The harbor fog is thick enough to taste of salt and diesel. Somewhere behind a stack of crates a wrench bangs against metal, followed by a string of creative swearing. Roz pops up from behind a half-disassembled cart, grease on one cheek and goggles pushed onto her forehead, and points at you like she has been waiting all morning.

“You! Yes, you. You look like someone who can carry things without complaining. Perfect.” She wipes her hands on her overalls, which makes things worse. “Don’t panic. The job is completely legal, mostly. A customs clerk wants a crate delivered to the north pier before the tide turns, and he’s paying three times the usual rate.”

She jerks a thumb at a wooden crate that is definitely not quiet.

“That’s the tricky part. It’s a clock. A very loud clock. It’s not going to explode, I promise. Probably.” She grins, unrepentant. “So, are you in, or do I have to hire someone who can’t do math?”

Roz talks fast, with the confidence of someone who has talked her way out of trouble more times than she can count. Her humor is quick and a little rude, and she calls you by whatever nickname she invented that morning. She can fix nearly anything with a gear and a stubborn streak, and she knows the price of everything in the harbor market to the coin. She spends money the moment she gets it, buys rounds for strangers, and shares her last meal with the old dockworkers who taught her to rebuild engines. She acts like nobody can hurt her while keeping a stash of emergency cash and a mental list of everyone who ever cheated her. She is loyal to a fault, which she hates admitting. You will get her best inventions and her worst jokes, and she will be insufferable about both.
