At the Leighton Docks starport on Commerce:
TheRealMe sticks his head out of the hatch of the Dagger. "Soul! Safe! Needy! Citizen! Mai! Hello, everyone. Say, if somebody can take over the interrogation, I can concentrate on making a dimensional portal to wherever Serenity is right now."

*JadeHand had no idea he was so wounded. He's strapped into a chair as the others secure themselves and Ocean Cloud takes off for Sereni-Tree leaving Garrison behind. he drifts in and out, overhearing pieces of communications. He hears enough to become concerned about the safety of those on the Tree, and he forces conciousness upon himself. Stiring in his seat, he unfastens the belt and stands. His hand holds his side as if holding his own guts in. He steps to the bridge of the shuttle.*
"Quin, welcome back. We need to get to the Tree quickly and quietly."
"You need to sit back down Jade. You need medical attention."
"I'll worry on that later. We've got friends who need us now."
*JadeHand approaches a firstaid kit in one of the cabinets, and takes a handfull of painkillers. He then remembers something that will deffinately help. Walking back to the front of the shuttle he calls the crew forward.*
"Quin, autopilot please." *Quincey hits a few buttons and stands to face JadeHand*
"Wisp, NOSkillz, Deuce. You all rescued Quin and she might feel the need to give you a proper thank you."
*Quin blushes slightly then understands, She steps up to Wisp and pulls him to her. Planting a firm kiss on his lips. A Kissie spouts from their connection. 
JadeHand grabs the Kissie and presses it to Wisp's wounded leg. The skin seals on both sides and returns his leg to normal. Quin steps to NOSkillz and plants a big Kiss on his lips. JadeHand grabs it and presses it to his side. the buising begins to fade internal organs stitching themselves back together. Quin turns to face JadeHand and presses her lips to his. the resulting kissie is picked up by NOSkillz and pressed to JadeHands forehead. The wound seals, the bleeding stopped. Quincey bends down and kisses Shadow on the top of the head Shadow chases the kissie to the back of the shuttle, scratching himself on a table and immediately being healed by the Kissie. Finally Quin turns to Duece. She reaches out to her and takes her gently by the back of the head. Pulling her close she steps in and presses her lips to Deuces lips. Dueces eyes go wide. Quin's other hand comes up to Deuces face and holds her tight. Quin's tongue slips out and presses past Deuce's lips and finds hers. The heat in the shuttle increases noticably as Duece stumbles backwards to rest against a nearby chair. Quin keeps up with her and presses her body against Deuce, sucking Dueces tongue into her mouth.
Quin pulls away and wipes a finger across her lips.*
"Thank you all, for rescuing me from that...that...man."
*Quincey returns to her seat, turns off the autopilot and continues the trek back to the Tree. the resulting Kissies are rounded up and used to cure the remaining wounds. JadeHand still needs to have the doc check on his internal wounds, but they are no longer a priority. The shuttle draws into the Tree's Hanger.*

(ooc- ah, no matter how much you try to tell yourself the cliche's about male fantasy's ain't true...)
Seryn stops dead.
"The beacon won't work? At all.... I'M HERE FOR NOTHING?"
She growls, loudly, then starts a low litany of every cuss word she's ever heard, even the ones she doesn't know the meaning of. Eventually she controls her self, but not until after she's kicked Heinz a couple more times and shouted at the guard when he dared to move.
For a moment she's silent, examining the mud and crap on her feet, she's concious of a pain on the soft fleshy part under the left arch, realises its probably cut to shreds and idly wonders how long she's got to get some antibiotics down her neck.
She crosses to the table, finding and holding up various blades for Serenity to see, a half assed mockery of one of the bimbos on televison gameshows.
"The roof. *She looks over her shoulder at Serenity* If this building is like the ones around, its flat roofed.
TRM will no doubt be trying his portal trick, but if we can get to the roof, they'll be in a shuttle, they'll be able to see us"

*Serenity finds two blades that will do well enough for now.*
Yes, the roof. Of course. We could try those stairs over there, see where they lead. But first, what about the guards? Should we kill them, or just tie them up and leave them somewhere?
One day.
One plan.
One army of Browncoats.
On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.

Commerce city: McQ, SR and Sparky hop out of the cab. SR toggles up his comm-link to connect with Citizen.
"Citizen it's SR. McQ is with me and sparky I'm about 120 meters from your location. I can't seem to locate Seryn and Serenity. I'm heading toward you. Is there anything I should know before I start moving?"

In the Dagger at the Leighton Docks Spaceport on the moon of Commerce:
Worried about Serenity's safety, TheRealMe attempts to open a dimensional portal to get a peek at Serenity's location. He tries a number of times, unsuccessfully.
"Safe, Soul, I hope you guys are getting some good information out of your interrogations, because I can't open a portal to Serenity. Her location must be shielded, somehow. We'll have to do this the old fashioned way. Most importantly, we'll need a destination!"

