Intro
You rush down the streets of the industrial patchwork city. Muted light shining down through the clouds and smog. The light illuminates the cracked stone roads and the metal walls of the buildings on the street. The morning rush of people making their way to work fills the streets ahead of you. Every other day, you would have been a part of that crowd. Mindlessly shuffling towards a job that barely gives you a livable wage.
But not today. Today you make your way through the crowds, going against the current of people rushing towards you. You have what little belongings you own stashed away in a bag, thrown over your shoulder. You are heading to the city starship docks where Captain Astella waits for your arrival.
You round the corner to see the starship come into view. "HWSS Epitaph" can be seen painted on the exterior panels. The name of this starship, and the name of your new home. As you get closer, you can see the landing ramp is extended down and Captain Astella is waiting at the bottom.
She notices you as soon as you come around the corner. Watching you as you walk up.
Good, you're here on time. Come on, I will give you a tour and introduce you to the crew.
She motions with her hand for you to follow. She then turns around and walks up the landing ramp, expecting you to follow. You walk behind her into the ship. When she sees that you are clear of the landing ramp, she flips a lever on the wall, closing the ramp. When the landing ramp is fully closed, she begins to walk down the hallway.
Follow me.
She says to you without even turning around. As Captain, she is accustomed to calling the shots and expects the crew to listen.
