The woman seemed a bit irritated when Alexis came to her but that's normal in a way, she did make her to stop resting in what seemed her break. 
As the woman spoke, Alexis realized that she might've misunderstood the InfoBot about the engineer as the woman replied to her inquiry with humor. 

Alexis smiled, not that the engineer could see it but nevertheless and said "[color=silver] The fuel compartiment is damaged. Took a wrong turn a month ago and nearly crashed into a black hole. I already had it fixed but either I got conned or the damage was worse than I was told. Anyway, I'm loosing fuel and if I'm to leave this backwater slum, no disrespect intended, I've got to get it fixed. Also, fuel it. Make it a full tank. 
As for payment, I can pay you half of whatever you request for the scan and half after I'm sure you didn't conn me. Ok? [/color]"

She only had 1432 credits left but hopefully it was enough until the next contract. She then turned to walk towards her ship without waiting for the engineer to accept or not. Losing time was not someone Alexis enjoyed and waiting for a reply, usually meant that she had to wait too long. Before taking her first step, she said "[color=silver] Name's Alexis [/color]" and then started walking.
