Well, keep in mind that all Ms. Crane did was look at you funny before you called her a bitch. I think technically Noa's the one that opened hostilities here.
Besides, this isn't a corporation. Hieronymus Rosso is a shady, sleazy man with his fingers in a lot of less-than-reputable pies. Basically, he's a space mobster, running the station as a front for his other more criminal dealings. Thus the contents of the cargo you delivered, that Noa discovered weren't exactly teddy bears and lollipops.
I guarantee you'll meet a lot more scumbags before the end of this game.
