There's an old saying from earth; money makes the world go round. Now that humanity has left their home planet, and become part of the greater galactic community, that saying might be better said; money makes the galaxy go round. And, when money starts to move away from people, it can often take them with it, to surprising places. A few people were about to find that out, the hard way.
Delia Brass, a police officer who took the law, and a perpetrator's genitals, into her own hands, and mouth, and other places, found herself being sued for using excessive force.
Remn, a store clerk, who's former boss had left her the store, and a mountain of debt along with it.
Umi Okinawa, an aspiring artist, who's love of art, and lack of experience lead her to excessive amounts of debt.
Aegis Rockfreed, a simple cargo hauler pilot, who was forced to drop his cargo to avoid pirates, and then foot the bill for the lost merchandise.
And, Aloni Kreamer, a simple girl looking for a good time, who failed to read the fine print of a contract.
As fate would have it, all of these people would be brought together by debt owed to a the same company. None other that Humphard Incorporated, who's lawyers had given them all an ultimatum; either start working for the company, specifically one of it's pornographic studios, Pink Nova, or loose everything they had in legal fees. So it was, that they all found themselves sitting in a waiting room together wondering when their turn to be interviewed would come. The room was small, but well furnished, with comfortable couches, however that did little to dispel the sense of unease as the clock on the wall slowly ticked away, and they were left with only each other for company.
