“Who is this one?” Annalise asks as a new face pops up on the screen.
“Oliver Hampton,” Frank explains as he passes out Hampton’s file to Annalise. “Graduated Magna Cum Laude from MIT with degrees in Astrophysics and Engineering. Masters in Engineering from Cal Tech. Top marks in flight sims. He’s flown mission specialist for docking and research missions.”
“So, he’s the brains?” Annalise concludes as she reads through the rather impressive dossier. “This is a two-man assignment. Who are we thinking for the brawn?”
Bonnie nods for Frank to click to the next picture and hands over a second file to the commander. “This is Connor Walsh. He was a lieutenant with the Air Force. Piloted numerous missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. Top marks in our flight sims and training modules. He’s piloted several docking missions and did a stint last year aboard the International Space Station.”
“This mission isn’t going to be a stint,” Annalise says as she skims Walsh’s file. “This going to be a year assignment. Both these candidates understand that?” Frank and Bonnie both nod and Annalise looks back to the files in front of her. “Personality tests?”
Bonnie reaches over to point to the flagged pages in each file. “They scored well on the compatibility tests.”
“They play nice in training?” Annalise asked, raising her head at Frank’s snort. “Something to share?”
