Same rules apply reviews are welcome if you think there is a problem I can see about addressing it. There will probably be a few more chapters of this singular narrative and then a few of how Yang met her crew and obtained the ship.

Four women and a young man stand around the crate recently liberated from the space debris. They are in the cargo hold amid stacks of crates and boxes of all types and sizes, a small dirty dust powered ATV, and a shining black and yellow dust-bike. After fiddling with the lock on the crate for a few seconds.
Y got it
Click The crate opens and we see that is full of containers full of various types and colors of dust.
NJR oohhh
J looks worth the risk
N yeah so risky you in your warm chair
J yes it was risky not like I can say I was flying the ship by accident
P but you are flying this ship on accident Jaune
J and I have said sorry countless times for that whole thing
The lilac eyed blond picks up one of the vials and turns it around she and only she sees the Schnee logo on the back of the container, her eyes flash red for a second
Y Shízài kěhèn*
P problem captain?
Y no its nothing
She replaces the vial and then closes the lid. Then she the pilot and her first officer get up and head for the stairs out of the cargo hold.
N what was atlas doing this far out any how
R tightening their grasp on all of us or something like that
P how far to Vale anyway
J couple of hours
Y could we cut that
J were running low on propulsion dust push it too hard and we might not make it
Y any faster would be appreciated no need to tempt fate with this haul aboard
P think we got tagged
Y I hope not
J I should probably get back to piloting the ship then
P I will go with him he's still working on those landings in populated spaceports
J hey I haven't crashed in months
N didn't you crush that poor man's cabbage cart last week
J I said I was sorry
N and we got all that free cabbage
R so that's what that smell is
We see a large pile of wood and busted rotting cabbages
Y contact junior tell them we got the stuff don't mention the ship just keep it short
P everything all right with the dust
Y don't worry just want to get paid. Get this stuff stowed don't want anyone to stumble upon it
R we picking up passengers sis
Y yeah that's the plan could you some respectability on our way to forever fall. Not to mention the moolah
N that will be fun
R yes it will I like to meet new people they all got stories and sometimes cookies
N could you quiet your sister down a little bit captain
Y Nora you know her there isn't a thing in the verse that can shut Ruby up except cookies and strawberries.
N yeah I'm asking if we have any of those
Y No plum out. Its these times I just want to tie her up and lock her in her room for a week
R love you to Yang

The redhead and the blond are walking down the hallway to the cockpit.
P something seems to be bothering the captain
J Pyrrha we're crooks if everything was right we'd be busting are asses in the Schnee Mines
P it's just that Yang seems so stressed
J she just needs a few days to relax and drive her bike some. We all do
P still got to deliver the payload
J and when that's done we fly off to Fall with a little cash in our pockets we can get away and we can do some more of that training, like the stuff too dangerous to try on the ship.
P I could do with some fresh air
J and the sap is supposed to be delightful
P if she is fine with it I will ask her
J don't forget to call her sir she likes that
The buxom blonde captain steps into the cockpit joining the first mate and pilot.
Y who likes what
P nothing Yang
Y has are ambassador checked in yet
J not yet her schedule sounded pretty full
Y after you call Junior let her know we might be leaving Vale in a hurry
P she has our timetable she should call soon
J I could tell her to cut it short have her meet us at the port
Y nah don't want to infringe on her if we don't have to. Someone on this boat has to make an honest lien

We see a fairly opulent room with lots of black curtains and stacks of books everywhere with two figures on a bed under covers but obviously in the middle of something. (F and M respectively)Now we see the slightly dressed couple sitting down drinking sake next to each other.
F Menagerie is not much different then Vale, more crowded obviously and probably more complicated. The great city is very pretty pics can't capture the beauty of it especially at night, its like a sea of light.
M Is that where you trained to be a companion
F I was born there
M I couldn't imagine ever leaving
The lady looks off into the distance
F I've always wanted to see the other planets
M do you have to go I mean- my father is very powerful we could- I could arrange for you to be-
Now the man is dressed and seems ready to leave
M the experience has been more than—It was very good thank you
F the time went far too fast
M well your clock is probably hastened to shorten our fun
The lady now walks forward and after parting some curtains we see the cockpit of the shuttle she appears to be on. Sitting down she activities the coms array as well as preping the ship for take off.
F Beacon this is Shuttle One. What's your E.T.A.?
J Blake hi we will be touching down at the docks soon
We can now see the girl at the console with her long black hair, amber eyes, and a perfectly tied bow atop her head. (F now being B if you don't understand my style yet)
B I'll meet you there. Thanks.
J looking forward to it we missed you out here
B yeah me too
The shuttle takes off from a landing pad amidst a sprawling cityscape.
