Ursa looked down at the mapping table pensively, moving her finger over a few planets before resting on one, "[color=00746b]Here. Didn't we have reports that Theonia was attacked? What do you say, Anna?[/color]" 

An older woman with two dark black eyes and zebra striped skin looked up from her computer, "[color=00aeef]Yeah, from what I hear the planet has been under attack for months, but casualties are basically ziltch...Plus...they are known for their Ragar Fuel mines. Earth government has been trying to work out a mining deal for years, but the locals won't budge. The plans were put on hold when they started to be attacked though.[/color]" 

Ursa smirked, "[color=00746b]So what your saying is it's a planet with free fuel, probably wealthy goods and it's completely abandoned. Well, I suppose we should respect the recently dead and bypass it for Agrathea our regular port.[/color]" 

There was a brief silence around the room before Ursa let out a laugh, "[color=00746b]Hah...Just kidding. Fuck the dead. Set a course Takashi, and Mac prepare the shovels for the men if they want a take of what we find, they are digging for it. EVEN YOU METE![/color]"

A fat little goblin-looking, creature, poked his head around his small seat/scooter, his voice a harsh squeak,"[color=aba000]Fuck you. I'm on Jenny Craig's Goblanax diet. I already lost 3 pounds.[/color]" 

Ursa laughed walking over to the corner of the cockpit where a small ledge by the window was suited with a small green plaid pillow,"[color=00746b]Three pounds. Look at you go girl. Work it honey bear, work it![/color]" 

She sat down on the ledge and picked up her current book, the paper slightly worn and rare. Paper books were banned eon's ago, but Ursa couldn't get enough of them. She had more kredits then she could handle with her smuggling business but she didn't see much use in paying for luxury when she never really traveled anywhere luxurious. She did, however, spend quite a fine buckeroo on books. Her library was her treasure, taking her to new worlds everytime she opened a page. She read whatever came her way to, whether it be Dalai Maroon's, 'Philosophical Understanding of a Garbage Cruiser' or Morticai Tim's 'History of the Eight Moon's of Glamora.' she would eat it up. Her favorite was fiction though and the one she had sitting on her lap was a fantasy western with a classic cowboy heading off into danger to save the galactic princess Enchantra from the Robots of Gaboon. She was just getting into a juicy romantic part in the novel where Leroy Hawkins was going to kiss Enchantra when suddenly Takashi spoke up, "[color=39b54a]We are just a few miles off now, Coop.[/color]" 

Ursa sighed, closing the novel with a soft thud as she hopped down and headed towards Anna, "[color=00746b]Is the planet fine for oxygen levels or will we need the suits?[/color]"

Anna shrugged,"[color=00aeef]I think we should be fine. Theonia Z17 has a large botanical inventory that sustains high oxygen levels on the planet, even with the attacks there are still many remote areas that haven't been touched. Only cities have been hit.[/color]" 

"[color=00746b]Which city are we landing on?[/color]" Ursa asked casually, looking through the large window to see the planet growing larger as they came up within range of it. 

Anna spoke evenly,"[color=00aeef]Ozloron? I think. It's hard to tell with our camera's. I haven't been to this planet before but the map coordinates match with the GPS.[/color]" 

Ursa nodded placing her hands on her hips, remaining quiet as the ship descended on the planet. It took some time to find an area that was flat enough to land, but eventually, they came across a spot and headed out onto the planet's surface. Ursa walked out, looking around at what once would have been a beautiful city, but was nothing more than rubble, broken glass and bones. The smell of smoke, burnt wood and blood filled the area, but also a tinge of fresh forest and running water could be identified a few miles off. Ursa took a few steps forward, kicking a few of the stones away to find a small burlap doll, set with one button eye and a leaf. She picked it up, a sigh leaving her body, "[color=00746b]Fucking assholes..[/color]" Before she could let the real tragedy of this planet get to her she turned to her crew and chucked the doll aside, "[color=00746b]Alright. Take a shovel, collect whatever you can sell and if you find some fuel cans you get 300 extra credits. Find a barrel you get 500. We can only stay here for a few hours before the Armada is going to start sending out tracker ships. Now start digging bitches.[/color]" 

She headed back towards the ship when Mac placed his hand on her shoulder,"[color=fff200]Where are you going?[/color]" 

She looked at him, raising her tattooed eyebrow,"[color=00746b]To read.[/color]" 

He shook his head,"[color=fff200]Nope. Take a shovel and get busy, you don't work for free on this ship.[/color]"

She gave a half-hearted retort as he handed her a shovel and pushed her towards the rubble,"[color=00746b]But...But...I'm the captain. I get the privilege of putting my crew to work. Ow...Hey, this is bullshit..[/color]" 

Mac shook his head, "[color=fff200]You sound like a child. You work for Jerry still Coop. Which means you pull your load you lazy bugger. Now get to it.[/color]" 

Ursa dropped her lower jaw then pulled off her jacket so that her tattooed shoulders were exposed to the elements. She muttered to herself,"[color=00746b]You're a child...What's the point of being captain if you can't tell people what to do..might as well just call me Cooper the crewmate who doesn't shut up.[/color]" 

The crew spoke up in unision, "[color=662d91]SHUT UP![/color]" They all began laughing as she sighed shaking her head, striking her shovel in the rubble and started digging.

