Currently;

Shanti's prone and drugged form remained on the floor under the steps of the cargo bay, waiting for her illustrious captain and his cohorts to move the plot foreward.

"Well, Cappy, who exactly is this?"

Hairy hands wrapped around his heavy pistols, aiming at the newcomer, Banner's mouth is cigar-less, always a bad sign.

Puro flipped some switches, pressed some buttons and replied back to Darren through the com "Shiny everything's running smooth. Thank you Darren."

"No problem Puro just doin' my job." Darren said into the com. He clicked off the com satisfied with his work. Darren wiped off his hands and headed for the cargo bay.

Puro activated the shipwide com "Darren's got us up and running Captain. Awaiting your orders sir."

The Captain looked at the man from the past and lept toward him. He grabbed his neck and threw him across the galley in an instant the doctor was up and delivering a punch to Faolin's stomach while shooting a tranq at Banner. The fight continued back and forward until both we're tired and bloody. We'll meet again Faolin the man disappeared with a brigth flash of light. the captain had barely enough time to page Dr. Luap before colapsing

Darren made it to the cargo bay at the same time as Dr. Luap. "What happened in here Doc?"

Dr. Luap shrugged "I don't know Darren but go check on the others while I check on the Captain."

Darren nodded and stepped over Banner's tranqed body. Darren grinned and thought about kicking Banner in the crotch, but stopped thinking that as he noticed Shanti slumped underneath the stairs. He ran over to her, knelt down, and checked her pulse.

"Oh good yer alive." Darren said to himself. He propped Shanti's head on his lap and said as shook her gently "Shanti it's Darren! Please wake up!"

Roughly yanking the dart from his neck, Banner uneasily stood to his feet, swaying slightly. Darren shot a quick look to the merc, then back to the prone cook.

"'Ello, Darren. Hey, Shanti get tranqed too? Sh'ain't quite got my constitution."

Squatting beside the unconcious Shanti, Banner quickly draws a small silver flask from his hip pocket.

"Hell are you doing?" Darren shouts, raising his fist.

"Try'n hit me again, I'll put ya down so hard your neck'll snap," Banner replies calmly, unscrewing the flask. "Wake-up juice, my own blend. Quite handy back'n in the war."

DRPAIN

Friday, July 21, 2006 5:05 PM

Are ya comin' on ta me Banner? Cause if'n ya are I only like womenfolk." Darren replied with a smile. Before Banner could reply, Shanti spitted and sputtered. She blinked opened her eyes and looked around "Ugh what was that?"

"It'd be best if'n ya didn't ask." Darren said as he looked at Banner. He lifted Shanti up gently as Banner put away his flask. Shanti smiled at Darren "Thank you for helping me up."

"Eh it was nothin' Shanti." Darren replied.

"Aw get a room ya two." replied Banner with a disgusted look on his face.

Shanti spun around to face Banner "And just what do you mean by that Banner?"

"Think ya know exactly what I mean. Wasn't 'zactly a brainteaser. And as for helpin' ya up, oughta be thanking me, not some young greasemonkey."

Shanti pauses, a thoughtful look on her face. "How old are you, Banner?"

"Fifty-one," he replies coolly, ramming a cigar into his mouth. "What 'bout you, Darren? Didn't bother to ask, what with your antagonism and all."

DRPAIN

Friday, July 21, 2006 5:19 PM

Where's everyone?

"I'm 34 Banner." replied Darren with a wry smile on his face.

Captain Faolin came to just as Darren finished replying to Banner's question. He got up and said "Will you two stop with the twenty questions and get to work. Shanti how're you feeling?"

"Other than the after-taste of that...stuff...I'm feeling pretty decent."

"Actually, 'Captain," Banner said, cracking his large knuckles. "I still got questions gonna be answered."

"No, you don't." The captain's face was dark, eyes flashing anger.

"Ya know, maybe I don't after all."

DRPAIN

Friday, July 21, 2006 5:46 PM

Oh yipee! Go post something on the L.O.S. thread.

Darren smiled at Shanti and headed back to the engine room. He didn't want to anger the Captain anymore then he already was, so he left without saying a word.

