Delightful Dalliances

Drogheda

Chess was a game meant to be played with pieces. From the start of the game, a full set was required, a set that over time would slowly whittle the opponent's down, and be whittled down in turn until only one side remained strong enough to gain victory - to achieve checkmate. Yet the galaxy was nowhere near as simple as such a game. There were innumerable players, each making a series of constant moves against one another, each moving to end the game of the others.

Today was a day she would acquire a new pawn.

Officially, Vanessa's reasons for being on Drogheda were simple enough - she was here to start mining of the world's ores. Possessing access to duranium ore for casting into starship frame segments would be extremely beneficial - it would mean Defiance could rely on its own suppliers for the material instead of risking a supply that could be cut off in the time of war. But Vanessa was hoping that here, somewhere on this world, perhaps she could find someone. Something that would help her.

A new piece to add to the game.

He she was, a new planet now with...well no purpose but getting as far away from her home as possible taking rides working quick jobs for cash to get to the next planet. She looked outside the ship as she saw the land below. She awed at the different colors she was seeing before she stood quickly and waited for the ramp to drop

After getting off she walked for the town...what was her purpose she wondered? She knew she couldn't wander forever without purpose everybody had a destiny they could change or have change...and for some reason she had a feeling her future was about to change forever

Wondering into the bar she picked a corner seat and ecduwd to listen to the idle chatter maybe hoping to pick up whatever would be interesting or maybe a quick repair job or two...She blade good money on those...not thinking she couldn't fix a speeder...Oh well!!

Into the bar she went. Vanessa walked over to the nearby job posting board and placed up a posted indicating her interest in hiring miners. A few already seemed interested in the posting. Now was the time to determine what to do next as she took a sip of whatever the local swill was - having a fleshy body meant she wouldn't be able to imbibe alcohol the way she used to. There was a time she could drink enough to render an Abyssin blind in one eye. Those days were long past as she sat back, pondering over her existence.

"I wonder if there's anyone of actual interest in this damned bar..."

She watched a job get posted, she sat for a minute and waited looking around when it was clear. She might as well take the job maybe see if they needed someone to repair stuff. Getting up she went to the job board and put in her name...unaware that at that very moment she was setting so much into motion to change everything about her life

She moved away back to her seat and took a drink of whatever the locals enjoyed, she spotted a few men eyeing her up...figured she was a zeltron...unfortunately that got her bad attention. She simply ignored them and pulled a data pad out and looked it over seeing about the galactic news

Vanessa smiled, noticing the extremely quick response by a Zeltron who had chosen to answer her job request. She smiled, walking over to the Zeltron in question. "I saw you respond to my job posting. So you're interesting in getting involved with the mining here? I was actually hoping to perhaps take you somewhere else for mining - somewhere that would be a bit better for mining than this."

She was eager to hear the woman's response - if she said yes, then perhaps she had found herself a tool to be broken in.

She glanced from her data pad to the woman, she put he pad down and offered a friendly smile as she nodded and sat up a bit more

a free ride to another mining planet? I mean...sure I guess what's the pls at we will be heading to I'd like to do a bit of reading on it if at all possible

She said and then frowned and chuckled shaking her head

I haven't even introduced myself, names nisa Luma and you are?

"Vanessa Vantai." She said, smiling. "We'll be heading to Obredaan, a world where we now own a cortosis mine." She replied.

Vanessa was eager to see what she could do with this one. There were several options, after all.

"Have you ever been to Obredaan before?"
