Description

The Sentinel Trooper locker room on the Nelson Daxx Trans Galactic Space Station, orbiting the planet Laredo. Troopers were finishing and starting shift. The room busy and noisy.

“Uggghhh...look at this” said Trooper Level 4 28170 Kasee Forster.

“What?”

“Our duty just got extended four freaking hours.”

Trooper Level 2 99103 Bekka de Cantos looked at the smartphone. Sure enough there was a duty change. What had been a short eight hour base guard duty had just had a prisoner transfer added, a shuttle ride back down to Laredo, then delivering the prisoner back to Internal Security. When, no doubt, the prisoner would be asked some questions by a very persistent group of people.

“Does it say who we’ve got?” said Bekka.

“Nooo, some LFF bitch I guess.”

“Just one?”

“Yeah, just the one.”

“Yeah, we’re on triple time though.”

“Yeah girl!”

There was an upside. Extra hours on a frontier world deployment and the money was good. Tax free and all hours on double time, triple time for extra. Both Kasee and Bekka were ready for a big cash in when they got back home. Kasee was already spending it in her head. First stop was the Volsten dealership and a new Interceptor GT. Then a long vacation to a resort that was nothing like the shit hole that was Laredo.
