I had been awake for what felt like days, and I knew that my commander would not be happy about me being awake for such a long period. I was expected to be on the first patrol tomorrow, but my recent excursion to Kusari space when my father got ill made me really rusty, there was no way I would be prepaired for the things to come. Bounty Hunters, Mercenaries, Corsairs, I wasn't up to snuff enough. But no matter how much I complained, he informed me that I didn't have to go home and see him, and that I could have sent him my well wishes.

How kind.

I shrugged it off and tried to go back to sleep but all I heard was my door buzzer.

"Go away!" I screamed but the person kept on buzzing.

I stormed over to the door wrapping the sheet around my half-naked body and ripped it open to see my commander standing there. The look on his face was priceless.

"Hey Shan..." he said.

"What do you want sir, I'm trying to get sleep like I was ordered to."

"I know, but we need your expertise on this fighter that came in kind of rough, I don't know anyone else who is experenced enough to repair it. Do it as a favor for me?"

"Fine, let me get dressed and I'll meet you on the pad."

I slammed the door and started to look around for my clothes.
