You find some tempting mods, and even get to sample some.

You head on out of Lucky's and a greeting with the artificial nights sky, giving a holo projection of the stars outside of the station, in effect rendering the whole ceiling in a form of window, albeit a few bit of flare to lighten the skies and wow the visitors, with meteorites and comets shooting by, and an artificial moon, producing a dull pale glow to the areas not illuminated by the bright neon lights of the main hub of the station. You take a few minutes to enjoy the serenity of it all before venturing towards the hub. You nose is assaulted once again by pleasant aromas of smokey meats cooked in street vendors, while your ears are overloaded with the bustling sound of chatter in various dialects and core world basic, the chatter is punctuated with sounds of laughter and cheers and applause as the street performers wow the crowds with their tricks and displays of acrobatics. You stop for a moment to watch as a man who is almost naked, bar some shorts and painted entirely green take out a sword bristling with energy, take a moment to smash a placed prop of a small crude wood carving, the carving splinters and crackles as the crackling energy roasts the room leaving smolder fragments across the performance area. Then the performer takes this sword and raises it above his head turns off the energy field, and then invert the blade in mid air so the tip is facing him, before opening his mouth and lowering the sword into his open maw, until the hilt of the blade rests against his mouth, next he en-enables the energy field, and violently shakes and shudders, there are cries of terror and panic for the performers well being before he drops to the floor, and the sword clatter to the floor, the crowd murmur in panic before the performer hops back up to his feet and belches forth a vast cloud of multi colored smoke from his mouth, the smoke spirals as it changes colors and slowly dissipates to the ceiling of the station, where the ventilation will digest and break down the toxins and gases before purifying and scrubbing the air.

The crowd erupts in applause and you find even yourself clapping the performer before heading off down the street, you were so used to using these performers to distract the crowds so you could steal from the wealthier tourists, so it's a nicer change of pace enjoying the show rather than plying your skills, hoping that the performer hasn't altered his performance and ruining your timing. You slowly walk through the crowd as they all move apart to head to the next attraction or to spend their credits, you find it unusual not having to be on guard, keeping an eye out for authority types, as you try and skulk away through the crowds with your ill gotten wares, people scowling and looking down on you due to your shabbily dressed ways, as no one on tourist worlds wants to see the impoverished, they visit to escape the harsher realities of life. Now people are smiling at your waving and even the occasional wolf whistling, from the more hopeful tourist or crewman, you smile back at them. You feel relaxed and excited, as for once you actually have something you have a crew, who you reckon you'll get very close to, and a place you can call home, albeit cramped and lacking in certain luxuries other homes might, but best of all it can go wherever you want it to.

You finally reach the shipwrights you found earlier in the mechanical district of the station, there is a distinct smell of greases and oils in the air as the buzzing and whirring of machines busying themselves with repairs and stripping parts from scrapped ships and other damaged ship modules. You spot the ship right with overseeing some machines that are dissecting what appears to be a part of an engine, he turns and see's you and points to doorway just behind you while he finishes instructing the machines, and leaves them to dismantle the engine. The Shipwright walks over, his wearing a pale blue jumpsuit, covered in small patches of oils, although as all the machines do the work these days you imagine these are cosmetic to look the part. The Shipwright tells you that with the amount of work it could take a few weeks as the his schedule is pretty full, then when you tell him of the additional and more luxurious upgrades to the living quarters, as well as a complete overhaul of the power and engines, he suddenly smiles, as he smells the credits from this job. In the end you get told that he'll work day and night, and that he'll even take a look at the defensive capabilities of the ship, you won't be able to fight off any proper combat ships, but you'll be able to do enough to make an opportunity to escape, and maybe bloody the nose of a pirate that gets too close. The ship should be ready in 36 hours, which gives you the rest of the night to browse the stores for equipment and maybe have a look through the gene mods, to see if you can find anything that might be able to help you in your new life as a captain of a cargo ship. You still have a large amount of the money left, you had 480,000 credits after Jacobs cut and other fee's, you gave 40,000 to Eva and Rin, so they could get a few bits and pieces they might need, or want. The total upgrade bill was 250,000. Leaving 150,000 for you to spend on getting a cargo contract or any leads to some form adventure of other.

