Golden Trio

"Doctor O'Connely, I assume you saw the invitation. Don't fret, I'll take care of all the designing and catering. The crew needs a bit of a moral boost since we can't contact Earth anymore. This party will be great."

When he arrived, Alexis was waiting for him on the couch. Matt could see the excitement from her body language. The sound of the door swishing open and closed made the daydreaming Alexis jump and turn toward him.
