A few weeks later, as the ship was nearing completion, Stephan had everybody calling those they had selected for the first group. Starting the list they had prepared, Stephan's first call was to Greg.
"Hello?" Greg answered.
"Hey, Greg." Stephan greeted, "You ready to stop playing spy and help us get the colony started up?"
"Sure thing!" Greg eagerly responded, "I'm about five minutes from the office. You want me to meet you there or head to the launch pad and get the shuttle ready?"
"We weren't planning on flying today." Stephan told him chuckling, "But you can go ahead and get the shuttle ready for us to do a quick test tomorrow after the ship gets finished."
"Sure thing!" Greg agreed, "I'll have everything set to go with takeoff set for nine am. See you then, boss!" When the call ended Stephan then proceeded to calling his portion of the list.
