Smuggling days

<snip>
Igor Bonely was standing on the loading ramp.
<endsnip>
Who: Kevn, Rico, & Igor
where: landing bay for Boomer 7
when: Rico began sweating...
"Ah yes! My good pal Rico! How's business?" Igor said.
"Nnn... not bad. Just came back from a shipment." Rico stuttered.
Kevn left to his sleeping quarters. "I've never seen that guy
before... Who is he?" Igor eyed Kevn as he left.
"Just a pilot. A really good pilot." Rico tried to draw Igor's
attention away from Kevn.
"So thats the guy responsible for our raise in profits."
"Y... yes..." Rico said.
Then Igor faced Rico, "I've got some bad news for ya Rico. We're
taking over the business."
"What! But... you can't!" Rico said in disbelief.
"Either ya give us this dump easily... or we we can delcare a
hostile take-over, catch my drift?"
"Why?" Rico asked.
"Simple! I wan't more money, and since your current raise in profit
it was simple. Get rid of you and I get your 20%..."
"But..."
"No buts! Leave now. And tell that hot shot over there he's workin'
for me now."
"You can't... He's not one of your's 'I' hired him." Rico said.
"Well 'I' fired you, and 'I' get him!"
"Fine... You win Bonely..." Rico then went after Kevn.
When: a few minutes later
Rico told Kevn about the situation.
"What do we do?" Kevn asked.
Rico held the card with the startup code for the Boomer 7.
The plan was simple: Rico would be hiding among the "cargo" while
Kevn flew the ship to Mars. After that they ditch the ship and take
the first shuttle to Neptune. It sounded simple...
Where: the Boomer 7 in orbit around Phobos (Mars' moon)
when: the plan had been going smoothly.
Kevn lurched the ship foreward, "Time to land this sucker." he
pressed the microphone button, "Okay ladies and gents we're going to
be landing in a moment so hang on tight."
Meanwhile Rico wore a raggy cloak to make himself blend in with the
rest of the passengers. One passenger in perticular was strange, he
snarled every now and then and spoke in an alien language. Rico
didn't mind though, the only thing that did bother him was the
stench eminating of the man's body, it was obvious he wasn't human.
Rico still didn't pay any attention to him. Because two large men in
rags were scanning the cargo bay.
Soon they landed on a secluded platform, two men awaited them. Kevn
greeted them and told them their packages were safe and then went to
find Rico. Rico was already leaving the spaceport. "Rico! Man wait
you're running faster than a Scandinavian Olympian who's just burst
into flames!"
"I think Igor's henchmen are here." Rico pointed to the door.
Sure enough, the two men now rushed towards Kevn and Rico.
"Smeg! Run like a burning Scandinavian!" Kevn and Rico started to
run.
<hope this isn't too much...>
