I approve of this writing. I've a few minor criticisms - there's no need for the possessive apostrophe in "it's" - but generally speaking you're getting the narrative moving along nicely and quickly without losing characterisation. Also (and massive kudos for this) you're managing to use a future-y, sci-fi theme without it being gratuitously 'D&D geek wanking'.

I don't know about anyone else, but I absolutely hate when people treat sci-fi as a complete break with humanity in writing - I like to think the idea of a novel(la) is more about conveying human things rather than avoiding being able to create characters.

But yes - well done that man.
