Samix sat quietly looking at Zade, completely absorbed by his story. Mistaking her silent admiration for the pity and fear he had hoped to escape, Zade hung his head and waited. Just as the silence in the shack became unbearable, the drill began beeping to signal that it had drilled through the ice and completed its analysis of the core. Stirred from her thoughts, Samix began disassembling the drilling rig. As she put the drill back in its case, Zade began removing the three-hundred-foot-long core from the hole. As he pulled it out, Zade broke off chunks and threw them outside the shack. It had no scientific significance, it only needed removed to provide access for the sensors. Samix assembled the sensors that would be lowered into the ice and scan the ecosystem of the ocean below.

As Samix started the scan, Zade asked, “How long is this going to take?”

“Should take about four hours.”

“Plenty of time for a story. You wanted to know what kind of crewmember I was, it’s only fair that I learn what kind of captain I’m being led by.”

After checking to see that the sensor was functioning properly, Samix sat back down inside the shack. She knew that it was against Unity protocol for a captain to become too familiar with her crew. Zade however wasn’t technically a Unity commissioned crewmember, and thus didn’t meet the fraternization guidelines. After thinking for a while, Samix decided that opening up couldn’t hurt and might even improve the relationship between the two of them.
