~Another ship/station assignment; super~ TJ thought. This was typical of being in R&D. A stint away to experience how the systems are used. ~We design them to be ship/station compatible. That’s why we test them so much.~ This was the frustrating part. At least this time he was coming on his own accord; no court, no relatives.

TJ was told that Magellan was one of the new stations. That would at least make this stint a little easier. He could focus on improvements; not fixing old systems. That was what TJ didn’t like about these assignments. R&D was about improving the systems; not patching up a system that had been improved.

He’d be at Magellan soon. TJ would rather be tinkering back at R&D. But, at least this stay would have some decent places to eat.
