"Alright, we're going to Europa. Hopefully no one has got our little piggy yet," Hammer said sarcastically.
He entered the coordinates for the jump gate and set the autopilot. They would reach it in a matter of minutes and reach Europa in a few hours, after paying the toll of course...

" Hammer what the heck you got to eat on this bird? I'm hungry. Plus what the heck you got for entertainment? I'm bored." With that Bob finishes off the last of his beer.

"Check the galley," Hammer said as he leaned back in his chair and rested his eyes.

With that Bob leaves the other men to go and find some grub. " I hope Hammer has somethin good to eat. Or at least somethin good to drink."

In the cargo bay, hiding behind a pile of boxes, crouched a woman. She looked back and forth warily, praying no one would stumble upon her.
Her name was Lexie Armstrong and she was 23 years old, although she was often mistaken as a teenager. Her hair was burgandy and reached her waist, though it way currently wrapped in a bun atop her head. Her eyes were deep blue, the look of a million oceans crashing together at once.
Lexie had been hiding on this ship for many hours. She was beginning to have a nicotine fit. She wanted badly to light up and take a deep drag, but was afraid someone would come by and notice the smoke.
Rising, Lexie stretched her cramped arms and legs. When standing, Lexie was 5'7 and had a supple body. Her legs were long and luscious. Currently she wore a pair of snug black jeans and a white tank top with spaghetti straps.
Lexie looked around once more before her curiosity overcame her. She began to wander around the cargo bay, rudely rifling through boxes. She didn't even give thought to the idea that she might at any moment be caught.

BZZZZ! went a small switch as light lit up.
"What the?" Hammer said as he checked it,"Movement in the cargo bay? I better check this out. That gut better not be messing with my cargo."
He got up and exited the cockpit, heading for the cargo bay...

Lexie tensed when she heard someone approaching the cargo bay doors.
'D**n,' she thought. 'Caught so soon.'
Quickly, Lexie squeezed behind a huge crate, and pressed herself firmly against the wall. Her hand snaked down to one of her revolvers and she clasped the saddlewood grip.
The antique guns been a gift from her father soon after he'd wronged the Syndicate. The day he'd given them to her was the last day she'd ever seen him alive. She could still remember the final words he'd spoken to her. "Run, my Lexie. Don't let the Syndicate take you from this life."
She had never found out what her father had done to receive the wrath of the Syndicate, but by the time they were through with him, he couldn't have an open casket funeral.
Lexie pushed all these thoughts from her head as she waited.

Vic sat up suddenly as he snapped back into conciousness. The mixture of impatience and boredom he had felt must have made him fall asleep. He looked around and noticed that both Hammer and Bob had disappeared. "Yo, Hammer?" No answer. "Bob?" No answer from him either. Scanning his surroundings again, he noticed a blinking light on the console in front of him. He knew just about enough to realize that this indicated something about the cargo bay. Maybe I can find those guys there... Vic stood up and decided to go check it out.

Lexie decided to take a chance and crept from her hiding spot. No one had appeared in the cargo bay yet, and she felt safe enough to poke around a bit more.
She breifly considered stealing one of the jumpers that were stored here, but figured the attempt would be useless. Most jumpers were built these days to only respond to the owner. She would be unable to bypass voice activated computers without her own hacking equipment.
Sighing, Lexie turned away from the jumpers and glanced around the cargo bay for something else she might be able to find a use for.

"Hammer?" Vic called out as he walked the halls. "Bob?" He had the sinking feeling that he'd gotten himself lost somehow. Dammit, where the hell are those two... Soon he came to a door marked Cargo Bay. Hrrm... I expected to find them here... Maybe I weaved around to the back way or something. Ah well... Maybe they're inside. Vic opened the door and, walking inside, spotted a woman poking around the cargo with he back turned to him. "Can I help you find anything in particular, miss?" he asked slyly, despite being caught by surprise.

Spinng around Lexie gaped at the man who had just entered the Cargo Bay. Quickly she whipped one of her revolvers out of its holster and pointed it at him.
"Don't move," Lexie ordered, "Or I'll be forced to..." Here she faultered. Did she really want to kill this man who had thus far done nothing to her? Swallowing, she sneered "Or... I'll blow your head off!"

Vic got a little nervous with a gun aimed in his direction and the smile faded from his face momentarily. He stopped moving entirely and looked directly into the woman's face, letting a confident smirk crawl across his features again. It wasn't as if he'd never dealt with a situation like this before. Though, to be fair, his attacker had never been quite as pretty. "Hey, hey... nobody's gotta get hurt, here. So why don't you put that gun down and we'll go get a cup of coffee?" He watched her reaction for any signs of hostility and thought about the gun he kept inside his coat. He really hoped he wouldn't have to use it.

Lexie's hand shook. The barrel of the gun began to jerk back and forth. She wanted to trust this man but she'd had too many run ins with bad people to take a chance.
"I... I don't want to kill you... but... how can I trust you?" Lexie whispered. "I had to get off that planet. The Syndicate is after me."
