"Good to see customs never changes," Lyla complained quietly. She had arrived at Central City's import station to pick up her well-documented and scheduled shipment of crystals from Namek's whistling caves, and DESPITE her paperwork and identification being pristine, it still took an HOUR to get through the checkpoints. It was a good thing that pink blowhard was likely getting voted out of office soon. He had a politician's instinct - capitalizing on fear to gain power and wealth - but the people had finally woken up to the absurdity of the draconian laws in place. It wasn't like Lyla had ordered enough to power a doomsday weapon. Just a few select samples of high purity and quality for testing, compact enough to fit in a her-sized container.
The scientist frowned as she checked the content display. "There's a payload discrepancy of several kilograms. Alpha, Beta, scan." As she suspected, some miscreant had somehow fit themselves into her shipment! Lyla had half a mind to sue the delivery company... AFTER this unwanted intrusion was dealt with. "Attention!" She'd pop the top lid, squinting suspiciously: "Compensate for your actions at once, or face..." Where were they? "Double check scans." Still there. Maybe a bit more to the left. Lyla picked up a lone crystal, irritation growing as she realized it'd been drained of xenian energy already.
Alpha and Beta quickly moved a few more out of the way, uncovering what appeared to be... a literal pile of junk sitting amongst her order.
