"Mana carelyë ná?! What are you doing?! I....I...," Kelly takes a deep breath. "On second thought, knock yourselves out. It's not like that dress has ever seen the light of day before now anyway. So, what's this about a meeting? And an Alliance cruiser?"

..So, Jade, you once said that you believed that this craft could not survive re-entry."
TheRealMe takes a deep breath.
"How strong is this belief?"
.
Well, that was really just speculation based on the fact that it is ..Made From A Bloody Crayon!. , but hey I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time, likey not to be the last either. Maybe we could.....

.'hey, so cling to the underside of the Cloud you say? ....is there any way we could get the Nandi to take the brunt of the burn? try and smooth the way out for the Cloud?'..
Right. See. Brillant. With the fighter soaking the heat from re-entry we should be fine, but it could get very hot in there for you. It's the sustained re-entry that was most worrisome. We should be able to take it for a little while. Here.. *craws under consol* let me reconfigure the SEP slighty ..........and patch this into this dial.......There! *slides out* Ok! now this should function like a Dimmer swith, TRM. Engage the SEP with this button *points at button* this dial beside it in the lowest position has the SEP fully engaged. Dial it up and power is diverted increasingly to make the field semi-solid. that should stop heat from building up between the two craft and allow us to roll over during re-entry, to take turns soaking heat. We should be able to switch 1/2 way though and both craft be fine, but it gets to hot in there, you shout. Won't hurt to flip every 1/4 of the way into atmo. Only drawback here is this: as that field becomes more solid we're diverting more energy from the cloaking part of the SEP, so someone watching that spot may catch a glimpse.
I hope you have someway of tracking these folk, that's a big place. Any idea where to start the search? Oh and load up on ammo and such could be we're walking into a hornet's nest down there.
*goes to a locker in the back and begins loading several pistols, sub-machine pistols, and a bag full of grenades*
*Pulls out nametags and Blue Sharpie and starts scribbling, pulls off a tag and hands it to MysteryMan.*
I know you might look a bit like him, but this will make you him. Things get too rough down there, you put this on. Regenerating from a gun shot is better than not. Don't use it unless you have to. I don't want to risk you getting stuck that way, you're much more attractive as you.
*turns to TRM*

He's losing it. And he knows.

I want the South Wing hidden from sight, in order to open the hanger doors without being noticed.” TheRealMe reaches down to select an emergency com channel. “I’ll contact you on this frequency. Keep it scrambled.”
*Excluding the brief interruption by the mystery man, Ath concentrates on turning the ship as slowly as possible. As he gets about halfway, a voice comes over the link to the Alliance ship.*
"Mister Ath? I would stop turning if I were you. We know very well what you are trying to do. If you choose to ignore my advise, we will be forced to attack."
"Are you so confident in yourselves?" replies Ath. "We aren't exactly defenseless."
"I am quite well aware of that. And if it were just us, your ship may have posed a threat. But check your long-range sensors. They should be in your range in about...oh! Now."
*Ath looks down at the monitor, and groans. A second Alliance cruiser had just appeared, presumably from the other side of the planet.*
"So, here is what you're going to do. You are going to continue on your course. You will lower your shields and you will not at any time arm your weapons. We will know the instant you do. Once you get into range of our tractor beam, you will not resist, but relinquish control of your ship to us. When we board your ship, you and your crew will not resist.
Now I know that there are many great fighters among your crew, but rest assured Mister Ath, we have many more troops than you. And of course, if a firefight was to break out, I could not guarantee that your crew would not be harmed.
Also, we know about your SEP field, and we have ways to counter it."
"What?! How did you...? And how do you know my name?"
"Let us just say that we have a mole aboard. And to think, we didn't even have put it there.
"Well, enough chit-chat. You have 2 minutes to decide. Comply and live, or try some heroics and die. I don't feel I need tell you that if your course changes by so much as a degree, we will attack.
Oh, and Miss TWG? Thank you for the laugh. 'Would you like fries with that?'. What is the expression? Lol?"
*The voice gives out a chuckle before cutting off the transmission.*
"Invader's blood marches through my veins like giant radioactive rubber pants. The pants command me! Do not ignore my veins!"

