The scene unfolds to show a small group of men standing on a space station docking platform. In the background is a small shuttle racing from the massive shape of a YV-666. The small shuttle rockets towards the docking bay, eager to pickup its newest cargo. Hundreds are arrayed behind the security lines as they watch on in awe, wondering what will happen and who will win. The large armored guards of the Galactic Shockball League security forces keep the crowd in line and away from the drawing participants.
As the scene continues to play on, Commissioner Corbin Esco makes his was out from a side room and greats the gathered people...the fans. He smiles whole-heartedly as he looks out among the cheering fans, he raises his hand for silence and then begins. `I would like to thank each of you for finding the time to make it out here and to support the GSL, we appreciate all of you very much.` he takes a moment and turns to the group of men beside him, obviously the men in the drawing for the capital class behemoth that lays just outside the transparasteel viewport. `And I thank you all for making the Shockball League as profitable as it has been. Without any further delay, let us find out which of these lucky men will walk away with this fine prize, shall we?`
Esco makes his way to a large covered cargo canister and reaches his hand under the black felt covering. He digs around for a moment, stirring all the objects inside, then slowly starts to withdraw his hand. As it clears the edge of the container everyone can clearly see it`s a Shockball betting chip. Esco looks at it, then walks to the crowd and displays it as the people read it for themselves. `The winner of the YV-666 is: Riley Mccoy!` Esco says. No sooner do the words escape from his mouth then the small-enclosed docking bay erupts with cheers from the massed fans. Riley takes his time as the men he\'s standing with take a moment to congratulate him, then make their way past the fans and out of the room. Esco escorts Riley to the waiting shuttle and climbs aboard with him to give him a tour of his newest addition.
The picture fades to black as the sleek shuttle makes its graceful arc towards the massive waiting ship.
