Without any preamble, Zip retrieved the sealed envelope from the Starventure’s safe. As he did so, the men gathered around him. He turned and faced the crew. Glancing into their faces, he could almost feel their apprehension. “It’s only a planet,” he said, trying to sound normal. “It’s just stone and ice such as we’ve seen in many other places of the Solar System.” He tore open the envelope, unfolded the paper that was inside it, and stared at what Dr. O had written. “Well?” asked Joe. “The planet’s name is Nyx. Dr. O named it after the Roman goddess of night.” “And somewhere down there we expect to find Lurton Zimbardo,” declared Joe, more a statement than a question. He glanced almost casually out of the window again. Suddenly he stiffened. “What’s that?” he exclaimed. “What’s what?” cried out Mark. Everyone rushed to the windows once again. “I saw a glint, down there, just beyond that high ridge. It’s gone now.” “Check the video feed,” ordered Zip. Instantly the cabin was filled with excitement. * * * * * Like it? Want to see how it comes out? Keep up with the latest news in the Starman series by checking our web site regularly.
