One To Watch

The job posting, by being the oldest, was the first one you saw on the message board.

"Please find my watch!"

Newbie independent contractors or those just coming on board would see it, take the job, search for a few hours around the captain's quarters, come up empty, give up. It became the running gag of the station.

Until she disembarked the starferry.

She read the job, and tracked down the poster, and asked a simple question, and had the watch back in twenty minutes.

No-one else thought to check if it wasn't technically his watch yet, but the captain's.
