OOC: This can't be good. SR was going to get counseling when all the peril settled down and after all the armaments were built. It just goes to show, you just can't keep good help these days.
OOC: TheRealMe had also been looking forward to long, pleasant evenings with Washie spent engaged in counseling.

(ooc- 'counselling', is that what the kids are calling it nowadays? Where has Washie gone? We miss her!)
Seryn hangs back,watching out and keeping by Soul, smiling reassuringly whenever Serenity gains conciousness.
She watches as Citizen fiddles with his bomb gizmo and throws him a mock admiring glance as the sounds of the newly condemmed building reach them. She looks around the group for SR, benevolently choosing to forget that she's still mad at him, and realises he's no longer there. Frowning she creeps back the way they came a little, but he's not anywhere in sight.
Gone. For a long time now she'd had a very over developed sense of forboding. On her ship she'd always had a vague idea of when her men were in danger. She wasn't getting that feeling now... hopefully it was still working, and wherever he was he was ok. She briefly considers trying to find him, but realised with some chagrin that all she feel capable of is getting back to the tree and hibernating. Maybe cleaning her feet first.
She moves silently back towards the others, idly wondering if she'll have to have the foot cut off, and if peg legs are still in vogue for pirates.
In a low voice she addresses Soul,
"I'm not entirely sure what you're planning, but anything you want me to do just say it"

Hodgins: Your robot reminds me of you. You tell it to turn it stops. You tell it to stop it turns. You ask it to take out the garbage it watches reruns of Firefly.
FozzieWash, You know what I always say: sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug!
KermieMal, I never Know what the heck you're talking about.
FozzieWash, Hey, look! They're sending us free lumber!

The explosion causes quite a bit of confusion. There is no ball of fire, but the whump is heard and the ground shakes beneath them. All across the tarmac, armed men go running past their hiding place in the direction of the building they had just come from.
Soul looks over at Safe and Jenkins as the former man nods his head gently. Soul turns back as Seryn whispers to Soul in a low voice.

"Pairs. Pair up and head for the ISSCV. Try to be inconspicuous."
Seryn nods. Looking like a scene from Noah's Ark, the TREEers head two by two across the tarmac to the awaiting ISSCV. Finally all that is left is McQ and Soul carring Serenity.
"Walk beside me," McQ says. I'll try to block you from sight.
Soul nods and they walk to the ISSCV, not stopping until they are inside the hatch. As the others prep the ship for launch, Soul glances back outside to where Bear is holding Safe.
"Come on, Safe," Soul says under his breath. "I don't want to leave you behind."

Mantichorus: "So is there a reason they call you 'Soul'?"
Soul (after a long pause): "Yeah. Because I have one."

*JadeHand runs to the bridge with his new device and detailed instructions on installation. He thinks to himself, "We could fight them, or we could not be here when they get here. I'd rather confuse them than get shot at again." JadeHand arrives at the bridge and knocks at the door frame.*
"Hey guys. I think we can avoid this fight. Anybody wanna help me install this? It should fit in perfectly there, and plug in right there."

From down in Main Engineering, Jet calls up to the Bridge. “Hi. Hey, since Jadehand’s gizmo lets us turn the Sereni-Tree invisible now, I’ve programmed a crybaby to mimic the ship in every way. It has a hologram generator for visual spotting, radio and heat emissions, com chatter, even the same radar signiture. So we can launch the crybaby, activate our SEP device, and fly off wherever we want. Any bad guy who cares to look will think that Sereni-Tree is still in orbit. We can even make it look like Sereni-Tree exploded. Well, it’s ready if anybody is interested.”

OOC: McQ, that drunk fellow that you were carrying around was, I believe, none other than Cozen, the Infinite Goof. An avatar, no doubt, of the Trickster god.
