INTO WILDSPACE (in process)

The railroad has recently extended itself. Mrylor is mapping an area of
rough terrain in the hopes that there are enough resources for a town
nearby. As you are overlooking the area, you notice what looks like a
small orbital landing craft land not too far away.

Your curiosity aroused, you make your way to the landing site. Sneaking
in as close as possible, you discover a group of 4 Nurha talking to a
Pladone. Unfortunately you don't know the language. Near by are a number
of barrels and a few crates. Both the barrels and crates bear
governmental markings. 

The landing craft looks large enough to hold all the barrels and crates
with room to spare. Unfortunately, it is enclosed and you can only see
portions of the inside. 

Mrylor watches the grouping for a few minutes to see if anyone notices
him. If not, he teleports onto the ship and quietly hides in the cargo
area and waits for the craft to lift off. He will have his hand on the
rifle in case. 

You sneak back and remove your gear from pack animal, caching what you
cannot carry. Sneaking back to the lander, you notice the boxes have
been moved inside. Your danger sense warns you off your first attempt,
but your second attempt works just fine. You appear next to a series of
boxes and break into a cold sweat when you realize how close you came to
interpenetrating with them. 

(Note: teleporting into unknown areas is a good way to get yourself
killed. Interpenetrating matter generates explosions. This time your
danger sense worked, but it might not next time.) 

You feel the lander take off, and decide you have enough time to
investigate the boxes. They turn out to be filled with nitro powder.
Unfortunately, you can't tell whether you're looking at propellant,
explosive, or both. You estimate there's around a ton of powder aboard
the ship. 

After a few hours, you feel a thump. It seems likely the lander has
docked. 

Upon feeling the lander dock, Mrylor looks around for the best hiding
place that he can see fully. He then begins moving as quietly as
possible. If he makes a noise, he checks to see if it would be possible
to teleport the rest of the way, if not he hisses quietly and begins
sneaking again. (This hiding place would hopefully allow him to see them
but not for them to see him.)

You are in the hold of a ship. While you might be able to avoid
detection for a little while, it's unlikely that you will be able to do
so for long. 

A hatch in the ceiling opens and a human descends into the hold. Opening
a door in the side of the craft, he gestures for a Pladone to enter the
hold (you don't think it's the one you saw earlier). The two of them
begin moving boxes out of the hold. You can't see much of what's outside
from your angle, but the black sky with stars reminds you of what you've
heard of wildspace. Occasionally you hear a Slahses voice hissing
orders. 

The hatch in the ceiling is still open, but you can't see anything
beyond it due to darkness. There are occasions where both the unloaders
are out of the hold. 

In addition to what you are doing at the moment it would be helpful if
your post included your intentions and contingencies for any problems
you might encounter. 

Mrylor waits for one of the times that the unloaders are out of the
cargo bay, to creep out of his hiding place. While they are out, he
moves very slowly towards the side door. While moving, he listens for
the unloaders to return. (If they do so, he looks for the nearest hiding
place to go to. If there is no acceptable hiding place, he waits in
plain sight for them with his right hand on one of his knives. This is
the only possibly aggressive sign that he will show. The opening line
will be as follows. "Greetings, forgive my curiosity that lead me to
your ship. I hope that there is no harm done and that I can leave
peacefully. I would hate to become upset as that has hazardous results
for all parties involved. If you're curious my name is Mrylor. (if at
anytime they show hostility, he teleport directly behind one of them and
puts the knife to his/her neck, using the victim as a human/Pladom
shield and slowly backs out the side door.)) This communication will
take place in a language that is most likely to be understood. 

If he makes it out of the side door without incident, he will attempt to
find the name of the ship and write it down. He will then head to the
bar, get a drink, and try to become as unnoticed as possible, he will
listen for mentioning of the ship's name, and if he hears it mentioned,
try to listen to as much of the facts as possible, hopefully it will be
in a language that he can understand. If he sees the unloaders in the
bar, he will attempt to follow them unnoticed back to the ship. If he is
spotted, he will look for any alibi possible that could be convincing
such as a nearby shop. Otherwise, the above speech will be made with the
same contingency plan. 

Mrylor makes it out of the vessel through the cargo door. The magic
flyer is docked to a packet freighter which has definitely seen better
days. The area where the name and registry should be is badly scored and
unreadable. You have absolutely no idea of how the freighter is laid out
or how many crew it's supposed to carry. The ship is stationary above
the dark end of Eclipse, and there is no station or other ships nearby. 

Making your way into the interior of the ship, you stumble across the
cargo hold, which is almost completely empty except for the boxes you
recognize from the magic flyer. In the hold you overhear the cargo
haulers talking, but are unable to understand what they are saying. 

Trying a door you hope leads somewhere new, you are walking down a
hallway when you hear someone call from behind you. Turning around, you
put a hand on your knife. Behind you you see the human who was doing the
unloading. Addressing him in Kafara, you sign, "Greetings, forgive my
curiosity that led me to your ship. I hope that there is no harm done
and that I can leave peacefully. I would hate to become upset as that
has hazardous results for all parties involved. If you're curious my
name is Mrylor." 

The human replies back in Kafara. "Mrylor huh? Well, tell you what,
you're gonna go see the captain right now. Got it?" The human is alone
and unarmed, but looks fairly strong. There is enough room for you to
teleport behind him. 

The hallway you are in contains provisions for the crew. There is a
single window high up in the wall. You can't jump that high, but might
be able to climb up to it. The human is in front of the door leading
back to the main hold with enough room for you to teleport behind him,
and there is another door at the end of the hall behind you. You are
easily in teleportation range of the magical flyer's hold, or the
freighter's maindeck or main hold. 

What do you do? 

------ 

PS I noticed you original post stated that you wanted meta-powers. Would
you prefer for your teleportation to be based on meta-powers or psionics?

Mrylor teleports behind the man, and begins to run away, as he does so,
he looks around for other people that may be around. If he sees any, he
looks to see if they are dressed similarly to the human he has
teleported behind. If not, he assumes they are no threat, and glances
around to find a way out. If there are no places, he again teleports
behind the man (if possible) and puts the knife to his throat. "Okay,
tell me what is going on here, who you work for, what you are doing
here, and how many people are here." Mrylor says, his voice barely an
audible hiss to the human, no one else should be able to hear. He then
uses the human as a shield, hiding the fact that he would rather keep
this human alive if at all possible. 

He then forces the human to lead him away from everyone else, when they
are alone, he hits the human behind the head with the hilt of the knife,
hopefully knocking him out. If not, Mrylor is ready for a fight. 

Write up to any part that is contradicted in your response, I will go
from there. 

PS: I see the teleportation as literally becoming one with the ambient
light, as such, if at all possible I would like to eventually develop
more light based abilities. As such, would this be psionic or meta
ability. Please write me as to both your decision and the differences
between the two.
