TheRealMe, Jadehand, Seryn, ItsAWash, Rat, and SoulOfSernity (and maybe CallMeSerenity) are cut off from the common room and trapped in the hanger bay on top of the South Wing.
Mind racing, TheRealMe speaks into his com-link. “Computer, close and seal both main air lock hatches!”
”Acknowledged. Unable to comply.”
“Unable? Why?”
”Automatic control of that area has been terminated.”
TheRealMe spins on his heel and runs back into the hanger bay. “Computer, prep all remaining EVA pods for immediate launch!”
”Acknowledged. Initializing start-up procedure for EVA pod 5. Initializing start-up procedure for EVA pod 6.”
“Computer, who did we lose?” TheRealMe dreads the answer. Who had been in the common room when the airlock doors opened?
“Please restate question.”
“Dammit! List all individuals who have departed Serni-Tree within the last minute.”
TheRealMe hops into the nearest EVA pod, number 5, feet first.
”Understood. The list has no members.”
At that moment, the klaxon stops and the red lights stop flashing.
”The main airlock has been sealed.”
TheRealMe sighs and climbs out of the pod. “I guess someone acted quickly enough to avert disaster.” He yells down the length of the hanger bay. “Soul! Gather your deputies and investigate this matter! If Mai or this doll or both are responsible, I want them in the brig!”
TheRealMe squints to count his companions. “Soul?”
TheRealMe, First Officer of the Sereni-Tree

*PR goes to the mule that himself and Piffle recovered on the cursed maiden voyage of their hang-glyder, 'Thingamyjig'. It's also the very vessel that Jack and Safe came aboard the Sereni-Tree on. PR had named the mule 'Thingamyjig 2' in tribute to the short-lived 'Thingamyjig'.
*PR hopped into the mule and started hitting the controls, he turned the key in the ignition, and it's engine roared to life. The others in the Tree looked around to see what was going on. The mule hummed forward slowly and PR flew it out of the hanger bay.*
Now, with some careful steering, I should make it to my destination without a bump!

*Serenity runs as fast as a 4 1/2 month pregnant winged woman can run toward the airlock. She meets up with TRM and the others at the door to the common room. She pounds her fist on the door in frustration.*
Ow!
What are we going to do? We have to get in there!!!
*begins to hyperventilate*
_______________________________________________
*Placing a tentative arm around the distraught obviously pregnant crew member's shoulders, Wash draws her away from the sealed door murmuring soothing "It'll all be okay.." noises. When Serenity gasps out, "How?" Wash replies, "I don't know, it's a mystery..." leading the lovely enceinte one to the bulkhead wall where Serenity can lean or slide down to sit on the floor.
Wash breathes slowly and deeply making sure to keep eye contact as Serenity breathes with her, lessening the shorter breaths to normality. "The baby needs oxygen through you, so we'll need to keep respiration even."
Serenity feeling much better, Wash looks over at TRM who should be relieved upon hearing that no casualties resulted from the 'Tree's latest disaster. She nods in hearty approval at the call to go all brig'gn' on the demon kid and Mai, if necessary, but pales as she realizes we're short one Soul.Pic courtesy of KellyofLuthien

Soul stands slowly. His body is bruised, but he'll live. He looks around the room and spots Mai by the now closed airlock doors. He limps over to her, relieved to find her breathing, but unconscious. The doll, however, is nowhere to be found. Soul looks over towards Schwartz and sees Cozen grinning back at him, his face a mixture of humor and pain. Then Cozen’s eyes grow wide as they focus on something over Soul’s shoulder. Soul spins just in time to feel the impact of a corkscrew in his leg. He cries out in pain and sees Charlie standing on top of the bar brandishing a variety of drink-mixing utensils, including one rather sharp looking olive skewer.
“Well,” Soul says, “This is one time when I had better hear the phrase ‘you were right and I was wrong’!”
He rolls out of the way just in time to avoid another corkscrew.
“I could use some help in here!”

I assure you, I won't ever denude the crew, I find anyone nude, I'm leaving 'em that way.

They all pound down the corridor, TRM in the lead, desperately hoping they're not too late...
Oh yeah, trouble.
*meets with everyone near the airlock*
Ok who's ready to get in there and help? And what's the plan? Take it for study or blow it out of the

The loneliness calls him, And the edge which must be sharpened,
He's losing it. And he knows.
But there's a fighter in his mind and his body's tough
The years have been unkind, but kind enough." -Ocean Cloud (Marbles) -Marillion

*Breathing heavily, KellyofLuthien enters the common room brandishing a bow, arrow locked on Charlie. Seeing a new target, Charlie starts pelting corkscrews and icepicks at Kelly, who defty ducks them, keeping her arrow trained on the maniac robot. Looking over at Soul, she says:
"Ai! Why is that baby attacking you? Just give me the word and I'll shoot!"

"Keep him occupied!" Soul shouts back. He rolls behind a sofa and selects an arrowhead off of the bandolier on his chest. Screwing it onto the end of an arrow shaft, he takes a deep breath and then roles back out into the open. Charlie sees him, but Soul fires the arrow before the doll can do anything. The arrow impacts the doll in the chest, and sends up blindingly white sparks as the arrowhead does its job and proceeds to fry the doll's circuitry. Charlie falls behind the bar, still sparking, and now smoldering.
Soul gets up slowly and walks over to the bar. He leans over and sees Charlie lying there, eyes open wide as flames begin to eat away at its head. Soul’s shoulders sag and he turns around to face Kelly.
“Well, that’s the end of--”
In that moment, Soul once again learns the hard way to never turn your back on an enemy unless you’re SURE that they’re dead. He learns this as the now flaming Charlie leaps up and drives an ice pick into his shoulder.
OOC: No, Charlie is not gay. That's "flamimg" as in on fire...

*As the icepick finds its mark, Kelly lets loose two arrows that pierce Charlie's hands, preventing him from picking up any more deadly weapons. Charlie falls backward with a loud thump as Soul crashes to his knees in pain.
Rushing over to Soul, Kelly shouts:
"Someone please finish off that baby!"
The ice pick is embedded deeply in Soul's shoulder, and Kelly realizes that SimonWho would be best equipped to handle the removal. Whispering a few words in Elvish, Kelly lays her hands near the wound and feels a warm tingling enter Soul's shoulder. The hurt of the wound lessens, but Kelly can still see pain in Soul's eyes.
Grabbing his hand, Kelly whispers "Hold on, we'll get you some help."

*Serenity hears a yell from the common room and finds herself on her feet. She pries open the door and runs onto the balcony overlooking the common room just in time to see Charlie attack Soul with the ice pick.
*As Kelly fires arrows at Charlie, she swoops down to the ground level, pulling out her katanas as she does so. When she's done with Charlie, there's nothing left but a small pile of scrap metal and wiring.*
*Her anger finally subsiding, she drops her katanas and rushes over to where Soul lay on the floor.*
Is he okay? Is he going to be okay? There's so much blood! SIMONWHO! *she yells into her comm link* We need you in the common room now!
*She grabs Soul's hand.*
I'm so sorry. You were right. This is all my fault.
You're not allowed to die on me again!
