*Soul rounds the corner just in time to see the EI swipe at Serenity. To his relief, both her and Molly take flight just in time to awoid the swipe of its claws.*

Stay up there, Serenity! I don't wanna see you hurt!

*Soul puts on an extra burst of speed, but it seems like the EI manages to stay just out of his line of sight.*

Wait...

*As soon as the thought enters his mind, he acts on it. From his belt, he produces a line of thin cable and hooks it to the end of the arrow. Diving to the left, he braces his feet against the left wall, and dives through the wall to his right, phasing through the steel. As soon as he passes through the wall, he solidifies in the air over the open common area. He pulls back on the bow and fires the arrow upwards. It barely sinks into the ceiling before he grabs the cable and swings towards the far wall. At the last second before he plows into the wall, he lets go of the cable and phases through the wall. He solidifies as he lands on his feet in the corridor on the other side. Pulling out another arrow, he takes aim down the corridor just as the EI comes running into view.*

Suprised to see me?

*The EI lets out a screech and tries to stop, but Soul pulls back on the bow and lets the arrow fly.*

*Serenity finds the nearest comm*

Attention crew. This is Serenity. There is a loose EI on board. Repeat: there is a loose EI on board. Last seen running around near the kitchens. Some menfolk, weapons and heroics would not be amiss right about now.

(Soul posted before me, so I'll just edit this to say...)

*She flies up and joins Molly sitting on the hanging chandelier, where they have a spectacular view of Soul's stunning heroics.*

He raises his personal wrist comm to his lips.**

Soul, hang in there! I'm on the way!

**Static hits a button on the comm unit with the heel of his hand, opening a direct connection with the ship's main computer**

Eddie/James, (because the computer speaks in a voice that is Eddie Izzard impersonating James Mason)[I need to you to jam any outgoing signals! There's an intruder on board, and I don't want him calling for help!!!

**Eddie/James responds in a slightly concerned tone, "That's all well and good I suppose, but if you'd told me that a moment ago, I could've prevented the signal that's already gone out. I fear this could be a bit dodgy very shortly."

**Static grimaces as he runs.**

This is gonna get ugly.

*clutches his medical bag once more*

Okay, first patient of the night... Emma. Lie still, I'm just going to clean and dress your head wound. This may sting a little. Oh, you're unconscious.

Probably just as well as this is actually going to hurt quite a lot.

*tends*

Right, my last patient has literally vanished without a trace. I can try and track him or just trust that he has a plan in mind.

Static, any chance we could move the ship to avoid the rescue party that the monster's mates are bound to send in? Last I saw, the engines were being stripped away but repairs were being undertaken. It won't get rid of them but it should slow them down. The female reaver was bad enough but these guys seem just plain mean. And there's lot of them.

I swear that if we survive this assault we've gotta dance a jig.

* TheRealMe is only semi-conscious when Soul sticks his head into the Security Office, then departs. TheRealMe shakes his head. It hurts. He opens his bleary eyes and looks around. *

Huh. Feels like I got smacked upside the head with a plot device!

* TheRealMe views the Spamic carnage around him (and on him) and realizes that Rat must have been fighting the EI with his Spamgun on full auto. What a mess! TheRealMe moves over to the ever-fainting Emma and ensures that she is okay. He carefully picks her up and departs the messy Security office. *

Computer! Intruder alert!

Intruder alert acknowledged.

* A distinctive alarm starts sounding on the Sereni-Tree. *

Computer, seal off critical function areas.

Acknowledged. Bridge, Main Engineering, and Weapon stations sealed, requiring positive ID to access.

Computer, add main airlock to the critical function list.

Acknowledged. Main Airlock sealed.

There, now the EI won’t be taking Emma’s ship.

* TheRealMe looks at Emma in his arms. *

Emma? Emma? Hello? Sheesh! Not even Kaylee fainted so much! Say, have you ever considered giving them back their ship?

* When there is no response, TheRealMe drapes Emma over one shoulder and pulls his high-tech squirt gun. He inserts the Pepsimilk magazine. *

Well, let’s see if we can make it to the Bridge. Huh. Wonder where Rat is?

Oh! Hi, Nugget. Here, you carry Emma.

* TheRealMe pulls a second Pepsimilk pistol and moves out. Before long, SimonWho is encountered. *

Doctor! Excellent. Say, could you take a look at Emma? Thanks!

* [See previous post.] *

Grey is gone AGAIN? We need to tie that guy down!

Well, it’s time to gather everyone on board.

* TheRealMe makes it to the Bridge, enters his personal code, walks inside, and locks the door behind him. He goes to one of the non-pilot control consoles and activates the grappler arms. TheRealMe inserts his hands into the gauntlets that descend from the ceiling. He also activates the holographic display so he has a viewpoint of what he’s doing outside. *

* The grappler arms on the outside of the ship reach out and grab the old clubhouse. With minimal effort, the mighty mechanical arms gently and carefully uproot the small structure and pull it near the Sereni-Tree. *

Computer! Open main cargo hatch!

Acknowledged. Main cargo hatch open.

* Using the control gauntlets, TheRealMe moves the old clubhouse into the Sereni-Tree’s cargo bay and retracts the grappler arms. *

Computer! Close main cargo hatch!

Acknowledged. Main cargo hatch closed.

* TheRealMe waits long enough to swat away any EI who try to get into the ship, then he deactivates the grappler arms and pulls his hands out of the gauntlets. *

There! Now we’re all aboard. Mister Static, you may lift off any time.

* TheRealMe keys the com-link from the bridge. *

Grey? Grey? TheGreyJedi, please respond!

* Sigh. Switches channels. *

Jet? Needleseye? Have you got Main Engineering covered? It's about time to test those "creative modifications" that we made that hook us up with Emma's ship!

*montanagirl started getting up to go back and help with the crisis (or is it crises?) at the Treehouse. Suddenly, the floor under her feet began moving, the resulting motion throwing her back across Jazaf in a somewhat compromising position. And also caused her to spill her Pepsi.

*

Oof! Sorry, Jaz! Normally I'd be happy to stay here in this semi-compromising position, but there's trouble afoot!

*Opens clubhouse door to find that they are now in the cargo bay of the Sereni-Tree.*

Well that's handy!

*Hurries back to her room and starts digging through various drawers, under the bed, etc, until she finds her handy-dandy protective headband sitting in its glass (with a little bit of Pepsi for sustenance). Puts on headband, then gets Legolas knives out of closet and straps them across her back. Pauses to grab super-soaker squirt gun from the toy box.*

This might come in handy.

*Heads back out of her room, then pauses in the corridor when she realizes she doesn't know exactly what's going on or where the bad guys are.*

Oh well, I'm sure I'll find out soon enough.

Are we fighting again? cool, cool.

*has been away doing IRL things. IRL things not ice cream boy, surprisingly enough.*

Carry on.
