Missing Redhead - Snippet from RISHALT for #WeWriWa #SciFiRom

Welcome to another Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors . Meet writers in various genres and read 8-10 sentence snippets of their stories. Find a new author and sample their work. Enjoy!
I’m posting snippets from the first Chapter of Rishalt, Book 2 of Taxyon Space. The story begins on the submarine Galileo Station on Jupiter’s moon, Europa, shortly after the end of Book 1.
Rishalt, Book 2 of Taxyon Space
Draft BlurbThe aliens’ strange sphere has appeared in the ocean outside the submarine station.  You can read last week’s snippet here – https://auroraspringer.blogspot.com/2018/02/attack-or-friendly-visit-snippet-from.htmlFinal line: Director Foster said, “Major Tarlick is correct. We ought to meet them in their own element as a neighborly gesture.”After debating whether it is hostile or not, Nikki, Al and Astrid swim out to the sphere.  
Note: I’ve skipped a few paragraphs and abused semicolons to fit into 8-10 sentences
A hundred meters ahead, the great sphere glistened beyond the extreme end of the Greenery, their hydroponic garden. She sped up, eager to reach her destination; halting a couple of paces in front of the membrane, she rotated upright and waited for the others. Al jerked his chin at the sphere, his gruff voice rumbled in the mike, “Open the hatch, Nikki.” She walked forward and touched her finger to the iridescent surface. A dimple formed, widening as she pushed. Spreading her fingers apart as if she were drawing aside a curtain, she stepped into the sphere. Two faint plops in the rear announced the entrance of her friends, and she heard Astrid’s indrawn breath of excitement. An array of green-skinned men in white or brown tunics stared back at them. Nikki scanned their faces in a rapid glance, recognizing the men she had seen in their base. White-robed Triarch Webale stood in the middle of two triads - three men with the bicolored hair of the Gold Band Triad and three blue-haired men with blue star tattoos. None had red hair; Kiron was missing.
