On the Tree:
*Frederick spreads his new leathery wings and swoops into the fray. He grasps one soldier in both hands and breaks him in half. He leans forward as his monterous jaws snap shut leaving a pair of legs to fall over as he spits the rest of another soldier back out of the airlock and into a room of shocked Alliance troops*

A nearby Alliance troop: "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH....They have a DRAGON!!!!"

*Fredrick sucks in a deep breath, and tilts his head back slightly just before leaning forward to let loose his perfectly normal dino breath. The soldiers in front of him cower in fear of the expected breath of fire. Frederick snickers and takes to the air again, sweeping his tail behind him knocking soldiers off their feet.*

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

Better not to ask. Cozen made it.

On the Tripoli...

Seryn watches with stunned admiration as the Yeti flicks deft fingers over the controls, circumnavigating security systems and dodging programs like nobodies business. She completes a few tasks of her own, but realises he has taken care of most of the problems before she's even thought about them.

'Seryn?' she realises she's able to understand him better now, that he is making allowences for her 'all is ready, I push this button to start self destruct'

'Oh!, Oh good, you are wonderful! Ok, let me see if we can resolve this first..' she opens a channel to the bridge.

'Commander? Commander are you there? I'd like you to know that I have some more demands.

Yes, I realise my claims before were tenuous at best, I know full well that I probably couldn't out-rank the cleaning crew on this tub. And I also know that even with out that fun little interlude with your creepy rubber-fetishist guest, I probably had just about enough physical strength to fight off a damp doily. But things have changed, change is not alway good, and I now have something you don't have... ...access to your self destruct controls.

So what do you say Commander? Are you ready to do a little bargaining?'

*pauses*

'Oh, oh yes, I almost forgot... thank to our Blue Hand friend, who by the way, is going to leave a nasty stain on your upholstery, I'm almost totally deaf. So what ever you want to say, you are going to have to put up on a screen for me'

She switches a nearby screen on and watches as messages flicker onto it.

'Now Commander, thats a terrible thing to say! I think I may blush, honestly! Now, these are the demands, pretty simple I think you'll agree, recall your troops, cease any attempts to sabotage the Sereni-Tree, leave this vicinity immedietly.'

She reads the messages as they arrive thick and fast.

'Yes Commander, I am one mere girl, but I'm one mere girl with a Yeti, and I'm not afraid to use it... Now thats a hard line to take! Think of all your crew, and all their families, the children! Think of the children! ...oh but really, thats not going to happen and you and I both know it... Its no use trying to get to us, really it isn't. Are you sure we can't persuade you to see reason? No? Ok...'

'Ervine, hit the switch'

To the sound of the warning claxon, She picks up the communit for a shipwide announcement.

'ladies and gentlemen... and I suppose those of indeterminate nature. It would be in your best interest for you to make your way swiftly to the nearest escape pod. No, really, go, this isn't a drill, there will be no rescue at one second to go, this is real, so drop what you are doing, unless of course you've always fancied finding out what a thousand pieces feels like. I'm about to blow this ship to smitherines. You have 9 minutes and counting. Good day, and hope you have pleasant journey.'

'They are attempting to stop us'

'Can they get through?'

'No, Ervine is good'

'Ervine is the best!'course it helps that PR locked them out from their own end first..

She points out a map of the ship to him.

'Come on, the bay with the Nandi should be here, and we are here, if we go up by the access shafts first, then theres a short run for it. We'll make it, plenty of time'

Ervine pull a disbelieving face, but crosses to an access hatch and opens it. They begin climbing, slowly at first, until he gets sick of her slow progress, throws her over his shoulder and scramles up the ladders like a monkey on speed. Emerging onto the corridor, They see hundreds of people all running crazily In every direction, a few guards valiantly trying to herd them towards shuttles or escape pods. She feels a moment of doubt, and hope that they get off the ship ok, then picks up a couple of abandoned suitcases, and trys to act as much like a paniced diplomat as possible, whislt heading steadily towards the bay. Ervine follows her lead, aquiring his own suitcases from a real panicked diplomat, and follows her.

