Mercainia's Revenge


   After the launching of the spacecraft things turn serious, the autoboc's movements are quick and direct. The sensor panel is flashing data streams of information, while Lucy monitors the spacecrafts critical information systems. Charlie locates the communication satellite and gets ready to lock on to its signal for an information download.  He now turns the controls over to the autoboc until the task is complete. On this day the routine is perfect and Lucy assumes the pilot position for the return trip back down to earth.
