Segment Three

Nyx was standing watch when an officious human in a GalPat uniform strutted up to the boarding hatch, a satchel over his shoulder. “Notify your captain and only your captain that I am here to inspect your ship.” He proffered an ID chip and Nyx quickly scanned it, even as he called Estrella via his implants. “Estrella, a GalPat inspector, Ingram, is here to perform some inspection…”

Estrella relayed the message and Danny quickly made his way to the boarding tube. Danny took one look at the man and took an instant dislike to him. Officious little shit is right. Napoleon complex and a uniform to enforce his wishes. “Why are you inspecting us? We’re certified by GalPat and have had all the requisite inspections within the last six months.”

“Well, Captain, I really don’t care when you were inspected. I was directed to inspect this…ship for food storage and preparation. People like you are notorious for shoddy procedures and lack of cleanliness. Shall we go? I have other things to do than stand here and talk to you while your people frantically try to clean the spaces.”
