Rae Overholt: OK Kevin, you there? We're on our way in. Any sign of them yet?
Kevin Cliffe: Negative...if they operate like you say, we won't see them yet.
Rae Overholt: Xiao Li. Get us off this rock.
Kevin Cliffe: Let's get started. Act one.
Rae Overholt: We'll turn the camo on when we get out of atmosphere
Sabrina McGee: Navcom should have the coords by now.. you got 'em , Xiao Li?
Xiao Li Marshall *takes comm* This is the pilot speaking... everybody better strap yerself in.
Sabrina McGee: Lemme get back to the engine room to strap in..
Xiao Li Marshall: Yep. Coordinates set. Let's get this bird off the ground.
Kevin Cliffe: We don't need the feds seeing our toys. Okay...just be sure to kill the camo after you come out of burn.
Sabrina McGee: All righty.. engine room is green, Raven's purring like a kitten..
Rae Overholt:: Will do.. Right though. No need to turn it on till after the trade is made.
Xiao Li Marshall: Okay, everyone strapped in?
Rae Overholt: All ready
Kevin Cliffe: 99 bottles of beer on the wall...99 bottles of beer...damn I knew I was forgetting something...
Rae Overholt: Wont be noticed Kevin...almost over now..
Rio Starr: We'll get you a beer when we're done.
Xiao Li Marshall: Hey, if I can't fly drunk, neither can you. Quitcher bellyachin'.
Kevin Cliffe: I'm hitting atmo. I meant for the trade items.
Xiao Li Marshall: Lifting off... now! *pulls back on the yoke, and the Raven climbs upward into the black*..and we're out of atmo! Passengers are now free to move about the cabin and get ready to kick some pirate pi gu.
Rae Overholt: Shiny. Let's meet kevin.
Shen Jiuta: Pi gu Kickers standing by...
Xiao Li Marshall: You gonna turn on the camo, Cap'n? If Kevin put a control on this side, I can't find it.
Kevin Cliffe: Moment of truth...
Rae Overholt: Not yet..we'll do that after we make the swap..its been tested..he says it works
Xiao Li Marshall: *nods, checks readouts* At this speed, we've got about... 30, 35 minutes before we get to the rendezvous point.
Kevin Cliffe: *running silent now...does not want to give the pirates any comm chatter
Not that they would be able to break the encryption in time, anyway...*
Xiao Li Marshall: Guys, we got something big and bright BLOWING UP off our port bow...
Rae Overholt: WHAT is that? What do scans show???
Xiao Li Marshall: There was some debris, but nothing that should be able to do *that*...
Xiao Li Marshall: But whatever it was, it's gone now. Nothing on radar.
Rae Overholt: I'm getting a mite nervous here. Kevin ok as far as you can tell?
Rae Overholt eyes the weapons controls.
Rio Starr: What's going on? Was there an explosion? Appears so doc, you sober yet?
Xiao Li Marshall: Can't tell, he's out of sensor range. You want me to break radio silence and check on 'im?
Rio Starr: Yes, I'm stone sober. I've got supplies ready.
Rae Overholt: not yet.. we'll see soon. Nothing we can do if it was him...dont take us too close to it either.
Xiao Li Marshall: Wasn't planning on it, Cap'n.
Rae Overholt:: Good girl
Lexi Vargas: Cargo hold is still quiet and ok.
Xiao Li Marshall: *sneezes* Gorram tree...
Rae Overholt smirks
Lexi Vargas: really quiet.
Rio Starr: *tries not to laugh and looks for an antihistamine*
Rae Overholt: Allright lexi, get your butt up here.
Xiao Li Marshall: Anyone starts singing holiday songs, I'll toss 'em out the airlock.
Sabrina McGee: Everything's fine in the kitchen.. *munch munch*
Rae Overholt: You could cook us something while you're in there
Sabrina McGee: Not in my job description, Cap'n!
Xiao Li Marshall: Or just grab us some protein bars and bring 'em up.
Rae Overholt: Just our luck.
Sabrina McGee points to the Ship's cook
Shen Jiuta: HeeHee, I did have some left=-overs in the fridge... you could warm them up...
Rae Overholt: good. We have anything to celebrate with when this is over?
Sabrina McGee: So, I'm not necessary for the pirates and guns part, right?
Xiao Li Marshall: I have the strangest urge to play with plastic dinosaurs right now.
Rae Overholt: no..you're for the keeping us flying and helping the doc part
Rae Overholt: How much longer Xiao li?
Rio Starr: Xiao Li...you okay with the tree? Need something for sneezing?
Xiao Li Marshall: *snif* might be a good idea, Doc...
Rae Overholt: nothing to make her sleepy!
Rae Overholt eyes sabrina and Xiao Li while holding her hand up for a protein bar
Sabrina McGee: Okay.. back to the galley.. or Xiao's liable to lob something at -my- head
Sabrina McGee tosses one to the Cap'n
Rio Starr: No problem. I've got something that'll help.
Rae Overholt: catches and opens it with her teeth*
Rae Overholt: You seemed bored lexi, thought the walk would do you good
Xiao Li Marshall: *munch munch, grumble grumble*
Rae Overholt gives lexi a "I havent forgiven you yet look"
Sabrina McGee: Looks like I get to be support staff for you, Doc..
Lexi Vargas: I was not bored....had time to polsih the weapons
Rae Overholt takes a bite of the protein bar and watches the weapons console
Rio Starr: That's good, Sabrina. Right now, we just have to keep our pilot from flying us into a rock from sneezing.
Xiao Li Marshall: We're about ten minutes from rendezvous now...
Sabrina McGee: Are we there yet? :)
Xiao Li Marshall: Whatcha got for me, Doc? *snif*
Sabrina McGee: Engine holding strong.. everything's go back here.
Rae Overholt: Nothing untoward on our scans looks like its time to buckle back in folks
Sabrina McGee: Engine room ready and strapped.. ;)
Rio Starr: All right...heading down.
Kevin Cliffe: *Waiting at the trading post, his ship parked in one of the landing pads near the cargo trading area*
Xiao Li Marshall: *breathes* Wow. That stuff does work fast.
Rae Overholt: I think I see our ship
Xiao Li Marshall: You might wanna turn on the camo so they don't see *us.*
Sabrina McGee: I think I can see my house from here.. no, wait.. that's just a catalyzer
Rae Overholt giggles
Rio Starr: laughs. "Uhoh. I didn't realize you really lived for engines, Sabrina."
Rae Overholt: Ok..land us close...no need to lug craits that far if we dont have too
Kevin Cliffe: *some hair black, an old pistol, and blue jeans later, and...*
Xiao Li Marshall: I'm on it.
Kevin Cliffe: *waves to the approaching Firefly*
Xiao Li Marshall: *touches down gently... a little too close to Kevin for comfort*
Rae Overholt eyes xiao li, thankful she's sober
Rae Overholt: Ok everyone..hustle hustle hustle..craits out and into the hope...make a show
Xiao Li Marshall: You need me haulin'?
