Shiny and Path make it back to Tranquility, Path Parks the shuttle. Shiny gets out and looks the shuttle over mumbling to herself.
Shiny turns around to see the twins standing behind her.
Shiny smiles at them,
Storm looks at shiny with a scared look on his face. " things have changed, we are in danger."
Shiny see's the look on storms face and knows.. he means what he says.
Shiny puts her hand on storms shoulder, "dont worry".
Storm looks at shiny: "The Captain is in the Dark." storm walks away.
Shiny and path exchange looks,
Shiny trying to just focus on the task at hand :" we should get this shuttle working in no time."
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

(Nighttime in the cargo bay)
(Elbarto all geared up heads up the stairs to shuttle 1. When he enters the shuttle he sees Kat in the Pilots chair)
El: You ready?
Kat: Am I ready? All I'm doing is fly, you're the one who is gonna jump.
El: As far as we know, they haven't released the captain, so I'm going to extract him. Remember, you have to be at least three miles up.
Kat: Yeah, I got it.
(Three miles above the city)
El: Ok, this is my stop.
Kat: You come back in one piece you hear?
El: Don't worry about me. See you soon babe.
(Kat turns to glare at him for the babe remark only to find that Elbarto has already jumped.)
(Elbarto lands on the roof of the Outpost with no problems. He quietly makes his way to the jail. He takes out the guard at the jail and looks in the cells, only to find them all empty.)
El: What the hell?
Voice: FREEZE
(Elbarto drops to one knee and spins, firing at the voice with a pistol in each hand. The man, expected Elbarto's reaction drops into a doorway. Elbarto ducks into another doorway.)
Voice: You can't get out of hear alive. I'm standing in the only exit, with a whole team at my back.
(Elbarto puts both his pistols out from cover and fires off some shots. The shots are returned and for a few seconds, a furious gun battle ensues.)
Voice: Hold your fire!!! Look, if you come with us, we will spare the shuttle that dropped you. You see we were expecting you to pull a stunt like this, so we increased the radius of the radar. We can send two fighters and take out the shuttle, or you can surrender. Your choice.
(Elbarto counts his rounds in his magazines. He has only 5 rounds left.)
(Elbarto thinking): If I surrender, I can spare Kat, and I can live to fight another day.
(Elbarto tosses his guns out of the doorway.)
El: Ok, I surrender.
(As soon as Elbarto leaves his cover, 3 tranquilizer darts enter his chest. He drops to the ground)
Voice(Into his comm): This is team leader, we have the package, departing now.
When you can't run you crawl. When you can't do that...well...you know the rest.

As Kat guides the shuttle up and away she is smiling, thinking about how she can get Elbarto back for the 'babe' comment when they meet up. As she is conjuring up ways to torment him, her brain suddenly clicks into overdrive.
Why did they let El and Shiny go when they Shiny tried to hand over El to them?
How did they get through without seeing any other ships?
How come there were no perimeter guards when the shuttle was flying out....?
Kat grabs the Comm:
"Listen up, we have a BIG problem..."
You are beholden to no man

* inside the hidden caves in the deep desert, the desert dwellers [THE GUILD] begin their proceedure on SHADOWCAPTAIN.
he has been sedated and moved to a sterile operating room. *
DOCTOR #1: "he's asleep. scalpel."
DOCTOR #2 hands a laser scalpel to the 1st doctor.
a short time later the proceedure is complete: a microchip has been implanted into SHADOWS neck.
DOCTOR #1: "contact SENSEI OJIN, tell him
'the package is ready'."

* SHADOW wakes up on the ground in front of TRANQUILITY.
dazed, he walks up the ramp leading into the ship. *
SHADOW starts walking to the bridge.
thinks-'where is everyone?'
reaching the bridge, he finally sees someone... O2, sitting at the controls.
SHADOW: "finally, a friendly face."
O2: "captain, welcome back. how did you escape?"
SHADOW: "i'm not rightly sure. O2, where is eveyone?"
O2: "SHINY is with THE TWINS and PATHFINDER checking out shuttle 2. DOCKCAT is out looking for you in shuttle 1. OREO and ELBARTO are missing."
SHADOW: "O2, com everyone that you can reach.
get them to the galley. we'll make plans once we know what the situation is."

