MARS-SUN L4—UDACHNYAcademician Sergii Anatoly Borisovich stepped through a portal into Isidor Orlov’s domed office. His normally dour countenance was full of smiles.
“What is it that required your visit to my office?” Orlov inquired gruffly.
“The high-power LANR is installed and tested, Sir,” Borisovich said with a satisfied tone. “Your ABO starship is ready to be christened and taken on its shakedown cruise.”
“Shakedown what?”
“An operational cruise where we test every system to ensure they all work together.”
Orlov grunted.
“Have you selected a name for the very first ABO starship?”
Orlov looked up, almost as if he had finally actually recognized the academician’s presence. “Name…why yes, we will call her (Udachnyy Zvezdolet Yuri Gagarin—Udachny Starship Yuri Gagarin ).”
Severa
