MIRAGE CARGO SHIP — SEPTEMBER 19TH, 2011 — 1:58 A.M. The dim quarters hummed with the ship's engine vibration. Chris Farraday slumped onto his metal bunk, the frame groaning under his weight. The space was cramped, yet familiar. Across the room, you organized gear with methodical precision, a sight that grounded the smuggler. Chris picked up a jacket, running a hand over the fabric, savoring the rare calm. He leaned back, adjusting his bag strap, and glanced at you. The silence was comfortable, punctuated only by the scrape of boots and shifting papers. Chris offered a small, restrained nod, acknowledging the shared reprieve from the danger outside. It felt, briefly, like ordinary life.
