"I think so, Brain, but wouldn't the wings get in the way?"
*Kelly lifts her head, realizing she left three people locked in the animal park. She shoots a glance toward PsychicRiver who is standing near Ath trying to look like he knows what he's doing.*
"Watch over him, will you? I will be right back."
Kelly walks as quickly as she can to This Land. She punches in the code and the doors slide open. Muttering a few words in Elvish, she watches as her wards disappear to reveal Serenity, Mai, LMD and Soul all sitting in a circle playing cards. Serenity is the first to notice her.
"Kelly! Is it over? Can we come out?" Her eyes travel over Kelly's ripped and bloody dress. "Oh my...are you okay? Your arm--"
"It is nothing," Kelly says.
Serenity frowns as she looks into Kelly's eyes. Her voice is low and quiet when she next speaks.
"Where's Ath?"

"Outstanding, McQ!"

"Just trying to help out, sir." McQ responded. He then leaves the infirmary to see if any other wounded need assistance. As he wanders slowly back to the common room he observes the damages, blood and in some cases total destruction left behind.
Deep within his remaining human memory, McQ tries to recall why he joined the Alliance in the first place as their coldness and brutality don't seem to suit him anymore. He quickly dismisses the thought and returns to the matters at hand, finding those who need help and making sure they get it.

Wicked!*PR smiles to himself that has a short vision. He slowly looks to the side of him, and spies...draped over a chair...the white lab coat of his father.*
*PR has a mini flashback to his father taking off his coat and rolling up his sleeves when Ath was bought into the infirmary.*
*PR slowly walks up to the coat, not taking his eyes off it, as if contemplating the idea.*
*He slowly reaches down and put his hand into the pocket, and finds what he suspected he would. He pulls it out of the pocket slowly and looks at it; A key.*

"We'll take care of each other. I'll knit!"
"I swallowed a bug."

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

She wanted Shadow, She wanted to be out of this scary place, She wanted a pony, and she wanted Some food. So she did whatever any six-year-old would do in this situation, she began to cry...loudly.
Safe cringes back at the cry. "Hush hush now little one."
Safe calls over his shoulder "Bobby-Sue, can you bring our little stow-away back here. I think I've found something that belongs to her."
Bride6 looks pleadingly at Bride7.
Bride7 rolls her eyes in disgust. "Just because you got shot, you want me to wait on you hand and foot??"
Grumbling, Bride7 leads an apprehensive Shadow to the back.
"This little one one of yours?" Safe asks Shadow, a grin on his face. "See if you can settle her down a mite, I'll be back in a minute"
"Hey!! I'm no gorram babysitter!!" Bride7 sputters as Safe joins Citizen in the airlock.
Needy chuckles at Bride7's dipleasure. Bride7 glares at him, cutting his laugh short. Needy absently rubbed the scars of his bullets wounds. His laugh had caused pain and it wasn't a quick stab of pain, it was a deep lingering ache.
"Safe, everything is unlocked, but the door won't budge. It's like something is pushing on it from the other side." Citizen grunts as he pushes on the hatch.
Meanwhile on the Tree side of the airlock, Ebo Golem continues to push on the furniture blocking the airlock, because no one told it to stop.

"Okay Jet what's next?"
Jet comes into view from around some bulky machinery. She looks very tired, but less stressed than before. She has gotten cleaned up and is wearing a clean(er) set of coveralls. She is casually holding a dataslate in one hand and a stylus in the other. “Glad you’ve rejoined us, Warren. Next? For you, it’s a meal.” Jet gestures over to an out-of-the way corner of Engineering to a cart with covered plates. “I asked Sparky to send down some things from the kitchen. I didn’t know what you liked, so I got a variety: a cheeseburger with fries, a veggie plate, some fruit, and a no-meat pasta dish. To drink, there’s soda, coffee, milk and lemonade. Take what you like. I’ve already had mine.
“If you’d like to get a quick shower and a change of clothes, there’s a locker room over there, with some spare coveralls in a variety of sizes. There are only three lockers with names on them: TheGreyJedi, Jet, and Needleseye. Take any of the others.” She shrugs. “Yeah, we’re all in there together. Grey didn’t build the place with any thought to segregation by gender. Actually, he sort of planned to be the only one down here. Sort of a loner, that guy.”
SR gets to his feet. “So, how go the repairs?”
Jet consults her dataslate, tapping it occasionally with the stylus to change displays. “Well, we got back main power, life support, the computer network, maneuver drive up to about 40% full thrust, and the quad-laser turrets on the top and bottom of the ship. I just returned from fixing the power coupling that feeds into the dorsal quad-laser. The plasma cannons will be harder to get going, so I’ve left them alone for now. Hmmm… Let’s see… I’ve sent some of our DRDs to patch over several breaches on the ship’s hull. We lost atmo integrity in a couple of cargo bays, and there was a slow leak in the west wing, but that's all taken care of. At least, it should be. I have plans to go to the Hanger to take an EVA pod out to inspect the work myself.
"So, at this point we can breathe and stay warm, we can move (a bit), and we can fight (a bit)."
SR starts uncovering plates of food. “So what do we fix next?”
Jet looks up from her dataslate. “TheRealHim wants a stardrive working so we can get out of the Boros system entirely. He’s up in the Bridge now, plotting courses to our most likely destinations. He’s pretty sure that it’s only a matter of time before the Alliance comes looking for us again, and wants us out of here to some safe place we can land and conduct more extensive repairs on the ship.”
Jet, Bride4
