Anxi pivoted in her seat, the pilots seat with a cute smile on her face as she hummed a tune she'd heard partying last night among the other grounded pilots her slender digits delicately taping in the commands. Her reason for request the common free trader reason, Cargo Speculation. In the fleet she'd seen 1,000s of these and knew by research that up to 27% were for nefarious reasons but unless the Pig wasn't paying off the Navy brass they only had to worry about stumbling into a random patrol or overzealous law enforcement & customs ship. Sure he was slime but he was rich dangerous slime and in her knowledge of the creature smart and the only ones that worked for him that had to worry about him were the foolish, unlucky, or worse and where the dark stories come from the greedy. [h3]Kharak Town spaceport, Kharak Town spaceport[/h3] says a slender panther boy his sleek fur as black as night making her job so easy. Most requests are very Bureaucratic an dull but by the time she'd signed off Anxi had the young man purring an looking forward to helping her personally with the landing papers of the ship then treating her to a top flight meal an drinks if she could get the time. Finished she assumed a very unconventional position in her lovely chair her long legs over the top her head hanging off the seat as she began a pilots check list. She loved the Dauntless because as her pilot she was Dee's true master the others that knew how to ...fly not even close to her. Sure she was cocky about her skills but it wasn't bragging when you can back it up. Dee was such a simple ship but she was a tough little thing so her check list a short one. Anxi knew as any pilot knew the secret to survival in combat is simplicity, complex ships were nice till something broke an the redundancies failed. "The more complicated the Plumbing the easier it is to stop up the drain" said some great engineer an a moto any experienced pilot shared. That made her think of the other person aboard she should begin a friendship with the shy girl Karma, maybe she could coax her to her quarters for tea maybe goodies goddess knew she had enough goodies from admirers. That thought made Anxi flip over in her seat an sit upright [@Expendable][hider=Engneering Karma from Pilot Anxi]Hi hi Karma consider this as informal contact In fleet I always liked to chat with those who knew the ship physically because it helps me understand the ship's limits an list of injuries. I love Dee an need to understand as you do her woes an advantages because we go in harm's way and the better I understand the better her chances of surviving an by extension everyone aboard. So long com long Can we meet either in engineering or either of our quarters, in mine is several types of tea and goodies from several lovers or hopefuls I need to dwindle.[/hider] [h3]Please respond[/h3]
