Junebug snorted and shucked the polymer wrapping off the candy. It had a faint holographic diffaction grating which made it shimmer in what she suspected was intended to be a pleasant fashion but it reminded her too my of Tznau flies on Campesee and she flicked it away irritable before popping the candy in her mouth. It was a pleasant mix of sweet and sour although and she allowed herself to enjoy it for a moment. "Well stud," she said around a mouthful of chocolate, her tone injecting derision into her voice even as she chewed. "I had hoped to hire on a pilot who wouldn't blast into space the first chance he got without so much as checking the atmo seals." She pulled the cap of a bottle of mineralized water and drank it down, washing away the last of the dust and heat of Hodierna with unfeigned pleasure. With a negligent gesture she crumpled the bottle and tossed it into one of the open trash chutes which presumable led to either a collection or a recycling point. "I assure you Capt'm that everything be shipshape." Goddess's bleeding matyrs was that a Scottish accent. She cast a wrathful eye at the innocent faced Neil. "Booster, refrain from interjecting into personal conversation," she said, eyes fixed on one of the speakers built into the wall. "Aye Capt'm." "The fuck," Junebug muttered shaking her head. She didn't dislike AI's exactly but she didn't trust them either. Most of her associations with them were cowering in a vehicle fighting compartment or in a fox hole while computer aimed plasma weapons swept enemy artillery from the sky with short precise bursts. Or not of course. The bomber will always get through. She pushed the sour thought aside and went on. "After that, well I know some people on Thaler who can get me a few cargoes on spec. Refurbished millitary hardware mostly, guns sure, but sensors and consoles and the like. I figure that with the Cho-Lan and the Kaphur's going at it so hard in the Eastern Marches there is probably good money to be made." She eyed the pilot up and down, dark eyes measuring him. He really didn't strike her as a gunman, though he had handled that ARC like as though he at least knew which end was witch. "Do you have much experience with bounty hunting?" [@POOHEAD189]
