The guards allowed Natalia to enter the office, just as a group of people were coming to the same place.  Natalia recognized two of them; the woman and the Noxaara.  They seemed to be moving with a sense of purpose, and she could tell all of them had some military experience.  The Noxaara immediately began to converse with her in a friendly tone.

"Hello; it would appear we have the same destination and intentions."

Natalia shrugged at that.  "Destination, sure.  Intentions, maybe.  I guess we'll find out soon enough," she said, entering the office.  

She was immediately greeted by the director, a tired, but not unfriendly look on his face.  No doubt this business with the UWG ship was taxing his time and patience.  She got straight to the point, subconsciously assuming a relaxed form of parade rest.  "Good afternoon, director, my name is Natalia Aprilia.  To be honest with you, I'm at a bit of a loss right now, and could use some help.  I hadn't intended to come here; I was set up by the owner of the freighter I had bought transport on.  He tried to sell me out to some crime lord and apparently this system was their rendezvous.  My interceptor is pretty badly damaged and I could use some repairs.  I have money, but I'm all but certain it won't be enough to cover all of the repairs."

She paused for a moment.  "Naturally, I'll work for recompense, and you can use me and my ship as an asset.  I know that's not saying much; it's an interceptor with very little cargo space, but I'll do what I can."
