Sypriel finally made it to the senator's villa, as he called it. He had to search for several hours around the city to find the correct starport... It had been annoying. The building wasn't as Sypriel had imagined it. At all. They called it a villa, but Sypriel would call it a 'shack'.
They Tycoon was coming in close, and Sypriel was waiting by the door. The screen in the corner of the part he was in showed the forward camera feed. He leaned up against the door, which was a bad idea, as the door slid open very quickly. He fell out and rolled a few good feet, amoungst brush and other vegetation. He stood up and looked for the tycoon, which was already very far away.
"Damn it" he said as he began walking toward the shack.

Hunter sighed. "I knew we shouldn't have taken that turn!" he said, slapping himself. "Why didn't I listen to myself?" he said.
Hiroshi sighed. "Idiot." he said before going back to sleep. Hunter ignored him.
They were adrift out of port.

The crash wasn't the best thing in the world. The thruster dampners had given out at the change of air pressure, another glitch the techs had probably overlooked, and had forced Auron Shyon to crashland her ship. It was only by a stroke of pure luck that the engine and the turbothrusters hadn't caught on fire, or Zeta I would have the world's largest forestfire.
Auron had been forced to cut her way out of the melted cockpit, and now she was sore, burned, and irritible. She kicked a pebble with her foot and felt like punching a tree. Which she almost did. A quick check revealed that communications were pretty much dead except for the occasional static.
This was not one of her best days.
She sighed, then considered. She could call for help, or find her own way out. Normally, she would have chosen the latter, except... There were predators in the rainforest. She'd be lucky if she attracted the help of a traveler or jungle prospector. She'd be dead if she attracted the 'help' of a native wolf-dog pack who would think of her no more than a giant, crunchy appetizer.
She cleared her throat. "Um, hello??!!" she called. "Anybody out there?!"

Hunter smiled. "Yes!" he said, watching as the ship landed. Breaking some trees, the ship took a place in the clearing it had made.
Hunter opened the hatch and walked out, followed by Hiroshi and Riko. He held the package with him, and looked about. Soon he heard a voice, and Hiroshi, hearing a girl, ran off in the direction. Hunter slapped himself in the face and followed.

She really hadn't expected such a quick response. Through the thick canopy of the trees, she saw a ship approching and make it's own private landing pad just south of her's. Instictivly, she leveled her pistil at the spot they would be coming out of. She took a few steps behind the wing of her ship for cover.
"Show yourself!" she snapped. Her voice, strict and profession, did not reveal that she was trembling, or that she was scared for her life.

The trio came out of the brush and entered the area. They were all armed, but none of their weapons were drawn. Hiroshi, spotting her, ran over and grabbed her hands. "My how..." he couldn't even get out a single sentance before Hunter kicked him in the torso.
"Idiot." he spat. "Sorry, he's a flirt. My name is Kazador, but you may call me Hunter, The flirtatious friend is Hiroshi Nerozumi, and my last friend is Riko Savarless." Hunter explained.

Auron unconsciously wiped her palms on her jeans after replacing her weapon on her belt. Under normal conditions, she would have glared at Hiroshi, but she seemed paralyzed at the sight of these men who looked as though they could take down a ship barehanded. She managed a slight, apprehensive smile. "My ship's broke," she said unnecessarily. "It gave out on my just above the atmosphere."
She cleared her throat quickly. "Is there a nearby town or villa somewhere where I can spend the night? I need to contact my su--my father. Sorry. My brain's a bit fried right now." She shrugged. Inside, she groaned. Some Rebel she was! If she had told them about her superiors and they were with the Imperials, she'd be thrown in a cell block father than you could say "oops."

Riko smiled. "Do you think we work for anyone when we're not even wearing a uniform of any kind? Whatever. Anyway, you can come with us to the next town. We have to deliver a package." he said.
Hunter and Hiroshi were busy, Hunter pulverizing Hiroshi unconscious. He did that a little too much. Hiroshi, trying to stop the pummeling, suddenly took out the math for the problem they were arguing about earlier. "IT'S POSSIBLE!"
"IDIOT! It's impossible to pierce that type of armor!" Hunter said, taking the bait. He raised up his hands and took the paper. "You have incorrect answers on this paper!" he said. Hunter copied the problems and began doing them on the back, while Hiroshi slipped away to talk to Auron again.

"Um..." Auren looked at the three, then determined that this was probably how the eleven-year-olds acted. Riko, at least, seemed respectable enough to approach. Before she could cut him off and just ask for directions so she wouldn't trouble them, Hiroshi slipped away and stood at her elbow, smiling like a mad scientist. Auron flashed him another one of her apprehensive smiles.
"So who's the package for?" she asked offhandedly. "I have a meeting here, anyway, and it might be for some stiff guy I'll probably see at the conference table. Y'know... the guys that look all professional, with their noses up in the air and the pressed pinestripe suits..." She shrugged and grinned.

Hunter shrugged. "I actually forgot." he said, continuing to work on the problems, not noticing that Hiroshi was gone.
Hiroshi smiled and walked back over to Hunter, getting enough of a look. Meanwhile, Riko bowed. "I believe it's the Senator. We were told who it was to be delivered to, but we weren't told what was inside, and we were told not to look." he said. "Makes ya think it's some embarassing secret."

Auron cocked her head slightly with an amused grin. "You'll figure out soon enough that every political being has a dirty little secret."
"Actually, I have some business with the Senator if you want me to deliver it for you. I can't pay you, cuz I'm broke, but I could do this errand for you."

Riko shook his head. "If we do that then you'll get payed instead of us. And we just met you." he said, shaking his finger. "But you may come with us." he suggested, turning to the two fighting.
Hunter growled. "DAMNIT! How can you be right?!" he said, slamming the paper into Hiroshi's chest. "That's just not right!"
Hiroshi stook out his tongue. "Sore loser." he taunted, smiling.
Hunter growled and walked over to a stone to sit down as Hiroshi began dancing the "In your face" dance he was so famous for. It was actually organized, so it didn't look like a stupid display.

Auron quickly decided these were the most insane people she had ever met.
Clucking her tongue against the roof of her mouth in dismay, she quickly brought her red hair behind her and secured it with a rubber band. "Let's get moving, then," she said. "If the stories are true, we want to get out of the forest before the predators eat us up. I bet we'll taste like nothing more than a chewy appetizer with a crunchy center. Which way?"

Riko took out a map and pointed north, then turned to his two companions. "Guys, we're going." he said, and the two walked over, Hunter still a little mad. The three began walking north, and Riko took out a flask of beer.
Hiroshi stopped and turned to look at Auron. He smiled and walked over, but didn't get the chance, as Hunter slammed him in the back of the head. He rubbed it then continued walking, knowing he had lost that battle.
