Kimince followed Dukk closely as they exited the rig and came down the access stairs.
They crossed to the pad door, where the observer used the biometric scanner and then entered some codes into a keypad. The pad door swung open.
Inside stood the new crew, Mentor, Marr, and Luna. They all wore the customary tightly fitted blue shirt and slacks with matching jackets, the official uniform of the haulier designation. Mentor was cleanly shaven and looked to have just had a haircut. Marr and Luna had their hair neatly tied back in low ponytails.
“Impressive! They even have the Dinatha emblem on the jackets. Made To Demand was fast but to get an emblem too, that is impressive!” thought Dukk as his eyes scanned over the new crew.
Each had a hand on a stacked set of two travel lockers, with built in wheels in the bottom locker and a pull handle in the top locker.
Dukk smiled. These where the type of lockers that Dukk had suggested they get. Dukk wanted his crew to be able to move easily and freely. And they looked very professional. That was important to Dukk too.
Behind them was the fourth. The other observer, dressed in the usual multi-coloured and chaotic garb. The observer was looking flustered. It was as if the observer had just stumbled through the door from the ID Gateway. On the floor were two large lockers. No wheels. No handles. Dukk sighed.
“Welcome,” Dukk opened with.
Dukk paused. The observer looked familiar. The observer was of medium height, slim build. Black hair. Brown eyes. Warm brown complexion.
"Have we met before?” Dukk asked looking at the observer.
Luna tuned in. It was a question she had just asked herself too.
