Episode 002 Part 010

Prelude:

The treetops sway slightly, as the shuttle moves slowly over them. Inside, Soren and Naal work the controls to keep the shuttle steady and straight, since most of the automated functions have been locked out by Tam.

Skulonn sits near Tam, who is still unconscious and not doing very well. It's all Skulonn can do to keep him stable. Meanwhile, Seldon Wade mans the scanners and is picking up a faint, but familiar signal. The signal is that given off by the comms worn by Olivia, Arani and Zarek.

The three on the ground spot the shuttle, as it heads towards them. They know the shuttle very well, but have no way of knowing who is at the helm. Given the way it is flying, it is even harder to know. The only chance they might have is to try to contact the shuttle and hope for the best.

However, unknown to the trio, they are being watched from beyond the clearing.

%$%$% BEGIN EPISODE 002 PART 010 %$%$%

<Seldon Wade> ::looks up from the scanner:: Soren: I'm picking up signals belonging to Maverick comms down there! How could that be?
<Soren> :: shrugs:: Maybe they took out the other enemy ship. :: keeps helping Naal fly:: Try and get a hold of them.
<Naal>::nods and makes the attempt to contact the trio below::
<Seldon Wade> Soren: Even if that were possible, they would have to take the ship through the nebula. We had trouble with this tiny shuttle. Imagine a ship that size.
<Soren> :: shrugs again:: Who cares how they did it?
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: checks Tam again:: Does your ship have a medical bay?
<Seldon Wade> ::frustrated as he tries to figure out how they survived such a trip, shrugs and returns to scans::
<Soren> :: shakes his head to Skull:: No we don't. But we do have medical supplies on hand.
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: nods:: I guess that will have to do.

ACTION:: All three comms get a signal from the shuttle... a beeping noise telling the wearers that there's an incoming signal::

<Olivia_Brahn> ::looks down at her comm then at the others as the comm beeps:: Arani: Yours too??
<Arani_Chianna> ::nods:: Olivia: Yep
<Olivia_Brahn> ::hits the button:: [Brahn-Unknown]: Brahn here.
<Naal>[Doon-Brahn]: Brahn, this is Naal Doon. We have Tam and Seldon Wade. The only problem is, Tam is hurt badly. Is the ship anywhere near here?
<Olivia_Brahn> *Doon*: Yes, it's just over the ridge to the east. Can you pick us up? I'll show you where it is...
<Naal>::nods to Soren:: Soren: Take us down just over there. *Brahn*: We're coming down.
<Soren> :: turns the shuttle towards the signal::

ACTION:: The shuttle lands, a lot less hard than it did when Naal was piloting it on her own. As it sets down, the underbrush around the clearing begins to shake::

<Olivia_Brahn> ::stands back to let the shuttle land::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: moves to open the hatch::
<Olivia_Brahn> ::watches as the hatch lowers and someone unfamiliar is behind the door. She hesitates and keeps her distance:: Skul: Who are you? Where's Tam?
<Arani_Chianna> ::sees the stranger and raises her blaster::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: frowns:: He has been injured. :: motions for Seldon to step forward::
<Seldon Wade> ::looks back just in time to see Skulonn motion to him, then moves to the hatch:: All: Hurry. We don't have time. Tam needs medical attention and your ship is the quickest way to get it for him.
<Olivia_Brahn> ::moves toward the hatch, glancing uneasily at the others as she climbs in:: Wade: Where is Doon & Soren?
<Seldon Wade> ::nods towards the pilot's seats::
<Soren> :: raises a hand and calls back:: We're here.
<Arani_Chianna> ::follows Olivia into the shuttle, smiling as she sees Soren::

ACTION:: Soon after the trio begins to climb into the hatch, projectiles begin to hit the shuttle's hull once again. One projectile slams into Seldon's right shoulder and throws him back into his seat::

<Naal>::without looking back she waves her arm nonchalantly and motions for Soren to get going again:: Skul: Close the hatch!!
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: pulls anyone else left outside, into the shuttle and punches the button to close the hatch::
<Soren> :: starts to lift off again::
<Naal>::looks back over her shoulder and scowls:: All: Damn! That makes two injured, I really don't like this planet anymore...

ACTION:: The hatch closes before more projectiles can make it inside, as the shuttle lifts off the ground::

<Skulonn_Vorc> :: moves to help Seldon::
<Olivia_Brahn> ::makes her way over to Tam. She pats his face gently:: Tam: Tam? Can you hear me?
<Arani_Chianna> Olivia: See? Bad bad idea to be here to begin with.. I tried to say so..
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: looks over to Olivia:: He is unconscious. I did as much as I could for him with the supplies I had on hand.
<Seldon Wade> ::grimaces as he puts his hand on the projectile to pull it out::
<Olivia_Brahn> ::frowns and looks up at Skul:: Skul: What happened to him?
<Seldon Wade> ::gasps in pain and lets go, since it's in too far for him to do anything::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: pushes Seldon's hand away, looking the projectile over:: Olivia: He was shot.
<Arani_Chianna> ::looks over at Seldon:: Soren: Shot? What is that?
<Olivia_Brahn> ::looks really worried now as she gets up and heads for the c0ckpit to hurry things along:: Soren: Just up here... just beyond that ridge. She's set down in a clearing among the rocks.
<Soren> :: motions to the controls:: Maybe you should take over. You're better than I am at this. :: smiles::
<Olivia_Brahn> ::scowls slightly and motions for him to get up and let her sit. Once he does, she takes the seat, trying not to let Naal's presence disturb her from her job::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: frowns:: Seldon: This is going to hurt.. :: checks through his medkit for something to dull the pain::
<Seldon Wade> ::wimpers a bit, which looks strange for a man of his size::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: doesn't find anything and pulls Tam's pistol from it's holster, setting it to stun and firing at Seldon:: That should make it less painful.
<Arani_Chianna> ::eases herself into a chair, wincing and sighing as she finally gets the weight off that ankle::
<Seldon Wade> ::shakes a bit before slumping in the seat::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: frowns and takes hold of the projectile:: Someone come brace his shoulder.

