Lyra was weightless for only a second when she bit cold the duracrete without a hint of grace. Moments earlier she had been arguing with the pilot about the terms of their agreement. She mentally kicked herself for paying all up-front, now he did not care if she got to where she wanted to be.
"Your stop is here kid!" grunted the squid-faced pilot from the ramp.
"You stupid sonova-!" Lyra had jumped back to her feet, nose bloodied and now a blaster pointed at her, "We had a deal!" she shouted with disdain and folded her arms in the best defiance she could muster without losing her life over it. His copilot walked out onto the ramp and threw out her bag, making sure to throw it behind the red-headed human to deter her from coming back onboard when they turned their backs. She stood her ground for a second longer before stomping over to her back. The ramp retracted and the ship was soon accelerating into the atmosphere, leaving one less passenger behind. Lyra through her bag down in frustration before scooping it back up dramatically.
She headed into the port city with a sleeve to her nose to make it stop bleeding. She was still no where the core and she had given up most of the credits she had to get her ride to there. Now she was here...wherever here was.
