I’ve been to nine planets in twelve years and it’s starting to show. Even the most advanced implant is limited by the capabilities of your brain, and I'm losing track of which language is which.
Perched on a crate in the hold of the overnight shuttle to the moon is a good place to watch the universe go by. Miners, mostly, and a few businessmen. A few green cadets are watching the chaos with horrified fascination, their pressed uniforms standing out against the scuffed black and grey of the general population. It's almost cute. Would be, if I didn't know what they'd turn into.
The crowd jostles my crate and from my seat I look over them to the air lock and the citizen police in their silver body-armour striding into position. A surprise border check - no wonder people are trying to dodge. I slip down into the middle of them, dragging my duffel with me, and pull my cap down low over my face.
