Shiny follows Terry to the cargo bay.
Shiny upset," can't u walk faster?
Terry," I'm trying, he's not the lightest thing to carry."
Terry with attitude, "whats wrong with you?"
Shiny, " I didn't like they way you threw me under the bus, back there with the Captain?"
Terry, Threw you under the bus?! I was telling your Captain the truth."
they enter the cargo bay, Shiny bends down and Moves the metal grate flooring aside and looks at Terry.
Shiny," I don't know what to believe and I'm still trying to figure out why i should trust you even a little.
Shiny impatiently. Well?! and motions for terry to put oreo in the compartment under the metal grate floor.
Terry, " you want me to put him in there?
Shiny,"yes, I don't want a dead Oreo staring back at me. It's kinda creepy.
Terry try's to put Oreo down, but the weight of Oreo is to much and terry looses his grip. Oreo lands with a thud.
Shiny and Terry look at each other,
Shiny," at least he didn't feel it."
Shiny grabs a blanket the was covering some crates
and covers Oreo. She then moves the floor grates back.
Shiny stands up and turns around to see terry is gone. "typical" she mutters to herself.
then she notices Michael standing on the other side of the cargo bay watching her with a knife in hand.
Shiny walks over to Michael.
Michael tosses the knife in the air, catches it by the handle then throws it hitting the target smack dab in the middle.
Shiny being impressed starts to clap.
Michaels face starts to blush.
Shiny, " Michael, will you show me how to throw like you?"
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

"some hours have passed and terry sneaks back into the cargo hold. he lifts the metal grate up and uncovers oreo."
Terry
My friend, i don't think i can wait to keep my promise.
"terry pulls out a syringe and a piece of cloth. terry ties the cloth around oreo bicep."
Terry
I only hope this is enough. maybe its just me but it seems that your crew mates are being to forget you.
"Terry begins to think to himself"
Terry
What am i doing? The guy is dead and he's just grown on me.
"Terry injects the contents of the syringe into Oreo's arm."
Terry
There. Now we wait. anything past a day and a half and there no use for more. you're too far gone. If you can hear me in there, i hope you're a praying man.
"terry covers oreo's body and climbs out of the compartment. and closes the grate. making his way back to the bunnks, michael steps out in front of him"
Michael
little late to be taking a midnight stroll.
Terry
Couldn't sleep. You know, strange place and all. and i'l starting to feel that the people on board are as equally strange.
"Michael squares up to terry. noses almost touching"
Michael
I'd mind my tongue if i were you, fore i cut it out.
Terry
I'll try and keep that in mind.
Michael
You best do more then try.
"The two glare at each other. finally terry backs down and steps around him and returns to his bunk. Michael smirks and watches as terry disappears, and then turns his attention to the cargo hold."
Michael
Hmmm...I wonder...
"Michael enters the cargo hold and slowly circles the steel grate before kneeling down and finally opening the grate. Michael, rubs his forehead and perpares himself to jum into the cargo hold. but in an instant and arm reaches up, grabing him and pulls in him"

(In a low raspy voice)
Oreo- Who...are...you?
(A slight fear glazes in michael eyes)
Michael- Names michael, i'm part of the crew now.
(Slowly and as quiet as possible, michael reaches down for a knife)
Michael- you were dead mate. it can't be possible for you to be alive.
(Suddenly a thought enters michaels head)
Michael- Terry, that bastard. he brought you back. all this time, he was the one who could do it. there was never any....
(Oreo's attention had drifted off slightly but snaps his focus back to michael.)
Oreo- I don't know what you're jawin about,but i am alive, now aren't I?
(Michael grins)
Michael- yeah you are. But not for long.
(With a quick burst michael grabs the knife and makes an attempt at trying to stab oreo, but is quickly brought to a halt. Oreo catches michaels hand and squeezes it until the knife drops.)
Oreo- Used to be part of the crew...
"Oreo curls his fist and reaches back and knocks him out cold. Michael body quickly goes limp. Oreo, pulls himself out of the compartment. He stretches and suddenly releases a bloody curddling growl. the captains eyes snaps open."
Captain- what the hell was that?
(Captain rushes to a com)
***Captain Com***
Captain- Please someone tell me they heard that.
***End***
***Shiny Coms***
Heard it too captain. What was it? Reavers?
***end***
(A dark and errie thought presents itself to the captain)
***Captain Coms***
NO SHINY! NOT REAVERS! JUST ONE! GET TO WASH AND GET HIM TO LAND!
***End***
***Shiny Coms***
LAND WHERE!
***Ends***
***Captain Coms***
ANYWHERE! JUST LAND!
***End***
(Shiny rushes to Washs bunk)
Shiny- Washs! Get Up! You Need to land this plane,NOW!
Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.

Terry hasn't been on the ship long enough to notice when Michael is having an 'episode' as Shiny and Shadow have started calling them. He has no idea how lucky he just was.
Mikhail leans over the hold...
"GAH! Let go of my forearm this instant you necromorphic hybrid carnivore! You know fully well that I didn't put you down here. I could barely lift your elephantine forearm, let alone your whole gruesome tenement."
Mikhail does some blindingly fast jujitsu move to free his arm and back flips out of the hold. Oreo, or his body, stiffly stands up; feet still in the cargo hold.
Mikhail grabs his head in agony, falls to the deck, and then struggles to get up. Mid-stand, he notices Oreo looking back at him, eyes red-tinged.
"Whot wif me goin' arse over apex onto the 'ard metal grating, not rememberin' comin' down 'ere at oll, an your dead self pullin' a Private Tracey, Oi'm inclin'd ta think Oi'm dreamin', dead, or ought to be wishin' Oi were."
Michael staggers over to the comm and hails the whole ship.
"Oll 'ands to the cargo 'old, if ya please! Oi think yer gonna find a mighty surprise down 'ere. An maybe someone can 'splain how Oi came to be down 'ere coz Oi surely don't."
Michael plunks down on a crate, and rubs his sore head.

(the crew is assembled in the cargo hold. michael is fuming and hold ice on his head)
Michael- bloody hell, i'm going to kill that "thing" next time i see him.
(Shiny interjects)
Shiny- No, you won't. You wont touch him. You understand me?
(Michael shoots shiny a sour look.)
Michael- And what of him? (Pointing to terry) He lied to us. maybe i ought to take me frustations out on you mate. what do you think about that?
(Terry stands alone in a corner and ignore the comments from Michael)
Captain- we will deal with him later. right now, we have Nishka to deal with. So who's in?
(In an Instant a figure jumps down from the cat walk above into the middle of the group. eyes stunned at the sight of the figure)
Oreo- I'll Go.
Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.