In the bay she sees more people milling around, but thankfully trying to

While standing by his new ally, McQ continues to shoot down the onslaught of incoming soldiers when he suddenly he gets a sense of something really bad is about to happen to him.

He turns to his new ally and says, "You better stand back. Something bad is about to happen."

She looks to him with a concerned expression but nods and backs away. Just as she does so, a small missle-like probe jets through the hole in the airlock and strikes McQ's left arm.

Electrical magnetic currents spread around his body as he drops to his knees in pain, dropping his blaster rifle in the process. The magnetic currents drain McQ of his energy so he's unable to fight back. Within a few minutes, McQ goes unconscious and drops to the ground with a loud metallic thud.

Several heavily armed Alliance troops attempt to storm the 'Tree and retrieve their "malfunctioning" cyborg who lies temporarily disabled on the ground.

Washie takes the long way around the cyborg's prone body, standing between him and the armed troopers. She slams bolts of energy into the soldiers approaching them, stopping their hearts instantly, the closest one to her spinning as he falls hard. Feeling suddenly a bit drained, she calls to anybody nearby for help as she continues to fight off encroaching fatigue and a hint of dismay.

"Gods, is this battle ever gonna be over?," she asks aloud, fighting on, determined to keep bringing hell as long as she's breathing and as long as RiverClone is along for the ride.

In the upper floors of the SereniTree:

As Jake7 leaves them, Deuce and Jazaf are left groping in the dark, just outside of the turret action stations.

“I wish I had a gorram flashlight. Um, wait, Sensei, I think I know where we are. This corridor over here should lead to the hanger. Hey, is anybody defending the hanger? Do you think they could get in through there? Land a squad or ten of purplebellies? And overrun the ship from the top down?”

Deuce sets off toward the hanger, feeling her way, occasionally bumping into walls. “I can take them!”

McQ's backup power source kicks in and gives him just enough energy to regain consciousness. His eyes open from behind the dark shield of his helmet and he tries to figure out where he is. Looking around, he realizes he's in a medical bay. He's not sure how he ended up in this room as he's aware his big metalic structure weighs a few tons.He can still hear fighting and gun blasts within the ship, but doesn't have enough energy to even sit up.

"Is ... is anyone there?" he asks aloud and waits for a response. "Hello?"

For the time being he remains alone in the room and his only thought is regaining his strength. "I need power. Is anyone there?" he asks again. "If only I could sit up," he thinks to himself. He tries, but is unsuccessful. McQ grunts with frustration and realizes that he'll have to wait for someone to come and help him - that is if someone happens to come along.

(Seryn, I decided to expand and Yeti-fy your post of earlier today.)

In the emergency control room of the Alliance Cruiser Tripoli:

Ervin the Yeti stops his furious typing, and with one uncommonly long, furry finger, hits the ENTER key. He seems satisfied with the response, and turns to Seryn.

“Lady! Ervin talk long with computer. Friends now. Destiny Shadow here too, ship of Soul, to help us. Ervin do what now? Big Boom? Fly to sun? Shoot flyers of bad ones?” Ervin pauses, then his face seems to brighten. “Fly to other bad ship? Make big, big bump?” As if to demonstrate, Ervin claps his hands together once.

Seryn looked closely at Ervin. “You say that all is ready? You can push a button to start self destruct?”

Ervin nods. “Boom!”

“They try stopping Ervin and Lady!”

'Can they get through?'

“No, Ervin good!” Ervin leans back in his chair and stretches out to his full considerable length. He had been hunched over that console for quiet a while.

Seryn smiles. 'Ervine is the best!' course it helps that PR locked them out from their own end first..

Ervin stands up and faces her, a satisfied smile (that no longer seems so terrifying) on his face. “But Ervin and Lady must go. Must go soon, or BOOM with ship!” Ervin gestures dr
