Marilyn Lee Cross caused multiple conflicts in this story. Even though
she caused problems she wasn't a bad person. The first conflict all
started when she stowed away on the EDS ship which the law specifically
states that if there are any stowaways the pilot of the EDS must
jettison or throw away the stowaway into space. The reason for which you
will figure out is that there is only enough fuel in the EDS to carry
the cargo and the pilot. Adding any extra weight will cause the EDS to
ultimately run out of fuel causing both the pilot and the stowaway to
die.
An officer (police officer) is someone who fights against crime, and helps prevent it from happening. A criminal starts crime, and causes trouble for the police officers.
