SHADOW continues searching the lighthouse, the journals and the ALLIANCE database for info on what happened here,
and to get any more history on his crew and their past that could help them.

Ojin 'coms Elbarto the mission:
"Elbarto, there have been rumors of survivors from the PAX experiment on Miranda.
They were shielded from the gas by staying in Alliance bunkers designated for this very purpose."
"I have uploaded the locations of these bunkers to your ship. Find these bunkers and locate survivors."
"Ojin out"

Shiny gets the Captains Com and heads back to TQ.
Shiny wondering whats wrong the Capt didn't sound
like himself.
Shiny meets Michael at the cargo bay opening.
They both enter Tranquility Shiny asks Michael
if he's heard from Oreo.
Michael shakes his head no.
Shiny heads towards the galley for a drink.
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

Michael sees Shiny asking him a question, but the buzzing in his head drowns out any ability to make out her words.
He shakes his head, trying to clear the feeling of pressure on his ears. It starts to really hurt as Shiny walks off. Before she's out of sight, Michael realizes something is seriously wrong. But he can't cry out. Somehow he knows the pain will be worse if he does. He whispers:
"It isn't mine. The memory, it isn't mine. And I shouldn't have to carry it. It isn't mine. Don't make me sleep again."
And with that a blinding pain wracks Michael's thin frame from top to bottom. Blood vessels just under the skin burst from pressure, flushing his face bright red. His fingernails dig into his palms, drawing blood just before his spasming legs give out completely, sending him face first to the deck.
Inside his head, it is all chaos and pain. Brief flashes of the evidence TQ's crew has found are washed away by bright blue-white lights and shadowy figures. The buzzing sound has become an unending high squelch.
The sound of a 190lb man hitting the deck was enough to turn Shiny around, so she pokes her head back into the cargo bay. She sees Michael standing taller and more formally than normal. His face is bruised, and there's blood oozing from both hands.
SHINY: Michael, I heard a crash. Are you feeling okay?
His usual determined, cautious look is gone, replaced by a placid stare.
MICHAEL: Did I fall asleep? Shall I go now?
Shiny grabs the comm and calls Shadow.
SHINY: Ah, Cap'n. Things just got really strange down here in the cargo bay...

(Pulls out a piece of paper from his pocket)
Oreo(looking at paper)- What the hell am i doing?
I'm in the middle of ruttin jungle. Probably lost, with god knows what possibly waitin in the shadows to kick my ass. DAMN IT! IT"s LIKE BEING BACK IN GRADE SCHOOL!
(Oreo plops down on the jungle turf. he slides the piece of paper back into his pocket, at the same time pulling a cigarette out, places it between his lips and lights it. Oreo takes in a deep lung full of smokes and then exhales. Suddenly, bushes begin to rustles a yards away behind him. Oreo quickly leaps to his feet)
Oreo- what the... Who's there?
(Oreo pauses for a few seconds, waiting for a response. Nothing. Oreo chuckles to himself)
Oreo- Probably just some dumb animal
(Oreo laughs out loud only to be stifled once again by the rustling of the bushes. without hesitation Oreo takes in the direction of the noise only to be greeted by a blow to the head by some kinda blunt object. Quickly losing conscienceness Oreo manages to get a glimpse of a persons barefoot with a tattoo of a sun and moon joined together by snake of some kind.The blackness of unconscienceness sets in. hours later, Oreo awakens finding himself trapped inside a cage made of animal bones.)
Oreo- where the hell am i know?
(Oreo surveys his surroundings. it void of any human presence, or anything else for that matter. a small fire pit slowly buring out is the only thing showing signs of life.)
Oreo(sitting back against the cage)- Man, captain ain"t much gonna like the fact i done gone and got myself in another heap of fei-oo.
(suddenly he begins thinking of shiny)
Oreo- Arrgh! forget the captain! Shiny is gonna kill worse then shes probably already gonna, for walken off like i did. Things just from worse to even more worse.
Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.

Once Shiny's done comming the Captain She rushes to Michael.
Shiny," Michael your Bleeding!
Michael stares at Shiny with a blank expression
"Am I"?
Shiny Guides Michael to a crate and sits him down.
Shiny," I'll be right back."
Shiny runs to the sick bay and grabs some gauze and antiseptic then runs back to the cargo bay. She stops once she enters the cargo bay and watches Michael for a few seconds.
She's confused by the fact that Michael is Oblivious.
Michael looks at Shiny then back to staring at nothing.
Shiny walks over to him and takes one of his hands
"this is gonna sting a little." shiny pours some antiseptic on the wound. Shiny Grimaces knowing the feel of the sting she looks at Michael who has no reaction. She finishes wrapping that hand then grabs the other repeating the same process.
Once done she looks at Michaels bruised face. She crouches down to eye level (something she normally wouldn't be unable to do considering Michael is taller than her) And looks Michael in the eye's "Michael what happened?"
No response he just keeps staring off in space.
Again, "Michael are you ok?"
Michael looks at shiny but still doesn't say a word.
Shiny looks around then whispers, "AM I talking to
Michael?"
Shiny confused and unsettled straitens back up the sits on a crate across from Michael.
Shiny Talking loud,"I'm gonna sit here with you for awhile, I just wanna make sure your ok. OK?
Michael!? Shiny starts talking to herself "it figures the new guy freaks out and I'm the only one here to deal with it".
Shiny glances at Michael who's starring at her.
Shiny smiles at him. and thinks. "now he's thinking I'm nuts".
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

(waiting for his captors, oreo slips into light sleep, hours later oreo awakens and finds himself being starred at by a familiar face)
familair face- aaaaaah...you're finally awake. you know, you talk in your sleep. I figured only children did that. but then again, you're just like a child. easy to manipulate and bend.
(Oreo louges forward, the thick boned bars of his cage stopping him just inches from his captor)
Oreo- You rat! When will you just drown!
Familiar Face- Me? I don't desert my ship like most common rats. I a special kinda rat. (Grabs oreo's out reached arm), i'm like a cockroach really. I just won't die. Not for you anyways. Not after what you did.
Oreo- Yeah, that's right. Use we for an excuse for your cowardness.
familiar face- If i were you, i'd watch what you say. Because of your lack of focus, you have given me more then one chance to end you.
Oreo- then why haven't you. Because i want you alive to witness what should have taken places months and months ago.
(Oreo eyes widen. The familiar Face walks Off)
Oreo- you'll never find'em! You're never get Her!
YOU HEAR ME! DO YOU HEAR ME....JAYKINS!!
Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.