ACTION:: The shuttle loses some altitude during the exchange of pilots, but it's easily recovered, as Olivia takes control::

<Olivia_Brahn> ::takes over the controls and works to steady the ship as she flies it over the ridge toward Maverick::
<Arani_Chianna> Skul: Don't look at me. I don't plan to get out of this seat and walk again til I have to
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: frowns, shaking his head::
<Soren> :: moves over to take hold of Seldon's shoulder:: Ready.
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: checks the projectile once more, then pulls it sharply::

ACTION:: The projectile gives some resistance at first, but eventually comes out, dripping in blood::

<Skulonn_Vorc> :: puts the projectile away, grabbing a handful of bandages and holding them against the wound::
<Olivia_Brahn> ::swears on the lockout but manages to fly the shuttle fine. She brings the shuttle downward as she approaches Maverick::

ACTION:: As Olivia brings the shuttle near where Maverick is, she notices that the rocks are much closer to the ship than she remembers, and that there is no place to put the shuttle down near it::

<Olivia_Brahn> ::sighs and looks back at Soren:: Soren: You think you can fly this thing over the Maverick so I can get into it's top hatch?
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: has Soren hold the bandages against the wound as he checks his medkit for something to close the wound with::
<Soren> :: looks up:: As soon as I'm done playing nurse.
<Olivia_Brahn> ::scowls and glances at Naal:: Naal: What about you? Think you can manage?
<Naal>::smirks wryly:: Brahn: If you can do it, I can.
<Olivia_Brahn> ::nods:: Naal: Fine then take over. Hover the shuttle just above Maverick so I can jump down.
<Naal>:: blinks:: Brahn: You're crazy if you think I can fly that accurately!
<Olivia_Brahn> :: blinks:: Doon: You just told me you could! All you have to do is cut back on the thrust and hold her there with this. it's so easy, even YOU could do it....::gets up before her temper causes her to shoot Naal::
<Arani_Chianna> ::smirks as she listens to Olivia and Naal::
<Olivia_Brahn> ::goes to the hatch and waits for Naal to bring the shuttle down::
<Naal>::makes a face at Olivia's back and mutters something about hotshot pilots who think they know it all::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: rifles through his medpak hurriedly, finding a hypospray charge filled with coagulant, taking it out to inject it into the wound:: Move the bandages when I say. :: gets ready:: Now.
<Soren> :: does as instructed::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: holds the bandages against the wound, waiting to see if the coagulants do their job::
<Arani_Chianna> ::looks at the blood all over and mutters:: Guess now we know why no one ever comes back..

ACTION:: Less blood seeps from Seldon's wound, and he seems to be stablizing a bit, but he's lost a lot of blood already::

<Skulonn_Vorc> :: retrieves the cauterizer and closes up the wound for now:: We really need to get these two inside your ship so I can hopefully treat them properly.
<Naal>:: brings the shuttle to about 10 feet above the Maverick::
<Olivia_Brahn> ::opens the hatch and looks down:: Naal: Are you crazy! I could break my leg at this height! Take me down lower
<Naal> Brahn: I told you I wasn't very good at this... I could risk crashing the shuttle if I take you lower...
<Arani_Chianna> Naal/Olivia: I think mine's already broken. If I jump, will ya stop your bickering?
<Olivia_Brahn> ::rolls her eyes and stomps over to the controls, taking the shuttle easily another 5 feet down cutting the distance in half:: Naal: Happy now? Hold here there... ::growls::
<Naal>::smiles:: Brahn: Oh so THAT's how you do that... :: pretending to be amazed::
<Arani_Chianna> ::rolls her eyes:: I'm about to jump just so I don't have to listen to it anymore
<Olivia_Brahn> ::glances at Arani and speaks low:: Arani: Thanks, but I need to get Maverick up so the dimwit at the controls can fly her in....
<Olivia_Brahn> ::glances down at the Maverick and jumps to her roof. Since the distance isn't that far now, she quickly scrambles to the hatch
  and opens it, climbing inside and making for the flight deck::
<Naal>::looks back at Arani:: Arani: Is she this annoying ALL the time? ::jerks her head toward the open hatch::
<Arani_Chianna> ::smirks:: Naal: She's having guy troubles lately
<Naal>:: blinks:: Arani: Really?...::looks back at Tam then at Arani:: Ahh... no wonder she looked so worried about him....
<Soren> :: looks up, smirking:: Actually dear, I think Arani is referring to me.
<Olivia_Brahn> ::quickly plops down in the pilot's seat and powers up the Maverick, waiting for all the controls to come online::
<Arani_Chianna> ::laughs:: Naal: Olivia doesn't understand Soren's nature. ::shrugs::
<Naal>::smirks wryly, enjoying hearing about this:: Arani/Soren: Poor girl... she's a little green huh?
<Soren> :: nods::
<Arani_Chianna> ::giggles:: Naal: I suppose you could say that.. ::stretches her swolllen ankle and winces::

ACTION:: Maverick powers up quickly, and soon Olivia has the ship ready to lift off::

<Olivia_Brahn> ::lifts the Maverick off the ground and comms the shuttle:: [Brahn - Doon]: Alright, I'm lifting off now... think you can pilot the shuttle into the shuttle bay? ::opens the shuttlebay doors as she lifts Maverick off the ground and faces the shuttlebay toward the shuttle::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: tells Soren to keep an eye on Seldon as he spots Arani wincing:: Are you injured also?
<Arani_Chianna> ::shrugs:: Skul: I twisted my ankle is all
<Soren> :: leans Seldon against the shuttle wall and moves to help Naal pilot the shuttle again::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: nods:: Would you like me to check and make sure?

ACTION:: As Olivia lifts off, the short distance between the shuttle and the ship is closed quickly, causing a bump to the shuttle::

<Olivia_Brahn> [Doon-Brahn]: Watch it hot shot! I don't think you're boss will be too happy with you scratching the paint on his ships...
<Arani_Chianna> ::winces as the shuttle bumps and shrugs again:: Skul: Sure.. but only if you don't need to keep a close watch on the others
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: nods and lifts her leg, feeling her ankle::
<Arani_Chianna> :: bites her lower lip::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: is as gentle as possible, being a medic, as he checks her ankle:: <Skulonn_Vorc> :: sets her ankle down again:: Just a sprain. I'll give you something for it once we get aboard if you like. :: smiles up at her::
<Arani_Chianna> ::smiles back at him:: Skul: All right. I suppose I'll live until then. Or at least I hope I will... ::glances at where the projectile was set aside::

ACTION:: The shuttle bay doors slide apart and stop, not quite far enough for the shuttle to fit. A flashing light on Olivia's console indicates the problem::

<Olivia_Brahn> Doon: Oh shut up you Frelling #%#$^&#&%$ !!!! [Brahn-Doon]: Thanks for the warning.... ::said through gritted teeth, then sees the doors:: Self: Aww damn! Not now! ::tries to close them, then open them again::

ACTION:: The doors begin to shut, but stop short of shutting all the way. Unknown to Olivia, sparks are flying in the shuttlebay::

<Olivia_Brahn> ::sighs:: [Doon]: Bad news. The shuttle doors won't open. We're going to have to land somewhere and get them in manually... follow me.
<Naal>Soren: You want to fly? I don't think she likes it when i do.... ::smirks::
<Soren> :: laughs::

Part 011

Episode 002 Part 011

Prelude:

Maverick is off the ground, just above the rocky terrain. The shuttle is now positioned directly over Maverick, waiting. Of course there is a good reason for that. The shuttlebay doors are not working.

