Part 1
"Life isn't fair, sure I get it, everyone knows that. It's like the first thing a kid learns. The universe doesn't care and will kill us and everything we love the moment it has the chance. The only way we made it this far is by making our own luck, right? Pushing back against anything that wants to stop us. So why is it then, that when I, a denizen of Barker's Round, a member of the freaking Terran Confederacy, an honest to the omnimessiah human derived sapient, locked in a damned jail cell for trying to do the same thing my ancestors did that let us enjoy this wonderful place we call home?!"
The pink haired anthropomorphic fox paced back and forth in her cell, glancing up at the lone guard sitting at a desk in the detention hall. Her body language screamed danger, her ears flat on her head and her tail flicking in adjitaiton. The poor guard was lucky those durasteel bars were between her and him, she thought, fantasizing about giving him a right hook and leaping out the window to freedom.
The guard just stared back at her with amber eyes. "You hit a nanoforge and somehow cracked part of the inner casing, thats why."
"I did not hit it! That's bullshit! I did not…" The slamming of a door interrupted her rebuttal.
Another guard stood in the doorway beside a stocky hyena morph with a jet black mane and a very much not amused look on his face.
"Oh, hi Mark!" the vixen perked up, giving the guard a shit eating grin. "Come to tell these fine gentlebeings that they were wrong to arrest me?"
"Stuff it Rin, you fucking headbutted the only working nanoforge in the town and somehow damaged it beyond autorepair!" Mark growled. "I don't even know how you didn't cave in your skull doing that!"
Rin rubbed her head "Well it did hurt, but the damn thing wouldn't print my job!"
"You're damn lucky we need to depart soon, they'll release you to my custodoy." The guard beside him nodded. "What the hell was so important that you couldn't contact the tech VI and ask what the holdup was anyway?"
Her bold front disintegrated, tail curling between her legs a bit as her ears tilted down. "The stuffy…"
"A FUCKING STUFFY!?"
"It's not just a stuffy! It's the one that xenospecies captain that survived the precursor attack made, its SO CUTE! I needed it Mark." She protested, ending on a meek note. "It even says I love you when you hug it…"
The hyena just stared at her for a moment before turning to the guard. "On second thought, nevermind. I don't need her out of there that badly.
She looked on in horror as her saviour and the other guard walked out and closed the door. "YOU JACKASS! FUCK!"
The guard at the desk just smirked and laughed.
