I used to be an executive with United Free Trade Planets, but recently I'm the co-owner of a freighter class ship and I manage its crew, which does contract work.

[they are space mercenaries, basically.]

[sexyasmieu]

Huh... Was it anything like this ship?

[bossbabygirl]

Not really. Much smaller, much older, fewer accommodations. We can man it with six people.

[sexyasmieu]

But you traveled in space?

[bossbabygirl]

I'm learning that's unusual for most of you. I haven't lived planetside since I was in school.

[sexyasmieu]

That's amazing! It must be really expensive to run a spaceship...

[bossbabygirl]

It's not a large ship, but...yes. They tend to get damaged.

[sexyasmieu]

Really? By what?

[ is this ship going to get damaged, too.... ]

[bossbabygirl]

Bombardments from other ships, mostly? The occasional really beefed up droid.

[i mean they have not one but two military personnel so it seems possible.]

[sexyasmieu]

You mean you get into space-battles with other ships!? That's really a thing!?

[bossbabygirl]

Generally we try not to get into space battles with other ships. We only recently updated our shields, but they haven't been the best. But it happens.

[sexyasmieu]

Yikes... I hope it doesn't happen to us here.

I mean, it sounds like we have defenses and all, but most of us here wouldn't know what to do in an emergency...

[bossbabygirl]

What makes you say that?

[this seems like a somewhat decently prepared group to her.]

[sexyasmieu]

I mean, a whole bunch of us have never been on a spacecraft before, and we're not exactly a cohesive group... y'know?

[bossbabygirl]

I don't know that not being on a spacecraft is all that detrimental. Spacecraft knowledge can be learned and cohesion can be gained. Don't write us off just yet.

[sexyasmieu]

Whoa! You're really optimistic.

[bossbabygirl]

Sure. I wouldn't call it optimism, though. I just think a disparate bunch of people with their own sets of skills can be a pretty powerful asset as long as there's some coordination.

[sexyasmieu]

Speaking from experience?

[bossbabygirl]

You could say that, sure.
