"Thanks Teg," The captain replied. Since their passenger was on board, that meant they could get going as soon as they finished loading the cargo. Maria went to grab another box, listening to the others chatter as she picked one up and hauled it onto the ship. She looked up when Kevej approached and informed her of the goods he'd gotten, nodding in approval, and then let him finish as he joined in the conversation about their guest. 

"Our esteemed first mate is right. Long as you haven't done nothing against his government, he's got no reason to bother you. Besides, I don't pay you to whine about passengers, I pay you to fly. Get up to the bridge and get the ship ready for takeoff so we can get off this blasted trash-heap," Maria said to Andrea. She then turned to Ansgar. "No offense. I know you call this place home but..." 

She didn't finish her sentence. 

When they were done loading up the cargo, Maria made sure everyone was on the ship and closed the ramp, depressurizing the airlock to ready them for leaving The Hub.
