Deep Space Operations had never been popular among the military personel, since the only enemies to fight were the constant boredom and the occasional overgrown fauna on certain fringeworlds. In the meanwhile, during the dreary eight-hour shifts, there was little to do but count to 28.800. Today, the duty roster held few surprises. ,,Muh’tabi and Jones. Security detail on deck 1. Avery is currently undergoing a check-up at Medical and Aldera, you’re the standby pilot for Cicero-1’’, said the sergeant.
,,Consider yourself lucky. Should the Arioch be boarded by ‘little green men’, you can be the first to jump ship’’, joked Corporal Muh’tabi. You realise that you probably did get lucky, since the alternative, being on security detail, meant keeping quiet and spending the day looking for new spots on the wall to stare at. Although sign language did allow for some small-talk. Shuttle detail was generally considered to be a ‘fun’ job, since one could spend the day monitoring the internal comm-traffic.
