Jet smiles, breaks the oaty bar in half, and shares with SR.
"Thanks, Warren!"

On his way to the Bridge, TheRealMe talks into his com-link. “Jet, what is our situation down there?”
“Oh, well, Warren and I have life support and main power online. Also partial maneuvering drive. I was going to get power to a couple weapons next. Then maybe a stardrive."
“Thank you, Jet, that sounds fine. Who is Warren?”
“The sniper guy from the big fight. Trey sent him down to help.”
TheRealMe walks into the Sereni-Tree’s Bridge. He is surprised to find Quincey there, still in her vac-suit and slumped unconscious over a console. He relaxes when he convinces himself that she is merely asleep.
“Well, tough day for all of us. Ahem! Bride5, I’d like for us to move away from Boros, so if you could please…”
Quincey stirs fitfully in her dreams. TheRealMe shrugs, pats her gently on the head, and moves to another console. “Never mind. I’ll take care of it.”
TheRealMe, First Officer of the Sereni-Tree

SR takes up his canteen and feels by the weight it's empty. His expression is one of complete frustration. The dizzyness still continues. SR turns and sits on the floor with his back to the wall. He forces down the dry pasty trail mix and accepts the remaining half of the oaty bar from Jet, which he snaffles down quickly.
"Sorry, first food in a while, if you don't count a beer in the bar two hours ago."
And then the beer really hit him. SR with his back against the wall, wedged between his pack and the corner falls asleep.

Jet feels guilty chewing on her half of the oaty bar. Probably, Warren needed it more than she did. She goes into the locker room that is part of Main Engineering, finds a blanket, and drapes it over him.
"Thanks. I think I can take things from here."
Jet, Bride4

Unwanted, ignored, and out of place, Deuce leaves the Infirmary, goes down some stairs, and wanders about the devastation of the Common Room, disbelieving her own eyes.
“You mean I completely MISSED the greatest gorramn fight we’ve had here since I’ve been aboard?”
She kicks some rubble in frustration.
“Ouch!”

*Summoning the remaining reserves of his strength, cozen kidnaps Deuce to the Stockholm suite in the East Wing.*
Serenity: um, we could use some room service, if you could be so kind. As in: pretty-gorram please?!

On the psychic plane:
*JadeHand roams through the less than pleasant mind of "Heinz". Disturbed by many of the images that Heinz has stored behind a door labeled "happy thoughts". JadeHand moves forward and continues his work. He stops in front of a door with several locks and a sign that says "secrets". He cuts through the chains and opens the door. finding only a small 2 drawer file cabinet, and begins to go through the files.
Several minutes later he moves to the next room and continues his journey through one of the darkest minds he's seen in quite a while.*
"I think I better leave this guy alone in the future. But why is he so interested in..."
*Several of Heinz's personal demons round the corner, and JadeHand is back to work, losing his train of thought. Soon he's done all he can here and exits "Hienz".*
*He shakes the man's hand and gets a cold chill.*
"Sorry to have bothered you."
*Heinz snarls and fades away*
"Next?"
*Hours pass and JadeHand moves from mind to mind, completing his tasks. Soon, only one Figure stands before him.*
"Zoe. It looks like your the last one. Are you ready?"
*JadeHand holds the doorway forward. Zoe steps forward and gently takes it from him and places it back on the table.*
"Not today. I want to keep everything I have just the way they are. Just two big doors in there. Serenity Valley ,Once you've been there, you never leave. It stays with you 'til you die. And the other is my Wash. He's gonna stay with me too. I'll never lose any of him. Thank you. You did good. Go back to your friends."
*She places a hand on his shoulder and turns him to face the way he came in. The hand is pulled away and he turns back to say goodbye, but she's gone. JadeHand turns back and walks back the way he came. Slowly a small light becomes bigger as he approaches and steps through.*
On the Tree:
*JadeHand blinks and opens his eyes. His only thoughts are his own. The only voices are external. He takes a deep breath.*
"Hey guys."

"He's seen too much of life And there's no going back.
The loneliness calls him, And the edge which must be sharpened,
He's losing it. And he knows.
But there's a fighter in his mind and his body's tough
The years have been unkind, but kind enough." -Ocean Cloud (Marbles) -Marillion

Well, Cozy, I'm still kinda locked in This Land. BUT, when I get out (and find a bathroom, argh!) I'll get right on that. Since you asked so very nicely.
"I think so, Brain, but wouldn't the wings get in the way?"
