A couple more weeks passed, and we were within a day of when the asteroid was supposed to strike Terra Duorum. But the captain's work had paid off the the path had been diverted enough to miss the planet altogether.
Amazingly everything looked like it was going to work out. The captain should be returning here in the next day.
The next day like clockwork his craft started to orbit the earth and begin it's descent. He shouldn't have a problem navigating his way back to the Sphere after everything he had already done.
We could start to see him with the naked eye as he approached the commercial landing strip that I first visited so many days ago.
