Oh God we're all gonna die!

*Grabs semi-evil mop and begins banging on the door*

*From the eating area, PR senses Mai's loud cry, and wanders down to the greenhouse, he puts a hand on the lock and closes his eyes...

Using his Psychic abilities, PR senses the lock, using his mind, he moves through it, feeling its function, finding the pressure points, the release...once he is confident he knows what to do, PR uses his telekinetic abilities to gently shift the metal inside, and with a click the lock pops open. PR opens his eyes* Yes!

I did it. *PR opens the door* Y'all are all free now! And come on, dinners gettin cold.

* TheRealMe is dozing in his chair, dreaming of chocolate rivers teeming with large angry crabs, all missing one claw, when he is startled awake by a loud metallic thud. *

Huh? What?

* TheRealMe looks this way and that. As he happens to be sitting in the control chair of the Sereni-Tree’s observatory, this causes the great dome to turn back and forth, swinging the high-powered telescope with it. A myriad tiny motors grind to bring the device into a sharp focus on the large circular sphere which has impacted the Sereni-Tree. TheRealMe stares through the telescope into the cockpit of Emma’s sphere, directly at Emma’s face, which is magnified to appear three stories tall. *

AHHHHH!

Uh, I mean, wow! Like a bad IMAX dream!

Uh, I mean… Greetings! Hold on, please. It appears that your craft has been trapped in our hyperspace wake!

* TheRealMe secures the telescope, closes the clamshell doors on the observatory, and rushes to the Bridge. *

Static, are you aware that…

* From the pilot dome above the bridge come sounds from Static and ThatWeirdGirl that suggest that neither is aware of much of anything. *

Uh, right. I’ll just handle this myself, then.

* TheRealMe hops into one of the stations on the bridge, taps the control surface before him, and waits while a pair of metal and plastic gauntlets descend from the ceiling. He carefully fits his hands inside them, activating the Sereni-Tree’s as-yet-unseen external waldoes. A pair of huge metallic arms pop out from the sides of the Sereni-Tree. Their giant hands reach for Emma’s sphere and grip it securely. TheRealMe frowns as he examines some sensor readings, then mutters to himself: *

I think that’s too big to fit in our hanger bay.

* TheRealMe slowly maneuvers Emma’s ship over to the main airlock. *

Computer, activate main airlock external grapples.

Main airlock external grapples activated.

Mate airlocks.

Not until we’ve been out to a nice restaurant, first.

* TheRealMe frowns, wondering who has been messing with the computer’s AI functions. *

CONNECT airlocks.

Airlocks connected. Automatic atmo cycling engaged.

* TheRealMe deactivates the waldoes, departs the Bridge, and climbs down to the floor of the Common Room. With purposeful strides he makes his way over to the main airlock, and presses a control next to the door. It opens. *

Emma, welcome aboard the Sereni-Tree! I’d give you a guided tour, but I already wrote all that down toward the top of our previous thread, and it’s much too long to repeat here. You can find it by using the back-link at the top of this thread.

Uh, you said something about champagne?

*Soul walks down to the airlock, his bow at the ready.*

Well, I am the Security Chief, after all. It's my job to make sure that us here all stay safe and...hey, is that wine?

*Soul runs off, following the smell of fermenting wine and a rather delicious smelling dinner. He turns and yells over his shoulder as he runs.*

Welcome aboard, Emma!

PR! Thank you so much for getting the greenhouse opened.

Now everybody who isn't me, out! Well, PR, you can stay.

*Mai, J7, the Kayley Clone, and whoever else is in there, all head out, glad for their freedom. Mia goes off in search of some chocolate*

I think there's some behind the bar Mai!

*Serenity grabs Cozen as he tries to escape unnoticed*

Empty your pockets. All of them.

*She helps Cozen to do so...Several pomegranates later...*

Okay, Cozen, take these grapes and go do your wine-making thing. And don't let me ever catch you, your parrot, or any of your clones in here again!!

*She realized that admonishing Cozen is wasting breath, but still...*

Now let's see what we need for our big party...

*She and PR gather what they need and leave to head back to the kitchen*

PR, can you lock the door behind us, please?

*PR does his thing. The door locks.*

(to self) that is so cool!

*heads back to kitchen. Much slicing, dicing, baking and frying ensue*

Rat! Oh Rat! I REALLY need a key to my own greenhouse! I can't rely on PR to let me in every time I need a tomato.

Oh, and HI Emma! So nice to meet you. I'm no longer the newbie!

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain how I got here! So I guess I came on with my brother, CallMeAth, but was so busy setting up my greenhouse that no one saw me for awhile. That makes a bit of sense. (and I guess that's all you need around here. Just a dash.)

*jake7, happy to be out of the greenhouse, heads for the kitchen to partake of something other than the three tomatoes she's already eaten. She gets a plate of food and sits down at the table*

Mmm. My compliments to the chef(s)!

*Hungrily, she makes fast work of her dinner. Full, she waddles to her room to sleep off the food*

Your welcome!

*In the kitchen, the cooking is going well...*

I know it's lazy, and I shouldn't really do it...

*PR looks to the knives and they rise up out of the pot, and start chopping vegetables while the frying pan suddenly gives itself a good shake.*

But there are only two of us, and we're cooking for so many!

*PR starts putting vegetables in to pans*

*Once most of the prep work is done, PR is stirring the sauce, and his head slowly turns to the door.* Emma...

*He slowly walks over to the door, leaving the cooker, and then goes out and down into the cargo bay where he sees most of the crew - minus Static and TWG, who must be off rebelling in their cyber-love - and he sees that Cozen's parrot is pecking at the Simon-clones head asking him "Who's a pretty boy then?", and in the middle of the chaos, PR sees Emma.*

Emma! Hello! Golly gosh it's been a while! What are you doing out here?
