What's next?

After your shower.

You finish your your shower and step out of the bathroom. You make your way to your room and get a change of clothes. And as you're putting on your shirt the door opens revealing Quena wearing nothing but your jacket which was a little big for her frame. She began to speak; " so, can we go somewhere. I think I could pick up few things I need and it's probably a good idea to keep moving." You think it would be a good idea but wonder what she needs that she didn't just bring with her to begin with. You ask; "what is it that you need exactly?". She turned around said; " hmm, aren't you just nosey." Then she giggled and walked off. You followed her back to the cockpit and got seated. You plotted a course to a nearby market station. It wasn't any well known place just the sort of place where you would mostly find junk people are trying to offload. As you prepare the ship for jump, Quena was slipping back into her jumpsuit. She sat down in the other chair but she didn't zip herself up and all of her package was exposed with her legs spread apart. She notices that your looking and says; "it gets hot down there in these suits and it's just nice to be able to just let all hang out". You didn't question it. In fact you kinda knew what she meant. You hated how a lot of clothing was made out of rubbery materials. About 20 minutes later you get to the station and are approved for auto docking. Quena zips herself up and gets up to head to the docking door. You quickly say; " hey wait. It could be dangerous to go out by yourself." She stops and turns around to say; " I don't think I really need an escort. I think I'll be fine here. But if you insist." She waits on you and then you both head out into the station. The station was in much better shape than you expected. All the chrome plates, panels, and trim were well polished. The floor panels weren't rusted and they actually had what looked like a well equipped and fairly competent looking security ****. You looked to Quena and said; " you know what I think you'll be fine here. Just meet me back at the ship in an hour. Quena said; " only an hour? Hmph. Ok fine." She then walks off towards all the various stores that there was. You decided that while you're here you could get some groceries and various other supplies. After a while you had already gotten everything you needed but it seemed that someone may have been following you. You head to a public restroom and wait to see if any one follows you in. As your waiting you see a strange looking man who had large tusk like fangs jutting out his jaw and it looked almost as if his whole skull was exposed and he had lidless eyes bulging out. He quickly rushes you and you're quick to dodge his attack. As he misses he crashes straight into the mirror causing it to shatter in almost an explosion. As he is turning around, you grab a can out of your bag. He faces you and you see no sign of injury. He rushes you again and you shove the can straight into his mouth busting one of his fangs out. As he recoils back and spits the can out you grab his now removed fang to use as a weapon. You manage to shank him but he kicks you back away from him. The fang stuck out of his side but he showed no sign of slowing down then a security officer stepped in and fired his hand gun at him. It was good shot but it just bounced of the man's forehead only leaving a scrape on it. The man rushed the security officer and knocked him down. His gun slid across the floor and you grabbed it. you aimed at the back of the man's head and fired a shot. He stopped and just stood there as he turned back towards you. He just stared at you as he was holding the back of his head and started to wobble and then collapsed on the floor. As the officer was standing back up you handed him back his gun. You looked at the Dead man and saw on his arm he had a logo. It wasn't a tattoo it was a branding of the Dead Star logo. You turned to the security officer and said; " when they ask, tell them you killed him." You then rushed out looking for Quena. You see her with a large shopping bag and examining a display of jackets and various other fashions. You run up to her and say; " we need to go". She responds; " has it already been an hour". You say; " it's not safe here". She shows a face of concern and says; " oh, well let's go." You both make your way back to the ship. As you approach the ship you see the security officer from before waiting for you. He had your bags that you left. You open the docking door and Quena boards as the security officer hands you your bags. He looks at you and you notice he has a tattoo of a logo on his neck. It was one you were unfamiliar with. He begins speaking; " you better be careful. We can't afford to lose that asset. Check your bags when you leave." He was clearly more than just an officer. You nod and as you board your ship he says out loud; " thank you or visiting station 2835" and waves. You take off and jump the ship to a nearby moon. You checked your bags and found an envelope with information detailing your next objectives. It said that you needed to venture out to a station called Topaz 8 and in the envelope you found a badge and a permit detailing that you would be allowed to conceal carry a weapon in public. Quena walks up to you with her bag and you can tell she is excited to show what she bought.

What did she buy?
