See if you can find some fresh vegies and meat or something nice... thinking everybody needs a big breakfast or such after what Spots has told us.

I'm not gonna be able to come down, as abbey isn't out of the woods yet... and I have a massive headache... ask Mobbex.

**Watches Jiang leave the boat on Aquila**

Huh..who'd a thought ingnoring him would work that well.

**Looks to Invictus**

Padre, We've been through a lot trying to get Fid's tech. I know we're close, but we're heading to Greenleaf. Abbey's still down, Mobbex is still limpin on that gimp leg of his. Now's not the time to get into trouble on St. Albans. We're 'bout 10 hours outta Greenleaf from here. We'll take a day or two, rest up, then head out.

**To all the crew around**

We intercepted a message from Black Spyder. Bounty Hunter working an uneasy Alliance with the Tranquility right now. Seems he had some partners chasing after Fid. From the looks of the message they still think he's onboard. So keep your guard up.

One other thing. Seems LT and Spots overhauled our Port Shuttle door 'fore he left. So does anyone want to explain what the hell happend to Abbeys shuttle door?

Looks like someone went after it with a blow torch. Now I know it wasn't me and unless it was Spots someone better get with our mechanic and make sure the seals going to hold once we take off. Oh and if he can't make it look like it used to,...well best hope he can.

*abbey stirs in infirmary and slowly opens her eyes. The glare from the room lights cause her to shut them quickly. She groans and opens her eyes again. She tries to get up but is too tired and decides to settle back down on the infirmary bed. She doesn't remember how long it was since she has felt this tired - oh wait - it was the last time this happened. She mutters to herself.*

Gorram it! Rutting pain killers! How long have I been here?

*she picks at the IV in her arm, but leaves it alone after a minute. She musters some strength and calls out weakly.*

Is anyone out there? Oram?

Mobbex: What the gorram hell is this?!!

*Oram looks, then burst out laughing*

It’s a spa retreat!!!

*at Mobbex’s look*

It's a place where you go to relax and such…. Spend a day here and you feel like a new you….

*pushes Mobbex forward, he reluctantly enters*

Mobbex: It’s a woman’s thing to lie around and make pretty, not men.

*Abbey tries to sit up*

Just lie back, you not going anywhere till the Doc checks you out. Once she says it's ok to move you we'll get you back to your shuttle.

*Abbey: Where's Oram?*

Wash just called said her and Mobbex went into town for something or other. Should be back soon.

Doc, took care of your appointments. I mean canceled them. She said no one was mad at ya. Wish you well and...all.

Once their back we're going to head to Greenleaf, take a couple days there.

Oh... I think I remembered that. Um... Didn't mean to be a trouble.

*Colt: Wasn't a big deal. It needed to be done. I'm sure... anyone would've if they found you. You OK?*

Yeah. Been a while since this has happened. Last time it was really bad.

*An hour latter Abbey is relaxing, lulling into sleep… Then the sounds of argument begin to travel up the ship disturbing her, and she can't help but hear what's being said*

Mobbex: It was a simple question … nuthin’ to get all sore about, Doc…

*Oram has obviously walked ahead of Mobbex, her face is flushed and she looks livid*

And I told ya to drop it!

Mobbex: I only asked, if you’re married, why you ain’t wearing no fancy ring or nuthin’.

Because it’s none of your business and I don't have to tell anybody that I don't want to, besides I ain’t married any more… happy now?

*Mobbex looks put off, but just shrugs his shoulders and disappears into the galley. Oram watches him go, then sits on the couch just across from the infirmary, head bowed and hands clasped together…. She sits there for a moment or two, taking deep shaky breaths. When composed enough she looks up and stills… seeing that Abbey, in the infirmay room, has seen her and the argument*

I know we haven't talked much in the last 4 years or so. You got married?

*Oram gets up and walks into infirmary, sitting down next to abbey's bed*

*Oram: Yeah. I don't want to talk about it. So don't ask.*

*abbey says softly*

I won't ask. Just I'm here if you need to talk.

*Oram nods thankfully. abbey changes subjects.*

Anything interesting go on while I was out?