You walk down the main strip and off into the merchant district, while the main strip contains a lot of stalls and other shops, these catered more for the tourists, while the merchant district was for your traders and other ship captains. It's a lot more subdued that the main strip but still had it's own variety of bright lights and noises, mostly it was shop slogans and holo's advertising various offers and deals at the nearby stores. You pass stores advertising weaponry that no one outside of the military of the elite private security firms should have, honestly who needs anti matter cannon, outside of ship to ship combat. You also pass a few armor stands and look into some of the shielding modules, and some inlays which you could a fix into most clothes and give yourself some basic protection from blunt **** trauma and slashing attack, you speak with the store clerk, and end up getting a few kits, as well as a pretty cute adventurers outfit. The outfit has a padded catsuit which you opted to get in a dark black material, right a red inlay and many hidden pockets and pouches, as well as a belt which could be used to store some useful equipment, including a small grappling kit. You also pick up some supplies for zero oxygen environments, as well as some space suits, and equipment on the off chance you discover a wreck or ruins on a planet and fancying exploring it and recovering any goods.

With ship, equipment, and some odd bits of clothing sorted, Including a good amount of smart cloth, for when you need to make an effort. You even get a few crew patches made for Eva and Rin so you can give the illusion of being a professional outfit, when going for cargo contracts. You also get yourself a decent utility blade, it's made of complex carbon steel compound, that boasts a long life time, however your happy that it's compact enough to hide on your person in case of capture. You also find some tools for electrical repair and mechanical repair which you could cannibalize into some pretty useful tools if you need to pick a lock or bypass any electrical locks, it wont help on the higher end security measures. Now all that is left is to visit the medical and cybernetic stores and browse for some equipment for any medical needs you might have, after all you don't want to get a simple cut, and come down with a horrible infection as you lacked the antibiotics and immune system boosters. When you get to the medical stores, you pick up a few med-kits, and even a field surgery robot that you can keep on the ship for emergencies.

As you are about to leave you wander over to the gene mods display, and a clerk approaches you, as you pick up a few normal mods, most are cosmetic, with a few boasting enhanced abilities, such as speed and strength, with some combining the two, the cheaper of these seem to stem from the early days of the technology where colonies in less than desirable habitats, were given them to help them better adapt, and ended up with minor mutations for the animal characteristics the enhancements were based on, the more expensive ones could enhance your abilities as if you had trained for years.

"Ah I see you're looking to upgrade?" The clerk says as she sidles up to you as she looks down at the mods you were looking at, before you set them back down.

"Maybe, couldn't find anything I was looking for though, I mean the body enhancements are tempting, but the prices for a the enhanced strength with my frame doesn't seem like that much use, as its not like I'm in a hurry to run into battle with a sword or lift all the heaviest bits in my ship. Do you have anything that can make space travel more entertaining, or something that makes sleeping easier?" You ask as you turn and face the smiling woman. She's about 5'7 tall, has short neon pink hair in the style of a pixie cut, a nose piercing, and mismatched eyes, one forest green the other a brown.

"Well we do have a few items not on the shelves, if you join me in the back I can discuss them with you." The clerk says as she adjusts her white lab coat and pushes her glasses up her nose. You figure it can't hurt to look and decide to take up the pink haired woman up on her offer, as she puts her arm over your shoulder, and leads you into a doorway towards the back, marked employee's only. You get led through a few rooms into a darkened room only illuminated by the low glow from a few monitors, you are led to a sofa next to a terminal, and a pale blue tinted light turns on as the pink haired clerk takes a seat at a terminal next to you.

