You Remember The Last Time This Happened, Right?

"Hey there Hamilton. I'm getting an error reading, are you?"

"Yes, Its X30. I have no idea what that is." Replies Hamilton.

Captain Garson interrupts, "X30 is a fuel issue. Scoops. Purifier system. We didn't use them on planet and kept the system closed. Leoso and I did the preflight and they were closed. But, it is possible something got in there."

"HEEEEEEEYYYYY!! This happened on our other ship! Leoso, do you remember what happened last time?"

Leoso replies, "Yes, we found a body. Or rather you did."

"Well crap, I guess we should go see what it is." Replies Hamilton.

Mr. Creek announces, "Dammit. Hamster, you and Leoso suit up and check it out."

Captain Garson interjects, "There's an access panel in the cargo hold. That way you don't have to go in through the lower engineering crawlway. I'll be down in a second to show you."

First, you’ll have to move a bit of cargo around to get at the access point. Olga in out of view getting it ready to move. Cargo moves on rails front and back and side to side. In normal space, you can just cut the gravity but you have to be extra careful as momentum could have it squish someone. You can also see the cold sleep chamber and the restroom across from it. 





It takes a bit of cargo shifting to get at the access panel.



Leoso pulls out a tranquilizer gun. "Go ahead and open it. Hey, you're the engineer, not me!"

buzzzzzzzz buzzzzzzz the screws come out from the driver. Open the panel and shine your light in. At first you don’t see anything, but yes, towards the back of the ship. There is someone asleep. Looks small…

Leoso says,”Well, looks like you caught your first stowaway. Mr.Creek, we got a kid taking a free ride. Olga, we may need your help down here.” 

Indeed he looks to be about 13 years old. He is unconscious and Olga takes him to the autodoc.  

Hamilton full of questions, "We know where he is from? Last planet? Or some place else?

Stowaway from the spaceport/dock/thing?"

Olga,”Well, when he regains consciousness, you can ask him.” 

When he wakes up, he says he is from Marastan, which you just left. He’s been hiding in there for awhile. So he had ample time to sneak aboard. He’s small enough a preflight inspection would miss him. But he moved around and triggered an alert. His parents are missing since a riot a few days before you left. 

Mr.Creek says, “Standard procedure is to turn him over to SPA (spaceport authority) on arrival. they will take care of him and send him back most likely. In the old days, they’s space them. Fuel and air were carefully calculated. There was no room for stowaways.” 

Hamster replies,"Well it’s not the old days anymore. Hope you enjoyed the ride, kid."

“confine him to sick baying we’ll turn him over asap.”