*Oram: I got really drunk. Mobbex too.*

Anything good?

*Oram: Oh... And I'm sure he is really sorry about your shuttle door.*

*abbey's eyes narrow*

What is wrong with my shuttle door?

*Oram: You don't know? Looks like mobbex used a blow torch on it and kinda "borrowed" some wine.*

Borrowed? It wasn't the magnum was it?

*Oram nodded sheepishly*

That cost 200 credits! *tries to sit up, but is stopped by Oram* And where was that Captain while this was going on? Oh, I will have to speak about this to him... *abbey continues to rant as Oram rolls eyes at her* I SAW THAT! When can I get up? This is unacceptable...

*Oram: If you shut up and go to sleep, I could release you tomorrow morning.*

*Oram turns off overhead lights, leaving just a soft glow in the room and heads for bunk, leaving abbey to fume*

ORAM

Monday, April 14, 2008 7:45 AM

*Oram quietly opens the door to her bunk, stepping in and shutting the door behind her. She thinks about abbey's outburst and what’s going to happen*

She sure is wound up tonight; wouldn't want to be the Captain tomorrow. Definitely a fight on the horizon that we’ll hear about... *smiles to herself* I should get popcorn ready.

*she sits down on her bed, taking in a deep breath and begins to think about her afternoon with Mobbex and everything else that’s happened. She doesn't move for a few minutes, then, as if on a whim, proceeds to pull her old and beat-up duffle bag out. She removes a full bottle of bourbon from it and takes a long gulp. When done, she climbs into the bed, pulling the blankets around her mud-smelling body. Oram regards the bag some more before reaching into it with a slightly shaky hand and pulls out a worn picture. She takes another swig of the bourbon before running a finger softly over the picture.*

I miss you guys…

*She wipes her face with her hand and placing the bottle on the ground, curling herself around the photo.*

I'm so sorry….

Oram? You out there?

*she waits a minute or two, but Oram doesn't show up. Impatiently, abbey unhooks the IV from her arm and gets up gingerly. Her legs feel stiff from being in the infirmary a couple of days and she’s still pretty tired, but not like before. She walks out of the room and goes to Oram’s. She knocks*

Oram? Are you home?

*she hears a little movement, but no one answers. She opens the door and sees Oram, passed out on her bed with a half-empty bottle of bourbon next to her. Abbey goes inside and places the bottle on nightstand, making sure it is tightly capped. Oram is disheveled, not bothering to get her night clothes on. Abbey notices something in Oram’s hand and picks it up. It is a picture of Oram with a man and child. They all looked so happy. Abbey frowns and says softly: *

Oh, Oram… *a sadness laces abbey’s words*

*She puts the picture on the nightstand too and gently pull’s Orams boots off. She covers her friend with a blanket and quietly leaves the room.*

Now, let’s go check out the shuttle. *she mumbles as she makes her way slowly to her home.*

((I got a hold of Sky, just to let everyone know. I sat on the phone with her for an hour. Her uncle ain't doing so well, but she's handling it. For those who haven't heard, her uncle is in the hospital basically on his death bed. For all those who believe in some kinda God, I ask that you please pray for him if you read this and if you don't believe in any kind of God, well... I guess pray anyway. Second... as I talked to her, she had me write out a thing for the RP, so she's trying to keep up. She said she's gonna try to make it to an internet cafe for the tuesday meeting. Ummm... that's all, I guess. lol. Ok so here's my post finally...))

*heads into her bunk with new clothes and lays them out on her bed; she stares at them for minutes at a time, then puts a brown dress on that's slightly loose and is cut down to her knees. She slips a pair of old brown boots on and then twirls around, watching the ends of her dress flow with her spin; looks down at herself, holding the ends of her dress with her hands and frowning.*

I look like a rag doll. *sighs and then shrugs and finds the captain*

These clothes are troublesome. They make me look like I'm attached to strings and I'm being controlled by a puppetmaster. I feel like an ugly doll.

((The following is pretty much Sky's post))

*Sky walks in, an irritated tone in her voice*

Sky: Captain, when are we leaving this dump?

