Does the crew find you?
They leave you a note and a meal
When you eventually wake up the first thing you discover is how hungry you are. You probably should see if you can find some food somewhere. You don’t feel like stealing, but if you are to survive, you need some food, right?
You rise from your hideout and carefully push your head out above the crates hiding you. You don’t want to accidentally reveal yourself to the crew. But what you see is not a crew, but a plate with food on it and a datapad next to it. Both of them lying so close to you as fi they were placed there specifically so you would find them.
You grab the datapad and see there is a file open for you to read.
“Hello there, I am the captain of the Cerulean Swallow. I must say that when inspecting my cargo, I had not expected to come across a **** girl stowaway. Though that is probably because this is my first time trading in Hutt space. When I saw you, you were fast asleep and looked like you had been crying and I just felt so sorry for you. So, I decided to leave some food for you.
When you are done eating, feel free to come out to say hello. Please, bring the empty plate with you as well. And don’t worry, I have no intention of returning you to the Hutts.
See you soon, Captain Millus.”
Even before you finish reading the message, you have to rub the tears out of your eyes. How could you possibly be so lucky? What could you ever have done to deserve something like this? No matter. You are hungry now. You lay the datapad down and grab to plate. As you begin to eat all your fears and worries start to disappear. You don’t even need to hide from the crew during this entire trip. You can interact with them and they will help you.
After you finish the food, you come out of your hiding space. Then you grab the empty plate and the datapad and start walking toward the exit to the cargo hold. As you open the door and enter the adjacent corridor you see a person there.
A human male. He looks about a decade older than you with a moustache but no beard. Humans are so weird with all that hair coming from so many different places. Though he does look rather dashing dressed in long pants, a black shirt and brown jacket. He is leaning with his back against the corridor wall while holding another datapad in front of him and reading it. You opening the door drew his attention and makes him look up from his datapad.
“Ah, you are awake.” He says with a welcoming smile. “I am Captain Millus. Pleased to meet you.”
“Uhm … hello.” You say awkwardly as you avert your eyes.
“Do you have a name?” Captain Millus asks. “We can’t exactly call you ‘**** girl’ or ‘Little miss stowaway’ during the whole trip, right?”
“Right.” You agree. “It’s … My name is Seela Ben, Master.”
“No. Master is a titled used by droids and slaves to adress their owner.” Millus says. “To the best of my knowledge you are not a droid and on my ship, slavery is not permitted. So please, just call me Captain.”
“Yes, Captain.” You quickly reply.
“Well then. Let me introduce you to the rest of the crew.” The Captain says. “Follow me.”
Who are the other crew members?
