---Its now thursday, the crew has been enjoying some much needed rest and relaxtion and A new job has been aquired. Irish, walks along the lake, muttering to himself about the recent events that have transpired, trying to piece things together---
Irish- I wonder what relation this oreo person has to Skye? Oreo was a crew member of tranquilty, but skye has been missing ever since we were kids and now all of a sudden, I recieve letters from him. And the recorder. And know, i'm on the same boat as his mother. this doesnt make any sense. Still, I'd better lay low as to not arouse any suspious tendencies among the capt'n and the others.
Still yet, Tranquility, the crew, Skye, Oreo, Badger, His mother, Silas 5 and 3...all pieces of a puzzle that i will figure out. Maybe, I should go talk to the Captian, see what he can tell me what he knows about Oreo. Maybe he can recall the events on Silas 5.
--- irish finishes his walk around the lake and proceedes to search for the captian.---
I will find him among you and though you don't see him........

(It is a lovely thursday morning when Elbarto walks into his old training Dojo. He walks unassisted thanks to some herbs they found in Oreo's old bunk.)
El: Ah it feels refreshing to be walking among these halls again.
(Elbarto walks into the martial arts training courtyard and sees several students going thru various forms of combat)
(Elbarto watches the students and remembers his own days training here)
*FLASHBACK*
Sensei: Your skill in the martial arts continues to grow my son, but your pride is still your weakness.
El: Pride is a hard thing to turn off master. My abilities continue to grow. I will bring great honor to this Dojo someday.
Sensei: You may bring great honor us, but you must get rid of your pride. if you fight, you must fight for other people, not for yourself. Winning isn't everything my son. Some of life's greatest lessons come from loss.
El:(salutes with his fist to his chest) I understand master.
*PRESENT TIME*
(Elbarto to himself): But I didn't understand did I? I never really understood until i was fighting that second Reaver. I was fighting for Kat then, not for myself. I was able to defeat him because I was fighting for her. I understand master. I will never be able to get rid of my pride, but i can keep it under the surface in times of need.
(Elbarto continues on, more memories coming back to him as he continues his trek through the halls.) 
When you can't run you crawl. When you can't do that...well...you know the rest.

@ The Shindig............
PathFinder : Talks with the bartender, who is through with her shift,
for tonight as tomorrow should be a big day getting ready for the weekend.
PathFinder finds the path leading up from the more formal area of the Shindig
to a more secluded Pavillion.
After the obligatory review of the surroundings, 6 ways out,
high ground, good cover & privacy for a few to converse in peace.
Sliding a sachel under the bench
arranging a comfortable seat with a view over Looking the Lake,
PathFinder works on another set of specialty trade tools.

This Chakan Oil should work well, think I'll refer to you as, Winona.
Flipping open the mobile cortex server, PathFinder, attatches it to a Coms unit
and pulls up more info on the Oreo project, mumbling codes to open Long forgotten files,
PathFinder : says we'll they should be forgotton files from before the UniFication cover,
but seems most of them haven't been, my codes are still intact, but this makes .................
perfect sense. Of course why would they stop? That would be the smart thing to do.
Find something that works pervert it. If it doesn't work twist it more,
untill it is more dangerous than can be stopped. Then turn tail and leave the surprise for the next victim.
Well at least the information from DocKat's toy will serve well.
ShinyFry and the CaptN arrive with more of the crew,

**Kat has been working on the Comms Shadow gave her and the other Comms from Silas 5. PathFinder has done a good job with clearing the coding but things do not add up. She has also received a new warrant warning which meant more work needed to be done..**
**Kat Comms Shiny**
Shiny? You at the Shindig? I could us a little help back on Tranquility for a bit - can't seem to get this stuff to do what I want it to! A little assistance would be good...and have you seen PathFinder? I think he has something that would help. Thanks
**Shiny Comms Kat**
Ok, Kat, I'll head over there shortly. The Cap'n is working on some figures here so maybes we'll get paid after the next job! That'd be fun, huh! I got the other supplies we needed, too, so I'll bring them over.
**Kat carries on with her assignment. Things were about to get very hot**
You are beholden to no man