Colt: Are you still upset about--

Sky: Hell yeah, I'm upset!

Brit: I look like a rag doll. At least you don't have something to hate.

Colt: *chuckles* It's alright Sky. I'm sure Brit would be happy to share her gift with you. Ain't no reason to be feeling hurt and all. Lt. never really got a chance to talk with you anyhow.

Sky: *grumbles* I guess.

Brit: I will share. *smiles*

Sky: No... thanks. *walks away and plops herself down in the galley, pouring herself a glass of alcohol and chugs it* *thinks to herself* Gorram Colt... always lettin' weirdos in his life. Always fallin' in with the gorram wrong crowd and who always picks up his slack? Me? Hell, I guess it's supposed to be my job but, damn... picking up crazies like Brit and twisted preachers... what the hell is he thinkin'?!

Brit: *walks in the galley* I know what you think of me. I am not a bad person. I know you'd never say it, but you wish I wasn't here.

Sky: *looks over at Brit and chuckles in disbelief* I ain't thinkin' nothin' like that. You're just paranoid...
*holds up the bottle of alcohol* Want a glass?

Brit: *gives her a look* I'm only 18.

Sky: *laughs* I started drinkin' when I was much younger than that. Hell... my motto is, drink responsibly... *takes a large gulp of alcohol*... drink whenever the hell you want. *offers Brit a drink again*

Brit: No thank you. They said that would be bad for my brain. *walks away*

Sky: *laughs again and continues to drink*

*abbey stood in front of her shuttle door, arms crossed and foot tapping angrily. The door was permanently stuck open about 2 inches and there were scorch marks all around the frame*

Wang ba dan! (son of a bh)

*with great effort, she pushes the door open and steps through the threshold. She leans against the wall while she tries to catch her breath, all the while surveying the damage. Luckily, it was only the bar that was damaged. The door had been forced open.*

Now I'll need to take inventory. *she panted, out of breath*

*Her anger level was rising quickly, but she had to take care of something first. She went to her living quarters and pulled out a bottle of pills. She poured two into her hand before putting the bottle away.

She walked back outside the shuttle and ran into Brit.*

Hey Brit. Could you do me a favor?

*Brit nods happily. abbey hands her the two pills.*

Oram's going to wake up soon and she's gonna have one humdinger of a hangover. Can you get her a couple of protein bars and a glass of water and take them to her?

*Brit nods again, eyeing the pills intently*

Be sure she takes those. It will help immensely. Best thing the House ever invented.

*abbey's eyes narrow a bit as she asked her next question.*

*abbey finds Colt in the hallway by the crew quarters, getting ready to descend into his bunk. Mobbex catches sight of abbey and quickly retreats back into his bunk. Colt sees abbey and smiles*

Colt: Hey, you’re up. Doc clear you?

*abbey is taken off guard.*

No... I am… I am perfectly capable of getting up on my own.

Colt (narrowing his eyes at her and stepping towards her): Then I’ll be taking you back down there then.

I don’t think so. *she huffs at him angrily* I have something I’d like to discuss with you.

Colt: Won’t be any discussions until you’re cleared by the Doc.

Doc is out cold in her room. She doesn’t need to be there to tell me how I do or do not feel.

Colt: Why are you arguing what’s been decided?

*abbey ignores his comment*

What are you going to do about my shuttle? First you get me shot…

Colt: I wasn’t even there!

*abbey continues to ignore him*

Then your rutting merc breaks the door to my shuttle and steals alcohol from me! That magnum cost 200 credits and I will be reimbursed either by him or you…

Colt (indignant): Me? I didn’t take it!

He’s on your crew. That makes you responsible! *abbey takes in a labored breath*

Colt: You need to be in bed. I’ll take you back…

Don’t tell me what to do! I am not one of your flunkies! *draws in another labored breath. Colt rolls his eyes, throws abbey over his shoulder and proceeds to carry her back downstairs*

You put me down this instant!

*Sky comes to the doorway connecting the hallway with the galley and observes what is happening. At the same time, Wash looks down from the bridge. As Colt and abbey leave their sight, they look at each other and shrug.*

Colt (as abbey is kicking legs trying to get down): I told you, you’re going back downstairs until the Doc clears you.

