This is an overdue follow-up but someone remarked to me about your story that they really wanted to know "what happened next." That's my opinion too. Sounds like you have a market for a longer treatment of that story, maybe moving the focus to the 2 women on the space ship. A novella, perhaps? 20 to 40k in length? I bet your publisher would publish it, if you don't do it yourself. There's a really big market for novella-length tales these days. :)
Thanks for the follow up wylde. I'll give this some thought. Would you think that it would be more interesting to continue following the 2 women, or to do a jump between the two and have them called back for an "on-site" inquest to determine final fate? The reason I ask is that the end of the short story does open a door into an interesting universe, but a lot of the interest in the story itself, too me anyway, was due to the setting of the planet.

I think what you describe would work really well. The story as stands could be the first part of the novella. Then, the women in space is story mid-point (gives more context and motivation for what they were up to on the planet, then circle back to planet and Josef is last 1/3 and conclusion. Or climax (ahem). :D
