Scenon System:
Ryion,
Professor Ace Ridley and Doctor Allison Grand run through the streets of the Ryion Central City Markets, pushing Ryionian stall tenders aside in their path, followed by alien yells and insults. In front of our space heroes are a group of bandits, known as the Elkrin, holding some sort of strange artifact.
One of the Elkrin pull out a blaster and aim at Ace,
“Get Down Ace!” Allison yells,
The blaster shoots, Ace jumps to his right through a stall just barely missing the blaster fire, rolls forward and continues running.
“Nothing to worry about Dr. Grand!” Ace yells back,
The other Elkin reach a dead end in the street, as the last Elkrin returns to his group with blaster in hand, Ace and Allison near. In a quick decision from the armed Elkrin, he runs back over to a road just in time for a Ryionian hover vehicle to arrive. It stops as it sees the blaster in the alien’s hand, shortly after the Elkrin have thrown the driver out and taken the vehicle for themselves.
Ace and Allison finally catch up to see the driver and them flying off,
“Just great, there they go flying off with the Slation Tablet!” Allison exclaims, Ace rubs his chin as he comes up with a plan.
“Yes, yes they are… But the Elkrin haven’t thought ahead. If they plan to steal the Slation Tablets then they must be trying to gain some capital off of it. This leaves them two options, one, sell it oneworld” Ace explains,
“Or sell it offworld.” Allison adds,
“Exactly! Dr. Grand, while on our way back to the ship contact our friend Yon, ask him where is the nearest spaceport here. I’ll contact local authorities and tell them to be on the lookout for any other spaceports in case they’re smart enough to not go to the one closest.” Ace expounds.
The group of Elkrin arrive at a spaceport, now donning improvised disguises. They weave against the busy crowd watching every angle for Ace or Allison, as they approach the ticket terminal they spot Ryionian Police showing holograms of the Elkrin. Meanwhile on a higher level, Ace and Allison land their ship, The Quill, and rush out the to get a good view of the crowd below them, they watch as millions of different alien lifeforms obscure the floor,
“There, Ace! Next to the flight map!” Allison points out,
Next to a huge pillar with holograms showing information on ship departures and arrivals, the Elkrin plot their next moves,
“I see them, your days of stealing are over!” Ace declared before activating his communicator on his wrist device, “Spaceport Security, the Elkrin you are looking for are on the south east side of the main flight map on the main floor!”
As the security surround the Elkrin they begin to split up and spread out through the crowd,
“Darn them! Security watch out, they’re spreading out!” Ace yelled, Allison runs back to the Quill and in the loading bay, grabs two backjets and runs them back to Ace as she puts one on.
“We can’t let them escape with the Slation Tablet, too much is at stake!” Allison reminds Ace,
“Yes, I remember. It’s the only thing keeping the Ryionian’s peace, without they’ll be plunged into war. Especially if they blame certain people for its disappearance. Come on, let’s go before it’s too late” Ace puts his backjet on and they both jump off towards the main floor of the spaceport. Before reaching the ground they activate their packs and negate the rough landing, to begin chasing after the spread out Elkrin.
As Ace and Allison split up, one Elkrin reveals themselves as being right behind our space heroes and makes their way to a ship terminal with a ticket. Still searching around for any sign of Ace or Allison and seeing the coast is clear, he looks down as he pulls out a hidden Slation Tablet one more time. The line for a ship to Uriy grows smaller and smaller as escape seems to be within the Elkrin’s grasp until one of the nearby security notices them.
The Elkrin makes a run in the opposite direction, watching what the security was doing but not where he was running too, as he slams into something he falls over onto the ground. Looking up he sees Ace standing over him, arms crossed and Allison behind him with the rest of the Elkrin group in cuffs with security behind them. Ace grabs them by the arm and picks them up to put handcuffs on them.
After an hour of processing at the local authorities police precinct, Ace and Allison are met by Yon, a Q’run male, and Ryionian High Councilwoman, Lilru,
“Thank you so much for returning the Slation Tablet, Professor Ridley and Doctor Grand. Your dutiful service to protecting our way of life will be rewarded.” Lilru patiently praises,
“The artifact being returned is reward enough. And if it’s ok with you, I’d like to help in finding a way to make it more difficult to steal them again, High Councilwoman Lilru?” Ace askes,
“Absolutely Professor, anything to ensure it’s safety” Lilru responds,
“Come on Yon, let’s go get that sorted… Dr. Grand you coming with us?” Ace looks to Allsion who is watching happily.
“Without a doubt Ace” Allson answers and shortly after, our space-faring heroes go off to secure the Slation Tablet within the Tombs of Ryion, and with that comes the conclusion to yet another adventure in…
