This is one increasingly eerie-ass day.

TWG-We have no idea. We both woke up in our beds and have no idea how we got there. There don't seem to be any menfolk onboard-none that we can find. We think maybe they got kidnapped! Wonder if we should check engineering or the bridge, see if everything's working or if we can find out any info.
Got any idea how to fly this thing?
Also...
*Serenity runs over to the nearest comm*
All personnel, please report to the commonroom. Repeat. All personnel, please report to the commonroom.
Then we'll definitely know who's here.
Something VERY weird is going on.

*Static sits in his control chair and begins tapping keys.*
"Computer, are you there?"
The Eddie Izzard/James Mason flight control computer comes to life.
I'm here, but I'm afraid I won't be much good to you. I've been disconnected from all spatial navsats, and my charts have been erased. Also, I've lost lidar, radar and sonar capability.
"That's fine, Computer," Static says reassuringly, "How about atmospheric sensors. Are those working?"
Checking, yes. They are. The atmosphere is just fine. Breathable without any assistance. Pressure is one atmosphere. It's bloody Earth, innit?
Static suppresses a smile at the Computer's frustrated and sarcastic tone, "Yes, Computer. What I need you to do is scan our area for any sort of vapor trails as might be left by a departing spacecraft. Then tell me if you can follow it."
The Computer works for a few seconds and then pipes up.
I've located something that may very well be what you're looking for. I'm unable to plot a course, however.
"That's fine, computer. Are you still able to display a 'safe corridor' on my HUD for manual flight?"
Checking. Yes.
"Good." Static says confidently, "Begin engine start sequence, if they've not been locked out, and release manual control to me." He looks over his shoulder at the remaining menfolk.
"Let's go get our women."
Closing his eyes for a moment, he thinks, "Hang on, my beloved. I'm comin' for you, and this time I won't leave you."

the women settle into the common room…all of them visibly upset. Serenity, Mai, Jake7, Lissa, Ebo, MG, Emma, and twg…
Where are Needle and Jet? And Mal?

Um, I don’t think they are missing…I think we are.
*twg absentmindedly begins to wander around the commons*
Okay, the last thing I remember is pouring a glass of wine for Simon. He took it..no, he didn’t. Soul took the glass from me and then, but Soul wouldn’t, he attached something to my neck. The I woke up here. Anyone else?

Wiping the sleep from his eyes, Jazaf limps out of his chamber in time to see Simonwho rushing by.'Where's the gorram fire?' Jazaf asks, still a bit sleepy. Simon, without turning, shouts back 'I dunno, but whatever it is caused quite a ruckus. They want everyone on the bridge!'
Jazaf limps as quickly to the bridge as he can, yet when he gets there the meeting is over. Static is at the ships controls, Soul is watching, with eyes as big as saucers, at something on his security cam footage and everyone else is busy finding something to do on the bridge. Jazaf manages to snag PR and asks for details.
'Soul, or, atleast someone who looks like Soul, has kidnapped all the women right from under our nose. The computer managed to find a vapor trail from a nearby ship, hopefully the one with our ladies onboard, and we are currently in pursuit.'
Jazaf heads back to his chamber. Knowing full well that he hasn't the electronic capabilites to assist in this part of the action.'Might as well prepare for whatever is ahead. Seems as good a time as any to try and so that stuff my Sensei taught me.' He closes his eyes, and begins his meditation.

Wait, TWG. You're saying Soul did something to you? But Soul was with me..but I woke up in my bed alone...But Soul wouldn't...I mean...he couldn't ...
*She suddenly remembers the pain in her neck this morning. She reaches behind her and feels the back of her neck. She can feel little marks, like sores. She goes over to TWG, looks at the back of her neck-three little marks, in a circle. She goes from person to person, checking the back of their necks. Everyone has these faint little marks.*
So, somebody... maybe Soul...did something to our necks and we all woke up in our beds and all the menfolk are gone.
This makes NO sense. I mean, we obviously haven't been kidnapped, we're still here on the Tree.
Mai: Maybe they did something to us to put us asleep while they took everyone else.
*Lissa starts crying because she's worried about Ath.*
Emma: I think I remember something-I saw Soul, too, right before I fell asleep...But would he take Needleseye and Jet and leave us? Or take us and leave them? *she starts to look woozie, but MG and Mai grab her and hold her up.
Serenity: Well, I think the best thing we can do is NOT PANIC and try to figure out what happened. Emma, since you're pretty familiar with ships in general, will you go to the bridge and take a look around, check out the vids and whatnot, see if they tell us anything?
*Emma nods weakly. Mai and MG help her walk towards the bridge*
TWG, what do you think we should do?
@-}--
(I hope I'm not being too bold with everyone, I'm just trying to move our plot along to catch up with the menfolk.)

*As they aide Emma to the bridge, Mai looks out the windows as they approach the cockpit.*
MG, can you stay here with Emma for a minute? I'm going to outside and look around a bit for some clues. *Thinks* Hmm... maybe it'd be best if someone comes with me. I mean if someone kidnapped the others who knows what's lurking out there.
*Quickly picks up the com and says "Hey girls, I'm headed outside to look around. I think it might be best someone comes with me, any volunteers?*
*Runs down the stairs to the cargo bay and walks over to the door release button. Maybe some fresh air will help me think. Mai pushes the button and nothing happens. Huh? That's strange. Maybe I didn't do it hard enough. Pushes down on the large red button with all her strength... the gorram thing still won't budge!*
ATTENTION CREW: ANYONE WITH TECHNICAL AND OR SUPERNATURAL ABILITES THAT CAN GET THIS FREAKIN' DOOR OPEN, PLEASE COME NOW!
I THINK WE'VE BEEN SEALED IN!

*Rat emerges from Emmas ship having just installed the "Amazing Shrinking Tech©". He pushes a button on a remote, Emmas ship shrinks to the size of a small marble! Rat picks up the tiny ball and puts it in his shirt pocket.*
This might come in handy!

*Keeps an arm around Emma while they look about the cockpit. Emma keeps having woozy spells, and mg would rather not have to try and patch her up if she should fall and hit something important.*
So Emma, what do you think?
*mg looks blankly around the cockpit. There are screens and blinking lights. Is that good or bad?*
Um, have I mentioned that I'm mechanically and technologically illiterate? I don't have a frelling clue up here.
