crazy Ivans? "I never tried it before but would love to sometime."

Shiny looks at Terry,"can you hold it a little straighter?"

Terry adjusts a little, "wanna weld? or just stand there talking?"

Shiny bites her tongue.

She fires up the welder but before she closes the
shield to her helmet.

she says to wash. when we get her ( referring to Tranquility) back in the air. You can tell me
more about yourself."

shiny starts to get back to welding, when she hears the captain call the crew back into the ship.

...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

Shadow and Shiny had become used to the distant, glazed look that Michael has had for the past few days. He was working steadily, doing what was asked of him, and giving occasional, brief answers. But the spark seemed gone. Shadow had seen it before, folks see too much and just snap. Just close down and disappear into themselves. Best thing for it was to keep 'em busy, and not push for answers. Shiny, however fretted about it. And cursed the gods that the Captain was the only fella around her that wasn't institutional in the head.

Poor Wash was sure Michael just didn't like him at all, since Michael apparently just looked right past him, oblivious to the refugees presence.

Then one day, Michael turned and looked Shiny right in the eyes (which he'd not been doing lately) and asked:

"ShinyLass, whot day ist? Oi feel loik Oi juss woked up from a terrible long nightmare. Ooh is that feller whot's wondering around TQ?" as he points to Terry.

"The Lord's hairless scrotum! There's two bloks aboard Oi've never laid ois on."

He pulls a throwing knife from thin air.

"Lass, ye wont Oi should keel 'em?"

Shiny spins around to see Terry with a shocked and Terrified look on his face staring back at Michael.

Shiny hesitates for a second then puts her hand up.
"Michael, No! it's ok he's gonna be with us for awhile. He crashed here in the jungle.

Michael slowly lowers the knife, then looks at Shiny. "what Jungle?"

Shiny, "You really don't remember?"

Terry interjects, "u ask me ?Somethings wrong with his brain pan."

Wash "sarcastically" replies,"Good observation Terry."

Shiny shoots Terry a dirty look.
Then focus's back on Michael.

Michael, we crashed here on Miranda, But we're
fixen to get outta here real soon.
Maybe in the morning.

Shiny looks at wash i just need to fix the engine
and the wing.

Wash, walks over and stands next to Shiny.
"shiny I hate to tell you,but i'm not sure
the wing can be fixed."

Shiny looks at wash, "we're getting off this ruttin planet."

Shiny turns her attention back to Michael,
Michael, you haven't been yourself lately
Do you wanna tell me whats going on?

Wash," maybe i should leave so you two talk."

Shiny, "No thats ok you can stay."

...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

"Last Oi remember was flyin' wif O2 'round about, lookin' for Cap'n. We get 'em back?"

Michael looks at his hands for an answer, one's still holding a knife, which he tosses in the air, grabs with his other hand, and spirits it away somewhere on his person. In its place is his Portable Cortex Reader, which he starts pecking at.

"Engine says she's missin' four litres of 480 lubricant in the right admix resevoir. I saw sommat in this 'ere pile o' supplies."

He rummages, and looks up with a bottle in hand.

"Oi think all the recent bloody handiwork musta got to me. That an' this skin-creepin' jungle. Some o' that is comin' back, now you mention it lass."

"But Oi'm still not sure 'bout this Terry bloke." he walks over and pokes Terry in his wounded leg.
"That looks aboot like a wound caused by Miss Shiny's piece. Ye pissed her off? Guess ye leart yer lesson, then?"

He walks over to Wash and extends a free hand, tipping his bowler with the other.

"Michael O'Sneary, at yer service. No one but Shiny calls me Mike though, zhuyi?"

He walks up the catwalk stairs towards the engine room with the lubricant.

Shiny shrugs her shoulders.
"well, he may be odd, but that's the kind of odd we've come to expect from him."

Shiny put's her hand to her head, "right, you both need a bunch. Follow me."

Shiny leads the two men to their bunks.
she first brings wash to the bunk closes to the bridge.

Shiny to wash, "its not great, but it's clean.
The bridge is right through that open door, you should go and check it out."

Then shiny leads Terry to the bunk next to Oreo's.
Terry walks in and drops his napsack on the floor.

Terry looking around the small room, "not bad."

Shiny "Good."

Shiny turns to leave but then stops.
"Terry, We all (referring to the crew) have
been through a lot here on Miranda and well...
Try not to take things to personal. Ok?

Terry walks over to shiny, Clearly enjoying
A softer side of Shiny, A side he's never seen
before.

Terry smiling a big smile, Shiny?! Are you getting soft on me?

Shiny walks away, "get some sleep, will ya?
We have a lot of work to finish in the morn.
I want off this rutten planet."

Shiny leaves and head to the engine room.
She see's Michael pouring the lube into the engine
she stops and watches. She hasn't known Michael
a long time, but she knows him enough, to know somethings very wrong.

Michael doesn't seem to notice shiny watching him He's now focused on his cortex reader.

...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

another night goes by with strange noises, like creatures crawling on the hull of the ship, and howling noises from the jungle.

the crew, not able to sleep, finishes most of the repairs to the engine and the other internal systems.

SHADOW walks up to MICHAEL:
"hey thanks for all your help.
i hope you'll be stayin' for a spell."

O2 walks up to SHADOW and pulls him aside:
"cap, i've been doing the math and i have some bad news. we lost a lot of fuel in the crash.
we don't have enough fuel to break atmo', we're too heavy for the upthrust we'll need."

KAT walks over to the men.

KAT:
"cap, O2 told me about his idea - of he and i staying back here on the planet to hack the system that's jamming everything -
to buy TRANQUILITY enough time to escape... i'm willing to do it."

SHADOW:
"it may not matter, O2 says we don't have enough fuel to break atmo'... unless...
*thinks*

SHADOW:
"O2, i wasn't going to leave you 2 here without a way off - the 1 working shuttle. can TRANQUILITY break atmo'
with 1 less shuttle and 2 less people.?"

O2:
"i'll re-do the math, but that's a maybe."

SHADOW:
"okay... KAT- you get everything you 2 will need to stay in that BLACK LIGHTHOUSE for a while.
i know there are already supplies in it.
if O2 says 'it's a go', then we do this 1st thing at daybreak."

KAT:
"will do cap."

O2 returns a few minutes later.

O2:
"it'll be real close cap. plus once you hit the black, you'll be running on empty.
you'll have to shoot the ship directly at a planet or space station and use your inertia to coast all the way there.
i hope your new pilot is up for that - won't be easy.

SHADOW looks at WASH:
"how good is YOUR math?"
