"I'll see what I can do" Stryker called back over his shoulder to Tibulus' request for cards. He ran into Grayson just outside the door separating the Docking Bay from the rest of the common area.

"Don't forget, we're shippin' out in 2 hours" the Captain muttered to his quartermaster as the pair walked down the docking tube to the station proper.
"Aye mate, I'll be back in a jiff, just need ta grab some components from an old contact" he replied as he turned left and disappeared into the crowds.

Stryker carried on ahead to the marketplace a few steps away from the main docking annex. A short, balding and tattooed man stepped out from a shop labelled as "Datcho's" and met him halfway. A young woman leaned against the wall and a large dark skinned fellow stood not far off, taking it all in. The short guy stretched out a hand.
"Adachi Wren" he said "That guy's Julius Brein, he was born without a sense of humor, so no funny stuff ok Cap'n Stryker? And this here's Taleste. I'd keep an eye on your valuables from here on out buddy-boy, she's got a case of the sticky fingers, know what I mean?"
Stryker ignored the small man's derogatory comments and addressed the new recruit directly.

"Call me Stryker" He said, extending a hand "Got everything you need?"
