Can't make headway in your writing? leave it behind and go for a drive. Listen to the radio and just be on the road.

 Asgard Base, Callisto

Neptune was waiting.  Knowing this tested Captain Celia Grey’s patience.  Sitting through this briefing by the Admiralty was low on her list of things to do.   However, it would be unwise to let her impatience be seen in this situation.  Admirals disliked it when their officers expressed displeasure with their briefings.  Even when the briefing could have been a communiqu