Rio Starr: And me?
Sabrina McGee says brightly into the comm.. "Have fun! You guys get all the fun jobs!"
Rae Overholt: Wouldnt hurt..every able hand..quick as can be
Shen Jiuta: and us?
Rae Overholt: yep yep...
Sabrina McGee: Status?
Rae Overholt: Good so far
Rio Starr: Still transfering.
Sabrina McGee: Am I the only one left on the ship?
Shen Jiuta: we're all at the airlock... moving crates
Rio Starr: We're going in and out
Sabrina McGee: I'm going up to the bridge then.. just in case.
Sabrina McGee: Next time we should probably leave a pilot and an engineer on board for emergencies
Rae Overholt: next time yeah. Ok..take us out Xiao...when we get out far enough..We'll turn on camo...then make a U and come back
Xiao Li Marshall: Yes, ma'am. Everybody strapped in?
Kevin Cliffe spools up the engines, and readily lifts off...all be it shakily...*
Sabrina McGee: Engine room green and go!
Shen Jiuta: Shen and Gabriel standing by in the cargo bay!
Xiao Li Marshall: 3...2...1... we have liftoff.
Lexi Vargas: All well in cargo
Rae Overholt:: and kevin???
Kevin Cliffe: *he switches over to encrypted channels* Act one complete. On to act two. Make sure you charge that EMP tube before you use it.
Rae Overholt flips a switch to charge the tubes
Rio Starr: Welcome to deep space. *laugh*
Xiao Li Marshall: We're out of atmo... gonna keep 'er on hard burn for about fifteen minutes, then turn around and head back.
Kevin Cliffe: *He flies the 'Hope out of atmo, and out into the black...yep...taking a shortcut, gotta fly free...yep...*
Kevin Cliffe: *Just a lonely ship...no weapons...full of merchandise... And here we go...*
Xiao Li Marshall: Okay, we're out of local sensor range. Time to see if Kevin's as good with camo as he says he is.
Xiao Li Marshall: Cap'n? I need you up on the bridge... Cap'n?.... Rae?
Kevin Cliffe :*energy flares, and...POW! It looks almost like an explosion, but the ship is still there...and here he is, with his engine plasma blown into the void, out of comm range...well, out of range of most comm, except for a narrow-beam encrypted channel But to all else, there's just a feeble radio message...*
Rae Overholt: I'm here.. sorry what happened?
Rae Overholt engages the camo
Xiao Li Marshall: Kevin just gave us the signal. Time to get going.
Kevin Cliffe: "Mayday, mayday, mayday...this is the Remington, to any available ship. I am adrift. Engine failure. Need repairs. Anyone on this frequency, please acknowledge.
Xiao Li Marshall banks the ship in a hard U-turn
Rio Starr: **sputters as a locker in the medbay opens and scatters bandages**
Kevin Cliffe: I say again, mayday, mayday, mayday... *as he sets up his assault weapon...just in case...*
Xiao Li Marshall: Gettin' close to the Hope... no sign of our friend Blaze yet...
Rae Overholt: Let's hope he doesnt have camo too
Kevin Cliffe: Mayday Mayday MAyday, this is the Remington, I have sustained engine failure and need assistance. Anyone on this channel, please respond.
Sabrina McGee: Captain?
Kevin Cliffe: Mayday mayday mayday. I need assistance, please respond.
Rae Overholt: Yes sabrina?
Shen Jiuta: Capt'n is Lexi boarding with Gabe and I?
Rae Overholt: Yes , take turns guarding each others back. If we have to use the EMP they'll be onto us
Sabrina McGee: This camo thing's putting a strain on our fuel.. engine's running a little hot.. no mistakes, and no wasting time, okay? I'll keep her together'til you get back
Rae Overholt: Thanks Sabrina..once we get onboard..if we have to use EMP we can cut it..no need for it then
Xiao Li Marshall: Let's hope Johnny takes the bait soon...
Kevin Cliffe: Mayday mayday mayday, is anyone out there? This is the shipping vessel Remington out from Hansford colony, I need assistance. I repeat, Mayday mayday mayday, this is the Remington. I'm on a mercy mission to Hansford colony, I have sustained engine failure and need assistance. *he checks the sensor display...surely the proximity warning will have tripped*: Mayday mayday mayday...
Xiao Li Marshall drums her fingers on the console.
Xiao Li Marshall: Where the hell ARE they?
Kevin Cliffe: Gorram it...Mayday mayday mayday, I am dead in the black, I need help.
Rae Overholt: Lying in wait I’d imagine
Sabrina McGee falls over laughing
Rae Overholt shakes her head
Kevin Cliffe: Mayday mayday mayday, this is the Remington, on a mercy mission to Hansford colony. I am adrift and need assistance. My engines are dead but I have plenty of air... So I can keep broadcasting for a loooong time. Mayday mayday mayday. This is the Remington, requesting assistance.: 99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer...
Sabrina McGee starts talking to the engines out of boredom and loneliness..
Lexi Vargas: He told me nobody contacted him
Kevin Cliffe goes and pops open a case, pulls out the one real bottle in there...* solvent. that figures.
Sabrina McGee: Who's a good engine? Yes, you are.. my widdle-itsy-woo-woo.. Kevin Cliffe: Mayday mayday mayday.
Rio Starr starts making voodoo dolls out of syringes and bandages.
Sabrina McGee: Where's them plastic dinosaurs I heard about?
Kevin Cliffe: Gorram it...
Lexi Vargas: and he logged out.
Xiao Li Marshall calls up a Cortex feed and starts checking her favorite webcomics.
Kevin Cliffe: This is the Remington, I nead HELP, Gorram it! Someone come out here and help me!
Kevin Cliffe: ...
Lexi Vargas: I think....they are not going to bite.
Xiao Li Marshall: ...SON of a...
Kevin Cliffe: This is WSOS, broadcasting live from the Remington, who's on a mercy mission with a blown engine, broadcasting the latest distressing hits. Here's number ten on the charts. *And "help" by the Beatles starts up in the distress frequency*
Rae Overholt: They'll bite..give them time
Xiao Li Marshall bursts into giggles
Rae Overholt laughs at kevin's antics
Lexi Vargas: grins.
Sabrina McGee: "Good Morning, Persephone!!"
Rio Starr chuckles.
Kevin Cliffe: Mayday mayday mayday, my engines are not going to fix themselves! Hello darkness my old friend... Mayday mayday mayday, I've got to get supplies to a colony but I'm not going to get there if my engine is blown! Trivia from the stranded starship pilot...do you know if you have a round hull and your gravity doesn't work, you can run up the walls like a hamster wheel?
Sabrina McGee: Sounds of Silence..
Xiao Li Marshall turns on the secondary monitor and starts a game of Tetris.
Lexi Vargas: heh
Kevin Cliffe: And, just so everyone knows, I am allergic to reavers, and I have a note from my doctor telling me to administer aerosolized lead.
