Capsule Corporation (カプセルコーポレーション, Kapuseru Kōporēshon) is a company founded in Age 712,[2] and is run by Dr. Brief, Bulma's father. The corporation is based around, and takes its name from, the Hoi-Poi Capsules (also known as DynoCaps) invented by Dr. Brief himself.

Overview
Building

the Atrium The Capsule Corporation headquarters, which is also the Brief family's home, is located in West City, with its address being WST 3338926 K. The building, and the surrounding area, is large enough to have held the whole of the Namekian race after Frieza destroyed their planet and until they are wished to New Namek.Dr. Brief's labThe dome shaped building has three floors and a basement.[3] The entrance is the lobby where the Receptionist is and that leads to the Atrium (nakaniwia) in the buildings interior, the space is nearly column free (which implies the house is monolithic) where dinosaurs, cats,[4]dogs,[4] and other animals live.[5] The Atrium contains a Sparring Arena, and leads to the Capsule Room. There are also the exhibit room,[6] the Central Computer Room (opened with a Red Access Card), the Security with a small jail, Dr. Brief's lab and workshop on level 01. The Brief family's rooms, notably Bulma's room (where Tapion tells his history to Bulma), are on level 02. On level 03, there are the West Tower and East Tower (opened with a Blue Access Card).Bulma's roomThe storage room for Capsule Corporation is where Bulma found the Two-Star Ball before the start of the Dragon Ball story. There is a secret underground basement where Future Bulma built the Time Machine in her timeline. Also, a Gravity Machine was built in the building between the end of the Cell Games Saga and the beginning of the Great Saiyaman Saga for Vegeta's training. It is used by Vegeta and his son Trunks during their preparation for the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament.Company


Due to the invention and production of the extremely popular and useful capsules, the Capsule Corporation is one of the largest, richest and most influential companies in the world. At one point, the Capsule Corporation and the Red Ribbon Army were competitive rivals in the business race, but the creation of the DynoCaps from Capsule Corporation resulted in the Red Ribbon Army losing to it.

In "The Strangest Robot" it is claimed that C-6 had been burried in Nemuria Ruins for 80 years by Age 761, which means that the Capsule Corp. had been around since at least Age 681.
Z Fighters on the balconyAlthough Capsule Corp's primary product is the DynoCaps technology, the company also develops and produces many of the items found within capsules. This can be seen by vehicles and other items bearing the Capsule Corporation logo. Using the resources of Capsule Corporation, Bulma and Dr. Brief have created many useful items essential to the Dragon Team, including several interstellar spacecrafts, a Time Machine, and Gravity Machines. The company also produces computers, laptops and different products used for scientific research.

Due to the Brief family's long association with several alien visitors which began with Tights and her family meeting Jaco in Jaco the Galactic Patrolman and continued with Bulma's friendship with the Saiyan Goku, the Namekians, opposition to the Frieza Force, and Saiyan Prince Vegeta whom she eventually fell in love with and married, the company has gained access to various pieces of alien technology that they've managed to reverse engineer such as Battle Armor, Scouter, and Attack Ball. Bulma studied Jaco's Spaceship as a child while repairing it for him and even did a test flight herself. Bulma and Dr. Brief's also studied the Nameless Namek's Spaceship while adapting it for use by the Dragon Team and Dr. Brief's with the remains of Goku's Attack Ball later developed a spaceship with an engine capable of reaching Namek in six days . Additionally Bulma and Dr. Brief's studied Android 16 while repairing him and Bulma studied Android 17's blueprints gaining an understanding of Dr. Gero's scientific work in Android development, knowledge which they applied to more noble and/or peaceful purposes such as the potential medical applications for said technology or advancements in artificial intelligence, cybernetics, and/or robotics.
The Capsule Corporation logoThe Capsule Corporation logo is very simple, with just being two letters "C" and the company name. The logo is worn by the Capsule Corporation workers. Android 16 wears the Capsule Corporation logo over his Red Ribbon logo after being fixed by Bulma and her father. In Battle of Gods, it is revealed by Chi-Chi that Dr. Brief is the richest man in the world due to his company and inventions though Dr. Brief himself and his wife were ironically oblivious of this fact until Chi-Chi pointed it out to Mr. Satan when he mistook Dr. Brief for one of the catering staff at Bulma's birthday party. In Dragon Ball Super and Resurrection ‘F’, a female employee named Staff appears as one of the workers at the Capsule Corporation and during the God of Destruction Beerus Saga, interrupted Vegeta's gravity training in to inform him he had a phone call from Bulma whom was angry at Vegeta for missing her birthday party on the Princess Bulma.Ranger Android 17 and the Capsule Corporation employed Android 18 arrive to offer assistanceDuring the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga, the Capsule Corporation supports Galactic Patrol and Deputized Dragon Team members by paying Android 18 10 million Zeni to work with the Galactic Patrol and her brother in confronting the Moro Corps invasion. When 18 reveals what the Capsule Corporation is paying her, Android 17 notes it makes it sound like their mercenaries even though he joined the fight to protect the Earth and nature as Planet Eater Moro is a threat to both. Like her brother, Android 18 is immune to Moro's Ki stealing powers making the two Androids ideal fighters to counter Seven-Three and Moro due to their infinite energy and lack of ki thus by employing her, the Capsule Corporation gives the Galactic Patrol another ally who can assist in combating Moro and the emotionless alien Android Seven-Three (who has copied Moro's abilities).