Olivia is at Maverick's controls, while the rest are still aboard the shuttle. Tam and Seldon are currently unconscious, due to medical needs. The rest seem to be fine, so far.

%$%$% BEGIN EPISODE 002 PART 011 %$%$%

<Skulonn_Vorc> :: checks on Seldon's shoulder again::
<Soren> :: tries to keep the shuttle steady::
<Olivia_Brahn> :: pilots the Maverick to a large open space where both ships can land next to each other::
<Olivia_Brahn> [Mav-shuttle]: Follow me..

ACTION:: The closest area for both ships to land is over the ridge again. If that isn't desirable, they could move several hundred kilometers into the desert to find an open spot::

<Olivia_Brahn> ::heads for the spot where the shuttle originally was::
<Naal>Soren: Where does she think she's going? That's where we got attacked!
<Soren> :: shrugs:: Ask her.
<Naal>[Brahn]: I hope you don't plan on landing down there...
<Olivia_Brahn> ::scowls:: Doon: I had planned on it, but if miss smarty pants has a better idea, I've LOVE to hear it....
<Soren> :: frowns and takes the comm:: [Brahn]: I suggest we just stay afloat and pass Zarek over to you to fix the doors without setting down.
<Naal>::grins:: [Brahn]: Well, how would I know what better ideas you had.... anyway... that's the reason why we got in this mess in the first place... you're better off hitting someplace in the open...
<Olivia_Brahn> ::grits her teeth and opens her mouth to retort, but Soren's suggestion isn't a bad one:: [Soren]: Alright... I'll move under you and you can let him jump down.
<Soren> :: nods and holds the shuttle steady again:: Zarek, get moving.
<Zarek> ::raises an eyebrow:: Soren: You want me to jump out of a moving craft and into another?
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: moves to check on Tam again::
<Soren> :: smirks back at him:: Olivia just did it a few minutes ago. You scared?
<Olivia_Brahn> ::turns the Maverick and positions her under the shuttle so Zarek won't have far to jump to the hatch on the roof::
<Zarek> Soren: No, I just don't want to part from such lovely company. ::turns and heads out to whichever ventral hatch he needs to jump out of::

ACTION:: Though they are doing their best to keep both ships steady to each other, the shifting of Maverick below the shuttle is quite visible::

<Soren> :: fights to keep the shuttle steady::
<Zarek> ::opens up the hatch and looks down at the top of Maverick:: Okay...no problem...I saw this in a holovid once... ::takes a deep breath and then drops out of the hatch::

ACTION:: Zarek hits Maverick's hull just right::

<Olivia_Brahn> ::hears the thud of zarek hitting the ship up above and smiles, trying to keep it steady while he climbs inside:: *Zarek*: Zarek? You okay??
<Zarek> ::winces at the impact, and takes a moment to gather himself before he climbs inside and shuts the hatch behind him:: *Olivia* Aside from the fact that I just fell on a ship moving at an insane velocity, yes, I'm fine. How are you?
<Olivia_Brahn> ::smiles::*Zarek*: Fun isn't it? how long do you think it will take to open those doors all the way?
<Zarek> *Olivia* Not sure, let me take a look first... ::scampers down to the shuttle bay, making sure to stop to pick up his tools first. When he gets there and sees all the smoke, sparkage and burns, and smells the smell of...whatever horrible smell that is, he lets out a curse:: *Olivia* Um...I might be a while.
<Olivia_Brahn> ::sighs:: *Zarek*: How long is a while? A half hour? An hour? Because if this is gonna take a while, we'd better land...
<Zarek> *Olivia* Something like that, maybe...but you should land anyway. I'd rather not try to work on those doors while we're airborne.
<Olivia_Brahn> *Zarek*: can't say as I blame you there... I didn't realize how much damage there actually was....[brahn-Soren]: Follow me... we're landing... the doors are too far gone to be done in a hurry.... ::heads the Maverick toward the beach::
<Soren> :: frowns but follows, not wanting to meet up with those natives again::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: speaks up:: Could we not just all move to the ship once we land and simply leave the shuttle?

ACTION:: There a series of cliffs along the ocean, and beaches mixted between those cliffs. One of the beaches is barely large enough for Maverick to fit. The shuttle would have room once Maverick set down::

<Soren> :: flips on the comm again:: [Brahn]: Hey Olivia, the new guy asked why we don't just all move to Mav once we both set down and just leave the shuttle behind.
<Olivia_Brahn> ::sets down on the beach and leaves enough room for the shuttle:: [Soren]: Right now, that's not an option since the shuttle belongs to Maverick...
<Soren> :: sets down next to Mav, looking over at Naal:: Ok..
<Zarek> *Olivia* Okay, I'll get right to work. I'll keep you posted. ::moves to the doors, looks them over, shakes his head, and then starts in::

ACTION:: Zarek finds, upon inspection, that both drive motors are overstressed, but not burnt out. The control relays are burned to a crips though. Some of the other relays near the control relays are also damaged::

<Naal>::looks to him questioningly:: Soren: Okay.. what?
<Soren> :: smirks:: Brahn, just because the shuttle came from Mav isn't really a reason not to leave it. I mean we still have the other one afterall.
<Zarek> ::frowns:: *Olivia* What a mess...I'll try to get this done as quickly as possible. ::starts removing the destroyed and damaged relays::
<Olivia_Brahn> :: powers down Maverick and heads for the main hatch to help with the injured once the shuttle lands::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: picks up one end of the stretcher he slapped together for Tam:: Someone please grab the other end of this.
<Zarek> ::works as fast as he can, quickly taking out the relays that no longer work and going to pick up some fresh ones::
<Skulonn_Vorc> <Soren> :: motions to Seldon:: Naal: Give him a hand. I'll help the new guy with Tam. :: moves to grab the other end of the stretcher::
<Zarek> ::hurries back and slots in the new relays and then frowns at all the burnt wiring, which he starts fiddling with. He yelps and pulls his hand back as one of them pops and shoots out a spark or two, glaring at the wire as he shakes his hand::
<Naal>::nods and heads over to help Seldon::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: punches the button to open the hatch, starting out and towards Mav::
<Naal>::grunts under Seldon's weight::
<Naal>:: decides she can't carry him on her own and sits next to him::*Soren*: I'll stay here until you get Tam settled... bring back the stretcher and I'll help you lift this guy over ::closes the hatch once the others have gone::
<Zarek> ::finishes pulling out the wires that he can't use and rewiring the ones that are still good so that everything will work, then starts fiddling with the drive motors::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: keeps moving towards Mav, keeping an eye out for Olivia to show him which hatch to take Tam in through::
<Olivia_Brahn> ::meets Soren and Skull at the door with Tam and quickly motions them inside::
<Soren> :: hands the other end of the stretcher off to Olivia and hurries back for Naal and Seldon::
<Zarek> Hmm... ::stands up after a few moments and moves to test the doors, hoping they'll cooperate::

