h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

CAPTAIN : *Says nothing about the impudent use of bad language to an officer of the law, but makes a mental note of it.*

So the child is the son of the warmonger Mannen then. Why has Charran brought him here?

*Jo'tra runs into the space port and makes his way to Landing Bay KA446*

*he looks over the ship*

< No... I'll be gone in half an hour, I was going to ask you if you'd wanted it done now or preferred to wait>

*Gurrin Retas appears from behind a stack of crates.*

*Sizes up the stranger standing at the gate to the Landing Bay.*

GURRIN : *Nods.* You must be Jo'tra, Ander's friend. Come aboard, I'll give you a run through of the controls.

*Walks up the ramp, into the ship.*

*follows him on board*

*In Police HQ;*
*sighs as though it's obvious*
Because Arras isn't part of the Repulic,which is at war with Kamino, hence with Mannan,so this is one of the safest places for the baby. Honestly,did you think Anoon would want that crazy b*st**d around her son?Get real;the girl nearly skewered me when I said I was his aunt!

<

!What have you done?!>

< ??? >

*Captain is getting p***ed off at Lorelei's attitude. Thinks that she would probably benefit from a couple of days solitary in the smelliest cell he could find. Then thinks about the paperwork involved and decides that she is, in fact, just a loud-mouthed nobody and is no threat to Arras.*

CAPTAIN : Right, you're free to go. But be warned, if you get in any more trouble while you're here I will personally lock you up in the darkest hole I can find and post the keys to the other side of the Galaxy. Understand?

When you pay the fine your ship will be released.

*Flips on the communicator.*

Lieutenant, Get in here and get this woman out of my sight.

/\/LIEUTENANT : Yes, sir.\/
*The door opens and the Lieutenant waits.*

*the Charnah takes off*

*stands and walks past Lieutenant*
*calls over shoulder*Lovely meeting you,we should do it again some time.Over coffee maybe.

*leaves HQ without waiting for the lieuteneant to "escort" her out*

Okay...The Sky's still impounded,which probably means no boarding,so unless I go into the city now it's back to the old survive-with-only-the-clothes-on-your-back for a while at Ancha's...
*shrugs*
It's only 500 credits.
*makes for the city*

*appraoches cop cautiously*

...hi.My ship's been impounded.I want to pay for it's release.My name's Lorelei Ga'fen.
