Perhaps we should try and look for those biotoxins right away. I mean, it would give it something to bargain with - well, that is depending on if we want to bargain...
*upperson looks around*
*everyone looks down*
We are going to bargain, aren't we?
Spine: We could still kill them
*upperson smiles at spine*
Spine: or we could just hand you over
Upperson: Just when I thought you were on my side...*pulls a wry face*

Tillie: Gotta disagree on this one. Don't make no kinda sense.
BRG: *looks up at Tillie, surprised* What?
Tillie: That biotoxin...
Spinebite: What about it?
Tillie: Jagger said there's how much?
Upperson: *brightly, being helpful* Seven barrels.
Tillie: Seven barrels. Hidden all this time.
BRG: Yes, yes. What's the problem?
Tillie: On the Wash? *laughs* That I been scrubbing and lubing and tightening every bolt of since I been aboard? Not likely.
Zero: Not likely? Ha! Not possible. Already told you people that. *glares at Spinebite and BRG*
Upperson: But aren't these ships full of all sorts of hiding places?
Zero: *between clenched teeth* And I know every one of them.
Tillie: Exactly. Don't make no kinda sense, is all. They woulda been found way back on Aquila. Daisuke-san would never have put the Wash into service with biotox or anything dangerous like that on board. The whole story smells.
Tatertot: *excited* Now I see what you're saying! It's just not possible!
Upperson: Maybe that Dice-kay-sahn fellow just didn't find them.
Zero: *with great patience* No offense, Lin, but you're not from here, and you don't know what you're talking about. This ship was rebuilt from top to bottom, from the spotlight to the reactor manifolds, back on Aquila before Captain Walker got the commission to take her up into the black. I was Walker's first mate, and was aboard since the beginning. The story's a load of go-se.
Tillie: A big, steaming pile of gǒu shǐ, Cap'n Zero. And it smells.

((Yay! Posts! *does happy dance* I'm not going to have a long post, but please everyone keep posting!))
*tater scratches her head tring to think up something helpful, but lets out a sigh when she pulls up a blank*
So, what do we do now?
Spine: I'm sticking with the whole, turn Upper in idea. *he grins at upper and she glares back*
That was your idea and its a bad one.....
*spine snorts*
Jie jie....do you got any ideas?

I suppose that it's a possibility that someone removed 'em before Aquila. If they sold 'em on the black market, the source would never be revealed.
Zero:Again, impossible. The WASH went straight to the shipyard after the war.
Tillie: Maybe it was the shipyard owner that found them.
Spinebite:We won't make much headway chasing after phantom biotoxins. I'm still onboard with the 'Kill Jagger' and 'Turn Upper in' ideas.*laughs*
Upperson:*glares at spinebite*
BRG:I agree. With the first idea, not the second one. We can't do much about Blue Sun, but we can take care of their henchmen.
Tillie:I agree.
Upperson:Me too.
Tartertot:*still thinking, looks up* Same here.*goes back to thinking*
Spinebite:Long as my knife gets a workout, I'm onboard.
Zero:*nods* Sounds like we have a plan.

Tillie: Know what? Gotta change my mind. I don't agree. Not with any of it. The whole thing smells.
Spinebite: Now what?!
Tillie: Maybe Jagger deserves to go to the hot place for what he done, but I ain't ready to send 'im there. Not without answers, true answers. He ain't gonna give us nothing but lies, fine; find out who wants him dead more'n us and tell Jagger we're gonna sell 'im to them. Maybe knowing he's on his way to Niska's playroom or some such will loosen his tongue enough to tell why he really boarded the Wash.
Zero: I guarantee you there's a lot of folks wouldn't mind cuttin' a piece outta his hide.
Spinebite: Count me in.
Upperson: No kidding...
BRG: Could be there's a price on his head.
Tatertot: Maybe we could collect a shiny bounty for turning him in.
Tillie: But I want to know the truth first.
Spinebite: What truth? We all know why he came on board the Wash. *glares at Upperson, who glares back at him*
Tillie: Ever since Jagger came aboard we been lied to. *counts on her fingers* Need for medical assistance was a lie. Biotoxins on board was a lie. Two out of three? How much you wanna bet the Upperson story ain't lies too?
Upperson: Thanks for that.
Zero: They may not all be lies, Tillie. Blue Sun wanting Upperson sounds reasonable to me.
BRG: Of course the patient needing medical attention was a ruse designed to get them admitted onto the ship.
Tatertot: But why the lie about the biotoxins?
BRG: Another ruse? But why?
Zero: *smiles grimly, an idea forming* He wanted us distracted. He wanted us searching all over the boat so we wouldn't be paying attention --
BRG: Sleight of hand!
Tillie: Misdirection, like a --
Tatertot: Like a magic trick!
Tillie: But what was he directing our attention away from?
Spinebite: Cargo hold, he said something about the cargo hold.
Zero: Yeah, but he wanted us to look there.
Tatertot: Did he want us to find something there?
