The wind and snow of the North Pole raged furiously around WOOHP tracking station 'BRAVO'. The domed building stood out from the desolate landscape, its lights shining brightly through the glass windows, illuminating the nearby surroundings of the otherwise dark landscape.

Inside, the monitor control room was toasty warm, much to the relief of its two current operators, Mike Galloway and June Tarrant. It was a particularly dull work shift, sitting in front of the computer screens, looking out for anything untoward that might appear in the nearby area. The problem was that in the seven years since the base was constructed, nothing exciting had happened in their area at all. No mad schemes to take over the world, no falling meteorites, not even a daring explorer who had lost his way in the snow.

"Oh, why couldn't we get an assignment in Los Angeles," grumbled June as she sipped her hot chocolate. "They seem to have all the excitement down there."

Mike looked across at her and raised an eyebrow. "I thought you said you always wanted a quiet and fairly basic kind of life," he said.

"I must have been out of my mind," snorted June. "I certainly didn't expect to be wind up in this frozen nightmare!"

Mike smiled sympathetically, feeling just as bored and restless as his colleague. "Well, we've only got another month to go before our shift here is over," he yawned. "Then I can get home to my beautiful wife and you can be back with your lovely girlfriend."

June smiled at the prospect of seeing Sara again, especially since she was planning to pop the big question to her as soon as they were reunited. Sara was a fairly shy girl and had not summoned enough courage to propose, so June decided to be the proposer. She had the ring all ready in advance, waiting for a really romantic moment to give it to her. Looking forward to that moment made going through this tiresome job almost worthwhile. She was just starting to dream of their wedding, when there was a sudden, intense blip on the monitor screen in front of Mike.

"Hey, look," he said in surprise. "Looks like we've got company."

June bolted upright and gazed at the screen, grateful for any distraction from this dull routine. "Is that a ship?" she asked in surprise, staring closely at the blinking light.

Mike shrugged. "Could be. Or maybe it's a copter that got lost in the snow or something. Whatever it is, I better get out there and check it out."

"I'll come along with you," insisted June. "You might require some help out there. Besides, anything is better than sitting around here, twiddling my thumbs all night."