ACTION:: The shuttle bay doors close very slowly and come to a stop when they meet. When Zarek goes to open the doors again, nothing happens for a few seconds, and then they begin to move, even slower than they closed::

<Zarek> ::winces:: *Olivia* Well, they're opening and closing again, but the drive motors are pretty messed up right now. We need to refrain from using them for a while to give them a chance to rest...
<Olivia_Brahn> *Zarek*: Rest? It's a machine, Zarek... ::snickers::
<Zarek> *Olivia* Hey, machines are people, too! :: blink:: Uh...I mean, sometimes they get overworked, too, and need to cool down.
<Olivia_Brahn> :: brings Tam to one of the cargo holds with Skul:: Skul: I've brought down the med supplies...::motions to them:: help yourself.... ::looks at the unconscious Tam and genuinely hopes he pulls through::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: nods, setting Tam down in a relatively clean and out of the way location, before moving to check the supplies:: Olivia: These should do nicely. :: smiles::
<Soren> :: gets back to Naal:: Naal: Do you think we should just go ahead to the ship? Or should one of us stay in the shuttle to fly her in once the doors are fixed?
<Olivia_Brahn> ::nods and goes off to show Soren and the other chick where to take Seldon::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: gathers up some of the med supplies and moves back to Tam, spreading them out as he starts working on him again::
<Naal>Soren: If we power her down and seal the doors, then she'll be alright until the doors are fixed. I can't lift this guy myself... where's the stretcher I asked you to bring back?
<Soren> Naal: The new guy kept Tam on it. I can probably manage this guy on my own. If you want to stay with the shuttle. If not we can both manage him easily enough. :: smiles::
<Zarek> ::once he's satisfied that he's done as much as he can here, he packs up and goes to check on the hold doors:: My work is never done...
<Naal>::nods:: Soren: I'd rather come with you... ::opens the hatch for him::
<Soren> :: nods and gives her a quick kiss, before hefting Seldon:: Glad to hear it. :: smiles and starts off towards Maverick::

ACTION:: Zarek checks the other hold doors, over time, and finds they both are working fine. Meanwhile, unknown to those on the beach, the clifftop is lined with natives, watching their every move::

Part 012

Episode 002 Part 012

Prelude:

The forest flows below and comes to an abrupt end at a cliff's edge. Along the edge are natives, no longer invisible, looking down on a beach a hundred meters below them. On the beach is a ship and a shuttle. Two people, carrying another, leave the shuttle, heading for the ship, and one person leaves the ship, heading for the shuttle.

Meanwhile, inside Maverick, Arani is freshening up, Zarek is finishing his tests on the cargo doors, and Skulonn is tending to Tam so that he can be moved somewhere else in the ship.

%$%$% BEGIN EPISODE 002 Part 012 %$%$%

<Zarek> ::now that he's satisfied with the doors, Zarek puts everything back in place and then leaves to go put his tools away::
<Zarek> ::finishes putting his tools away and then ducks into his cabin to clean up real quick::

<Arani_Chianna> ::finishes dressing in clean clothes and limps out of her room and down the corridor toward the stairs to the main cargo hold::

<Soren> :: hefts Seldon, carrying him back to Maverick::
<Olivia_Brahn> ::leads Soren and the other chick back to Maverick and into the spot where Tam is. She intentionally keeps ahead of them so she doesn't have to look at them::
<Soren> :: climbs inside, lying Seldon down near Tam and Skulonn::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: finishes applying some bacta to Tam's wound and moves over to check on Seldon again, now that he has better equipment::

ACTION:: The natives along the cliff edge disappear again::

<Arani_Chianna> ::enters the main hold and smiles at Skulonn:: Skul: How is he?
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: looks up:: Which one?
<Arani_Chianna> ::smiles again:: Skul: Both.. though I admit to being mostly interested in Tam. I barely know Seldon.
<Naal>::looks at Skull:: Skul: Anything I can do?
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: nods:: They are both stable, for now. I'll be able to give you a more detailed answer in a little while. :: looks to Naal:: A better place to work would be nice. If you can find one. :: smiles to her and Arani before looking back to Seldon::
<Naal>::looks a little uneasy:: Skul: Err... I was hoping you wouldn't say that... I don't know this ship very well... ::smiles at Soren:: Think you can help me out?
<Soren> :: smiles back to her:: Naal: I'm sure the two of us can find someplace.
<Olivia_Brahn> *Zarek*: How are those shuttle doors coming? ::looks back at Naal & Soren and gags behind their backs as she waits for Zarek's reply::
<Arani_Chianna> ::raises an eyebrow:: Soren: A place to put Tam and Seldon, not a place to sneak away from the rest of us and spend a few hours.
<Soren> :: grins to Arani:: That's hurts love. To imply we were thinking of anything besides helping Tam and Seldon.
<Zarek> ::surprised, he slips and almost falls in his shower. Eventually he manages to regain his footing, step out of the shower, grab a towel, and reach the comm panel in his room:: *Olivia* What??
<Arani_Chianna> ::grins:: Soren: Sorry if the truth hurts. I just know ya way to well.
<Olivia_Brahn> *Zarek*: The shuttle doors? Did you get them fixed? I'm kind of waiting to bring the shuttle on board so we can get out of here
<Soren> :: smirks to her, listing to Olivia's conversation with Zarek::

<Zarek> :: blinks, trying to think:: *Olivia* Oh! Yeah, the doors. Well, they seem to be working, but the drive motors on the shuttle bay doors still aren't at 100%, so I'd go easy on them if I were you. The cargo hold doors are fine, though.

<Olivia_Brahn> *Zarek*: Fine, I'll bring the shuttle in here for now.... ::looks around the cargobay making sure there is enough room::
<Soren> :: turns to Naal:: Naal: Shall we go look for that work area for the good doctor?

