(near the town of Bodie, on Whitefall)
*A man sits in a dark corner, stroking the head of his oh so expensive black striped tiger that has been with him since birth, watching the events in front of him unfold.*
Interesting crew he's got here*he thinks to himself*
*The man puts down his drink and places a hand on the six shooter on his hip*
Can't be having this getting outta hand and disturbing or evening, now can we? *he whispers to his companion*

...Zoe clonefigments. Good gorram but they're hot, ain't they!
Right. The whole clone creation trip is much easier to maintain when their purposes are pleasurable. Heh. For all that, the Wash-clone, though imbued with copious amounts of joy, is troublesome to maintain.... Seems to want to not be there.... Strange.
The steak with broccoli dinner has restored sufficient ferric levels. And that's the trick baby: iron. Guess I'm feelin' good enough to restore a clonefigment for MontanaGirl.
*Outside the infirmary, a clump of dust resolves into a Jayneclone attempt. Oddly, the figment does not work out quite as planned.*
*MG is suddenly confronted by an apparition that for all the world appears to be...
... a cozenclone?!*

'Thanks for the save guys.', Soul says gratefully, 'I thought I was a goner.'
There is a moment of awkward silence, then Safe speaks up 'Anybody got any ideas as to what to do now?'
'Heck, I'm fresh out. I'm running on nothing here. Did anyone think to carry some food?' Jazaf asks

...
*stares a minute or two more.
...What...the hell.
*Something in the back of his mind itches. he stares into the red liquid that seems to have appeared on the inside of SereniTREE's hull. He places his right hand against the surface. It is thick, sticky. He wipes his hand against the bulkhead, leaving a long red print, looking like dragged blood. He reaches forward with his left hand. The red fluid parts down the whole length to the arkham, opening a tube. he walks in, the suface solidifying under his feet, his left hand falling to his lightsaber.*
So be it.

*Buried under a pile of mutants, Darth Ath has time to reflect on all the horrible things he'd like to do to regular Ath, before one of them takes a chunk out of his leg.
The only thing keeping him from screaming is his Sith training. However, he can't say the same when one of the tentacles wraps around his forarm and breaks both bones.
Using his anger, DA creates a giant Force shockwave, sending mutants flying (think Matrix: Reloaded, just not so lame). He then leaps, (again, with the Force) landing near the top of the valley where TRM and crew held off the mutants. He lays there for a while, trying to regain what little strength he has left.*
Do you mind telling why the 
you dropped me in the middle of those things?
To keep you away from the Tower. Only one man deserves to get to the top, and you don't have any revolvers.
I notice your friends didn't exactly rush to save you. Or were you hoping to get us killed? Oh, how noble.
As long as I kept you from the Tower, it's a risk I was willing to take.
*Their conversation is interrupted by the sound of the mutants making their way up the path towrads DA's position. DA chuckles.*
Well, looks like you may get your wish after all.

Anybody here got their wrist-watch communicators?

(The Lee crew, in the town of Bodie, on Whitefall:)
TheRealMe goes flying through the holographic window of the saloon in Bodie. He lands roughly in the unpaved road outside, face in the dirt. He is somewhat annoyed.
“Well, if you didn’t know about Emma, just SAY so!”
TheRealMe is somewhat worried about Monkeytail letting loose his full Jedi powers upon the simple, ignorant inhabitants of….
Then Monkeytail comes flying out of the same window.
Jake7 and Needleseye, protected by the former’s force field, walk backward out of the saloon’s swinging doors, wary of harming the drunken inhabitants inside.
TheRealMe looks up from his prone position in the road, to see an unfamiliar person nearby, standing next to a huge tiger! TheRealMe gets to his feet, dusts himself off, and adjusts his white hat, just as Rat flies out of the saloon’s holographic window.
TheRealMe tips his hat to the stranger. “Greetings, friend! I am TheRealMe!”
Just then, TheRealMe feels a disturbance in the Force.
“Ath?”
TheRealMe, First Officer of the Sereni-Tree

"Greetings TheRealMe, I'm known as N0Skillz around these parts. These folks around here aren't to friendly , eh? Got the hole in my ship to prove it..."
N0Skillz notices the look on TheRealMe's face as he says
Quote:
“Ath?”
"Huh?"
N0Skillz looks through his binoculars in the direction TheRealMe suddenly turned, and saw a figure in the distance, who seemed to be in a smidge of trouble.
"A friend of yours?"