[Ginger]

In a small shack like house located quite close to Capsule Corporation, Ginger comes out to tend to her little chicken coop where several chickens just sit outside waiting for her to feed them. She smiles and gives them their meal as she then moves to the coop to gently collect the freshly laid eggs and gives a smile to her birds.

“ Great job Girls! This is the most eggs you’ve given me so far!” She said joyfully as she goes to the beehive and again is greatly surprised. She dons her bee suit and gently collects the good amount of honeycomb loaded with fresh honey.

“ Oohh, thank you! Keep up the good work!” She then sets her eggs and honey in the house then moves to her garden. She harvests various fruits and vegetables ripe and ready for picking. It was getting warm but she knew she promised Bulma a good crop of her finest cherries from her cherry tree.

“ I sure hope Bulma likes these. I’ve been taking very good care of this tree and it’s the first time I’ve seen this many cherries.”

[Silverheart]

At one of the many clusters of spaceship pads scattered about the complex sits a large crab-like ship the size of a mansion taking up 4 whole platforms just opposite the fence line of Ginger's little house. One of the Crabhammer Dreadnaught Class of ships from Frieza's fleet stolen in desperate defection by two saiyan sisters and the human explorer Captain Silverheart. Dents, laser burns and scratches from asteroids still mark the ship as having seen better days. From atop the boarding ramp dressed in his usual brown poofy pants, black vest and the twin tails of his red headwrap billowing in the wind, Silverheart stretches, fresh from a nap in one of the still functional stasis pods, and walks down to look over the area. Echoes of the latest news play on a widescreen display in the ship's foyer. Not long behind him follow the two saiyan sisters dressed in purple and pink fur robes, the tough looking Seleria and gentle Karin.

"It seems the virus I was infected with on that worm planet has slowed down quite a bit." Says Seleria. Swinging her arm in a slow wide stretch as if she were preparing to spar.

"Oh yes! The medical computer said it wouldn't take effect again for about a month. At least that was what it said before I um...accidentally kicked over the steel power cord." Stammered Karin bringing one hand to her mouth at remembering the event. Her other hand held a basket of fresh bread from one of the ships functioning food replicators.

:"In that case, we have only a month to locate the dragon balls and wish away that virus...or hope the Briefs have an alternate antidote." Replied Silverheart.

"Oh my, it looks as though one of the bread loaves isn't fully cooked yet. That replicator is still being buggy." Says Karin as she takes a loaf out and starts to charge her ki slightly.
Suddenly the wind catches a dandelion scattering its little white fluffs about...with one landing just under Karin's nose...
"AHH---chu!" Karin sneezes cutely. It would have been completely innocent if the sneeze hadn't spiked her ki to overcook the bread to ashes, and send a beam of energy flying out of the complex narrowly missing 3 hovercars, exploding the wing of a nearby mercenary airship, causing it to crash into one of West City's most infamous Correctional Facilities in a reddish mushroom cloud.

"Oops!" Exclaims the Embarrassed Karin. "The bread is too toasty! I'm sorreeeey!"

Silverheart looks around at the chain of events and calmly sighs with a smile. "This kind of thing probably happens all the time here." His ears perk up to the sound of chickens next door. "Perhaps the neighbor's birds would like the crumbs?"

[Ginger]

The large monstrosity of a ship did indeed catch Ginger’s attention, yet she was also well aware of what was going on and to expect suspicious things to crop up at a moments notice. Yet she was not about to let suspicious activity go unnoticed. As she harvests the cherries from her tree, she makes it appear that she barely notices the large ship right beside her property. After filling her cherry basket, she sets it down gently and grapes a second basket to get to work on filling it or at least appear to be filling it. It’s at this time where two red squirrels greet her on a branch just above her head. “ Just in time, Cinnamon and Nutmeg. I’m not sure what that’s doing here but whatever it is, I’m sure Bulma would want to know about it. Here, I’m writing a note. Deliver this to her, and act like you two are chasing each other for this hollowed out almond shell, that looks like an almond you’re fighting over. Act natural, and do what squirrels do best. You got this girls.” Being quiet enough so is not to let any sound carry over, she sends the squirrels with a note that describes everything she sees at her house. She also cautions Bulma to be extra vigilant with the dragon balls because she’s not sure but she thinks that ship being there could have something to do with that.

The squirrels are given the note and do exactly as told. Since Bulma was close, it didn’t take them long to get to her residence.

[Bulma]

Bulma was in the lab with her dad, she was watching him work on some new gadgets when they felt the building shake. She looked at her dad briefly and said, "What was that?..." She then went out onto the upper balcony and looked out and saw smoke in the near distance. She could only barely make out a ship. She then went down and outside and as she did she was greeted by a couple squirrels. they were playing and one dropped a note. She picked it up and read it. it only confirmed what she just saw and she went over to where Ginger was and she said, "Looks like our afternoon treat of that yummy cherry pie is gonna have to wait a bit...I need to find out what that is."

She then walked over to where the ship crashed and she hid by a tree unsure of what to think at first. She then cautiously walked up to it and was looking at the thing and wondered if its residents were ok after looking at the crater it made...

