"We should head back soon by the way... ....oooooh! strappy sandals with sparkly bits!"

Deuce enters the hanger and clambers aboard the Ocean Cloud to find McQ sitting down, hooked up to some kind of power supply.

Deuce sticks her head out of the hatch and yells at Noskills. “We found him!"

Deuce gets her weapons and other gear and puts on a backpack.

"Uh, can you spare a few platinum so I can get me a meal? Maybe a room for the night? Or I can come back here, I guess. How long is this hanger rented for?"

I have an idea that should get us better customer service, but it requires a little dressing up.”

They were just gone. I still only remember bits and pieces. This is my place. My new place, I lived with someone during those nine months...now I live with my son.

SR cut's connection and continues his hotwiring of the Nelson.

He then decides to keep JH in the loop and calls him up on comm-link, "Jade me and the boys are tired of being treated like doorstops so we have scheduled a return trip to pick up the ladies later and we are on our way to you, just about,... now."
The final connection is made and the shuttles engines come to life and the Nelson lifts off.

*Jadehand's jaw hits the floor, he scrambles for his com link*
"SR, to quote a favourite old movie of mine, 'YOU MUST CHILL, YOU MUST CHILL!' if you touch the Nelson, harm it in any way, someone is going to be very angry with ME!, guess who that will make me angry with. Go ahead...Guess. Right, that'd be you. Relax, If you are that eager to depart, I will come and get you. Maybe you aren't worried about me being angry with you. That's ok, you don't have to be. But!!!!, If you do what you are thinking on, you'll have far worse than me to worry on. Hell, I'd only blow you out of the god damn airlock without a spacesuit, you do that, you have Seryn and Serenity and Mai and Soul and gods know who else fairly annoyed. That's not a position I'd envy.
I highly recommend that you set her back down, repair any wiring and relax, wait for the ladies to return. Oh, and appoligize to them as if your life is in their hands, 'Cause...well...it is. Don't get angry with me now, I'm trying to save you."

"Seryn, Hey ummmm.. Yeah trying to head him off at the pass, Impatience is not a virture. If he fails to set back down on Commerce, I'll be there before nightfall. I appologize for failing to predict this, But trust I'll put the wrong things right as best I can. Please look after the girls if it turns out I'm needed to pick you up."

"Thanks Deuce, I appreciate your understanding of the major faux paus, But I'd be just as big a complete pud if I abandoned you folk here to run after them."
*turns to McQ*
"McQ, I know you're new here, but you seem a man of honour to me, Will you be kind enough to give me your word to look after these fine folk if the need arises for me to depart for Commerce?"
*After a nod, the 2 men shake hands*
"Thank you, sir. I do appreciate you."

V-mail for JadeHand-
"Jade you've always been stable and reasonable, and I respect that, but hear me out on this one. Seryn wasn't. We were at the Nelson, she and I, she got in a mood and locked me out of the shuttles controls and then she asked me to gather everybody up to leave. the women folk were the only ones still unaccounted for. So I commed them and gave them a heads up and a dead line. They blew it off. Then she runs off, she, the one who said we should leave. I gave at carrot and the stick talk that got soundly ignored. Meanwhile, clock's ticking and I still have to give the new shuttle the once over to make sure she's space worthy. You can't come to me. The Cloud could be a deathtrap waiting to happen. So back to the story, to top it all off I asked everybody at the Nelson if they had any problem with leaving and I got no complaints. Then after I'm in flight I find out Citizen is still dirtside playing with yet to be loaded cargo. He could have said something. So he's still back there. Now there's another problem I don't need. Citizen and I are on an inevitable collision course anyways that I have been trying think of a way to delay, misdirect or defuze. Well back to Seryn, if she had just let me take the shuttle I would have been there and back all ready. I'm not going back, not yet. I'll come to you and check out the Cloud. You can take the Nelson back and get them, though that will probably be unnecessary as TRM is bringing the Tree into dock soon. I'll check out the Cloud and if it's ship shape then I'll fly it over to Commerce or standby. Then I will go and stand on the carpet in front of TRM or Ebo or whoever. I'm guessing this will cost me that apartment in engineering I had my eye on or maybe even get me thrown off the ship, which would be a royal pain in the ass as I just went extremely into deep out of pocket exspense to buy raw materials to upgrade the weaponry, while La Capitana is off shopping for frippery with someone else's money. As far as the Nelson's mechanical status there is nothing that I've done that can't be undone in short order, without any permanent or noticeable damage. I'm a butcher in battle, not when it comes to technology. Trust me fixing ships is easy, stealing them seems to be a cake walk too. Fixing people that's tough if not impossible. If you want to get angry with me you'll have to get in line. This is just another in the never ending list of problems brought about by poor communication. By the way if you really intend to put me out a airlock, I'll just set down somewhere else, give you coordinates to find the shuttle and the boys and be on my way."

Second, As for your personal interaction with Captain Nell and Mr. Citizen and the others, Well, I can offer tidbits of advice. You may consider slowing down a bit. Your pace and appitite for constant motion rivals that of the tazmanian devil on speed, It's unnerving to those around you who are accustomed to a more langerous journey. Ocean Cloud seems fine, take your time. TRM is picking up the ladies and the others you left behind. I'll get you a room here and a big bottle of rum, chill, relax, and appologize to those you may have tweaked in the morning, Dong ma?"