Lexi Vargas: We are getting close to RL bedtime folks
Kevin Cliffe: Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum...damn...no rum. *and the song changes to "rescue me"*
ROLEPLAY 12-17-06 PIRATES AHOY
Rae Overholt: Everyone set at their stations?
Shen Jiutai: yup!
Shen Jiutai: I think we're ready in the cargo hold Capt'n...
Rio Starr: Ready in medbay
Rae Overholt: Ok, you set Sabrina? *uses coms* We hear anything else from Kevin? Any sign of the pirates? * goes to stand next to Gabe, and leans to whisper something to him. *
Shen Jiutai strains her ear....
Rae Overholt glances at Shay and grins.
Lexi Vargas: Nothing down here.
Shen Jiutai: Xaio spotted 'um yet? Lex, you're still on point, right?
Rae Overholt: I do believe he is.
Lexi Vargas: That is the plan
Xiao Li Marshall: Hey all!
Shen Jiutai: right behind ya...
Lexi Vargas: leans against the mule and waits...relaxed.
Xiao Li Marshall drums her fingers on the console.
Rio Starr keeps checking his supplies, muttering to himself. You'd think he'd never been in a possible combat situation, by the occasional sounds of clattering objects and his muttering.
Rae Overholt: Pilot seat xiao..hows it look up there? anything showing on systems?
Xiao Li Marshall: Nothin' that wasn't there when you asked me five minutes ago, Cap'n.
Rae Overholt smirks “Anymore transmissions from Kevin? He still got that hilarious music playing?”
Xiao Li Marshall flips the channel on experimentally. "I Need A Hero" blazes out at full volume. * winces and turns it back off. * "Yep, still there."
Rae Overholt giggles hysterically, "I love my first mate."
Rio Starr chuckles. "It could be worse, Xiao... It could be worse."
Rae Overholt: Yes it could. You ok Doc?
Rio Starr hehs. "Just wishing for a full suite here. But we'll be fine. Good luck to all of you."
Rae Overholt: Thanks Doc.
Lexi Vargas: Suddenly...there is not much going on.
Rae Overholt: We wait Lexi. They will show. Cant resist such tempting cargo.
Shen Jiutai: long stretches of boredom.....
Rae Overholt: Check your weapons folks, get prepared.
Rio Starr: Is this like space travel then? Long stretches of blah and sudden moments of, "Oh my God, we're going to crash"?
Rae Overholt: Seems so. You see them yet Xiao?
Xiao Li Marshall: Nothing ye--wait. Got somethin' on infrared...
Elsbeth McConachie: hehe
Rae Overholt: Ok..watch it..is it our bogies?
Rae Overholt: Slide up to them..real quiet like if it is...you know the docking proceedure. Ok folks, this could be it. Time to show our stuff. Be careful out there.
Xiao Li Marshall: ...definitely a ship. Dunno if it's Blaze or not...
*A sleek, shining shape darts through the Black, on a course for the 'disabled' Gaia's Hope... Its engines cut out, going to flip its docking hatch to match with that of the Hope...*
Xiao Li Marshall: A Mercury... it's him. Time to get started.
Zerocool Fell thinks about what she's gonna buy with her cut of the payout.
Rae Overholt: This is it. Stations. Let us know when we dock Xiao.
Xiao Li Marshall grabs the yoke and slowly tilts the Raven to match the angle of the approaching ship “Brace yourselves, this is gonna be a tight squeeze.”
Rae Overholt reaches out and grabs a hold of something
Lexi Vargas: leans a hip against the Mule...."About time"
Xiao Li Marshall: *through the hull, the screeeeeech of the ships scraping against each other can be heard*
Rae Overholt: Well there goes our surprise.
Xiao Li Marshall: We got it! Go! NOW! YOU wanna try threadin' this needle, Cap'n, be my guest!
Rae Overholt: Out everyone
Rio Starr: Need me along with kit?
Shen Jiutai: me
Rae Overholt enters the ship behind Lexi and shay, gun drawn and looking for pirates.
Shen Jiutai: Damn! That's a big Crew!!!
Rae Overholt: Yes it is...
Shen Jiutai rushes in behind Lexi...
Billie sidles up behind Sirk
Xiao Li Marshall pulls down the com. "How are the engines looking, 'Brina? If this goes south, we might have to get outta here in a hurry."
Petey the parrot mangles his feathers
Johnny Blaze staggers as the -other- ship force-docks with his, the merry band of miscreants ready to force-dock with the Gaia's Hope- It's chaos, to say the least, though the flashy fellow tries to keep his cool. After all... There's a -lot- more pirates geared up, though they're not quite facing the right way... "- A'right, surrender, you lot! Or this gets messy!"
Rae Overholt eyes the large group of pirates, utters an explicative and dives for cover
Petey the parrot squawks
Shen Jiutai takes aim at the closest pirate and fires
Zerocool Fell gets up and draws her pistol. "Cap, who the hell are these people?"
Gamma Reynolds turns around to find someone taking aim and dives toward the nearest cover.
Rae Overholt takes aim at a pirate in front of her
Shen Jiutai fires at Sirk
Sirk Sumbula dives to the ground, barely avoiding the blast
Petey the parrot lets out an ear piercing squawk.
Gamma Reynolds rolls onto his feet, "Where did these guys come from?" he yells as he takes aim on the woman in red and fires.
Lexi Vargas: finds himself a crate or something to take cover behind and looks over it as he checks to see if they have been seen. Rifle braced on the crate top, the red head glares in disapproval at the numbers they face.
Johnny Blaze starts moving for cover, swearing. "They -always- take the hard way. Why they always gotta take the hard way? Take 'em down, crew!" As he moves, the Captain grabs his niiiice and shiney -laser pistols!- from his holsters.
Rae Overholt dodges back behind her cover, only to peek back out and fire at gamma, "What’s that matter, not ready for us? THIEVES"
Billie the pirate, takes aim with her boys at the unwelcome guests
Shay Jiutai charges to cover firing at Jadi
Xiao Li cringes at the sounds of gunfire filtering up from the cargo bay
Sirk Sumbula crawls for cover, scrambling to remove his shotgun from his back
Rio Starr winces. "What's going on, Xiao? Can you tell?"
Gamma Reynolds dodges behind his cover and fires off another shot at Rae.
Zerocool Fell dives behind a crate. "Don't have to tell me twice, cap'n!" She ducks out and fires off a couple of shots in the direction of Shen, ducking back behind her crate without waiting to see if her shots hit home.
Xiao Li: SOMEbody's getting their pi gus kicked, I can't tell who... You're closer, you tell me!
Sirk Sumbula shotgun in hand, takes aim at Shen, and attempts to return fire
Montanio Andalso hears something he doesn't like the sounds of, so he glances left and right, and heads for the galley. Ben, a big guy, and Jerry, is in the cargo hold with their really big guns, so anyone entering the cargo area has to deal with them.
