Spine, I just wanted to make sure you knew not to harm that young one on board. The Upperton one. I don't need you going trigger happy on civilians that sneaked on board... not unless... I say so.
*She sighs* I also believe that you already know that the Captain ain't coming back. Means I'll be taking over Captain duties. Now that Shadow and his crew have reboarded Tranquility, I'm planning on having Tot take us dirtside. I got a job lined up for us on Jiangyin. I need you and the crew fully prepared before we land...
As for other things... I want you to be my first mate (unless you dont want to), but you can still take care of mercenary duties. I just need another gunhand on board. I'll need you to find one for me. We'll see if we can pick one up on Jiangyin and if not, we'll have to find us one somewhere else.
*Tot comes up to the bridge*
Tot: Umm... am I interrupting?
Nah, Spine was just about to leave.
*Spine grumbles and walks off the bridge*
Tot: Where's CaptainWalker?
Afraid, he ain't coming back. I'm in charge now...
Tot: *her eyes are wide* Oh... Ok...
I need you to take us Jiangyin. It's only about 1 week away, so let's get going now.

*before exiting bridge* Don't worry, I'll be your first mate. Jiangyin is a long way from Cosack. Are we abandoning Badger's job? Not that I particularly care, but it could stir up trouble for us in the future.
Cap'n Zero:We've got no choice. Walker held all the particulars in his head.
Spinebite:I see. *exits bridge, goes down to medbay, starts sharpening knife in plain view of Upperson* (to Upperson):I told you that I wasn't through with you.
"Pain is scary."

*to CommanderZero* I suppose you're right. Though I hope this doesn't hurt us in the future...
*walks off to the galley, grabs a small snack, and returns to the Medbay* So, Spinebite, I trust that you'd be more then capable of putting her down in case she causes any trouble? I don't trust her, stowing away on The Wash like she did... and the fact that she came at you with a knife isn't such a pleasant thought either. Plus, her explaination...... seems like she's a crackhead or something.
Wuo duh ma...

*gives Tate a big hug* Oh, Jordyn honey, you're a great pilot! Cap'n Walker leaving us is not. your. fault!
*looks over the top of Tate's head at Zero, giving a "help me out here" look*
Zero: Uh, yeah...*shrugs her shoulders*
*Tillie glares at Zero*
Listen sweetie, he did NOT leave on account of you. You've got to know that. You have been doing so great ever since you been here. When Tranquility was getting ready to dock you kept her so nice and steady, they had a real easy time of it. *kisses the top of her head* Honey, I know it's hard to understand, but sometimes people do things we don't know why. It ain't the kids' fault if mama and baba fight or if one of 'em leaves, and it sure ain't your fault Cap'n Walker went away, 'kay? I mean it. And another thing: you would'a never got to sit in that chair you didn't know your stuff, pilotwise. You got hired fresh outta school, it's true, but you learned your training real well and you been doin' your teachers proud ever since you been on the Wash. You handle 'er like a pro, 'n I mean that. *Tate looks up at Tillie and smiles*
Now Cap'n Zero, I heard you say we're going to Jiangyin. About how long we'll be there, do you think? Cuz I need to do some serious repairs in a real station. Now, Jiangyin -- y'ever been there? Well, it's a dump; backwater, backwards, and folks got some real strange ideas about hospitable behaviour. Anyhow, ain't no place on that rock for me to work on the fuel cells.
Greenleaf has the kind of station I need, with the facilities and all the equipment to get the Wash up to safe running condition. It's only ten hours from Jiangyin, and one of the shuttles can make it there and back easy. If I can load the bad fuel cells into the shuttle's cargo hold, I can fly off, fix the damage, and fly back in two days.
*Zero raises her eyebrow at Tillie*
Cap'n, believe me when I tell you this repair is needed. You can wave Tranquility and talk it over with Cap'n Shadow and ShinyFrye if you don't take my word on it, but it's gotta be done.
Zero: Greenleaf? Are you out of your mind?
I've lived and worked on Alliance planets before, and my trader badges get me respect, and no questions asked. Doing repairs ain't illegal. Not me or the shuttle or the fuel cells will be at risk while I'm there, I promise you that.
Zero: It does sound like a good plan, but I'll have to get back to you on it. I have to see how long our job on Jiangyin will take. *seeing Tillie's look of frustration* And I do realize that the problems with the fuel cells are serious. Captain Shadow told me about it when we discussed my becoming captain.
Thank you, Cap'n. I'll be aft if you need me.

How wonderful! Other girls get to wake up to Prince Charming, but not me, oh no, I get this *glares viciously at Spinebite*
While you're busy with that knife, hand me the gun and we can have a little re-enactment of our previous encounter, with one important difference! I'm more than a fair shot, and at this range, I'm sure I could pick off what I wanted to...*winces at pain in hand, and lies back again. calms down*
Oh I wish you wouldn't stand there trying to look intimidating. I really am already quite as frightend as I am going to be, you know. *sulks*

*Gapes openmouthed at Blueredgreen, and sits forward on the bed*
I'm right here, you know? Right here. No need to talk to the homicidal maniac crackhead on that side of the room. I'm perfectly sane, and believe you me, I don't particularly like what happened here either. And if this is the 26th century then everyone I ever knew is DEAD. *shuts up suddenly looking shocked*
*Says quietly to Blueredgreen*
However, if you are really a doctor, and this is really a spaceship... then I have to discuss something confidential with you...later *glares piercingly at Spinebite*...in private.

*sighs as she sits up on the bridge pulling out her gun and a cloth and wiping it down* Well Tot. You heard. Take us to Jiangyin.
Tot: *still seems confused* I just don't understand it...
*Zero looks at her* What? Why we're going to Jiangyin?
Tot: No... why the Captain left.
*Zero stands again, placing a hand on Tot's shoulder* Look, Tot... if you're still wondering why the Captain left, none of us know why, alright? It wasn't 'cause you weren't a good enough pilot or Blue wasn't a good enough Doctor. Ya'll are doing great in my eyes. If you weren't I would have already had you off the ship. Now, if you wouldn't mind, my kind pilot, I'd like to get to Jiangyin as soon as possible.
Tot: Alright. We'll be out of atmo in five.
Good. *smiles as she heads down to the engine room where she sees Tillie*
Tillie, I've decided to let you take the shuttle to Greenleaf, but I want you to take Tot with you. I'll have Spine and... the Doc will be handling a gun for me until we have a new gunhand. So you do your thing on Greenleaf and get back to Jiangyin and dock as quickly and quietly as possible. Got it?
Tille: Yes, ma'am. Thanks Captain.
Yeah, just don't get caught.
Tille: I won't...
*Zero now heads down to the infirmary where she sees the Doc and Upperton with Spinebite cleaning his knife nearby*
Hey, Doc, on Jiangyin I'm gonna need you to be a gunhand.
Doc: I take bullets out of people. I don't put them in.
First time for everything, ain't there? As for you *looks at Upperton as she's sleeping*... Find anything interesting about her Doc? Name... where she's from? Anything?
Doc: Yes, actually. Her name is Linn Jansen. People call her Upper, I guess.
Hm. Well that's a whole ton of information, ain't it? *Sees Upperton wake up and threaten Spinebite*
Huh, I guess I'll have you stay here when on Jiangyin, Doc. I don't want her wandering around and messing anything up. Keep a close eye on her Doc. See if you can find out where she's from and how the hell she got on my gorram boat.
*exits the infirmary*