[Ginger]

Ginger quietly joins Bulma with a nod as the squirrels join them as well. Her chickens quickly retreat to their coop as a survival reflex . “ I’m glad you got my squirrel gram. It was the only way to contact you without raising suspicion from my unexpected neighbors. The less they know that the alert went out, the easier it will be to secure our parameters from all sides.” She quietly explains. She sighs at the crater left behind by the ship. She had just planted a small patch of grain there and now thanks to her neighbors, a good amount of grain seed had just been lost. She had paid quite a bit for it too. “ So much for that new grain patch I planted. I saved up for months to start that patch and I was gonna use the grain to give to charity. I can always get more seed and start over but those poor people I promised to help. It’s gonna take me even longer to recover. But those poor people are going hungry now. I suppose I could use my eggs, honey, fruits and vegetables for now until I recover. Hmmm, I wonder, do ya think we can get them to slave over what they destroyed and do all the grunt work to make up for the damage?”

Hmmm, I wonder, do ya think we can get them to slave over what they destroyed and do all the grunt work to make up for the damage?”

Bulma was started when Ginger came over to where she was near the ship. She looked at Ginger and she said, "I'm not so sure that is a good idea...we don't know who is in that ship..." She said then looked at the beautiful garden the ship destroyed and she signed.

"Don't worry...I will help you fix this up, but I thing right now you should go into my place and go find my father and stay with him. I will see if I can find out what the residents are of this ship." And she turned and pushed her off so she would get out of any danger.

[Ginger]

Ginger lands in her knees and gets back to her feet. Bulma was right. And with a nod she smiles with a thumbs up. The chickens would be alright. She had let them alone for a couple of days with the coop door open, so they could forage for bugs and leftover seeds on the ground. She quickly goes to the coop and opens the door to do just that. “ Thank you Bulma, I owe you and your dad a banquet. Gotta grab what I got from the coop and the garden that luckily survived. I’ll take the food to your place and we can all have a feast . Be careful, who knows who’s in that thing and if they’re friendly. Oh, if you need backup, just tell Cinnamon and Nutmeg to rattle the hive. Those bees know you and they shouldn’t sting you. They will create enough diversion to allow you guys ta bug outa there in a hurry. I did that trick on a burglar who was trying to steal my chickens once. Okay, I’m outa here.” Ginger quickly gathers all the food items she gathered and takes them to her pickup truck. It takes two attempts to get it started but in a plume of white smoke, she’s on her way to Bulmas home. The squirrels stay with Bulma as they lend their ears to listen for any strange noises. Ginger wasn’t a warrior, but her resourceful skills helped to keep her well sustained throughout her early years.

[Silverheart]

After letting his eyes and body adjust to the sights and weight of Earth's gravity once more, and after the brief 'oopsie' that just occurred, Silverheart began to feel the difference between Earth's gravity, the planet he went to explore, and the artificial gravity from the starship. Also adjusting to his new fractional Saiyan biology, he began to very minutely sense the ki in his two Saiyan companions and very faintly the area around them. Two such signatures were coming from behind the starship. Though it seemed as though one had left the area. As he turned to look closer at the craft, he finally noticed the scars and dents that wracked the hull, but also the outline of the crater the massive ship made upon landing, as well as the ring of piled up soil in the grassy areas including parts of the neighbor's yard. "These things aren't meant for cities are they?" he said aloud to himself. "I'll be right back you two." he called to the Saiyan girls and walked in the direction of the remaining lone signature.
Upon seeing the source of the ki signal he immediately recognized her as the daughter of Dr. Briefs if only by her blue hair. Though there were no ranks per se in the Corporation ladder, he saw her as no different from the princess of a castle. Because she traveled around so often, he never met her face to face, and only heard or read bits and pieces of her Dragon Ball exploits. In both respect for the princess he sees her has, but also as the first Earth human he has seen in weeks, he simultaneously brought his right fist to his left breast in salute and fell to his knees. Thoughts of his virus-plagued rescuer, his new biology makeup, and intel from his deep space mission flooded his mind.
"M-Miss Briefs, I am Captain Silverheart of the Black Ops Deep Space Exploration mission Echo-Echo two-four (EE 24). We launched two weeks ago with only myself and my Class A ship under cover of night. I have valuable intel from my mission, but also a lot has happened since then." The exchange of fire that took place on the alien planet and the sacrifice dive he made to save Seleria, and the transfusion she made to save him in return made their way to the front of his racing thoughts, causing him to wince at the memory. "In a twist of events, I met with two sisters of the alien Saiyan species when they fell under attack. Names are Seleria and Karin. One of them stole this ship from the fleet of their overlord...Frieza I think? In my eyes they seemed harmless and dove in front of the riflemen. I awoke later to find that they used a transfusion of their own blood to save me, loaded my ship into the cargo bay of this large one, and made our way back here. The one called Seleria seems to be slowly dying from some kind of space virus. I wish to repay her generosity...but I've no idea how to cure it. I heard from some reports about the legend of these Dragon Ball orbs, and that you knew something about them." His eyes began a slight tremble as he finished his report. "I've no idea what to do about it...I don't know how I'm still alive...all I know is I don't want to watch her just shrivel away like she was nothing!" Realizing he had droned on for a bit if only from mission exhaustion, he quickly caught himself in it. "Heh, Silverheart you rambling fool."

Realizing he had droned on for a bit if only from mission exhaustion, he quickly caught himself in it. "Heh, Silverheart you rambling fool."

Bulma was startled when a young man that looked like a human stepped out of the ship and greeted her. She then did a quick once over of the ship and couldn't recognize it. She then looked at the young man and said, "I am sorry but do I know you?...how do you know who I am and how do you know about the dragon balls??..." She said then listened as he rambled on.