SENSEI OJIN prays in the rising sun cathedral....
...and has a vision:
~~~~~~~ 2 teenage twins floating on a raft in the ocean.
a giant eagle appears in the sky.
he swoops down and picks the twins up with his claws flying them towards freedom.
suddenly a giant vulturelike bird screeches and pulls the twins out of the eagles claws.
the vulture flies to the edge of the sky when 2 angels decend and remove the twins from the vultures claws and return them to the eagle... ~~~~~~~
OJIN, worried that this is a warning for his friends on TRANQUILITY prays for them.
主の祈り／The Lord's Prayer

"thank you very much, i have the best crew in the 'verse."
SHADOW leaves the shindig to check on TRANQUILITY.
as he arrives at the ship he sees BADGERS men wheeling a crate towards TRANQUILITY.
'must be the empty decoy cryobox' he thinks.
SHADOW helps the men load the box on board.
one of badgers men briefs SHADOW on the mission and mentions that the cryobox has a time release lock, meaning it will only unlock at a predetermined time - once it has reached its destination.
he also mentions that the cago ship is leaving 1 day later than expected.
"i guess we have 1 more day to shindig".
SHADOW returns to his party and tells the crew about staying on aquila 1 extra day.

Gentleman- My friend, we made a deal, no message till i receive whats mine.
Irish- A business to the through and through....
---Irish reaches under his jacket and pulls out a black velvet bag and throws it to the gentleman. The gentleman quickly drops his food to catch it. without hesitation the gentleman opens it, eyes buggered open and a greedy grin appears over his face---
Gentleman- Now, i can finally get my mom that operation
Irish- I bet...the message
---The gentle reaches down into his desk and pulls open a drawer, after rifling through unkept papers and trash, he pulls out a manila folder and hands it to Irish---

[chuckles lightly]...just a bunch of rubbish if you ask me. in fact, i think some found an old morse code machine, hooked it up just to see if it worked and you wound up getting his message. a prank, thats all it is friend.
Irish- Well, for what i just paid for, i hope not. May i have the letter now, please?
---the gentleman chuckles, using his tongue to remove a piece of fish from his teeth---
Gentleman- My friend, we made a deal, no message till i receive my coin.
Irish- A business man through and through....
Gentleman- its the only way to do business.
---Irish reaches under his jacket and pulls out a black velvet bag and throws it to the gentleman. The gentleman quickly drops his food to catch it. without hesitation the gentleman opens it, eyes buggered open and a greedy grin appears over his face---
Gentleman- The gods above, you some kind of a fancy chap friend? I mean, what kinda of person pays this much coin for a worthless piece of paper?
Irish- Like the old saying goes "what might be a mans garage, might just be another mans treasure."
---The gentle smiles points agreeably, then reaches down into his desk and pulls open a drawer, after rifling through a slue of unkept papers and trash, he pulls out a manila folder and hands it to Irish---
Gentleman- you kept your end of the deal,hell, i can retire now. [The gentleman lets out a loud bursting laugh]...So my friend ill keep mine, Nobody will ever hear of this or of you ever being here.
Irish- This could turn out to be alliance affiliated, could be trouble involved.
Gentleman- Ha! the alliance does not scare me. Filthy sons of pigs, ALL OF THEM! My friend, your secret will go to the grave with me. But, just remember, if you ever need anything, anything at all, you come see me yeah.
Irish- Ah, thank you, I'll remember that

---Irish stands in confusion, not comprehending anything he just read.---
Irish(talking to himself)- What?! this makes absolutely no sense at all....its just a bunch of words. Random, idiotic words. This insane.
---Irish pauses for a second and rubs his temples with his fingers and closes his eyes. After a long sigh, Irish pops his eyes open and grips the paper as if it were being stolen from his hands---
Wait, wait just a second...maybe its a code within a code. Skye, you clever bastard you, you can never just make things easy can you? Even when we were kids you had to make everything as challenging as possible.
[Irish positions the paper in his hands so his focus is square on the list of words.]
Irish- lets see, In different cultures, back on earth that was, words held different meanings,double meanings as it were, hell sometimes triple if not more. Just like symbols or animals that were used in hieroglyphics in ancient Egypt...yes, yes that has to be it.
---Irish tucks the paper back into its folder and folds, placing into his jacket pocket---
Irish- I'll work it out on the ship. [Irish realizes its late] speaking of which, i best be heading back.
---Irish, walks
