"Safe, Soul, I hope you guys are getting some good information out of your interrogations, because I can't open a portal to Serenity. Her location must be shielded, somehow. We'll have to do this the old fashioned way. Most importantly, we'll need a destination!"

He's strapped into a chair as the others secure themselves and Ocean Cloud takes off for Sereni-Tree leaving Garrison behind. he drifts in and out, overhearing pieces of communications. He hears enough to become concerned about the safety of those on the Tree, and he forces conciousness upon himself. Stiring in his seat, he unfastens the belt and stands. His hand holds his side as if holding his own guts in. He steps to the bridge of the shuttle.*

"Quin, welcome back. We need to get to the Tree quickly and quietly."

"You need to sit back down Jade. You need medical attention."

"I'll worry on that later. We've got friends who need us now."

*JadeHand approaches a firstaid kit in one of the cabinets, and takes a handfull of painkillers. He then remembers something that will deffinately help. Walking back to the front of the shuttle he calls the crew forward.*

"Quin, autopilot please." *Quincey hits a few buttons and stands to face JadeHand*

"Wisp, NOSkillz, Deuce. You all rescued Quin and she might feel the need to give you a proper thank you."

*Quin blushes slightly then understands, She steps up to Wisp and pulls him to her. Planting a firm kiss on his lips. A Kissie spouts from their connection. JadeHand grabs the Kissie and presses it to Wisp's wounded leg. The skin seals on both sides and returns his leg to normal. Quin steps to NOSkillz and plants a big Kiss on his lips. JadeHand grabs it and presses it to his side. the buising begins to fade internal organs stitching themselves back together. Quin turns to face JadeHand and presses her lips to his. the resulting kissie is picked up by NOSkillz and pressed to JadeHands forehead. The wound seals, the bleeding stopped. Quincey bends down and kisses Shadow on the top of the head Shadow chases the kissie to the back of the shuttle, scratching himself on a table and immediately being healed by the Kissie. Finally Quin turns to Duece. She reaches out to her and takes her gently by the back of the head. Pulling her close she steps in and presses her lips to Deuces lips. Dueces eyes go wide. Quin's other hand comes up to Deuces face and holds her tight. Quin's tongue slips out and presses past Deuce's lips and finds hers. The heat in the shuttle increases noticably as Duece stumbles backwards to rest against a nearby chair. Quin keeps up with her and presses her body against Deuce, sucking Dueces tongue into her mouth. Quin pulls away and wipes a finger across her lips.*

"Thank you all, for rescuing me from that...that...man."

*Quincey returns to her seat, turns off the autopilot and continues the trek back to the Tree. the resulting Kissies are rounded up and used to cure the remaining wounds. JadeHand still needs to have the doc check on his internal wounds, but they are no longer a priority. The shuttle draws into the Tree's Hanger.*

"play your cards right and maybe" says Quin with a cheeky smile playfully patting deuce on the behind as she walks past. Deuce giggles and runs away.
'Thats why i took this job' Wisp mutters to himself carrying his belongings over his shoulder that he left in the OC and dragging Doris behind.

"Now where do i sleep?" Jadehand looks at him funny then grasps what he's meaning.
"Oh yeah this is your first time to the actual ship, Just follow me." Jade directs Wisp to a little room at the back of the boat and tells him to unpack and make himself at home.
"here we are Doris Home sweet home" as Wisp begins to unpack Deuce's voice comes over the tannoy.
"Crew we have a new member aboard Y'all go and say hi"

Crouched in an alley adjacent the warehouse, Grunt hands Soul his field glasses.

“What have you got Grunt?” Safe asks.

“Those walls aren’t the corrugated metal sheeting they’re made out to be. They’re a high density steel. The amount of explosive need to breach those walls would also take out half the block doing it. There are no guards, but a bunch of security cameras and what appears to be laser turrets.” Grunt says, clearly impressed. “To top it all off, there is some sort of electrical field embedded in the walls.”

“That must be what’s stopping me from opening a portal in there” TRM adds. “I didn’t think that was possible…”

“It is also stopping my scanners from penetrating the interior.” A metallic voice pipes up.

“Look who I found” Citizen says as he guides McQ and SR to the group.

“TRM, is it possible for you to open a portal just above roof level? If so, we could take a team up there. Soul, Jennings, Grunt and Bear could wait down here and SR and McQ could look for a back door. The way I see it, the ground teams will have to wait for someone inside to come out….” Safe catches himself and looks at TRM. “I’m sorry… I’m out of line. It’s not my place to be throwing orders around.”

Do we engage the cruiser, the shuttles, or do we hope the others can sneak by the Alliance? Frankly, I don’t like our odds against that mammoth. Opinions?

She pulls off her jacket, then seems to go very still and concentrate really hard on her toes. Slowly, then with gathering speed, two wings sprout and grow. Soom the passageway is blocked by wings exactly the same as Serenity's, and her hair has altered to the same shade as well.

"What do you think?" She balls up her coat and shoves it up her top, "ha, well, it should make the alliance double take, if they are there."

They get to the top, Serenity busting the lock, and escape onto the roof, guns and blades ready for trouble. The sun breaks over the top of the buildings, but aside from the distant yells of morning traders, there is absolutely nothing.

"well then..."

No, no. This is good.

*CMS digs in her pocket for her comm link.*

Soul? TRM? Anyone? This is Serenity. Seryn and I are okay. We're on the top of a building and we would very much like to be rescued right now. There's some alliance headed our way.

Repeat, we are okay!

One day.
One mission.
One army of Browncoats.

On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.

TheRealMe drops something. It starts getting large. It is the shrunken shuttle Napoleon Bonaparte. TheRealMe reaches out, and a point of light appears before him. On the top of the roof, a second point of light can be seen. Both expand to become a ring of fire surrounding a dark void.

"There is your portal! You folks rescue the ladies and get back to the Sereni-Tree. Now, I will do something about these shuttles from the Alliance cruiser!"

TheRealMe notices Sparky with ScorpionRegent and McQ. "Come, Sparky! You and I must create a diversion so that Serenity can be rescued." Sparky does not move, and TRM continues. "If we do not accomplish this, then she will likely be captured and taken to some Alliance lab where she will be experimented on. Maybe disected. Come, I invoke Second Law."

"That is speculation," Sparky says.

"Yes," TheRealMe admits. "But the diversion I have planned is a dangerous task. I might need you to pilot the shuttle and complete the diversion while I escape alive through one of my portals. I invoke First Law."

With seeming reluctance, Sparky follows TheRealMe. They jump into the Napoleon and it lifts off. It flies directly up, until spotted by the Alliance shuttles. Then it speeds off in a random direction. Many of the Alliance ships follow, perhaps supposing that the 'special subject' was aboard trying to escape.

The roof of the warehouse rumbles, and a hum fills the air.

Serenity looks at Seryn. “I knew this didn’t feel right. Can you use those wings?” She launches herself into the air. Rods rise from the corners of the roof and Serenity is caught in and electrical charge, robbing her of not only flight but consciousness. She drops limply to the roof.

The source of the rumbling becomes evident as curved walls rise out of the roof, enclosing the landing pad in a dome of metal.

In the alley, the others look on in shock “Can this day possibly get any worse?” Mai yells in frustration.

OOC: Is that a good enough wrinkle? Sorry I haven't been able to contribute much, this headache is now on it's fifth day.
