“I can’t be 100% certain at this range but I think so. Looks like a standard Alliance short range shuttle craft, a little out of date by the carrier signal. It’s actually a little smaller than a standard firefly shuttle so it should be able to dock no problem.”

(Oreo continues to watch out the window when washs voice coms in)

Wash- Oreo, it's wash...

(Oreo rolls his eyes, as if he didn't know who it was)

Oreo- what do you want?

Wash- im pretty sure you've noticed that alliance shuttle by now.

Oreo- yeah, what are they doing way out here?

Wash- it's an alliance shuttle but the pilot isn't.

Oreo- so it's stolen.

Wash- yep, it's Elbarto I think.

(Oreo's eyes get wide and jumps up on the control panel palms against the window.)

Oreo- El... Is Kat with him?

Wash-Don't know. he'll be docking about 2 minutes ahead of you so i'll let you know. Oh, i kinda have an order to have you land about a mile or two away from the Captain. Figure he thinks a nice little walk will straighten you out.

Oreo- So, where am i landing?

Wash- Just get ready to dock with the ship. We have a new crew memember, meet everyone in the galley.

Oreo- yeah. Docking in less then a mintue and a half.

(Both shuttle procede to dock with tranquility one after the other.the hatch open on Oreos shuttles and he steps back out into familiar territory and continues his way to the galley.)

Oreo- El...Kat...are you two really here?

Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.

shiny looks around the med lab. inhaling and exhaling. enjoying each intake of breath. She hops off the Table, not really sure how she got there.
She stands for a moment not liking the quietness of the ship. She makes her way to the engine room. As she enters the room she glances around at the mess
She also cant help but smell something funny. She opens the engine the old girl is still running.
Shiny still shaking up, go's to find the Captain.
She walks bye the Galley and looks in, Oreo's sitting at the Table looking like he's up to something or was.
Shiny, "hey Oreo, you seen the Captain?
Oreo, "no, and not sure he want's to see me."
Shiny debates for a split second on asking him what he ment. BUT She figured real quick she probably doesn't want to know. She grabs two drinks opens them, sits down and slides one over to Oreo. She takes a big gulp, something in the air feels different, she shivers. then looks at Oreo, What happened? and why do we have
oxygen? Oreo staring at his drink, "beats me" clearly seeing Oreo is in a "mood" She finishes off her drink and leaves. She makes her way to the cargo hold.

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

Shadow turns to Wisp:
"How soon 'til we're patched enough so's we can we get off this rock? It won't be long before the unfriendly's start showin' up."

Wash let's the captain know that Oreo's shuttle has docked and Oreo has disembarked.
He also says that Elbarto's shuttle is docked but has readings of high levels of contaminants both inside the shuttle and on the exterior.

Shadow:
"As long as they have oxygen in that shuttle, I want it quarantined until we can 'decon' it.
Make sure both shuttles are secure for take off, but keep a seal on Elbarto's Alliance shuttle, dong ma?
And i want to know how many life forms you're reading in that shuttle."

“I’ll get right on it. I figure if I take a nice piece of my hull and seal it over the external and internal breach that should hold no problem. The coolant leak is simply a matter of replacing a section of piping which I’m sure you have kicking around. I’ll go and find that mechanic of yours and get this show on the road.” Wisp picked up his helmet and headed out of the bridge. He’d also need to get his stuff across If he was gonna be pulling chunks out of the hull but luckily he didn’t have much to move. He made a quick mental checklist as he headed down to the cargo hold:

Clothing and personal effects- He had about a rucksack worth which would take around 10 seconds to pack up.
Items that aren’t tied down and would be useful on Tranquillity- There were 16 helpings of bedding for starters. Not to mention rations and some miscellaneous equipment.
Weapons- Not only did he not want to leave his collection it was also pretty dangerous to leave such an arsenal in an abandoned vessel.
Items that are tied down that would be useful on Tranquillity- He’d already mentally stripped his entire sensor and countermeasures packages. He could also pump across fuel and water in no time at all. Any time he did have left he’d strip down the engine for parts.
Seeing as he didn’t have a room set out so far he’d just dump everything in the cargo hold in a neat pile.

