Thex let out a slight sigh as she opened up the next crate. Mislabled. That was two out of this order. Soemone at supply corp needed a boot upm the behind and a smack around the head.
Slapping what was actual in each crate she stretched slightly trying to get the tirdness out of her muscles. She wanted to clock off and go hit the ships pool, but she was working. She wasn't going to dump this job on one of her junior crew whilst they were having some fun.
She knew what she was getting into when she joined the fleet. LOng hours of boredom broken up by short moments of terror. Letting out another sigh the sapphire girl sat down on one of the boxes. Why was she feelings so down today?
Pulling out her personal padd she had a look through the dates. Her eyes widned as she noticed the day she had seta reminder for. Escape day. The day she had run. The day she had jumped the fence and ran like she'd never run before
How long had it been now. It felt like another lifetime ago. Hel it was a lifetime ago.
She'd been a scared confused girl blinded by a religious brainwashing that how she managed to shake it off still confused her to this day. Had her parents ever had such feelings? Did they just decide to stay for them and the quad. Would she ever find out?
Probably not returning to andor was something she wanted to avoid if at all possible. It was bad enough she had to submit her DNA to them to see if someone she liked would be a suitable partner.
Slumping down to the floor she ran her blue fingers through her long white hair. She was having one of her moods again. Closing her eyes she breathed in and out a few times steadying her breathing
In her mind the image of the calm tropical beach appeared as her mind focused on the water coming and retreating back into the ocean.
No matter what the situation she couldn't fix the problems of the universe. She couldn't fix her people's religious problems or their fertility problems.
but she could fix the issue at hand.
Picking herself to her feet she gave her head a shake before returning to the issue at hand. Pulling out a padd she started listing all the supplies that had been currently missorted.
Then she returned to checking the cargo bay making sure to list what was there and what had been mislabeled before doing the same in the other cargo bays. With a fully complete list, she returned to her office getting the list sent off to the local supply centre.
Feeling a weight off her shoulders the ship's blue girl leant back in her chair as the reports vanished up the long pipeline back to the supply hub and federation logistics.
She couldn't fix the universe's problems but she could fix the one in front of her.
