SpaceNuts - The Arrival of the Shuttle - And Black Jack

It has been a long trip. But Black Jack wasn't really looking forward to the docking. Black Jack had always found the Intergalactic Space Station to be a rather cramped and desolate place. The astronauts were usually busy with EVA's and Experiments and other high-tech stuff. Even his favorite, the little red-head with Life Support Systems, never had time for Black Jack these days. And, unless there was a party, the Online Casino was pretty dull. Even though some of their sexy droids were pretty entertaining. Black Jack chuckled to himself, remembering his last visit. But Black Jack wasn't here to play. The New Aerospace Slots Association had asked him to come. Something was about to happen. Black Jack had simply been invited (by a messenger droid carrying 10,000 zlotys - not a sum to be sneezed at) to meet with the NASA contact on the ISS.

Black Jack was wary - NASA had their own big guns and rarely called on someone with his particular talents. Also, Black Jack was hesitant to get involved with reigning empires - he'd seen the old space movies - somehow, the bad guys always came to a bad end. He sat, pondering the possibilities. Deep in thought, Black Jack barely noticed the docking, until the final hard-dock jarred him from his reverie. He picked up his bag, followed the other passengers, and stooped to pass through into the airlock. Black Jack really wished he had brought his own space ship - he hated shuttle travel. As he passed into the large ISS corridor he noticed a lone figure standing by the wall - away from the other passengers. She was looking right at him - with recognition and joy - but he had never seen her before. But she was gorgeous. Black Jack was intrigued - he couldn't resist the side-track form his mission. NASA could wait - firs things first. Maybe this visit was going to be fun, after all.
