Appearance from Nowhere

There's a "BAMF" and a stink of scorched hairgel.

A large cardboard box falls to the floor of the Hardees dining room from nowhere, and from it spill three figures that Sara and Jasper recognize as Sir Seeker, Dan Danger, and Mister Qrygg.

"I told one of you to check the oil in this thing!" Dan Danger snaps. Sara sees that someone has misspelled "INTERDIMENTIONAL TRANSPORT" on the side of the box with a Sharpie in a childish scrawl. On one panel of the lid someone has drawn a crude facsimile of a keyboard and an LCD screen in the same black marker that was used on the side of the box, and colored it in with crayon. Strangely enough, the crude drawings actually appear to be glowing, and the screens change from second to second and actually display data. A ragged hole punched into the side of the cardboard panel is labelled "USB PORT." A cable has been inserted into this, which leads to a laptop sitting beside the apparent pilot, Sir Seeker, sitting in a full lotus on the floor of the huge cardboard box.

Qryygg pulls a marker from a box to sketch a rough square in the side of the box, and labels it 'OIL'...which he then proceeds to open. He pulls out a dipstick and checks it. "Oil's fine. I'm pretty sure it's an ID10T error. In other words, the driver is a fuckup."

They stare at the squabbling trio in astonishment.

1. "How, exactly, did you two get here?" Sara finally asks.
2. "Need a lift? Room for a few more!" Sir Seeker invites them along, answering any questions they may have..
3. Sara and Jasper borrow the markers, and then use them to label cardboard mailing tubes "ANTITANK ROCKETS," "MACHINE GUNS, " and "MONEY PRINTER."
4. The three of them scratch out INTERDIMENTIONAL TRANSPORT and replace it with SUV. And so it is.
