Page 104

Rico sits, leaning forward with his hands clasped between his knees, in a small office space, the equivalent of a trailer in sci-fi worlds. A female alien sits across from him behind a desk. She's considerably more casual than the recruiting robot Rico faced earlier, as she leans back and fidgets back and forth in an old chair.

She bobs back and forth in her chair, spinning and drumming a stylus in her hand, before planting her feet on the ground, tossing one arm on the desk and leaning towards Rico. "Sure, we'll take you on board."

She leans back in her chair and squints over Rico. "What species are you?". Rico hems and haws, rambling about being from far off but avoiding saying he's human. That has brought on enough baggage.

The alien lady takes his muffled ramblings as a sign that he doesn't know what he is and leans back in her chair with a hefty bump. "Welcome aboard." Rico stands, thanking the woman for the opportunity.

Author's Notes:

This looks like an amazing opportunity for Rico! As long as we ignore our peripheral vision and/or become selectively illiterate. Everything always works out for Rico, so let's give a go!