<Zarek> *Olivia* Right, sure, great. Have fun with that. Call me if anything explodes. ::goes to dry off and get dressed::

<Naal>::smiles devilishly:: Soren: Of course... and once we get that done, maybe we can sneak off anyway...
<Olivia_Brahn> ::turns to Soren and Naal:: Naal: Hang on... I need you to go and fly the shuttle in here.... unless Soren wants to...
<Soren> :: looks to Olivia:: I thought you just told Zarek you were going to bring the shuttle in?
<Olivia_Brahn> ::shakes her head:: Soren: I want to be airborne for that, then we can fly out of here..
<Naal>::rolls her eyes and mutters:: Self: Geez, make up your frelling mind
<Soren> :: nods:: Fine with me. I was just going on the way you worded it. :: smiles sincerely, then turns to Naal:: Naal: Let's go grab that shuttle.
<Arani_Chianna> Skul: I'll find you a room.. ::heads off to peek into empty rooms, trying to find a good one, near to the medical supplies::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: nods too Arani with a smile:: Thank you. :: looks back to his patients::
<Olivia_Brahn> ::scowls at the love birds and rolls her eyes as she looks gratefully at Arani:: Arani: Thanks... ::heads off to the flight deck::
<Naal>::smiles:: Soren: Do we have to get off right away once we're back?
<Soren> :: laughs, stepping close and lowering his voice:: Not unless we're needed. :: grins and heads back outside::
<Naal>::slips her hands around his waist and kisses his neck fondly as they head outside:: Soren: I don't think we will be... not if I can help it... little miss hotpants can manage for a while...
<Soren> :: smirks:: That she can.. :: heads towards the shuttle::

ACTION:: Just before Soren and Naal reach the shuttle, they seem to disappear suddenly::

<Arani_Chianna> :: peeks into more empty rooms, lookin for the perfect one::
<Arani_Chianna> ::keeps looking for a room, mumbling under her breath about how it's like she's not even visible anymore.. then wondering why it bothers her::

<Olivia_Brahn> ::climbs the flight of stairs to the flight deck and plops herself down in the chair, powering up Maverick again::
<Olivia_Brahn> ::waits a few moments then comms the shuttle:: [Soren]: Alright, I'm lifting off now... follow me and we'll open the cargobay doors...

ACTION:: Olivia gets no answer from the shuttle::

<Olivia_Brahn> ::lifts the ship off from the ground and waits for the reply:: Self: That's strange....
<Olivia_Brahn> *Soren*: Soren, are you on the shuttle yet? This is no time to drag your latest fling into the bushes for a quickie! ::runs some scans and blinks at the results:: What the...?
<Olivia_Brahn> ::isn't quite sure what to do as Naal & Soren have seemed to have disappeared::
<Olivia_Brahn> :: debates bringing the shuttle in herself, but doesn't want to risk the same fate and decides to leave now while she still can. Proceeds to fly the ship away from the beach::

ACTION:: As Maverick lifts off, projectives ping off the hull, but do no damage. The ship then moves on, through the atmosphere and into open space. The glow of the nebula fills the viewport::

<Zarek> ::hops around his room as he tries to pull on his boots, then grabs a shirt and pulls it over his head as he steps out of his room, heading down the hall::
<Zarek> ::eventually notices Arani looking through random rooms for some strange reason:: Arani: Hey there. Looking for something?
<Arani_Chianna> ::tries to quickly hide the depressing look on her face with a smile:: Zarek: I'm looking for someplace for Skulonn to put Tam and Seldon.
<Zarek> ::nods slowly:: Arani: Okay...any luck?
<Arani_Chianna> Zarek: Not yet. I was looking for somewhere empty to make into a med bay. ::shrugs:: They'd be comfortable in their cabins for now I'm sure, but we could use a med bay sooner rather than later.
<Zarek> Arani: Well, if that Skulonn fellow intends on sticking around, I'm sure we'll have one up fairly soon. Speaking of which, how's your ankle?
<Arani_Chianna> ::shrugs:: Zarek: Still sore, but Skulonn says I just twisted it and it should be fine in a few days.
<Zarek> Arani: That's good to hear, it looked pretty bad... ::feels the ship moving and looks up:: We're leaving already?
<Arani_Chianna> ::shrugs:: Zarek: It felt pretty bad too.. thanks for helping me through the woods.. ::frowns in thought for a second:: Hey.. I didn't hear the shuttle, did you?
<Zarek> ::shakes his head:: Arani: Nope. Maybe we should go see what's going on. ::offers her an arm so she doesn't have to put as much weight on her ankle::

<Olivia_Brahn> ::remains pretty quiet as she heads for the Nebula:: *Zarek*: I'm placing you on standby Zarek... we've got to head into that nebula again.....

<Arani_Chianna> ::smiles at him, grateful for his thoughtfulness:: Zarek: You sure you're not planning to help me into some dark corner? Seems Olivia might object if you went missing right now.

<Olivia_Brahn> ::takes the ship to half thrusters and begins to manuever her way toward the nebula:: *All*: We're heading to the nebula, it may get a little rough. I just thought I'd warn you...

<Zarek> ::grins as they head toward the flight deck, then smirks as he hears Olivia's message:: Arani: Maybe some other time. ::helps her up onto the flight deck:: Olivia: Standby for what? Just don't let the ship get hit by anything and we'll be fine, right?
<Olivia_Brahn> Zarek: err... yeah... something like that....
<Olivia_Brahn> ::shifts to full thrusters and pilots the ship just like she's used to doing:: *Skul*: How is Tam doing?

<Skulonn_Vorc> :: looks for a way to secure Tam and Seldon to the floor, hearing Olivia's message about the bumpy ride::

<Arani_Chianna> Zarek: Maybe we ought to help Skul move Tam and Seldon before we get to the nebula.
<Zarek> ::nods:: Arani: We can't really do much up here... ::looks to Olivia:: Olivia: Buzz us if something happens, we'll be helping Skulonn. ::helps Arani off the deck and they start making their way to Skulonn::
<Arani_Chianna> ::grins up at him as they walk:: Zarek: Come to think of it.. you do know all the dark corners..
<Zarek> ::smiles:: Arani: Trust me, there are plenty of good ones.
<Arani_Chianna> ::laughs:: Zarek: I guess you'll have to show me..
<Olivia_Brahn> ::nods at Zarek and Arani as they leave. She feels a little guilty about leaving the shuttle behind, but given the circumstances... she's sure that Tam will be okay about it::

