Alfonso "Fonzie" Caprio

[Zapp]

He was rudely jostled awake, and forced into confining and demeaning shackles, which imprisoned both wrists and ankles, each restraint connecting to a small panel that was about three inches off his chest, which held the locking/unlocking mechanism. He was all but frog-marched to the docking area, which he had never seen before, and into an Armored Transport. Four Eagles sprang to life, their sinister forms almost smiling in maniacal glee of the chance to do destruction. All five ships hovered and launched, while Caprio was shoved into the cargo compartment and told curtly to stay put. He sneered after the retreating back of the guard, who stationed himself by the door, as if Caprio was about to jump up and attempt to flee.

The ship streaked through space, the noise of the cruise engines loud in the cargo bay, which was not insulated against the sound or jarring vibrations. Soon it stopped, only to be replaced by the lurching of a jump. Then, silence. The cruise engines started up again, and so it continued, until (by the number of jumps, as Caprio figured) they were in the Honshu system.
