Before I start the story, I would like to give you some information about The Outpost. The Outpost in the story is way bigger than the one we have in the game. It's a whole city with a mall with the classic outpost nearby, and a giant gate in the distance, where if you walk straight from where you dropped off to the teleporters you can arrive at the gate in a jippy. That's all, enjoy the story!

The Outpost, Unknown Planet

Raena looks is in the dressing room, trying on her new clothes. She wears the last set of clothes she picked out, a blue long sleeve shirt with a black vest over it, blue skirt, black leggings and white boots, along with the black toolbelt she had with her uniform. She twirls her hair and smiles, seeing how the clothes fit her.

"You look pretty good!" Raena heard a familiar voice, which turns out to be just a flashback.

-------------

"You really think so?" Raena giggles as she looks at herself in the mirror, wearing the Protectorate Uniform

"Yeah! Blue fits you a lot." Aiden scratches the back of his head. "It just matches your unique red hair so much, hehe."

Raena looks away and blushes. "Alright, I guess I'll stick with this then!" She looks at her clothes, thinking about how Aiden likes the color of her uniform.

(This hints on Raena's love for the color blue)

--------------

Raena giggles, remembering her first day in the Protectorate. She then worries about Aiden and starts tearing up. "I wonder if he's okay..."

She looks over at her manipulator. "I hope I'll get to see you again.. Aiden... But for now I'll be stuck with a novakid and his crew..."

"Heyy! You done in there?" Milli calls out from outside the dressing room.

"Yeah! I'm going back out!" Raena gets the other clothes along with her manipulator. She opens the door, seeing Milli waiting for her there.

"Hey! You look nice!" Milli gave Raena a thumbs up with a smile. 

Raena giggles and walks out the dressing room. "I'll take what I'm wearing and these two." She shows her a couple of clothes, as she leaves the others by the seat nearby.

"Yeah okay, I'll pay for it." Milli smirks as a mini drone scans the tags on Raena's clothes.

Raena gets startled by the drone and jumps, an employee takes her unchosen clothes from the seat. The drone flies over to the cashier and Milli along with Raena follows it. "So this is how the shops are here? So advanced..." Raena walks by Milli, carrying her chosen clothing.

"Isn't it like this on Earth too?" Milli raised an eyebrow, asking Raena.

"Well, we still have cashiers having the tags checked by the counter. We don't really have any drones flying around scanning tags."

"Well, welcome to The Outpost."

Milli pays for the clothes with a quite decent amount of money. "Where's Sineeda btw?" Raena looked around.

"Sinnie went out to buy your armor and fix up your uniform and stuff like that." Milli replied. "Speaking of Sinnie, he's right behind you!"

Raena looks behind her, where Sineeda is standing, carrying a cloth bag of items. She gets startled and jumps because Sineeda is just really tall. "Oh, my apologiess." Sineeda slightly bowed and asked for forgiveness.
