I awoke the next morning feeling great, plans are falling into place. I collected kisses and went to the flight deck to see the new satellites before they launched. There were 12 of them, 9 for the planet and 3 for the moon. They were sleek and looked perfect; they were duplicates except for numbering above the name.

PEGASUS was in bold letters along the side of each. I looked at B "I see you chose a name and I love it". I could see the pride on his face and it looked good on him. "I will stop bugging you and harass someone else". He laughed as he returned his attention to the task at hand.

I went to find Becky finding her in her quarters. She was editing a video in a makeshift studio she had set up. "I'm making some short videos for the site". She didn't even look up. "The site is what I'm here to talk about is actually a new site for the new communication network". She perked up "the Pegasus network is coming online today and we are going to need a site. We are going to bring online a global network. I'm going to need a site to show people where to get the SIM cards or our comms devices. We haven't figured out all the logistics yet but I'm working on it. The network will give free calling anywhere on the planet including the moon". Becky looked at me wide eyed "oh yea we are building a moon base" I giggled.

I looked around her quarters "if you want take another set of quarters and turn it into a studio for yourself and you need to start looking for staff". She put a grin on her face "you already have a plan don't you". She nodded. "I didn't want to intrude and take over a space". I started to laugh "this ship is big enough that if you want a full studio go ahead and build it". She looked at me shocked and I smiled "not the answer you were expecting" she just nodded. "Go meet some of the newcomers and see if someone has the skills you are looking for. I trust you so even if you have some contacts on the ground you just say the word. You know what you need and I trust your decisions".

She smiled "thank you for that. This is the chance of a lifetime, I will have to beat them off with a stick" she said laughing.

We were sitting there discussing things about a studio when my comms went off. I got a message with a hologram. The Pegasus network is online with a winged horse with a rider. I looked close and saw the rider was B. I sent a message to B telling him I love it.

I got a call from Jaden asking why her children are glowing. "The Pegasus network is live so we have access anywhere on the planet". We chatted for a few minutes while I could hear the girls laughing in the background.

I finished work with Becky and made my way to the twins area. They I were in the middle of having a big meal so I joined them. Sam the cook came to me "it's nice to see you again". "How are things going here?" She smiled "people seem to like eating here instead of their quarters. Eating together seems to bring us together. There are a lot of lost souls here and we have been banding together to support them". That made me smile "how is the meal planning going?" She produced a clipboard "I have extra people signed up for the next week".

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

We sat and chatted and she let me know she loves the fact there are no dishes.

The twins came over to see me "just the people I came to see. The Pegasus network came online so we need to look into communication devices for the people. Have many people wanted to reach out to anyone". Emma shook her head "not really but I'm sure that will change".

"How are things running?" Ryan took this one "now that we have 43 families the schools are full. The number of singles is the most, we are up to 249".

We walked around and talked till I saw a young boy carrying what looked like raw feedstock. I approached him and asked where he got it and his dad stepped in "it is part of our car". I started to laugh "that's fantastic, keeping your cars as a keepsake is a novel idea". He looked at me "that car served me well and it was a neat memory to keep". I saw him talking to the twins as I talked to his son. His eyes shot open, I'm assuming he found out who I was. He came back to me "Captain, you gave us a future for my family when I couldn't. For that I am forever in your debt". I smiled "all you have to do is move forward and build from here. We will remove a lot of the roadblocks that will let you succeed in something you choose for yourself". He smiled and shook my hand.

We continued down one of the spokes and met a few people who no longer have addiction and seem lost now. I sat and talked to a few people who seemed to be having trouble adjusting. The twins set up buddy programs so newcomers weren't alone, it seemed to work but it may need tweaking. Wanting to get off drugs is one thing, it's a different story when it happens. We made our way back to the tree and we parted ways.

Back in my quarters I found Lisa and Cora in a heated discussion. I saw the looks on their faces and tried to sneak into my office but they caught me. They didn't look mad, they just looked concerned. Lisa started "Cora thinks I should get pregnant first then her. I think both at the same time works"

I just exhaled and blinked. They both looked at me waiting for an answer. "I'm not sure how to respond to that comment" I said. Cora took my hands "I am a secondary wife so I take less priority". I looked at her "I don't want you to ever say that again" I said in a stern voice she looked like she was going to cry. "You and Lisa are equals and that's the way it will always be". She looked at Lisa who was nodding. Now she did start to cry, but they were happy tears.

I chuckled "when it comes to babies it's up to nature, I don't think we get a say in the matter". They smiled "it will happen when it happens. How did we end up on this topic?" They both chuckled and Cora answered "we were talking about names and we both want your moms name". I started to laugh "of all things to argue about this is an easy one". Both girls came for a kiss.

Vickey appeared and said "you need to see this". She waved her hand and 6 screens popped up. The kits were flying strafing missions at L4 and destroying anything classified as junk. Vickey turned to me "NASA and the ESA gave us a list of what was active". We sat and watched as paint flecks and rocket boosters were targeted and eliminated. We watched for about 20 mins then turned in for the evening.
