Bridge of the A.M.S. NOSTROMO

In low Earth orbit, Solar System

‘’The AEGIS has flown out and is now on its way towards the Sun, Tina.’

‘’Thank you, Amin.’ replied Tina, sitting in her command chair on the bridge. She then watched the temporal command cutter as its image quickly shrank on the holographic sphere containing the bridge. The AEGIS and the Project Tempus team were now on their way to accomplish a new historical documentation mission in the past, taking advantage of the fact that the NOSTROMO was back in Earth orbit in order to load more cargo and supplies for Asiana. The way that the first historical documentaries produced by the Project Tempus had been greeted with enthusiasm by the public on Earth and around the Spacers League had certainly been most encouraging, on top of bringing in some very appreciable new revenues to the New Haven Corporation, revenues which had allowed Tina to add substantially to the facilities and residential capacity on New Haven. This newest temporal mission, which was going to target the 20th Century and its numerous wars, should prove as equally fruitful as the first ones.
