Conference Room in the Space Consortium
Joan knew that this meeting was going to be a hard one. The topic was scary, the results potentially fatal. Regardless she was going to fill a conference room full of intelligent people, people that were no strangers to making hard decisions. The room would include the crew of the Space Station Oasis and the crew from the moon colony Desert Beach. Since using their lifeboats in their hasty return to Earth, they had to decide if they were staying at the Space Consortium or going to where the U.S. Government was setting up command.
Joan Herl, the Commander of the Space Station Oasis, had just finished presenting the issues to her husband Tom and two advanced thinking computers. All three had been very close to the problems, and they had the best perspective. By debating the topic with them, she hoped to be better prepared for the full meeting.
Joan was trying to lead the discussion towards a recommendation to the combined crews. By including the two mobile computers in the discussion, they could offer a different set of opinions.