-------------------------------------------------

After a few hours, Ursa was covered in sweat along with most of her crew, and all they found was a few high-end statuettes, paintings, and three tanks of fuel. Takashi walked over to Ursa with some water, "[color=39b54a]Here. I've given some to the men to. The stream actually has some pretty clean water to drink.[/color]" 

Ursa thanked him before downing the cool water quickly when suddenly a large tan colored crew member with aquamarine eyes and long black hair ran up, "[color=f26522]Hey, we think we found something. Dill and some of the other boys that have been to the planet before think they could find where the bank is located. We used some of our larger unearthing tools to take out some rubble and we found a bunker. We figured you'd want to head in first.[/color]" 

Ursa handed her shovel and water to Takashi,"[color=00746b]The bank? OH HELL YEAH! Show me where it is Darian![/color]" 

She headed over moving towards an awkwardly shaped hole that led deep into the rubble, a few of her men crowded the entrance but weren't getting too close. She followed Darian into the hand-made tunnel, a crew member handing her a flashlight as they came to a sealed door. She touched the cool metal, knocking once before placing an ear to it to see if she heard anything. Nothing. She pulled back, "[color=00746b]Anyone thinks it was a good idea to go grab some hammers or the lock picking tools?[/color]" 

Everyone gave her sheepish looks, "[color=00746b]I really question your guys' initiative sometimes.[/color]" 

She looked at the door for a few minutes before moving over to chuck a few stones away from the wall beside it. She knocked lightly in a few areas before she took a step back and pulled out her gun, shooting the wall beside the door in an even circle. After the shooting had ceased she turned on her heel and kicked the area she had shot a crack echoing through her little tunnel. She paused before kicking again when suddenly the wall collapsed leaving a dark black hole in its wake. Ursa took a breath before taking out her other gun and pointing it into the room,"[color=00746b]Honey, Momma's home! Hope no ones naked in there! Wouldn't want to be surprised.[/color]" 

A deathly silence was her response. She shrugged and headed into the room, her men following in behind her, using their lights to expose the room. No gold. No cash. No fuel. Just a few beds, water, and a BOOKSHELF! Ursa squealed, "[color=00746b]We struck gold!!!! Dill, you rock![/color]" 

 The man who was green all over with little bumps covering his body blushed purple, "[color=007236]Awe! Thanks Ursa.[/color]" 

She ran over to the shelf picking up a few scrolls and books, as the men sighed, irritated that there was no kredits or jewelry to be seen "[color=00746b]Take all of these and bring them to my quarters. Gods, they're gorgeous. I have a few already but we can sell these copies on the black market for a few kredits.[/color]" 

Darian and a few of the other crew members grabbed the rest of the books and headed out of the room, with Ursa in tow, cradling the books lovingly back towards the ship. After a few more hours Mac called the search off and everyone headed back in so they could blast off towards the next port. There they could rest up before they went to drop off the crystals to the buyer. Another job completed. Ursa was exhausted and smelled like a water buffalo from the planet Aquaria, so she figured a shower was well due. Once they were up in the air, she decided to turn in for a few hours, the excitement of the day wearing thin. She headed down the hallway towards her room when Anna came forward heading towards the kitchens. Ursa walked a few feet before she stopped turning, "[color=00746b]Hey Anna.[/color]" 

Anna stopped and turned to look at her,"[color=00aeef]Yes?[/color]" 

Ursa gave a wide smile before walking over,"[color=00746b]Thanks for all your help today. It was just our luck that you visited here before![/color]"

Anna took a step back, "[color=00aeef]No problem. I help where I can.[/color]" 

Ursa looked down towards the ground itching her neck "[color=00746b]Of course...Problem is, Anna wasn't the one who traveled here before. Dill did.[/color]" suddenly she pulled out her gun and aimed it at Anna's head her expression turning serious,"[color=00746b]Look asshole. I don't know who you are, or how you got through my radars, but if you don't show me your real face quickly, I am gonna give you a new one.[/color]"
