Tayrey nods eagerly. 'I heard that. Company housing if you take the right job. I'm sure I'll find something soon enough; I'm not fussy.'

I'm not bad at lifting heavy things. I'm better at flying starships, but I hear there's not much call for that here,' she jokes. 'Or anything else I trained for shipside. I'll figure it out.'

After a moment's pause, curiosity gets the better of her. 'What are you doing for work here?' she asks.
