Vixen was bored silly watching that door. So much for inititive it hadnt gotten her anywhere. She Wandered around the Hangar in a wide circle trying to look indifferent yet mean. You know like a pitbull on a warm day laid against a fence.
'Maybe I should offer to help somewhere?' She thought to herself. 'No too generous'
So she sat back down by the door and willed, prayed and wished for someone to start a fight.

Soul and Ciaran stared at each other, her last statement ringing in his mind. It just wasn't possible, and yet here she was, in front of him.
I...am...you...
Her last words suddenly made sense, but something, some sort of deeply buried cynicism still couldn't let him believe that the flesh and blood woman in front of him was really the love he had lost all those years ago.
"I can't believe you're really here," he said. "It almost feels like that first night we met on Osiris, right outside the theater. Remember that?"
Ciaran nodded, a tear sliding down her cheek. "I remember it like it was yesterday."
"Really? Because the way I remember it, we met on a tramp freighter during a Reaver attack, quite a ways from Osiris." He reached into his jacket and pulled out a rather wicked looking black dagger. "You're not Ciaran. Who in the hell are you?"
Her demeanor changed in an instant. "Well, it would seem that you are as smart as they told me."
Soul's vision sudden blurred, but when it cleared it wasn't Ciaran standing before him. It was Seryn.
"Nice little trick, huh? You wouldn't believe how helpful this is. Maybe even more helpful than your phasing."
Soul's eyes narrowed. "Who are you?"
His vision blurred again, and then Ciaran was back in front of him.
"This look will do for now." She shook her head and started to walk away.
Soul raced around her and pinned her against the bulkhead, the blade of his dagger shimmering in darkness.
"Why don't we try this again," Soul hissed.
For a moment, fear flashed in her eyes. "It wasn't supposed to be here. Not in the black."
"What are you talking about?"
She stared straight into his eyes, unflinching.
"They found you, and they are coming for you. You know that the Expendables don't take very kindly to one of their own running away."
Soul nearly dropped the dagger.
Ciaran smiled, a wicked grin on her face. "They are coming to kill you, Soul, and there's nothing you can do to stop them."

"Well, that went well" Kyra uttered to Needy as they walked through the bowels of the ship
"You think?" Needy asked
"Sure. It must be lonely for that little girl out here on her own, no friends. And the kids seemed glad to see a new face... well, apart from Spider for some reason."
"Yeah I guess."

Kyra and Needy stop dead in their tracks.
"What the..." Kyra starts, her voice filled with confusion
Needy's reaction is fast "Go get Julie and the girl"
"What?" she asks genuinely surprised "You can't think they..."
"No... I don't think so... but they shouldn't be left unsupervised. We took them off their ship. If someone like SR or Safe saw them on our ship, well they just might get the wrong idea"
"Ok," Kyra says "What are you going to do?"
"I'm gonna find out exactly what's going on."

Milton had been left on his own for quite a while.
Both his new friends and old had deserted him as they apparently tried to assess the true nature of the crewmembers of the other ship.
Milton didn't mind so much, he liked the quiet, but at the same time, he wished that there was at least one person there to keep him company.
And he preferred if that person was Amy.
She sure seemed like a nice girl, well, woman. Attractive and charming. And not the least bit cold towards him, which he had half expected coming on board a ship with a variety of different people and personalities.
It was during these thoughts of Amy that he was interrupted by a figure moving quickly towards him.
It was Needy.
"Hey, everything alright?" Milton asked innocently, but his faint smile was soon wiped off his face when Needy took his arm and forced him to walk with him
"What's going on?" Milton asked, this time with the sound of fear in his voice
"Trouble" Needy states plainly
"Wh-what's happened?"
"Someone on their ship is hiding something"
"What do you mean?" Milton struggled to comprehend the situation
"One of them sabotaged their own ship. There's something going on"
"Why?"
"That's what we're gonna find out" Needy said, as they both headed for the Dwarf.