On the Ocean Cloud:
"Actually, Jadehand, my plan requires that I be me! And if Safe, Jack, and the Brides can get into space somehow, we might just be able to pick them up without re-entry."
TheRealMe reaches up, and a dot of light appears at his fingertip. It expands to become a small dimensional portal, a ring of fire surrounding a dark void, about a hand-span across.
"Hello, Bride6? Bride7? Safe? Jack? This is Me. Can you hear me?"

On Boros:
As Safe, Jack, Citizen, Bride6, and Bride7 are making their way to the hanger, a spot of light appears nearby. It expands into what some recognize as a dimensional portal of TheRealMe. TheRealMe's voice comes through like a distant echo:
"Hello, Bride6? Bride7? Safe? Jack? This is Me. Can you hear me?"
Bride6 laughs. "Hi, You!"
"Ah, good! You ARE there! It would be most convenient to us if you could make it into space, but we could probably make it down to you. What is your location on Boros?"

“All hands, we have an Alliance Cruiser staring us down! We’re trying to talk, but prepare for battle anyway. ThatWeirdGirl is in command. Jadehand, Seryn, prepare a rescue party to Boros in the Ocean Cloud, departure time in five minutes . I hope your cloaking technology is the real thing!”
Oh no!
*Serenity runs into the common room where she finds Soul kneeling on the floor. She's too preoccupied to notice him hastily shove something into his pocket.*
Soul? Did you hear? An alliance cruiser! If they board us and search the ship, they'll find me! I'm so worried!

The ring all but forgotten, Soul thinks quickly. His world, once again, has gotten rather complicated. He knows that the people down on Boros need help, but at the same time, Serenity is in danger.
Soul grabs Serenity's hand. "Come with me."
They quickly make their way to the shuttle bay and over to where the Ocean Cloud is preparing to launch. Soul steps inside and waves JadeHand over.
"I need one of those name tags for Serenity. She needs to be someone else, at least for a while."
JadeHand nods and writes a name on the tag and hands it to Serenity. "Put this on if the Alliance feds get on board."
Soul steps back out of the shuttle and turns to Serenity, kissing her with more passion than he has in a long time. Grabbing the resulting kissie, he pulls his arm out of the sling and places the kissie on his shoulder. He can feel the wound beginning to close up, and he wonders why he hadn't thought of that before.
"I have a job to do," Soul tells Serenity, "But I swear that I will protect you. Put on that name tag if you have to, and just know I will not let anything happen to you."
Soul feels the ring in his pocket. "I have something I need to ask you when I get back. Something good."
"Just don't die on me again," she orders.
Soul smiles and kisses her again. "I promise."

*twg looks at Ath, confusion clear on her face. she turns off the com*
A mole. We have a bloody frakin mole?! Who the...okay, I'm calm. Was it the baby? A new arrival? Doesn't matter. Ath go to red alert. Seal off engineering. It's the most secure section of the ship. Jet, Needle and Grey will hold the fort if anything happens. Notify the infirmary. We need Simon to get anyone in that area off the ship, the Alliance may be able to track the Ocean Cloud but they can't track the blue box.
*she moves to the controls and turns on the ship's comm*
I need the common room evacuated ASAP people. I can only handle a few people, my power can't take on two cruisers. Get to the animal park, KOL is in charge of elfin hiding. Soul, get your security team ready to defend the ship. Do not engage the enemy unless you must. I trust you Soul. I want Piff, Ebo, and BF in the blue box...Doc take care of them. Go. NOW.
*she turns to Ath*
Continue with your orders from TRM. We will complete our mission.
*she walks to the view screen, comm on and smiles*
I'm sorry, our shake machine is down. You'll have to come back tomorrow.

Jazaf grabs his Katana and straps it to his back.
He knows he can't make it to the hanger in time so Jazaf decides to stay behind in case things go south.
Jazaf heads to the bridge deciding that that is the best place to get some much needed info.
