Time Heals All Wounds.....

[ASCI Nelson Stron 0]

They had finally gotten back on schedule thanks to Nelson, his mother, and his sisters, all acting like drill sargents to the shipyard’s work force. He was glad he wasn’t the actual station commander, which was his mother’s responsibility. He was enough in charge though, to get some things done, as he liked to think to himself sometimes. No word had come from Aegis in a few; he could only hope things were going well there. It was then he decided to try and get a hold of his department leader it had been a while since he had seen him. Nelson walked over to his computer and recorded a message for delivery to Aegis.

“Hello Sir,” he paused and then smiled, “ I mean zog. I do hope I haven’t missed too much action in the Science Department. Also, I heard about the attack you guys got….how bad was it?” Nelson paused forming his thoughts. “ I finally got a date on when my replacement sub commander here at New Amsterdam is coming. Its about six months from now I’ll be coming back….possibly sooner, I hope.” Nelson looked down for a moment, coughed and continued. “ I miss you guys, tell the guys, and gals back there I miss them.” He frowned, “ Not like I don’t enjoy it here at the New Amsterdam, I gotten a lot of time to be with family, my Dad……” He coughed again. “My Dad died just after I got here….so I was able to see him before his death, that….that was good. Hey, I even found out I can still hover board, It been Along time since I did that. It took me a bit but I’d like to think I’d do well in competition. Goodbye, I hope we get to talk again soon…” Nelson leaned forward and stopped the recording. He sighed, and hit the send button on the console. Nelson thought to himself, those lucky ducks, at least their doing something, while getting attacked isn’t very good, its certainly something to keep yourself occupied……