Billie fires her dual sawed off shottys the heroes
Shen Jiutai hides behind her cover, but sees Zerocool now and returns fire
Johnny Blaze’s hat goes flying off, poking up from behind a nice random crate. "Wei! I liked that!" One of his bodyguards returns fire, the other scrambling to retrieve the headgear for his Captain.
Xiao Li hears footsteps... footsteps she doesn't recognize. "Aiya huale..."
Elsbeth McConachie: Ye scurby dogs! It’s our catch, and ye cant have it
Rio Starr mutters something at the com link. "What, Xiao?"
Petey the parrot begins to say "it was a dark and stormy night"
Lexi Vargas: It's not hard to miss seeing that big white hat. It makes a dandy target after all. With the rifle braced on the crate tope to make it flawlessly steady, he takes aim an inch below the bobbing white...then shoots.
Rae Overholt whips out from behind her cover, takes aim at gamma and fires off another shot, blood running down her cheek from ricochet and splinters from the crate she was hiding behind. She then ducks back; lower this time, waiting to get off another shot.
Shen Jiutai sees an opportunity, leaves her cover and pounces on Zerocool, holding her gun to her face
Xiao Li returns to the bridge and pulls the com down. "Nothin'. Thought I heard something is all." Gorram ship's got me jumpin' at shadows again...
Zerocool Fell is stung in the face by bits of hot metal as Shen's shots punish the crates she's using for cover. She barely has time to regain her senses before Shen is on top of her holding a gun to her face. "Ai-yah! GET OFF ME!"
Billie starts to move towards the bridge of the ship
Gamma Reynolds is unable to avoid the shot this time. He takes the bullet in his right shoulder and falls back onto the deck in pain. Just then, Knight runs from further inside the ship and takes cover next to Gamma, gun drawn and seeking the one who shot him. He takes aim at Rae and pops off two rounds before taking cover again.
Poor Flux! Bad time to be carrying the hat. The bodyguard goes down in a tangle of limbs. "Hun dan!" Johnny pokes out from behind cover, a crimson lance scarring the hull towards Lexi.
Sirk Sumbula spots Shen jumping Zerocool, and starts to inch his way over, trying to sneak up behind
Shen Jiutai places a hand over Zerocools mouth and says "shut up if you want to live"
Bille calls out "who the hell are you?!" while trying to get around a corner
Rae Overholt yells out, "Watch out Shen, behind you!" She takes aim at Sirk, trying to prevent Shen from being injured. "Bash her senseless and get another one Shen" She then takes aim at the pirate hovering over the downed Gamma and fires.
Zerocool Fell jams the barrel of her own gun into Shay's ribs and tries to speak through Shen's hand. It comes out all muffled. "Drp yhr gn mff yeww wnn liff!"
Shen Jiutai says" so much for playin' nice as she swings the but of her gun at Zero cool's face...
Sirk Sumbula doesn't notice Rae aiming at him, continues to edge his way over, nearly on them now.
Ben, stands up with his gun blazing, trying to hit Lexi and Rae with at least some stray shotgun shrapnel. Jerry on the other hand, seems to be having a little trouble with his gun. It’s going click, click, click. He might be easy pickings.
Xiao Li: Rio, what the hell's going on down there?
Sirk Sumbula catches the shot in the shoulder, scrambling forward, ruining his cover behind the crates
Billie moves around a corner, and uses it as cover, while blasting at anyone who can be seen
Rio Starr: Nothing...just trying to see if I can tell what's going on out there
Zerocool Fell hears bells in her ears and sees a black fuzziness creeping in on the edges of her vision after Shen bashes her in the head. The last thing she sees is Shen jumping up to fight another pirate.
Shen Jiutai looks up to see the commotion behind her and fires at Gamma...
Knight is thankful he had taken cover after firing, as the return shots were far too close for comfort. He is fairly sure his face is bleeding from some kind of shrapnel. He peeks his head over the crates, trying to assess the situation. He fires again at Rae as he is unsure where anyone else is.
Petey the parrot recites another line of really bad poetry
Rae Overholt ducks again as she feels something hit her left arm, she switches her gun to her right hand and then takes aim at the pirate having trouble with his gun. Ducking she takes a moment to reload and then comes out, just as Knight shoots, feeling the heat of a bullet pass too close for comfort.
Lexi Vargas says a string of highly discouraging words as the laser tears thru the crate he was using as cover. Dozen's of glass vials tumble out of it, shattering ands spilling pale tinted liquids and glass over the floor. Wood chips, laser and shot shrapnel fly around the cussing red head and a long chunk of his red hair goes flying, snipped off by wildfire. With no cover, he makes a weaving charge for Bob, shooting as he goes.
Knight does not see Shen fire at him from behind. Taken completely off guard, he collapses to the ground dead from the bullet. He never sees who has shot him.
Billie moves towards the bridge while keeping a close eye one what going on around her
Sirk Sumbula manages to pick up his shotty again, barely able to hold it up with his injured shoulder, fires blindly behind him, in an attempt to hit the one who had injured his shoulder
Johnny is, perhaps, not -fully aware of the tactical situation. "We got 'em runnin'!" he crows out, reaching out for his hat amid the hail of fire. "This is what ya get for messin' with Johnny Blaze!"
Shen Jiutai , who is next to Sirk holds her gun to his back...
Zerocool Fell still sees two of everything, and the room won't stop spinning, but the sounds of gunshots and shouting around her are motivating her to drag herself back behind some cover. She scurries on all fours until she is huddled behind a stack of barrels. She clutches her throbbing head to try and stop the pain and dizziness from making her pass out again. She's in no condition to fight, and her gun only has three rounds left anyway. The rest are back in her cabin. She wasn't prepared for a fight yet when these people busted in.
Sirk Sumbula "Well.. hell..", tries to turn his gun on Shay
Jerry...poor guy, gets his gun working and aims it dead at Rae right in time to make friends with a bullet from her gun. He dies with a stunned look on his face, upright for a moment, then toppling over backwards in a heap of unloved meat. Only his mother will mourn him. Ben though, hey! He's having a good time shooting rather randomly and making weird grunting sounds.
Rae Overholt leans out and sends a shot at Ben, hoping to hit him in his flailing charge. Feeling her left arm going numb she wipes a streak of blood out of her eye and takes a shot at Billie.
The heroes hear Petey the parrot’s awful poetry fading down the halls of the ship
Mustang has only groggily awaked to the sound of the gunfire. Picking up his favorite handgun, he runs to the cargo hold. He peeks in the door and sees how desperate the situation has become. He sees Rae lean out from her cover and fires off two rounds from the door as he runs in finding the nearest cover.
Bille sees Shen trying to get a bead on her and fires some cover shots, while back pedaling to the bridge
Montanio Andalso is, meanwhile, in the galley, frowning at the sounds of lots and lots of gunfire below. He reaches for a gun, then winces a little, since it looks really sort of greasy and ugh! So instead he arms himself with a can of corn and hides behind the counter.
