Chapter 1
A light breeze blew across the Space Port of Montressa. Through the bustling crowd, two figures searched for their ship. One was Dr Delbert Doppler, a half-man, half-dog creature who was well known for being a very pleasant, if a bit egotistic. The other was a young lad of fifteen, known for being a rebel back on his home planet and branded a 'Loser', his name was James Hawkins but was known to everyone as Jim. The pair stopped as they looked up at a large ship in front of them, the 'RLS' Legacy.
"Here we are Jim", the dog like man said.
"Yippee", was his companions' sarcastic answer. Jim had been thankful that the Doctor had persuaded his mother to let him embark on this adventure but he was beginning to regret it now. The Doctor had been nothing but a nuisance and an embarrassment to Jim and he doubted that would lessen when they boarded the ship. He rolled his eyes as he heard the clanking of metal as Delbert walked up the plank behind him.
Captain Amelia, the cat like female Captain of the 'RLS' Legacy sat at the desk in her stateroom, her head in her hands. She had a feeling that she was in for a long and tiresome journey to Treasure Planet, if such a place even existed. The young lad who had discovered the treasure map seemed no more than a bored and rebellious youngster to her and the man who accompanied him looked even worse, arriving in a huge metal space suit, he gave the impression of being more of a liability than a helping hand. She cared not for the crew he had hired and cared even less for his mind-numbing attempts at conversation. She liked things clear, sharp and to the point, that is how she would run this ship and manage this voyage.
Jim moped up the galley stairs onto the deck for the launch. He was in a foul mood. He had been ordered to work with the cook, a mister John Silver and a cyborg none the less. Jim was already cautious of the man. He'd come on this adventure hoping to escape day-to-day chores and here he was cleaning tables. Great.
A whistle blew, followed by a bellow from the Captain's first mate, Mr. Arrow, a tall largely built man.
"Role call before launch." He produced a piece of paper, which he handed to the Captain and she began reading names.
"Onus?"
"Aye Aye Captain"
"Scroop?"
"Aye Aye Captain"
"Hands?"
"Aye Aye Captain"
Jim listened as the list of names went on, each person coming forward from their post to answer. Among the crew were a small alien with several eyes, which all blinked at once, ahead with no body, a body with no head and a large and rather dominating looking spider with crab pincers. Jim ran his eye over each member, there was no one he thought he would get along with, and they all seemed to keep themselves to themselves. A long silence fell over the ship as the captain repeated a name for the second time with no answer.
"Roxanne?" she repeated louder.
A loud whooping sound was heard followed by a figure swinging down onto the deck from one of the higher stems of the mast. Everyone turned to see the cause of the noise land gracefully on the deck.
"Aye Aye Captain", the figure answered with a flourish, and what a figure Jim noticed. The speaker was a girl of roughly his age with shoulder length blonde hair, which fluttered around her in the breeze. She wore a dress of turquoise, which had a tight corset as its upper part with short sleeves and the skirt was shorter at the front, coming to just above her knees, and going down to her ankles at the back, and this was layered and ruffled. She was very slim, with toned legs and ample breasts, which were accented by the corset she wore.
"Ah Roxanne Ruby, I assume" the Captain questioned the girl.
"Aye Aye Captain."
"And how is that scandalous father of yours doing?"
"Still roaming."
Wait…Jim thought…Roxanne Ruby scandalous father Redneck? The famous space rogue is her father? Jim had read all about Redneck Ruby, he was a famous conman. He fooled pirates into taking him on board then informed the authorities on where they were but not before taking some of the loot for himself. However he could also inform some of the pirates where the authorities were, letting them get away with their crime. He was one of the most notorious criminals, however as he helped both sides of the law he was never arrested and still roamed about up to his old tricks.
"Well I hope to have a word with you about that later on." Amelia continued.
"Aye Aye Captain, I look forward to it." She smiled and Jim seemed relieved, maybe he could get to know her.
"Jim?"
"Oh…..er….um…Aye Aye….er….m'aam…..I mean Captain" he stumbled, too lost in his thoughts over the girl.
"Just Aye Aye Captain is sufficient thank you Jim, we don't need the whole essay of unexisting words in between"
"Sorry Captain" Jim apologized, blushing slightly; Roxanne was looking at him, eyebrow arched.
He's cute, she thought, even when he is blushing, but she shook the thought from her head, she was finished with men, she could never face another, not after last time.
"Right well if we're all her and accounted for then lets launch this creaking tub." The Captain said and every one was ordered to their posts.
