OOC: Spoken like a true expert. 
****
Needy pushes himself forward.
"No, don't." He tells Willie, discouraging her from confronting them. "I got us into this. I'm sure I can make peace."
"I don't think..." she starts
"Trust me. I know what I'm doing."
Needy walks up to the control panel that operates the ramp with his head held high... or at least, as high as he could hold it.
He might be able to fool them, but he couldn't fool himself. He knew the only reason he was doing this was for Willie. He couldn't decide whether it was to protect her or just so he would look damned heroic. Whatever the reason, he didn't care what the others thought about his resolve. He was going to settle this.
Safe ran up behind him before the button is pressed. "You sure you know what you're doing?"
"Like hell!" Needy responds. "I'm not even sure this is the right button to press"
"You want the ramp up?"
"That's what I was aiming for"
"Then, yes, it's the right button."
"That's what I was afraid of." Needy looks up to Safe and advises with sincere eyes "You might want to stay hidden."
With that, Needy presses the button, and stands in the middle of the opening as the ramp begins to lower, revealing the two men standing opposite, with a third cowering close to the ship

The little birds circling Safe's head all suddunly have Needy's face and they are all shouting something at him..."You might want to stay hidden."
"Yup," Safe slurs trying to salute each little Needy headed bird, but quickly loses track of the ones he's already saluted when hands grab him from behind.
Nurse Jack and Dr. Me strap Safe to a stretcher. The word chainsaw, sobers Safe up quickly "Hunh wha?!?! Nope, no chainsaws, I'm ok! Really!"
"Lie still, you've suffered quite the head trama" Dr. Me says soothingly "Right about ... here"
Jack reaches back and pops Safe on the head, knocking him out.
Jack looks up knowingly at Dr. Me. "Antisethestic."
Reminisent of the movie "The Fly" Safes lasts words as they wheel him away... "Help me..."

Willie looks around for some help.
Jazaf crosses his arms and says "He'll be fine. They know what they're doing." He thinks a moment, "most of the time. But I think this time won't be any different."
"You might want to stay hidden." Needy calls out.
"Ha! A game of Hide 'n' Seek! Just what we need." Jazaf races off to hide.

Doctor Me chuckles to himself as he stands over Safe's body, which is strapped securely to the operating table in the Infirmary. "Hmmm... Perhaps we'll attach the bionic leg, first."
Jack is confused. "Uh, wait, didn't Safe hurt his head?"
Doctor Me shrugs. "Whatever..." He pulls on the cord to rev up the chainsaw. "Operating time!"
The three lovebots jump on Doctor Me and remove the chainsaw from his hands. They are, after all, programmed to protect human life.
"Dammit!"

Needy approaches the three men.
"This what you're looking for?" he asks them, holding up the bag of K49
"I told you!" Mack whimpers
"That you did" Fish responds. Then addressing Needy he says "You have any idea the trouble you've got yourself into?"
"An honest mistake. I didn't know." Needy replies.
The ugly good looks at Fish and mutters quietly so that Needy doesn't hear "We better finish this"
Throwing the bag at their feet, Needy plainly states "Alright, you got your stuff back now. You can leave us be"
"Is that right?" Ugly growls
"Yeah. Listen, I don't want any trouble. As you can see, I've got enough probems as it is. There's no reason you let this trade go down any messier than it need be."
Fish grins out the corner of his mouth and says "Thats the thing. My friend here," he nods towards Ugly, "he likes things to get messy. We've had to come out of our way here, and waste some much valued time in the process, we intend to make it worth our while. He wants to make it worth his while."
Needy's face drops as he realiss that things never run smooth for him. It seems he's going to have to go to plan B
Fish continues talking about his friend "He's an artist you see. He likes to make art of his work. And you know what his favourite colour is?"
Needy pauses, preparing himself, before replying "Red."
"Bingo!" Fish replies, just as his partner reaches for his holster.
Needy's ready though and pulls out a weapon he had concealed. Pulling the trigger of the dartgun, Needy shoots a tranq into Ugly's gut, piercing through the clothing as the fast-acting poison drops the beast to the floor.
Fish can't believe he had misjudged the miniature boy whore, but before he has a chance to fire his own weapon, a shot rings out above them as a bullet to the shoulder takes the second goon down.
Needy looks up above Destiny and sticks his thumb up to Serenity, who lowers her weapon.
Although Fish is still conscious, his weapon is now far from his hands, preventing him from firing on Needy as he walks towards him.
Careful not to get too close, Needy aims his dartgun at the other goon and shoots him in the neck, knocking him unconcious.
"Glad that's done with. I've had enough of this planet."
Needy turns to face Destiny. Mack is standing facing him holding Fish's discarded weapon.
"You... you caused me all this trouble. I should shoot you where you stand."
"You brought it on yourself when you decided to make deals with these folk. If I were you, I'd rethink your career"
Ignoring the weapon beign aimed at him, Needy walks toward the ship - too tired to care

*Even though Needy has his back to Mack, Serenity keeps one gun trained on him unti Needy is safe in the ship and the cargo door is shut. Then she heads back inside.*
Can we get off this miserable rock now? Please?
No offense, Willie, I can see you made a good life for yourself here, but I've seen quite enough to last me a lifetime.

Soul nods.
"Jazaf, the game of hide and seek is over. Please plot us a course somewhere away from here and get us off this gorram rock."

The Chief Nurse snaps on some latex gloves.
"TRM, Are you sure that you want to do this?"
TRM rubs his chin, "It's the only way."
"Seems kind of radical," Jack says, "And if he ever finds out..."
Safe groans. Jack swings over the medical tray into his temple, knocking out the handyman, "We really need to invest into some REAL sedatives..."
"Mmmm..." TRM replies.
"So the only way to fix his head is to go in through the OTHER side?"
"Indeed."
