| REASSIGNMENT | ||||
| "You'll don a body suit while on the planet," a mission controller told Eeno. "They're a bit bulky, but necessary. They're not built to last long, but they'll hold up long enough to give you the time you need to complete your mission. "I can't lie though," the mission controller added. "It will be a relief to have that suit off when you get back here to base." "I know," Eeno interjected, "This is not my first go-round." "Once you enter the planet's atmosphere there will be an initial confusion," mission control continued, "and the clarity of transmission will be greatly diminished. There's a kind of planetary veil. We'll be able to hear you just fine. Every thought and word you speak we'll hear. Planetary phenomena and disturbances down there, however, will make it difficult for you to hear us and you'll have to try to block those out. Previous expeditions have called it the need to 'clear your receptors'. But don't worry; we'll be transmitting at all times should you attempt to listen. "We're always here if you get lost down there. "You'll initially be working with a support team of two - Joba from Sector 5 and Humas from 1101. They're already suited up and down there. "From your prior assignments with Humas, you know you'll get some good support. "Joba on the other hand really struggled last time. Joba lost track of the planetary protocols and damaged several body suits forcing a lot of us to return to base sooner than hoped for. With all the time since spent training and reviewing the tenets, Joba plans to make amends this time around. "Later on, Arista from your own sector will join you to kick start your main mission, but that won't occur until the designated time. If either of you miss the coordinates, we have alternate sites to ensure the connection takes place." As Eeno conducted the final mission readiness review, Arista, Eeno's many-time companion from previous expeditions approached. "I heard your departure is moments away. How has your prep been going Eeno? Are you ready for this one?" Arista asked in good spirit. "Yeah. I'm just waiting to be called," Eeno replied. "I'm really looking forward to this next trip. I'm aware of the challenges that lie ahead, but the positive possibilities are exciting. "I feel really lucky," Eeno said with a glow. "I continue to make improvements, both in myself and for the planet on every mission I take." "You really breathe in the spirit of life," Arista offered. "Embryo present," announced mission control. The body suit was ready. Eeno approached the docking site. Arista remained to say goodbye. "I'll see you down there later on, Eeno. Keep an eye out for me!" "We've always been a good team, haven't we?" Eeno mused knowingly. Eeno entered the suit enveloped in the amniotic fluid. The temporary amnesia began upon arrival on the planet. "Where am I? Who am I?" "We're receiving Eeno's transmission loud and clear," a mission controller said. "Initiate guidance system, monitor all activity, and provide support as needed." Author's Note: We review our life after the body dies in preparation for our return to Earth when we attempt to live an improved one. We make mistakes, we reflect and prepare, and return to right our wrongs. Souls may work together in more than one human life.
