He examined the CPW-Trotsky closely as he talked to a woman over the comms about docking. In his opinion it looked like it would work better underwater as a submarine. Perhaps that was where the design had been based. It looked designed for combat against large ships, judging by the shape and turret positions. But he pondered this little, and went over again what he would say.
He had decided to not pretend to be something he was not. To go in, offer what he was, and if they didn't like it then he would die. Simple in his mind. He had sent all of his money to his family, and his Wasupu had been given to a special friend he had found on his travels. He hoped he would see her again.
He cleared docking control for his Starflier, which he had chosen personally as it was the cheapest, allowing his family to have more money. He had only bought it the day before, and had been fortunate not to run into any who wished to cause him harm.
He glided into the chosen docking port and set his ship down. He passed a technician while heading for the main structure of the ship, toward the recruitment office. The technician gave him an understanding look, as if he knew what we going through his mind right now. As he walked past the technician, he said a few words.
'Melt it down into something useful. I don't need it either way.'
The technician nodded, and then the applicant reached a doorway and lost sight of the technician and the dock. He wondered if he would see it again.

He sat down outside of the recruitment office door, believing he could hear voices on the other side. So this was it, he thought to himself. Death, or a new chapter of life. He could still walk out if he really wanted to, but knew he wouldn't do it. He had searched, and this was the last option.
He took a small paperback book out of his coat pocket, and began to read. It was a thriller he had ten pages left on, and he hoped he could finish it in time.