As she listened to him she couldn't feel anything threatening about him, in fact his manners were very professional and almost regal and this startled her a bit. She then heard him speak about her Father and she said, "You knew my father?"

She then paused and said, "Gathering the Dragon Balls is not as easy a task as you think, but before I even think about doing that I would like to see your ailing friend..."

[Silverheart]

Feeling slightly silly at both saluting in formality to the heir to Capsule Corp, and at the same time dropping to his knees in awe that he somehow made it back "home," he cleared his throat, quickly standing back up, and lowering his salute. "Yes *ahem* I'm not sure if I should apologize for my lack of additional formality or lack of Earth casualness. In short, I had a princess I served alongside back in the kingdom I lived in before landing here. You're also the first Earth human I've seen for two weeks, so it's both a welcome sight and an honor. Your father spoke brief...pardon the unintended name pun...brief about you. Said you hunted these wish-granting orbs years ago with a boy named...Son Goku? If I may highlight, this ship we brought back has some armor and tech you or your dad may have an interest in."
Looking back over his shoulder, he waved at the two Saiyan sisters to come over. "And yes, please see what you can do for her virus. Between the ship tech and CC's, if you see something we missed, perhaps the DBs might not be needed."
Remembering the circle of soil made by the ship's landing cycle he lowered his head in regret but lifted it again as his eyes widened in reassurance. "And...tell your neighbor I'm sorry about the mess. This thing flies like a semi truck on it's last two tires after a demo derby. If it's food they'd want replaced, there's a replicator in the ship."
As the two sisters approach, he turns and rests a hand on Seleria's shoulder. "Seleria and Karin, this is Bulma Briefs, daughter of the Techmaster of this planet. They want to analyze your alien virus problem." He looks Seleria deep in her eyes, and both have a resting calmness that one would see in a couple. "There are no Frieza forces here. You are safe from them. I doubt anything here could break you, but also please be nice to the people and equipment." He then briefly glances at the tiny puff of smoke in the distance before looking back at Karin. "Go ahead and take the bread in with you but I think it...and everything else inside doesn't need recooking."

"Go ahead and take the bread in with you but I think it...and everything else inside doesn't need recooking."

Bulma looked at Silverheart and she was momentarily silenced as she stared at him. She then said, "Ahh yeah...but that was some time ago. Goku is now a grown man and has a family..." She paused then said, "You said you came from a different world...but you look human?...I don't remember stories of humans doing much space travel?..."

She then looked at the two Saiyan females and she could tell they were like Goku by the crazy hair. She then looked at the one who was afflicted with a virus and her instincts to help immediately jumped in as the girl looked pale and ready to faint. She ran over and grabbed the girl to steady her and she said, "You will have to speak with my father...he has to knowledge to help you..." she then looked at the ship and she said, "We will have to find another place for this thing...it's wrecking our garden..." She then guided them over to the main house and lead them to her fathers lab where he was busy working.

[Ginger]

Ginger knew where the kitchen was but yet it’s size was much larger than hers. She looks around while putting the food down gently on a counter. But she pretty much knew where everything was because she had cooked for the Brief family numerous times. Cooking to her isn’t work, and she always has fun while doing so. She takes great delight preparing a dough for dumplings stuffed with a mixture of carrots, scallions, and Thinly sliced Mushrooms.
the dumplings are assembled and carefully placed in a steamer. In another large pot, she has a vegetable soup slowly simmering on the stove, and in the oven the cherry pie she promised Bulma. She also has a poached salmon on the stove along with a sautée of tuna kabobs she picked up at a local market that happened to be with the food she took to Bulmas place so nothing would go bad. The aromas of fresh ginger root , soy sauce and cherry pie fill the kitchen and yet she wasn’t stopping there. She had also brought a bread dough she had started at her home and gets it ready for baking. As the pie comes out, the bread goes in. As her dumplings finish cooking she plates the first batch and puts on another batch which is filled with potatoes. Ginger also prepares the eggs to make them deviled with a sprinkle of paprika on them. Every so often, a chicken would grow too old to lay eggs so she would have to turn it into a food source. She now prepares a chicken that grew old to turn into a base for a ramen noodle dish. Now the aromas were escaping the kitchen, as she smiles and breathes in the aromas.

[Dr. Briefs]

The glow of a bright computer screen and rapid typing filled the lab when Dr. Briefs heard the sliding doors open. Unsurprised to hear the light footsteps of his daughter, but rather surprised at hearing three more pairs of feet, he looked up to see who walked in. "Oh, good day, Bulma dear. What brings you in here...Oh goodness! Captain Silverheart?! I didn't know you had returned! Your transmission stopped once you entered that wormhole you reported on and we hadn't heard from you since! And who are these two girls you brought with you? Quite a crew I must say." He rose to his feet, hand on his chin as he studied the two Saiyan sisters, looking over their interesting hair, stopping at Karin's. "I could almost mistake this one for you, Bulma. What might your names be?"

[Seleria]

Following Silverheart, her sister Karin and this new blue-haired girl Bulma into the large domed building, they passed by many people that to her resembled Saiyans, but with softer hair and even weaker power levels. Thinking these were 'humans' as Silverheart mentioned, she noted the lab coats most of them wore as they paused briefly to watch the four walk by before resuming their busy ant-like scurrying around their duties. As Silverheart introduced their situation to an older green-haired man, Seleria wondered at how old he was, considering most of the Saiyans she had seen images of never showed much facial heir or aging. However, though the time in the healing chamber slowed the weakening effects of the virus, she could still feel the drain of it tug hard at her energy.

