Ash was overexcited about Eath joining the Intergalactic union. In her lifetime her home planet had gone from being alone in the universe. To meeting a few other races at once. And now they had been admitted into the greater universe. The space Elevator at Kilimanjaro had been completed, and a Catapult was built in the South America. Getting to space was now almost as easy as taking an international flight. Well, earth was now one planet in a much larger government. Some areas still held ontu there figure heads... The King of England and the ceremonial president of America were the only two of real note. The were even building an Onramp into the wormhole highway in orbit. Jump ships did come to earth, ferrying dignitaries, and the beginning of trade, but Jump Ships were expensive compared to Wormhole tansversal.
Now she might just become one of the few humans granted journey on a Jump Ship. She had applied for the job back when she was in high-school, and had since gotten her degree in Xenorelations. It was just an associates , but it gave her the basics of dealing with a lot of the universes species and cultures. Tens of thousands of young woman had applied for the position. But as videos of what the job actually intailed started to come through, 90% droped out of the database. Of the 10% left, only a few dozen had made it through Testing. And Ash was one of them. She was going to her final interview. This time on the jump ship. It was her first time in the black, and she was loving it. As excited as the apollo astronauts must have been.
Of coarse she had to dress slightly differntly then she ussualy did. Bulky clothes had no place in a crowded ship. Sure a jump ship would have more room then Space plane, but not a hell of a lot more. So she was in a tight Tshirt, and yoga pants for manuvering around in zero J. Of course once at Izzy, the new name for the International space station. Witch over the decade of alien contact had transformed from science station, to the World port. She started making her way down from the main ring, to a small ship. Showing her Ticket. The small ship was to take her to her interview, along with a few of the other girls that might be making the trip. She was smilling wide, thinking about her future, buckled in. It wasnt long before the shuttle manuvered over to the larger ship, Where all the girls were shown to the science deck, and made to wait till there names were called. Ash was not one of the first, and had no idea how many girls were going to be selected. This was the first time the breeding program would be tried in earnst. A few girls left the interview crying, before one marched out triumphant, 01 tattooed on her arm. It seemed like only one in three were coming out sucessful. And number 12 came out right before Ash went in.
