Station X-A, a city in space, or so it is often called. While the upper decks are always hustling and bustling with the commotion of traveling spaceships and their crews, and the lower tiers were nothing but dull storage facilities, the central areas of the station were quiet, at least in the residential zones. While the stores and shops of the nearby business zones were busy as always, none of that seemed to reach the quarters of the Sorenson family.

Young Sally Sorenson stretched as she sat up in bed, moving to rub her eyes in an effort to scrub the numbers and equations from her mind. Even if her family is "pure" of cyber implants, it was common practice for space-faring children to wear a school provided neural-band around their head as they slept to just absorb the knowledge of a day's lesson in their sleep. And as her drowsiness faded, Sally remembered she was still wearing the band and wasted no time in pulling it off and shoving it in her bedside table.

Jumping out of bed, Sally, clad only in an oversized t-shirt that reached her knees, ran over to the large oval window across the room and threw open the curtains, only to be met with the star-studded black canvas of space. Still, she giggled playfully, the redundancy of the action humoring her. Leaning on the windowsill, Sally thought about her plans for the day as she peered upwards to see what new ships were entering or leaving the docks. Her neural band was set to wake her up after her parents went to work, though she did not know whether her older brother Devin was home or out with friends already.

What will Sally do first today?
