Alright then. I have very little trouble saving antibiotics and painkillers. *he and Spine carry Jagger to the infirmary*
Spine: This guy aint worth the time, doc, I'm tellin ya.
I agree, but it's Zero's orders, that's the authority that we BOTH consent to.
Spine: That don't change nothin.
Well, just do your job and watch his eyes. Might give you an excuse to shoot him. *he begins working on him with the unclean materials and without any kind of painkillers or disinfectants for the wound*

*Stands in the door of the infirmary and looks on as the doc works on Jagger*
Upper:This could have been upsetting if he wasn't such a sorry excuse for a human being.
*BRG grunts an affirmative whilst digging for bulllets in the left shoulder. Jagger groans only once, before he passes out. Despite the lack of materials invested, BRG is careful and neat in his work, and the bullets are soon removed.*
*The com crackles to life*
Zero: Ian, will you come and keep an eye on the rest of the prisoners for me? I need Tater on the bridge and Tillie in the engine room, something is wrong with my ship and it needs fixin'
Spine: You need any more help here, doc? He seems pretty quiet to me. *Pokes the unconcious Jagger in the stomach*
BRG *cleaning the bloody surgical equipement*: No, it seems fine for now.
*Spine leaves. BRG finishes cleaning up*
BRG: Lin, just keep an eye on the patient for 10 minutes. I just want to go give Jordyn some salve that will prevent swelling. I'll be back as quikly as I can.
Upper: Sure thing, doc. He doesn't look to be any trouble.
*BRG leaves carrying a tube of salve, and goes to the bridge*
*Upper sits down on the working surface next to the washbasin, swinging her legs. She pics up a paper cup and pours in some water from the tap. Sipping it slowly, she looks at the patient. Jagger stirs, and opens his eyes*
Jagger: That water sure looks good
Upper: I would give you some, but I don't think you could hold the cup, and I'm sure not going to feed you.
Jagger: Where's your sense of compassion?
Upper: Out the window since your previous stunt when I tried to help you.
Jagger: Fine. Be that way.
*An uncomfortable silence fills the infirmary*
Jagger: The doctor was right you know
Upper: About what?
Jagger: You have an... interesting history.
Upper *warily*: Yeah? What do you know about my history?
Jagger:More than you know
Upper: Oh stop trying to be interesting, or I'll poke you in the shoulder
Jagger: Well, I'm just after the money, but Katie has contacts in Blue Sun. She tells me that the corporation has been involved in some... rather interesting reseach.
Upper: Since I don't know who or what Blue Sun is..
Jagger *interrupts*: But they know who you are. You see, the're having a little trouble with some of their experiments. Unexpected results, you may say.
Upper: Still not getting how this has got anything to do with me.
Jagger: Well, it seems that there are some genetic traits that have been bred out of the human population in the past couple of thousand years. Genetic traits that they suspect may solve their problems. So they needed a...specimen from the past. They were monitoring activity to see where you would end up. They were waiting, but there was a miscalculation. Lucky for you you ended up in this ship, instead of in space. When they didn't find the body they sent us to search all the ships that were in close proximity to the area. And here you are.
*Upper pulls back*
Upper: But what about the bioweapons?
Jagger *grinning* Bonus! Two for the price of one.
Upper: Right. So where do we go from here?
Jagger: You get to go to my friends at Blue Sun, and I get rich.
Upper: Not sure that works for me, I...
*BRG enters the infirmary*
BRG: Right, Lin, you're free to go... do what ever you do on this ship.
Jagger: See you soon.
*Upper looks at the doctor, then at Jagger, then she rushes from the infirmary*
BRG: Did I say something?
Jagger *grinning*: No, I think it was me.

Wǒ xī wàng tā yǔ zhè yàng lì liang chén zhòng dǎ jī le tā de gāo wán zuò tā de yǎn jīng tú qǐ! *starts laughing in spite of herself* Do him some good, anyway.

