During the shuttle ride one of the passengers kept hearing strange noises coming from the overhead storage compartment above him and glared up from time to time. The strange noises were in fact Elik, who was curled up in the overhead storage simply because it was cozy, turning over a bit in his sleep as the shuttle was coming in for a landing. Once they had landed, and the passengers had begun exiting the shuttle, the glaring passenger had gone and gotten a security guard, who came and woke Elik by opening the compartment and causing him to tumble out onto the floor. This started a starring match as the guard pulled out a stun baton with a 'seriously' look on his face. Elik, slightly wide-eyed, promptly bolted, dashing out of the shuttle past some of the passengers. Once out the shuttle doors he took a moment while the guard was trying to shove through after him to look around for the exit. upon seeing it he started running toward it, passing Erien and the other pilot along the way with a "excuse me, gotta run" running past them a short distance before coming to a stop as he realized who he passed barly able to start "wait a-" before he was cut off by the guard plowing into him and knocking him down hitting him with the baton to keep him from getting up again. Panting the guard stood up over him and put a hand up to the comm unit on his ear "caught a stowaway in the last shuttle, might be a spy he was hiding in the storage compartment" he bent down to search Elik for identification, which he found "He's got an ID, Elik Hel'kayik, can you run that real quick?" short pause "oh just be a dear" another pause "so he's a pilot? which squad?" pause "a transfer to Wyld Fyre? alright" he looked around and saw Erien and the others. The guard pulled Elik up and hauling the dazed Aranok by the arm toward the group, coming up to the colonel and presenting Elik and giving a short salute "Colonel sir, is this your Aranok?" Elik blinked and shook his head, smiling as he recognized Erien, giving a small wave with his free hand "Hey fluffles" he brought his arm up into a weak salute "Elik Hel'kayik, reporting." the guard looked from Elik to Erien, awaiting a response.