As Silverheart walked past and promised to spar with her after they checked her condition out, she returned the smile with a wink. "I'll look forward to it...rookie." If not the thrill of someone she could fight on equal strength with was what kept her going, then it was her drive to not let her life that he saved be for nothing, as well as so she could continue to be there for the life she saved in turn.

Her mood became uneasy as she remembered she only had a purple robe on, and looked at Dr. Briefs, then turned to Bulma. "Um miss...Bulma? I know he's supposed to analyze me and stuff but...would you happen to have some garments that could hide..." She blushed and looked away whispering. "There are some things I'd rather not show a man I just met."

[Ginger]

With everything now prepared and plated, Ginger knew that Dr.Briefs would probably be in his laboratory hard at work. She thought it best to put everything on a good sized cart, and set it up with her delicious meal, plates, bowls , napkins and silverware along with serving pieces. She also has freshly made lemonade on her cart and glasses lightly chilled. She carefully wheels the cart to the laboratory where she finds Bulma, her father and three other guests. She smiles as she presents a feast for everyone. “ Hi, I thought I’d bring the feast to you here. I’m Ginger, I live in the little house next to this complex. Here, come and eat something, I hope you like it.”

[Silverheart]

Before he could turn to leave or answer about the mission, a cheery woman came rolling through with a cart full of food. "The first Earth meal after a long trip home in a beat up ship and a faulty replicator...yes please." Replied Silverheart. He turned to Dr. Briefs and smiled. "Looks like I'll have to brief you later...no pun intended."

Looking to Seleria and Karin he pointed to a nearby conference table and said "I will get you to the sickbay Seleria, but I'm sure you won't mind waiting until after you've tried Earth food."

Lastly before sitting down, he turned back the the lady named Ginger and gave a slight bow. "I must apologize for the crater we made upon reentry and landing." Thinking about mentioning nothing related to deep space or narrow escapes, Silverheart changed up his story a little. "As I informed Bulma, this new super ship I salvaged from one of the old Red Ribbon bases handles like a semi truck on its last two tires in a demo derby."

[Karin]

Passing by many people on the way in whom Silverheart referred to as 'humans" though they looked just like her, she was thrilled that this new one came in with a cart full of food. Hearing that she was the one who lived next door, Karin realized that it was her garden they accidentally landed halfway on. "Oh my, I would love some food. Thank you! Oh but, was that your garden we crash landed near? I'm terribly sorry! If there's anything that needs replacing, I've been an ace at growing blue carrots and flowers since I was little." She sets a basket of bread and blue carrots she had been keeping behind her back on the table near the cart. "Oh sis, could we stay for a little?"

[Seleria]

Seeing this new "human" woman enter the room with a cart full of food, the smells overtook any feelings of sickness she had. "I guess we could stay to eat first. Anything is better than the food from the replicator this past week." She sits down next to Silverheart and Karin at the conference table and looks over to Silverheart with a smile. "This is turning out to be one cozy planet."

[Ginger]

A garden could always be replaced easily. Ginger gives Silverheart a friendly smile and offers him a good portion of food as she does for Karin and Selaria. That was behind her now. She could definitely see that they were very kind people and any apprehension she had earlier was gone. “ Sometimes things happen for a reason. Maybe you landing beside my house was meant to happen. Actually I’m glad it did. You’re more than welcome to stay beside my house. It’ll be nice to have neighbors. “ She says as she continues to serve Bulma and her father. She then looks to Karin with a gentile expression. “ I love carrots, of course, let’s do that, we can plant them in a garden next to your ship. And about the ship, what if we worked around the crater and planted some of your favorite flowers around it along with putting up a decorative fence of some sort? We can make it work. After all it also serves as your home and it really shouldn’t be taken away from you.” Resourcefulness kicks in as Ginger finds ways around awkward positions and turns them into positive possibilities. She then turns to Bulma and Dr. Briefs. “ Is it okay if Silverheart shares my property with me and keeps his ship as his home? I’m willing to help them convert their ship into a comfortable home. And the more people on the gardens, the better they become.”

[Dr. Briefs]

Dr. Briefs looks over the spread of food from the single little cart Ginger brought over. "I don't see why not. After all, it may take some time to repair it, or at least salvage what's left inside. Who knew there were ships like these out in space?"
He looked over to Silverheart and thought over the accidental pun. "Oh my, good one! You can actually brief us right here. Ginger is the best secret keeper we know."
He looks to Seleria and nods "And yes my dear visitor, I'll give you your lady's privacy and some alternate clothing while we scan your life signs."

[Silverheart]

Silverheart thought about the different facilities and systems the ship had. "That might work to our advantage. I still have my capsule ship aboard this one. And whoever this one belonged to might come looking for it. I'd rather they see a vine covered derelict "building" than one of their own warships out in the open."

