Its my computer not the site. I could look at the Tshirt (greatjob by the way) but when i tried to purchase one my computer took too long to bring all the stuff up and it timed out. i tried a few times but it wouldnt have it. My computers about 7 years old tho so its to be expected.
Anyway:
Wisp Returns to his room and turns on the cortex and finds a message from the girl in the gun store. He sighs in a comical way and says
"When one door closes someones legs open"
(sorry for the crudeness but it is meant to be funny not sexist)

Shuttlebay, Serenitree: SR is in overdrive working side by side with the DRDs making sure that the bay will be ready for the drop ship and the other absent shuttle. After twenty minutes of this things are looking better, but there is plenty of work still be done. SR stands back and looks over the situation. He comes to the realization that he needs more fullsize help. If things were different he would draft sparky. no such luck. SR switches on his comm-link.
"Hey Wisp if you can lend a hand clearing the shuttle bay it would be appreciated. If it makes the job any easier bring some beer with you."
Wisp arrives with a some large bottles of the ship's home brew and together he and SR work up a powerful thirst clearing the bay. Soon the bay is clear and ready for arrivals. SR toggles up TRM on the comm-link.
"V-mail for TRM from SR: Shuttle bay is back in business."
SR immediatly sets to a personal project. He builds a robot assitant, it's a larger frame than Sparky and it's not as polished, so SR names him Snarky. He sees to it that he is linked into the ship's communications system, has lights and a camera. SR programs him to view the three rules of robotics as more say guidelines so that Snarky will be able to perform trauma first aid without locking up. He and Snarky unload the Nelson and begin tinkering. Wisp is invited to hang out and help if the are no other tasks requiring his attention.

Soul watches as Safe, Jenkins, Grunt and Bear climb into the Dagger. He waits until they get airborne, and then with McQ's jetpack the two of them maneuver back inside the ISSCV. Soul grabs Citizen from the loading ramp and propels him back inside the shuttle, slapping the controls to close the ramp as he goes.
"Seryn, go!"

With more enthusisam than finess she accelerates rapidly, ignoring the designated sky route and the dozen or so near collisions with other vehicles.
"This baby can brake atmo can't it?"
She slows slightly, manouvering the transport into a better exit trajectory(sp?) then turns as much as possible to look to Soul.
"Where Safe? He needs to fly this thing! Are they ok?"
(ooc - right, I'm not entirely sure what the ship is all about, whats its capable of etc, if people want to write my parts from here on in to fit right, i'm happy to do that.)

OOC: Doin' just fine Seryn 
Inside the Dagger, Bear and Jennings jump into their seats, hands flashing across the controls. Bear grabs the yoke and the Dagger jumps into the air.
“This thing has a gun?” Safe asks looking around.
“Ya, but the Dagger is faster than anything they’ve got” Bear says.
“I don’t care how fast this hunk of gos se is, if we don’t cripple them now, they’ll hunt us,” Safe gestures to the ISSCV "and them, like a pack of starving wolves. Keep pace with the ISSCV. Grunt?”
“I’ve got it Safe.” Grunt runs back to the turret.
“Wait a minute!” Jennings barks “Why’re we taking orders from you? This is our ship…”
“Remember what happened last time you didn’t listen to me. Last time you thought you knew better?” Safe asks Jennings calmly and with a bit of humor.
“Ya…” Jennings pouts.
“What happened?”
“I got shot in the ass.”
“And…” Safe urges.
“When they pulled me back, you broke my thumb for not listening…” Bear guides the Dagger in behind the ISSCV, chuckling at Jennings.
As the two ships scream towards the black, Grunt fires back at the Blue Sun guards, destroying the remaining fighter and crippling the shuttle.
In the ISSCV, Cozen looks slyly at Seryn from the copilot’s chair. He produces some straps made of silk and starts to tie Seryn to the chair.
“Piss off!! Can’t you see now’s NOT the time?” Seryn says as the ISSCV shakes its way at full throttle. “Ummm… Guys? A little help here please?”
McQ stomps to the cockpit, reaching over; he raps Cozen on top of the head, knocking him out. Grabbing him by the scruff of the neck, McQ carries him back to the passenger compartment. Folding a bed down from the wall, McQ ties Cozen to the bed and folds it back into the wall.
Citizen drops into the copilots seat and flicks the nose guns to life, just as the two fighters following Sparky and his shuttle, appear.
Citizen fires taking out the wing on the one fighter, causing it to veer into the other fighter, the explosion takes out both fighters.
The ISSCV and the Dagger fly through the debris and into the calmness of the black. Sparky tucks the shuttle into formation with the other two ships.

Seryn shove her thumbs into her beltloops noncholantly, jabbers away happily, strolls like she hasn't a care in the world.
All the while she acutely aware of the fact that she's conspicuously free of shoes, that she's the least conspicuous of the lot of them, and that Needy, walking, stumbling alone beside her, seems to be seeing a whole lot of things that ain't infront of him.
He lurches slighlty, and she slips her hand through his arm, pulling him in the right direction.
"hey, less of the sauce for you on our next trip i think buddy!"
the interminable walk to the shuttle over, they enter thought the hatch left open for them. She drops Needy into a seat, snapping her fingers in front of his eyes, trying to get a reaction, and failing utterly. His eyes continue to look around, focusing on things that arn't there, but he slumps in the chair and the only other indicator of life is shallow breaths.
Needy's mind:
"What are you talking about?" Needy asks Serenity-form - the mysterious being that apparently was responsible for bringing him back from the dead.
"You think you're here by chance?" Serenity-form questions
"I'm here because Safe dropped me off in his spanking new ship"
"You're here because I gave you back your life."
"Oh... that part"
"And the reason for that... what do you imagine it is?" the seemingly enlightened being asks
"You tell me. You're the one who said you had all the answers"
"I brought you back because right now we're on the brink of a battle... a battle for control of the 'Verse as we know it"
"And this concerns me how?"
"You... you are at the centre of it"
"Typical!"
"You need to understand the truth before you are to move forward, before you take your place in the fight"
"I'm all for truth. Its the fighting that's got me a little worried."
"Why? You cannot be harmed. This body I have given you is capable of withstanding the firepower of any man-made weapons. There is nobody else more suited for the task at hand than you. This is why you were given this body, so that you may fulfil your purpose."
"And what if I don't want to fulfil my purpose?"
"It is unavoidable. To ignore your responsiblity would be to consign humanity to destruction."
Needy rolls his eyes and tilts his head to the side. "You know, I don't handle pressure well... and this is... PRETTY GORRAM INSANE!"
"Sorry. To reveal these things to you in such a way was inconsiderate of me, considering your lowly mind."
"Thanks" Needy replies with sarcasm.
"Perhaps I could set your mind at ease..."
"That'd be great. Just keep telling me how feeble minded I am and how humanity rests in my hands"
"No, but I will tell you this..." the Being starts, before something unfortunate happens.
The Being is gone. The gardens are gone.
Needy finds himself back in the real world.
Now more confused than ever.
"Gorram it!"
OOC: Just thought I'd mention that "no, the verse isn't going to implode, or explode"... or whatever universe's do in these strange situations
and I'm not going to make Needy into some bonafide superhero (he's indestructible as it is... or is he?). I do plan on taking the story somewhere... honest. And it's not all "end of the world" stuff either.
