BennGorde carries the human over his shoulder to our ship, drawing a few curious looks from the intergalactic traders who choke the market. I knew the second we saw her Gorde was going to want her. Who wouldn’t?
She’s incredibly beautiful, even with the ridiculous mud-job she did to disguise her hair. It’s pale blonde—the color of moonlight, which makes her exceedingly valuable. Humans have interbred so long there are few humans with anything but brown color hair. Red-haired and blonde human females sell for at least three times as much. So do particularly dark-skinned or light-skinned females—any unusual trait sells for more.
Her eyes, too, are a striking color. Pale blue-green. The color of the crystal lakes on Zandia. The ones I’ve only seen on old holos.
Soon, we’ll be back ho
