        Emery grumbled and threw the sheets off of himself. Tired, and slightly upset. Emery swung his legs to the side of the bed and strolled over to the mirror in the bathroom across the hall. "Ew what's that on my teeth?" he muttered. "EMERY! WORK! THEY'RE CALLING, YOU ARE LATE!" His mother shouted. "Coming! Getting ready!" Emery ran back to his room, threw his clothes off and changed right into his work clothes. He rushed down the stairs, grabbed his keys, and ran out the door. "Fuck!" He ran down the street, earning strange looks from neighbors walking dogs. 

Emery burst through the doors, coworkers also giving him weird looks. "I'm here!" He sang out to his boss, Mr. Foxburn. "About damn time, Emery." Foxburn said, unamused. Emery runs over to the shaft that holds operations of the ships. "Emery! great to see you." His favorite coworker, Raylin said. "Thanks, any updates?" He asked. "Yes! You're going to Novar to test for lifeforms! We found signs." She strolled away from him. "Really?" Emery's eyes lit up.

Emery stared at the ship, fear scraping at his stomach. "When do we leave?" He asked. "In just a minute." She responded. "Oh alright." He sweated. Emery put his helmet on, prepared the oxygen tanks. 

He sat on the padded seat, waving goodbye to everyone around him. He's on his way.
