The hatch of *Never Back Down* hissed open and two men stepped on board.
"Pukkin' fek!" the first said. "That worked like magic!"
"Yeah, yeah," said the second, holding up his device. "But it only works on Xerxes couriers lower than Mark IV. You don't see many around anymore." (1/4) #wss366

They went to the bridge. He poked at his device. And then poked it again. Nothing happened.
"What's wrong?" asked the first."
"It's not working," said the second. "That should've woken up the #helm," he said.
"Not gonna happen," a voice said. (2/4) #wss366

They spun around looking, but no-one was there. They looked at each other.
"Just relax," said the voice. "The authorities have been summoned."
"Let's get outta here!" the first said. He ran to the hatch and began to scrabble at the controls. (3/4) #wss366

The hatch hissed open and he ran out directly into the arms of Truck Stop security.
The other came out moments later, his arms raised.
Racy watched as they were marched away. Then she entered.
"Thanks, Grumpy," she said.
"Hmph," he said. "You'll make it up to me." (4/4) #wss366