YOU PUT ME DOWN OR I’LL… I’LL… *wheezes*

Colt: What? Wheeze me to death?

Abbey screams in frustration. Colt carries her back to the infirmary and plops her unceremoniously onto the infirmary bed.

Colt: Now you stay here until the Doc clears you. *leans into her personal space in order to make a point* If I have to, I will strap you to this bed.

Abbey crosses her arms across her chest and glowers at him.

How dare you!

Colt: Don’t. Come. Out. Until. You. Are. Cleared. Am I crystal clear? *abbey nods in defeat* Shiny then.

Colt leaves the room, leaving abbey hopping mad.

Oram wakes with a sudden start, then moans and covers her head with a pillow, while blindly searching for a drink on the bedside table… resigned to the fact she has to open her eyes, she lifts her head. Spotting the tablets, cup of water, a 3 protein bars; then the photo perched besides the water to face her.

Oh…. shen di yu…. Who the hell….

She crawls out of the bed, putting the photo deeply into the bag, then zips it shut. Takes the tablets with a gulp of water… she’s done the hangover far too many times. Pulling her boots back on and getting to her feet slowly. Then… it hits her.

Ma zi song xie sha zi!! Abbey!!!

Rushes out of her bedroom and into the infirmary…. And immediately notices the mood Abbey is in

I decide to to leave it alone. Brit starts to giggle so I shoot her the look. She just sticks her tongue out at me. I quickly turn around and take the back way to the crew quarters.**

*Upon entering, Abbey gives Oram a filthy look, a small leather pouch besides her that she’s tossing, but seeing who it is, softens her expression.*

What’s wrong with you?

Abbey: You’re the doctor, *you* tell *me*!

* Oram just stands there, waiting for Abbey to get her mood under control.*

Abbey: It's not dignified to be dropped onto your butt by a person, let alone the *Captain*, by way of winning an argument…

Uh huh…. Was it the fact that you were having a mild asthma attack while you two were at it, Wheezy?

*Gets an inhaler for Abbey and gives it to her, Abbey simply takes two puffs before handing it back.*

No, keep it for now, you’re gonna need it until you’re back to yourself.

Abbey: * Watches Oram closely* You ok?

*Oram finishes writing in the medical journal*

Dandy, just tired. You’re free to go about and terrorise the captain more… just don’t over do it.

Abbey: Have you eaten anything since yesterday?

Not yet, I'm not hungry at this point in time….

Abbey: If you don’t go to the galley … I’ll… tell the Captain!

*Oram gives her a look, rolls her eyes and replies sarcastically*

I'm so scared. Besides I’m the doctor, you're the patient… I look after you guys, doesn't go the other way round.

*Abbey hesitates for a few seconds, arguing with herself about something*

Abbey: Oram… about last night… I saw the photo –

*Oram cuts her off. Abbey has ruined the moment and Oram’s own settling anger*

Why is everybody all of a sudden interested in me? Just don’t. Drop it.

*She turns around and leaves, tossing the medical journal onto the nearby desk, not heading for any specific place within the ship, leaving Abbey a little stunned at the turn of mood.*

Well drinking on this boat has seesm to cause no end of trouble. I'd ban it but I think I might need one from time to time, with this crew?

*Oram smiles, releived that I'm not pressing her for answers*

So hows your patient? She going to be up and around soon.

*Oram: I'll complete my evaluation today. I think she'll check out fine, but she'll need to take it easy for a few days*

*comes out of shuttle, refreshed from her medical ordeal of the past couple of days. Her blonde hair is slightly curled and it cascades over her shoulder. Her makeup is expertly applied. She is wearing a pair of black trousers and a red button up shirt. Both are plain, but from the detail you can tell they are very expensive. She sees Oram on the catwalk below, obviously thinking deeply. abbey walks quietly down to her side.*

Oram?

Oram: I don't want to talk. Wish you guys would mind your own business.

I saw the picture...

Oram (getting angrier): I said I didn't want to talk!