(Location unknown)
(A woman looks from the corner of the cell as guards bring in Elbarto's body. the guards toss Elbarto's body onto a cot and empty a syringe into his arm.)
Guard: That will wake him up in a couple of minutes.
(As soon as the guards leave the room, the woman hurries towards Elbarto. She puts a pillow under his head and covers him up with a blanket. Just as she's about to pull away, Elbarto's hand reaches out and grabs her.)
El: Where am I?
Woman: I don't know where we are?
El: Ok, I'll start with an easier question. What is your name?
Woman: Claire
El: Hey Claire, I'm Elbarto.
(Elbarto stands up with a little difficulty. When he reaches his feet, he shakes his head, clearing it. Elbarto then takes his first real look at the cell. It is very sterile, and painted painfully white. It has no windows, and one door.)
Elbarto: hmm, quaint.
Claire: Is that all you have to say, we are gonna die here.
(Elbarto shrugs)
El: I've been to worse places. As for dying here.....Well that has yet to be seen.
(Elbarto turns to look at Claire)
El: I've also had worse company.
Claire: What do you mean "Has yet to be seen" We are in the heart of an Alliance facility.
El: I'm still breathing, which means I'm still fighting. Listen to me Claire. Never give up. I never have and I never will. The day you give up is the day you become useless. Besides, when I break out of here, I might take you with me.
Claire: But you just met me.
El: That's true, but you are here which means the Alliance wants you for something, and if I take you away from them, thats just another win for me.
(Claire thinking) This man is so cold.....Yet there seems to be something more beneath the surface.
(While Claire and Elbarto are talking, a man walks up to the cell door.)
The man: Hello Gideon its been awhile.
(Elbarto whips around at the sound of the name Gideon, and sees Colonel Cole.)
El: You son of a bitch.
Cole: So you do remember me Gideon, or is it Elbarto now? Its been sixteen years since we last saw each other face to face.
El: When I get out of here, you are a dead man.
Cole: I've been waiting to get a hold of you for a long time, what makes you think you can escape?
El: I can escape, because you made one huge mistake. You left me alive.
Cole: Of course you're alive. You're no good to me dead Gideon.
El: What is it that you want from me anyway?
Cole: You still don't know do you? (Cole laughs) Gideon, you are the other side of evolution. Not quite as impressive as the Mental side, but impressive none the less.
El: What are you talking about?
Cole: There are humans that can read minds, truly gifted humans. We know that that is part of evolution. However, that is only half of it. One side of a coin if you will. The other side is people like you. People that are gifted physically. People like you. You are slightly faster, slightly stronger, slightly more agile than normal humans. However, add that to your lifetime of training and combat, and you get a true killing machine.
El: ..........
Cole: We have been able to beat evolution though. Through science we have created even better weapons. However, you are an untampered subject. you can still be useful to us. Let these thoughts sink in Gideon. You can still be part of something great.
(Cole leaves Elbarto to ponder these thoughts.)
El: I always knew I was gifted, but this is a little much.
(Elbarto thinking) I really have to get out of here. That man has to die. He has done so much he needs to atone for.
When you can't run you crawl. When you can't do that...well...you know the rest.

SHADOW walks into the galley and sees PATH and SHINY sitting at the table. then THE TWINS chase each other in.
"well, O2 has sent the message for everyone to return to the ship. looks like we'll be 'crew huntin' if we don't hear word soon."
SHADOW leans against the galley wall and waits...
STORM thinking:
*...or they may be 'hunting' for us.*
SUMMER: turns to STORM -
"dragons hunting fireflies..."
"where's KAT?"