The rest of the walk to the cockpit was in silence. Safe’s a thoughtful silence too many things didn’t fit.
Liam’s a nervous silence, he was beginning to wonder if inviting these people aboard was a mistake.
“Wisp, call up the….” Safe says as they walk through the hatch to the cockpit, pausing when he didn’t see the young electronics wiz. “Wisp?”
“Where’s your man?” Liam asks, now his nerves showing. “We ask for help and you use that to snoop where you’re not wanted??”
Safe was more confused at this point that concerned. Looking around, he noticed a chair at the second terminal overturned. He reaches the chair in a few quick strides, lifting back upright. There behind the chair, unconscious on the floor was Wisp.
Worried by the small pool of blood, Safe quickly checks for a pulse, and is relieved when he feels a strong beat. Looking up to see Liam turn towards the hatch, Safe’s gun flashes out and Liam’s progress is halted by the clicking sound of the guns hammer being pulled back.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Safe snarls.
Liam turns his hands in the air. “Easy now, I was just going to get the first aide kit.” He points cautiously to the wall beside the hatch where the kit hung.
Safe nods and Liam continues to the wall removing the kit and retuning to kneel next to Wisp. “Listen, I’m no pirate. This is a peaceful family ship. I assure you, I have no idea how this happened.”
“We’ll see just exactly what you do know shortly.” Safe takes out his comm. “S.R., Jack. Round up the crew of the Dwarf. Absolutely no one is to let them aboard the Epsilon. Treat all as if they were armed. And Jack, find Soul. Seryn, Needy report please.”
“Is that really necessary?” Liam looks pained.
“Ya, ya it is.” Safe keys up the comm. again, “Versa, bring your friend from the engine room up here please.”
Safe looks back at Liam, “Maybe you want to tell me what you’re really doing out here.”

Needy meant business. You could tell by the serious "no fei-hua" look on his face
Needy could be straight-faced no nonsense when he needed to be, Milton knew that already, but now he was looking at him different.
After what Amy and Versa had told him, he didn't know whether he was dealing with the Needy he knew, or something... someONE else
Looking at him, he couldn't help but feel he was looking at someone who was on auto-pilot, someone that you didn't want to get the wrong side of. As good a man Needy was, Milton had never seen him that way before.
Had he changed for the better? He didn't know.
I guess time would tell.
Needy's comm came alive.

Milton had trouble remembering who everyone was, but he believed it was the man they called Safe hailing him.
Needy responded immediately to the call, without batting an eyelid as if... as if he was on autopilot.
"This is Needy. Over"
"Needy where are you?" Safe called over the comm.
"I'm just heading over towards the dwarf now. What's going on?"
"Wisp's been attacked..."
"Is he ok?" Needy asked, faintly concerned.
"Should be. We're rounding up our little visitors. You seen any on our ship when they shouldn't be, you bring 'em over"
Needy hesitated, surely there was no need to mention that he had invited two of them over and introduced them to the children.
"That clear?" Safe asked
"Yeah" Needy responded. "All clear. I'll see you in a minute". With that he flicked a switch on the comm, ending his transmission.
"EVerything ok?" Milton asked "You want me to go and check the rooms?"
"No!" Needy responded suddenly, catching Milton by surprise. "We'll meet up with Safe first, see what's what before we go running around."
"Okay" Milton replied reluctantly as they continued to walk together. There was definitely something very off with Needy.

SR locked the door to the epsilon behind him and toggled up his com link.
"My door is secured and I'm moving aft to organized the personel. Where do you want them once I've found them?" Suddenly SR felt a shiver run up his spine.
"Safe, does Wisp still have his comm link with him?"

Safe watched Liam carefully bandage Wisps head, while he waited for the others to report in. Needy’s hesitation struck a nerve with Safe. He was just keying up the comm., to reprimand him when he paused. The realization that Needy wasn’t one of his soldiers to boss around was like a splash of cold water. He was getting caught up in the action…again. Sighing he lowered his comm. slowly.

Safe’s eyes narrow. “Back up” he tells Liam who does so without hesitation. Safe checks Wisps pockets, never taking his eyes off Liam. Finished he sits back and keys up his comm. “Bring ‘em to the bridge. Scorpion, good catch. Wisps comm. is missing. Be careful.”
“Sit over there” Safe orders Liam waving his gun in the direction of the computer consol chair.
“Hey Safe. What did you wan…” Versa and Colm enter the bridge stopping abruptly upon seeing Safe pointing his gun at Liam.
“You.” Safe says to Colm, “Over there too. Versa, keep an eye on Wisp please. Have you seen Seryn?”
“Not lately, why?” Versa asks kneeling next to Wisp.

Elsewhere:
“Soul, what’s going on?” Jack approaches Soul and Ciran, looking back and forth between the two.
Ciran looks at Jack considering for a moment then bursts into tears, slapping Soul across the face, “Pig!” She she sobs at Soul and pushes past Jack, sobbing into her hands.
Jack looks at Ciran startled then back at Soul accusingly. “You know… I never took you for that kind of man.”
“Idiot!” Soul snaps at Jack and tries to follow Ciran, but she’s nowhere to be seen.
“She just played you, you chump.” Soul glares at Jack.
Jack looks into Souls eyes for any sign of a falsehood. “Crap!’ he curses at himself. “I shoulda know better. Safe’s looking for you. We gotta round up the crew and passengers of the Dwarf. Somethings up.”
