Which world? ``Vanna: We do not know for certain, but everything points to Cepheus. So I will be mailing Cheb when we are back. It will probably be our next visit, and if you agree to come, we can be there in 12 hours. ``Master: That is an enticing offer. ``Vanna: We have to take the two Bears, from Cables, as I did to Algol, but my costs in overheads will be far less. ``Master: As long as we can get Cosmo cleaned up and checked over, plus fresh fuel, which is different to what we have onboard, then I will agree. ``Vanna: Wonderful. I will hop over and see Pilot. ``Tetra: I am hungry. ``Vanna: We only ate 3-hours ago, but I think I understand. Mum, can you heat up some food packs?

Subject - Tonight. Dear Pilot, can I pop some fuel samples over, and would you like to put me up? Regards Vanna. Sent.
