Chapter 3: Back on Board

 

I got a better look at the girl who just became my new crewmember. Jade Matahari isn't an overly tall girl. She looks about 15. Her hair is long, dark and very straight, if not a bit messy. I am going to have to get her better clothes though. She looks like a reject from mercenary camp with her billowy camouflage pant tucked into calf high military style boots. The ratty plaid shirt over her tank top has just got to go too. I expect my crew members to dress a bit better.

 

“So… whatcha got planned for me?”

“As I said earlier I could use someone with your skills around my ship.”

“Oh so you like do lots of illegal stuff?”

“”Who said anything about illegal stuff? I run cargo fro paying customers. It's completely legitimate. I need an extra hand around the ship that's all. As for your pick pocketing; stealing money is not what I had in mind. I will not tolerate you stealing on my ship. Do you understand.”

“Yeah; so what are you going to have me do.”

“You'll find out soon enough.”

 

Back at the ship on dock

 

“Hey! You're back Garnet! I'm sorry I didn't' make it to the restaurant.”

“That's okay Jet. I brought you meal though.”

“Cool, I'm starved. Say… who's that”

“Ah, this is Jade Matahari, our new hand. Watch your pockets from now on.”

“Hey, that's not nice to say about me!”

“Now, now I was only kidding. I don't want my crew members stealing from each other. Jade, this is Jet Magdelin, my computer expert and I guess you could say my first mate too.”

“Jet, why don't you show Jade to a room. I'm meeting some here for our next cargo.”

“Sure Garnet. Come on Jade.”
