Pancake's new Profession

Who: Justin
Where: Drive Room, and then outside the Drive Room
When: After Amber became Captain
<snip>"PANCAKE! Get me a wormhole now! I want to get away from Earth." Amber barked, shuffling uncomfortably in the Captain's chair. Taken aback by the authority in her voice, Justin nodded and began to execute the commands for bringing up the Blue Dwarfs greatest ally. </snip>
Justin bit his nails nervously. He did everything Amber ordered him to without turning around to face her once. He felt embarrassed that only just a few days ago, they were on totally different sides of this war they were waging, and once Amber had become Captain of the ship, no questions were asked – Justin was posted to the Drive Room, and no-one had even mentioned his allegiance to the JMC.
But this was his first day, and he expected a little chat with Amber any time soon. He started to prepare his speech, at first thinking of apologising to her for working against her, but then after a few more moments thought, hell, what did he have to apologise for? He was following orders from his employer the entire time. The employer that they'd all been working for at one time or another.
To his surprise, Amber let him finish his shift without any such chat. But he was sure he'd get one tomorrow.
As he logged off his computer and left the Drive Room, he was pulled into a recess in the corridor by a shadowed assailant. A hand clasped over his mouth so that he didn't say anything.
"It's me!" Said a familiar Scottish voice. Kara McGellan replaced the hand for her lips and pressed her soft hard-light body against him.
"I can't believe you're working for them!" Kara said.
"What?" Justin said, shocked. "Amber is Captain now."
"She's still the enemy." She said. "Amber might be Captain, but she's not JMC. We're supposed to be JMC!"
Justin noticed that she still wore a uniform with a JMC armband. "The JMC are evil!" Justin said.
"Who says?" Said Kara. "Amber?"
She stepped back, allowing him to see her jumpsuit with the zip pulled down just enough to show him her cleavage. "The JMC gave me this body. When I died, they allowed me to carry on living. Without them, I'm nothing." She paused, allowing those words to sink in.
"But... They gave me a nice job... I don't have to torture anyone anymore..."
Kara slammed her hand on the bulkhead next to him. "Dammit Justin, they're still the enemy! All that's changed is that WE'RE the resistance now!"
He was silent.
"Meet me in Parrotts at 08:45 tomorrow, I'll have mission for you, from the JMC resistance!"
He watched as she walked off, swaying her holographic Scottish ass. Justin, as ever. Was confused.
<To be continued, but if you want to meet Justin in Parrots the next morning before he meets Kara, he'll be sat there waiting!>
