Jin-lai was glad to be aboard the St. Anne.  She had spent more than enough time on Kohlberg Station and given the strong presence of the syndicate with whom she had had a strong disagreement, she had  no desire to settle down on the planet .<br/><br/>She had hired on just a day earlier, and needed to pick up the remainder of the ships foodstuffs.  Her first task on board  - that is - after checking out with the basic ships systems and safety fear - had been a full Physical and Functional audit of the galley,  both the inventory and systems.  The previous cook had been lax at best, more than likely criminal.  The next thing was to clean.  She  was fastidious to the point of being obsessive but her implant would give her promptings when she got overbearing about it - thanks to her parents, she thought to herself, rolling her yes.<br/><br/>She needed to make it on board the Annie before it left, but her outfit had a smudge.  That would not do for on station, she had no wish to present a slovenly appearance. So the slender woman grabbed  a fresh uniform  She quickly changed, running through the ship half dressed and hopping into her outfit  along the way, not shy about who saw her lithe frame.<br/><br/>Sure she could have finished the transactions remotely, but she wanted to touch  and smell the foodstuffs they took on, as she had the earlier food load-in that she oversaw.  Some of it she  had turned down, especially the eel, which was rotting near the gills. Protein was protein but eel ws hard to cook in any palatable way to begin with.  She suspected the previous  cook had gotten some sort of kickback to accept nasty food like that, the vendor had not looked happy when she had declined to accept it earlier back on station.<br/><br/>So now she needed some new protein to replace that. She had heard the price of lamb had recently gone down, but so far no one aboard had seemed enthusiastic about the  idea  of lamb.  In fact they looked at her as if  she had a third eye.  '<i>Odd</i>' ,she has earlier thought to herself '<i>I wonder, what do they have against lamb</i>?'<br/><br/><br/>Jin made it before the  shuttle departed and was just buttoning her last few buttons on her crisp uniform blouse as she boarded .  She quietly smiled to everyone aboard offering no explanation as to why she had been half undressed , and she looked for a place to sit.  She figured she was probably the  smallest one on board so she could fit anywhere , if need be.
