Location: Flight Deck-
''Systems check complete commander''
Hitomi stared at the many green lights in front of her, slowly going cross-eyed. She sighed, it had been a hell of a long shift. It was strange , not having the sun and the moon to tell you the time of day, rising and falling as they did.
''Thanks Merle''
''You are welcome commander''
Another sigh. Where was the hot-head? How the hell was she supposed to get them all to Mars and back if she was so tired she could barely keep her eyes open? Leaning back into her seat on the flight deck she felt her eyes closing as she recalled her last moments on Earth.........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flash back~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
''I'm here to talk to Navy commander Kanzaki Hitomi, about to board the Alpha12 shuttle to the high-orbit space station Omega3 where mankind's last hope- the Mars 1 is prepared and waiting for these brave heroes to launch.''
A woman with an oversized microphone, sunshine yellow suit with matching shoes, and a faked enthusiastic attitude (that was over done in Hitomi's opinion) spoke to the whole world through an alternated fly-mode camera as she turned to the bored but calmly waiting Navy commander.
''Miss Kanzaki, any last words before setting out on the most important mission in Earth's history?''
Hitomi shifted her head to the side slightly, to make it appear that she was putting some serious thought into the question, 'Last words, geese real confidence booster there mate', before answering word for word the tiny speech that Houston had drilled into her head earlier that day.
''My only words at this present time Sandy, are to assure the Earth's population that the mission will be a success, mankind's not done yet.''
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~End Of Flash Back~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Taking a deep breath of the artificial atmosphere, that seemed so real (mind you Houston had spent nearly 10 years designing it to be), Hitomi decided enough was enough.
Leaning forward again she hit one of the many red buttons at her control panel and flicked a smaller switch. Activating the ships communicators.
''Dryden, where the hell are you?''
All Hitomi got in reply was a small scuffle closely followed by a high pitched yelp before Van's smooth voice came through,
''er- *cough* sorry Hitomi but Dryden's having a little problem right now, but can I help you out with any thing?''
''Yes Van, actually you can help me.'' Hitomi replied, a scowl on her face and her blood pressure rising 'MEN!' she mentally screamed.
''Oh?''
''Tell the hot head that if he doesn't get his but down here right now, the next time I see him, he's out the air lock!''
''OK'', Van replied in his ever cocky tone, ''I'll pass that right along for you commander.''
Hitomi slammed the communicators off and clamed herself down. 'The Earth is doomed.'

''So how many hits you get on your web site Dilly boy?''
Dilandau resisted the urge to use the spanner he had in his hand to knock Allen out, and remained silent.
''I got 500,000, pretty good huh?'' Allen continued, pulling some hair out of his face. He really had a high opinion of himself, even though no-one else shared it.
''Yeah pretty good'' he mumbled in reply, ''and don't call me that'', he added.
''So how many you get?'' Allen asked looking over at the younger man, who had laid down on his back and moved himself under a control panel, covering half his upper body.
Dilandua sighed before answering, he really hated Allen, almost as much as he hated Dryden, it really was close. ''852''
Allen chuckled ''Where they all from your mother?''
Dilandau sniggered in spite of himself at the comment, ''Yeah'' he replied sarcastically.