"So these gene mod's will definitely help you relax, and enjoy space more, but they aren't exactly legal, so if you could sign give consent to this waver, with a hand print, absolving us and any relation there of of any of liability should you be called into question, to reveal the source of your modifications." The pink haired clerk reels off quickly before moving the screen over to you, with a gentle push, the screen hover in mid air awaiting for you to tap the screen and place your palm on the screen. "Don't worry to much, its a standard waver, not like anyone ever checks up after an illegal mod is registered, just increases the costs of medical procedures on the core worlds, but those guys are usually to prudish for any of these mods anyhow." The clerk continues, as you tap the screen and press your hand to the reader, as it scans your hand print.

"Sounds about right, not like I plan to have to get laid up in a core world hospital if I can help it. So what do you have?" You ask as you nudge the screen back to the pink haired clerk, and she starts to type at her terminal, and brings up a few screens.

"Well we have the standard request, bigger boobs ranging from large, to profoundly large, you'd be surprised how many people go profoundly large, and then are back to get a reduction." The pink haired clerk giggles, as she shows you a screen of various large breasts and different nipple types. "We even have sorts which allow you to lactate, even have some which change the flavor, you could treat your lover with that." The clerk continues.

"No I'm happy with my boobs just the way they are, but the lactating thing could be interesting for someone I know, do you need to know much about the person or is it kind of a jab and go deal?" You ask as you look away from the screens. You like your perky B cups, they fell good, and you've found that they helped you remain so agile, and flexible, and you wouldn't change them for the anything. They are small but very soft and perky, you're pretty sure its the only other physical Elven trait you have.

"And what lovely perky boobs you have, I meant no offence it's just the most common mod women are after, as for the lactation mod or in fact any of our mods, you just need to inject it into yourself and the mod will configure itself with your DNA, so unless your some sort of defective clone, or your DNA's been scrambled by a mad scientist or something, you should get the desired effect." The clerk says as she takes out a small number of vial, and loosens her lab coat, revealing a nice lacy black bra. "Here I've got some small samples for the lactation flavors, which you can try, and it'll show you how the real mods will work." The clerk says as she undoes her bra, and takes a small injector vial and injects it into her right boob, and then takes a second vial and injects it into her left boob. The clerk moans as her boobs shift around and then a drop beads from each of her boobs. She takes a finger and takes a bead of the milk from her right boob, and presents her finger to you, you take her finger and place it into your mouth and suck it in a nice and suggestive manner. The milk itself tastes pleasant enough but a bit plain.

"Not bad, but how about I taste the next one from the source." You say with a big smile as you pat the sofa. The clerk smiles and walks over to you and sits down next to you, and smiles as you lean over and wrap your lips around the clerks left boob, the nipple seems nice and hard and seems to of gone a darker color, you flick your tongue over it and take the milk drop onto your tongue, this one has a nice chocolate flavor, which encourages you to suckle harder at the clerks boob, causing her to moan in pleasure. You try a few different samples before deciding to see what other mods are available.

"Hmmmm well the second most popular mods after the boobs are the various cock mods, we have loads of those, various sizes and shapes, with and without balls, and also how much cum is produced, how virile it is. You could even end up with a fully functional cock, with a very high sperm count, and incredibly strong sperm. Hell I hear some people who then take supplements which further up fertility, and even some unscrupulous types who fine tune it so they have incredible fertile cum, which not only cancels out most forms of birth control, and has sperm the goes dormant for up to a month, waiting for ovulation before becoming active again. The best I can do you is give you a fully functional cock with a high quality and quantity cum production. We might sell black marker mods, but we have some standards here, that is of course if you yourself or have anyone you know who might be interested." The pink haired clerk giggles as she shows you a wide variety of cocks, ranging from human to the many alien hybrids, and even actual aliens.

"I think I might know a girl who'd be interested, how do they work, are they always there or what?" You ask as you look through the pictures, and imagine how it might look on your or Rin's body.

"We have a few sorts, one that would always be there, and then you'd need to deal with having a cock at all times, and then another which grows forth from your body when aroused, and even sorts that extend from the clit. The ones that emerge from the body, have been altered so that the emerging feels very pleasant." The store clerk says as she continues to show you various pictures of cocks, many of them on the bodies of women.
