There it was.

The Shonan was silently floating in the ice field, looking almost like a regular large asteroid. The station had limited supplies, so it's inhabitants conserved any energy and resource they could. No active radio beacon to home in nearby ships. No bright guiding lights. Only the defense turrets and docking ports discerned it from nearby rocks.

It was barren in the inside as it was on the outside. Dim lights, smelly foggy air and cold temperature everywhere. Station provided limited comforts to its inhabitants, as most of them do not care about comforts at all.

Song Bird was in the station's cramped hangar, kneeling on a wing of her Marauder and fastening bolts on newly installed weapon systems. She was looking differently than before, as she had new clothes.
She had a red plaid shirt one her with black t-shirt under hit and blue jeans-like looking pants. Song Bird looked like a Liberty's low class citizen or an angry Dublin inhabitant at the first glance, as this was not clearly a something gallic woman would wear. However, at closer observation, her looks became more gallic, as all the details she had on herself revealed that to any experienced eyes. Style of her belt, shoes, wrist watch and accessories on her neck and hands were in tune with each other. She had a gallic grace in her, doesn't matter if she liked or not.

She fastened the last bolt and immediately performed checks with her diagnostic tools. New weapons were finally installed, even though it was nothing special. They were just civilian flashpoint lasers, weapons inferior to the previously installed nomad adapted blasters. But they were necessary for her new civilian identity.
When she decided that installed weapons are secure enough, she began dressing up in her new flight suit lying nearby and climbed into the ship's cockpit. After she fastened her seat belts, she began turning her ship on. Her fingers flipped over the various switches and buttons, and she thoroughly performed extra pre-flight checks to make sure all her weapons are connected to the correct powerlines.
When done, Song Bird requested departure clearance from the station's automated control and Marauder's azurite fueled turbine started screaming loudly. She left Shonan into the ice field, heading for the nearby Freeport 6.
In a safe distance from the Shonan - she flipped her IFF signal to the newly acquired Freelancer license. Ready to pickup her new transport ship when it's done. As for now - her new ID requires some history to be made.

As for now, her name is now Jeanette Navarre. The Songbird. The Vagrant.