Shanti shakes her head, still dizzy.

"Captain? Can I ask what just happened, or is that something I'm better off not knowing as well?" The acrid taste of Banner's patented wake-up juice stuck to her tongue and throat like oil and she made her way into the kitchen and dug in the cooler for some not-quite-orange-juice.

Turning, she caught Banner watching her with a strange look on his face. What was it? Sympathy? Concern? It didn't look quite like the burly merc, whatever it was.

Puro's voice brought her out of her musings, "How the hell did he get onboard. I didn't open any airlocks for hell-bent strangers!"

DRPAIN

Friday, July 21, 2006 9:53 PM

Darren felt his stomach rumble. After all that happened in the cargo bay, he was hungry. Darren shrugged and left the engine room. He saw everyone in the galley as he walked in and made his way to the pantry.

Banner spotted Darren and said "Oy I thought ya was gonna stay in the engine room like a good greasemonkey."

Darren turned around, saw Banner and smiled "I changed my mind Gramps. My stomach was rumblin' so's I came here for somethin' ta eat. Savvy?"

"Ya best watch what ya say ta me boy or else?" Banner spat out.

"What are ya goin' ta do, break a hip?"

"ENOUGH!" shouted Faolin. "You two stop this bickering or you two will find yourselves out of a job and thrown out an airlock."

"Yes sir!" both Banner and Darren had managed to say. Darren grabbed a couple of granola bars and sat down at the table across from another. Banner was about to reach for one when he caught the Captain looking at him. Banner retracted his hand and gave Darren a wicked grin. Darren gave Banner an unfazed look and bit into his granola bar.

"Maybe later, when you ain't got a heavy piece o' metal and cowardice on yer mind."

Darren replied in a cool tone "Oh I'm sorry geezer did ya think I was goin' ta shoot ya with my gun? I was just makin' sure that a senile old fool such as ya self didn't try ta take it."

Banner replied "I may be old but I'll take ya down faster than ya can spit."

DRPAIN

Saturday, July 22, 2006 1:43 AM

"That's fine by me Banny." Darren said not taking his eyes of the merc. Darren got up from the table and continued "And the only moves I'll be makin' on ya are the ones that'll cause pain."

By that time everyone had stopped talking and were looking at the two men. Captain Faolin spoke up "Well if you two are finished with your childish banter, can we please get back to how that man got onto my ship?"

Darren looked at Faolin "That's fine with me Cap'n." Darren looked back at Banner and said "How 'bout ya Banny ol' boy?"

Shanti looked over her shoulder at Banner and said "A lady never tells Mr. Banner." She finishes pouring her forgotten not-so-quite-orange juice into a glass and puts the container back into the cooler.

"Indeed," Banner harrumphs, and turns to Darren. "Some'ow I get the feeling she's told ya that, and then some."

"Why me?"

"Well, fer some peculiar reason, ya two seem closer than to much anything else in yer lives. I just figured ya'd been sharin' all that lovey-dovey sugary secrets and all."

"Aye, if that be the case, what'cha wanna do is keep both of yer mouths shut. I've seen too many good outfits like this one blow up in ma face due to unnecessary closeness. Gotta keep yourselves as disconnected as possible to stay flyin'."

"But what about the pleasures of human company?" Shanti puts in, settling at the table.

"You, of all people, should know that human company is almost always unpleasant."

"So what, Banner, ya saying people should just be alone their entire lives?" Darren kicks back in his chair, arms folded.

"In this sort o' business, yeah. Think about it; you an' Shanti become best o' friends, practically inseparable, right? Then, once one of ya gets killed, the rest of us would have a useless unit."

DRPAIN

Saturday, July 22, 2006 11:20 PM

Darren replied "Well ta each their own Banner. If'n ya want ta be alone for the rest of yer life then go right on ahead. That just means more friends for the likes of me and Shanti."

Ignoring that comment, Banner continues with his impromptu lecture.

"Love is highly dangerous for a mercenary of any sort, even if it's love for someone outside the business. Jus' heaps on a whole buncha worry and anticipation, and, once again, when one of ya dies.." Banner shrugs non-committadely. "Ya can't function without half of yerself."

