France
In a small village of france,former head of the European corps of enginers jose marie perizau was in the fields.
His wife directed eller and styles to where he was. He had become a farmer.
“Leftent colnel parizou!”eller said.”i am not a leftenent colnel any more! Call me jose!”perizau said. ” Look i am putting together a team to investigate the disapearence of a probe on the outor rim. We need a chief enginer ! I would like you to assume that role. “Styles said.
“My days in space are over! I perfer my gardens. Humanity is not ready for the stars. A hundred years perhaps mayby sooner. It is not time!”he said in a french accent of English.
“I can’t agree. If not now,when? We are at a turning point mr. Parizue! I fear that we may turn inward. I am pleased with what humanity has accomplished. We need to take that next step! “Eller said.
“Your probe. It was mostlikly a malfunction !”the french engineer commented. “Perhaps ! That is why we are going ! We want the best. We want all the people and entities of our planet represented. This is important !” Lyman eller said.
” Why me? There are others in the e.h that could fulfil thr duties of the engineer !”the colnel said. “Not with your sature! You are the most notted enginer in eroupe perhaps the most noted European satesman. I need credibility. You provide that!”lyman said.
“I am not suportive of space exploration at least. Not at this time. Down the road maybe. Not now! “He said.
“The debate is over sir. We are going ! You can come or not! I do not care either way! “Corner styles said.
“I am not interested. You will have to find someone else!” The frenchman said. “Is that your final answer ?”styles asked. “Yes it is! “He said. “We can’t stun him with a lazzer and force him to go. It is his chioce ! ” eller said. The two left.
The man just stood there. His wife came over. “What was that all about?”she asked. “They wanted me to join there space exploration mission ! I declined!” He said.

The co pilot presed a button. A hiden base in the ice apeared. Thr craft entered the hanger bay.they saw the x 10000. “Is that it?”shumar said. “Indeed it is welcome to the future ! ” the pilot said. The craft went to a hatch. The ship attached itself to the vessel. “The pod is docked!”the pilot said.
