Shoot for Earth: MedSci Missions 3

Sufra Shahar had circles under her eyes as she stared intently at her office computer. While Arfus had been occupied, she’d taken the opportunity to create a special interfacing program for her slightly out of control drone assistant. Crossing her fingers, she clicked to run a series of tests to verify the code. Her eyes never left her screen as scenarios streamed by. Finally, data stopped streaming. Success!
Shaking slightly with excitement, she called the Captain to say she’d been successful. When he gave the word, she tied into Heracles and implemented the specially designed subroutines. As beings were disembarking after the battle, she called her drone friend.
“Arfus, thanks for your help with the mission! I’m glad I’ll have you back full time, now that you can give command of Chiron back over to Captain Walsh.”
“Pleased to be of service,” Arfus said. “I need to retain command in order to ensure your safety. Richard Walsh would not have been able to sacrifice an alien he had an emotional connection with to keep you safe.”
Not surprised by his response, Sufra said calmly, “Well, I hope you have a few minutes to help me with something. Can you tie in to the Heracles computer for a minute?”
“Certainly, Sufra.”
With great anticipation, Sufra waited.
