"Most of that inventory isn't for me and I'd be surprised to see any Alliance, that is any living Alliance, around here." Citizen said into his com-link. "As for the cargo, I think we can best discuss what it's for and how it should be, distributed, when we next meet in person. Oh and one last thing, I always thought the F in FNG stood for something other than Fresh..." He clicked the Com off and pushed through the resturant door.

"Now this is a bit more like it." He said.

MCQ

OOC: I'm getting confused as to where everyone is so hopefully this isn't out of place, otherwise I can edit it later.

Still standing around in the hanger, McQ ponders where everyone is at and sees Jadehand return to Ocean Cloud. McQ decides to check with Jadehand to see if there's anything else he can do for him.

"Are you about to head to a different destination? If so, would you require my assistance? This planet is starting to bore me."

Jadehand seems a bit preoccupied, so McQ repeats to be sure he's heard.

*she notices he's looking at her...*

'No one knows I have that. I'd appreciate it if you kept it under your hat.

"Under your hat, your clothes - it's all the same right?" Needy thinks to himself, a slight smile appearing on his face.

Quote:
I have a feeling it might freak out the Doc even more. You know, sometimes I think he's all hot and then he just gets cold...I can't make him out.'

He doesn't know what to say. "Is she telling me to get things off her chest, or is she normally this open?" He merely listens, believing that to be the best course of action - he can only say the wrong thing if he attempts to open his mouth.

Quote:
*twg shows him around the water park...the slide...the pool of that breathy stuff from abyss*

"This is... amazing" he says, taking in the sights. "I've never seen anything like it. Except maybe in movies."

"I thought these attractions only showed up in romantic films." She replies

"Uh... well. I may have watched a few of them in the past" he admits.

"Ah, it's all coming out now isn't it. Mr sensitive"

"I wouldn't say that but... well, I'll let you"

They both smile at each other

"But this place" he continues "it's like it's not even real, like something out of a dream."

"Yeah, she's a beaut. Why do you think so many stick around? There's no better ship in the entire 'verse. At least, not that I know of."

"You're right. Nobody would want to leave this place" He says before realising how ironic it may sound coming from him - his other counterpart did just that!
A moment of silence fills the air before TWG follows up on the comment with a question

Quote:
'I don't mean to be nosy...but well, I do. Do you really think it was amnesia?'

"Sorry?"

"Before... you mentioned suffering a bit of amnesia"

Quote:
'Well...maybe. It's just...

Needy hesitates before continuing. Should he really divulge his theory to her, or would that scare her away. She might think he was crazy if he told her that he suspected the person that came before wasn't him but a double. He decides to be as a vague as possible

Quote:
'...I don't remember ever being here. And for that matter, I don't remember not being where I had been.'

He wasn't sure how it would sit, until that is she continued

Quote:
'Well...there are a few folks here that have had 'evil twins' show up on occasion...but I wouldn't know about that as it happened during my lost time. Plus, with all the space folding, I wouldn't be surprised if maybe it was you from somewhere/time else. The Doctor might know about that sort of thing. You should talk to him.'

A sense of familiarity comes over him. Deja Vu. What she said made sense, but there was more to it. Something was triggered off in his mind - a memory, that in an instant was gone again. He struggled to uncover it, but it was no use. The harder he tried, the more he pushed it back to the dark recesses of his mind.
It would come back to him, he hoped, but he had been determined to put those mysteries at the back of his mind for now. He needed to relax and take his mind off of life right now. That was why he was taking this time out to tour the ship.

Needy nods his head in acknowledgement of what she said before redirecting the conversation:

Quote:
'So you're after the Doctor?'
'Heh, yeah. It's complicated. He's my son's father...or he will be someday. I know he eventually will like me, but I don't know when. Should I wait a month or five years? A girl can get mighty frustrated in five years...may start getting antsy.'

'If you ever need some help with the frustration...'

*she laughs* I'll keep that in mind. Course, my ex-husband...not the man I lived with during my lost time...is on our boat too. He's kinda protective of me...don't let him see you looking at me like you know what I look like.

'Your ex-husband?' wow. this girl's a one person soap opera!

*they finally come upon the jacuzzi and it's neighbor, the chococuzzi* 'Well, here we are. Everyone, make room for Needy.'

