First day on the job

Wow journal, I never thought I would say this but it's good to be away from my home on Moon Base 5. I finally convinced my mom to let me search for a job. I found a boy about the age of 18 putting a help wanted sign. I ran up to him. "Hey. Whats the job?" I said a bit to eager. "Huh? Oh that. Well I decided I needed an extra hand to help with my maps." He replied. His name was Jimbo. Probably named after his race. I quickly signed my name and ran to tell ma. But when I reached home, my house was all up in flames with my ma crying outside. Some burgles had broken in and set it alight. About 3 hours later I told my mom about the job. " What is the job?" she asked sweetly. Oh great, I accepted a job I had no idea what it was about. I ran off to Jimbo. He was by a...a... Spaceship. The shocking truth came to like a bullet in the heart. I had signed up for one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. A galaxy mapper.
