/me sits in the animal holding area with some of the lovely ladies of the tree, idly passing the time. he sits as close to mai as he can without being on top of her.
Do you ever just listen to animals, y'know, really listen? Like right now those birds are fighting over where to build their nest. She bird doesn't want it close to her friend's nest...she thinks he bird has the hots for her friend. She's jealous. Or take that turtle over there. He just said the girl with the food, that's you Serenity, is very, uh, mm, oh dear. Moving along.
Oh, wait. I think I hear a kissie. I'm just now starting to get the gist of their "speech." This one's shouting, pleaing...
/me leans over and lets loose a 
with mai, then grins
Well that one, that one was saying free me!

Boros; Needys Crew:
Inside the vast hanger, the dusty silence is broken briefly by a shuffling, and then all is still again.
The hanger is roughly 60meters by 100meters. Shuttles of various designations line both of the long walls. There are two garage type doors, one at far end, flanked by a smaller personnel door and one midway along the side wall. The only other door is a personnel door at the other end of the hanger and it is ajar.
From the other side of the side garage door, the roar of an engine grows louder. There is a scream of rubber on asphalt and the side garage door crashes in followed by an Alliance military truck. The truck shudders to a stop amid the wreckage of the door, the engine smoking and knocking before finally dying.
Shadowy shapes swarm the truck, dragging the occupants out and back into hiding. Silence settles over the hanger again.
At the far end of the hanger, the personnel door bursts inward, nearly jumping off its hinges. Safe pokes his head around the jam, quickly scanning the interior.

Boros:
Safe stands outside the hanger next to an open door, his back against the wall. Jacks stands on the other side of the door beside Citizen and Bride7 stands next to Safe. Bide6 sits slumped against the wall in between Safe and Bride7.
A small ring of flame appears in the air before them.

Bride6 laughs. "Hi, You!"
"Ah, good! You ARE there! It would be most convenient to us if you could make it into space, but we could probably make it down to you. What is your location on Boros?"
Safe never got used to TRM’s talent during the Arkham affair, so it still surprised him. “We're at a hanger on the outskirts of Boros Prime. Looks like we have a way off this rock. We should be air born in about ten…”
The portal closes before Safe can finish.
Safe quickly checks the hanger again then signals to Jack.
Jack and Citizen enter the hanger crouched, guns ready. Jack signals all clear and Safe and Bride7 carry bride6 into the hanger.
Crouching inside the door, Safe whistles softly in awe at the line of shuttles.
Jack draws Safes attention to the ruined truck halfway up the hanger.
“Hey, that looks like the truck I saw Mister Needy get into.” Bride6 whispers.
The hanger is quiet and there is no movement from the truck.
“Citizen, you and Bride7 wait here. Keep an eye on the door; make sure no one comes in. Jack and I are going to scout the hanger”
Safe and Jack just about reach the truck when a man steps out from behind a shuttle beside the truck, clearing his throat.
“See, I knew where you were going. I must say though, it’s been an… exciting run.”
Safe and Jack both level their guns on the newcomer.
“Ah ah ah… You don’t think I’d come here alone or without insurance do you?”
The man snaps his fingers and two Alliance guards step out of the shadows, one holding Amy the other, a groggy looking Needy.
“I have the other two as well. Now, are you ready to come along quietly?”

On the descending miniaturized Bonaparte:
"My portal connection was cut off! Sorry, couldn't hold it open."
TheRealMe sighs.
"Bride5, adjust our course to bring us near Boros Prime!"

*twg smiles at her big friend, then turns to Soul*
Okay, so here’s what I figure we’ll do...
*insert montage of voiceover describing actions that turn out to actually be what everyone is doing*
I’m going to hula hoop to the bridge. Ervin, you’re going to follow me doing the can-can. Soul, hang back and take out the confused and stunned personnel we encounter.
*as the strange team of a hula hoping girl, dancing Yeti, and arrow shooting savior make their way towards the bridge, the girl stops in her tracks*
PR? What the…you go off, by yourself, to do goodness knows what…you could be hurt or lost or dead! What were you thinking young man? You weren’t! I find you on a fraking Alliance cruiser in uniform? You are going straight to your room when we get off this bucket heap. Do I make myself clear?
*Soul, Ervin, and Seryn stare and stifle giggles*

"...turn right at the corner then skip two blocks...no, SKIP, the hopping-like thing kids do...Why? Why not?"

she smiles, PR looks unsure.
'ok, but I still vote laughing gas'
'If we find some between here and wherever they are preparing the tanks, laughing gas it is! But where are they keeping them? We need to find the water and we have to get there, soon...'
Seryn: What are you doing?
Come on... *He says, she starts to follow.* It's this way.

Serenitree infirmary:
SR reaches over and hits Sparky's reboot switch.
"I do so apologize for harming you sir. If there is any way I can make you more comfor..."
"Yes get me a ships communicator and then perform the task that you had to put on hold before you started poking me. Later we can have a serious man to robot talk about the three laws of robotics in regards to emergemcy medicine practices. And hand me that syringe."
SR takes a small bottle out of a pocket and sucks the contents into the syringe and then injects it into his IV. He sets the bottle on the tray with the surgical tools.
SR goes rigid as the solution hit his veins. His eyes bulge, teeth clench and that vein that sits in the center of his forehead pulses noticeably. His blood pressure which had been extemely low shoots up to borderline high. After a minute or so his body begins to relax.
A curious observer would see that the label on the bottle faded and peeling. It reads, "Liquid magma hot sauce. Regent's secret home recipe. Not for resale. Warning: mildly corrosive, highly flammable, do not exspose to air for extended periods. For novelty use only. Nine out of ten doctors polled declared our sauce not for fit for human consumption. Use at own risk."
Sparky walks back into the infirmary.
"Here is the communicator you asked for."
"Thanks, now about your chores." SR croaks out with a hoarse and thick voice.

OW! This baby's got quite a kick!
Ooh, hey! You guys wanna help me think of names? Soul and I are still debating that issue.
"I think so, Brain, but wouldn't the wings get in the way?"

Huh? *pulls away from LMD* What? Oh right public place. Umm yea so names.
I think you should name the baby Mai.
*gets a funny look from Serenity*
No? Ah well, I had to try.
How about Rianna for a girl or Ayden for a boy?
(not that i ever think about baby names, ever!)
