*In the Infirmary*
Shiny walks over to a cabinet to find some bandages.
Oreo is sitting on a stool with his head in his hands.
Oreo:'is it really true that I'm part of this crew?.
Shiny:" yea its true'.
Oreo;" what about Kat. is she really my sister?
Shiny:" Oreo look at me"
Oreo lifts his head and looks at shiny.
Shiny: "Oreo I need you to trust me,
I would neverlie to you or try to deceive you in any way.
You are part of this crew, but this crew is special.. We are family, You are part of this family.
We will help you in anyway possible.
Shiny sits down:"now will you help me bandage up my leg"?
Oreo walks over to shiny and starts putting antiseptic on her wounds.
Shiny is grimacing from the sting.
Oreo:" why would care so much about me?
Shiny: " right now... I want to hit you.
Oreo looks at Shiny with a concerned look on his face.
Shiny laughs:" just wrap my leg.
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

(The Captain walks into the infirmary)
Captain- Well heres a sight I thought i never see. Oreo doin the doctorin'.
(captain Looks at shiny)
Captain-How are you feelin'?
(Shiny, still grimacing from the sting of the antiseptic)
Shiny- I'm shiny captain, Oreo here is doing a crack job of fixin me up here...course, if it hadn't been for him tossin me round like a rag doll in the first place....
(Oreo, lets the comment go and continues to finish)
Captain- Well, Oreo wouldn't be Oreo if he differnet go round tossin folks about. Thats what I hired him for, but i would like it if the tossin' was to dealt towards folks who weren't art of this boat. Dong Ma?
(Oreo still not sure about the whole situation, looks up at shiny and nods his head in agreeance)
Captian- Well, i just came to let you know what the plan is.
Shiny- (sarcastically) wow, we have a plan?
Captain- Yes, Shiny, on few occassions i do come up with a plan or at least i try to.
(Captain looks over at Oreo)
captain- Seems there might be a way to get oreo memory back, by use of a neuro- logic-thing or other
Shiny- you mean a 3D neurolizer, it's used to project a 3D image of the.....
(Captain Cuts of Shiny)
Captain- Yes, that thing. But according to path, the only places we can find one is an Alliance Medical Facilty. So you know what that means.
Shiny- we have to be bad guys again?
Captain- Yep. Also, we'll be making a stop on Aquila for a spell, gotta make good on a little business there.
Shiny- And Elbarto?
Captain- As soon as we can jump start Oreo head again and get him back to his old self, well the "self" we're used to, then we go get El.
Oreo- sounds like a plan...
(captain pats oreo on the back)
captain- see, i'm starting to like him again already. Chows in Ten.
(captain leaves the infirmary)
Oreo- there...you shouldn't put to much weight on it, might start to bleed again.
Shiny- great, so how am i supposed to get to the galley.
(Oreo sets the rest of the bandages on the counter and then scopes up Shiny into his arms.)
Shiny(thinking to herself)- Ask a stupid question...Get oreo carrying me to the galley
(With shiny in Oreo arms, he turns and leaves the infirmary heading towards the galley.)
Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.

(In a hallway)
(As the eight guards take El back to his cell. a ninth guard appears)
Guard 9: I need four of you. a new shipment is coming in and you guys know what that's like.
(Four guards follow the new guard down a hallway)
Elbarto (Thinking): This is my best chance.
(Elbarto reaches into his back and grabs the knife he has tucked in there. He uses the blade to free his hands. He takes the knife and jabs it into a guards neck. Then he steps behind a second guard and puts him in a neck hold. The front two guards turn around, guns blazing. The bullets go into the armor of the guard Elbarto is holding hostage. El then uses the guards gun to kill the front two. Finally he breaks the last guards neck. Elbarto realizes he has only a minute or two to get to Claire. Elbarto straps an assault rifle to his back, and takes four pistols from the guards. He puts two pistols in the small of his back, and one in each hand. He takes off to get Claire.)
(Elbarto makes it to the cell without running into anyone.)
Claire: Gideon!
El: Claire we are getting out of here.
(El throws claire a pistol)
El: Know how to use one of these?
(Claire catches the gun and chambers a round)
Claire: You bet.
(Claire looks into El's face and sees him smiling)
Claire: You're having fun aren't you?
El: Is is that obvious? I love the thrill of battle. Battle is where my sense are heightened the most. Plus you heard what Cole said. I'm a killing machine. I would hate to disappoint.
(As if on cue a guard rushes around the corner)
Guard: Freeze!
(Without looking, Elbarto raises a pistol and shoots the guard in the head.)
Elbarto: Lets move.
(Elbarto and Claire start running down the hallway.)
Claire: What's the plan?
Elbarto: We need to find a radio so i can contact my ship. Then were gonna make our way to the motor pool and steal something with wheels.
Claire: That's it?
Elbarto: Don't worry, things are bound to get more complicated.
When you can't run you crawl. When you can't do that...well...you know the rest.

