**As Soul tries to get the ship out of hyperspace, jake7 is clinging tightly to her chair, fighting a blackout**
Soul? Is it my imagination, or has the ship gotten faster?

The glasses behind the bar start rattling, some vibrating their way off the shelf only to smash on the floor.
Suddenly sober, Safe glances at the ceiling. The metal bulkheads groan in protest to the sudden acceleration.
He keys up the com, "Ummm, Safe to bridge. Are we in a hurry to get somewhere? It's gettin' kinda jumpy down here."

****several hours later******
*Mai wakes up with a groan and stretches
"What a nightmare I must have... " she breaks off as she takes in the surroundings. "Holy turnips it's all real! What am I going to do?!"
One lone guard sits in a rickety chair staring intently at a small handheld computer screen.
*Mai rattles the bars and shouts, "Hey Mister Guard what's a girl gotta do to bribe her way out of a cell?"
The guard looks up with a smirk on his face.
"Oh there is nothing you can do to escape your doom little girl."
"Escape my doom? Really that's the best you've got? Why dont' you come over here and say that to my face?!"
*The guard saunters over to the cell door and and leans against the door peering in at her. "I said "There is no..."
His sentence ends abruptly as Mai grabs his collar and pulls him halfway between the bars for a slightly exaggerated kiss. As he collapses onto the floor she reaches for his belt and snags the dungeon keys. She places the small tube of lipstick back in her pocket.
"Huh. I knew that would come in handy some day."

Aplogizes for stealing ideas from Joss and Co. but it just seemed like the thing to do 
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes

**jake7's face feels like it is being pulled backwards off her skull. She struggles to speak**

Safe hangs onto the bar as more things fly off shelves.
"Hey! What's going on? Are you trying to shake my fillings out? Well it's working, so cut it out already!"
The walls groan and start to shimmer.
Safe looks around in panic. "Umm are the walls suppose to be all wavey when I'm sober?"

Eyes closed, Soul hangs onto the controls, every fiber of his being screaming in pain.
"This...was not...a good...idea..."
He couldn't figure out how to access anything in relation to the hyperdrive. So he decided on plan B. When beating the console didn't work, he moved on to plan C. The way he figured it, he had phased with people before. He had phased with several people before. Just maybe he could phase with the SereniTREE.
"Hang on!" He shouts. "This could get interesting! And don't ask me to define that!!!"
With a roar, he focuses as hard as he can, and phases---
-----and the SereniTREE, with a squeal of metal, as well as a few crewpeople, vanishes from hyperspace and reappears many light years away, coming to a violent stop in orbit above the planet Mai's signal originated from.
"Ow..."

*Mai sneaks down the dark corridor searching for a way out of the complicated dungeon maze. Suddenly heavy footfalls echo from outside. With little light and absolutely no hiding spots in sight...
"Uh now would be a really good time for miracle. Just sayin' "

Out of the shadows Jazaf tumbles ungracefully.
"I'm ok!" He says, leaping to his feet.
He looks around to see if anyone saw. "Wait a minute....where am I? and for that matter what the heck am I doing with this?!"
He rips off the Nehru jacket he was wearing, revealing cargo shorts and a shirt saying 'Milk this!' above an image of a Yeti.
"Much better! Now....I'm still lost."

Safe lies in a crumpled heap behind the bar.
"Ow indeed. I only signed on for the three hour tour, not wavy walls, and sudden stops. Did we hit an iceberg? Who's driving this crazy ride?"
"Una Cerveza por favor?"