*abbey puts up her hands and takes a step back.*

I just wanted you to know that I wasn't going to ask, nor was I going to pry.

*Oram calms down and turns to look at abbey*

I'll just be here if you want to.

*abbey changes subject*

How's the head? Those pills work?

Oram: Like a charm. Where'd you get those?

The House makes them. Best thing since sliced bread. I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone I had them. I don't want to further entice any thieves into my shuttle.

Oram: Your secret is safe with me.

Thanks. I'm going up to get some food. Haven't eaten for a couple days. I'm starved.

*she hugs Oram and starts towards the galley. She gets a few yards away*

Oram: abbey? *abbey turns back to Oram.* Thanks for not pushing.

No problem, mei mei. I'll be here if you need me.

I didn't know this nasty stuff could taste good. Guess I'm just really hungry.

*she eats in peace, then takes her dishes to the sink. She makes some coffee and washes her dishes. She grabs a mug and pours the coffee into it. The Captain walks in. Both of them bristle.*

Captain.

Colt: abbey.

*It is awkward. Their conversation is guarded.*

I got the coin you left.

Colt: Didn't want you to wait. You seemed mad.

Thank you.

Colt: no problem.

I made coffee. *abbey gestures at coffee pot*

Colt: Smelled it. Came down for a cup. *he reaches in front of her for his mug. Pours it and takes a drink.* It's good.

Thank you.

*They stand next to each other at the sink drinking their coffees. Neither know why they haven't sat down. It is so quiet you could hear a pin drop.*

Colt: Did the doc clear you?

*abbey shoots him an annoyed look*

You gonna carry me down there again?

Colt (flashes her a smile): Only if she hasn't.

No. I am good to move about. I have... permission.

Colt: Good... You seem to be breathin' better.

*abbey pulls inhaler out of her pocket. Shows it to the Captain.*

She gave me this if I needed it.

Colt: Good.

*continues to stand in silence. They finish up their coffees and move at the same time to put them in the sink. Their mugs collide and fall to the floor. Luckily they didn't break. They look angrily at each other. Both lean down to pick up their mugs and their heads bump together and they both fall on their behinds*

Colt and abbey together: Owwww!

*They look at each other, rubbing their own bumped heads.*

Colt and abbey together: Hey!

*They both grab their mugs and stand up. As they put their mugs in the sink, the identical thing almost happens again.*

Colt: What is your problem?

You ran into me!

Colt: I did not.

Did too!

Colt: I did NOT!

DID TOO!

*they both glare at each other for a minute, neither willing to budge. abbey wheezes, pulls out her inhaler and takes a puff, all the while not moving her eyes from the Captain's.*

Colt: You OK?

I'm fine. I am going to see Oram.

*abbey spins around and starts to leave the galley. Colt continues to glare at her. As she disappears around the corner, Colt hears her yell:*

Now I have to see her about a rutting HEAD injury!

You're lucky I am madder at the Captain right now than you.

Captain paid for the magnum. I think you owe him money.

Mobbex: How much was it? I could pick some up at the next stop...

It was 200 credits.

*Mobbex jaw hits the floor*

Let's just say that if you come into my shuttle again with out permission, I will shoot you. Dong ma?

Well if you don't like the accomidations I'm sure we can make some changes *somewhat dissapointed that Doc doesn't see it as her bed yet* Thinking to myself. If I lose the Doc things are going to be a mite tricky 'round here.*

Pots on. Be a while till it brews. Abbey says your not eating. Not gonna press you as to why so long as you start eating.
*I get a pan out and fire up the cook top.*

Oram: I'd rather not. I'm not really hungery.

I guess i'm not wording things right. Your going to eat.

*I open a can of processed imitation eggs and pour it into the pan*

Now that thats settled how do you take your coffee?

