Jennifer Watts saw Grace walking down the hallway towards the showers and she stopped her.

"Might want to wait about an hour Stamper." Jen informed her and Grace shot her a confused look. "McDaniels and Sharpe have commandeered the shower room…" Jen's face was turning redder while trying to hold back her laughter. Grace's eyes went wide and she laughed along with Jennifer.

"They're at it again?!"

"Again?!" Jennifer asked with wide eyes.

"Yeah, McDaniels told me they had sex in a supply room last night."

"HOLY SHIT!" The two women turned around and saw Dan Truman standing there with Rockhound, AJ, Nathan Gruber and Colonel Max Davis. Rockhound grinned at Max Davis.

"I fucking told you so!" He chortled at the military man who shrugged.

The next day the oil drillers, the flight crew and a computer technician were sitting around a large table listening to Dan Truman giving them more information that they needed to hear. When Kathy entered the room everybody was grinning at her but Ron Quincy was snickering silently and she looked at him confusedly. She sat down beside Freddy Noonan who started to leer at her.

"So had a little fun time in the shower huh?" Freddy asked grinning and Kathy rolled her eyes and glared at Jennifer who shrugged sheepishly at her.

Will Sharpe entered the conference room and paused seeing everybody staring at him with smirks. He walked towards his chair and heard the snickers and when he passed Nathan the younger man reacted.

"Bow chicka bow wow…" He teased Will while Tim Halsey snorted in laughter.

That released the floodgate of catcalls and wolf whistles from the flight crew and oil drillers even some of the scientists nearby were practically giggling. He sat beside Max Davis whom had a shit eating grin on his face.

"You too Brutus?" Will asked his friend who snorted in laughter. Will looked over at Kathy with a scowl and she shook her head.

"Don't look at me, you were the one that announced yourself to Watts." Kathy put her hands up in surrender and Will glared over at Jennifer who smiled at him innocently.

"So do you share the shower with just any person or do I have to take a number?" Rockhound asked Kathy curiously with a leer and Will shot him a murderous expression. Rockhound swallowed nervously and sunk lower in his seat.

"Oscar please hit him." Kathy asked the blonde haired man who promptly turned in his chair and slapped Rock in the head.

"OW MAN! WHAT THE HELL?!" Rock whined rubbing his head.

"She played along with me and AJ over Star Wars and even ended our argument over roles. Us two pledge our undying loyalty and adoration to her. Sorry man…"

"Great." Kathy grumbled quietly to Will and Max Davis. "Now I have a Beavis and Butthead Fan Club." Both men snickered silently and Dan Truman came into the room ready to start and Dan gave her a sharp look and she cleared her throat.

"Ok people, so here's the flight plan: Now let's keep the laughter to a minimum; I know this is not to scale. Both shuttles will take off Tuesday at 6:30 pm. Now sixty-seven minutes later, you're gonna dock with the Russian space station to meet Cosmonaut Andropov who will refuel the shuttles with liquid O2, that's your fuel. Then you'll release and take a sixty hour trip towards the moon." He glanced over at the group in blue flight suits and quirked an eyebrow at Will Sharpe who was sitting beside McDaniels. "Now, we only have one shot of landing on this rock and that's precisely when the asteroid passes the moon. You'll then use lunar gravity and burn your thrusters, sling-shotting you around the moon, coming up behind the asteroid. You'll be upward of eleven G's." Dan informed the group.

"Yeah, I remember this one," Rockhound interrupted. "It's where the coyote sat his ass down in a slingshot and he strapped himself to an ACME rocket. Is that what we're doing here?"

"Rockhound," Harry warned quietly.

"No, no really, because it didn't work out too well for the coyote, Harry."

Kathy's eyes widened in horror.

"Oh dear god, we're all going to die…" She bemoaned quietly and Will shot her a dark look.

"Well, actually, we have a lot better rockets than the coyote." Dan Truman mentioned back to Rockhound and this time Max Davis' eyes widened.

"Dan Truman just made a joke, it really 'is' the end of the world…" He grumbled making Kathy and Freddy snort in laughter. Dan glared the three of them into silence and continued.

"Now, when you've finished your 'Roadrunner thrust' move, you'll be moving at 22,500 miles per hour. Coming around behind the asteroid where we're hoping that the tail debris will be cleared by the moon's gravity. And you'll land right here." He moved the rockets to the suspended asteroid replica. "That's it." Walter Clark took his cue, drawing their attention to him.

"We've got separate landing sites for each team, softest parts of the rock as we can figure. At NASA we don't take chances, we double-up on everything. First team that hits eight hundred feet wins."

"Ok, Mr. Truman," Oscar began. "Let's say that we actually do land on this. What's it gonna be like up there?"

"Two hundred degrees in the sunlight, minus two hundred in the shade. Canyons of razor-sharp rock, unpredictable gravitational conditions, unexpected eruptions…Things like that," he responded nonchalantly.

"Ok, so the scariest environment imaginable…Thanks, that's all you gotta say: 'scariest environment imaginable'." Oscar had paled in fear but he noticed that everybody's faces were a bit colorless.

Kathy felt a hand on her thigh and she looked over at Will Sharpe who barely glanced at her as he listened. She lightly covered his hand with hers trying to offer him some comfort and he smirked lightly at her.

"Ok, so you drill, you drop the nuke, and you leave. Now here's the key: you're gonna remote detonate the bomb before the asteroid passes this plane." He nodded at Dr. Quincy who turns on a monitor. "Zero barrier. You do that and the remaining pieces of rock should be deflected enough to pass right by us. Now if the bomb explodes after zero barrier-" The computer showed the rocks hit earth. "Game's over."
