Levi Xia is a normal crew member on the Freighter ship of Dan. A large vessel of several miles, it is the heart of arms co! A mining company that also is one of the top seller of guns in the Archilles system.
Atlas he is no officer, but merely a small time maintenance man. The hot air of the engine room chasing him to sweat, he had an apron on, thick clothes and gloves.
Arms co was known for mining and weapons, but they had an infamous flaw! Their treatment of workers were extremely rough. If anyone was out of line they'd get their pay doxed, or worse their food rations for the week.
Levi always kept his head down. Fearing to draw trouble. How could he? A normal man on a large ship with corporate overlords. Who would rebel? Certainly not him!
The upside is this isnt slavery, just abusive labor. However... he has an indentured service to them. Its been three years his start and it was certainly rough! There were no shortage of shady, corrupt or mean people.
He just had to keep his head down and work! Let coperate deal with the rest. Get out of indentured service and leave this foul ship behind!
His thoughts focused on the future did not see the tension simmering in the air. Other workers were stressed out. Many new after a bad bad day.
His dreams like their's would not come to pass. A shudder echoed across the engine room. Various pipes broke or bent. Steam exhaled, even sewage spattered. That's when the alarms went off.
Alert alert
"Essential personnel evacuate to the upper floors, security forces have been deployed to alleviate the crisis"
What crisis?" He had thought. He did not sit idly by immediately following his fellow co workers.
