There were only so many hours to a day before a lady just wanted to steal the closest ship and jet outta there. But when you were flat broke, on shaky ground with local bigwigs, and hungry, a gal could just linger around spaceports looking for work. Sure, many others elbowed her outta the way, but surely there'd be some desperate rock-hopper gliding her way. She just hadta be patient.
But that was just it. She'd been stuck so long Coreside, she was willing to drop some dignity just to get on a ship, never mind even piloting it herself. But that meant pulling over a sucker, or doing odd jobs.
Dressed as any other grease monkey, she sighed, trying to rub away the hunger that gnawed in the pit of her stomach. She honestly couldn't even remember the last time she ate anything palatable. But perhaps she could scrounge up somethin' later on. Eyes panned the sky, looking out for any ships on her pad. She scrapped for it, after all, the next sucker landing on here was hers.
