- Mid Space

 
You have 2 hours to get here.""Why's that?""That's when my life support runs out."
 
"Ok, see you soon.." Jay turned to Alota and Phil, "Permission to launch a rescue?"
"Granted.."
"cool" with that Jay sat at one of the many swivel chairs surrounding the control room of the Green November and continued his poker game with Amber and Kara.
 
Everyone watched Jay for a few minutes, before Eve asked "Jay..the rescue?!"
"I know!" said Jay "You heard him he say's he's got two hours!"
"JAY!"
"What's the rush?!" Jay said.
Eve turned to Phil and Alota, and dumbfounded by Jay's seeming lack of concern for his friend could'nt get any words out, just a series of gasps and hand waving.
"Look!" said Jay "He's on a trajectory bringing him this way, the longer I leave it, the closer he gets to us, the shorter the distance I need to travel and therefore the more fuel I conserve"
"SO?!" Eve said, "Someone's life is at stake!"
"He won't lose life support for 2 hours!..ok.1 hour 57 minutes, but have you seen the fuel inventory for the fleet? We're in a bad way, gotta save it where I can!"
"but.."
"BESIDES!" said Jay "I know something you guys don't.."
"Whats that"
 
CRASH!!!!!!
 
"That" 
 
External cameras showed the E.V.E1 had just collided with the ships hull and Zodar was scrabbling along the stern section toward the airlock.
"I'll go get him in a sec..." Jay said.
