Once we're clear here we may skip over to the moon, and check out....I mean check on, the girls.
McQ stands back and scans the ship with his infrared eye for glitches or problems, walking around the entire ship as he does so.
"Everything seems clear. You should be good to go." McQ turns to look out toward the market place for the others and still sees none of them. "Wonder what's holding them up."

On the moon of Commerce, in the International House of Food, TheRealMe pushes his empty plate away.
"Ah, that was delicious! Thank you, everyone, for the company."
TheRealMe stands, dusts off his suit, and adjusts his tie.
"I'm going off shopping, now. I have come up with a scheme that should get me excellent customer service, and perhaps even substantial discounts."
TheRealMe puts on a pair of blue gloves and heads out to begin his shopping.

OOC - that wasn't relaxing, that was a temporary lack of action, SR doesn't know what true relaxation is, I doubt he's ever tried. But you may be getting there, few more rums, you'll get the hang of it
)Seryn sits back after finishing a large bowl of sorbet, her mouth feeling just about human again, imagining faint wisps of steam still rising from her ears
"well, that was bracing. I can see where the dragons get their fire-breathing abilities from.
So I take it a bit more shopping is on the agenda?
*pauses*
would you guys be any good at picking out baby clothes?"

FozzieWash, You know what I always say: sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug!
KermieMal, I never Know what the heck you're talking about.
FozzieWash, Hey, look! They're sending us free lumber!

"Do they come with laser sights?" Citizen asked.
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!

Deuce comes out of the Ocean Cloud holding some coveralls. "Hey, Noskills, Quincey wore this when she landed us. Do you think your cat can give it a snort and track her down? I'm getting a little worried about her, now. It usually doesn't take her this long to, uh, finish."
She looks at the recently landed Admiral Nelson. "Oh, are we all together again?"

Baby clothes shopping? Let's go. I've got quite a list of things I want to get for my little one.
You know Seryn, you've timed this pregnancy rather well. I'll be getting out of all my maternity clothes just as you're ready for them. And my baby will outgrow things in time for your baby to wear them. You're more than welcome to any hand-me-downs.
But all babies must have new clothes, so let's go shopping!

For the confused:
In a hanger on the planet Garrison, we have the shuttles Ocean Cloud and Admiral Nelson and the people Jadehand, Deuce / Bride2, McQ the cyborg, N0skillz and his tiger Shadow, ScorpionRegent, and WashsYoungerSexierBrother. SR thinks that LightMeDark is also with him, but I could find no record of him leaving the company of the shopping women.
Missing somewhere on Garrison after having gone partying is Quincey / Bride5. It looks like Deuce is getting ready to go track her down.
On Commerce, shopping moon of Garrison, we have the shuttle Napoleon Bonaparte and the people Seryn, Serenity, Mai, Citizen, TheRealMe, and I think LightMeDark. TheRealMe is about to head off on his own with his robot, Sparky.
PsychicRiver is still somewhere/somewhen in spacetime talking to his future self.
About everyone else is on the Sereni-Tree, orbiting Garrison.

OOC to Seryn- All things are relative Mil' Lady. There is a species of dolphin that only sleeps for ninety seconds at a time. Besides there are a lot of things about SR you don't know, but to reveal them now would spoil the surprises to come.
Meanwhile inside the cloud on Garrison:
"The rum is good and you have some fine points Jade, but there is a young man outside that has been hired on in exchange for room and board and I need to buy him a meal, so let's contimue this conversation at that restuarant five blocks west of here. My treat."

"Your treat? I'm in. I'll be with you in just a sec."
*JadeHand goes to the back of the shuttle and collects a miniture device, one of several he made while finishing parts for Ocean Cloud and attaches it to his belt. He ties a battery pack around his waist, connects the device, and slips on a longcoat to conceal it. He throws his bag of weapons and gear over his shoulder and secures the satchel and briefcase in a locker. Finally, he picks up a small remote control device, and joins the others.*
"Alright, seems we still have a missing Quincey. Duece, I wanna help you find her. But, no use searching on an empty stomach. Join us for a meal and we'll all go together. Chances are she's just enjoying the local 'amusements', but If there's trouble, It's better we face it together. If things get bad, stick close. Let's go."
*As they walk to the door of the hanger, Jadehand turns around, presses a button on the remote, and Ocean Cloud fades from view. They step out, pull in the Nelson and secure the hanger. *
"Hunger is God's way of saying...."Eat!".."

McQ continues to stand guard outside the hanger in case others return from their shopping spree or other choices of 'entertainment'. People continue to wander by, giving him a look or two - not sure what to make of the robotic figure. McQ pays them no heed as he's getting used to those looks.
Within the crowd in the nearby marketplace McQ spots what seems to be two young Alliance soldiers. At least they're wearing Alliance soldier jackets and hats. Concerned about being caught and deactivated by the Alliance, McQ decides he better be sure. Using his robotic eye, he zooms in for a better look and realizes they aren't Alliance at all - just a couple of younger guys wearing jackets that look very similar to those worn by Alliance troops. McQ lets out a small sigh of relief and continues to guard the hanger.
