Kelly relaxes and starts kissing back, not needing an arrow to match Ath's enthusiasm.*
*As fast as it hit him, the arrow's effect fades. All of a sudden, Ath realizes he's kissing Kelly in the middle of a room full of people. He pulls back immediately, embarrassed.*
"Uh...I just remembered. I have to go check the orbit. Make sure everything's ok."
*Ath's voice trails off as he heads out the door toward the Bridge.*

*Affecting a casual posture, cozen loads the fifth round into the M40A3, then raises the rifle to point at an imaginary target far in the distance as if to show he actually knows how to dial in the Unertl scope. Of course, Molly the Parrot chooses just that moment to test out the barrel's perchworthiness. Too late, he recall's Jadehand's instructions to make sure the safety is on, and to never have the finger in front of the trigger unless you mean to shoot.*
Huh. Oh-fer 2.
*One of the rum bottles explodes before anyone registers the cracking report of the gunshot. The rifle's kick slams cozen hard to the ground. The bird's frightful squawking as it flaps madly away is nearly as loud as the gun itself.*

Rah-rah, sis boom-bang!

Standing a little behind 'Heinz', 'Falconi' leans over and in a low voice argues the wisdom of lingering long enough to sit and drink.
'And are you sure that rum would be Heinze drink of choice?'
'trust me....'
'oh, I trust you, its your mouth when its met rum that worries me...'
'Heinz' throws her an evil look. and she lets it reat.
She watches as the flunkie, for she's realised that he's not the guy in commmand of the base, as he try's to count the money with out seeming to distrust the buyers.
'Just get one of those counting machines out and have done with it man!'
'n..no, its ok, it looks to all be here.'
With a little bit of false confidence, the guy opens the the other cases and looks at the stacks in side. bravo you! I just hope you are on leave when the real Heinz shows up he closes them a smiles, waiting for whichever turns up first, the shipment or the glasses.

Quincey waits in the idling pseudo Ocean Cloud, stifling a yawn, drumming her fingers on the side of the control panel. Maybe this adventure stuff isn't as exciting as she had thought.

Then Quincey hears the report of a rifle echoing from outside, and she is suddenly alert! She remembers what Jadehand said:

Jadehand wrote:
Quincy, Keep her ready for immediate departure, with one hand on the SEP. Anything goes wrong, you take this ship, and you come and rescue us.
It sounds like something has gone wrong.
But before she can do anything, the person she thought was ItsAWash comes forward from the back of the craft, peeling off a sticker from her chest. Washie's form starts to melt and shift, and Quincey is surprised to discover that it's not Washie at all!
Quincey, Bride5

"Needy indicated that the tunnel opens in a back alley near the hanger. Citizen, you, Jack and Bride6 lead the way, "Stan", Bride7 and I will take up the rear. We’ll try to keep the Alliance at bay. If we go down, for any reason, you keep going." Safe says, looking back down the tunnel towards the explosion. Jack catches the look in Safe’s eye and nods slightly, suddenly all business.
"Let’s move."
A nervous Bride6 checks her weapons in preparation for the run to the hanger. She flinches when she feels the light touch of a hand on her shoulder, and she looks back.
It is Bride7, who whispers, “Look, Bride6, before we get going, in case anything happens, there’s something that I want you to know.”
Bride6 smiles. “Really?”
Bride7 nods and continues, still very quiet. “Yes. I’m glad you’re going in before me.” She smirks. “It’ll gives me something to hide behind when the shooting starts!” Bride7 chuckles to herself as she resumes her place in the back of the group.
Bride6 blinks, and outrage creeps into her whisper. “Are you saying that I’m FAT??”
Bobby Sue, Bride6

Bride6 looks over her shoulder at Bride7 and sees the stranger has taken in the whole exchange. They make eye contact. The stranger in very short order makes a serious of gestures and facial expressions that roughtly translate into the following message.
"You look just fine, a few curves look good on you. She doesn't know what she's talking about. Now pay attenion or you'll be a beautiful corpse."
Bride6 turns back to the front and rather than feeling heavy suddenly feels light on her feet.
"What was that all about?" whispers Jack.
"Pep talk." replies SR
"Cute, stay sharp."
"Ja Wohl"

*whispers to Falconi*
The rum is for them, keep 'em off guard
*hears gunshot and watches bottle explode*
.......so much for that eh?
*turns towards the now very concerned looking 'flunky'.*
Well, seems my new gunhand is getting a bit twitchy, he hates to wait, and tends to take it out on the closest thing he doesn't like. He had a bad night with the alcohol last night, but he really dislikes people that keep him waiting, so if we could just get things moving along.....
*the 'flunky' stutters out another 'yes sir' and runs off to a corner of the warehouse and returns with a dolly containing 4 large cases of Platinum.
JadeHand gives LMD and Mai a look until he catches their attention then quickly moves his eyes back towards the man struggling with the dolly. They nod and take the dolly from the man and roll it onto the Cloud. Falconi Steps into the Cloud and pulls the weapon out of Cozen's hands, giving him a look that could kill.*
Well, it looks like everything is in order here, enjoy the rum! and here's a little something extra for you for the trouble.
*'Heinz' pulls another bottle from his bag and hands it to the man, who's eyes go from near terror, to truly greatful. He runs off with his gift just as armed guards start to appear from around a corner, he stops and waves his hands in front of them as if explaining. With a mildly disappointed look, they turn and return to from where ever they came.*
*'Heinz leaps onto the cloud as the door closes*
All aboard, lets move........Quickly!
* he gives Cozen a quick kick and a disappointed look, as Quincy takes off activating the SEP to cover their retreat. He looks around.....*
Where's Washie?
*The ManInBlack steps out from the bridge, a shocked look crosses the face of "Heinz" as he pulls off his nametag and reverts to JadeHand, the shocked look remains*
Roberts? What's wrong? Is there a problem with my....sorry ,....your ship?

Well, not smooth, but effective, Bracing even!
Everyone here? everyone ok? *get angry* You! Grabs Cozen by the front of his shirt 'theres a little known expression that.. goes... so...'
Seryn drops Cozen and turn towards the ManinBlack, her stomach fluttering up and braincells gathering together to wave their goodbyes...
'huh...'
Somewhere in the back of her mind, her internal flirt is working away, regardless of the fact that none of her systems are responding, other than the fingers necessary to peel off the sticker, and change her back to herself.
only, crows the flirt, with improvements...
'huh...'

Once she is certain everybody is aboard and the hatch is secure, Quincey guns the engine of the Ocean Cloud and it leaps into the sky. She activates the SEP field.
She glances at Cozen, and under her breath whispers, "Jinx..."
Quincey, Bride5
