Waiting for Rescue

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 44024

A large part of the delay was caused by the need to unload all of the whisky from the Astra's hold. Of course, just to rescue me that wouldn't have been necessary, but understandably the locals wanted the Phoenix back as well. An awful lot of time and effort had gone into her building. Besides, once they got her back they could examine her thoroughly, and find out just what had gone wrong.

It looked as if it would be about twelve hours before they would reach me. Since the Phoenix was such a small vessel, I was concerned that the oxygen might not last that long, but they seemed confident that it would.

  1. Sure enough, eleven and a half hours later there was the comforting sight of the Astra approaching.
  2. After a couple of hours, the Phoenix's sensors picked up something approaching very quickly. And it was coming from totally the wrong direction to be the Astra!
