Who knew we'd make it to a third thread? Heard #2 was gettin' too long and clunky, so here's our next page.

Keep up the good work, crew.

Maybe, maybe not, but I think we really should be watching them. My vote goes to Spine getting information out of Jagger. I got some myself, which means the guy is a whimp. Cut him a bit and he'll spill everything. I suppose I could watch the other prisoners, but I have doubts that they'll be a real threat. Jagger is the one I'm worried about.

Spinebite: I like the part where I torture him. Now can we get back the cargo hold thing?

Yeah, yes, sorry I interrupted. Continue, please.

Tillie: Well, as far as the sub-floor goes, o' course I ain't done a real clean since we got back, but I did do a quick sweep up; just the usual huī tǔ and a mess o' rubber bullets *grins at Spinebite*. Wasn't lookin' real close, but it didn't seem no different from the last time I been down there. Just the shells and bullets, nothin' special.

Upperson: Sub-floor?

Tillie: Floor of the cargo hold's got both solid plates and grating. You walk on the grating it's like a boot-scraper, all the dirt and mud and such falls beneath. Gotta get under it and clean it out every so often so the dust don't get sucked into the atmo filters. They're a helluva lot harder to clean than a floor, dong ma -- I mean, do you understand?

Upperson: Yes, thanks.

Tillie: Plus, ain't good t' have stuff rattlin' around loose. Anything ain't stowed away is liable to cause trouble if the grav shuts off.

Spinebite: An' I stacked the containers and secured the nets before we started target practice. I didn't see nothing different neither. Same crates as always, didn't weigh any different or nothin'.

huī tǔ = dust, mud

Well, what happens now?

Zero: Well, I think Ian gets some private time with Jagger while the doc has a look in on the rest of our guests. Tillie, I think you're on to something with the sub-floor. It tends to get less attention, and the cargobay would be the most accesible to someone sneaking on to the ship. Ian, soon as you have an idea what we may be looking for, let Tillie know. Tater, check the bridge, is anybody else out there? And if so how close.

BRG: Am I asking any questions?

Zero: See what you can find out. Perhaps someone else knows what the cargo is.

The crew starts splitting up to do their assigned tasks.

Upperson *looking at zero* what about me?

Zero: Lets have a little talk. Who are you?

Upper: I swear captain, I told you what I know is the truth! If I'm not who I say I am, then I don't know it.

Zero *looks away, and then back at upper*: I hope for your sake that is true. But if you are a danger to my ship, my crew, I will not hesitate to do what is necessary.

*upper nods and turns away*

Spine *over the com* Captain, I got something, you might want to hear this.

*Zero hurries down to the guest quarters where spine is interrogating Jagger*

*Spinebite grabs Jagger by the wounded arm and drags him to the guest quarters and takes out his knife* Now, you and I are going to have a little conversation. What were you looking for aboard this ship.

Jagger:I told you, biotoxins and your friend from the past.

Spine:Wrong answer.*stabs Jagger in the thigh* Now, I'm gonna ask again. What were you looking for?

Jagger:*face goes white with pain* Okay! There were no biotoxins.

Spinebite:There, was that so hard?*twists knife* What did you want us to look for?

Jagger:Nothing! It was all about Upperson!

Spine:Wrong again.*Cuts Jagger's right ear off*

Jagger:*screams*Okay, okay, fine! We wanted you all in the cargo hold!

Spine:Why?

Jagger:So we could jump you all at once.

Spine:Now, see, I know that ain't true.*cuts Jagger's right hand off*What did you want us to look for?

Jagger:*screams and clutches the bleeding stump* Canisters of genetic material! The same accident that transported Upper onto your ship transported canisters of genetic material as well. Genetic material that Blue Sun needs for its experiments.

Spine *over the com* Captain, I got something, you might want to hear this.

*Zero hurries down to the guest quarters where spine is interrogating Jagger*

Zero:What?

Spine:Alright, you rat. Tell her what you told me.

