Benny and Jenny: The Space Ranchers

Getting a Step Closer

"Within the Milky Way Galaxy, there exists a group of mercenaries, who work for an organization called the Space Recovery and Protection Corporation. The brave men and women and all other species have many different tasks, but with a single purpose: to protect the galaxy from those who would cause trouble and evil. To protect it from the Galaxian Vultures. All who wish to become a part of this corporation will need to have great skills and-"

The video feed gets interrupted as a female walks in front of the screen, spooking the man who was watching it.

    "AH!" The man fell down, wincing in pain as he rubbed his back. "Ow, Jenny! Why did you have to get all up in my face." Jenny helped him up from the floor.

    "Oh please Benny, you are always in front of that screen, watching that same ol' silly video."

"It's not silly, in fact, it gives me a renewed sense of determination every time I watch it." Jenny merely rolled her eyes as she shut off the video.

"Come on, we got to get a move on if we want to get our next assignment on time."

"Alright, alright... I call shotgun!" Benny bolted towards the cockpit.

"Don't you dare Benjamin H. Roberston, you ain't gonna leave me with driving this blasted ship again. It is your turn!"

Just as Benny was about to reach the handle he was slammed into the wall by Jenny. Jenny held Benny back while she tried to reach the handle herself.

"Ouch. For a little sister, you hit like a truck."
"And don't you be forgetting it."

In a desperate attempt, Benny went for the classic "Wet Willy." He managed to disgust and disgruntle Jenny just enough to slip inside the cockpit and rest easily in the passenger chair. After eliminating as much of her brother's saliva from her ear, Jenny begrudgingly stomps her way to the driver's side. But not without slugging Benny in the arm. 

"Ow. Again with the pain?" Benny said rubbing his arm.

"You are such a man-child."

"I know I am but what are you?" Jenny remained silent as she plotted their course to the Space Recovery and Protection Corporation. "Aw come on sis, don't get your horses all wrangled up together. I'll drive during the mission. That's the best part of driving this baby." He patted the interior of the ship.

"Fine, but I'll hold you accountable if you don't."

"Don't worry about a thing sis, you know I always come through on my promises." Jenny huffed in a dismissive manner.

"Come on, I do, don't I?" Jenny merely shrugged and gave a little head nod, before she kicked on the hyperdrive gear. The two siblings head out towards closes branch of the Space Recovery and Protection Corporation. Benny fidgeted in his seat, completely bored out of his mind.

"This is taking forever. I still don't even understand why we have to go straight to SRPC."

"Because," Jenny replied. "We were given orders to meet there for our mission details."
"Yeah, but we don't live in the dark ages. We have greater capabilities of communication. Even just using instant messaging would be better than having to fly through space to get the same amount of information we can get in seconds."

"Oh would you stop complaining, we've made it. We just have to wait to get in."

"Alright fine I'll stop complaining. But what do you think this next assignment is gonna be?"

"It could be a number of different things Benny. But I wouldn't hold your breath for a really exciting one. The SRPC only saves those kind of missions for the higher up elites."
