A small humanoid around 3ft tall shuffles across the deck, he has rust coloured skin and what appears to be scales on the back of his hands and feet. He is draped in a heavy brown wooden cloak that covers his face and arms and the rest of his body is glad in loose leather plates. Two shining red eyes peer out from under his hood, on his back he has a rusty metal bucket with lots of bits and pieces of scrap metal in it.

As the door to the canteen slides open, a figure emerges from the other side. It is a strange and fascinating creature, its body is made of an opalescent blue slime. The being is clad in a white and orange space suit, making it clear that it is not of this world. The air around it seems to hum as it walks, its movements fluid and graceful.
S approaches the bar and orders a drink. Their skin is mauve (kind of like a purplish brown) and slightly slippery looking, and their head resembles a squid’s, with ten tentacles surrounding a fanged maw. In spite of their fierce appearance, they are gentle and peaceful and a little disoriented by the chaos of the station.

"The technology of this post-modern world brings comfort, but also new threats. Many believe that the megacorps don't care about people, and that the populace is viewed as numbers to pad a bottom line. I beg to differ. I believe that in this day and age, in the eyes of the corporations, a living being is worth less than the sum of their parts."
*Just a thought I had while developing my character. It may not make it into the final cut, but I think it has promise.*
A tall human woman enters the bar, wearing military style clothes augmented with futuristic technology.
She has a laser rifle strapped to her back, looking similar to a M4A1. It has a holographic red dot that can zoom up to 10X magnification, and she has an electric baton hanging from her left hip.
“Any of you numbskulls need a hired guard? I’m looking for work right now and I’m a good shot.”
There is a human-made and Reach-based megacorp known as ScrongleCorp, and it covers everything relating to comfort and entertainment, from plumbing to furniture to fast food. But above all, its greatest invention was the ScrongleNet, also known as the Metaverse. It functions similarly to the internet, but is significantly faster and easier to use. It is also intelligent and helpful, allowing people to make content for it with ease. No one knows what runs the ScrongleNet, nor how it transmits signals without the use of any detectable... well, signals. The closest thing to an answer is that people have found bundles of nerves inside ScrongleCorp routers, but the only thing people were able to find out from that is that the company was using its proprietary biotech once again, which is designed to be impossible to reverse-engineer.
The ScrongleNet has connected people like never before, but has brought grave threats with it.
An ad has started appearing frequently on all devices connected to the ScrongleNet: a job is available. It involves going down into Reach's sewer system, finding a specific person, and bringing them to Scrongle HQ. It seems easy enough... except that no one has finished the job, and those who take the job come back empty-handed, refusing to talk about what happened.
*ooh that sounds amazing! I think that Anne would fit perfectly.*
Anne Graves walks down the street after reading an advertisement on the Stronglenet about a retrieval job. She has her laser rifle at the ready, and her .42 pistol is working again. She is wearing a set of augmented military fatigues and body armour made from a mix of lead and Kevlar.
”Where is that sewer entrance?” She mumbles, unaware that the job may take a turn for the worst

*can you define what you mean there? I only know hud from video games lol*
Oh… just realized what you meant. She has a screen built into her right arm with a cochlear implant on her right ear for voice comms.
ScrongleNet begins to talk to her directly. Okay, so you should be able to get in through a manhole down the alley to your right.
*sry my phone died but I’m back now :)*
Anne turns to the right into the alley and starts to lift the manhole up.
“What should I expect when I’m down there?”
I'm not sure. It seems you don't have access to that information. I'll try and get you some more data, but it'll take a while. I can get you a map from the ad, but that's all I can do for now.

The barkeeper slides over on his maintenance rail. The robot greets them in a cheery British accent. "How may I be of service?"

S looks at her. They seem a little wary (they’re not good with sassy outspoken people).
*I like your character Nikki. It’s just that S is a little shy around her.*

Anne looks up and sees S looking at her.
