Anastasia tapped into the communications systems. Looking for a sound she tuned in. Nothing at first. Then slowly, a buzz came in.
..ond. Again. Respond. This is the Eden Space Station Defense System. We will give you one more chance to respond with your ship name and what your status is right now before we blow you out of orbit.Anastasia quickly turned around to the rest of the crew. and spoke to them. “Hush you all. I need complete silence.” She turned back around to the comms and spoke.
“Yes yes, this is the..” Anastasia thought for a second. “Sierra Zulu 1. We are in a bad state of disrepair and require assistance. May we request permission to dock please.”
Anastasia waited for the response. Finally the radio buzzed.
Yes yes, welcome aboard. Please dock your ship in bay number 2, and we will guide you from there. Welcome to Eden Space Station.Anastasia turned around and wiped the sweat off of her brow. That was a close one. It could have ended very badly for them. Their journey could have possibly ended there. But it didn't and that’s all that mattered. She turned to talk to Valerius. “
Listen captain. Everyone has personal likes and it doesn't hurt to have something you like, but make sure it doesn't get the best of you. I’ll get us supplies extremely cheap here. Count on me. The rest of you go relax and take a break. Meet in the bar right outside of the docking bay when you all are ready to head on your way. Keep in touch if anything goes wrong. And please all of you. Try not to cause havoc. This is one of the only places for sure in the universe where we’ll be accepted no matter what and I don’t want that ruined.”
The ship slowly pulled into the station. The dock was filled with people of all different races entering or leaving the bay, as they pulled in, the ship whirred to a stop and the bay doors opened.
