Shiny taking off her helmet, "sure."
She walks to the engine room and cracks a small smile.
Shiny starts humming to herself as she runs the diagnostics test on the engine.She finds The quit hum of the engine to be soothing, Until she remembers seeing Oreo leaning over the open cryo crate the twins are in. "jung chi duh go-se dway"
Shiny looks at the engines panel it still has awhile till the diagnostic is done. she sprints to the cargo hold and shouts. "Oreo what are you doing"?!

...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

Shadow 'coms Elbarto's shuttle:

"'El, if you can hear us, I've had to quarantine your shuttle. Contamination on your hull... and also on the inside...
We'll be taking off shortly, and you'll be with us, but attached only - no access to Tranquility herself.
Our instruments are still a little screwy, so we're not getting a true reading on your 'heat sig'. If you can hear us - I need a head count.
How many people are in your shuttle?"

Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges

Wisp stepped onto the Epsilon for the final time and reminisced about the time he’d spent upon this little ship. He’d done the impossible landing it on Boros, he’d fled from Alliance gunships in her, A baby had been born in her. Friends had been made in this ship and Friends had died in this ship. This ship had born people he loved into this world and seen them out of it. Before he began to pack up he said a silent prayer for those who had lived and lost within this vessel. Wisp wasn’t a religious man but he was a respectful man. These people hadn’t all shared the same beliefs as him but he respected where each person had come from. He prayed that whoever they believed was looking after their divine souls would protect those that remained and guide those who has passed.

Too many souls had passed for his liking. He tried to remember all the names of those who had fallen and found the list longer than he cared to think about. What a dangerous life they had led living outside the boundaries of civilised society. This is what it cost them. Even if they hadn’t died they’d still lost their lives in one way or another. Living on the edge of reason from one moment to the next. The world had been against them the entire way and every so often the world had caught up with them and made them pay.

Was it worth it? He asked himself as he packed up the contents of his life. Did anyone really care how they’d just tried to live and do the right thing? They hadn’t gone out to hurt anyone but everyone seemed to want to hurt them for wanting to live a different way.

That was exactly why it was all worth it. If anyone tries to tell you how to live, how to act, how to feel, how to love, You have to stand up. Stand up and be counted. Tell people, anyone, everyone that you don’t want to do what your told. You want to do what you want. You want to do what you think is right, not what your told is right. Follow your own moral compass. And sometimes if you stand up for what you believe in people are gonna fall, but you knew the risks when you started. You cant make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. And you cant change the world without losing a few friends.

You had to accept the consequences of doing the right thing. Just as Wisp was doing now. It took him just over an hour to gut his ship of everything of value which he stored in the cargo bay.

“Captain the Epsilon is gutted and you are ready to fly” Wisp spoke into the comms. “Goodbye old girl” He said to the ship “ I’ll Miss ya”

OREOISFIREFLY

(oreo stands straight up and face shiny)

Oreo- i stumbled across this here box and...

Shiny- you mean you're doing what you want to, as usual?!

Oreo- well, when you put it like that, you make it sound as if im up to no good.

(shiny folds her arms and glares at oreo with a stern look on her face)

Oreo- Ah, come on now shiny. i ain't up to nothin. I came down here cause i got tired of waitin, came across the box, opened it and the twins were in it.

Shiny- You hate them.

Oreo- don't mean they gotta be shut in like hogs on a rutting farm.

(Shiny unfolds her arms and steps towards oreo)

Shiny- I knew it.

Oreo- knew what?

Shiny- Deep down in that attitude of your's you care. and you care about the twins.

Oreo- hey now! don't be jumpin to conclusions now. they're part of the crew, its the only reason i let them out. plus they got them speacial brains of theirs might see trouble before the rest of us...

Shiny- Oreo. You're found out. live with it. you care and you're a softy. in an odd way, it's kinda cute. Kinda.

(shiny cracks a grin and turns. the thought about asking about the whole deal with the shuttle entered into her mind to ask, but waved it off instead)

Oreo- It ain't cute. it's humane. yeah, thats what it is.

(oreo turns back around to come face to face with storm and suddenly screams in his face, sending oreo stumbling backwards and to the ground. shiny, quickly turns around and throws her arms around storm to confront)

Shiny- storm. storm. it's me shiny. it's okay. shhhhh. shhhh. it's okay.

(Storm slowly calms down and settles into shiny embrace. shiny turns her head towards oreo)

Shiny- what did you do?!

(oreo replys in amazement)

Oreo- what did i do. i didn't do anything. i turned back after you let and that little rat just started to go all wooly.

(A voice from the background fill the air)

Voice- that because they're not supposed to be awake yet.

(Shiny and Oreo turn in the direction of the voice)

Shiny- Captain. no worries. storms okay now.

(shiny slows rocks storm back and fourth. oreo stands to his feet.)

Captain- Oreo, had i known all it took was a kid to scream at you to knock you down, i would have done it months ago.

(Oreo flashes a sour look on his face)

Captain- well, stir up summer and get them situated for me shiny. I'd ask oreo to do it, but i'd hate for him to wind up on the ground again from summer screamin at him.

(Oreo continues to flash his sour face)

Captain- Wash is getting El shuttle straight, once done i want everyone in the galley. Dong Ma?

Shiny- got it captain

Oreo- whatever

Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.

"Most likely whoever is in Elbartos stolen shuttle won't be joining us in the galley.
The shuttle is under quarantine - no one goes in, no one comes out. Dong Ma?"

"Shiny, get the Twins up and cared for. Then meet in the galley. We all have a lot of catchin' up to do."

Shadow hears the words 'I'll miss ya.' come across the speakers, faintly, as Wisps 'com ends.

He imagines having to do the same to Tranquility some day. =never=

Shadow 'coms Wash.
"Wash, take us into the black. Everyone, meet in the galley in 10."