"Erm... Hi" he nervously greets the others. "Do I have to take my clothes off? I mean... it's chocolate right?"

Well McQ, if you have the time and the gadgets, you can scan the Cloud for potential problems. Everything seems ok, and SR is on his way back to check it over too, but 3 'all clear's is always better than 2.

The Nelson drops in from a steep descent curve and touches down on Garrison outside the hangar holding the Cloud and all the industrial cargo purchases for the Tree. Wisp and LMD hop out and walk into the hangar. SR takes ten minutes to reverse his bypass work on the Nelson and then joins everyone else inside. He is drawn as if by magic to the Cloud and immediately starts to inspect it's workmanship, which he grudgingly asseses as first rate. Forty five minutes later he pronounces the ship space-worthy.

McQ stands back and scans the ship with his infrared eye for glitches or problems, walking around the entire ship as he does so.

"Everything seems clear. You should be good to go." McQ turns to look out toward the market place for the others and still sees none of them. "Wonder what's holding them up."

On the moon of Commerce, in the International House of Food, TheRealMe pushes his empty plate away.

"Ah, that was delicious! Thank you, everyone, for the company."

TheRealMe stands, dusts off his suit, and adjusts his tie.

"I'm going off shopping, now. I have come up with a scheme that should get me excellent customer service, and perhaps even substantial discounts."

TheRealMe puts on a pair of blue gloves and heads out to begin his shopping.

Baby clothes shopping? Let's go. I've got quite a list of things I want to get for my little one.

You know Seryn, you've timed this pregnancy rather well. I'll be getting out of all my maternity clothes just as you're ready for them. And my baby will outgrow things in time for your baby to wear them. You're more than welcome to any hand-me-downs.

But all babies must have new clothes, so let's go shopping!

For the confused:

In a hanger on the planet Garrison, we have the shuttles Ocean Cloud and Admiral Nelson and the people Jadehand, Deuce / Bride2, McQ the cyborg, N0skillz and his tiger Shadow, ScorpionRegent, and WashsYoungerSexierBrother. SR thinks that LightMeDark is also with him, but I could find no record of him leaving the company of the shopping women.

Missing somewhere on Garrison after having gone partying is Quincey / Bride5. It looks like Deuce is getting ready to go track her down.

On Commerce, shopping moon of Garrison, we have the shuttle Napoleon Bonaparte and the people Seryn, Serenity, Mai, Citizen, TheRealMe, and I think LightMeDark. TheRealMe is about to head off on his own with his robot, Sparky.

PsychicRiver is still somewhere/somewhen in spacetime talking to his future self.

About everyone else is on the Sereni-Tree, orbiting Garrison.

"The rum is good and you have some fine points Jade, but there is a young man outside that has been hired on in exchange for room and board and I need to buy him a meal, so let's contimue this conversation at that restuarant five blocks west of here. My treat."

*JadeHand goes to the back of the shuttle and collects a miniture device, one of several he made while finishing parts for Ocean Cloud and attaches it to his belt. He ties a battery pack around his waist, connects the device, and slips on a longcoat to conceal it. He throws his bag of weapons and gear over his shoulder and secures the satchel and briefcase in a locker. Finally, he picks up a small remote control device, and joins the others.*

"Alright, seems we still have a missing Quincey. Duece, I wanna help you find her. But, no use searching on an empty stomach. Join us for a meal and we'll all go together. Chances are she's just enjoying the local 'amusements', but If there's trouble, It's better we face it together. If things get bad, stick close. Let's go."

*As they walk to the door of the hanger, Jadehand turns around, presses a button on the remote, and Ocean Cloud fades from view. They step out, pull in the Nelson and secure the hanger. *

McQ continues to stand guard outside the hanger in case others return from their shopping spree or other choices of 'entertainment'. People continue to wander by, giving him a look or two - not sure what to make of the robotic figure. McQ pays them no heed as he's getting used to those looks.

Within the crowd in the nearby marketplace McQ spots what seems to be two young Alliance soldiers. At least they're wearing Alliance soldier jackets and hats. Concerned about being caught and deactivated by the Alliance, McQ decides he better be sure. Using his robotic eye, he zooms in for a better look and realizes they aren't Alliance at all - just a couple of younger guys wearing jackets that look very similar to those worn by Alliance troops. McQ lets out a small sigh of relief and continues to guard the hanger.

