Their orbit
Linnea and Christina had been friends and co-workers for years, the two of them were basically inseparable. They had both been on the ISS and were now preparing for Artemis 2. But for a while, the two of them had grown oddly close, too close. But they were completely oblivious to it themselves. Reid, Victor and Jeremy had caught onto it quickly, and now the three of them were betting on two people who were important to their mission. - WRITERS NOTE - Ok guys this is my first story EVER so please be patient! My first language is not English so bear with me💔 I'm not exactly a space expert so if I call something the wrong name or something, feel free to tell me! Also I got the idea from somewhere a while ago but I don't remember who. About Linnea: She's 45, around 5'7 - 5'8 ish, originally from Norway but moved to the US once she was accepted by ESA (European space agency), her parents and siblings still live back in Norway, she has a Master's degree in aerospace engineering, math and natural sciences. She speaks fluent Norwegian, English and mostly good Russian. She's humorous, witty, caring and usually had everything in her backpack. Tylenol and ibuprofen? Ask Linnea. A pen? Linnea. Hairbrush, toothpaste, hair ties, tampons, chargers? Linnea had it all.

''I promised my mom that I would find someone that would be able to take care of me, that's what she wanted. When my whole family died and I had to move here with Jay and you.