the crew meets in the galley.
"ok, here's the deal, we should be landing shortly on AQUILA. this will just be a brief visit.
OJIN needs to see me, plus he may have intel on ELBARTOS whereabouts, his spy guild is everywhere.
he'll also have detailed info on the neuro-thinga-whatchy that OREO needs, beins' that AQUILA has many medical experts."
"to get inside the ALLIANCE medical facility we'll have to dress like a cleaning crew... maybe KAT can create some badges for us.
PATHFINDER you'll probably have to run the neuro-thinga-whatchy once we get inside the ALLIANCE complex."
"SHINY, you'll stay on TRANQUILITY with THE TWINS and O2."
"now let's eat and get to AQUILA."
"O2, take us in when you're ready."
SUMMER looks at STORM who is leaning over.
SUMMER: "are you ok?"
STORM: " i don't feel right."

(summer and Storm sit across from Oreo,Staring at him. Ocassionally whispering to one another)
Storm(Whisper)- He's sad...
Summer(Whisper)- I know...
Storm (Whisper)- but I can't read his mind, he's blocking.
(summer continues to stare)
Storm(Whisper)- I don't feel right...
(Shiny notices the twins staring at oreo, she signals to them to stop staring, but she herself can't help but to take a glance at Oreo)
Shiny(thinking to herself)- What are you thinking?
(captain suddenly Breaks the the silence that is surrounding the table)
Captain- After we rescue El, and get Oreo's brain pan working right, we need to see bout making some coin, which menas we need to start finding some deeds need be doin.
Kat- But Captian, you seen the wanted posters and the news on the cortex, everybody is lookin for us.
Captain- Yep, I was thinkin per-maybe-haps we hit some of the backwater towns, the Mudder's camps and the like. Can't restock and make repairs with cashy money.
(Shiny suddenly speaks out)
Shiny-I wanna go with Path and Oreo...
(captian folds his arms)
Shiny- Well, that just ain't gonna happen. You're the best with the twins. can you imagine o2 babysittin? It be like two telepathic bulls runn circle round a rodeo clown.
(o2 shots the captain a look of sarcastic gratitude)
Shiny- But captian, i've been there with Oreo everytime he's been hurt, it might make the whole gorramn thing go more smoothly with him havin me there.
captain- And what if it don't go smooth...
Kat-which it usually don't
Captian- Will you stop that?
(kat tries to hide a slight smirk)
Captain- What if Oreo decides to go all wooly and start hurlin you about again. I can't afford to loose the verse's greatest mechanic.
(Summer stands up)
Summer- he won't. He want's to be better.He wants to remember.
(Storm grabs Summer by the wrist)
Storm- what are you doing summer? you can't read his mind, remember?
Summer- no, but i can feel his heart.
(the crew looks at Oreo, who is deep in thought and not wary of the conversation going on around him)
Shiny- Please captian, Let me go?
(captian,still staring at oreo leans forward in his chair, arms still folded)
Captain- What do you think Oreo? Oreo?
(Shiny shakes oreo to try and snap him out of his trance. Oreo suddenly face forward, his face landing square on the table and he begins snoring)
Captain(Surprised look on his face)- tell me he didn't just pass out...
(kat leans over and removes a napkins that covering an empty bottle of whiskey)
Shiny- wow this whole time, i thought he was just deep in thought.
Path- I guess its nice to see some things haven't changed.
(The whole crew begins to laugh, something that hadn't been done in quite some time)
Captain (still chuckleing)- you know, someone is going to have to carry him to his bunk.
(The crew suddenly becomes quiet. a few seconds of staring at on another goes by and then in unison)
The crew- I think he'll be fine here.
(And continue laughing about the situation)
Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.

