hey badger, looks like someone is giving you competition.

i'll send you half the coin now and half when i've seen walker.

*** turns to leave with DOCKCAT, ELBARTO, AND OREOISFIREFLY ***

OREO, don't hit badgers men, i need captain walker.
but, we'll leave out the front you go around back.
i saw a chinese gang eyeing us when we came in.
they give us problems and you give them that surprise you were talking about dong ma?

unless your plan is better.

OUT2THEBLACK just 'waved' from the docks. seems like the BROWNCOAT just got a pilot [PALMER].

i have a 'source' that says he is. this is the only way i could find where he is.
'sides if he's not in good condition when we find him, we have a couple trigger happy crewmates that might want some sniper practice on anyone that crossed us.
now load your tranq. gun [i know you don't like bullets] and lets get out of here.

From where I'm sittin, I would say ya'll could use a little assistance.

***ends com***

***Capt'n Coms Oreo***

Well, Oreo, a hero's entrance and a quick exit, specially the kind where we exit still breathing, would not go amiss. So, just in case you need a clearer point of veiw of the situation...(capt'n grip com tightly and holds close to his mouth and through gritted teeth he says...) Get your gorram ass out here and do something!
***ends com****

(Seconds later,Oreo comes running out from behind Badgers HQ, pulling four short wave concussion bombs from his belt and hurls them in the center of the group.)

(Oreo shouts to the crew) Get down!

(Capt'n and the rest of the crew drop to the ground and cover their ears just as Oreo pulls out the activation stick, pushes the switch and drops to the ground himself. In an instance the bombs explode not more the a couple feet above the Capt'n and crew. Each emitting a green circular wave knocking everyone out within 40ft)

(Oreo looks up to asses the damage and jumps to his feet and runs over to the Capt'n)

Capt'n, might wanna get up off the gorram dirt and start movin, seein as to how they won't be happy when they come to. Them was short wave concussion bombs. Made them myself. Thing is, the effects don't last to long. Oooh,reckon Badger ain't gonna be none to happy either when he and his goons come to.

(looks up and sees bodies beginning to stir and takes off running)

(Oreo to Capt'n) Time to go.

(Still runnin, oreo screams over to the capt'n)

Gonna be in a peck of trouble. Figure about now Badger is spittin steam out his ears right about now, Gonna be comin after us sum'in powerful. Which way to the gorram ship?!

(Just then oreo notices a gunman on a rooftop getting ready to take aim at...Kat

(Oreo stops to double back,jumps in front of the riflemans bullet just in the nick of time to save kat and take a single round to the chest,barley missin his lung by a half an inch.)

(Landing on the ground)
Gorramit!
(Grabs kat and pushes her in the direction of the capt'n)
Go on,run! git! Git back to the ship!(As he looks down to see blood just pooring out the wound)

(Kat stands in utter shocks, Oreo quickly notices that Kat isn't runnin.)

(Oreo to Kat)
Look girl, you need to git goin. standin there actin like you ain't seen blood before. (Pulls out revolver, cocks the hammer and aims it at Kat)
Now, you git, or I will riddle you with holes myself.

(Scared and conofused Kat turns and runs, but stops and turns only a few feet away to notice Oreo praying again.)

(Oreo talking to himself)
Do not stand at my ruttin grave and weep,
I am not there... I do not sleep.
I am the Gorram thousand winds that blow...
I am the Gorram diamond glints on snow...
I am the Gorram sunlight on ripened grain...
I am the Gorram gentle autumn rain.
When you waken in the morning's hush,
I am the Gorram swift uplifting rush
Of gentle birds in circling flight...
I am the Gorram soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry—
I am not there... I did not GORRAM die...

(kinda in a daze oreo begins to recite a new irish prayer to himself as the affects of the herbs start to kick in)

May you see God's light on the path ahead
When the road you walk is dark.
May you always hear,
Even in your hour of sorrow,
The gentle singing of the lark.
When times are hard may hardness
Never turn your heart to stone,
May you always remember
when the shadows fall—
You do not walk alone...(oreo blacks out)

As shinyfry walks into the infirnary she hopes the boat will hold up in time to rescue walker. she dosen't think its time to tell capt there could be a little problem with the engines fuel cells "i will figure it out soon enough" not realizing she said that out loud and hopes no one heard her.

(grunts talking to himself as he sits up), what in the hell...oh,yeah the fire fight back on Persephone. Got myself shot saving Kat. Herbs must have worked. (raising hand to feel wound under bandages.)Another one for the collection (chuckles). Must be on the Capt'ns ship. Wonder how long I've been out. (Slowly stands up). Better get my things together, find out whats going on.(get dressed and climbs ladder up to main bunk catwalk)

Wonder where everyone is at?

(turns and walks to the gallery)

(Oreo gets to gallery and peaks around the corner and notices Kat sitting at the table)

(talking to himself)
well, she seems to be doing alright. Could have sworn that she mentioned something about wanting to talk to me before i blacked out. Probably mad about the after affects of the bombs.Some gratitude for saving her. Best go find the Capt'n, but sum'in bout all this don't seem real.

ELBARTO

**Elbarto's recollection of past events**

*As Elbarto and others exit badgers, they are surrounded by chinese men. Elbarto thinks' bout time i get to kill something'*

*looks out the corner of his eye, sees Oreo throwing grenades and notices that two of the men are getting beads on Oreo. Elbarto flicks his wrist and a knife goes into each and for only a second before the knives each their true target, the men's throats. Then, he hits the deck, shoving a finger into each ear to null some of the shockwaves.*

**BOOM**

*Elbarto groggily stands up, and reaches for his pistols. He quick draws and shoots three men coming around a corner. He notices everybody huddling together and heading back to the ship. Decides to walk a few meters back to cover their retreat.*

Every body makes it to the ship with Elbarto trailing behind, shooting anything thats holding a gun. When they reach the ship, Elbarto and Oreo pull out grenade launchers and fire, scattering their attackers.*

*Once in the ship, Elbarto carries Oreo to the imfirmary, then leaves to search the ship for possible intruders.*

When you can't run you crawl. When you can't do that you find somebody to carry you.

Wonder what all the fuss is about?

(Just as alarms start to sound and lights start to flash, El runs up to Oreo in a panic)

(El to Oreo)
Good you're up. We got trouble!

(Oreo to El)
What kinda trouble?

(El to Oreo)
Reavers, there inbound, which means, we're out. Lets go. We need to find the Capt'n and the others.
