Lysia stops outside Mama Kent's and pauses for a minute while Ilane and Shawn get into the van and start it up. They follow her to the Star port. Lysia drives the car...Right up to the ship, saying "we've got a trunk load of goodies."...she parks it beside the open forward cargo hatch. Ilane follows her and parks the van next to the car. This is the first look Ilane and April have really had of the ship. It is very large, much larger than they expected, the size of a four story building with a blocky rounded nose and stubby wings sticking out from the sides. The nose hatch is open, dropped down to the ground like a gaping mouth exposing the dark interior of the cargo hold. Over all, it looks to be in pretty good condition, but there are visible scars on the surface where the paint doesn't *quite* match. It's ugly and beautiful both at the same time. There is a vargr in a coverall standing inside the cargo hold. It looks like he is mopping the deck. He looks up as the two vehicles draw up outside and waves. Lysia and Shawn recognizes him as Ukanav, April and Ilane haven't met him yet so they don't know him. The vargr walks forward carrying mop in one hand and a bucket in the other. He calls out, "Good morning Boss Jez, Si Smith!"