<Zarek> ::finally, they arrive down in the hold where Skulonn is:: Skulonn: Looks like you need some help moving these two to somewhere more secure...
<Arani_Chianna> ::looks around the hold, frowning:: Skulonn: Where's the shuttle?
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: shrugs:: I have been busy with thes two. :: nods to Zarek:: I have one stretcher fashioned.
<Arani_Chianna> ::shrugs and figures they must have flown it into the forward hold, seeing as how there's more room there::
<Zarek> Skulonn: We should probably move Seldon first. We have to drag him up two flights of stairs, though... ::he obviously isn't very excited about that::
<Arani_Chianna> Skulonn: We'll have to put them in their rooms. Until we get a real medbay in here, it's likely the best place.
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: nods:: We will have to move them one at a time. And I suggest we move Tam first. As the other's injuries are less severe. :: crouches to move Tam back onto the stretcher::
<Zarek> ::shrug:: Skulonn: You're the expert... ::steps away from Arani and moves to help Skulonn::
<Arani_Chianna> Both: I'll go ahead and get everything ready. ::heads for Tam's quarters::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: calls to her:: Wait. Please stay with the other patient. Make sure nothing happens to him.
<Arani_Chianna> ::shrugs and turns back:: Skulonn: All right. Zarek can show you the way.
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: nods to her with a smile:: Thank you miss. :: lifts one end of the stretcher::
<Zarek> Skulonn: It's not far... ::lifts the other end and starts walking backwards, letting out a grunt:: Whoa, Boss! You need to lay off the snack foods...
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: moves with Zarek::
<Arani_Chianna> ::laughs at Zarek's comment, kneeling next to Seldon to check on him::
<Zarek> ::leads Skulonn out of the bay and up the stairs, then up some more stairs, to Tam's cabin::

<Olivia_Brahn> ::locks the course toward the nebula and heads down to help move the patients::
<Olivia_Brahn> ::heads down to the cargo hold and sees Arani:: Arani: Hey... I see they moved Tam already?
<Arani_Chianna> ::nods:: Olivia: They're taking him to his cabin. Skulonn asked me to watch over Seldon.
<Olivia_Brahn> ::nods:: Arani: How's Tam doing?
<Arani_Chianna> Olivia: Skulonn says they're both stable, but he'd be able to do a lot more with a medbay..
<Olivia_Brahn> ::smiles a little:: Arani: Good thing we found him, huh? We could use a medic around here...::nods at her:: Your ankle okay?
<Arani_Chianna> ::shrugs and nods:: Olivia: There's nothing he can do for that. I twisted it. He says it'll be all right in a few days.
<Olivia_Brahn> ::nods::

ACTION:: After much effort, both Tam and Seldon are in their respective cabins and secured to their bunks. Time has passed where Maverick is close to entering the nebula. Meanwhile, back on the planet, Soren and Naal are being studied, while unconscious, by the natives::

Part 013

Episode 002 Part 013

Prelude:

The various shades of the nebula's swirling blue and green fill the flight deck of Maverick. Occassional reddish-gold flashes show where the plasma bursts are, and the bright bluish-white zig-zag flashes tell where the ion bolts are. There is no way to predict when or where the next one will happen.

Below, Seldon is coming to, and a bit sore, but able to move around, thanks to Skulonn's work on his shoulder. Tam is still out cold, and likely to remain that way for some time. The rest are either on the flight deck or off doing something to their liking.

%$%$% BEGIN EPISODE 002 PART 013 %$%$%

<Olivia_Brahn> ::heads up to the flight deck mainly because she knows the nebula is near now. There's no way having the ship on auto can get them through safely. Then again, there's no way of knowing that having her at the helm won't get them killed either.... plops herself down in the pilot's seat and takes the ship off auto. Making a few course changes and getting ready to enter the nebula::

ACTION:: Maverick is only minutes away from entering the nebula. It seems the flashes are increasing, every second they get closer::

<Olivia_Brahn> ::tries to stay near the green and blue of the nebula::

ACTION:: As Olivia takes Maverick into the cloudy nebula, the ship shudders a bit, as plasma bursts explode nearby::

<Skulonn_Vorc> :: steps out of Tam's room, having just checked on him again, before heading to Seldon's::
<Seldon_Wade> ::cringes a bit as he sits up on his bunk, then looks around for some fresh clothes to put on::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: pushes the button to chime Seldon's door::
<Seldon_Wade> ::looks to the door:: Skull: Enter ::still sitting, covered with a blanket across his lap::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: opens the door and steps inside:: Hello, just came to see how you were recovering.
<Seldon_Wade> ::rubs his shoulder:: Skull: A bit sore, but I'll be fine. I supposed I have you to thank for my life. ::looks around:: How did I get here? I don't remember much, after getting shot.
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: nods:: We landed the shuttle near Maverick and brought you aboard. I treated you as much as I was able and then we moved both yourself and Mr. Sneed to your respective rooms.
<Seldon_Wade> ::looks over to Skull:: Skull: How is he? Will he live?
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: nods:: I believe so. But he hasn't woken yet.
<Olivia_Brahn> ::winces and tries to keep the ship steady:: *ALL*: In case you're wondering... we're entering the neubla now. Sit tight....
<Seldon_Wade> ::sighs:: Skull: It's all my fault. If I had just done as I was told, he would be fine. ::shakes his head:: What about the others?
<Seldon_Wade> ::hears Olivia's voice and grins, knowing she is fine.::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: frowns:: Apparently two people went missing just before we took off.
<Seldon_Wade> ::frowns:: Skull: Which two?
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: thinks for a moment:: Naal Doon, and the Falleen.
<Seldon_Wade> Skull: Soren? ::sighs and nods:: I guess Mr. Sneed got his wish afterall.
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: raises an eyebrow:: His wish?
<Seldon_Wade> ::looks into Skull's eyes:: Skull: Not a wish, per se, but he seemed to be growing tired of them. They didn't seem to be much for team playing, if you get my meaning.
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: nods:: One must always respect the chain of command, and think of the unit as a whole. If one wishes to remain alive and safe.

ACTION:: Maverick twists and turns in the nebula. An amateur pilot would be lost in the soup, but Olivia is managing to keep the course towards open space. Just fifteen more minutes of hell before they can break loose, though.::

<Arani_Chianna> ::sits on her bed, still angry about Olivia having left Soren behind... ignores the comm and just sits there::

ACTION:: Maverick shakes violently as the plasma bursts get a bit too close. Luckily, none of the ion streams have decided to ignite around them. Yet. ::

<Arani_Chianna> ::happened to be on her way to the bathroom when the ship shook, and falls, flopping down with her sore ankle under her and cursing loudly in her native language::

<Seldon_Wade> ::looks around:: Skull: The rest are fine, then? Umm, Arani and Zarek, I believe are their names.
<Seldon_Wade> ::holds tight to his bed, as the ship shakes::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: steadies himself against the wall and nods:: Yes, everyone else is fine, dispite a twisted ankle.
<Seldon_Wade> ::grins:: Skull: Perhaps it is a good thing your ship crash landed afterall. We wouldn't have such a good doctor to tend to our wounds. ::gets up and stagger to some clothes:: Hope you don't mind. ::starts getting dressed::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: nods and heads to the door:: Of course, let me know if you need anything else. :: leaves the room, heading to check on Arani::

<Olivia_Brahn> ::grits her teeth as she swerves to miss what looks like an plasma burst. She swears under her breath:: Self: That was too frelling close...

