Things have been fairly quiet for the crew of Destiny of late. Stranded on an unknown planet after the ship crashed, the crew of Destiny realise that if they’re ever going to get back in the air, they will need supplies.
Whilst Amy and Flechette fix what they can inside the ship, Safe and Serenity lead fellow crewmembers Soul, Needy, Jack and Flechette’s love-bot Jayne out into the blistering cold in search of the nearest town, in hopes of fetching said supplies.
Of course, it’s not long after they’ve reached the town before the trouble starts
Whilst Needy breaks into and searches the first bar they come to, the rest of the “away team” crew head for the next bar where they settle in and order drinks. There they attract the attention of Willie, a young female mechanic who seems to take particular interest in Safe
Upon catching up with his crewmates, Needy soon gets caught up in a bar room fight after making a pass at the girlfriend of a thug named Brett, who proceeds to beat the miniaturised boy whore up until he is abruptly knocked out, thanks to Willie.
Willie leads the crew back to her salvage yard where they start to pick up the pieces they need.
Soon, all but two of the “away team” head back for the ship leaving Needy and Jazaf arguing about who Willie likes more.

Meanwhile, back on Destiny, Flechette and Amy begin to search every nook and cranny of the ship, secret hidey holes, secret panels and hidden compartments. Sounds like fun.

Elsewhere on the ship, Dr Me has some fun with the not-so-human crewmembers – Original Kimmel, the Lexa Doig ‘bot and three (initially unidentified) beautiful females. Using The Machine, they take advantage of its elaborate body massager to relax.

After the return of the majority of the “away team”, Dr Me makes a stunning revelation as he introduces the three lovely ladies.
They are love-bots, created by the doctor using various parts found lying around the ship. Despite his assurance that they have been programmed with the Three Laws of Robotics, it’s not enough to calm the crew as they realise that one of them is Bubbles – reconstructed – the lovebot that had previously run amok on the ship and threatened to kill all of them.
Dr Me’s demonstration that Bubbles could no longer harm humans did nothing to warm them to the idea when the love-bot stabs OK in the gut.

Meanwhile, Willie, along with Needy, Jazaf and some ship-parts, has pulled up in her power wagon. Amazed by the beautiful ship, she is delighted as Jazaf offers to give her the tour, unaware of what is going on inside.

Meanwhile, at that closed bar...

Three men stand at the front door of Mack's Bar.
Two of them are large menacing looking goons, both with shorn hair, the third noticeably different. He is shorter; measuring in at about 5ft8 compared to their 6ft4 statures, and has long scraggly hair and a scruffy beard.
His name is Mack, and he is the owner of the store.

He has only just unlocked the door and started to open it by the time the goons had pushed him in hastily.

“We ain’t got all day!” the goon named Fish growled. “Where’d you keep the stash?”

“Yeah, yeah sure. One moment” the jittery owner replies, walking over to the back room of the bar and entering.

There is silence as the two goons look impatiently at each other. After a minute of waiting with no word from Mack, one of them calls out.

“What’s taking so long?!”

There is no answer.

Fish signals to his colleague to check it out.

There in the room cowers Mack.

“I… I… it was here.” He stutters

“What you talkin’ about?!” the goon snarls

“It was here, right here. Somebody’s taken it. I swear, it was here before I left”

“What’s going on?” Fish asks, appearing in the open doorway

“It was here, I swear” the scared owner repeats

“Looks like we’ve got a problem” the second goon adds with a hint of sadistic pleasure.

Mack rises slowly. “The back door… it was open. Someone must have got in and stolen it…”

The goons advance on him

“I can get it back, I swear. And you’ll still make your appointment on time. Please…”

Fish grabs Mack by his collar, and raises him up so that he is barely on his tiptoes

“You’d better. For your sake”

Fish lets go of his collar suddenly, sending Mack crashing to the floor.

“So… who are we going to pay a visit?” the unnamed goon asks with a wicked grin.

Safe slumps into a seat beside Soul.

"Are you sure it's a good idea to let Dr. Me tinker with those... walking toasters?"

Safe grabs the bottle and takes a big swig and promptly spits it all back out again.

"GAH!! I thought you were gonna put that bottle of cranberry juice away??"

Soul shrugs. "What's the worst that could happen?" He tries to say it seriously, but Safe can tell that the Captain is hiding a grin.

"You know," Safe replies, "I'm learning that that's a question best not asked around here."

Soul finally lets the grin show and passes Safe the correct bottle. Safe grabs it and takes a chug.

"GAH!! What in the good gorram is this?" Safe cries. "It's worse than the cranberry juice!"

"Milk. It's good for your bones."

Safe mumbles something under his breath and grabs at another bottle, this time sniffing it to make sure it's what he's looking for.

"That's the stuff."

Hi All,
Thanks for the recap, Needy! And all the humor, Safe, Needy.
When I'm not so tired, I'll think of some funny things for Willie to see as she enters the ship. I imagine people will be on their *best* behaviour (haha)

Safe, can you give me a link so I can read the fun stuff I was involved in on your other thread? I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Amy, it's a lot of reading on the Sereni-Tree thread if you're up for it, other wise, I can e-mail the specifics to you. I use MS Word.
