"Jim Hawkins is the answer"
The voice was cold and demanding, without a hint of any weakness.
"If you can get him to put all of his trust in you, he'll lead you to the treasure. He's easier to manipulate the puppet with strings."
She looked at him with her icy colored eyes accross the lightless room.
"I will not fail you, my Captain." The cold voice's owner waved his bear like hand and a ball of silver appeared, floating in front of girl's eyes.
"Take this. It will lead you to the boy, if you control it. If not then you will both be punished. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Captain. Now I shall be off to find Jim Hawkins." She threw the silver orb in the air, walked under it, and she was gone.
"Mom, do I really have to go on this mission?" Sarah cocked an eyebrow and opened her mouth for a scoulding.
"James Pleodis Hawkins, you've made a commitment, and you know as well as I do that I don't raise my children to break their commitments. Now go on, Amelia and the crew are waiting for you at the spaceport." Jim sighed in defeat, but he wasn't done yet.
"Okay Mom, not that I'm complaining or anything, but it's just that Oceania, well, it's not my favorite planet, and I'm not a big fan of swimming, never mind becoming a mutant fish dude-""Jim, I know this isn't how you want to spend you're first mission as an assistant captain, but everyone's countung on you. I'm counting on you. This is your chance to prove yourself worthy of being in power. Lots of other men wanted that position, but Amelia chose you. Now get out of here and try not to get killed." Jim smiled, hugged his mother goodbye, and took of for the spaceport on his solar surfer.
AT THE SPACEPORT
Jim got to the spaceport in under five minutes, and the first thing he spotted was the ship that had launched his life's dreams; the RLS Legacy. Already on the ship was the captain Amelia and her husband Dr. Delbert Doppler, two very good friends of Jim. They motioned for him to board the ship, but he had trouble dinding where the ship entrance even was- there were so many so many new passengers, aliens and people alike! "For goodness sakes, Jim!" mumbled Amelia, letting down a rope laddhim for him. He climbed up, red in the face once he got on the ship. "Thanks." he said.
"Nice to see you again Mr. Hawkins. I trust you know why I have selected you among the thousand other men that applied for this position?"
"Actually, no I don't Captain"
"Well, Jim, it's because I trust you. I know you well enough to judge that you are a man of positive character, as you have proven yourself to be since I saw you last. However, let's not forget that just because your position is only a levellower than mine does not mean that you will be doing any less work that you did last time you journeyed on this ship, is that clear, Mr. Hawkins?
"Yes, Ma'am. I'm at your service."
"Good. Now since last month we've gotten new turbo boosters installed, we will be arriving in Oceania four times faster, so will be be there by morning. And due to great speeding impact, boosters will cause you to black out for the entirety of the voyage. I however have acquired two pairs of goggles that block the effects, but I must give the other to Lastourous. He is driving the ship, you know. You understand, right Jim?
"Yes, Captain. Do whatever you need to do."
"Lastourous, start the ship!" Amelia called.
Next thing he knew, Jim was out like a light.
