"Jump successful! "
"Accelerate at maximum speed"

a few hours later:
"Captain we have arrived at Pandora "
they began to dock. the space traffic controller contacted them to assist with docking.
"This is urgent we need you to relay a message to jurai for us. All our communication systems are
blocked."Kiriko said
"Sorry mam our relays been out of commission for over a century."
The air traffic controller said with a bitter smile.
"I know it's embarrassing but this is a space station in frontier space after all... we don't have the money."
kiriko thought about it for a while...
"do you have any GP employee's here?"
"yes. I'll call them for you."
a secret wall surrounded kiriko.
"This is Fos Douquet GP branch chief for pandora. What is someone from the main office doing all the way out here?"Kiriko hurried and explained their situation to him.
-------------
"So can you hurry and relay the message for us?"
"I'd like to but our two ships are out fighting pirates right now a large number of pirates was detected nearby. But I'll send the message as soon as they get back. What would you like me to tell them?"
"We need a medium sized container ship and an escort ship."
Kiriko transfered the data to over to him using her ID card and cut communications.
---------------
"Welcome to pandora! the time is 2100 hours. you may now depart!" a voice announced
They prepared to go in when Fos came running up to them.
He realized who seina was and advised him to stay aboard his ship.
He warned them that Pandora was a trade out post and was full of pirates and many other people who wouldn't hesitate to try and capture him.
He went and got a container ship for them and they stored the kamidake inside of it to camouflage and tow it.
----------
Coincidentally Ian north was at his new office on pandora when his new employee, the stations owner's daughter kururuka pandora came in and told him the bad news about the shipping company they hired for jurai being blown up.
Ian gave her a cigar for her troubles... she had a thing for sniffing them and she proceeded to shove the whole thing up her nose.
Ringo called and let ian know that they were looking for seina.
Ringo then went back to seto and begged her to not waste any more money....
----------------
The transport container was taking them to jurai 6 hours later when they realized they were low on food.the three idiots who had grown incredibly fat from doing nothing but eating and sleeping for over a month in acceleration space .
"we only have a day of food left what where you thinking?!"
"we had three months of food in reserve!"
amane and kiriko yelled at the three idiots .
"Sorry we were just trying to make sure we were in adequate physical condition to continue operating in case of a an emergency." alan tried to convince them but his powers of persuasion had no effect on them
"kiriko what can we do about this?"
"if we ration out everything we can make it last 3 days."
"God damn it! What are you doing loafing around. Get to your stations you idiots!" amane yelled at the three.
--------
alan got mad at seina for being scolded for eating all the food . amane said it would be about 4 more hours till they got to their destination but they expected to encounter pirates that would delay them.
Alan came to her with an idea for getting past the pirates by using them as bait and giving them a fake box.
-------
Ringo went to airi and asked airi if she would lend erma to jurai to help them find seina.
mikami and airi agreed.
Ryoko was housed in the same cell that had been used to house widow so it was very hard for people to interact with her or find her.
ryoko got a call in her cell from ringo
"As you already know, Seina and the Kamidake are missing. an acquaintance of mine found out that they were taken by a transportation ship from the space station pandora a few hours ago."
"So you want me to help you betray my fellow pirates"
after a long speech of no real importance except to make ryoko realized seto wanted to advance the technology the pirates have so they can all settle down and live in peace.... she agreed to help.
Airi came in after ringo's talk
"Erma.... let's go."
"okay."
