Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Another one? Bummer. Really thought I'd have a day off." Her silver eyes lowered at the static screen. With a sigh, the small tomboy spun around in her chair and admired her creation once more. The chrome interior, the leather seats, the home-made black matter engine; everything was designed and built by her. It was rare to find a human roaming the galaxy, let alone a human woman. That same human women built her own ship and made her living by repairing the ships of others.

Cassiopeia Cressida. That's the name on her ship's registration. That's the only way you would know that she was alive. No bank account. No ID. Nothing. She only took cash. Of course, she never went by her birth name. To the universe, she was CC.

CC double-checked the holographic monitors. Low black matter levels. Great.

"Checking for the nearest Black Matter Dispensary." CC announced to the ship's control panel. CC scanned the neon text that popped up on the dashboard. "One jump away. Not bad." CC accelerated the ship through the empty cosmos.




CC

The black matter dispensary was designed almost like one of Earth's gas stations; black matter was dispensed by tiny tubes connecting to the ship, while excess black matter was stored in the adjacent building. As CC began to lower the sturdy ship into the dispensary, she could almost spot a ship hastily exiting. Before landing, she noticed the blaring lights and alarms emitting from the station.

"What the...no way..." CC squinted her eyes. It became clear that she had been witnessing a robbery. She paused for a brief moment, allowing the shift to float into autopilot.

"Don't be afraid!"

Her mother's words echoed throughout her mind. With a smirk, she pulled at the ignition and began to trail after the culprit.
