Lt: We should definitely do that again sometime.

Mobbex: *chuckles* Night's still young Lt. I prolly should ease up on the brew, though. I got a to work-out scheduled tomorrow. 'Ever tried rope-skipping with a hangover? It ain't pleasant.

Lt: Aw, come on Mob, give it a rest just this once.

Mobbex: *smirks* Yeah, well, I wish I could say the same, "pal".

Colt, with a slight slur in his speach: Now don't you go stirrin' up trouble...

Mobbex: No trouble captain, 'man was just about to make himself gone.

Gavin: *shakes his head no* Nope, but I am gonna to give you a chance to walk the talk.

Colt: What'd I just say?

Gavin: Actually, I was thinkin' of somethin' else. *sits at a nearby table, then eases into an arm-wrestling position* You up?

Mobbex: Like hell I am... *sits in front of Gavin and clenches his hand into his*

Gavin: All right, on three. One... two... THREE!

*The bout is short-lived, as Mobbex slams Gavin's hand into the compressed wood table after only a handful of seconds.*

Gavin: *yells in pain* You... you broke my wrist!

Bystander: "Duh liou mahng, why the heck did I decide to stop on this insane rock." *Gets quickly to his feet looking around for whoever hit him with the chair. Seeing who it was, a man who's attention is now on a rather large individual who just knocked out another man. He promptly picks the battered chair up and swings it down savagely onto the man's head and shoulders, sending him sprawling, taking out the table as he falls.*

Bystander: "Okay now I need to figure out how to get my ass out of here. Why did I ever leave Newhall?" *He begins to turn towards the door but two larger men block his passage. The one on the right throws a punch. It lands square between the bystanders eyes, snapping his glasses in two. One half of which falls the the floor as the other is left hanging uselessly from his left ear.*

Sorry you got drug into the tussle mister *I slide a chair out with my foot and offer him the bottle on the table.*

Bystander: Name's Stan.

Well Stan, I'm Captain Colt. This here's Spots, Mobbex, Jay and...Where's LT?

*We get up from the table and start looking though the group of men still on the floor.*

*Mobbex: You think he ran off?

You can call LT a lot of things, but coward ain't one of em.

*A rather homely bar maid (Well paid by the Allaince man that grabbed LT) comes over.* Your friend told me to tell you he would be back later. He went with Alice back to her place.

*We all look at each other, rather impressed that LT could pick up a woman during a fight. Except Mobbex*

*Mobbex: LT done ran off to the whore house without me. I'm going to find him. Who's with me?

*Jay says he'll go, but only to see if his Captain is there. I tell Spots to tag along, keep Mobbex out of trouble.*

Stan: "I take it your captain won't mind a paying passenger? Seeing as he invited me along already."

*Nobody answers. They begin to load into the Mule, with some stumbling and swearing and a great deal of jostling and shoving about.*

Stan(To himself): "Ok, you got yourself into you might as well go along with it."

Stan(To Mobbex): "Just give me a few moments I left my gear in my room behind that boarding house there."

*He moves quickly to the three level building next door and returns a very short while later with a large gray-green duffel and a small black leather case. He tosses them onto the cargo rack of the mule and secures them as the group waits.*

Dash: "The Captain is gone ."

Larry: "Yes, generally if someone rides off in a vehicle they're gone too."

Dash: "The mule is in trouble, got hung up on something, hurt."

Larry: "Dash, the mule isn't an actual mule it can't get hurt."

Dash: "The Captain is in trouble, I saw him, he got lost."

*Dash and Larry both look at Jay

Jay: "What?"

Larry: "You're first mate and we're without a Captain, that means..."

Jay: "Yeah well, I may not be you're best choice right now, seeing as I've been drinking, fighting, in a mule wreck, and without sleep."

*As morning is breaking, the sun does highlight a few more of Jay's 'souvenirs' from the night of fun. Aside from the low-grade burns on his hands and arms, his right cheek is starting to swell to an unusual size, and there's a split on his right knuckle that could do for some stitches.

Larry: "Geez, if that's you guy's idea of a good time, I'm glad I didn't go along."

*Dash takes Larry's left arm and pulls him.

Dash: "Come."

Jay: "If I'm supposed to be acting Captain, how come you're giving orders?"

*With a look of slight exasperation

Dash: "Don't be such a boob."

*Jay wants to protest, but Dash is already pulling him out of the bridge. Larry, who is equally intrigued, follows. Dash stops outside the infirmary. She hesitates, but after taking a deep breath, enters and sits Jay down on the table. She takes a syringe from one of the drawers and turns to Jay.

Jay: "Hey now, you aren't a doc, I don't want nothing stuck in me."

Dash: "Benzocaine, a numbing agent, helps with the pain."

*Jay eyes her warily. Dash squeezes some of the agent onto his hand. Finding another syringe she applies another liquid to his burns. Before he can ask,

Dash: "Bacitran. To prevent infection."

*While the numbing agent takes affect, Dash delicately applies a tefla pad and then gauze to his burns. She can see the relaxation in Jay's face as the numbing agent has taken affect. Seeing her with a needle, Jay realizes what she intends to do.

Jay: "Oh no!" (He attempts to get off the table.) "No, no, no, this is where I draw the line. Where's that woman from the Book, she's the doc."

Larry (slightly bemused): "Scared of the needle Jay?"

Jay: "Not so much the needle as the one doing the sewing."

*Holding his right hand, with hers Dash looks into his eyes.

Dash: (in a gentle, maternal tone) "Jay, be a big boy and it will all be over quickly. Look at me.. It's nothing to be worked up about, afterwards if you want we can get you a nice ice planet."

*All the while she has been stitching with her left hand. She releases his hand and puts the needle away breaking the mesmerized silence. Jay looks over his hand, it is sewn together he didn't feel a thing. Still, not wanting to give too much, he stiffens.

Jay: "See what I mean, sometimes she just... anyway, thanks."

*He goes off to the dining room, muttering. He finds a bag of frozen peas and hold them to his face before heading to the bridge. Dash just smiles and cleans up the mess. Larry, who has watched all of this unfold, says nothing at first.

Larry: (calling after Jay) "So, do you think we should head to town and find the Captain?"

Jay: "Yeah, if he's got a bounty it won't be easy, Alliance has plenty of money to spend keeping mouths shut. Should find a doctor if we can too..."

Larry: "Jay, Dash seems to have found the Captain."

Jay: "How, you didn't even leave the ship yet?"

Larry: "Well, she knows, or at least what planet."

Jay: "Set course then."

Larry: "He's on Osiris."

*The sound of feet running to the bridge.

Jay: "No ruttin way, we're not going to the core, especially not the center of it. It's crawling with Alliance."

Larry: "Yeah, but it makes sense, it's an Alliance bounty why wouldn't they take him to the center of the Core?"

Jay: "I don't much care if it makes sense, we risk everything going there, we can get to Persephone, maybe a little closer, but that's as far as I'm willing to go."

*While the two men are 'discussing' the merits of going to Osiris, Dash has changed the flight sequence. After a few more buttons and switches are pushed and flicked, they're airborne, heading away from Greenleaf.

Jay: "Where in the Verse is she taking us?"

Larry: "Dash what are you doing, we need to stay put?"

Dash: "Going to see a man about a horse."

*They both look at Dash*

"Besides horse talk, what's the plan?"
