Storm Warning (Choose your own adventure)

5

You decide to stow away on the small ship. It looks sleek and powerful and is covered with markings of some sort of bird. Two men are loading cargo onto it. As they walk off to get another box of cargo, you sneak up the ramp and into the ship. You are in a dimly lit cargo hold with boxes piled up around you. You can't read the markings on them, but you have a feeling that whatever's inside is illegal.

You dive behind a pile of cargo as the two men hurl what seems to be one last box of cargo into the ship. They walk up a set of metal stairs and out of the hold as the boarding ramp slides up automatically. A few minutes later you hear a deep rumble as the ship takes off. You remain hidden in the dark but start to get bored. You are about to abandon the cover of the crates and explore the ship, but a crew member walks in and sees you!

"Well, well, looks we got ourselves a stowaway 'ere", he says. You whip out your sword and slash at him. He blocks it just in time with his own dagger. "Those were some mighty fast reflexes you got there!," the man says. "Why did you sneak aboard this ship?" You relax as he slides his dagger back into his sheath and you tell him your whole story. When you finally finish, the man pauses and slowly says, "You don't look like a imperial spy and you can't remember who you are so...would you like to join us, the Skyhawks? We're a professional team of mercenaries and bounty hunters, taking jobs from whoever offers the most. But remember, any funny business, your life is going to end a lot sooner than you expected..."
You think for a moment. If you accept, you could make a new life for yourself... if you refuse, the Skyhawks would probably just toss you off the ship. You don't really have any options left and accepting is the safest one. "Okay then, I'll join" you say. Turn to 7.
