The Rescue

~ Sci-Fi Speculative Fiction Short Story ~
This story is dedicated to the men and women who have given their lives charting new frontiers, whether at home or in space. Though this particular story is designed to be "campy" and fun, we respect the seriousness of lives lost in the field of exploration as a very real tragedy.

Ordered to fly low-level scans for trilidium on an uninhabited rock of a planetoid known only as X37, Teelak and Adria yearn for more exciting missions. Then they survive a crash landing only to learn the rock isn't as empty as they think.
Just what is out there? Will they be rescued?