“If you can’t find that ship,” the stranger barks. “I can’t get back what’s rightfully mine. An’ if I don’t get back what’s mine, you don’t get paid an’ I let my friends know where you are.”

“Keep yer pants on little man, we’ll find it. We always find what we’re looking for.” The co-pilot, Jennings says, putting his hands behind his head and leaning back. “Whaddya got Grunt?”

“A ship about the size we are looking for recently jumped from this area.” The navigator replies, without looking up from his computer station.

“How could you know that?” The stranger looks incredulously at the big navigator.

Grunt turns from his station and looks the stranger over. “Let me put this in words you’ll understand. When a ship “jumps” it bends or folds space, bringing the place it is, closer to the place it’s going. When the jump is complete, the space reverts to normal in the wake of the ship. How we find it is, look for what it leaves behind… residual “bent space”. This effect doesn’t last very long, so one has to be quick in finding it.”

“Here’s the tricky part...” Grunt motions the stranger closer. “While we can find where the ship left from, finding where its going is harder. The trail goes back to normal, or cold, faster than we can track it. So I need you to sit over there and be quiet while we work. Think you can do that little fella? Hunh? Do ya? That a good ugly little monkey.”

Bear and Jennings break into loud belly laughs.

The stranger face fades from a look of wonder to anger. He stands there for a moment his mouth opening and closing trying to come up with something to say. Giving up he turns and takes a seat.

“Bear, I’ve sent the heading to your station. I got a general direction, but we’ve gotta haul ass if we want to stay on this trail.”

“You sure it wasn’t an Alliance cruiser’s signature?” Bear asks, setting the ship up for the jump.

“Can’t be sure. The only traffic I had on the monitor was the Kilgore, the Tripoli and the Richard Wilkins. Those glittery bits you see to your left are all that’s left of the Tripoli, and the Kilgore is limping around the other side of Boros with the Richard Wilkins assisting, so unless another cruiser was in the area...”

“No other cruisers were in the area” The stranger sulks, interrupting Grunt.

All three men turn and look at the stranger causing him to cower back. “Trust me I know” he says absently caressing the large scar on his face. “Just get on with it.”

The Dagger adjusts its position as its engines build up power, then it’s gone.

Edit: to correct ship names.

she puts that down, and moves onto a range in plain white decorated all over with rabbit shapes "oh, topical..." stuffing several in her basket and adding other random bits that she is sure serve a purpose, even if she'll never work it out, she goes to join Serenity, and then thinks back to something Mai said.

Not sure what's in either flask...this should be interesting.

Cheers!

Oh heavens! Seryn, do you know ANYTHING about babies?

Thankfully, we've got a few months to prepare you. I've got some lovely books back on the TREE you can borrow that will tell you everything you need to know about babies! (Soul, I can feel you rolling your eyes from here!)

"yes! they do have textbooks! Oh god what a relief. I knew there had to be instruction manuals somewhere!

So are they really hard to read? I haven't done much reading for a few years. Just maps and letters and the odd trashy paperback."

She picks up a fuzzy blue stripey blanket "oh, goodness this is soft! How do they get things this soft? You know, if they made uniforms out of this, I really think that the millitary would be substantially less cranky."

she ads the blanket, and something near it that squeks and plays music when she touches it. "Well, it'll drive me mad, so he'll probably love it. *turns to Serenity* so you don't know if its a boy or a girl? Have you thought of possible names yet?"

Wisp felt like he was starting to settle in now and with the promise of Rum why shouldnt he? although he had accepted a job on a ship which so far he hadn't seen, it could be a piece of feuseu but he pushed that to the back of his mind and wandered on

Deuce pauses during her headlong rush out of the hanger in order to check out WYSB. Deuce is a young woman, perhaps as old as 20, with red hair, freckles, and green eyes. Her compact, athletic form is dressed in gray-colored sweats. Her left hand holds a pair of sheathed katanas, and it has a golden band on the ring finger.

