Being the Deck Chief on a space-station often has Taross seen moving about here and there between merchants and travelers on the more public dock. Often yelling at them because they ignored docking instructions or blocking others while loading and unloading. Often enough shi needs to leverage hir more innate skunktaur talents to get ornery captains to back down when they think they can bully their way to the front of a repairs list.
Little do people know that the station has a second flight deck. A private bay that houses the stations owners' personal vessels, some private shuttles and utility crafts. Some of which have a very carefully cultivated look of dings and scuffs while hiding a rather sophisticated interior or a fairly exotic loadout. Not only do these vessels require expertise to maintain, but often also require a little bit of creativity to get into the smaller nooks and hotter crannies.
Thing is though, sometimes someone will eventually find their way where they really shouldn't. And if you're lucky, the security will ping before you get too far in and some of the friendly station staff will escort you out while you can pretend that you just accidentally took a wrong turn. If you're not being malicious you'll likely just be confined to your ship and watched until you leave.
If you're not... well... you may find yourself running into someone who much rather be doing hir job. You can try and talk your way out of it, specially when you got the feeling that all four foot six of dragonkin is easily talked past or overpowered. Until you realize; diminutive or not, some draconic traits run deep.
