The Galactic Adventures of Pierce Darkblade
You notice one of the ships that the Pachyderm is parked between, a large frigate with many modifications indicating this is owned by a private smuggler probably hauling spices to various systems illegally. You think he probably purchases the spices on trade stations such as these and runs them to other worlds with high demand.
You notice the ships docking ramp is down and no one seems to be around the area of the frigate. You think to yourself that sneaking on board for a look around wouldn't hurt.
You creepily tip toe your way up the ramp and peer around both corners, No one is around it seems. You begin to walk around the ship looking for what you believe are illegal spices. The ship is dimly lit and seems to be a bit weathered, standard for smugglers you think. Heading into the cargo area you see large crates marked "Rgolian Brew". Rgolian Brew is hardly illegal but this must be what the smuggler pretends he is shipping. You know their must be hidden compartments somewhere that hide the illegal items.
The cargo bay is too obvious for the hidden compartments, so you head toward the cockpit area checking the floors of the hallway as you go. In the hallway just before the cockpit you notice a groove along the floor. You dig your fingernails under the grooves and begin to lift up and just as you thought a metal panel lifts up, revealing a large compartment filled with cylindrical clear cases full of illegal spices. You jump down into the compartment next to some of the cylindrical cases to examine the spices further. Hmm...it seems to resemble a rust orange powder. You open the case and dip your finger into the powder, then touch it to your tounge. An intense sensation of heated flavor erupts in your mouth. Delicious! This is Magpepper, a scrumptious spice that is intensley hot and flavorful, illegal on several worlds due to the fact it is so tasty it runs other homegrown spices out of business! Plus the way Magpepper is manufactured borders on slave labor, but damn if it isn't delicious on roasted chicken!
Just as you put the lid back on the spice container you hear a couple human voices talking and footsteps coming towards you! You stayed on the ship too long, now there are people on the ship! You slide the metal flooring over you back into its original position, hiding within the compartment. You hear the footsteps as they come closer and closer eventually walking over you. They are now in the cockpit, at least two of them you gather.
"Alright we gotta hit another trade station on the way to the Zesh system, otherwise we're gonna be payin double on our fuel costs. 500 creds for hyper chargers is absolute shit. The Volturbs need to get out more." You hear a voice say.
"Hahaha. Yeah that'll be the day. Self absorbed pricks." a gruff voice replies.
You hear the ships engines start up. They are leaving the trade station! What do you do?
