She was his daughter after all. He didn't want to allow her to go travelling through space in the first place but she had pleaded. He shouldn't have allowed her; he should have put his foot down, but he couldn't crush her dreams. Now, he was scared he was going to lose her.

"Yes sir!" the employees acknowledged as they got back to work.