Looking around at everyone including Ginger, he took a deep breath as he began his debrief. A lot has happened since the wormhole jump. Planetary landing and good alien hospitality from this one named Karin..." He motions to the one in blue hair and pink robe. "Evil overlord starship hijacking, got shot in the chest saving this one, Seleria..." He gestures to the girl in green spiky hair and purple robe. "And saved by a blood transfusion from her. Turns out she was an...exterminator if you will, for this empire and got infected by some kind of virus. The transfusion gave me increased muscle and senses, but left her weakened from the virus. I felt the best way to repay her was to find a way to take it out of her, but the ship she stole, however highly advanced it may seem compared to ours, had no way of removing it. My next best call was to return to Earth and hope that you knew something I didn't. Or if all else failed...track down the elusive DBs and wish it away. In brisk overview, Karin is apparently good at operating the ship's tech and a wiz at gardening. While Seleria has highly advanced combat training that could put even your friend Son Goku to the test.
Knowing he was not only among brilliant minds, he looked to Ginger. "Madam Ginger, in short, these two fine ladies are low-key alien superhero sisters, and now it turns out I'm one as well. This deep space mission was supposed to be a black op. But since I'm told you're in the Super Secret Stuff club, I trust you'll only keep this only among those who can handle such towering news. Your hospitality and discretion will be invaluable more than you know, and I thank you."
Finishing his meal he gets up, turns to Karin and Seleria, and smiles. "I'll go back to the ship with Karin and clean up our messy entrance. I want to go another round with you after they check Seleria out. I'm starting to get hooked on this strength you gave me."

[Bulma]

When Bulma walked into her fathers lab she was surprised when he really did know this guy. She then turned and looked at them a moment and noticed the one who had the mystery virus was barely dressed. She then said, "Yeah I think I can get you some clothes."

She then saw Ginger walk in with food and she gave a smile and said to her, "I need to help Seleria with some clothing...can you set up a place to eat over there at that table and we will be right back."

She then turned to Seleria and and said, "Follow me..." And she led the way out of the lab and took her up to her private rooms and she and showed her in then went to her closet and started rummaging around and as she was she said, "You look about the same size as me...let me see if I can find a pair of pants and a shirt..." She then found something that looked decent and brought it out. it was a pair of blue jeans and a pink shirt with a capsule corp logo on it. she gave a giggle and said, " Sorry this is all I could find...sorry about the logo, we just have a habit of labeling everything with our logo..." she then handed the clothes over to the saiyan girl.

[Ginger]

Secrecy is another of Gingers attributes and she was more than willing to keep everything she’s told under wraps. She looks to Dr. Briefs with a smile and was happy to know that he liked her suggestion. “Thank you Dr. Briefs. I promise I will keep everything in accordance to our zoning regulations.” As she prepares the cart to transport it to where Bulma had suggested she gives an assured nod to Silverheart. Whatever he’s told her was imperative that it never left the building. She was also very good at playing the part of a clueless citizen. After all, she has the impression of an industrious farmer/ chef with the know how to produce food and necessities on her own. But she also had good technical sense and how to keep her communications down wind so is not to divulge anything she felt was classified. “ Don’t worry, I’m aware of how dicey things can get and as far as I know, the only thing I know pertains to my farming and cooking skills. As far as what I know and what you just told me, won’t leave this room. Playing a simple farmer is my specialty. And I’ve even developed a very simple mode of communication. I call it the Squirrel Gram. My little friends, Cinnamon and Nutmeg, are very good curriers. I hollowed out an almond shell where I put tiny notes inside. Then they act like squirrels, and deliver the notes. And when you want to respond, just write back, put it in the Shell and ask them to bring it to me. They look like they know you’re a friend. See how they look to you? They have their ears up and they’re sitting up on their hind legs as if waiting for instructions.”

She now sets up the table Bulma suggested that she used. As she sets up, she thinks about Selaria and her illness. She wondered how she could help the girl. She then looks to her food and smiles. A healthy diet leads to healthy body and state of mind. She wondered if a good diet could help her new found friend heal her own body from within simply by having the proper nutrition to do that. She learned quite a bit about how healthy food can help a body build up immunity and strength. She just needed to note which foods were the most effective for doing so. Carrots we’re definitely on the list but it would take more than carrots to have any positive effects health wise. She looks over her table which had great sources of Omega3 oils, the vegetable soup had plenty of superfoods such as carrots, cabbage, Bok Choy , ginger root, mushrooms and scallions. Her ramen noodle dish also harbored lots of mineral rich ingredients. The only exception was the cherry pies she had baked. Even the bread was nutrient rich with organic wheat flour , I bleached white flour, sunflower and pumpkin seeds she had preserved from a previous crop. After her setup is complete, she approaches Dr Briefs and Silverheart with a smile on her face. “ The table is all set. As soon as Bulma returns with Selaria and Karin, we can enjoy a nice meal. I hope some healthy food will help Selaria. I really like her and Karin and I’d hate to see anything bad happen to them. If it’s okay with both of you, I’d like to try to help Selaria by boosting her own immune system simply by offering her a healthy but tasty diet she can enjoy as well as recover her strength. Good food has lots of medicinal properties without harmful side effects. What do you think? Should I give that a try?”

[Seleria]

Realizing both she sat down at the wrong table and that she was still in her robe, Seleria's eyes widened and calmly got back up. "Oh yes, clothes please ."

In the changing room she notices the logo on all the clothing but also the softness of each garment.
"Oh my Kai, these things are so light! I mean the bodysuit for my armor is thin, but these are like clouds."
She studied Bulma's body shape for a little and gave a small smirk while recalling the different colors and shapes of body srmor on the starship. And being in the company of another girl aside from her sister, she felt for the first rime in forever, a window to relax and play it casual and open up.
"So, Bulma, I'm not into girls or anything, but you look like you would look killer in fancy battle armor! This ship I stole from the bad guys has at least 20 walk-on closets of them. If you see a suit you like, rock it fantsstic. I may seem like a muscle geek, but that's just a Saiyan thing. I know my way around battle faahion."
She gives a wink as she exits the changing room and heads to the prepared table.

