SPACE JUNK : AN INTERSTELLAR ROMANTIC COMEDY PART 3


Capt. David Argyle as he and a lot of weird shipment his temper in the INC but the story that the two sanitary engineers were spinning was a bit out there.
“Where exactly was your scow located when you discovered the body?” The Capt. asked.
“I checked the coordinates sir it was approximately 7.1358 km from space station Cormorant.” Coop explained
“that’s weird. We just left their two days ago I’m sure I would’ve noticed something like that.” Capt. Argyle sighed.
Al spoke up “that just means the body was jettisoned since then.”
“Obviously, yes. We’ll know more after the doctor examines the body. Why don’t you to avail yourself of the canteen and chill for a bit?”
Coop looked at his com watch “can we just go? We still have our rounds to do them are falling behind by hanging out here. No offense captain but I’m pretty creeped out by the whole event.”
“I’m afraid you just can’t leave right yet but I will call the sanitation division for you and explain that you’ve had a traumatic incident and you can take the time to write your reports.” The captain offered.
Al and Coop looked at each other and Coop spoke up “well, I could eat!”
Al just looked at him “after that? My stomach is still turning!”
“Is called stress eating dude!” Coop replied shaking his head. Captain spoke up again “I’ll get someone to escort you.”
Just as Coop was about to speak up and protest there was a knock at the door.
“Enter” the captain replied
Sarah stepped in it was face-to-face with her one night stand.
“Sarah?” Coop said thinking he was hallucinating.
“Coop, what are you doing here?”
“There was a problem with something we found on our route and we had to report it. Your ship was the closest one.” He explained
“like what?” Sara was curious.
Capt. spoke up “sorry, Lieut. French that information is classified.”
“That’s fine sir. If you’re busy, I can come back.”
The captain shook his head. “No Lieut. it’s fine. These two young men were just going to find the right the computer skirt them to the canteen and then we can talk okay?
Sarah nodded “yes sir. I’ll be back soon come on guys all show you the way to the canteen.”
Coop spoke up “thanks Sarah
“please address me as Lieut. French as I am on duty.”
Coop mock saluted “yes ma’am!”
Sarah merely shot him a look as if to say she was not impressed.
Merely shrugged “sorry Lieut. You weren’t so uptight at Al for station eight weeks ago.” He sniped.
Sarah turned on her heel and faced him “that. Never. Happened. Just forget about it!”
“So you think it was a mistake? Thanks so what Lieut.!” Coop sneered but he was quite hurt by her rejection.
“Sorry coop. You’re right, I used you. I was jilted and I needed a release I’m really sorry you got caught up in that.”
“No problem Lieut. Consider it forgotten. We can find our own way. We wouldn’t want to keep a rocket scientist from important work!” He quipped sarcastically.
“That’s not gonna happen I can’t let you roam the ship on your own. Follow me and don’t say a damn thing!”
Coop saluted again “yes ma’am!”
Sarah just ignore that comment and kept walking until they were at the canteen. She just turned to them and said “enjoy.”
