking clamps engaged, and the hissing of the atmospheric pressurizing complete, a small team assembles behind Albert.

"Let's get our equipment and go home."

The team murmurs in agreement. The switch is flipped and button above it pressed. The circular airlock door spins, then each half separates. The other side of the door stands Sailas.

"Hello, Sailas. Been a few months."

Scanning the room, Sectors 3 and 4 were visible from within the airlock. Albert considers the possibility that Sector 2 may be on the opposite end of the docking bay.
