In the grand scheme of things, the time she had been on the station had been short, and with so few people, it was generally easy to avoid them. She had no interest in these people aside from what they could offer her, and being as they were in the same boat as her, there really wasn’t much they could offer. Q said they had at least a week before the ‘interested parties’ were able to make contact, but Valdis wasn’t so keen on their interference or even help, much as those trapped here might need it.

Though there was much need for more people, this station couldn’t run without more crew, even with the computer being so advanced. She left her solitary room, ensuring it was locked behind her and Revelations was safely stored away in a hidden spot. Not that anyone could take the sword without ill effects. Only she could wield it and she had no idea why. So much of her life had been some sort of mystery, with memories missing and only vague ideas of what had happened before she woke for the second time. And now she was here.

A small soul ahead of her drew her thoughts. It felt…off, not in a bad way, but in a way that reminded her of the girls she had once fallen in with so many years ago, back when necessity meant beauty could be bought and sold.
