"Yeah everythings fine and dandy" Needy replies with a hint of sarcasm. "There's nothing like a bit of impaling to get your day off to a great start"
Seryn smiles at him "you'll be alright. You can handle it"
"That I can... fortunately. I think I'm finished here. I'll see you in a minute"
Needy clicks the comm off, and begins to make his way over to the others

"Needy no!"
"I don't think this baby can handle three, and rabbits, and luggage. Besides, theres no way i'm letting you get yuk on the upholstery, and then theres the getting sucked into the black when I pop the hatch. We'll try and get to you. Are you able to get in touch with Safe and the Dagger?"
She turns to Wisp "Do you have any idea if the ISSV.... whatever, the Issi, has a cargo hold large enough for the Nandi? and, um, any way to get into it whilst in space?
"I suppose we really need to ask Safe, He's the one who knows her best"
She opens up a comm link just as the planets sun breaks over the edge of the planet.
"Oh thats pretty... uh, Good morning, any one there?"

Wisp checks his console and begins rapigly typing and clicking. Although it looked liked an average laptop it was completely overhauled into a ships computer core. He had a access to cortex radar and some other very handy gadgets at his disposal whenever he needed them.
"Ok ive found us" Wisp said to seryn who was busy trying to call safe "were in very very loose orbit over Boros the dagger should be near by and that transport that needys on seems to hev atmo but no engines"
"so?"
"dont ask me im just the tech guy, but.......That transport has an emergency electromagnetic flux beam , kinda like a grappling hook beam, if Needy can activate it we can use our engines to pull him to the dagger or at least somewhere with less chance of us being destroyed by somthing"
Wisp pushed all thoughts of why he was here to the back of his head and concentrated on the im here now aspect. The warm fluffy insident confused him but she probably seduced him (ok i probably seduced her i do have the reputation) wisp removed a rabbit from his lap and called needy.

Seryn raises an eyebrow.
"Ok, I realise you were just speaking English, but what kind of English I'm not sure.
Could you repeat that? In the language of the stupid people?"
she tries another channel.
"ok, i'm trying not to use names, just incase we're being overheard, but you, in the little ship towing the bigger ship, are you listening? Come in..."
Then turns back to Wisp and raises an eybrow.
"what're you doing with my rabbit?"

"ok needy your on the bridge arent you?"
"yes"
"Ok can you see a terminal that says cargo sub-systems?" The line went quiet for a few seconds the Needys voice came back.
"yea what now?"
"are all the lights green or if not which ones"
"The hydraulic cargo lift is red but the rest are green"
We wont need that thought wisp to himself as seryn was still trying to contact safe. It was like watching the guessing game where you werent allowed to use the actual words. Seryn was becoming quite frustrated so Wisp tried to work faster before she turned the rabbits on him.
"Ok there should be a very long codealong the bottom of the screen can you read it to me nice and slow"
Needy rectited the code which was several dozen letters long which Wisp typed into his console. Wisp was hacking into the remote opperations software on the transport designed for skeleton crew opperations.
"Got it!!" Shouted Wisp with obvious glee at his own genious "Seryn hold on were going for a ride"
Wisp controlled the tractor beam and bay doors to park the Nandi inside the Transport. The door bays then sealed and Seryn and Wisp stepped out along with a ridiculous ammount of rabbits that seemed to multiply before their very eyes.

OOC: So you really want to do this eh? Hmmm... Well there go my toys out of the pram 
. In for a penny in for a pound.
Ok, so I got this straight. When last I saw our stalwart heroes, the Dagger (the same size as the Millenium Falcon) was towing the ISSCV freighter (same length as the Falcon only rectangular) and the Nandi was attached to it.
In the Dagger were Safe, Bear, Grunt and Jennings. In the Nandi were Seryn and Wisp and in the ISSCV were Needy and quite possibly Citizen and maybe others that didn't make the transition when the fence on the "playground" was pulled in to encompass a smaller area.
I'll post pictures of the Dagger and the ISSCV if needed, tonight. And I will most certainly have something to contribute to the story then too.
Sorry about the delay. Thank-you Seryn*hugs*