Shen Jiutai follows Billy to the bridge... ducking the shots fired...
Gamma Reynolds sees Shay following Billie into the ship and fires off a round at her back.
Rae Overholt taps her com and says to Xiao li, "HIT the EMP, take out their power! We're getting it from all sides" She then lets out a string of explicatives as Mustang's shot whizzes by, and turns to take fire on him.
Bille is trying to find cover.. ahh there is a partially open hatch and dives for it, leaving parrot feathers in her wake
Xiao Li jumps at the sound of the com...
Lexi Vargas is on deck, taking a run around the cargo edge in a attempt at a flanking maneuver
Xiao Li fumbles around--where the hell is the switch for the EMP?
Zerocool Fell uses one hand to pull herself up against a barrel into a kneeling position. She raises her gun hand and tries to look threatening, hoping she won't actually have to shoot while she's still seeing double.
Shen Jiutai takes a bullet to the shoulder and falls forward on her face
Sirk 2 taking his good ole' time to arrive, scans the room for unfamiliar faces to open fire upon.
Xiao Li finally locates the EMP button and SLAMs her full weight on it
Shen Jiutai rolls over looking for the holder of the gun that shot her
Gamma Reynolds rolls away after seeing Shen fall forward and finds new cover out of sight of the door.
Billie takes note of the EMP pulse that slams in the supply ship, and curses inventively
Sirk spots Mera behind the shattered crate, and charges in her direction, pulling his handgun from it's holster
Johnny is trying to track Lexi's progress with his laser, leaving a scorched wake behind it, when the EMP hits- *BWOMP* Sputter- Flicker- "Huh?" Click click. "Ta me de-" No more blazing!
Petey the parrot screeches very loudly hurting everyone’s ears, especially Billies
Ben is being shot at and such, but he's a big guy. He soaks up one bullet and keeps on truckin, rushin for Lexi as he soaks up another bullet of his as well. It’s going to be close quarters before he can be brought down.
Shen Jiutai regains her feet and hugs the wall of the corridor
Rae Overholt grins devilishly, and then notices the charger. Shoving sideways with her legs, she raises her pistol and fires at Sirk2.
Xiao Li blinks. Huh. She half-expected the EMP to take out the Raven's systems too. Score one for Cliffe.
Lexi Vargas: crouches as he runs the edge of the cargo, moving from crate to crate looking for a shot. He spots a dizzy looking female kneeling behind a crate, gun aimed at something...and lines up a shot on her.
Sabrina McGee hits the comm.. "That thump I just felt was you firing the EMP, right
Xiao Li: 'Less there's a fourth ship out there we don't know about.
Gamma Reynolds peeks out from behind his cover to see Lexi taking aim at Billie. He aims at Lexi and fires a shot.
Sirk2 seeing the gun raise, quickly shifts to the side, catching the bullet in the arm, leaps behind a crate, shouting random curses rather loudly
Zerocool Fell sees Lexi running from crate to crate... sees three of Lexi running in a maze of crates, actually. She picks one and shoots at it. "Take that, you... YOU!"
Shen Jiutai , with head pounding moves back towards the cargo bay
Bille reels in pain from her blown eardrum, and staggers behind the hatch to try and close it
Rae Overholt shouts out for shay, "SHEN YOU OKAY?" She then aims at the crate Sirk2 ducked behind, waiting for a chance. With no contact with Xiao since the EMP took out her com..she hopes this ends well.
Regular guns still work fine, luckily! The Captain stays low, making his way to the fallen bodyguard to retrieve the man's rifle. The still-standing bodyguard pops off a trio of shots to the gun-fu-tastic Rae, before making his own dive for safety.
Lexi Vargas didn't notice that big grunty ben didn’t go down when he shot him and so only notices the charge after he fired at Zero. A shot hits him and spins him back and down, just before Ben's impact hits.
Sirk2 peers around the edge of his cover, firing of a few rounds
Billie begins to reload in the relative quiet of her hidey hole
Gamma Reynolds continues moving silently through the crates. It seems as though everyone has lost him in the mess. He finds Rae behind some crates looking as though they've had better days and begins firing at the crates to make more holes.
Shen Jiutai makes out where Gamma took cover and slides up the wall in the darkness towards him.
Xiao Li, up in the bridge, radiates tension. She's no good in a gunfight, and she knows it, and if the crew goes down she'll be easy pickings for the pirates...
Petey the parrot flies off of Billies shoulder and perches on a crate
Montanio Andalso: Ben...he's already marked for death by the grim reaper. He just doesn't know it yet. He goes down with Lexi and proceeds to bleed...a lot. He's sort of wrestling and choking on blood at the same time. All Lexi has to do is outlast or finish him off.
Rio Starr moves down into the cargo bay of the Raven, laden with bandages and more.
Rae Overholt tries to wedge herself behind better cover as the crate is slowly picked apart and she is peppered with splinters. She rises up briefly to take another shot at mustang. Narrowly avoiding two of the shots from the bodyguard and taking a grazing blow from the third on her back.
Billie gets her bearings and looks around for a target
Shen Jiutai comes up behind Gamma as he's distracted by the parrot and places the barrel of her gun at the base of his skull
Gamma Reynolds pauses his firing, feeling warm metal on his face. He looks over to see the barrel of a gun attached to Shay. He debates his options at this point.
Lexi Vargas: growls in annoyance and pain as he wrestles with BEN. How -rude_ someone had the nerve to shoot him. He gets both hands around Ben's neck to try and hasten the Reaper's call.
Sirk 2 rises from his cover, and takes aim at Shen, "Hello there."
Billie peers around the hatch, and shuts the hatch between here and the gun fight
Shen Jiutai pulls the trigger and dives for cover
Gamma Reynolds is presumably dead as the bullet would not have traveled far before hitting his head
Rae Overholt takes the moment to shoot at Sirk2 when he leaves the safety of his cover, she then looks for another target, spotting Johnny's bodyguard's elbow sticking out she aims for it.
Zerocool Fell is down to two bullets... she's not sure if she got Lexi when she shot at him or not, but she knows that she's going to have to go get more bullets or start throwing rocks if she wants to stay in this fight. She summons all her strength to get to her feet. She staggers two steps toward the cargo bay's exit before she notices that something is very wrong. She's still not sure if her shot hit Lexi, but Lexi's shot definitely hit her. The pain in her head has distracted her until now, but she can't exactly ignore the growing bloodstain on her shirt. She suddenly understands why she's getting more and more light-headed instead of feeling less dizzy as time passes. The black fuzziness is creeping back into the edges of her field of vision, and she collapses back onto her hands and knees before rolling over onto her back. She can't feel much at this point, but she does feel streaks of heat as hot tears begin to roll down her face. This isn't how this mission was supposed to go.
Petey the parrot flies back to Billies shoulder spouting abysmally bad poetry
Ben has a scratch fat neck, and he gets Lexi pretty disgustingly splattered with blood, but he does go on to meet his maker after a few disgusting moments, leaving behind a few illegitimate children across the galaxy...but...he wasn't paying child support anyway.
