RE: A Traveller, a Cargo Hauler, and a Ship Dealer Walk Into a Bar

Sam: Yeah..I know about the attack.

He still seems uneasy as he heads over to his workbench, and sets down his shiney new aluminum case.

RE: A Traveller, a Cargo Hauler, and a Ship Dealer Walk Into a Bar

Alex sees Sam's uneasiness, but writes it off as none of his business.

Alex: I'll see you guys later. Off to get this stuff off my ship.

The ship soon lifts off and disappears into the city. Several hours pass before Alex returns. Alata has eaten, traversed the town, and returned already.

Alex enters to see two men have joined Sam in the shop, but they're standing around a different ship. Alata is sitting on a chair near a wall. The hole in her ship's wing is gone, though not yet painted over, and the landing gear is still missing. Alex walks over to Sam.

Alex: Hey.

Sam looks over his shoulder.

Sam: Oh, hey.

He turns around, wipes his hands on a rag, and tosses it on the floor.

Sam: Got your hole fixed. Not that big of a deal. But... I don't have Coyote landing gear in stock. I need to get some straight from the factory. It'll be a couple days.

Alex grumbles.

Alex: Did you put in the order?
Sam: Not yet. Why?
Alex: I'll go get one myself and bring it back.

Sam shrugs.

Sam: It'll cost you more. Anyway, I'll get the wing primed in a little while and paint it tomorrow.
Alex: Alright. Thanks.

Sam notices the sun going down over the horizon, and the tall lights around the dealership flickered on.

Sam: You guys got anyware to stay the night?
Alex: Uh..My ship is usually where I stay.
Sam: Well, if you want, you're welcome to stay at my place. I've got plenty of room.
Alex: Sleeping in a house? That's a new concept, but sure.
Sam: Hey, Dave. Close up when you guys are done. Try to get that Supra started if you can. If you can't, I'll take a look at it tommorow.

Dave and Carl both nod and head back to work.

Sam turns to Alex, who is now accompanied by Alata. He waves his hand, inviting them to come as he heads outside the shop. He walks over to a Vansid Ground Manufacturers "CXR-3." He climbs in, and soon after alex and Alata also get in. He starts up the engine, and the vehicle lifts about a foot off the ground, and he starts off down the road. After driving for about five minutes or so, he pulls up to a small, but rather nice home. A steel hatch on the ground opens up, and there's a ramp heading down into what seemed to be an underground garage. He drives down it, and shuts the CXR. It slowly lowers back onto the ground. He hops out and hits a button, the lights turn on, and the hatch closes. He opens a door, and heads up the steps into his house.

Sam: Coming?

Alata: Yeah, yeah. I'm coming.

She said as she followed him up the steps. Her hands lifted to start undoing one of her braids. She would go to sleep in one of the rooms when able to.

Alex looks around, following Sam up the stairs.

Alex: Probably been three years since I stayed in a house... and that wasn't the greatest of experiences, either.

Alex glances around the house as they enter.

Sam: Well, I'm bushed, so I'm off to bed. You guys can use the rooms upstairs.
Alex: Okay. Thanks.

They head off to their respective bedrooms and go to sleep. The next morning, Alex and Sam get up around the same time.

Sam: I'm off to get my ship today. You comin'?
Alex: Uh. Cargo hauler with a little railgun. What am I supposed to do?

RE: A Traveller, a Cargo Hauler, and a Ship Dealer Walk Into a Bar

Sam: You shoot.
Alex: ..Oh.

A giant hand comes down from the sky and hits the ">>" button on the "Daireem" VCR. They're now all back at Sam's shop. After throwing a quick coat of paint on Alata's ship, they start packing up their stuff. Sam sets his aluminum case in the cargo area of his Reaver. Sam looks at Alex for a moment, then at the cargo ship.

Sam: ..Yeah. That's kind of big. There's a list of ships on wall upstairs, the key rack is next to it. Go pick out something.

Sam does any last adjustments he has to to his ship, since it was damaged. He then starts loading up the two pods.

Alex heads upstairs and takes a look at the list. He opts for a Ziljing B23, a highly maneuverable, but slow, ship designed to lay down a lot of fire in one area. He grabs the key and heads out into the lot. He hops into the ship and brings it over to the shop, which Samuel's Reaver is rising out of. Alex turns on the private comm channel.

Alex: I plan on doing as much damage to that base as I can before we get out of there.

Sam: Fine with me. But I'm stopping at the store again briefly. You two find a place outside the base and get set up. Radio me with your coordinates.
Alex: Right.
Sam: ..And make sure Alata is on the right channel this time.
Alata: ....I am.

Sam takes off in one direction, while the other two head off in another. Sam lands by the same shop as the day before and heads inside. He comes out after about fifteen minutes, and sets another case in the cargo area with hsi other. On his belt, next to his holocommunicator was now an Orion Personal Defense Shield He hopped back into his reaver and went off in their direction, listening for them over the radio.

RE: A Traveller, a Cargo Hauler, and a Ship Dealer Walk Into a Bar

Alex performs a few drills on the way there to get a feel for the ship. To Alex's liking, the ship has a 360 degree field of view. A blip appears on his radar and he looks behind. It's Sam in his Reaver.

Alex: Welcome back.

At this point, they have just arrived at the airbase.

Alex: Time for the fireworks?

RE: A Traveller, a Cargo Hauler, and a Ship Dealer Walk Into a Bar

Sam: No. I'm not risking blowing that ship up, or that's a major loss on my part. I'm landing on the outskirts and going in to get my ship.

He finds a small clearing about three-quarters of a mile outside the base. He lands his reaver, and is soon joined by Alex and Alata. Sam flips a switch and the large hatch opens. He hops out and heads back to his cargo area. He unlocks the hatch and flips it open. He pulls out the smaller of the two cases, and pulls out his Perrenor TechSystems Satyr. Inside the case was also several energy cells, which he loaded onto a specially-made belt, and he threw the belt over his shoulder. He loaded one of the energy cells onto the Satyr. Still sitting in the cargo area, was another, much larger case.
