Specifically: reminding passengers to fasten their belts
Every great career starts with something small and for Yasha it started as small as humanly possible. After 3 months of strict abdominal training he was finally assigned to his first job as a flight attendant for a space shuttle circulating between Earth and Mars.
Everybody knows the importance of tightening your seat belt during regular flights but in space travels that requirement becomes crucial. It's been over a 100 years since the discovery that tight-belting has a collosal effect on the human well-being during heavy atmospheric pressure.
Before the tight-belting era the spaceship crew had to consist of superhumans who trained for years just to not die during the launch. It was on June 6, 2101, when one of the astronauts pressed the belt-tightening button for too long and the belt choked him almost to the backbone. His trained body was able to bear that much pressure and he even liked it, but he liked it so much more when all the ill effects of the launch completely avoided him, while all the rest of the crew looked like ghosts and zombies...
This discovery had helped the mankind to travel all the way to Mars at greatly increased speed, taking slightly less than 11 days for the entire flight in one direction for regular people. Some special corsets allowed to shrink it down to just 62 hours but required some SSS tier equipment and dedicated 24/7 training for 9-10 weeks to achieve the required compression.
For Yasha becoming a special agent able to space travel at ludicrous speed was still the future, for now he was just a steward attending simple flights to field test his new skill. Though he didn't want to lie to himself, his waist did look and feel pretty damn good already and the passengers didn't need to be asked twice to fasten their belts with such a gorgeous steward around.
P.S. An example of how something small can change the whole picture! When making this I thought damn that hair makes him look like Anakin Skywalker, at first this was going to be a school scene like "hey I'm secretly a wasp lol.." but after that realization just had to rework everything into sci-fi environment and then the story somehow popped up XD