After Seryn and Wisp have put the rapidly multiplying rabbits back inside the ship the two of them survey their suroundings.
"Weve got to meet Needy on the bridge then we'll find a way to get onto the dagger" Says Seryn extracing a Rifle from an overhead locker "Their could be anything between here and there do you have any lethal gadgets without fancy names?"
Wisp goes to his bag and extracts his flak jacket with some grenades left, his laptop which he fits into a backpack, his new 12mm side arm and a silver object. The silver thing was Oval with rounded edges about a foot long by 6inch by 2 inch.
"I thought i said no gadgets"
Wisp pressed a button and the object unfolded into his pulse rifle as one side of the case became the stock and two barrels appeared at the front.
"This is one i cant live without" A Small screen was on the top of the gun with power and a small target display with a thermal detector.
The detector showed an arch with walls in white and people in red. Other objects like robots appeared as blue. The display showed The hangar and another room with a blue blip that was moving back and forth
"You know that 'anything' you mentioned? I think its next door"

*struggles not to look impressed*
"So er... where did you say you got that one from?"
Wisp fiddles with the gizmo, then reveals the not so great news,
"Blue blip you say... angry blue blip? Evil blue blip? Fluffy kind and benevolent tree hugging blue blip? Do you have any more information we could go on?
OK, lets go find out..."
She takes a step back and winces as a minute sqeak sounds out. In a low voice, she looks apologetically at him.
"gargh! er ok. One thing I gotta do, really quickly"
She looks around, then spots something ideal. She drags the crate, about a meter square but only a foot high, over towards the Nandi, pushing it in under a wing.
Then she and Wisp spend a delightful few minutes hunting down rounding up and depositing the little pink and wriggly bundles of joy into it. Quickly she transfers the bedding from the carrier to the box and adds a bowl of food. On the screen the blip moves back and forth unchanged.
She turns round and finds Esme and Archie staring at her balefully.
"Well, i'm not doing it! get in there and parent. Just remember, diciplin!"
Wisp grins, turning back to her has they move off, " I hope Archie doesn't take that to heart...
It be like bunny boot-camp before long if he does."
"Oh don't even joke"
They move silently towards the room containing old blue, alert to all the various noises of the ship, Wisp approaches the door, and rests his hand on the catch, "ready?"
"yep.... whenever you are"

OCC: Right I'm in the ISSCV, that helps 
The ISSCV drifted aimlessly as a cloud of space debris, pulled along by the dagger. Citizen lent back in his seat.
"Well we've got a ship full of weapons and no functioning engines, we're being dragged along by a warship commanded by a man who's looking for his brother with a group of mercinaries."
Citizen began punching random buttons on the dead console. "Sounds like we're in for some fun, dontchya think?" He beamed.
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
And as you know, these are open forums, you're able to come and listen to what I have to say.

Wisp opened the door revealing an automated robot cleaner stuck in a loop by the debris.
"Well that sure was an anticlimax" Says wisp lowering his weapon.
He walks over to the robot and removes the cover. He fiddles around with some switches and the robot stops moving.
"Thats the last time you get to decide whats dangerous" Says seryn rolling her eyes at Wisp as he replaces the cover.
"Hey i didnt....." Wisp was stopped midsentance by a bleeping sound coming from the deactivated robot.
"WARNING. INTRUDERS DETECTED. COMMENCING CARGO LOCK DOWN. ACTIVATING COUNTERMEASURES"
Wisp fired his weapon into the machine deactivating it permenantly.
"what does that mean?" Seryn asked
"we move. Quickly." As Wisp spoke The door into the next room, opened and a large Robot entered the room. It was humanoid in shape about 6 ft tall with dark blue plating over its body with a few hydraulic pipes showing. Its hands were pulse weapons and its head (if you can call it that) Was a dome with lots of circuits and flashing Lights.
"Are you the receptionist? We'd like two single rooms each with a sea view a continetal breakfast and a wakeup call at nine please." Seryn asked leveling her weapon at the mechanical beast.
It replyed by opening fire on the two of them causing them to fall to the floor.