[Karin]

Watching as Seleria goes with Bulma to get changed, ahe looks to Ginger and smiles holding up her blue carrot basket. "Go ahead without me, sis. I'll be back in a moment."
She races out the door to catch up to Silverheart. Outside the sounds of rapid fire digging and buffets of air like very quiet fireworks echo about.

As she returns, Karin appears changed from her robe into her armor, consisting of a black body suit, blue hip armor and green upper torso armor, almost resembling the blue carrots she likes. Tied around her waist is a white apron trimmed with little blue carrots and a wide pocket in the middle. Her gloves are black with thin metal spades on the back of each finger, leaving the thumbs exposed. "Sorry if that took longer than I thought. I finished replanting everything, added some blue carrot seeds and dug out new soil ring around the starship leg, then watered them of course. My armor makes me so mobile I can do it in just a matter of minutes."
She takes her gloves off, storing them in her apron pocket, and walks over to the table Ginger had set up.

[Silverheart]

Shortly after Karin enters, the door swings open once more to a dashing and dapper figure. Dressed in a white button shirt and dark silver vest, light brown pants, a blue sash belt, black buckle boots, black leather gloves, a slouch hat with the right brim pinned up by a red eagle feather. The long tails of a red headwrap and a black flag draped around his neck billow easily in the gentle breeze. "Captain Jason Silverheart, Pirate Lord of the Silver Hand Trading Company, and First Explorer of the Capsule Corporation Deep Space Expedition...is home again."

He strolls with a glide over to the table Ginger had prepared, removed his glovesand hat, and sat own resting them just to the right of him. Looking to her he smiled warmly and with a slight anticipation."Madam Ginger, I believe you were about to treat us to the finest food we've had in days."

[Bulma]

Bulma looks at Seleria and she gave a smile and said, "That's ok...I don't think it would be very fitting for me to wear this type of armor, and besides i'm not much of a fighter."

She then walked out of her quarters and heading back to the main room and as she walked in she saw the table being set by Ginger and she gave a smile and said, "Thank you Ginger, this is much appreciated." she then looked over her new visitors and as she did she decided to go talk with her dad and she went to the other room where he was at . When she found him she said, "So what is the story with this, I mean I know we are pretty welcoming but how come you never told me about this Silverheart?"

[Ginger]

Ginger smiles and presents her table to Bulma and the others. Cooking was one of her strongest attributes and one of her greatest pleasures. “ You’re welcome Bulma, thank you for letting me do this for you. It’s not every day I get to do something I really enjoy doing. Oh one question, I was wondering if it was alright with you and your dad if I could extend my small farm to put in a corn field and a pasture to hold a few cows for milk and a couple of dairy goats too? That way I can also make some basic dairy products like milk and cheese to give to the poor who really need nutritious foods. Also make some available for sale too. I haven’t purchased any cows or goats yet but I did find a few that are in my price range. Just two of each, bull and cow and one ram and a ewe . I won’t if I can’t . I fully understand regulations. “ Ginger asks modestly. She was well aware of regulations and was content with keeping what she had already. But if she could, for the good of all citizens, she was willing to take on further responsibilities. She then looks to Silverheart , and gestures to him and everyone that lunch is served.

[Bulma]

Bulma looked at Ginger as she spoke to her and she said, "I love the idea Ginger, but we live in a city and land it not as plentiful here but maybe I can see about acquiring some property outside of the city for you to build your farm...you may actually be able to build a better garden as well and make a living off your work." She gave a smile then said, "Now if you will excuse me I need to talk with my father a moment." She then walked away to go speak with her father.

[Ginger]

Gingers face lights up at the thought. Bulma always had wonderful ideas. Having a place outside the city would definitely be a big benefit for Ginger, who had always grown up on a working farm with her family. Now she was out on her own, on her own accord, to make a living for herself and what a wonderful start that would be for her.
“ Wow, that would actually be a lot better for my chickens and my bees. And the cherry tree that’s in front of my house now, I’m sure a family just starting out would really enjoy the cherries in the summertime. Of course I will plant some new cherry trees when I get my new property. Thank you Bulma, that definitely means a lot to me. Hmm.. Gingersnap Farm.. I like the thought of that very much. And of course I will be sure to bring Nutmeg and Cinnamon with me. Okay while you talk to your dad, I’ll serve our guests.” Ginger says with a bounce in her step, as she prepares to serve everyone with the utmost of hospitality. She always enjoyed helping people and now she was going to have a chance to be able to do that all the time. With tough times sure to loom, she knew that her farming and cooking skills would come in handy.

[Dr. Briefs]

Bulma looks at Seleria and she gave a smile and said, "That's ok...I don't think it would be very fitting for me to wear this type of armor, and besides i'm not much of a fighter."

She then walked out of her quarters and heading back to the main room and as she walked in she saw the table being set by Ginger and she gave a smile and said, "Thank you Ginger, this is much appreciated." she then looked over her new visitors and as she did she decided to go talk with her dad and she went to the other room where he was at . When she found him she said, "So what is the story with this, I mean I know we are pretty welcoming but how come you never told me about this Silverheart?"

