A fast paced dream

Chapter 4 - A new lifestyle

The so called districts would become her new home. Future was uncertain when its way didn't have a logical conclusion. Where would she end up at? Wandering about the several places these districts had to offer, it didn't take the young woman long to feel bored, even unsure about all this. Would she ever get the spot she applied for? After all, the girl never graduated from school, nor did she had anything else to come with but her personal experience. Time felt like a stone that would slowly be pushed off the cliffs.

After several felt hours, it eventually happened. Someone contacted her. It wasn't all the personal way but it looked promising, at least on her PDA. Someone named Madison. He said he, as a captain of a certain frigate, went through the database of the so called Orbitals and found a new, rather interesting entry there, that had been made shortly. It was almost perplexing that one person, the girl never met, would be interested that much in her 'services'. Realizing she was being modest about herself again, as so many times before when confidence was out of her reach, the young woman shrugged off the questions in her head and replied instead. After all, it was the closest chance to grasp at the moment being...

The meeting would be on the frigate itself. She was familiar with that kind of vessel. The Junkers would still use them, as it probably was the backbone of their scrap-working fleet. The girl would find the ship in orbit of New London, not far to go, nearby Thames. It didn't even need one call from herself as the Salvager contacted the ship marked as Light Runner when launching from the space city. A somewhat exciting moment for the young woman. Hopefully everything would go alright once aboard. The introduction of herself was probably the part she was most afraid of, but after all, she made it that far already. Fingers crossed, she initiated the mooring procedure, closing in to a dream she could not think of to become true, to be part of something significant, even if only in favor of a trusted crew and business. Rochester never would be as good, she hoped.