There- An opening! Ought to be a way to force this little fiasco into something more favorable... A shout of 'Cover me!' to his remaining bodyguard gets a hail of fire laid out, while Johnny Blaze makes a dash for the Raven's side of bay's hatch. Surprise!
Sirk 2 takes the bullet to the gut, staggers back, and fires a few times in Rae's direction, before leaning against a crate to bleed a moment
Rae Overholt ducks behind her cover for a moment and then jumps up to run after Johnny as he heads for her ship. She goes for a flying tackle as he gets to the hatch.
Shen Jiutai fires some shots after Johnny as she gets to her feet again
Billie works her way around to the overhead catwalk
Rio Starr is in the cargo bay, keeping down by the mule. He blinks as someone not of the crew runs in. “Crap.”
Flax: Someone's going for the boss! Flax tries to blindside Rae with a tackle of his own as Johnny bursts into the scene. "Hands up, weapons down If you wanna live!" He brandishes his rifle fiercely!
Lexi Vargas: Once Ben gives his last gross phl
Sirk 2 contemplates leaving his cover, and bleeding elsewhere. Dies from blood loss instead.
Rae Overholt yells back, I got him, you guys finish the others off. She is missed by Flax, but he bumps her enough to set her off course, she aims her gun and gets off a wild shot at Johnny before she plows to the floor of the cargo bay and turns to fire at Flax, hoping to get him while he is down.
Billie gets behind some over and takes aim from above and to the side of the melee, she fires at Lexi with both barrels
Xiao Li hears noises...okay, those are definitely coming from OUR cargo bay.
Sabrina McGee hears the Doc down in the cargo bay, grabs the spare pistol and heads downstairs where she sees an intruder with the Doc..
Once ben gives his last phlegmy, bloody gasp, Lex groans and rolls onto his side, grasping the rifle that was knocked out of his hands when Zero's shot spun him off his feet. Staying low for the moment he scans the area to see who's still in the fight.
Sabrina McGee: "Get OFF MY SHIP."
Montanio Andalso lines up a few other hard canned goods, nervously pondering how to make his stand. He runs his fingers through his hair, no sense looking bad, even in a fight. He cocks his head, hearing less and less fighting taking place, but that's because...more and more people are dead.
Shen Jiutai comes behind Johnny and says" welcome Aboard"
Rio Starr tries to duck down by the mule, finally getting a good urge for self-preservation. "Xiao Li! We're invaded!"
Sabrina McGee slaps the com by the door.. "Xiao Li, we've got company down in the cargo bay.. fire up the engines."
Xiao Li freezes. Oh, *shit.*
Petey the parrot keeps up his stream of horrific verse, to those who can hear him, it’s like a pain unlike any other
Johnny Blaze: *Bang! Rrrrip.* "My -coat-! Gorramit!" *Bang! Splurt.* So much for Flax. What's there to do but- Dive for the guy without a gun! "Nobody move!" Yes, he's trying for a hostage.
Sabrina McGee continues to train her gun on the intruder..
Shen Jiutai takes careful aim and says" Rio, hold very still"
Rae Overholt blinks away stars and tries to wipe the blood from her eyes before she realizes that Sabrina is yelling, "Watch OUT Sabrina, I don’t know how many more there are!" She looks to Shen and realizes that Lexi has been left alone and fears the worst. "Shen, Lexi??"
Xiao Li gets control of herself and starts firing up the engines....
Rio Starr tries to scramble away from the pirate heading for him, dropping his bandages and immediately wielding a nice lovely knife.
Billie takes careful aim, and fires both barrels at Lexi again
Sabrina McGee: Let me make this perfectly clear.. You do NOT want to be on this ship with that hatch open if I tell the pilot to break atmo.
Lexi Vargas: Two shots come blasting his way from an unseen source. One buries into the body at his side and other hits him. With a look of surprise the already down red head drops down and rolls behind a box.
Xiao Li is absolutely still, both hands gripping the yoke tightly; fighting to keep her breathing even.
Zerocool Fell feels a thousand miles away from the fight now. She can't hear anything except the whoosh-whoosh of her own pulse in her ears as her head continues to throb, but even that is getting quieter with each passing second. Her field of vision has narrowed down to a single point of light on the ceiling, and she suddenly wishes she had a blanket, which strikes her as hilarious in the middle of a firefight. Her laughter comes out as choked sobs. Some part of her knows that she's dying... or maybe dead already... but she can't make herself care. It's not scary like it's supposed to be. Truth be told, it's the most peace she's felt in years. Her last breath comes out as a soft sigh, and she closes her eyes with a small smile on her face.
Shen Jiutai takes advantage of Rio creating distance to fire at Johnny, aiming for his gun arm
Petey the parrot recites another verse of doom "thou art mine, my love, as thee can see thou dost mean alot to me"
Rae Overholt grins happily at Sabrina's tactics, thinking, smart girl. She stands up shakily, mustering bravado. "You ladies got this? I'm going for Lexi.”
Johnny blaze: "Gorramit, I -said- -" The pirate goes to reverse the rifle for a butt-smack to the Good Doctor- *Bang!* "Argh! Ya lil'-" A graze, but it's enough to make the swing wide. Over at the mechanic- "Ya do that, we -all- go for a walk!"
Lexi Vargas: is behind a box, wounded and having a bad, bad day.
Shen Jiutai stops messing around and fires a long auto burst at Johnny
Sabrina McGee: Yes, but I don't rightly care at this point..
Rae Overholt looks hopefully at Sabrina, really worrying about lexi alone with so many who might be left there, she turns and heads back to the pirate ship. Stopping in the hatch to note who might be alive and where they are. Spotting the pirate on the catwalk she takes aim to hopefully distract if nothing else. "LEXI YOU ALIVE?"
Rio Starr scurries away from Johnny and immediately drops down to the floor, arms covering his head as Shen takes care of the matter with her usual aplomb. Damn. The women on this ship...
Billie sees movement from the outer hatch and lets loose a cloud of hot lead
Lexi Vargas: calls back in an annoyed tone. "Hell yes I am alive. "
The bullets stitch out towards Johnny, who tries diving for annoyingly mobile cover in the form of Rio- The coat gets a few more holes in it, and the Captain gets a few more in his side, the rifle clattering to the floor. "Feng... le... jiang-" *Cough cough* -
Lexi Vargas: lifts his head up over the box to see just where the other people are
Montanio Andalso is not in sight.
Zerocool Fell lays very still, because she is dead.
Rae Overholt ducks from the gunfire. "Can you get the one on the catwalk?" She takes a moment to charge back out into the bay, searching for appropriate cover so she can aim for the shooting pirate.
Shen Jiutai collapses to the floor of the Raven's cargo bay, knowing, at least, that her home is safe
Zerocool Fell is beginning to go stiff from rigor mortis. Now's the time to put her in a comical pose before it's too late!
