Your last mission has pulled you far away from the Caperion System. With Sithmas just around the corner, you're ready to come home and more importantly your "time sensitive" cargo must be back on Seraph by Sithmas Eve. But, your ship has mechanical issues. There are no transports available to bring you home as all flights are cancelled due to interstellar storms. You decide to hitch a ride with a "unique" individual who is headed this way. You get the feeling this is going to be an interesting ride...hopefully nothing else goes wrong...

Write a story about your character or alt characters harrowing adventure home, the characters they encounter along the way, and the obstacles they must overcome to make it back to the Caperion System by Sithmas. What is your "cargo"? Do you make it?
