The ship was nothing but a flying cockpit with thrusters... oh and the capability to carry a standard cargo container, even though, on first sight, there seemed to be nothing standard about it anymore.
The little bulkhead which would later connect cockpit with container, and allow a worried captain to check for the freight, was sealed with several security locks. The container itself was secured with several clamps and metal straps that were designed to withstand pressure from the inside. A worried captain would now immediately ask: “Hey, what the hell am I going to transport” but because it was confidential, Xui Ta would know that asking her superiors was not going to answer her this question. Most probably even they didn’t know what was inside that box. There was another question, but she had been told that it was confidential either. “If it is so dangerous, why do I have to guard it alone?” . Even in the little station somewhere at the rim of the human expansion, there were several good soldiers, mostly women because it was an ADD outpost, but none of the girls had been allowed to follow her on this mission.

With a hiss and the release of air coming from several vents on different sides of the little transport ship, the cargo container docked with it, while the responsible engineer turned towards Xui Ta, handing her a little board with some documents clamped to it.

“Well, I don’t know what’s in that thing, but I wish you good luck, so that it does not come out. If you saw the specifications of what the container should be able to withstand, you would worry too, mam. But as far as I can see nothing close to a collision with a comet, or a direct crash could be able to pierce through that box. If you would please sign this papers before you leave? They basically say that I handed over the “object” in a safe and secure condition, and as such they can save my ass later, if the container does not reach its destination, Thank you very much.”

Another voice at her left, belonging to the blond haired Admiral Dana Vlachopoulos, an ugly and small woman, but with a voice that demanded respect and steel-grey eyes, which were those of a predator, added:

“The codes to open the locks are stored within the board computer, but we advise you not to open them anytime but in the most dire circumstances. We wish you good luck, and pray for you that this won’t be necessary”

It was depressing really, seeing this tiny ship she had to pilot when she compared it to even her fighter ship let alone her beloved Dominance. She could only sight slightly as she signed the documents. Xui looked to the admiral as she spoke nodding simply to the woman when she was done. She took in the orders and commands and what not. She was obviously disinterested and since 'technically' she was never properly trained as a soldier in the ways ot etiquite it wouldn't be much of a surprise to anyone that had seen her files nor the races that she was comprised of (neither Dhran nor slime girls were known for being good at following military hierarchy based on trivial things like experience)

For a moment she wondered why they didn't just launch the damn cargo into a quasar and be done with it if it was so damned dangerous; an automated transport would be fine for that sort of assignment.
“Alright ah understand, can ah just get this stupid pointless mission ova wit' so ah can get back ta tha Dominance an' some actually important missions? Ah mean realleh ah know this was confidential but, fer tha lovea god ahm a soldier, a scientist coulda done this wit'out problems, not like a pirate's gonna want a crappy lookin' thing like this.”

she obviously didn't have a high opinion of either scientific agenda, or cargo escort missions, nor solo missions. She was a strong, social, somewhat aggressive creature by virtue of her three natures, She'd do it begrudgingly of course, the ADD gave her life, and more or less freedom to do mostly what she wanted when they didn't need her.
