The woman took a quick look at the lounge before staring at Hisashi.
"Let's get things plain, if you allow me. I'm not going to help you double cross the Naval Forces or the State Police. I may be seen as a Wild element for reasons too long too enumerate, but this is plainly not something I will do."

She then grinned.
"Perhaps you will find some use working with me though."
The woman made a subtle gesture with her right hand.
"About my past, I am of noble decent, but I got disowned after I left New Tokyo to enlist in the Naval Forces. It was in the middle of Seto war and I was soon enough sent to Leeds system. Learned a lot there. Lost a lot as well."
Junko paused, making some steps around as to observe the fake scenery displayed by the screened walls. Refusing with a gesture of her hand a barman invite to get the beverage of her choice, she went on :
"I was severely injured following an ambush in one of the smog clouds. Ended up being repatriated to Kyushu system. Spent several months recovering in an hospital before getting back to service. This time for the new Republic; several years as a Commander.

The woman faintly smiled.
"Believe it or not, these were the happiest times. What followed was turmoil and the end of dreams. I had to leave House Kusari for while. Ended up working for Border-world Exports as a member of their security division. Made myself a name but I couldn't stay put. I left the corporation and somehow gained the trust of the Gaian Guard. worked for them quite a bit, until it all went wrong. Now I do part time business with the Forlorn Hope, as you noticed. They have their use and can be trusted to some extent..."

She shrugged before glancing at Megumi, who was currently patiently listening, even though this must have been a pretty boring as hell thing to do.
"I run a special deliveries business that gets me some income, but it's not enough. Several toys are gathering dust in the Omegas. You wouldn't believe the price Freeport One's hangar fees are at currently."
