So how's about a random adventure?

Right, I know a hospital that is just ripe to be raided, complete with an evil receptionist to be bypassed at the door.
We'll need ropes, hacksaws, a rubber duck, two pound coins, two pounds of coins, some Rice Krispies (it must be Rice Krispies - Ricicles won't do), an ungulate above four feet in height, two fake ID badges and some beers. For the victory party afterwards.

*pinches a clone Simon's butt. giggles to self, or would if giggling were possible*
*scampers to the console*
Is there any cake left? I don't eat, but it's still nice to play with my food. Can I be given a clone for my own transportation? The Potter clone's are too young for me, I feel icky. One of the Simon or Mal clones maybe....or a Chiwetel clone.
*fidgets*
If any of my stuff is still on board, there are two badges in my steamer trunk: Molly Cule R.N. and P. McNinja M.D. Mind if I take a dip in the margaritas?

Hmmm... maybe we can grow a new bod for TWG? Or attach the hand to a clone?

TheRealMe carefully considers the problem posed by ThatWeirdGirl's hand.
"Sadly, all of the Big Damn Hero Clones dissolved into dust some time ago. However, After Bride1 was slain by Needleseye, Doctor SimonWho was convinced by the other Brides to clone her from her remains, and so we now again have a complete set of Brides."
TheRealMe snaps his fingers.
Say, when the FemaleReaver got loose on the Sereni-Tree, Bride1 lost her arm in a fight with her. Perhaps the two of you could be united in a..."
The attractive blonde assassin Ace strolls up, her robotic prosthetic hand whirring and buzzing as she delivers an empahtic gesture. "No way! Forget it!"

*stiffening as TRM relates the story*
Her!?
*pacing, up and down the console, the hand occasionally shakes*
But she's, well she's not the type I am. We're ill-matched....I suppose that means we're perfect for each other. *sigh* If she promises not to kill anyone using me, I'll consider it...
*shuffles behind a rubber plant to think of this developent *
She doesn't appreciate the chaos I bring to the table.
"Chaos!" Ace huffs, "I don't understand chaos! I am chaos incarnate. You are a measly little hand of a former oddity. You are nothing compared to me."
*nothing. nothing. The hand slowly clomps across the console. At Ace's pronouncement, the hand leaps at her knee, squeezing it*
"Uncle!"

TheRealMe watches, perplexed, as the disemboded hand of ThatWeirdGirl grips the knee of Ace.
"Ummm... Well, as I understand it, Doctor SimonWho did some tinkering with Bride1's genetic code. She's not nearly so crazy as she used to be."
Ace winces at the pain inflicted by the hand, but still gives him a look.
He continues: "That is to say, she is much less susceptable to being controlled by the very convincing arguments of that mastermind of psychology, the FemaleReaver... especially since we left her on Reaverworld a jump or two back."
Ace regards him coldly, as she draws her prized katana and begins casually sharpening it. "Look, hand, if you don't release your grip, then you'll force me to chop off your... ummm..."

A tall, attractive woman of African descent comes walking purposefully from the Sereni-Tree's bar to the site in the Common Room of the altercation between Ace and TWG's hand. "Hey! None of that!" she says sharply to Ace. She sets her pitcher of Margaritas on the floor and sits, crosslegged, next to Ace's knee.
"Stay out of this, Trey!" Ace warns her, waving her katana about menacingly. "I'm still an agent of Chaos!"
Trey dismisses Ace with a snort and a wave of her hand. Her face at Ace's knee level, she addresses the Hand. "Come on, sweetie. There's no reason to get so upset at Ace. Like TheRealHim said, the Doc stripped away most of the crazy DNA. Ace is mostly sane, now."
Ace scowls.
Trey continues. "I'd offer you both a free drink of my special brew, but..." She regards the hand. "Maybe we can inject it or something."
Meanwhile, TheRealme gets a beep on his com-link. He pulls it from his belt. "Hello? This is Me."
From the pilot dome above the Bridge, Quincey, a beautiful woman of Oriental descent with long, shining black hair, mades her report. "We've recovered all our shuttles. Everybody is aboard, and then some, considering the new folks."
TheRealMe nods. "Excellent, Bride5. Stand by, please." He touches a control on the device. "Bride4, what is our status?"
From down in Main Engineering, Jet, a rather short Caucasian woman with dark hair and glases, adjusts controls on her hovering command chair. "I've just finished spinning up the FTL drive. We can jump to hyperspace at any time."
"Thank you, Bride4." He touches another control, and his voice echoes throughout the ship. "All hands! Prepare to Jump!"

**jake7 watches and listens to the exchange between TRM, Ace, and Trey and steps forward with a suggestion**
Um...if SimonWho was able to clone the others, why can't he simply just clone TWG from one of her fingernails or cells?
I think that would be a bit more tolerable for TWG, don't you think?
I know I, for one, would feel a wee bit safer keeping the two crazies in cryo!
Just a thought...

Because if he cloned TWG, we're not sure if the clone would have TWG's personality, or if TWg would only be able to control the hand, or if the two personalities would have to fight it out for control of the body, or waht. Besides, the clone would be whole, and we'd have to cut off one of the hands and then re-attach the TWG hand, and that would be a bloddy mess.
