Laura woke up at 8:15 AM as usual, prepped for work by cleaning her mining gear, and ate a rushed breakfast. Today she was getting assigned a new planet to begin mining on, Zek-090B, and she wanted to make a good impression. In the year 2843, space travel had become as common as public transportation, except today, Laura would have to take a new route to work. Laura went down to her usual floating shuttle stop as she gripped the pole planted on an asteroid while she waited for the shuttle to arrive. 

Laura was excited about the opportunity to get started on a new planet, so excited that mid-way through her twenty-minute journey to her new workplace, she realized she forgot her lunch! As the space shuttle warped and traveled at the speed of light to the neighboring planet, her surroundings became unfamiliar, and there was a bit of anxiety building up in her. Once the space shuttle reached its destination, Laura realized she had some time to spare.

Scanning her surroundings, she was able to locate a marketplace that she had not been to or heard of in the past. It didn't matter; she wanted her lunch so she could stop worrying about not having food for her lunch break. Laura glided over to the green neon-lit alien marketplace. She was unfamiliar with the selection of local food, but today she could not be the picky eater she usually is. Laura looks up and down at the various items, some oozing a green sauce, others packed tightly in a tube, and most sitting in plastic packages ready to be eaten.

Laura would pick the item that reminded her most of what she normally eats, albeit with some slight differences such as texture and color, she felt that it would suffice, and considering she didn't have much time to spare before work started, she had to settle. Laura scanned the item with her visor, her account would be charged, and she was off to her first day of work on planet Zek-090B.