This day had not turn out how he expected. This morning he’d been happy as Larry gliding through space in his own ship and now... He was practically a refugee. Forced out of his ship by his own dumb generosity. But what was it that the philosophers always delighted in saying? ‘Sometimes life takes you down roads you didn’t plan on going down’ They usually followed it up with some bull about divine destiny but he’d had enough of that crap. But no matter the reason he was here now and he had to make the best of it. As he reached the cargo bay he found a young woman looking at his polymer patch.

“Hey there” he shouted across the bay as he made his way towards her “You Shiny Frye the Mechanic?” He reached her as she looked at him with confusion obviously not knowing who he was or why he was on her ship “I'm sorry my name’s Wisp. I found your ship leaking atmosphere so I came aboard and did some repairs. Your auxiliary life support was destroyed so your Captain offered me a room if you could use mine. I was just going to do a space walk and attach a more permanent plate to the outside and Id really appreciate a hand if you could spare it?”

Shiny stands there looking at wisp. dumb founded.
"huh, you fixed the....... (Shiny looks him up and down)You fixed the auxiliary? Wisp nods as he suits up. Shiny watches him, "the capt let you aboard our ship?
Shiny knows the answer to her questions, If the capt didn't want wisp here, He sure wouldn't be.
It was her way of processing the information.
Wisp. "well... you gonna help me?
Shiny not sure why and surprised herself by how quick she answered "Sure".
Shiny grabs a suit from one of side compartments
in the cargo hold and suits up. As she walks over to where wisp is waiting She starts thinking she's crazy. what he decides she should go on a permanent space walk.The thought frightened her Shiny hesitates a moment, then walks up to wisp.
Before she puts the helmet on she says, "don't pull any stunts, if you do I'm bringing you with me." With that Shiny puts her helmet on.. Crooked.
Embarrassed she quickly fixes it hoping wisp didn't notice, but she's sure he did.

(shiny leaves the galley leaving oreo once again alone, waiting. The seconds go by that turn to mintues and the mintues start to feel like an eternity. he crushes the can in his hand and throws it to the ground. Oreo begins pacing back and fourth and eventually leaves heading towards the cargo hold. once there oreo play about, tossing and knocking things over before coming across the cryo unit that the twins came in.)

Oreo- this thing is still here?

(a realization suddenly hits oreo)

Oreo- come to think of it, i ain't seen those little brats around in a long ass while.

(Oreo stares atthe cryo unit, then, in a quick moment he unlatches the lid and pushes it off. A cloud of white smoke escapes. Oreo walks up and peers inside, to find both the twins inside. Oreo cracks a grin)

Oreo- Hide and seek is over...

Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.

At first Wisp felt a knife of anger and ungratefulness. Here was a stranger he’d just saved the life of and here she was thinking he was gonna pump her out into the black for no reason. Then it dawned upon him the very strange situation that was upon them. She had every right not to trust him he was still a stranger. Then he caught the slip with the helmet and casually decided not to notice. She was talking bigger than she was, making sure I am who I say I am. Smart girl he thought to himself, I’m gonna like her.

The pair of them suited up and headed into the vacuum of space armed with welding equipment. By taking part of the rear landing door of the Epsilon they managed to create a pretty seamless weld with the ships hull. Unfortunately the grey patch didn’t mix with the standard brown of the Firefly class but that would even out in time. All in all the job had only taken around an hour to weld on the new plate and repair the coolant leak.

“Hey shiny” Wisp said as they stepped back through the airlock onto the Tranquillity “Do you mind running the diagnostics on the starboard engine alone for half an hour or so? I gotta pack up my things so we can get off this rock.”
