M Country     6th floor of the G/F, NCSA Headquarters Building

Although it is 10 a.m. and the standard working hours are standard, only the lights are on in an office at the end of the corridor.

With the help of dim lights, you can see the sign "Search Office for Lost Involved Items in Space" hanging on the wall. The bottom of the sign was also marked with a crooked smiley face.

The sound of "bang...bang...bang..." came from the half-closed door.

A blond and unshaven man was throwing the elastic ball towards the dart board on the wall with all his energy.

He is the "waiter" Angela McCann.

Of course, the title "Waiter" is just his self-proclaimed nickname. His real position is "Director of the Office for Searching for Lost Intermodals in Space", which governs the spacecraft and detectors that have lost contact in the universe in the whole country.

As a space power, M country spends a huge amount of money to launch several space probes every year in order to explore neighbors in the solar system. Some of them may lose contact with the ground command center due to failure or energy exhaustion.

Every detector that loses contact means huge scientific research investment is wasted, so NCSA will do its best to use various means to strive to restore the contact with the detector.

When such efforts fail, these detectors will be classified as the office of the Space Lost Object Search on the sixth floor underground.

Then, quietly look forward to the arrival of a miracle.

Unfortunately, this miracle has never happened since the establishment of the Space Lost Item Search Office.

In this case, the "Space Lost Item Search Office" has also become the most dispensable department in the NCSA, and every time the budget is reduced, it will start with it.

The size of the office also shrank year by year. Until Angela McCann became director, he found that he was the only one left in the entire office.

But Angela McCann didn't care about all this. He even came to work at 9 a.m. every day, he went to work at 9 a.m., took two hours off at noon, and then clocked in and got off work on time at 5:30 p.m., and then waited for a generous salary.

Of course, what he called his job was to stare at dozens of red indicator lights on the wall. Each indicator light represented a missing space explorer. When the red indicator light lit up, it means that the missing space probe was back online. All he had to do was pick up the red phone on the desktop.

Unfortunately, this situation has never happened, so he naturally cannot perform his duties.

So Angela McCann's real work became to use a portable notebook to watch "SpongeBob SquarePants". When she was tired of watching, she played elastic ball training. When she was tired of training, she watched "SpongeBob SquarePants" again... until she got off work.

His feel seemed to be great today, and the elastic ball has hit the red dot area five times in a row.

"Maybe after work, I should go to the small bar on Fifth Street to perform at the waitress. The last time she drank, she looked at me with a different look..." Angela McCann became more and more excited as she thought about it, and picked up the elastic ball and threw it at the dart board again.

"Ba...ba...ba..."

....

“Ula…Ula…Ula…Ula…”

Angela McCann, who has always been very attentive to do things, seemed to feel a roaring alarm sound in his ears. He put away the ball of elasticity and slowly followed the sound.

A red indicator light on the wall was flashing brightly and darkly.

This is?

He was stunned for a moment.

oh,my    god!

This is the missing space probe is back online!

The good vocational training of ncsa made Angela McCann understand instantly. He rushed to the desk and picked up the dusty red phone.

There is no need to dial, because this phone can only call one number.

"Dou...Dou...Dou..."

Perhaps the person on the other side of the phone was also a little confused and the phone was not answered immediately.

Just as Angela McCann was about to hang up the phone.

"hello?" A surprised voice came across the phone.

"hello....This is the office for missing objects looking for...I'm Angela McCann."

"I have an emergency report!"

Angela McCann had never made such a call, and was somewhat incoherent.

"Emergency?" The opposite of the phone seemed even more confused.

"Yes, emergency." Angela McCann tried to calm her emotions, "There was a light on the wall, and it...it was on!"

"What indicator light?" There seems to be no idea what the indicator light means across the phone.

"According to the manual, each indicator light represents a missing space explorer, and it is this indicator light!"

"It's bright!" Angela McCann finally couldn't help it and shouted at the phone.

“oh,my    god!”

"I will notify Director Jim immediately, you can guard there first!" The opposite side of the phone finally woke up.

Hang up the phone and Angela McCann was in trouble when she looked at the flashing indicator lights on the wall.

How to keep it well?

After thinking for a while, he held the elastic ball in his hand and squatted on the ground in a uncomfortable position.

Fortunately, this posture does not need to last too long.

There was a sound of footsteps in the corridor.

Director Jim walked into the office surrounded by a group of NCSA engineers.

Engineers began to check the flashing indicator light, and Director Jim came to Angela McCann, who asked with a smile: "When did you find the indicator light on?"

"Can you tell anyone?"

Angela McCann was shocked and excited. This is the big man of NCSA, and he is so kind.

He replied truthfully: "My eyes were staring at the indicator lights on the wall, and suddenly one of them began to flash."

"At this time, I remembered the standard process specified in the manual, and immediately picked up the red phone and reported the situation to the above. I didn't tell anyone else."

At this time, the engineer in charge of the inspection seemed to have obtained the result. One of them came to Director Jim's ear and whispered a few words. Director Jim's eyes trembled slightly, patted Angela McCann on the shoulder, and said with a smile:

"You are a good employee, and NCSA is proud to have an excellent employee like you."

"The bureau will not bury any talent. Yesterday I promoted you to deputy director of the Rockets Design Department."

As he said that, he switched to a strange tone: "I wonder if you received the notification?"

Angela McCann was completely confused. The design department is the core department of NCSA, and the deputy director is even less than one person and more than ten people. This is a great news.

But he didn't seem to have received any notification?

What's going on?

He said in confusion: "It seems that there is no..."

"No?" Director Jim's face looked ugly, staring at him and asked again: "Did you always look at SpongeBob SquarePants and forget?"

The director actually knew about SpongeBob SquarePants? But why did he promote himself?

Angela McCann was not a stupid person. He moved his heart and looked around. Sure enough, the people brought by the director looked at him with a smile.

He instantly understood everything: "Yes...I forgot that I received a notice from the Human Resources Department yesterday. Look at my memory."

"Hahaha!"

Director Jim patted his shoulder again, "I wish you a bright future in your new position."

Angela McCann nodded repeatedly to thank him, "I will definitely work hard for NCSA in my new position."

Director Jim's face suddenly turned serious: "Then why don't you go back to the design department yet?"
Chapter completed!
