DSI Story 01

**CHAPTER ONE**

Well, it had been quite the couple of days for Syrhen. Turns out drinking coffee and flying isn't ideal, esp when you're trying to do four other things at the same time. Long story short; the coffee and his controls had had an argument, which the controls had lost, and so now said controls. Along with the rest of his ship, were at the bottom of Evergreen Harbor. Syrhen was amazed no one had heard the massive splash of his ship hitting the water, honestly. But for better or worse, he was here now.

Finding somewhere to live hadn't been the easiest thing in the world. Once he'd figured out the best way to disguise himself, Syrhen has taken some of his less ... probe-y things from his ship to try and sell. The stuff that looked cool, wasn't deadly, and most importantly, hadn't been destroyed in the crash. After searching around for a while, he found a guy in Strangerville who was willing to guy his "Unidentified Items" for a decent price, which he then used to pay for the deposit and a couple of weeks rent on the apartment he'd found in Evergreen Harbor. Though he'd need to find a way to make money soon, if this whole "living" thing was going to work out

As for the apartment, rent was down because the area was undergoing a bunch of regeneration. Noise trucks and machinery meant cheaper rent for now, but Syrhen was pretty sure it was going to be going up soon. The only trouble was his neighbour next door. When he went out to check his mail the morning after moving in, his neighbour came out to introduce himself as Rho. He was quite friendly ... a little too friendly for Syrhen

Syrhen wasn't really down for the whole "let's be friends" thing. A quick blast of amnesia should hopefully be enough to keep Rho from getting too friendly again in the future, all being well

Rho didn't really remember too much of that morning, He remembered getting out of bed, then suddenly he was watching TV at midday ... guess time must've gotten away with him. Who knows? Either way, doesn't matter he had an audition to get ready for the next day

The next morning, Rho was feeling quite a lot better, and decided to head out to the beach. His audition was for a pirate themed show, so surely the sea would be good for getting himself into the right headspace. Either way, it was a good excuse to invite his sister, Cyrus, out to hang around

Rho's audition was later that evening, and he got the part ... only just though. It'd be down to him and the other hopeful for the lead, so Rho was feeling quite stressed that evening, all he needed was a chance to relax and have a good night's sleep

Then who should start making a racket in the middle of the night? His new neighbour. Hardly the introduction Rho had been hoping for, but he was pissed off. He tried knocking politely on the door, several times in fact, but the only way he managed to get his neighbour's attention was pounding on the door. When the man did eventually walk out, Rho was pretty damn angry and gave the man a piece of his mind ... Guess the "friendly introduction" wasn't quite what he'd been expecting. Though the other man was acting like he already knew Rho. Not to mention, Rho was certain he'd already met someone with those tattoos ...