"did OREO just go crazy and pass out?...
or am I going crazy... because i'm going to let shiny go on the mission... and then he passed out? i think it's the latter."
"we actually may need a mechanic for this job because we will need to acquire, or build, a small ship to move around on the planet.
that means KAT, you'll have to stay with TRANQUILITY, dong ma? if anything happens to us, you come down and get us, savvy?
if we are going to look like a real 'cleaning company', or better yet 'maintenance' company and walk through the front door, we'll need to have our own vehicle, and SHINY can put one together, plus we can't just fly into ALLIANCE space with TRANQUILITY. OJIN may have a vehicle we can use, if not, we'll hit a scrapyard for parts."
" 'kay, we should be breakin' atmo' in a few... so prep for a short stop then it's off to... i think ARIEL, that would be the likeliest place for the kind of tech. that we need."
"KAT, start the hacking of the ALLIANCE system and set it up so that we are the new maintenance company. then tell their system that there is a problem on the same floor level where the neuro-thinga-watchy is, so we can get there a little easier."
SHADOW starts to walk out of the galley and turns around:
"...and when we land, someone please wake up SK... i mean OREO."
STORM looks at SUMMER: "i really DO feel sick and dizzy."
PATFINDER walks over to STORM and puts his hand on STORMS head. then looks to the group.
"he's burning up! let's get him to his room. OREO must have brought something back from SILAS 5 with him. these TWINS would have a different immune system than we do, we never thought of that."
PATHFINDER looks at SUMMER:
"we better check both of you out."

TRANQUILITY sets down in DRAGONBACK mountains of AQUILA.
KAT shakes OREO to wake him up. they join the rest of the crew outside the ship, except for SHINY, who stays aboard TRANQUILITY to take care of THE TWINS who are now both showing signs of the same sickness.
the crew is greeted by SENSEI OJIN and his staff and lead to a banquet hall for a meal that includes real food.
while the crew is still eating , OJIN leans over to SHADOW to whisper something.
OJIN: "SHADOW, there is a pressing matter that needs to be addressed now, please follow me."
the two get up from the long banquet table, almost unnoticed in the festivities, and proceed out of the hall, down a long corridor, and into a small medical room.
OJIN: "please sit down SHADOW, this should just take a moment."
OJIN takes out a small laser scalpel.
OJIN: "turn around please."

Ojin anesthetizes the back of Shadows neck and uses the laser scalpel to quickly remove a microchip from the base of his neck.
Ojin: "I'm sorry that we had to use you as a 'carrier' for this information Shadow, but this data is too important and i needed it urgently.
Shadow: "So that's why my neck was bothering me. How'd that get there? What is it? Why was it there? Who put it there?
Ojin: "Slow down my old friend. Here's what is happening:
The Alliance has many secret projects, one of them is your friend Oreo, as a subject in the 'Operation Reaver Echo One' [Two and Three] Project.
Another is 'The Gemini Project', which the Twins Storm and Summer are part of.
This latest project is called 'The T.S.R. Echo'.
It is a hybrid project of the 1st 2. It is generating 'Super Reavers' with heightened awareness and mental powers, and always produces twins -
1 male (xy chromosomes), and 1 female (xx chromosomes).
My spies from the Desert Guild on the Dust planet learned of this secret Alliance project when they infiltrated the underground base there, not the 'outpost' that's in the small town, but a large, subterranean complex in the desert. A perfect place for a hidden base-inhospitable for miles around.
When you were in the jail on Dust planet, The Guild arranged for you to be set free into the desert, where you could be 'retrieved' and brought to the Guild base. Then we inserted this chip in your neck for transport here.
We use humans for this sort of transport for many reasons:
1. The human body acts as an insulator for the chip.
2. This method also reduces the chance that the chip may be stolen or lost.
3. It also reduces the risk of damage.
I'm sorry we had to use you like this my friend but this Alliance project must be stopped and the data on this chip, and the 1st chip that we received a few days ago by the 1st 'carrier', is of the highest importance.
Shadow accepts the apology from his old teacher, then they reminisce of the the time when Shadow was rescued from raiders on his homeworld [planet Shadow] and brought to Aquila when he was just 7 years old, were he was given The nickname 'Shadow'.
Finally the two rejoin the banquet.
Shadow: "Sensei, I'm worried about my crew member Elbarto. He's also on Dust planet but missing, and we fear the worst.
Ojin: "I do not think we've heard the last from my old student Elbarto. When he was here on Aquila before he joined your ship, he was more than just a guard. He is ninja trained and an expert in desert survival. If he doesn't escape outright, he may send You or I a signal to reveal his location. he could convert any type of electronic device into a beacon if so needed. If he needs water he could dig deeply into the sand and extract the moisture from the wet sand below."
If you dig deep enough, Shadow, you can usually find what you need."
The two finish their conversation.
Ojin is seen encouraging Oreo, then giving a small device to Pathfinder.
Finally Ojin asks Shadow one last thing:
Ojin: "Shadow, when you are on Ariel, if you can, please try to locate the any information about another of my old students, Derrial Book, it would mean a lot to me."
The Tranquility crew begins to prepare for the next mission: Ariel
Shadow: "O2, clear all your plastic dinosaurs off the control panel and take us out to the black."
Shiny: "So, about this 'ship' we need for
'the maintainence job', are we buildin' a ship or fixin' a ship?"

