Shiny looks at wash, "a guest"?!
Shiny pulls her her gun that she keeps tucked into the back of her pants.
Wash, "Shiny you think you really need that"?!
Shiny, " not sure, but the feeling I got back at the bar with the Capt and wisp....well One never knows.
Shiny and wash leave the cargo bay to see about the new "guest".
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

Shiny and Wash make there way to the bridge.
cammy hears them and hides next to the door where she can't be seen.
Wash walks in the door and is greeted by a quick punch to the gut he doubles over he drops to his knees and grabs cammy.
Wash-Shiny Get Her!

Shiny stands there holding the gun pointed at cammy
when she hears footsteps behind her. Knowing who it is, Shiny turns her head slightly.
"Oreo, Whats going on here and who is this?!
Shiny cocks the gun, "the capt ain't gonna like knowing someone other than crew is on this ship."
Shiny, sternly address the girl, "who are you"?!
(Wash slowly gets up onto his feet).
The crew stands around looking down at cammy.
Shiny shoots Oreo a Glare.... waiting for someone to answer.
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

Cammys head is throbbing but she doesn't show the pain on her face.
she looks up and around at everyone just to make sure theres no way out once she knows she can't get out she starts to talk.
Cammy-My name is Pandora she lied
it was her nickname so it wasn't a complete lie
Cammy-I use to live at the market untill your ship came and i was looking for a ride. It was all good and fine until he came along pointing at oreo and now this!
She rubs her head slightly where shiny hit her.

Shiny still pointing the gun listens to what
Cammy is saying. She lowers her gun slowly "Pandora
you say?" shiny scoffs knowing Cammys lying.
"Well you better pray you don't open Pandora's box once the captain catches drift your here".
Shiny puts her gun into the back of her pant's
shiny looks at Oreo and walks away before she leaves the bridge shiny turns and looks at Cammy
"if you hungry there's some food in the galley, it's not much but it will do, I'm sure Oreo will
show you."
with that shiny leave and heads to the cargo bay
once there she stands at the open hatch wondering
how the Capt and wisp are doing. Wash walks up next to her.
Wash, " It's so quiet out there."
Shiny, " sure is."
Shiny hits the button to close the hatch, she stands and watches as the hatch slowly closes.
Shiny, "Wash ever get the feeling we are being watched"?
Wash, ""sometimes,why?"
Shiny, "well, I'm starting to feel like this is one of those times."
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

Shock blasts rocketed overhead as tranquiliser darts impaled the ground and Stalls around all sides of The Captain and Wisp. They bunkered between two overturned stalls defended from the onslaught by wooden planks and the shear grace of god. They laid down defensive fire over the barricade but it was largely for show, they’d only come bearing side arms and they were no match for an assault squad determined to bring them in. Outgunned and Outmanned Wisp thought desperately of an escape plan, but sadly all the scenarios in his mind ended the exact same way. The future was looking much less then pleasant.
................................................................................................
Close by Captain Keith was also having a bad time though relative to Wisp it was practically heavenly.
“How the Hell did those Snipers Miss?!?!?” He screamed at the streams of scouts in the command posts “If This hits the fan they better disappear or I’ll shoot them myself.”
“Sir Ground teams are reporting the target has bunkered down in light cover and stun weapons can’t reach them. They request live ammo Allowance and Shock grenades Sir”
Keith didn’t know which scout had reported this info so he didn’t even bother addressing anyone’s general direction. “Live fire allowance is denied. Repeat DENIED. Shock grenades are granted but not to be aimed within 5 feet of the targets defences. I want...”
“Sir!” A young ensign interrupted from a lookout on the far side of the room. Keith shot the young man an angry glare
“YES?”He snarled
“Sir there’s large group of people entering the square from the south. They appear to be armed and...Wait... Sir They’ve opened fire against our troops.

'Great' thought Wisp to himself 'You sail round the verse quite happily for years and then you go and do a good deed and then universe decides to bend you over and do all those horrible things its been saving up for you'
Energy blasts flew all around them when suddenly a second sound breached the chaos. This one was of Live rounds.
"Jesus now they're really trying to kill us!" Wisp shouted to the Captain who was wildly laying down covering fire. But as the gunfire went on the sounds of the Stun weapons became less and less. Taking his life in his hands Wisp peaked above the barricade. Approaching from the south were a rag tag team of men and women carrying a variety of weapons in all shapes and sizes. These werent an organised Alliance assault team, this was the resistance.
The ambush by the resistance took the Alliance completely by surprise, also the ban on live rounds meant they were entirley outgunned as well as outmanned by the approaching tide of Guerilla fighters. Even when the alliance shots did hit home the resistance fighters were only stunned and were back fighting only more pissed shortly after. It didnt take long for the wave to reach Wisps position where he was greeted by a man in his late 50's sporting a large grey beard and an eyepatch, the true resistance stereotype.
"Im General Dickinson. You boys sure know how to make an entrance. Where you parked we'll cover you whilst you get away"
"Where at dock 32A Its not far" Shouted Wisp above the now deafening roar of several dozen weapons of various calibres exploding around him "we owe you big time for this one"
"Yea you do boy, You better be as important as they say you are or im gonna shove my foot so far up your ass I'll..." The end of this sentance was cut short by the appearance of a gatling gun mounted on a side car appearing beside them. Dickinson began to rest two shotguns on the corner of an overturned stall and begin pounding down shells into the now scrambling forces behind. Wisp and the Captain needed no second instruction as they began to run towards the Tranquility keeping low and to cover through the deadly exchange.

(the crew slowly files out of the galley leaving only oreo, kat and cammy behind. cammy stares at the floor. kat rears back in her chair glaring at her. oreo, stands, back against the wall, his arms folded also glaring at cammy.)
Kat- youre in some hot water with shiny.
Oreo- i can handle her.
Kat- shes gotta alot tougher. shes hardly the fun loving girl i used to know. but, i guess with all this crew has been through, shes had no choice but to.
(oreo remains silent)
Kat- you're lucky you know. Oreo is sick. the only reason you were able to get the drop on him.
(cammy looks up at kat)
cammy- sick?
Kat- yeah, as you know, he's part reaver. an alliance experiment, just like the children. alliance has been trying to get them back over this past year.
(cammy confused)
cammy- so why is he sick?
kat- he's a weapon. you think the alliance wouldnt create something like him without a fail safe. he's dying.
(cammy stares at oreo, whois still standing silent against the wall, his eyes now closed)
cammy- so are you telling me this?
(kat smiles)
kat- just want you to know how lucky you are to still be in one piece. oreo, here is very protective of this crew and ship.
cammy- and his sister?
Kat- yeah. you should eat. captain should return soon. that might be the last meal you get to eat for a long while.
(kat stands up and leaves the galley, followed by oreo.)
cammy- Oreo.
Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.

as shadow and wisp run towards tranquility a ricochet hits shadow in the back and stands him up for a moment.
wisp turns around and looks at him.
shadow:
"keep moving, we're almost there."
