"What do you suppose 'don't look' meant? Is Medusa in there or something? Maybe we just give this over as instructed and don't worry about peeking in the box."

Captain Jack smiles at his tricorder: "Fungoid lifeform, possibly intelligent... Skexis, ready your weapon for stun, and when you're ready, I'm opening the locker..."

Once Skexis is ready, Captain Jack opens the door in such a way he won't be in the line of fire if it jumps out of the locker, and not in the way if it does jump out.

[OOC] If Captain Jack can open this with one hand, he readys his phaser in his right hand... if not, he makes sure he stays out of Skexis' way...[/OOC]

Phasers locked and loaded... Captain Jack opens the lockbox.

There is no explosion and nothing leaps out.

Inside you see... a box... approximately cube-shaped with two feet or so to a side. It is wrapped in brown paper and has a string tied around it. There are no markings on the paper that you can see.

[OOC] This is a trap, I know it's a trap... [/OOC]

Captain Jack rescans the box with his tricorder, specifically looking for a motion trigger or a pressure trigger switch...

If he finds nothing, he throws caution to the wind and picks up the box.
if he finds something, he waits for details as to what he finds.

You find nothing special about the box. You're no science officer, but (aside from possible sentient fungoid life forms) there is nothing inside the box that is volatile, reactive, or mechanical. Based on your tricorder readings... you don't know exactly what's in there, but it appears to be inert.

Captain Jack has picked up the box now.

"let's head back to the tavern where the man was going to pick up his package. We'd better keep it out of sight."

"Good idea, Skexis..."
Captain Jack and Skexis does just that. (they are still looking around, being aware of their surroundings and expecting a trap...)

[GM guesses y'all mean the tavern...?]

Back to the tavern... you don't run into anybody on the way over there. The hair stands up on the back of your neck, but you don't see anything except the usual riff raff that patronizes this world.

[GM assumes that] you order drinks and wait a while.... An hour goes by. People really keep to themselves here. There are no bar brawls and nobody tries to mess with you or sell you anything. (It's totally low key compared to the bars back at Donjebruche.)

Time seems to slow down to a crawl until... finally... a man with a limp walks in. He surveys the room and sees you. He doesn't buy any drinks or anything. He walks to your table and sits down without any introductions. [GM keeps the game moving by assuming that you have the package with you, but that it is obscured by a couple of coats or something-- you guys have a booth, not a table.]

In a wheezing sort of voice, the man says, "You have something... that belongs to me."

Captain Jack Says: "I think we do... we were told to bring it here and we would get $500 for it."
