Changes VII

Yang Ming woke up with a grumbling stomach. He was positively famished. Then he noticed the food and water left beside him. He paused in surprise before devouring them all.

He also noticed the blanket on him after that. His heart warmed at the gesture, and he tried to guess who had done it for him. In the end, he could not reach a satisfying conclusion, so he left it at that.

Father Bach was no longer there. The fortifying work for this starship was done.

Finishing his food gave new energy to Yang Ming. He activated his comms and reported to his superior, "Id W47236 maintenance staff Yang Ming is done resting. Seastar maintenance is done. I'm now on Seastar, awaiting further instructions."

His superior responded swiftly, "W47236, on top of the points for your working attitude and results, we will be awarding an extra five points as incentive. Now, please assist with starship Virienko. The transport vessel is already in position for you at Passage 5. Godspeed."
