Simone walked onto Boa Vista station through the airlock of the Archon. Turning back she saw how the mighty typhoon class vessel got further from the station and saw the jump engines powering up. Hopefully she can give the signal to pick her up in a few hours. But until that moment she had a little business. Walking down to the coalition part of the station she greeted the usual assistant sitting at her desk in the main lobby. She was sipping coffee from a little red cup and pointed at a man waiting.
-Could you get one for me as well, I think this will be longer than I expected.
The assistant nodded at Simone.
-Hey, you there! I can't see any burns on your pretty face. Follow me, NOW!
She didn't care to look at him again or wait for any response, she walked into the first free office room to the right.
In the room, there was a big table, two chairs in front of it and one behind. On the wall there was a huge banner of the coalition, while to side some paper-racks. Above them a young, heroic man's face.
-So, who are you? What do you want? How do you want to reach it? Why do you want to reach it? You know... The usual questions. I want to know something about you, before I throw you out the airlock. No EV suits are guaranteed.
