Shanti takes a good look at the picture. The girl is sullen looking, dark hair in strands around the face. She stares dully into the camera, and something tugs at Shanti's memories.
She knows that look. It is the look of someone who has lost hope. Someone who has been broken down, and stripped into pieces.
Shanti holds her ribs as she lowers herself into a chair. She doesn't look at the others as she says in a low voice, "I say, if she wanted to be free so badly, then she deserves to be. Rewards are only worth what the heart values."

Darren looked at the picture, taking a sip of coffee as he did so.
"Guy musta had a good reason ta be breakin' out his sister. Don't reckon I'd be one for turnin' them in though." Darren replied as he passed the pic to Dr. Laup Nagap.

"What inspired you to shoot Badger in the foot"
Pressing the com "Puro this is the captain check for a course to Selena"

"Gotta be something to it," Banner says around the everlasting cigar. "Always a catch to easy-seeming jobs like this." Studying the picture thoughtfully, Banner says, "Boy looks kinda familiar."

"We're good ta go Cap'n." was Darren's response to the Captain's question, as Banner continued to look at the picture.
"Good lets get off this dirtball of a planet then." Captain Faolin said to Darren as he headed for the bridge.

Looking at the young girl, Banner feels a strange twinge in the pit of his stomach. She seems so...wrecked. He'd seen that same dead look before, in the eyes of children even younger than the picture girl.

Shanti follows the Captain to the bridge. "Captain, pardon my saying, but WHY DID YOU SHOOT BADGER? We don't have too many friends on Persephone, and now we have one less!"
"Six less." Captain Faolin answers, and Shanti can only gape at him as he expands, "Killed a few of his men, too."
"Captain?" Shanti thinks for a long moment before speaking. She trusts the Captain, trusts his judgement, and after all, he'd brought her onboard when few others would, even killed a man in her defense. But he'd also made her first mate, and with that came responsibilities to the ship and her crew. Finally, she sighs, "Never mind. Tell me about this new job we've got."

"It'll be easy just a get in get out theft some run of jewels."
"Okay I'll be in the galley" Shanti replied turning to leave."
"I have a past and it isn't fun when it's brought up I get mad I do things because of this past."
"So are you going to tell me about it"
"One day, one day"

Darren got up from the table just as Shanti entered the galley. Darren saw the shocked look on her face "Sorry but there was no way ta stop him from gettin' at the cake."
"That cake was supposed to be for everyone!" Shanti shouted at Banner.
Banner looked up at Shanti with crumbs on his face and said with his mouth still full "Sorry oy was hungry."
Shanti threw up her hands and stormed off to her bunk, "MEN!!" was the only word she shouted as she left the galley.
Darren looked at Banner and shrugged "Well if'n anyone needs me I'll be in my bunk."
That being said, Darren left for his bunk.

In her bunk she lowered herself slowly to the bed, her heart pounding.
Banner ate the WHOLE THING! She hadn't even had a taste. "Gah, Jeddy! I'm glad you're the only one in my bed."
Carefully, she cradled the stuffed bear to her good side. So, the Captain had secrets, thing that made him angry enough to shoot people, to forget himself in the heat of the moment.
A sudden image came to her of her boot splattered with blood and the sensation of bone crunching under her heel.
"Guess the captain isn't the only one, huh, Jeddy?" She was already hungry again, but figured a nap before she had to cook would calm her temper a bit.
