(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ayYeLLT8bs)<br/><br/>The void twinkled faintly with stars and her lavender HUD as Etoile scrolled through bounty postings from the cockpit of her ship, body snug against her contoured pilot's chair.  Centra, the Galactic Police HQ, was the only nearby object.  Miles long with a wide mushroomed top and many spokes constantly flitting with traffic, it made for something of a distraction.  But it was also her gravy train.  Here the contracts flowed like water, and being closest to the signal meant first pick.<br/><br/>All the cops with heavy fire power floating around was also somewhat reassuring for a bounty hunter.  It wasn't a job that failed to make enemies, particularly of the criminal element.  Lucille had learned what criminals were capable young, working for the cartels to get by.  As the faces of fugitives and suspects flitted by with minor prices she thought she recognized some of them--at the very least the circumstances.  Young, dumb, and pawns for the rich and powerful that ran the sector.  C-Suite execs getting their cocks sucked by gynobot recreations of their daughters were probably profiteering off these systems the gangers died over in the streets.<br/><br/>But that was far from Lucille "Etoile" Sinclaire's here and now.  Her ship, her next job, her money.  Her zero credit balance.<br/><br/>That was important, given what was at stake between her and Facile...<br/><br/><em>Carca: Apprehend Drug Manufacturer</em><br/><br/>₡50,000!  The only catch was, she had to bring him in alive.<br/><br/>The navicomputer plotted the single jump course to the Panjati Varul system, throwing up a touristy 3d array of video feeds from all over the planet.  Lush jungle (https://pre00.deviantart.net/8831/th/pre/i/2014/102/1/4/jungle_world_by_syncup-d7e3yac.jpg), exotic wildlife (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JJnbMX_6iqQ/Vgnifbnsy0I/AAAAAAAAC5o/fZg4tqub4Kc/s1600/hunted-concept-creature-art-design-snake-alien-scifi-travis-lacey-conceptual.jpg), and lively (http://bakuland.net/wp-content/uploads/parser/sexy-club-clothing-7.jpg) beautiful (https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTBBsJ_rxLE6llDFk76GrtEabKiddNLSvk-JydeBGNslBnDvqHoqw) people having a fun time with particularly alert eyes.<br/><br/>Lit off their asses on Fuse, no doubt about it.  Once you saw someone with Fuse in their eye, you never forgot it.<br/><br/><strong>2 New Messages!</strong>blooped up in the corner of her ship's visor.  One from her boyfriend, the other from her rival Facile.  She'd have plenty of time to read both or neither mid-jump.<br/><br/>All she had to do was punch the<em>JUMP!</em>button, and she'd be on her way to another job.<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Etoile</div><div class="spoiler_body">Name: Lucille Sinclaire i.e. Bounty Huntress 'Etoile'<br/>Age: 23<br/><br/><strong>Perception: 4</strong> <br/>(fuse): 0<br/><br/>Piloting:  2<br/>Shooting:  3<br/>Hacking:  1<br/>Trapsense:  1<br/><br/><strong>Physique: 2</strong><br/>(alien seed): 0<br/><br/>Melee:  2<br/>Slutcraft/Sneak:  1<br/>Sex:  2<br/>Resistance:  2<br/><br/><strong>Charisma: 3</strong><br/>(corruption): 0<br/><br/>Diplomacy:  2<br/>Seduction:  3<br/>Bullshit:  1<br/>Willpower:  1<br/><br/>Shield: 2/2<br/>Suit: 4/4<br/><br/><strong>STARTER SHIP:</strong><br/><br/><strong>ISS Zephyr</strong><br/>Speed: 1<br/>Shields: 2/2<br/>Firepower: 1, +0</div></div>