"Exactly how do ya know so much 'bout love and loss when ya claim to never get close to anybody?" Darren asks.

Banner smiles thinly. "Wasn't always alone, Darren. Not always."

"Best ya take it then if'n ya know what's good for ya." Darren replied in a cool tone.

Shanti rolled her eyes, got up and said in an
irritated tone "You two are getting on my nerves."

Shanti stormed out of the galley and headed for her room. She shook her head and yelled "MEN!"

Darren looked at Banner and said "Some more than others."

Banner grinned "Now boy don't ya go sayin' that 'bout yerself."

Darren raised an eyebrow and replied "I ain't the one I was referin' to."

Meanwhile in Shati's bunk

Shanti picked up Jeddy and plopped down in her bed, hugging Jeddy close to her chest. She said to Jeddy "Why does Darren have to act like a complete a$$ when Banner's around?"

She held up the bear and stared into its expressionless eyes. She thought to herself "I've known men like Darren and yet Darren is different. It's probabably because he's never tried to take sexual advantage of me. Or maybe it's the fact that he's always nice to me. What do you think Jeddy?"

Jeddy stared back at Shanti saying nothing. Shanti sighed and laid down on her bed. She said to Jeddy as she turned off the light and ignored the hunger in her stomach "You're right Jeddy I'll never understand that Darren. Banner on the other hand well he's just an uncaring old fart who could stand to loosen up."

Shanti let out a sigh and let sleep overcome her.

(Uncaring!? Banner cares. He just hides it behind his muttonchops and jackass-ism. Cut him some slack, his whole family died, fachrissakes! Okay, rant over!

"Gettin' late," Darren remarks, checking his shiiiiny watch.

"Although there ain't really night and day out in the black. Just...black," Banner muses, sipping from his flask.

"That'd make it night," the shy Mononoke puts in.

"Guess it t'would, now wouldn't it?" He studies Darren thoughtfully. "Ya know, was a good thing ya did that earlier, ya know. With the wrench?"

"Care ta explain that?" Darren says with a wry smile, fondly remembering bashing the cockney bastard's head.

"Didn't 'ave much respect for ya, before that little outburst. But any man who's got the wrinklies to try'n hit me deserves some respect. Even if they hit from behind."

Well, off to sleep, bud, so feel free to continue the banter.

I will miss our conversations.

DRPAIN

Sunday, July 23, 2006 6:47 AM

Yeah same here. I'll be going to bed myself after this post.

"What are the specifics? These jewels kept in the open? Or are we looking at a safe?" Shanti gnawed on her lip as she considered the possibilities. "Gaurds? Terrain?"

She glanced over at Banner, who seemed calmer than before, and then back at Darren, who was still glaring at the gunman from time to time. Good thing Gail seemed to have finished off every bottle of rice-wine on the ship and seemed in no condition to start a fight for himself.

Shanti grinned at Mononoke. This ship sure needed more women!

Tuesday, July 25, 2006 2:48 AM

"Well, if the fellow has the money to heap jewels on 'is daughter, then I expect he'll have guards enough to keep 'em safe. Speakin' o' which, he'll probably have a safe-room ta keep 'em in."

"Erm, Ah mean, sorry to step on yer toes, Shanti."

Maybe Faolin has a companion friend...

"Well there are a number of safes some more guarded then others. I have codes for 4 of the five safes all but the largest. We have a choice the pool from the smaller two is about the size of that of the second to largest. We could go for either"

Remembering the bank job, Shanti grinned. "I liked using that thing, Darren. I might carry it just for fun!"

"Tools, girl, not toys!" Banner reprimanded her.

For a brief second she had the urge to stick her tongue out at him. Where had that come from?! That was a stupid thing for a slave to do... Shaking it off, she glanced over at the Captain, "Do we have a map of the layout?"

As an afterthought, she added, "And this girl? Who is she? I don't want anyone getting hurt."