*Oram’s gaze flickers from Colt to the cooking ‘eggs’ in the pan, she breaths heavily through her nose, signalling defeat*

2 sugars, lots of milk…

*Colt goes about making the breakfast, Oram doesn’t move from her spot, instead scratching the surface of the wood table with her thumbnail in an attempt to try and ignore the Captain.*

*Oram stares at the food, feeling her stomach turn over at the smell of the omlette. Feeling that she owes the Captain she takes a bite and manages to swallow it down, the cooking isn’t bad… but the product is gag-worthy*

*to herself* Could be in bed, trying to sleep…. Counting inventory…. No, screw that… or go for another of Abbey's magnum wine… damn fine taste … could actually go with the eggs, even if its to try and swallow them down.

*looks up and notices Colt watching her closely*

What?

Colt: Nothing… just…. What made a young thing like yourself become a doctor?

*Both of us are laughing so hard we have tears in our eyes*

I swear its true. Those cows..... The Cows were in the galley.

*Oram: No...they got in the galley?

Little bitty calf right up on the table. And ol Captain Santos is slapping this big heifer with a frying pan. But...But she aint moving. Oh God, I ain't thought about that in years.

*Oram: How did you get them out?*

Oh after about an hour and several rather stinky deposits around the dinner table, they headed back to the cargo bay.
*wiping the tears from my eyes* Well Doc thank you for the company. I best get back up on the bridge before Wash wakes up and sees me slacking off.

*I stand and start to get the plates*

*Oram: I got it Captain. Thanks for breakfast.*

*After finishing up with cleaning the dishes and mugs, Oram tidies the area to make it ready for the next set of people who come to eat. Glancing around to make sure everything is neat, she changes the flowers water before heading to clean up the room and head for the showers. Entering her room, she sees how messy its become, but with a few moments it's back to a neater state. Oram grabs the bourbon from the side table and puts it back into the duffle bag, not even glancing at the photo, though her hand does touch it unconsciously*

Now… What to do on Greenleaf when we get there….

*Comes by Oram's room and leans in.*

abbey: I think the Captain wants me to stop by for a final check after the whole allergy thing. Do you have time to check me out now?

Oram: Sure.

*Oram and abbey walk to the infirmary, where abbey hops up on bed. Oram checks out abbey's neck for swelling then gets out stethoscope.*

Oram: Deep breath. *abbey sucks in air - Oram hears wheeze* Again. *abbey sucks in air - Oram hears wheeze again* Abbey, your lungs still sound pretty bad. Wheezing all over the place.

abbey *whining*: How long is this going to last?

Oram: That's the thing about Panaflex. People who are allergic have lasting effects. Mostly in the lungs. Could be a week or more before the asthma-like symptoms go away.

abbey: A week? Or more?

Oram: How long did it take the last time?

abbey: It took a while, but I thought it was because of the cold I got right after.

Oram: Probably affected it some, but the drug does enough on its own.

abbey: It's going to be a while then? *Oram nods*

Oram: How's the inhaler working?

abbey: Seems OK.

Oram: How often are you using it?

abbey: Couple a times a day. Usually after going up stairs and the like. Or yelling at the Captain. *Oram smiles at that comment*

Oram: Fighting... With the Captain...

abbey: What? The man is insufferable.

Oram: Do you know what it looks like to me? *Oram gives a big grin and raises eyebrows.*

abbey: What? You think that... With him...?

Oram: Looks like.

abbey: Well put that out of your mind, mei mei. He's just not... I don't... Oh! Never mind!

*Abbey hops off table, leaves infirmary and starts up the stairs. Oram follows her to the door*

Oram *yelling*: And keep that inhaler with you! Without it, you'll have problems! Especially with all the yelling!

abbey *yelling back*: Whatever! *abbey stops and looks over railing at Oram* And Doc?

Oram *sweetly*: Yes?

abbey: You've got a smutty mind!

*abbey continues up stairs muttering to herself. Oram hears the inhaler puff when she reaches top. Oram chuckles, goes back into the infirmary and puts stuff away.*

Oram: Definitely. This is gonna be fun.

**On the Bridge with Wash landing on Greenleaf.**

** Through re-entry and coming in to land at the port**

**Alarms wail and the ship shakes violently and starts to drift of course**

*Wash: Whoa, I just lost hydraulics to the starboard engine. Son of a Bitch. Can't keep us level.*

Can’t you compensate? *She gives me a go to hell look*

Ok Ok you’re doing that. Can you keep us from smashing into the ground?

