Flip will be another of my platoon leaders.
I'll be waiting for you on Ganymede. The moons of Jupiter are going to be
our home for quite a while, Rip. Our first assignment is to explore
Callisto from pole to pole."
Rip didn't know what to say. To serve under Barris, to have his own men
in a regular squadron platoon, to have Flip Villa in the same outfit,
and to be assigned to exploration duty--dirtiest but most exciting of all
Planeteer jobs--was just too much. He couldn't say anything. He could
only grin.
Maj. Joe Barris looked at Rip's shiny head and chuckled. "From what I
hear of Callisto, we're in for a rough time. Your hair will probably
grow back just in time to turn gray!"
