The Cusp

Captain's Daughter
Recall: 4/10
Sleep: Good
Sleep Position: Unknown

I'm in space, ships everywhere, and we humans are having diplomatic problems with a race of aliens we've encountered.

The captain of the alien's ship has a daughter, and we hit it off. I board their ship and get cozy with this space babe. Although I wonder if she's just using me for cigarettes, which she seems to be very fond of. She smokes them completely in one drag. I notice odd filter lengths which almost makes me lucid, but i'm more focused on the space babe.

Then I see the captain looking at me getting close to his daughter and think "uh oh". He calls me over, and I ask what he's going to do about this diplomatic situation. I think I may have blown it by hitting on his daughter, but he says to me "let's share a cigarette". I give him one and he too puff the entire thing in one drag.

That smoke was symbolic, and I know our two races will be at peace and cooperate.

Done here, we leave the ship. The door opens and their ship is against a large meteor with a human base built on it. I'm worried about jumping out into space without a suit, but the captain and his daughter do, so I follow, preparing to hold my breath. I'm surprised to find that i can breath, although the air is thin.