Jagger: So, doc, what's your story?
BRG: Big, dark, and depressing.
Jagger: Look, I didn' ask you to describe it, I asked you to tell it.
BRG: *irritated* You're not really in a position to be ordering people around.
Jagger: That's what you think, isn't it?
*BRG closes the door to the infirmary and grabs a scalpel*
BRG: Yes. That is what I think. Now, tell me what it was you told Lin. OR I can start cutting. And not stop for a long, long time.
Jagger: Ha! Funny doctor, very funny!
*The scalpel starts to cut his right arm and Jagger yelps in surprise and pain*
Jagger: Alright! Alright! Blue Sun! They've been doing some genetic research but they needed a specimen from the past. They wanted to create one using DNA of a large ethnic group...
*BRG pushes harder on the scalpel*
BRG: DON'T LIE TO ME.
Jagger: AHH! Duh liou mahng! Tyen-sah hwoon dahn! Ok! Blue Sun was timing the girl's arrival, but they screwed up and she landed on this ship, so they sent us to search the ships in this area!
*The scalpel is put away and Jaggers wounds from it are treated, afterwards, BRG hits the com*
BRG: Captain Zero, Jagger is awake and conscious, I'm going to take him to the rest of the prisoners now.
*Jagger looks up at him confused*
Jagger: I don't need anymore attention for what you did to me?
BRG: *helps Jagger up and moves him in front of him* No. Now walk.

*BRG and Jagger reaches the quarters where the rest of the prisoners are. Spine is tying up the last of the others.
BRG: Another one to be tied up, Ian.
*Spine reaches for Jagger with an evil grin, and pulls his arms tightly behind him. Jagger grimaces with the pain. Spine notices the cuts on Jagger.*
Spine: Doc! You got some torture and you didn't call me?
BRG: I'm selfish that way
Spine *to Jagger*: Maybe I'll get my chance later!
Zero *over the com*: If you boys are all done down there, I would like to see you in the common area. Girls, you too. We have...things to discuss.
*The crew finishes up what they are doing and go to the common area. Everyone sits down.*
Zero: So, we have some stumbling blocks to deal with, and we will deal with them one by one. In addition we have that job waiting for us, and time is getting short. Now we must just decide what to do. At this time I am open to suggestions. *Zero looks around* Anyone?
Spine: We could just space 'em. Cast off their ship. Who would know? Then we could get on with the job.
BRG: Their employers would know. Not our wisest course.
Zero: Employers? I thought they were working for themselves.
BRG: No. They work for Blue Sun.
*Tillie and Tater gasp. Upper looks up for the first time*
Zero: What more do you know doctor?

Not much, but I... interrogated Jagger and got some information that is pretty valuable. Jagger and them came here for Upper. Blue Sun was doing some kind of genetic research and they found that... well, I guess something was missing. They needed a specimen from the past, someone... "pure". So they tracked Lin's arrival. Unfortunatly for them, they screwed it up and she landed on our ship. Blue Sun did record all the ships passing by there during that time, and I guess we were one of them because Jagger and his lot are here to take Lin.

*listens to BRGs explanation* Huh. Still can't see why anyone would want Upper. Only thing she's good for is target practice.*grins at Upper*
Upperson:*glares at Spinebite*
Spinebite:We could always sabotage their ship. Leave them without life support and make it look like an accident. Wouldn't do much good to keep them aboard. Though I want to cut up Jagger at least a little bit.
Zero:Wouldn't we all.
Spinebite:And theres still the matter of the biotoxins, if they are, in fact, aboard.

I'm fairly sure that they ARE aboard, Jagger just seems too dumb to lie like that, and all the histories of the ship check out. Also I looked at some of the stockpile reports from the end of the Unification War, seven barrels of biotoxins were listed as missing. It's more then possible that at least some of them could be here.
As for the Jagger problem, I have no idea... If it were up to me, I guess I'd kill 'em and them back to Blue Sun in body bags, since there isn't much we COULD do about their employers anyway...
