In her dorm, Scathac became aware of a ruckus: voices, and people walking down the corridor. Possibly trouble, better to be prepared, she thought. Quietly, she opened the long wooden case and pondered it's contents. Finally, she withdrew her sword. An ancient style, hearkening back to China on Earth-That-Was, Scathac held it expertly, and backed into the wall next to her door. She opened the latch and listened.
"The world is a mess. I just need to rule it."

Ivy woke to hear the ruckus coming from down the hallway and opened her eyes. She felt disoriented, fuzziness fading in and out of her mind.
Her mind cleared for a second as she reached over and grabbed the gun from between the cushions with her left hand and looked warily down the hallway. She could hear them, but not see them.
"I gotta hide."
Ivy nodded her head slightly as a sense of vertigo washed over her. Shakily, she took the gun back with her right hand, shoved it back in between the cushions, pushing it deep inside and hiding it from view. Then she fell back against the sofa, closed her eyes and faded into a semi-unconscious state.

OOC: How old is everyone who is playing in RL (that would be YOU in REAL LIFE, not your character's age)? It is nice to know who is what, just in case.
Answer via the OOC thread, so we don't fill up this one with OOC posts, OK?
For those of you who don't know where that is, it is:

Sitting on her bed, Cate feels like she could be doing more, but decides against putting herself in danger when she's been asked to stay in her quarters.
Still, she gets out her revolver and waits to see if any danger walks into her room.

Hello, Kellen! That is your name, right? Would there be any chance that you might be able to escort me to the bridge? Since you've applied to be crew and all? It would be a shame to be traveling in space without having once seen the stars, wouldn't it? I've always wanted to be among the stars since I was a little girl, you know, but it's just like being in an ordinary building right now, and it just doesn't seem right, being in a spaceship and all. So, could you, please?
(OOC: *Facepalm*. Missed Aky's post! Gah!)
Kellen: Awrit-
A warning goes off and passangers are told to go back to their dorms.

And with that, Kellen climbs into his dorm...

As they entered the passenger dorm, John felt pretty much everyone. They had scurried back to their beds but he noticed something that caught his attention, but he could handle it no need to make a scene.
"I think we're all clear captain" John said to him, "I'll make sure we don't have a situation like this."
"It's my boat I can handle it myself," the captain responded raising his gun.
"It's not the kind of problem you can shoot a gun at. I'm serious let me fix it sir. If River and I can't handle it, then I'll point your gun in the right direction."
"Fine, but you convinced me to let these folks on board so any problems they cause are on your little psychic conscience."

*nods, then hurries to her dorm before she gets caught and maybe questioned. She'd almost certainly become a suspicious character, and that's the last thing she needs. Once inside, she starts pacing through boredom and frustration, until a rustle in her sleeve distracts her from doing so. The sleeve rustles some more, and then a little brown mouse comes scampering up her arm. Aiko smiles, and starts talking to it.*
"I'll bet you're hungry, aren't you?"
*rumages through her robe, and pulls out a cannister from one of the numerous pockets inside her robe. Aiko pops open the lid, which reveals it to be full of soft-looking, light brown pellets. She feeds a couple to the mouse, and then closes the cannister and places it back in it's pocket*
"Would you like to do a little spying for me, little one?"
*the mouse squeaks. Aiko attaches a minuscule recorder around it's middle, opens the door a little, and shoos it out.*
"Go hide"
*the mouse scuttles off, Aiko shuts the door completely, and sits on the bed, thinking, being careful to compose herself, looking entirely innocent without being so innocent as to be suspicious, in case someone barged in. She talks to herself to get a voice in the empty room, softly so it wouldn't be heard outside the door.*
"I think I might be a little too paranoid... it can't hurt, but I think there's a limit... ah well, I'm just being nervous... new enviroment, not being entirely welcomed, when I'm only quasi-legal anyway... and I suspect these are ruffians too, not entirely legal themselves... something of interest, but very dangerous... And it's always taxing to deal with the authorities, when trying to bring someone to the light of the law, and it's just not worth it. I'll have to see if I can discover more about just what they do... I have the hunch they're doing something quasi or even ill-legal, and if I can find out what it is, I could possibly use it for blackmail... Ah, I'm too impatient, I must learn to wait! I know Taichi is very well trained, but still... in a strange enviroment! Aye, I know that he faces that much of the time... I just worry about him so..." *sighs*

Scathac listened at the door until she was somewhat assured that no one was going to come breaking in. She started to return the sword to the wooden case, and let out a sigh as the tension left. She felt ridiculously paranoid for a moment - she had been too long in the quiet safety of her father's home, now she jumped at every sound!
"However, these are troubled times..." she whispered, and went to check the latch of her compartment door. After all, she thought, she had spent a lifetime honing her instincts and perceptions, and there was no sense in ignoring it if something had her jumpy.

"Okay folks, it's all clear but an alarming number of you were in fact out of your rooms. Just make sure you're either in the galley or with a crew membernmext time." As the captain finished talking River camedown the stairs and toward John. He looked at her and gestured toward one of the doors. She followed him up to Ivy's door and politely knocked.

Ivy pulled herself to consciousness and sat up. It took her a second to figure out where she was. She was in the common area by the infirmary. She dug the gun out of the cushions and decided to look around a bit.
"Leave it here; too many people still about."
Ivy nodded and shoved it back down in. and picked up her blanket. She was feeling a bit shaky about this evening's events so she decided to go back to her bunk. Maybe she could wedge herself into a corner and try to get some sleep.
"You shouldn't wander about so much, Tommy," Ivy whispered under her breath.
"Those people are a little trigger happy. We need to get off this ship."
Ivy sighed as she started to turn the corner. She caught a glimpse of two people standing outside her bunk door. One was John and the other she didn't know. Ivy ducked back behind the corner.