*Wash: That I might be able to do. *She checks her screens and stands up, still fighting the controls, to glance out the window* There's a field. I think I can set us down there.

Do it

** The Book sets down not so gently, in the middle of nowhere on Greenleaf**

Good Job Wash. Lets go check out the damage.

*Wash starts to follow me out, then turns quickly to stand up all her dinos before leaving the bridge*

* Get to the cargo bay and Spots is coming back in from outside*

How bad?

*Spots: Hard to say yet. We're pouring hydraulic. Got to pull some panels to see where.*

* Later, Wash Spots and I all working under the starboard wing.*

*Spots: I need the big spanner.*
*I hand him one*
*Spots: No the big one. Might still be inside.*

I'll get it.

*I round the ship and see Brit piling wood up*

So were gathering sticks today?

*She nods: They were lonely all spread out.*

They were...forget it. Be careful, don’t need you getting snake bit or worse.

*I return with the "Big Spanner" and not long after the repair is complete.*

*As were tearing down the scaffold we hear a loud Whoosh sound. We all recognize it. Fire.
We head towards the sound only to see Brit's pile of wood burning. She holds up 3 pointed sticks with the charred gooey blobs on them.*

*Brit: Fluff Ball?

Alright, alright. You know, Colt, you don't always have to talk to me like you're giving me orders... We're still old pals, you know...

*Spot assures me were good to go when I'm ready. I stand at the edge of the cargo bay arms folded over my chest. I see Abbey and Mobbex slip out of site.*

Maybe that will put an end to all this relationship nonsense.

*I consider packing everyone back on the ship and heading to the port. Then the sound of laughter reaches my ears from the fire. The rest of the crew is gathered there. Spots and Oram are fighting for the best spot in the fire for their fluff ball. Even Invictus has lifted his self imposed exile and is stoking the flames. Brit's is managing to making Sky smile. This might be just what we needed.*

*Brit looks me straight in the eye and nods as soon as I think that.

Huh

* Now it's time to make peace with Sky. I approach slowly. She's freaky fast and more than once has reminded me, just how fast, with a slap to my head.*

*Sky: I ain't going hit you. Not yet anyway.

Good, I'd hate a replay of Doleson. Wouldn't do much for moral, watching us try to tear each others heads off.

*Sky: No no fighting, you seem to do enough of that with everyone else on this boat. Just don't forget, we go back further than these folks. *

I ain't forgetting. Hell I brought you here, to get you out from under Mallory's thumb.

Sky: I wasn't under his thumb. He supplied good jobs.

Only thing he was suppling you was a ticket to a box in a Fed prison, or maybe worse. Listen you are one of the best thief's I've ever seen, but the risk he had you taking. It was dangerous, he's dangerous.

*Sky: So you drag me out here. I've been in more tight spots since signing up here than I ever was with him.*

*Ouch* I just wanted a different life. Thought you might as well.

*Sky: This ain't that different Colt, and I don't think it ever will be. It's not the life Colt, its you. Look at these skittle brains you surround yourself with. I always thought you had a soft spot in your heart for certain types. Now I'm thinking the soft spot is between your ears. *

You might be right. But it was that same soft spot that I have for you. It's why I want you here. I can do this alone, you know that. Theres been years that we don't so much as wave each other. But I'd rather not. So what do you say?
*I offer up a completley burned fluff ball*

*Sky: Any chance you'll be paying me something more that burnt food in the future?*

I'll see what I can do. Wouldn't be a call for all this if you hadn't triggered that alarm.

*I throw my arm around her shoulder and we go sit by the fire *

Captain, your tension is a mite fierce! Too much can cause heavy neck and back pain. You'll go through a series of prodrome and then suffer the auras and sensory disturbances which can soon enough result in Hemicrania Continua!

*Just continues to dance despite her rambling. Starts to clap her hands and watches as Sky stands there. She takes Sky's hand and spins her around in a circle*

Sky: Captain, I told you, you picked up a nut.

*Brit just giggles and continues to dance around the fire*

Colt: *to sky* Well, I did pick you.