Once you all decide let me know.
Shiny walks to the infirmary.
Shiny: Hi Path, are the twins sick?
Pathfinder walks over to Shiny and whispers.
"somethings not right,
their both showing signs of a sickness,
but my reader is saying their fine".
Path looks at shiny, "This concern's me,
We need to quarantine them, Until I find out whats going on."
Shiny,: "quarantine? isn't that a little drastic?
You should talk to Captain first,
plus maybe their bodies are doing a good job at fighting the sickness off"?
Path: "Shiny somethings wrong, you need to remember these twins where part off a breeding program through the alliance,
Their is more to this than meets the eye.
And I aim to find it out.
Perhaps I will wait on the quarantine,
But If I feel it's necessary I will.
Shiny; "well...you know better than us."
Shiny turns to walk away then stops, "path are we in any danger?"
Pathfinder looks at the twins then back at shiny.
"I don't know shiny, I hope not."
Path grabs his scanner and starts scanning summer.
Shiny watches path for a minuet then leaves.
She walks to the galley and sits down.
She's in deep thought.
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

(Ojin turns to leave with the Captain leaving Oreo and kat in the Hallway, suddenly Oreo callaspes. Kat Quickly kneels down to aid him)
Kat- my god...
(Kat immediately jerks her hands away from him, the captain and ojin come running back)
Captian- Kat, what the hell happened?
Kat- I don't know, he just fell out and now he's feels like he's on fire.
(Captain reaches over and touches Oreo on his forearm and quickly jerks his hand away)
Captain- Gorramnit!
(Ojin Reaches for a com and the wall of the hallway)
Ojin- I need medical personal in The SouthWith Hallway! Bring, Cold water, rubbergloves, and towels!
(Back on The Ship, path is in the process of scanning the twins, when he accidently brushes against summer. Instantly he jerks away dropping his clipbaord)
Path- What?
(He's turn to Storm, takes a few deep breathes and grabs Storms hand. instantly a burning sensational engulfs his arm and he let's go. quickly making his way to the sink, he cuts on the cold water and runs his hands through the water.)
(Path reaches for his com)
****Coms Shiny****
Shi...Shiny, you might wanna get to down here a.s.a.p!
****Ends com****
(Shiny doesnt't bother to even com back, she ruches out of the galley and down to the infirmary)
Shiny- What's going on?!
(Shiny rushes over to check on the twins)
Path- NO! (Stopping Shiny in her tracks) Don't touch them.
(Path shows shiny the burn in his hand)
(Shiny looks in bewilderment)
Shiny- I don't understand, their fevers are hot enough to burn skin, but not the sheets on the bed...or the bed.
(Path still feeling the after affects of the burn)
Path- It is quite remarkable,but at the same time something very dangerous is going on with these two. We need Oreo back here, i need to run some tests on him.
Shiny- I'll com the Captain...
Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.
