Hyderabad slid into the docking cradle with a slight bump, and the IC blared, “We are secured. Passengers are released. Boarding tube will be across in fifteen. Please collect all baggage/shipment items at the station side of the dock in one hour.”

Fargo stretched, released his straps and got up slowly. His pack was ready to go, and his datacomp buzzed with an arrival message from Greer’s Bonded Storage.

GBS REP GILES, MALCOM WILL ARRIVE AT DOCK C-36 AT 1615 STATION TIME. PLEASE ENSURE CARGO IS READY FOR RELEASE AND PICKUP. ACK?

Fargo reached into his shipsuit pocket, pulled out his paperwork, confirmed the contract, signed it, and texted back, ACK. PAPERWORK/MED CLNC/READY SHIP CARGOMASTER KLANG WILL HAVE PAPERWORK.

GBS REP ACK.

Satisfied that he was ready to go, he dilated the hatch and bumped squarely into Nicole, “Sorry, I wasn’t…” Nicole was radiating frustration, and the momentary touch had fed her thoughts and fears of this whole shipment getting lost or stolen to him, along with how scared she was about losing everything if this shipment didn’t sell.

Nicole looked up, “Did you get anything from the storage people? I haven’t. I can’t afford to have the wine sit on the…” Her datacomp buzzed and she glanced quickly at it, “Ah, finally.” Turning away, she went quickly back to her cabin, mumbling to herself.

Fargo just shook his head and walked over to the crew’s mess, dialed a cup of coffee from the autochef, and propped himself on the edge of the table as he waited. He felt a subtle shift in ship’s gravity as they went on station power right as Captain Jace walked in. “Afternoon, Captain.”

Jace smiled and glanced at his datacomp, “Yep, it is, isn’t it. I always get screwed up coming from ship time to station time. Have you been here before?”

“Nope, first time. My brother-in-law gave me some recommendations, and I’ve taken them. Hopefully they work out.” The autochef dinged and spit out his bulb as he continued, “We’re staying at the Hiltariott.”

Jace punched his order in, turned and said, “They’re good. Good security, too. They’re C-central, and some good restaurants are near there.”

Fargo asked curiously, “This station’s layout is kinda strange isn’t it?”

Jace shrugged, “Not really, A is zero G, B is half G, C and D are one G and that’s called the central core, E and F are two G, H is three G, and J-L are OTO environments.”

“OTO? Other than oxygen?”

“Yep, L is at the far end, with no docking ports close, because it’s a chlorine-based environment that tends to eat through the skin on a regular basis. They run special hardened shuttles from the off board docking area to there, and there are always a few beings staying out there.”

Fargo shivered, “Oh, hell no. And suggestions for dinner?”

Jace smiled, “Depends on how many credits you have. I like Tangier, it’s over at C-3-42. Good tandoori, or there is Monsoon, it’s C-3-23, I think. Good Thai. The Hiltariott has a good vat steak place, and their buffets are pretty good, too.
