(Oreo follows others as they head back to the ship, guns drawn and this time following close by to Kat)

(turns on borad oreo coms Capt'n)
Capt'n everyones of board!

(Oreo then turns to El and gives him a small chip)

Here, take this and attach it to the cannon, it'll triple the pressure and do some real damage. made it myself

Remember to install that chip i gave you to the cannon...(sighs)

(looks away and whispers to himself)
Kat...mei-mei

(turns back to El and with his familiar grin and stone cold glaze in his eyes says)
lets misbehave

***capt'n over com***

Everybody get to your stations and prepare for take off. We're going to be making a full burn once the reavers are tailing us. (looks at clock)
40 seconds till lift off

***ends com***

(Oreo and El strap themselves to the cannon using harness clip that attach to both the suits and the cannon, oreo turns to el)

(shouting over the sound of the engine even with the com system in the helmets)
Listen to me, the only way we are gonna make it outta this alive, is if you do exactly what i tell you. Dong Ma?

(El disagrees)
Oreo, you're not the Captain. He gives the orders on this boat. You're just an extra hired hand.

(Back to Oreo)
Gorramit El! I have to protect Kat.

(El looks up at Oreo confused)
What?!

(Oreo shakes off what he said and looks back at El)
Look,I ain't asking you to mutiny. All you need to do is install that ruttin chip and when i tell you to, when we go for full burn right before we leave atmo, you fire that thing in the backwash of the turbine creating....(El finishes oreos sentence) An propulsion explosion that the reavers will get caught in...Just like a crazy Ivan.

(Oreo)
Yeah, but with out the crazy. Uh,do me a favor, i'd appreciate it if you didn't go to mentioning what i said about Kat.

(El)
who is she to you?

(Oreo drops his head and releases big Sigh)

I think she's...(just then engines are kicked in and the ship begins to take off)

***capt'n coms***

alright you two, only fire if those tyen-sah duh uh-muo look like they're gonna riddle my boat full of holes, dong Ma.

OREO, make sure the reavers are following us, they should, it's their way.
once we're in the right spot, fire when ready.

KAT, i'm glad you're staying with shiny.
especially after we thought that reaver that 'mr. big guns' shot was dead when he wasn't.
o2 was lucky that the spear the reaver threw at him only hit him in the leg.
at least o2 finished him off before he passed out.

So, we picking up that new pilot soon, Cap'n? Starting to almost enjoy going to Aquila now! (prods the food in front of her..) This protein slice is getting a little stale...think I'll head off and get some shut-eye now we're all safe again.

Well done El, that was good shooting. Glad to know you've got our backs. Seems that chip worked well, which is good.

Kat, i gotta ask you something now that we are alone. Do you have any history with Oreo. Outside the ship he started to say something about you, but i couldn't hear what he said. and he did take a bullet for you. I mean, if i was there i would've taken the bullet for you also, but thats because your part of the crew, and this ship wouldnt be the same without u.

And one more thing, no need to thank me i will always have your back.

I mean you take a bullet for her and you don't even know her, you're not part of the crew and she's never met you before in her life. Whats the deal. Are you some kinda bounty hunter, hitman , assassin?

Oh we have a history together, but she was little, probably doesn't remember any of it.