ACTION:: The plasma bursts subside, just a few minutes away from open space. As things smooth out, a sudden flash fills the flightdeck, almost blinding Olivia. An ion bolt hits Maverick, causing quite a few of the systems to go offline.::

<Olivia_Brahn> ::screams and covers her eyes from the flash. She removes her hands temporarily from the controls and feels the ship shake::
<Olivia_Brahn> Aloud: Aww Dren that!! :: blinks a few times to make sure she really hasn't been blinded and returns to the controls to figure out what's going on

<Seldon_Wade> ::finishes getting dressed, when the cabin lights go off:: Self: Now what? ::feels for the door::
<Seldon_Wade> ::feels the door and presses the button to open it, but nothing happens:: Self: To be expected, I guess. ::feels around for the com panel near the door and presses a button:: COM: Hello? I'm locked in my cabin. ::hears nothing::
<Seldon_Wade> ::turns and slides down the door, until he's sitting on the deck:: Self: Guess I'll have to wait to be rescued.
<Seldon_Wade> ::remembers where most of everything is from the door, and begins to crawl towards the bunk::
<Seldon_Wade> ::reaches his bunk and climbs onto it, then moves to the small nighttand type table and presses a button, noticing nothing happening:: Self: Not that too!
<Seldon_Wade> ::rolls over and lays down on his bunk:: Self: What's next?

<Arani_Chianna> ::stumbled up just before the bolt hit, of course falling again when it does::
<Arani_Chianna> ::grumbles in the dark, not having a good day::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: caught himself against a railing as the bolt hit, then continued onward::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: reaches Arani's door and knocks loudly::
<Arani_Chianna> ::calls out, not bothering to get up again, but crawling in the direction she thinks the door is:: Who's there?
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: calls back:: Skulonn, just came to check on your ankle, miss Chianna.
<Arani_Chianna> ::laughs:: Skul: I've got more work for you since I've just fallen twice, but I have to find the door first.. ::crawls in the direction of his voice::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: frowns:: Are the lights out in there?
<Arani_Chianna> Skul: Yes.. ::reaches the wall and feels for the door::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: taps on the door to give her something to follow::
<Arani_Chianna> ::reaches the door and feels up the side of it until she reaches the panel in the wall. She opens it and pulls the lever, smiling as the door opens and dim emergency lighting enters her room::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: smiles:: Nice job.
<Arani_Chianna> ::rolls off her knees and sits in the doorway on the floor:: Skul: Thanks, but it wasn't much to be proud of.. any idiot can find a wall and follow it.. ::shrugs::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: laughs and reaches down to offer her a hand up::
<Arani_Chianna> ::takes his hand and pulls herself up, putting very little weight on her ankle:: I'm sure I just twisted it again. I landed on it the first time I fell.
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: nods, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a glowrod, switching it on:: Would you like me to take another look at it?
<Arani_Chianna> ::shrugs:: Skul: Maybe that would be a good idea.
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: nods:: Would you be more comfortable sitting down?
<Arani_Chianna> ::nods:: Skul: I'd hate to lose my balance and fall on you.. ::grins::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: laughs and leads her back inside her room, using the light from the glowrod to sit her down on her bunk::
<Arani_Chianna> ::sits down with his help::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: hands her the glowrod:: Can you hold this for me? :: kneels down in front of her, lifting her leg to feel her ankle::
<Arani_Chianna> ::holds the glowrod::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: feels along her ankle:: Does it hurt here? :: presses on a spot lightly::
<Arani_Chianna> ::yelps:: Skul: Yes!
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: nods:: Do you mind if I take these off? :: motions to her shoe and sock::
<Arani_Chianna> ::shakes her head:: Skul: Go ahead.
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: nods and slips them off, reaching into a pouch on his belt and pulling out a roll of bandages:: This may hurt a tiny bit..
<Arani_Chianna> ::nods::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: positions her foot to align her ankle straight, then starts wrapping it tightly::
<Arani_Chianna> ::winces and bites her lip::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: wraps it quickly and expertly, securing it tight before slipping her sock and shoe back on:: There, that should help. But you may still want to be careful on it for a few days. And if the pain gets too bad let me know. :: smiles up at her::
<Arani_Chianna> ::nods:: Skul: I will. Thank you.

ACTION:: Zarek hustles around the ship, with a few bumps and bruises to show for it later. He begins working to restore the shield and engine power first::

<Olivia_Brahn> ::works to do what she can to get the propulsion back online, while Zarek is off somewhere hopefully doing the same::

ACTION:: A few more ion bolts flash past Maverick, but don't hit her, which is good luck for Zarek, since he is working on the shield generator. After a few minutes of work, he manages to get the shields back online, then moves to get the engines working again. Olivia can see open space peeking through the swirls of the nebula, but the maneuvering thrusters aren't getting them to it as fast as she may like::

<Olivia_Brahn> ::watches as the sheilds come back online thanks to Zarek's handy work. Tries flicking the thrusters in a futile attempt to give them more power:: Self: Come on would you.....

ACTION:: Zarek gets a little shock and then coms Olivia to not mess with the engines until he's done. ::

<Olivia_Brahn> ::winces:: Zarek: Sorry.... ::sighs and wants desperately to push the ship the rest of the way through the nebula... watches as space edges closer:: Self: With my luck, that ruddy ship will be waiting for me when I get out there....

ACTION:: Zarek is close to getting the engines working again. The generators that power them are a bit worn, due to the overloads they have taken on this trip, but they are not done for. He tweaks them gently here and there, and finally gets them where they will power the engines and most of the other systems on the ship. Zarek panels the generators again, before switching them on. It takes a moment before they come up to speed, and when they do, they seem to work as good as new. Lights flicker all over the ship, as they switch from emergency power to normal power::

<Seldon_Wade> :: blinks his eyes, as he adjusts from the dark, then tries the button again.:: Self: Ah, it works. ::watches the viewport in his cabin open for viewing, and sees the nebula still outside::
<Seldon_Wade> ::slides out of his bunk and moves to the door, opening it:: Self: Things are back to normal. :: ducks through the door and heads for the stairs::

<Olivia_Brahn> ::smiles as the power comes back on:: self: I'll have to thank Zarek later but for now.... ::gently gives the thrusters a little more power and excelerates to get out of the nebula quicker::

