The Couple, The Smuggler, and the Machine of Life

It began in the middle of the story...

It is the Major Six War. Many fleets were destroyed in the battlefields, leaving enormous wreckages among some good loots. Like many moments in his career, Rubin Bones and the Betty Mary immidiately jumped to one of those aftermeth with no hesitation - the early bird catches the worm.

Bones wasn't an easily trustful man. He was betrayed once when doing so, scarring him for many years, changing the rule to keep him safe - both physically, and mentally.

Inspecting. scanning. All from inside the ship, these are things he usually did while scavaging. He did it so carefully to ensure something dangerous won't be found. And that's what he finds behind a slightly damaged airlock box: A low signal of two human lives.

He never thought to rescue something like this. In fact, he would've let them die without anyone noticed, but what he saw directly on the monitor caused him a sympathetic feeling. He decided to bring the box into the ship...
