Stoner Steve and the Quest for the Cheesy Poof

.:j:.Yabba.Dabba.Doo, Salvage Operations, Humboldt System

It had been about a week since the crew of the Yabba Dabba Doo picked Steve up from his wreck of a ship. He had been paid for the value of his scrapped ship, minus the salvage fee, which amounted to almost the entire payment for the wreck. Low on credits Steve signed on as a crew member of the Salvager and quickly found himself as the ships pilot, on the night shift.

The salvager was a beast to fly compared to other transports, luckily the skipper spent more time down in the chop shop watching the work than commenting on Steves handling of the ship. The Yabba Dabba Doo slowed, turned sharply and dropped down above their target. The CSV was pulled into the hold. The official line was they had been paid to collected the pilot and co-pilot bodies for the families. The rumor mill in the dining hall was vastly different. From the reasonably sane, to the insane. Steven even heard a rumor that the Arbiter had paid the Skipper to keep an eye on something.

Steve tuned back in as the whole ship shuttered. The main cargo doors must have just closed. Doing a pre-flight check before the skipper returned served to make him look busy when the old man walked in, and allowed the filtration system to pull the smell of the pipe out of the room.

The bulkhead slid open and the Skipper entered the bridge. A heavy set man of 55 years of age moved slowly to the pilots console, leaning on his cane as he came to a stop behind Steve he gruffly stated, ”Take us back to Vieques.” Pete then handed Steve a data pad. ”At the end of your shift go visit Betty in accounting. I’m ending your probation, welcome aboard, Betty will explain the whole crew member package. But what you’ll be interested in the shares and dividend payments.” Pete laughed loudly and walked off of the bridge to his quarters. Steve looked down at the pad as Pete walked away.

Steve leaned back in the pilot's chair and tapped the data pad on the console. Perhaps being a hired hand wouldn’t be so bad after all. Glancing at the ships status screen Steve entered the commands to return the salvager to its home port.
