Rick Rawden trudged up the flowerbed path, heading straight for the front porch. It had been a busy day at college, but not as hectic as this evening was going to be. His studying was significant, and he had been studying some very significant modules this term, but absolutely nothing that could equate to the project he had to accomplish tonight - at home - absolutely nothing less than the saving of the entire galaxy from hordes of alien invaders.

The star trek laptop fired up inside the darkened room. Rick’s eyes peered fervently into the glowing magic screen, seeking any significant mission update from his comrades that might signify a critical development in their quest.

He summoned up all his reserves and punched into his keyboard the essential commands that would bring the ship around and rally the crew to the life or death struggle that awaited them.

“Dinner is ready” came the familiar voice up the stairs.

“In a minute Mom!” replied Rick. He mustn’t break his trail of believed now, his need to maintain his concentrate.

“It’s obtaining cold!”

“Ok ok, I’m coming.”

Rick hit the send button. His newest SIM to the crew of his Starship was sent by means of cyberspace in the speed of light. He had completed all he could, and he only hoped they would be able to save the ship without him now.