Shay Jiutai: uh, doc... could you look at my shoulder?
Billie scoots back towards more cover while firing a round of shot too keep everyone’s head down.
Sabrina McGee watches as the intruder collapses.. "Doc, get him doped up and stabilized.. then see to Shen and the rest!"
Lexi Vargas rolls onto his hip and looks for the shooter on the catwalk. "I can sure try." He sees if he can line up a ride shot from his low ground angle.
Rio Starr drops his arms down, glancing over at Sabrina, then at Shen. "You bleeding bad, Shen?"
Sabrina McGee: Doc, you in shock?!
petey the parrot starts to recite quotes from monty python
Rae Overholt yells out to Billie, "It's only you left, give up while you still can. We'll let you and the parrot live. Decide to fight us, and the parrot dies."
Sabrina McGee: C'mon!! We got people to get to!
Rio Starr dives for his bag and pulls out a hypo and vial. He's not exactly nice about jabbing the needle into Johnny's arm and pumping him up with dope.
Johnny slips the rest of the way into unconsciousness. Woe!
Sabrina McGee: I'll help Shen to the Infirmary..
Billie sees which way the wind is blowing and shouts out "Alright! I give"
Rae Overholt: Throw down your weapons and come out with your hands up, no tricks!!
Sabrina McGee: Grab hold, Shen..
Shen Jiutai gazes fondly at Sabrina as she allows herself to be picked up
Rae Overholt was really hoping to shoot that parrot.
Zerocool Fell continues to lie there like a piece of fleshy furniture. At least she's not leaking too much blood all over the cargo bay floor. It's coagulating nicely.
Sabrina McGee: C'mon, let's get you to the infirmary..
Xiao Li , although she isn't there, also wishes Rae had shot the parrot. That's good eatin'.
Shen Jiutai: we goin' on a date?
Billie slides her boys down the catwalk and stands with her hands in the air
Sabrina McGee: Sure.. :)
Sabrina McGee carries Shen to the infirmary and lays her on a table..
Lexi Vargas comes up from behind his box stiffly, blood covering him from the chest down. He clicks a new round into the rifle and moves towards Rae, look damn ready to shoot anything that things about twitching.
Rio Starr mutters and checks the fallen pirate captain for any injuries that might make him bleed out, slapping a bandage on the worst then grabbing him under his arms to drag him towards the med bay.
Rae Overholt: Lexi, can you walk? You gonna live pretty boy?
Xiao Li pulls the com down. "How are we doing? Need a quick exit?"
Johnny, unfortunately for him, looks like he'll live. For now. Surely he's being heavy just to be annoying.
Sabrina McGee slaps the comm.. "Hang tight, Xiao Li. everything's in control so far.. we got injured.. keep the engines warm, though.. once everyone's on board, I want a speedy exit.
Billie shifts nervously and waits for instructions
Lexi Vargas: makes it to Rae's side., Look worse for the wear. "I'll live. Takes more then losing a little blood to off me."
Rae Overholt nods at Lexi and then goes tense again when she hears Montanio call out, "Come on down Billie, and tell us whom that is yelling."
Sabrina McGee: Doc, I'm gonna go take a look real quick and see if anyone else needs a hand on board..
Billie cautiously makes her way down to the cargo bay floor
Sabrina McGee peers cautiously out the cargo bay doors, pistol in hand..
Petey begins to qoute douglas adams,
out of context
Rio Starr: "Good! let me know how many need urgent care." He stretches the pirate captain on the floor, then looks to Shen's injury.
Zerocool Fell is still dead, which is fortunate, because she'd be wringing a parrot's neck if she were alive.
Sabrina McGee yells out the cargo doors.. "Cap'n?!? Lexi? You out there? Status?"
Billie lookls around at her fallen comrades, and counts the bodies
Rae Overholt motions to Billie, "Grab the bird and give Lexi a hand or I shoot you and the parrot dead. I'm going to look for others here" She waits, leaning unsteadily against the wall. Starting when Sabrina shows. "Here Sabrina, help lexi, cover Billie."
Sabrina McGee: You two okay? I got Doc warming up the infirmary..
Montanio Andalso comes out of the galley, creeping around the corner with his weapon in hand.
Billie calls to her parrot soothingly, as petey makes his way to her shoulders , she notices that Montaino is nowhere to be seen, and begins to curse him under her breath
Shen Jiutai: better look at me quick doc, there's more a commin'
Billie calls out in the direction of the Galley “Mont! its over.”
Sabrina McGee: Your captain is gone. You're outnumbered. Stand Down.
Rae Overholt turns her head to Mont and notices his weapon, she raises her own and aims it at him. "drop it" she says in a slurred voice.
Lexi Vargas gruffs "I'm fine enough." He trains the rifle on Billie. "To the other ship now. March. I'm jumpy too so don't trip."
Rio Starr nods to Shen, and wraps a pressure bandage over her arm and shoulder. "Don't move much. You're still bleeding, but that's a good thing--not too bad. It'll help clean it out.""
Montanio Andalso feels better about hearing that familiar voice calling that its over so he walks rather confidently into view on the catwalk, saying, while he tosses his can of corn in the air a few times, in a purr, "For fuck's sake, that took long enough you idio....er..." He blinks a few times.
Billie takes a longing look at her boys sitting on the catwalk, and says in a small voice, will ya get my guns? They are too good to be scuttled.
Rio Starr is a lot nicer to Shen than he was to Johnny in giving her a shot of antibiotic.
Shen Jiutai: thanks Doc, can ya see the bullet?
Rae Overholt gives Billie a look, "if I get them I keep them." still in a slurred voice, as she watches Mont on the catwalk, her gun quivering slightly as it aims at him.
Sabrina McGee: Okay.. Cap'n, which one shot Shen? ::pissed::
Billie gives Mont the eye as she moves in to the other ship
Lexi Vargas: can understand a love for guns...and he sympathizes but not enough to detour to get them. "I think you will have to replace them some time later. You have bigger troubles just now."
Rae Overholt looks at Sabrina, "I dunnnoo..so many of 'm..still one up there." her eyes blink several times.
Montanio Andalso holds up one hand and then sets the corn down. "Ahhh...riiight. I'm just a passenger." He tries to grin innocently. "That will teach me to take rides from the dregs of society, hmmm?"
Sabrina McGee: Lexi? Cap'n? Think you can make it back to the ship okay?
Rae Overholt scoffs at him, still wondering what one as pretty as him is doing here. "shap..g..down..'ere"
Rio Starr nods. "It missed bone and major blood vessels. I think you'll live, as long as you don't overdo the celebrating." He preps Shen quickly for surgery, letting the dope have a bit of time to work on her as well. He calls out to the comm. "How is everyone? Need immediate care?"
Xiao Li 's foot taps a staccato rhythm on the floor of the bridge. Violence she can deal with, but all this *waiting* gets her really nervous.
Lexi Vargas: Is already on his way back. He is dragging a bit, but he has Billie to keep an eye on.
