While I was on task I was heading to grab the drop pod Goku came to earth in I had collected a bunch of random possible useful crap on the way. I had also put the namekian ship in a storage capsule along with some handy dandy raw materials. Things like large deposits of Katchin, Some Blood Rubies which seem magical, Some interesting gemstones such as the mermaid's tear and the sleeping princess. There was a whole ordeal with a vampire man and some fish protecting these items, but they were fairly weak and stupid.
I mean seriously the vampire guy wanted to use the sleeping princess to blow up the sun. I was just astonished by the stupidity. Its a wonder why no one stopped him with his plans. Since they wouldn't have worked in the first place. I also picked up a ton of plants around that had varying effects. I used an encyclopedia to find them. They would be handy for creating the stuff Korin told me about. The last thing I wanted to pick up was the sacred crown. However the stupid thing just led to more problems. Like attracting a giant storm that followed me off the damned mountain the thing was left on.
I could only sigh as I landed near Grandpa Gohan's house. There were a bunch of bamboo and random trees. The tree Gohan told me he had buried the pod under was pretty easy to find. There was a bench and a small training weight set built to the tree. It seemed Gohan had used it as a training area for Goku when he was a kid.
Using some ki blasts to dig up the dirt a metal wall had been revealed. Which was basically the drop pod. Creating a force-field around the pod I lifted it out of the whole displacing a whole lot of dirt. The door was broken and the inside was a mess, but over all the pod was fine.
Placing the drop pod down I hop in it to get a better view of the interior. The chair was a red dirty chair and the controls for the pod were on both sides of the pod. It was all simple stuff, a button to start the pod that didn't work. A button to increase height and then an opposing button to decrease height. On the right was the joy stick to control direction and a keyboard to input what looked like auto-pilot. A small remote was tucked into panel with only three buttons. A unlock and lock button, A call button that made the pod go to you and a self-destruct button. Real useful that one...
I ran my hands around the sides for compartments and I found a few with some supplies in it. One pocket on the seat held a bunch of rations of some unknown moldy jerky. Another had a large pouch of water, but it had a hole in it so all the water was spilled out. The third compartment had some sort of...beans?
Taking the container out there were 3 beans in a sealed container. The beans kind of looked like deformed peas? I could study them later. Off the top of my head they were likely saibamen right? Except would saibamen really be included in a drop pod for a child? It seemed unlikely so maybe the beans were for farming or something who knows right?
One pocket had a outdated and much worse scouter than the one I had. Along with a ki gun? It was a cylinder with a small wrist attachment. So I guessed it was a blaster of some kind? A simple tool to manifest ki for those that are new to it like a saiyan baby. Made enough sense to me, there was also a booklet that seemed to be manual. It was in galactic standard so i could read it if I wanted but I didn't really need to. Searching for anything else I had found a small pocket on the ceiling.
The pocket on the ceiling was slightly covered and was like one of those sun blocker things. Grabbing the items in the pocket, one of them was just a picture. A small border-less picture of two saiyans. It was obvious who they were, the likeness to Goku was clear. I pocketed the photo, I could give it to Goku some time if he wants it. Though I doubted it he never he even knew who they were... The second item was a note clipped to the picture. It was in a woman's handwriting and reading it was a little...
~To our youngest son, may your brother find you. We sent you to this planet to survive and live your life. Don't try to find us, we are likely already gone. Your father has foreseen the possibility of the death of our race. I hope that our killer never finds you... Good luck and your mama and papa love you.~
The note was written in a hurry and was a basic amount of information. I kept the note with the picture, it wasn't that important, but maybe I could do something with it. I got out of the drop pod and slammed the broken door on the pod. Creating a force-field around the pod I would now take it to Bulma. What she did with it I didn't care.
