“We’re nearing the ring,” the pilot informed the crew.

The crew of the military transport harrier leaned to the windows, gazing upon the vast object as they approached. It was difficult to appreciate how large forty-seven miles long and five miles in diameter truly were until one sees it for themselves. The outer shell of the Gabriel Ring was black, reflecting the lights of the stars. Rings of windows wrapped around one end, indicating where the workers were stationed. The center of the ring was nothing more than empty space though all knew the green and blue hues that would line the edges when it prepared to launch a vessel to the next system. The docked on the outer edge, much the way a flea jumps onto a dog.

The harrier closed in, the wall of black engulfing their view of the solar system. At the moment, Neptune had been the only planet visible, with Pluto far off in its orbit. The Gabriel Ring made its own orbit, ensuring that it remained aligned with the Earth at all times. As they neared the docking ring, a long tube reached out to them, gently locking onto the seal around the exterior hatch and pulling the ship to the locking clamps.

Several minutes passed before the pressure was filled into the docking station, allowing for Sanchez to open the exterior hatch. The military escorts went first, followed by the scientist, Jones, and the two pilots. Unlike their time at the Cyber lab, the pilots did not feel like remaining in the ship, clinging onto the Gabriel Ring when there were more interesting activities inside.

Jones felt the door slide shut in a swoop of wind, the tail of his jacket flapping against his backside.

“So there you are,” a short man in a gray uniform muttered. “Welcome to the Gabriel Ring, blah blah, try not to break anything.”

“Well, glad to see manners exist in space,” Keenan replied, heaving his bag to his other hand.

The short man’s features scrunched on his face as he leaned into the heavy-set historian. The man’s brows were thick, adding more emphasis to his distaste.

“Now look, just because you got some document from the Vice President that says I have to help you, doesn’t mean I have to enjoy it. As far as I’m concerned, you’re all just a pain in my ass that I have to keep scratching til it goes away. So can the theatrics and realize that you’re on a military station. You got it, baldie?”

Jones tried not to laugh as the short man’s hair was terribly thin. A few more years of regression would leave him looking the same as Keenan though far less fat. Keenan stepped back,
