(Oreo is the last one to enter the room. He walks up to the table and throws a bunch of building plans and maps onto the table.)

Ain't got much to offer but these and the name of the planet we headin to.

(Capt'n interrupts)

And what might be the name of that planet, if you don't mind me askin?

(Oreo pulls out a chart of the verse and points, a drop of blood drips onto the chart from oreos forearm. kat notices and looks up at Oreo)

(Oreo continues)

Right here, Silas 5. Its a slaver camp, mostly they collect thieves and planet hoppers, people with bounties on theys head, some families that are lookin to relocate to different parts of the verse and puts them to work here.

(Shiny interrupts this time)

Work? what kinda work?

(Oreo turns and looks towards shiny)

Cookin, cleanin, unloading ships. things like that. every now and then the guards will throw a couple of slaves in a pit and make'em kill each other, usually use food as incentive. basically anything to keep the slaves busy and to keep them from finding out whats really goin on.

(Shiny interjects)

what is it that the alliance doesn't want to be found out.

(Oreo pulls out a map of the alliance camp)

This [Oreo points to a building on the map]...this is why they are harvesting folks. This right here is their main building, where they do some of their low grade testings, and experiments....

(Kat touches Oreo's hand. Oreo quickly composes himself)

Over here is the slave bunks, where they put them when the day is over. Lock them in and keep at least 20 armed guards around the place at all times.

(Captain walks over and looks at the map)

So where are they keeping your mother

(Oreo points to a building on the map)

Here. They call it the double A or Alliance Asylum.

(El finally speaks)

The Asylum. Why?

(Oreo answers without looking at El)

Because the people they keep there, are special, usually the ones they use for experiments. The things done there, are done in stages. Folks unlucky enough to wind up there are forced to watch all the experiments takin place in there and in the main building. They make'em watch, the cuttin, the blood, the death, over and over, till those folks go crazy. Those ruttin... they go crazy till their minds become violent, violent like...

(Shiny looks over towards the capt'n and reply's in horror)

Reavers! Capt'n, they's makin reavers there.

(Capt'n turns to Oreo more serious then ever)

Oreo, you need be tellin me just how in the verse do you know all this.

( Oreo stands up to meet the capt'n eye to eye)

I was there. i was one of the folks that was forced to watch the torture and smell all that reeking death. For two years, day in and day out. Folks being brought in only to die, for what? So the alliance can build towards their perfect universe. Make things and life...better. But i didn't break and because of that they found me unique....special. They took me from my room in the middle of the night, doped me and began testing on me. Kept me locked in a ruttin dark room, wired to machines and bleedin half the time...[Oreo is in a full out rage]...They prodded me, cut on me, hacked and slashed, but i would not break! thats was nine months into their new project. They figured my body would hold up in the final stages. The final stages of fusing a reavers blood with a normal human.They watched as i turned over the months. I screamed in pain and fear. I felt myself becoming...different. There were three before me. THREE! [Oreo holds three fingers in the capt'n's face]... One of them was my father. It was his reaver blood that was pumped into me. But,I wouldn't give in, no matter what, i wouldn't break.[Oreo steps back from the capt'n a few paces and hangs his head down]...but, now i wish i had.

(Kat reply's, nervous at the answer she is about to given)

Why, do you wish you had given in? You were brave not to.

Brave? That ain't had nothin to do wit it. They figured, by taking our mother and bringing her there, i would break, that i would let the reaver

Thanks Shiny, that should help us get a fix on the comms at the station...might help us to figure out what's going on - and how we can stop it.

You are beholden to no man

silas 5 it is.
our new cargo should be attached by now. i'll make sure it is, then we head to silas 5.
i haven't had time to read the 'grail' yet but i'm hopin' it has some intel we can use
on silas 5.
KAT, keep decoding that intel from SILVERHOLD and the new intel that PATHFINDER sent with this cargo job that we're doin' for him [he mentioned that in his wave].
EL, finish those new martial art techniques you been workin' on, sounds like you'll need them.
it may be just you and OREO goin' in for the extraction this time, i'll explain later but it's a team effort.
SHINY, make sure the main engine and thrusters are at full capacity, also the shuttles engines [we may use them as rescue or distraction tools]also that box for KAT.
this will be a well coordinated mission with many 'moving parts'.
OREO, you will be the point man on this rescue, actually grabbing and carrying your mother.
EL will be 'cover and protection' so prepare yourselves mentally, especially you OREO and you KAT [even though you won't be physically on the planet, but probably a shuttle].
ok floor's still open for ideas and questions:

(Oreo straps down his guns to his belt and shoulder holsters. Places extra clips into his pack and drapes his repeater and Kzr around hios next and shoulder. And he starts to walk out to the cargo hold, but not without running in El.)

(Oreo grabs El by the arm an swings him around till he's nose to nose with Oreo is about a foot and a half taller then El)

Look El, I meant every word I said back in the galley. This ain't no time to play hero or go off on a killing spree. (Oreo sighs) sides, If anything happens to me...I'm counting on you to Get Kat outta there and as far away from this planet as possible.

(El looks at Oreo's face)

You know you're not coming back from this, don't you? Oreo.....

(Oreo lets go of El's arm and walks away, but still replys)

EL, you don't have a vendetta with these people....

(Oreo whispers to himself)

But I do.

(Oreo stops and throws a piece of paper to El)

Do me a favor and give this to shiny for me when you get a chance. I'll see ya down in the cargo hold, don't be late.

(El waits till Oreo is otta site and opens the letter)

---The letter reads----

Dear Shiny,

Don't think to much into this letter. I just happened to have wrote a poem and I figured if there was one person on this boat that would appriecate it, it'd be you. So He goes....

Dreams do come true, but only when
They make it through despair,
Limping into everyday
Transformed beyond repair.
No dream would be a dream if it
Could pass for something real,
Nor would we sail for paradise
Would it its shoals conceal.

So it is with love: the dream
Long and longed for, now possessed,
Must be a dream no longer, but
An emperor undressed.

Naked it must come to us
In unaccustomed shame,
And we must take it in our arms
And love it all the same.

And we must love love as it is
That dreams might still come true,
Mangled into miracles
To make our lives anew.





Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.

(Oreo pulls out a cigeratte after watching El read his letter.)

Bastard, good thing I stopped just outside the door. [sighs]....I'm gonna die anyways, Least it looked like he thought kindly of it. Wonder what shiny will think of it?

(Takes a drag off his cigarette)

oh well, better git go'in.