She smirks at him. “New guy, huh? Wisp is it? Heh. Fine. I’m called Deuce, or Bride2. We’re goin’ after Quincey, who is Bride5. She’s a crewmate of ours who went off partying. Maybe she got lost. Maybe she got lucky. Maybe something else. Noskills has this tiger, here, that can track her down just like a bloodhound.” She points with her weapons. “That’s Noskills there.” She swings the weapons about to smack Jadehand on the shoulder. “This is Jadehand. Looks like you met Scorpion Regent. That big guy who looks like a tin can is McQ. The confused guy with a drink in his hand is Elemdee. And that's Cozen. There's nobody like Cozen. Huh. Where did he come from? Okay, enough talk! Let’s go!”

As they are moving, she adds, “Yeah, like you said, it looks like a couple of our women got themselves knocked up. Buying wedding stuff, now. Baby stuff, too. Some of us came down here just for a shopping trip. But up on the SereniTree we got a bunch of people, maybe 40 or 50. People and other things, too. Robot, Yeti, Elf, Fairy. We take anybody!”

As the group continues following the tiger, they find themselves in some kind of Chinatown. Deuce seems puzzled. “Well, I guess this kinda makes sense, as Quincey comes from an Oriental family, but…”

“But what?” Jadehand asks.

“But she always avoided Chinatowns before. Everywhere she went. Never even ate Chinese food that I remember. She always said that she’s just not in touch with her ancestors, or something.”

SAFEAT2ND

The Dagger slides out of hyperspace over Garrison.

The Dagger’s stingray design, flat black paint and shielded engines make it near invisible to most electronics and the naked eye.
Bear and Jennings guide the ship in along the regular shipping lane to further avoid standing out.

Inside the Dagger, the stranger, still green in the face, wipes his mouth with the back of his hand, the contents of his stomach littering the floor. All three men roll their eyes.

“You’re paying extra for that.” Grunt says throwing rags at the stranger.

“There it is!!” The stranger jumps up excitedly pointing out the front window. “Shoot It!! Why aren’t you shooting it… or stopping or scanning for her… I mean…scanning to see who’s on board??”

“I told you once to sit and be quiet. Do I have to get Bear to tell you again?” Grunt hisses at the stranger. The stranger looks at Bear and then sits down.

The Dagger neither slows nor alters course as it glides along the shipping lanes past the Sereni-Tree just as the Admiral Nelson launches and the Tree banks for a more discrete orbit.

Bear turns and glares as the stranger opens his mouth to speak. “No, we’re not going to follow it” Bear says before the stranger can utter a word “And we are NOT going to follow that shuttle either. You hired us to do this, so shut up and let us do our job.”

The Dagger continues on to the planets surface.

After hours of shopping on Commerce, TheRealMe and Sparky return to the Napoleon Bonaparte. Sparky’s servo motors are groaning under the massive weight of huge bags filled with enough DVDs to replace the impressive collection lost during the Boros Incident. They unload all of this into the cargo area of the Napoleon, and TheRealMe places a brand-new 8-ball on top of that pile. They go back out to find some furniture, next.

Hidden somewhere on Garrison:

“Mei-ling! Mei-ling Kuin! Awaken! Attend me!”

Quincey slowly regained consciousness. She opened her eyes. The pain in her wrists was intolerable. How many hours had she been dangling from those manacles set in the dungeon wall? Too long! She could no longer feel her fingers. Slowly, painfully, she twisted her head to gaze up at her captor. “I won’t marry him,” she informed him earnestly. “I WON’T!”

A great smile spread across the man’s Asian features. “But Mei-ling, you already HAVE married our leader’s eldest son, Lu Chin. The agreement has been made. He has been sent for, to come to claim you. You are to be taken away.”

“But I never picked that gorram thug for my husband!”

The Asian man stood there impassively. “Mei-ling, it is your exaulted father’s desire that you marry as a provision of the Great Pact. Your father chose Lu Chin over all other candidates.”

“Then my dad can marry the jerk! And my name is ‘Quincey’!”

The man shook his head sadly. “Such insolence!” He came closer, getting in Quincey’s face. “You should feel honored, but you continue to profane the occasion. You have been away too long, Mei-ling. You have forgotten much.”

“Didn’t forget enough!” With some effort, Quincey got her feet under her, and glared back defiantly as she stood. Her hands were on fire as she worked her fingers to get the blood flowing again. “I never should have come back to THIS gorram place! Never!”

“You should rejoice, my dear. Soon, you will be home!”

Quincey, Bride5
