The Message

The space shuttle made it back to Sodenia’s docks with less than five minutes to spare. For Eora, having less than five minutes to spare was a little too close for comfort. So, as the space shuttle was docking, she was already standing up and getting ready to leave. Sodenia’s artificial gravity was already affecting the shuttle and returning normal weight to their bodies. Going from more than double their weight to zero and back to normal was debilitating to Eora. Now, simple movements felt like an impossible task. But she wasn’t done yet.

“As soon as that door opens,” Eora said as she gestured towards the loading dock door at the back of the shuttle, “we are moving out. Go to either side of the shuttle so the rescue crew can enter the shuttle easily and pull out the capsules.”

“Yes, ma’am,” Lorenzo said, getting up right away from his seat. The other two followed.

“Fain,” Eora said through the coms. “As soon as we dock, we are coming out. Just give us a few seconds to clear the shuttle.”

“You got it,” Fain said through the coms. “We are standing by to help in any way we can.”

The shuttle came to a stop, and the rear door opened. Eora and her crew immediately ran out to the docks. There was a large group of people already waiting for them, including several medics, Pycca and some of her engineers, five or six Anvelins, and Fain. Eora went to the left of the space shuttle while her crew went to the right. She and her crew stopped running as soon as they were far enough away from the crowd.

Without giving it a second thought, Eora took off her helmet and drew in a lung-full of fresh air. She began sweating profusely. Her body was exhausted and her muscles were in pain, and she instantly fell to her knees. She attempted to keep removing her suit, but she couldn’t; she was just too tired. She hadn’t realized that she was this tired. Was it because the danger was over and the adrenaline was beginning to fade away? She looked over to the right, trying to spot her crew. She saw glimpses of them, also on the floor.

Eora heard some footsteps near her, and when she looked at her surroundings, she saw a group of medics already standing there.

“Ma’am,” one of the medics said as she got on her knees to talk with Eora. “We are here to help you. We’ll start an assessment.”

“Just please,” Eora said, trying to catch her breath. “Please, help me take off this stupid suit.” She felt like she couldn’t move because of it, and she wanted it off.

“Yes, ma’am,” the nearby medic said. “If anything hurts, please let us know.”

Eora nodded as the group of medics went to work on her suit. The medics expertly took off the spacesuit, leaving only the liquid cooling and heating ventilation garment on.

“Thank you,” Eora said once they were done.

“We’ll take your vitals now,” the medic said.
