iniquitous

In the far reaches of the galaxy, a lone bounty hunter named Kira traversed the stars in search of her next mark. She was one of the best in the business, feared and respected by all who knew her. But despite her reputation, Kira struggled with a deep sense of morality that often left her questioning the very nature of her profession.

It had been a long and grueling journey for Kira, filled with danger and uncertainty. She had taken on countless jobs, capturing notorious criminals and bringing them to justice. But with each successful mission, Kira found herself increasingly conflicted. She couldn't help but wonder if her actions were truly right or if she was simply doing what she had to do to survive in a harsh and unforgiving universe.

As she flew her ship through the darkness of space, Kira's thoughts drifted back to her most recent job. She had been tasked with capturing a notorious smuggler who had been terrorizing the outer rim. The bounty on his head was high, and Kira knew that capturing him would bring her a handsome reward. But as she tracked him down and finally caught him, she couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt wash over her. The smuggler had begged for mercy, claiming that he was only trying to provide for his family. Kira had ignored his pleas and turned him over to the authorities, but the memory of his desperate cries still haunted her.

As Kira pondered the nature of her work, she received a new assignment. A powerful warlord had put out a bounty on a group of rebels who had been causing havoc throughout the galaxy. Kira knew that taking on this job would bring her immense wealth and prestige. She couldn't help but wonder if she was willing to sacrifice her own values for the sake of a few credits. Kira decided to bury those thoughts, instead choosing to focus on the task at hand.

Kira, unfortunately she was only good at one thing and couldn't let thoughts of what was right or wrong distract her in a cruel and unforgiving galaxy. She knew from experience that those types of distractions are how you end up dead.

In the end, Kira decided to take on the job. She spent three days tracking down the rebels to a barren asteroid, they were clearly no threat. Ragged and dirty with basic weaponry, just trying to survive the cruel warlord. But she had no choice, especially because she had already taken the job. She drew her weapon and engaged them in a fierce battle. In the end, Kira emerged victorious, but she couldn't shake the feeling that she had made a grave mistake.

In the beginning Kira did not struggle with her conscience, it's easy to do when you are starving and come from nothing. But she has become successful, suddenly she has time to think. Once again she buries her thoughts and locks in the coordinates to the warlords mansion on her ships control panel.

She arrived at her destination and reported her success. The warlord gave out a guttural laugh and handed her the bounty with a complement at her celerity. Kira just gave a nod and left hastily, choosing to not take another bounty.

Kira strapped herself into her ship and set out with no destination in particular. Deciding that she needed some time to think, she suddenly found herself at the asteroid where she fought the rebels.

There were ten of the warlords soldiers scouring through the wreckage of the camp making sure Kira finished the job. Suddenly there was screaming from one of the tents. The soldiers were dragging a little girl by the leg, "Missed one." the leader said as they aimed their rifles at her. Before Kira could think she reacted, firing on the soldiers.

After the battle with a wounded arm where she took a shot Kira walked over to the girl. Kira offered a hand, but the girl was terrified. "We need to go, more will come." Kira said forcefully.

With the girl in tow, Kira launched her ship at max speed into unknown space. Kira knew her life was going to get rough, but what was done is done, she thought. She entered the coordinates for a planet outside of the warlords reach, someone there owes her a favor. To Kira's surprise, despite the circumstances she felt good about what she was doing. Regardless of the madness of the past few days Kira felt ready to take on the galaxy, because for the first time in her life she had something other than herself to fight for.