"Can't you two knock it off for two minutes?" The complaint came from such an unlikely quarter that the others fell silent and stared at Gail who glared defensively, "I got a headache the size of Tydus Moon and you ain't helpin it! Now, we plannin' this job or ain't we?"

"We're planning." The captain affirms, tapping his fist on the table, "I've got word the girl will be at a social event on Friday night. We should have the house in the clear; guards, dogs and cameras not withstanding."

"Dogs?" Shanti winced. She only liked dogs one way and it involved large amounts of garlic and onion with just a dash of curry.

"Darren you skills could pobably help us. We have maps with labeled security lasers and guard post. The dogs shouldn't be a problem if we don't get caught. If Darren, Shanti, and I handle the heist. Banner could maybe take the shuddle first a make a small distraction. Nothing that will have the guard calling th emaster of the house home.

Shanti nods at the Captain's assessment. The plan sounds pretty solid. "So, do we try to take all four safes that we have the codes for? If we split up on the inside, it could go faster."

Then she hesitated, brow wrinkled in thought, "Of course, that also means we're seperated if something goes wrong. More chance of one of us getting caught or the others forced to leave them behind."

Wednesday, July 26, 2006 6:32 AM

"Distraction?" Banner's face tugs into a broad grin. "I'll take it, however small. What kind do ya want? I can do drunk, naked, or loud."

Pushing to her feet she makes her way into the galley and starts pulling out her pots and pans. "Well I reckon everyone's bound be getting hungry. I'll see what I can whip up."

She takes a glance at Banner's bruised jaw, and gives him sympathetic smile, "Try to make it easy to chew."

"Captain, where is this job, anyway? How long until we get there? Because I didn't get a chance to shop on Persephone and we're getting slim on essentials."

"I can show ya a few tricks to thinning out the grub, Shanti. Make it last, although I hope ya don't care too much for taste."

"Well we'll get to This moon or whatever by night tommorow. This guy actually paid to have it specifically terraformed. That's how rich he is."

Shanti lowered her head in Banner's direction, "Thank you for your offer, sir. I think I can manage."

As she slices protien and mixes it with seasoning, the discussion on the job continues.

"How big a take we looking at?" Gail asks, 100% practical.

"Enough we can take a break, maybe take some time planet-side." The captain answers, "Have ourselves a vacation."

"If'n we can find a planet where nobody wants to kill us, that is?" Banner tossed out, and Gail saluted him.

Shanti thought about her words for a long moment before she actually spoke them aloud, "This is almost like a vacation, well, without the intruders and the doping and the shooting, I mean. I keep waiting for it to all end."

The others seem to hear what she doesn't say; that she expects to return to slavery, that being on the ship is like facing a desert mirage, never sure if it's water or just an empty promise.

Darren thought to himself "Aw a vacation. I haven't had one of those in awhile. Perhaps it'll be sunny and then I can work on my tan."

"A vacation could happen if we do this right we go for as much as we have time for starting at the top."

Shanti heaped food onto a platter and dropped it into the middle of the table before stacking plates and silverware nearby.

She was still feeling the affects of the drugs, and her body was protesting the lack of nutrients in her system. It was all she could do to drop into a seat beside Puro and scoop some protien hash onto her plate.

"Jewel's are all well and pretty, Captain. But the real question is are they marked? And do we have a buyer?" She doesn't say, 'because if you shot Badger we can't look to him for any favors', but she thinks it. Men and their tempers would likely get them all killed.

Mononoke wrinkles her nose as she thinks, "Even if the jewels are laser-marked, I can probably hack the registry and re-register their numbers to our buyer. That is, if we have a buyer."

Uh, guys? Some help with plot progression would be good here. help!

Faolin spoke up as he scooped some protein hash onto his plate "Well Shanti there is a good chance they could be marked and if they are then I'm sure our Mononoke here can work her magic. As for a buyer, I do know someone. It's just a question of whether she'll do business with me or shoot me."

"Who is this lady Captain Foalin?" Shanti said a little hesitant.

Faolin replied "I only know her by her nickname of Mistress. She's one tough lady who won't think twice about killing folk. We uh kind of have some history between us, none of which that I'd like to discuss at the moment."
