8-066: Merchant Freighter Spanial – Cargo Hold
Glancing at the Trade Bureau container, Lia can see the paint has run slightly on the logo and smeared, as if perhaps it wasn’t properly dried before being moved.
The Sub Officer looks at Karmen, who rolls her eyes and says, “We all have to start somewhere.”
Then to Lia, sternly, “We are going to have a conversation about suiting up even if the helmet does muss your hair before going dock-side.”
The Sub Officer nods sympathetically to Karmen, and then kicks at the cable leading to the container and asks casually, but while looking closely at Lia, “Trade Bureau must be paying well, if you can afford to run empty?”
Lia will look appropriately abashed at Karmen’s tone and reach up towards her hair before aborting the action in an embarrassed movement.
She shrugs ruefully.
“Not always. We take what we can. I haven’t really had a chance to stretch my skills yet.”
She’s back to eager.
“Gotta set up contacts, you know?”