Rae Overholt looks at sabrina and says, "Kevin..check.."
Zerocool Fell wasn't a very good pirate, really. She was being a VERY good dead person, though. Nobody had ever stood still and bled with quite so much... lifelessness. In a few hours, she's sure she'll start to stink up the cargo bay as her gray body begins to bloat. Yes. She is very good at being dead indeed.
[20:55] Shen Jiutai: Can't let Johnny Jerko Diiiieeeeeee *Shen fades*
Sabrina McGee yells back to the Doc.. "Looks like Rae's gonna need you next, Doc!" Rae, where's Kevin?
Rae Overholt blinks..still trying to focus on the catwalk. "hope."
Montanio Andalso makes a slow procession down to the cargo bay and Rae, watching always her gun as it is pointed at him. He lifts his hands. "You wouldn't shoot an unarmed man would you?"
Rae Overholt smirks, "mmm.. hurry up.." squeezes the trigger to fire one round to show her seriousness, not feeling like bleeding to death waiting on a pretty boy pirate.
Montanio Andalso hurries it up, glad he doesn't have to stay with the dead rotting corpses!
Sabrina McGee: All right. Cap'n, if you can manage back to the ship, I can get Kevin..
Rae Overholt nods and follows stumbling slightly behind Mont as they make their way to the Raven.
Zerocool Fell rots as hard as she's ever rotted before. She rots like her life... er... death depends on it... as Mont hurries past.
Lexi Vargas: takes Billie up to the Galley and stands guard with her till further orders come in. Leaning against the wall he keeps the gun trained on her and idly bleeds.
Montanio Andalso feels...the emotion coming from the dead body of Zero and says a little inner prayer for her soul!
Billie not wounded in the fray leans back and relaxes in galley
Rae Overholt goes over to a crate in the cargo hold and shoots a hole in it..she then looks at Mont and says "innn.."
Sabrina McGee picks up Kevin and heads back to the ship..
Shen Jiutai senses someone in her galley and murmmers " she'd better clean up her mess!"
Johnny lies there doped out and shot up in the Raven's medical bay. With his face mashed up against a cold metal cabinet.
Shen Jiutai: Doc?
Petey the parot is uncharacteristically quiet
Rio Starr is in the med bay, operating like..well, not quite a fiend... He's got Shay's souvenir out of her body and into a pan where it really belongs. "Hm?" he replies as he bandages her up completely.
Shen Jiutai: I good here?
Sabrina McGee hits the comm: "Xiao Li, looks like we're all on.."
Montanio Andalso follows the direction of the gun more than the direction of Rae's words. He can tell she looks hurt so he keeps up his pace decently. "I'll behave if you need to go get looked at."
Rae Overholt hits the com still in a slurred voice. "Lexi...crrate him.." she then slumps to the floor breathing a sigh of relief.
Sabrina McGee: Captain, everything good to close up and take off?
Rae Overholt nods at Sabrina and motions towards Monti and the crate before closing her eyes.
Xiao Li: Just tell me when to fire 'er up.
Rio Starr: "You're good, Shen." He looks up. "Who else? Who all was shot?"
Sabrina McGee hits the controls to shut the cargo bay doors..
Sabrina McGee: Doc, can you come help get Rae?
Shen Jiutai: Thanks Doc...
Billie calls out and says We still got some cargo on the ship, you aint just gonna leave are ya?
Sabrina McGee: That's what the Cap'n said.. No offense to you.. but if you'd be so kind..
Sabrina McGee motions towards an open crate
Xiao Li grimaces at the dead pirate on the windshield.
Rae Overholt opens an eye and motions with her gun, 'xi..frs..'
Billie looks angry and says well what about salvage then?
Lexi Vargas considers the interesting dark look to the blood that stains his side...then nods at the com a moment before getting the idea speaking to it is a better Idea. "I have a prisoner and a parrot up in the Gally. What should I do with her?"
We got personal items there yet
Rio Starr rushes out to the cargo bay...really...though lag's got him trapped in the medbay
Lexi Vargas: nods at Billie to. "Salvage is a very good idea."
Sabrina McGee helps the Doc get Rae back to the infirmary..
Sabrina McGee: "C'mon, Captain.. let's get you looked at.."
Rae Overholt opens her eyes again and shakes her head, "lx.frs.."
Gabriel Keats rushes down “ Rae!”
Montanio Andalso wanders over to a crate and steps into it, casting Rae a rather pitiful look. "Well...just for you, lady."
Rio Starr helps Rae towards the infirmary. "Sabrina...can you check the others? See if anyone else was hurt?"
Billie looks at Lexi and says “It’s not as if we were the murder'n type. We jest scarred 'em a bit.”
Gabriel Keats follows Rae and the doctor to the infirmary
Sabrina McGee: Gabe, you got any wounds?
Rae Overholt tries hard to keep moving and her eyes open, and struggles to say in a clear voice, "lex, first."
Lexi Vargas: Yeah. Well at least you are getting to live to tell about it. Was anyone there important to ya?
Shen Jiutai: Dco, ya better' lookit that Johnny guy...
Billie, looks around and says uh, you should get that patched up
Sabrina McGee: Lexi, I got it now.. go have Doc patch you up
Sabrina McGee: Cap's orders.
Sabrina McGee: Well, if I have any say in the matter.. specially for any decent parts..
Rio Starr gets Rae onto the table and cleans her wounds, then dopes her for surgery. So he's a pusher...he's got some good drugs!
Rio Starr: "Cap'n...you just shush...relax."
Shen Jiutai stumbles in a haze to her galley...
Montanio Andalso sits in a red crate, peering out. Once the cargo bay clears out, he rocks back and forth and it sort of thunks around a bit.
Billie looks grumpy and says well ya fried most of our systems.
Rae Overholt shakes her head as she goes under.
Lexi Vargas: Is leaning on the wall looking a bit white has he guards Billie. He nods at Sabrina woozily. "We going to salvage that rig?" He grins at the answer then pushes off the wall to wander down to the medbay.
Rio Starr grumbles into the comm. "Lexi! Get your butt down here..."
Sabrina McGee: You heard the man..
Sabrina McGee watches Lexi head out..
Rio Starr: "Gabriel...you know anything about first aid?"
Gabriel Keats: A bit. Tell me what to do.
Gabriel Keats’s face is pale. He looks at Rae with a stricken expression::
Sabrina McGee: You okay, Shen?
Sabrina McGee looks worried..
Lexi Vargas: wanders into the med bat grinning and looking very pleased. He must be sick.
Xiao Li hollers into the comm, "Are we leavin' or not?!"
Johnny, drugged and blood-lossy, mumbles something about angels.
Shen Jiutai: I'll be fine... just gonna sit a spell...
Sabrina McGee: comm: Sorry, Xiao Li.. Cap'ns out of it.. We're closed tight! Get us out of here!
Lexi Vargas: "I really need about a yard of gauze and a shower"
Xiao Li: Dang ran!
