Book 2: Chapter 46: Klown Kar Planet

I did a test ping to Riker, to check my tau. I’d been doing this regularly for the last couple of days, waiting for it to drop to the point where I could maintain a VR connection. We’d been exchanging emails for a few weeks, but a tradition of sorts had developed where the moment when a travelling Bob could maintain a VR session with a stationary Bob was considered arrival. It was more significant than actual entry into the system.
I received a response, then Riker popped into VR.
“Hey, Rudy. Good to hear from you. Where’s Edwin?”
“Still not slowed down enough. I moved ahead so I could get a look at KKP. I’ll be there in about eight days, and Exodus-6 will be another week.”
Riker nodded. “Call me back when you’ve had a close look at KKP.”