<Arani_Chianna> ::smiles as the lights come back on:: Skul: Much better
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: nods, looking up as the power comes back on::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: notices he's still on his knees and stands:: You should be back on your feet in no time. :: smiles::
<Arani_Chianna> ::nods at him:: Skul: And in the meantime? How much should I walk? I'll get bored in here all the time
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: thinks:: You can walk, just don't put too much pressure on that ankle. If you end up needing help to move about the ship just let me know. I would be glad to assist you.
<Arani_Chianna> ::raises an eyebrow:: Skul: Oh yeah?
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: nods:: Anything I can do to help. :: smiles::
<Arani_Chianna> ::smiles:: Skul: I think for now I'll stay here. I'm not so happy with Olivia, so I ought to stay off the flight deck..
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: raises an eyebrow:: Something wrong?
<Arani_Chianna> ::sighs:: Skul: Soren was my best friend.. and when he disappeared down there, she left him.. I miss him..
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: nods:: I am sorry.. But both of them seemed the types that could handle themselves quite well. I wouldn't consider them lost forever. :: smiles::
<Arani_Chianna> ::shrugs and frowns:: Skul: He may have been playing with Naal most of the time, but I'd like to believe he would have at least looked for me. Before we joined this crew, he was all I had..
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: nods:: It is always sad to be separated from a friend.
<Arani_Chianna> ::sighs and stares down at her hands in her lap:: Skul: Anyway.. I don't want to go to the flight deck right now, and I don't want to sit alone in the lounge. So I may as well stay here.. ::shrugs::
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: nods:: To tell the truth I'm not sure exactly what I should do at the moment. Mr. Sneed is still unconscious and there is little more I can do for him at this point. And everyone else is healthy. :: laughs::
<Arani_Chianna> ::smiles a little:: Skul: I wouldn't say the doctor being bored is a bad thing.
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: smirks:: Only because you aren't the doctor.
<Arani_Chianna> ::laughs:: Skul: Even though it keeps you busy, you can't enjoy seeing people hurt
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: nods:: I don't..
<Arani_Chianna> Skul: So in some way, you must be glad to be bored
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: nods:: I suppose that is true. But no being really enjoys having nothing to do.
<Arani_Chianna> ::nods:: Skul: Right..
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: sighs:: So what do you people do for fun on this ship?
<Arani_Chianna> ::laughs:: Skul: Fun? Well Zarek crawls around in tiny places.. the rest of us don't have many hobbies..
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: nods:: I see. :: heads for the door:: I guess I'll explore this wonderful ship then. Please comm me if you need anything. :: smiles again::
<Arani_Chianna> ::nods and smiles:: Skul: I will. Thank you
<Skulonn_Vorc> :: heads off to search the ship, all alone::

ACTION:: Zarek coms Olivia to try the engines, but to be gentle. He notices that Olivia didn't wait for his com, and heads off to check other systems. Meanwhile, Maverick bursts through the edge of the nebula with some shaking and shuddering, which goes away immediately.::

<Olivia_Brahn> ::lets out a sigh of relief as they are finally free and instantly sets a course for nearest possible spaceport::
<Seldon_Wade> ::gets to the flightdeck and takes a seat near Olivia:: Olivia: Great job, young lady. ::smiles to her::
<Olivia_Brahn> ::looks to him and smiles a little:: Seldon: Thanks.... of course it helps when you have a mechanic at your beckon call
<Seldon_Wade> ::looks out at the stars:: Olivia: You both saved us. So, where are you going now?
<Olivia_Brahn> ::shrugs slightly:: Seldon: normally tam would tell me that, but since he's not able to talk, i think I'm going to head for the nearest space port to replenish our supplies. Did you have somewhere where you needed to be?
<Seldon_Wade> ::nods:: Olivia: I need to get my findings back to Mon Cal, as soon as possible. There are bad people who want it and I don't want them to get their hands on it.
<Olivia_Brahn> ::shrugs and nods:: Seldon: Okay... i'll take you there then.... ::changes course and waits as the computer prepares for hyperdrive::
<Seldon_Wade> ::nods:: Olivia: You are the pilot and I'm not Mr. Sneed. I can't give you orders.
<Olivia_Brahn> ::smiles:: Seldon: You didn't... you just said you needed to go there... I was the one that decided to take you there...

ACTION:: Sensors and scanners come back online, and show two ships bearing down on Maverick. They are still out of weapons range, but they are closing fast. They are ships very similar to the ones Maverick encountered before going into the nebula. At the same time, Zarek coms Olivia, to tell her that he is nearly done with repairs::

<Seldon_Wade> ::smiles at Zarek's report:: Olivia: That Zarek fellow is quit good at his job, huh?
<Olivia_Brahn> ::smiles and nods:: Seldon: He sure is... we're very fortunate to have him... Soren was pretty good too but.... :: pauses and bites her lip:: Well... Zarek fills his boots nicely....
<Seldon_Wade> ::raises a brow:: Olivia: Soren was a mechanic as well?
<Olivia_Brahn> ::wrinkles her nose:: Seldon: He knew his way around a ship, lets just say that...
<Seldon_Wade> ::nods:: Olivia: OK ::a bit confused, but didn't want to push the subject:: What about that Miss Doon? She seemed interesting.
<Olivia_Brahn> ::stifly:: Seldon: I wouldn't know... she wasn't here long enough for anyone but Soren to get to know her...\
<Seldon_Wade> ::looks over to her, curiously, but says nothing::

ACTION:: The ships are in weapons range and begin to fire. The shots are wide and not close, but they are noticable. At the same time, the NAVCOM signals that it has the jump coordinates ready::

<Olivia_Brahn> ::keeps talking as if she thinks he's dying to know the answer to the question that she feels guilty about:: Seldon: And for the record, I don't know what happened to them, okay? One minute they were on the Sensors, the next minute they weren't... for all I know they're probably dead... and I wasn't about to risk a ship full of people, half of whom were hurt... to go back and look for
  them... and I know there are people on this ship who will probably hate me forever for it... but they're adults and can look after themselves... for all I know they could be behind me in the shuttle... it's not like it's not working or anything.... ::said in one big long breath::
<Seldon_Wade> ::looks away to the bright shots outside:: Olivia: No need to explain to me. Mr. Sneed wasn't too fond of those two anyway. ::sees some more shots:: Are we under attack?
<Olivia_Brahn> ::snaps her gaze away from Seldon:: Seldon: What>?!?! Aww... Shazbot!!.... ::sees the signal for the jump and hits it::

ACTION:: The hyperdrives kick into gear and Maverick makes the jump, avoiding yet another fight::

<Seldon_Wade> ::looks over to her again:: Olivia: You are the best. ::grins::
<Olivia_Brahn> ::slumps back in the seat as they make hyperdrive. She turns her head to look at him, smirking:: Seldon: Thanks...

ACTION:: After hours in hyperspace, Maverick drops out to the blue water planet of Mon Calamari. Olivia lands the ship on the water, with significant effort on her part, and brings it in to port.::
