The Blue Lion

[SpaceTime]

Miranda was sitting near a corner of the almost empty bar, silently drinking some cheap whiskey. She had just finished an escort duty and she was extremely tired and hoped this drink would help get her some sleep. After her work in Cryer she was suspicious of sleeping pills, in fact of all pills in general. She wouldn't take them if she could do otherwise.

She closed her eyes trying to forget what happened a few hours ago. Her convoy was attacked and one escort was killed before the pirate gang was forced to retreat. She didn't know that ExSec pilot in person but they had worked two or three again in the past. She didn't know which pirate gang was that too. The adrenaline was still in her blood along with some sadness and fury.

Then she saw the Kusarian walk into the quiet bar. Intimidating posture but sexy frame, Miranda noticed, before she finally recognized the Kusarian's attire from her old BAF classes. That was a Kusari Imperial officer uniform. What the hell was she doing here?!

- I didn't know His late Majesty's officers preferred Bretonian alcohol over their own! she didn't need to raise her voice to say that, her slightly teasing words already broke the sleeping silence of the bar.
