Eventually I found a note the Captain shoved in my bag, It was written on a napkin from the bar,

"Sorry kid, I needed the money.

Got some good news and some bad news.

Good news is you are on your way to Stanton.

Bad news is, your kinda a stow away.

You see I "heard" about this ship that was getting transported back to Crusader for a recall, due to faulty gun racks, and a malfunctioning pilot seat. Well, when you told me you wanted to get transport to Stanton, I saw the opportunity.

Well now your on your way! Good luck kid!"

Well I looked around the ship, messed with the bridge controls (no response of course), and from the view from the bridge figured out the StarRunner was strapped down on an even larger ship. After a couple days of freaking out and trying to do something, anything, I gave up, and decided to just wait to be found and hopefully explain my way out of the situation. Well no one ever came looking, so I made the ship my home for the time being. Hopefully when we get to Crusader and they find me here, whoever they is, has a good laugh and it makes for a great story at the bar. Or they don't, and they throw me into space...here's hoping.

Out of pure boredom I searched the ship some more starting with that compartment the Captain stashed me in. It was connected to a tunnel that spanned the entire ship! Maybe, I can hide hear when we reach Crusader and be able to time out a sneaky exit.
