((I want to try and make this a bit light-hearted, all the others I've been on are sort of darkish....but if it goes that way I'm cool. This is set on the Space-City (a ship that's a city in space and doesn't really have a destination and is pretty self-sufficient) Remus which is the capital of the Delta sector of the Monster Galaxy. No need to worry about character profiles or anything, we'll make it up as we go.))
The Captain of the space-city Remus walked towards the window. It had been an interesting day, starting with the lavatory malfunction.
Every morning at 0500 hours the city's waste product was flitered. What could be used to fertilise the farm sector was kept, and the rest was ejected. Unfortunately, the Repair squad had forgotten to inform everyone that they were testing the escape function of the city (which allowed the city to be piloted like a normal spacecraft for a limited amount of time). While the waste was ejected, the Repair squad hit the reverse function. Waste all over the ship.
So much for the cleanest city award.
Janet, her name was, she'd been captain for only 3 months. She'd taken over when the previous captain was arrested for assault and dealings with pirates. Pirates swarmed the Monster Galaxy, preying on cargo ships and sometimes attacking planets and cities. Space-cities were at more risk, as they had no exterior atmosphere once the shields went down to make landing difficult.
Janet had once chased pirates down. She had been the best at it, until her retirement at the age of 40. How she longed to chase pirates again....
((Enjoy))
