A month ago was the last day to pay the loan. Alexis was on the run ever since. She knew very well what happened to those that didn't pay. Hiding while also being on a job was an ability she learned from her military days but back then she wasn't flying in a grave ship. It was one of the first models ever created without a sentient AI to run it. In other words, a piece of flying trash with a human on board. Most of the money she gained in the first weeks were to upgrade the ships AI with maps and other small but nevertheless necessary upgrades.

At the moment, Alexis was taking a nap when an alarm came to life making a noice which could wake the dead. 

"[Color=silver] I'm awake, I'm awake. Alarm stop. JV, what the hell happened this? [/color] " said Alexis in a load voice. Her voice was rough and she was still a bit hungover since last night.
JV, the AI on the ship couldn't be named sentient even by the most hopeful person. It was a mere forgery or copy of an intelligence, knowing only what the pilot of the ship allowed it to know. 
"[Color=green] Pilot, low fuel alert. Low fuel alert. [/color]" came from the speakers on the walls. A metallic voice which Alexis always hated but couldn't find the right setting to the AI in order to change it.  

A string of swear words came out of Alexis's mouth that lasted a full minute. She fueled yesterday and now there is no more fuel which meant that the engineer at the space station 40 light years away conned her and didn't fix the fuel container. 
Alexis quickly pulled up the holographic display with the galactic map and spotted what was a very remote colony. One of those fringe colonies which usually stored three times of people. Criminals, refugees and the usual passersby. Without much choice, she decided to use last of her fuel to plot a course there. 

She didn't forget what brought her to this part of the galaxy either. A contract came in three weeks ago. Unusual was an understatement. 
1 million credits for the capture of a female. The only information provided was a picture which was a bit blurry and a message stating that they want her alive. A bounty this big didn't come without many, many strings attached. As her name was not provided, nor anything else, the contract was like searching a needle in a haystack. Only the difference is that the haystack was the galaxy. So, she flied in blind on all the space stations she could find and small colonies in the hopes of finding her first.

As the last dregs of fuel were consumed by the engine, she barely managed to reach colony. It was one of those "new age" ones too. Caxia-4 or that's what JV said. The ship hit the landing pad with a loud *thud* that made people around to turn their heads. A ship old as this wasn't something most of the people here saw, so, hopefully there was someone here that knew a thing or two about older models. If not, Alexis would be stuck here for a long time, if she was not found out first, of course.