Reclining in his office chair thinking back to when Silverheart first landed. "I never knew he was so talented. When he first arrived he was rather curious but kept to himself mostly. Between his delves into old Red Ribbon bases, his quiet studies here and his trips to train under Master Roshi, I didn't think much of him. Then in a haze he jumps on the space mission dressed like he was ready to sail the seven seas."

[Seleria]

Seleria could easily see through Bulma's modesty. "Just in case you change your mind and need to scare someone you know where to find them. You might not think you're much, but I can sense you are someone NOBODY wants to make angry."
She walks out in her new clothes and sits near the far end of the table ready to dine away.

[Silverheart]

With a flick of his flag cape, he sits down at the end of the long table next to Seleria and Karin. From his belt he pulls a round tall glass bottle of silver liquid and gently sets it at arm's length before him. Looking to Ginger his smile is light but he raises a playful eyebrow. "Don't think that I'll only receive and not also give. This is silver rum from the finest brew house in the Kingdom of Soulestara. Not too strong, not too smooth. Still best enjoyed in sips. Which reminds me..." He says as he pulls out a sparkling hand mirror. "I'll need to make contact with my former crew fairly soon. Dice fall right in fate letting me stick around long enough to enjoy one spot, I may send for one of them to join me. There's still much I don't know about this world, and so little you all know about mine."

[Ginger]

Ginger graciously accepts Silverhearts gift with a smile of her own. She often used liquors in some of her desserts and it was perfect for such occasion. “ Wow, thank you Silverheart, that’s very kind of you. I’ve actually been looking for something like this for a certain recipe my grandmother handed down to me for her famous cake . I’ve been wanting to make it forever and now I can . You guys will definitely have to come to my house for an afternoon treat of that cake. Simply delish. And makes for a nice little nip before supper , on the porch. But I’m gonna save it for when you guys come over for dessert .”

With that said, Ginger carefully wraps it up in paper to be sure the bottle doesn’t break. When it came to fine food and spirits, Ginger would treat everything as if it were priceless. The aromas of everything she cooked reflects on her passion for cooking and cultivating the foods she prepares. She could also see how nice it would be to have her new neighbors beside her even when she would acquire the land she needs for her farm. She looks to Karin, Selaria and Silverheart.

“ Now that I’ve met you three and see how very kind you are, I wanna know if you would join me at my farm when Bulma finds the land outside the city. I’d feel kinda lonely out there without some new friends to share it with. Captain Silverheart, Karin, Selaria, would you like to live on the farm with me? We will have a lot of fun growing things we love and growing things to help others in need. Plus, it’ll be fun once I know that I can have a few more farm animals too. Oh, that reminds me, I’ll need a farm dog too. I had one but he got old and passed on. Don’t mind me, it’s that farmer frame of mind that’s getting the better of me.”

[Bulma]

Bulma listened to her father and then said, " That's some vague exclamations dad...at least you could of told me back when you started the project of yours...now we have no idea if their coming here hasn't attracted some less than desirable attention..." She said.

She then paused then said, "Hey wasn't Goku out with Master Roshi and Gohan...I wonder that's going on we haven't heard from them in a while and that's not like them to not check in...?"

"I'm gonna go find Krillen and see if we can go out to master Roshi's and find out what happened..." She said then walked back out to the others and said, "I have to check on a couple friends...we haven't heard back from them in a while and I'm getting concerned"

She then went to leave and as she was heading out the door she saw Krillen walking up the steps. "Hey Krillen!...I was just about to come look for you. Have you seen Goku or Gohan?..."

[Krillin]

Bulma listened to her father and then said, " That's some vague exclamations dad...at least you could of told me back when you started the project of yours...now we have no idea if their coming here hasn't attracted some less than desirable attention..." She said.

She then paused then said, "Hey wasn't Goku out with Master Roshi and Gohan...I wonder that's going on we haven't heard from them in a while and that's not like them to not check in...?"

"I'm gonna go find Krillen and see if we can go out to master Roshi's and find out what happened..." She said then walked back out to the others and said, "I have to check on a couple friends...we haven't heard back from them in a while and I'm getting concerned"

She then went to leave and as she was heading out the door she saw Krillen walking up the steps. "Hey Krillen!...I was just about to come look for you. Have you seen Goku or Gohan?..."

Krillen had not seen Goku or Gohan since he last talked to him. He had said he was heading out to Master Roshi's and he had asked if he wanted to go but he was busy fixing something so he had to decline. But now it's been a few days and he hasn't seen either of them and he began to worry.

He decided to go check with Bulma to see if he might of gone over there but as he was walking up the steps she was coming out.

He then said, "Oh hi Bulma...I was just coming to see you...have you seen Goku around cause I can't find him..."

[Bulma]

Bulma looked at Krillin and she said, "No...I was about to ask you the same thing...I thought he was last with you." She said as she looked at him

[Krillin]

Bulma looked at Krillin and she said, "No...I was about to ask you the same thing...I thought he was last with you." She said as she looked at him

Krillin gave a side smile then gave a shrug and said, "Well I talked to him not so long ago and he was heading to Master Roshi's but I haven't seen him since...I thought he may of come over here. Have you seen him?"

[Bulma]

Bulma grew alarmed and said, "No he hasn't..."

She then thought a moment then said, "Let's go check with Master Roshi...maybe he can get Furtune teller Baba to come and give us a clue as to what is going on...we can take our air craft..." She said and led him over to where their Capsule Corp Air craft was parked.

The both of them got into the aircraft and they took off and headed to Master Roshi's.
