This is really enjoyable, and fun to read. I think it's really impressive that this little snippet is enough for the reader to really care about the characters, and it can almost stand alone as a short story. I think there might be a few minor changes you could make to the first couple of paragraphs, just to make it flow a bit better. I think that you would almost be better off splitting the first sentence into several, "Jennifer Sweet stepped off the shuttle" would be a good first line on its own. Maybe you should take a bit more time in introducing the backstory, like instead of just stateing immediately she lived on Vega 5, maybe bring it up later on? Take these suggestions with a grain of salt, though, the story is great as is, and I don't always know what I'm talking about. Your dialogue is really believeable,
(sorry, I hit submit before I was finished) and I you did a great job making characters' personalities obvious in the way they spoke. Awesome story!
