Synopsis:

The small Gecko class scout ship shuddered and slowly rose from the small forest clearing. It paused for a few heart stopping moments before engaging its auto-pilot and thundering into the darkening sky.

Rick settled back into his less than comfy seat and tried to forget about his recent trials and tribulations. That very weird Yarkon was just unmentionable.

The strange planet quickly fell away as the ship powered through the atmosphere and into the cold unforgiving vacuum of space. This finely crafted yet throughly cliched prose would have been thoroughly wasted on Rick though - He was already fast asleep.

He was after all, asleep.

The scout ship fired its retro-rockets which jolted out sleepy hero awake just as the craft glided into the smaller, undamaged docking bay. "Ah, peace at last". he casually remarked as he thought about the long rest he was planning to have. The poor fool...
