“Okay, let’s see what we have here,” Diana said to herself, taking the plastic bag, pulling out a few crystal samples, and put one under the microscope in her lab.
It had only been a week and a half into the five year mission, and the exploration team had just gotten back from their first planet. With them, they brought back samples of different flora and soil. Thankfully, they also brought back some rocks and crystals.
Tying her hair back in a loose ponytail, she looked through the microscope, centering it in her field of vision. She then turned on the screen next to her, revealing a large, blown up image of the rock formation. Taping a piece of paper to the screen, she started to trace the image’s outline, making sure she got every corner and plane. Granted, she could have just taken a picture, but she was old fashioned.
Hearing chatting outside, she walked away from her work, pressed a button on the wall, and shut the door, before turning back to her work. She could still see the large group of people through the door’s small window, but at least she couldn’t hear them. Diana knew that she should at least try to be social, but she didn’t want to just yet.
