The story of a junker

[FynnMcScrap]

>> in the small office with his Name on the doorsign FynnMcScrap shook hands with the newest Member of the Haven Crews<<

Well, Mr Vasile, well met again. Glad you found your way here and glad that you seem unscathed.

>> He winked and pointedly ignored the scratches on the others knuckles<<

Fine that you managed to bring your Sally, and after all my Crewmates and the first Mate at the Dock says you all seem ready to join us. Don´t worry about yor Girl. Mathilde, is it ?
There are quite a few women on board this station, and even if I do not ebncourage them to work on the Salvagers because of the radioactivity in the clouds they are hardworking and valuable members of the Haven community.
And if she shows interest or ability perhaps she could join Doc Nagger and the Clinic Staff ? We will start training nurses and paramedics as soon as the Clinic is opened, after all.

>> The deeply lines face of the young Junker Foreman turnes earnest , looking directly into Grigorias eyes<<

I hope there will be no guns knocking on the Havens shields because of some unfinished buisness ? We will defend any of ours, but we do not cherish violence. No ? Good.

>> now the smile turns warm and welcoming again <<

Get a bunk , and be quick about it. As Skipper of a Salvager you will have a small working office with a equally compact living space next to it, like mine here. Not much for a joung couple, but better than the 6-men rooms the crewnem have, eh ?
I suggest that you make a landfall down to Houston first thing tomorrow morning and get yourselfe and your joung bride a bungalow, I will notify Mr. Tukker at our planetside Office and he will show you where we have rented living Space at Jacinto City.
Even your Men can find good accomodation there if they want to, after all not all of them prefer to live in the brothels T&T supports planetside. There are quite a lot of joung families using our housing Project for a good start, you two will fit right in. And if you need something, just ask.

Relax, get set and find your space. You and your crew will have enough time to check in, get set and find some rest before we expect you to take a full 2-week shift in the rotating Crew rooster. 2 weeks shift, 1 week landfall. A second week landfall available after clearance with the dock Mate. Nobody has seriously complained so far.

>> Fynn nods and turns back to his desk <<

Look around, ask if you have questions. And next month if all is well, you and your Crew will be full members at the Haven, with your senior member status enabling you to vote with the rest if any discussions arrise.

>>Fynn looks up once more and smiles<<

We are family, Grigorias. Not only the men and whomen working the Salvagers. All here at the Haven, bearing Freelancer or Junker papers. We are all Tinkers. So... welcome home.
