Please tell me you've got a brilliant idea up your sleeve!

"Why, of course, Serenity!"
Then TheRealMe gets busy thinking.

OOC: damn sleeping and such, gets in the way of my posting.. grrr, just assume i've been taking out mutants i guess..

Whirrrrr
That was the last sound he wanted to hear right now. Well if he was gonna run outta darn bullets, he might as well get creative. Pulling out a knife, bout 5 inches in length, and started using he small military experience to his advantage.
As muntants close in, N0Skillz stands perfectly still, then lashes out at the first slashing arm, grabs, twists and slashes a exposed throat. This type of one hit kill continues, until the muntants start to close in and exhuastion is creeping closer. N0Skillz backs up closer to his new found compainions. Drops into a more defensive stance next to Shadow, who has more then a little mutant blood on his fur and prepares for the oncoming rush.
"TRM, we really need that plan B."

Oh! THERE’S an idea!
With one hand, TheRealMe reaches out to form the mouth of a dimensional portal among one mob of mutants. With the other hand, he connects the other end to deep space. There is a thunderclap and furious winds as scores of mutants are sucked away into the void. Then TheRealMe makes a tight fist, closing that portal before Jazaf and Bride2 are lost. TheRealMe falls to his knees after that expenditure of energy.
“Okay… that idea was too tiring for me and too dangerous for the rest of us!”
TheRealMe forms another portal, a tiny one, with one end in front of him, and the other in some deep ocean. This results in an astounding fire-hose effect, with a stream of high-pressure water slicing many more mutants literally in two.
“Still tiring…”
TheRealMe falls to the ground hoping that he has thinned the mutant's ranks enough for the others to prevail. As he drifts in and out of consciousness, he looks around at his many friends and companions, and thinks how they all came to this strange place.
From the General Lee: TheRealMe, Rat, Jake7, Needleseye (with Nugget the meteor troll left behind in the Lee).
From the General Grant: CallMeAth, CallMeSerenity, Mai, Lissa, PsychicRiver, Safeat2nd, CastIronJack.
From the Destiny’s Shadow port shuttle: SoulofSerenity, Static, Jazaf, Deuce/Bride2 (with the Head of Succatash left behind in the shuttle)
Picked up along the way: PyreFX, GreekToomey, Monkeytail, NoSkillz and his tiger, Shadow.
From his own meteoric re-entry: TheGreyJedi
And of course, that doesn’t even count the clones that were lost!
As TheRealMe considers this, two thoughts are foremost in his mind:
"Can we find and destroy whatever it was that mutated these people?"
AND
“If we are all here, then who is up there flying the Sereni-Tree?”

*Serenity stands over the semiconscious form of TRM, defending herself and him from the seemingly never-ending onslaught of mutants.*
Jake7, how's the forcefield coming? We can't hold out much longer!!
*Serenity glances around at her friends. PR is visibly wearing out. Lissa has a huge gash on her arm, but is still fighting. Mai is using her light to blind mutants that Greek and Pyre take down, but her light is getting weaker and weaker. Everyone is exhausted, hardly anyone is without injury.*

**Rat finally makes his way over to jake7 and hands over a new set of batteries. She quickly replaces the last set and presses the force field button. It flashes a few times and finally comes back on strong. She sags in relief.**
Ok. We need to suss the damage and figure out how we're going to get out of this gorram place!

From atop the bear, Safe assesses his situation. 2 spare clips, and 10 small explosives the size of large marbles. "Damn, that's not gonna get me far.."
The others seem to holding their own but are losing ground. A mutant grabs Safe's leg. Almost absently he point his gun down and fires. The now headless mutant releases it's hold. Safe then turns his gun on the bear and fires 2 rounds into it, creating a pocket. Safe quickly fishes out of his pocket 6 of the 10 explosives and forces them into the hole in the bear.
Safe stands and throws an explosive at the ground. The resulting explosion creates a small clearing in the mutants. Guns roaring, Safe jumps into the clearing and starts making his way through the horde to the others.
The mutants are too many though, and Safe's progress is slow. He's still too close to the bear but has no other choice. He turns and fires at the bear, igniting the buried explosives. The blast blows Safe off his feet backwards, but has the desired effect. It inflicts massive mutant casualties and creates a lull in their attack.

I believe Cozen is still on the ship, with a handful of others. Cozen can fly, right?
*TGJ and Needle having just stepped through the portal attached to Whitefall into the...whatever...going on where everyone else is.*

Hell no. Ain't got wings. I can back a 60 foot trailer into any bay a close quarters though, that's gotta count for something, eh?
Right. Enough pithy humour. I'm gonna assume conscientious pilots such as yourselves leave tech manuals close to hand where needed. So, I can read and apply the knowledge. Best the info is available on the bridge. If so, I'll do my best. Just, y'know, don't be expecting any smooth manoeuvers....
And, heh, MG's on board to navigate. What could possibly go wrong?

Yup. This oughta be fun....

While in his Berserker state Jazaf not only cuts through the horde of monsters, but out of the fight as well!
Slowly Jazaf comes out of his 'kill first, ask questions later' type state, he looks at his surroundings. He is covered in blood from head to toe and the stench is almost unbearable, He takes a step but something on his leg jabs at him. He looks down to find a spiked tentacle stuck in his thigh he quickly yanks it out, praying to God that the tentacle wasn't poisonous he catches a glint of metal before him. In front of him is a large steel warehouse looking structure.
'How did I end up here?'
Deciding to do some recon work, Jazaf runs up to the side of the building and slips inside. Loud screams and inhuman wails puts Jazaf on guard. But the absence of the threat of attack get's his mind wondering. He walks further in and what he finds horrifies him.
He watches as people are forced into large cylindrical chambers and covered in a odd liquid. Then after a few minutes the liquid drains leaving a horribly mutated being!
'There's gotta be a way to shut this down!' He curses himself for not wearing his wrist-communicator. Just then someone taps his shoulder, caught off-guard Jazaf spins around with his twin blades at the ready.
'Whoa! Calm down, Sensei! I managed to follow you here. You weren't gonna leave me outta this!' Deuce says excitedly.
Jazaf sighs and relaxes a little. He turns back around and motions Duece to witness the same events he saw unfold.
'This is gonna be a two-part lesson for you. Part one is the Blade that is used to defend others is always stronger, mainly because there is so much weighing on the success of the Defender. Part two is Stealth, we all need it you're just gonna need a lot of it. I want you to find out where they are getting these victims from and set them free got it? I'll try to halt the operations up here.'
Deuce nods and races off to the back of the building.
Jazaf stays where he is and surveys his surroundings.
'There!'
He spots what he's looking for and begins to make his move.

*As Cozen enters the bridge he is interupted mid conversation by Jet who's been attentively monitoring systems and crew mates from the pilot seat*
*rolls eyes*
Who's flying this thing? hmmm?
*taps a finger on her chin pensively and glares at Cozen with a smirky grin*
Thats right!
*smacks Cozen on shoulder* and you can pass that to the Chief Engineer!
