Summary
Amena has a sponsored educational trip along with 5 of her friends to a research station somewhere in the Corporation Rim.
She doesn't technically need a bodyguard, as no one knows who she is, especially not the daughter of a planetary leader.
Unfortunately, she doesn't feel comfortable going alone, so instead of her immediate family members, or Ratthi, or Arada, or any of the other humans who might like to shepherd her and a group of annoying adolescents, she asks me.
Me.
This is going to be a massive clusterfuck.

Summary
Distantly, Gurathin remembered the union snipers on the upper floors, the drone clouds they'd all coded in case of emergency. The dull ache of his body, sharper on the side of his head, was fighting the painkillers he'd gotten loaded on beforehand. His feed was a panorama of warnings and the empty boxes of blocked ads.
He was cannon fodder with no actual conviction, an indentured systems engineer with expensive augments. The SecUnit advancing over his sprawled shape hadn't come for him - Not really.

Summary
I expect I could achieve states of boredom humans couldn't even dream of. This comes with not being considered enough of a person to get bored.
Boredom hadn't changed since I hacked my governor module, but now my brain didn't get flash fried when my attention started to wander.

Summary
I hate these clients. Worse, this is a months-long survey of this murderous planet. I’ve decided that I fucking hate planets.
Since being unloaded as cargo and starting this contract 5 days ago, my governor module hasn't been activated. I think I’m starting to believe that it won’t somehow activate itself at this point. While usually I meet my clients prior to the start of the contract, this time I was not activated until the contract was set and all the cargo (yes, including me), was unloaded on the planet. -
