Trade Era 1235, Day 3
Hercules, Draco II, Sector 05.26
Jil reclined in the small living quarters of her lifter ship, engrossed in a book, her sanctuary from the repetitive hum of the cargo ship Hercules. But her focus on maintaining a semblance of normalcy in the humdrum routine was disrupted as her communication console buzzed unexpectedly. The screen flickered to life, revealing the familiar emblem of ITC's Naval Intelligence. Jil's eyes narrowed, a sudden tension gripping her.The stern face of Commander Alara appeared, her image transmitted across the vast expanse of space.
"Agent Jil, your service in the Navy has not gone unnoticed. We have a new assignment for you," Commander Alara stated, her tone businesslike and devoid of unnecessary sentiment.
"The Celestial Voyager, a merchant vessel in New Jordan, has become a focal point of interest. We suspect a dangerous individual is using it as a transport on a mission that may threaten interplanetary security." Commander Alara continued, her words deliberate. "Your assignment is to join the crew of the Celestial Voyager undercover before it leaves New Jordan. Gather information, assess the situation, and report back to us. Discretion is paramount. I'm sending you the information about this individual."
"Jil, your current cover identity is still intact, a seasoned cargo pilot seeking new opportunities. Please resign from the Hercules. We've arranged for your transfer. You leave for New Jordan in three days. Remember, the previous information is classified. Discretion, Agent Jil."
The communication ended abruptly, leaving Jil staring at the blank screen. Her past, once entwined with the shadows of her district, now resurfaced in the form of a covert mission. With a deep breath, she closed her book, the routine disrupted by the looming assignment that awaited her on the Celestial Voyager.
Jil nodded, her mind already racing with the complexities of the mission. The lifter ship had been a refuge, a way to distance herself from the intensity of naval life, but duty called again.

Celestial Voyager, New Jordan
Jil stepped onto the deck of the Celestial Voyager, the hum of activity buzzing around her. Her eyes scanned the area, taking in the diverse crew bustling about their duties. The ship's captain, Valeria Zaytsev, a formidable figure with a commanding presence, approached Jil.
"Jilandra Broadenspec, I presume?" Captain Zaytsev extended a firm handshake, her sharp gaze assessing Jil with a discerning eye.
"Yes, Captain. Pleasure to be aboard," Jil replied, maintaining a composed demeanor.

OOC:
So, Jil left the Navy in mysterious circumstances and she doesn't want to talk about that. I'm going with the following: Jil is now an Undercover Operative. She kept that so secret, but so secret, that not even her player knew about it during character generation :D. Can we do that @ImperfectBeing? If you accept, receive Deception-1 as a bonus. If an Undercover Operative doesn't feels right for Jil, no problems, I can easily rewrite this post."Agent Jil, your service in the Navy has not gone unnoticed.
