[Unit R] Matt's Storyline

Unit R: The Radical

Approximately 12 hours before landing.

The rest of the crew is gathered in the dining area, sharing a meal filled with a mix of excitement and nervous anticipation. Their destination, a new planet, remains shrouded in mystery due to unclear imaging, leaving everyone on edge about what awaits them.

Meanwhile, Matt stands by a large viewport, staring out into the vastness of space, a mug of coffee cradled in his hands. His mind is a whirlwind of thoughts, contemplating the unknown that lies ahead.

Jenny, his partner and the ship's beautiful doctor and biologist, approaches him quietly. "Penny for your thoughts?" she asks, her voice gentle.

He grins, a flicker of amusement in his eyes. "There's always so much to think about," he replies. "I'm considering all the possibilities when we arrive."

Jenny smiles, understanding his constant need to think things through.

"How do you think Unit X is doing?" he asks her.

She rolls her eyes playfully. "Stop worrying about them, Matt. I'm sure they're doing fine. Either way, it's out of your hands now."

Despite her reassurance, Matt can't shake the feeling of unfinished business. Unit X wasn't just any team; it included his dear cousin, Camille, and two individuals he respected and saw as rivals, Samantha Baker and Destiny Moore. The proximity of their planets, HFH-X to HFH-R, had always made him consider the possibility of their paths crossing again.

"We're almost at the next stage of the mission," Jenny says, placing a comforting hand on his arm.

Matt nods, appreciating her steady presence.

"Are you gonna celebrate tonight?" Devon shouts from the dinner table, his voice cutting through the hum of conversation and laughter.

Matt grins, pulling Jenny closer. "Of course," he replies, a mischievous glint in his eye.

The crew erupts into cheers and laughter, clearly enjoying themselves as the drinks flow freely.

Jenny blushes, trying to maintain her composure. "Matt..." she chides softly, pushing him away with a playful shove. She then struts off, her fine, tight figure catching his eye as she moves.

Matt watches her go, a smile lingering on his lips as he turns back to his coffee, feeling the warmth of the moment and the anticipation of what's to come.

He watches her go, a smile playing on his lips before turning back to his coffee and the view outside. His mind drifts back to the countless scenarios he's imagined for their landing, each one filled with challenges and opportunities.

As he sips his coffee, Matt knows that whatever awaits them, he's ready to face it head-on.
