Thread: -=The Sky Moves Sideways=- (Zombie and Count)

A normal life. That was exactly what Samantha had grown up with. In fact her parents had even tried to hide the fact that there were people living on the moon up unto she was about 11 or so. Ever since then, Sam had been yearning to go there. An Earth bound child, with space high dreams. Of course her family was rich, so she had more than enough money to get there. Sam just didn't know how she would go about doing such a thing. She asked around, but everyone always just laughed and asked why she wanted to go there. She was never one for arguing so she would just sigh and end it there. After a few years, Samantha put her dreams in the background while she studied, did well in school, and eventually graduated. At such a young age, she was considered a genius. Graduating so early had it's advantages though, Sam now worked for a large company, Lunar Landing Tech. Corp. They were the original company to settle the moon, and now they wanted to settle Mars. That was it, Sam's ticket off of Earth, and into space. She had been dying for an opportunity like this since she was a kid! Sam was now 20 but she had her life ahead of her. She was a stunning red-hair girl with a cute little pixie nose and a round face. She looked like she could be a perfect model, if that had been the road she had chosen. When the shuttle had touched down on the moon, she couldn't believe she was actually there. It was like she was in a dream and she never wanted to wake up. She had tried to learn as many things as she could before coming here from England, though nothing she had read about or seen pictures of could compare to this. It was all so different, yet the same. 'How strange...' she mumbled to herself. This was her first job, making sure a few shipments of materials got to Mars safely. She didn't know why they thought she would be good for this job, maybe it was some kind of joke, but she didn't really care. She was finally on the Moon and ti didn't matter to her why she was there. Sam got right to work as soon as she got there, finding the loading docks and looking for the correct ship. She intended to speak to the captain like she was told to do and make sure everything was set, then she was going to ride with the cargo to Mars, but come right back to the Moon. She didn't really see the point in this, but hey, she was only doing it once. Sam paused for a moment, pulling her hair back in a ponytail before she continued on. She looked so out of place here, a small woman such as herself, wearing business attire among a ton of brutish looking men, obviously the sailors of the sky. If her parents knew what they had her doing, they would be sickened. That only made it better though. Showing her parents she wasn't to be sheltered like they tried to do to her. As Sam walked, she looked around for where she was supposed to be. She really had no idea where to go, there didn't seem to be any order to the ships. As she was looking elsewhere, she ran smack into someone. She yelled, falling backwards on the ground. Damn it! She yelled, though it almost sounded cute in her thick English accent. She looked around at her forms that were now in the dirt. As she was looking at her papers she saw a red panda. She smiled a bit before gasping. Red pandas had been extinct for over a decade now! Oh well, she would just have to worry about that later. She looked over at whom she had run into, smiling a bit. I'm really sorry about that. She said, picking up her papers. I just have no clue where I'm going. She laughed nervously. She finally got back up and dusted herself off a bit. Do you think you could help me find ship MAR52? She asked, her bright blue eyes looking over the man she had just ran into. She really hoped he would be able to help her. He seemed nice enough to do so and a lot less intimidating than most of the men to here. She smiled politely, hoping that might help a bit. Sam was never really a good people person, but she figured with a new adventure such as this, she would have to learn to be and quick. She looked back down at the red panda, still quite amazed to be seeing one like this.