Jagger:*explains the whole thing*

Spine:Very good.*kicks Jagger in the head, knocking him unconscious*

Zero:Have Tillie start searching the sub-floor and get the doc to drag this thing*gestures at Jagger* to the medbay.

"Pain is scary."

*tater who is on her way to the bridge bumps into Spine walking out of the guest quarters*

Spine: Oh sorry Tot didn't see you there, your too tiny.

*tater glares up at spine* No your just a big ape....*spine laughs*

*BRG comes out next dragging along an unconscious Jagger, tater notices he is bleeding at the thigh, he's ear was cut off, and worse yet....his right hand was gone*

*tater lets out a huge gasp and puts her hand to her mouth*

What the hell?! Spine isn't that a little too much....

Spine: Nope. It was just enough.

But you cut off his ear....and-and his hand!

Spine: C'mon he deserved it...why are you so upset? He hit you.

I-I know but....

Spine: *snorts* Just go fly the ship, and play with your Potato dolls and forget all this ever happened, dong ma? This don't consern you anyhow...

*tater nods, as Spine follows BRG to the infirmary*

*tater continues on her way to the bridge, when she gets to the controls she looks out into the black... What is wrong with these people? Is this how its always going to be?...maybe I don't belong here.... A few stray tears escape from her eyes but she wipes them away quickly.
She takes out her Mr.Potatohead dolls, and without thinking she removes the ear on one of them. Like anyone could forget seeing something like that...*

*puts Jagger onto the table* Well, it looks like he may bleed to death. Not that I really care...

Spinebite: Well we got what we needed, didnt we?

I suppose so, the guy is a disgusting little puke. *starts gathering bandages* I saw worse in the war. Much worse, many of those survived... I really hope that this guy doesnt. And I honestly dont feel wrong to think that.

Spinebite: Aww, now that just aint nice doc.

Sarcasm works. Wont put Jagger's hand back on, but it fixes the emotion... and now I'm making no sense.

Spinebite: Doc, you just fix him up real nice so that I have a chance to stab him again.

Suppose that wont be a problem....

Tillie: *on her hands and knees under the cargo hold grating* Can't believe she's still falling for the same old lā jī from that jiān xiǎn shuō huǎng zhē. Ian's even worse, though. If he's really the one who bit Jagger's back, he should know better than to think physical harm is the answer. Then again, don't think he knows any other way, poor thing. *sneezes* Ow, ruttin' stitches, can't even breathe deep without bustin' one or two.

lā jī = trash
jiān xiǎn = crafty and dangerous
shuō huǎng zhē = liar

*squats on the floor and looks at the bloody mess* That's for Aura, you pig.

*angrily hits the comm button* Tillie, tell me what you got.

Tillie: *sneezes* Nothin' yet, Cap'n. Still lookin'.

Hwoon dahn!

Tillie: *still under the grating* Gettin' real itchy down here; must not've scrubbed as well as I thought. *patting the floor on either side of her* C'mon girl, if there's somethin' to find show it to me. Give up yer secrets so I can go tell Zero an' get a nice cup of tea. *lies down flat on the floor* Gotta rest just a minute, catch my breath. Ruttin' sutures. *while she's lying there quietly, she hears noises overhead: a low groan and some rustling of fabric*

Female voice: Gorram useless... Come in, come in, gorramit! *crackle of a hand-com* Psyche, it's Kate - you read? *crackle* We're about humped, gorram Jag-- *crackle* Naw, they're out. *crackle* Hypos, I think. *crackle* Hell, I was in the gorram bay, how'm I supposed to know? *crackle* Must've been the doc and the mech, they were the only ones in the med-- *crackle* Six, just like you saw yourself in the scan. *crackle* I'm telling you: Zero, crew of four, and Upperson. *crackle* Yeah, four! Pilot, mechanic, doctor, and the gunhand. Turns out he's -- *crackle* You should! I heard Jagger screaming. Might be dead already, for all I -- *crackle* Well, hurry, will ya? I'm tied to these two --*crackle* Psyche! Psyche? Gorramit!
