ni hao browncoats!

i can't believe we are still flying,
but here we are.

i should recap our situation.

the crew of TRANQUILITY has crash landed on an island on MIRANDA, on the opposite side of the planet from the main miranda city.

the island is called ONYX, and was part of the PAXILLON HYDROCLORATE experiment.
the ALLIANCE had a monitoring station on ONYX to record the results of the experiment on the wildlife and plants.

they also had a secret project using a combination of sound and navigational jamming technology, to bring down ships in orbit -
supposedly as a defensive technique.

this weapon was housed in a structure called THE BLACK LIGHTHOUSE, on a peninsula on the eastern shore of ONYX.

the crew of TRANQUILITY is currently trying to rebuild her, using parts cannibalized from other crashed ships.

two other pilots of downed ship have been discovered during this time:
TERRY [reaverreaper]
WASH [pilotwash]

thanks for reading.
i can't wait to see if we get off this island.

Shiny tired of waiting for Terry, "can we go now?!"

Terry wrapping an old shirt that he took from his napsack around his leg. "If you hadn't shot me, we would be on our way by now."

Shiny pacing back and forth, "If u kept your mouth shut and your eyes to yourself, You wouldn't be hobbling around now would ya?"

Terry picks up his napsack throws it onto his shoulder
and starts gimping in a different direction from where shiny was going.

Shiny picks her napsack of the ground forgetting
About how heavy it is slowly lifts it onto her shoulder.
She watches terry and starts to laugh.

Terry without looking back at Shiny mutters
"The girls insane!"

Shiny hearing terry walks up next to him,
"if you only new."

Terry tries to walk faster, Shiny slows down her pace Letting terry gimp ahead.

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

..........Hours later......

Shiny still following Terry hears the the faint sound of sticks breaking, then she hears voices.
She loudly whispers, "Terry"

Terry turns to look at Shiny.
Shiny is motioning for Terry to get behind the over grown bush With her.

Terry goes to say something but Shiny puts her
finger up to her lips.

Terry crouches next to Shiny an d whispers,
" what do you hear?"

Shiny," sounds like some guys walking and talking
not sure how many."

Shiny pulls out her gun and makes a small part in the bush with one hand while the other hold the gun.

Shiny waits, The Four men come into to view. Shiny stands up, "Captain?!

Captain, "Shiny what in the sphincter in hell
are you doing behind that bush!"

The captain looks at Terry who's still crouched down. "and who is he?!

Captain staring at Terry.

Shiny, He crashed her on the planet, looking
for oreo.

Captain looking at Terrys leg,
"is that how your leg got hurt?

Shiny matter of fact, "no, I shot him."

Shiny walks over to Michael, "I'm really glad to see you, she then hesitates and whispers,"you are Michael right?"

Michael confused, "who else would I be?"

Shiny smiles, "with U, I never know."

Captain and Terry are talking

Shiny keeps glancing at the new guy.

She decides to walk over to him.

Wash see's Shiny approaching him and gets
a little nervous. She stands next to him

Shiny, Hi, I'm Shiny the mechanic on Tranquility
and you are?

Wash, I'm wash.... and I juggle geese.

Shiny starts laughing.

Captain, Ok now that we are all together lets get back to Tranquility and fix her up.

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

the group salvages many parts from the downed ship.
they bring the parts back to TRANQUILITY and begin the repairs.

SHADOW O2 and MICHAEL create a makeshift pulley to hoist the broken wing back in place,
while SHINY WASH and TERRY work on the electronics and propulsion systems.

O2:
"cap, i've been thinking. even if we get her flyin' again,
that black tower jamming device will just bring her down again before we can break atmo'.
the only way for TRANQUILITY to break free would be to have someone stay back here and hack the jamming system
at one of the terminals in the black lighthouse.
this definitely needs to be done from the 'inside'. i'm the only one with the knowledge to do this - but i'll need help.
the system is too complex for me to hack it - but not for KAT, with her technonet experience.

once she hacks it, i can reprogram the system to allow the ship to slip through.
the system will adjust to our hacking so we will need to work together simultaneously to keep ahead of it.
i don't see any other way."

*SHADOW thinks this strategy though.*

"just keep working on this wing, it's a clean break, we can fix this."

Shiny, "hmmm, what do we do for fun? I guess
not getting caught by the alliance or getting
killed is fun.

Wash,"I could see that.

Shiny picks a welders mask put it on then picks up the welder.

Shiny to Terry and wash, "You think you can hold the wing straight so i can weld it?!

Terry Looking at the welder, "I don't like the Idea
of you holding that thing so close to me."

Shiny staring at Terry, snaps down the shield of the welding mask and fires it up.

Wash looks at Terry, "glad I'm not U."

Shiny walks up the Ladder and starts welding.

She then thinks of something and turns of the welder and opens the shield to her mask

Shiny looking down at wash, "so tell me wash,
What do u do for fun......besides juggle geese?

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