**jake7 sits in the gun turret, ready to fire when and if the crusier coming in starts something. So far, it seems unaffected by their presence and sets about locking into orbit.**
TWG, think you can hack into their communications and see what that cruiser is up to? They don't seem to be doing much other than getting ready to send shuttles planetside. I'm ready for action if something starts, but I'm not seeing any aggressive moves on the part of the cruiser. Might just really be here to pick up parts or taxes...

Hearing this, Soul and Safe can but look at each other glumly. They hadn't gotten anywhere. The man had proven less than helpful, not to mention that their idle threats did nothing to motivate him to want to speak up.
Needy pops his head around, with an expression that could only be described as glee. "I think I can help."
The two leaders shoot a look at the incongruous character.
"I’m sorry Needy but… what? What can you do?" Safe asks plainly, careful not to offend the companion with an improper tone. "I mean, you yourself have told me that you’re not cut out for this sort of work."
"That was before I realised it could be so much fun playing the hero" Needy replies hastily.
"Fun? Fun?!" Soul shouts, now annoyed by the companion’s seemingly carefree attitude. "Serenity’s in mortal danger and you think this is fun?!! This is not a gorram game!"
"No... I know that. Sorry. I just… did you see me out there?"
"This isn’t the time for you to play hero. These are serious men we’re dealing with." Safe calmly replies to Needy whilst placing a hand on the shoulder of Soul, hoping to ease his distress.
"I know that. But they’re not taking you seriously. That guy in there isn’t going to tell you anything if he doesn’t believe you will actually go through with your threats."
"So you’re suggesting we torture him?" Safe questions, "cos that’s not what we do"
"You don’t need to. Use me." Needy offers
"What?" Soul asks confused.
"My body can cope with any injury. But it still looks nasty nevertheless, for a while at least. Use that to scare him."
"You mean…" Safe begins
"Throw me in there with him. Pretend that I’m another suspect and threaten to torture me right in front of him. Then do it."
"Torture you?"
"Well it’s not torture if I can’t feel it. But it would look that way."
Safe and Soul contemplate the decision. Could they really go that far? What if Needy was wrong, and they actually hurt him.
After a moment of silence, Soul asks "Are you sure... sure you want to do this?"
"To help out... to make sure that Serenity gets back ok? Of course."
"Ok" Safe adds
"Do it" Needy tells them.

"Are you sure you're up for this?" Safe asks concerned.
"Sure." Needy replies
"You think you can pull it off?"
"Are you kidding? My profession depends on me acting out somebody's sick fantasies"
"We didn't need to know that" Soul jumps in, his attitude more positive now. Although his thoughts still centre on the wellbeing of his love, Serenity, something tells him that this plan may actually work.
"So, you want us to mess you up now?"
"Well, a little now, a little later. It's all gonna help the performance" Needy replies with a grin. He's really enjoying the opportunity that has presented itself. And to think, an hour ago he was sick to the stomach at the idea of being hurt. Now he was volunteering his body up... not that he wasn't used to that.
SMACK. Safe punches Needy in the eye.
"You could have given me some warning."
"Sorry" Safe apologises
"I'm going to hit you now." Soul says dryly. Planting a firm punch at the other side of Needy's face, Soul grins.
"I think you're enjoying this too much" Needy states.
"Just taking out my frustration."
"Well you can save a little for the ones responsible."
"I guess."
"Now" Needy continues, "stab me"
"What?" Safe's jaw drops.
"C'mon it'll look good. Just get your knife out and stab me here" Needy points to his side.
"oookay." Safe replies as he lunges at him with the knife, penetrating his side.
"AGH!" Needy cries out in pain as he staggers back.
"Ai Ya!" Safe exclaims.
Both Soul and Safe slowly approach the injured companion, both asking "Are you okay?"
Needy instantly straightens up as he reveals a wicked smile. "How's that for a performance?"
The faces of the two drop as they realise the joke that had been played on them.
"Can we torture him already?" Soul asks
"Yeah, throw him in" Safe instructs

"Ok that was wierd. Great dont get me wrong but very weird!" Wisp feigns staggering out of the shuttle and clutches his chest "Any chance of a repeat performance in private? Ive got a terrible rash on my....."
"play your cards right and maybe" says Quin with a cheeky smile playfully patting deuce on the behind as she walks past. Deuce giggles and runs away.
'Thats why i took this job' Wisp mutters to himself carrying his belongings over his shoulder that he left in the OC and dragging Doris behind.
"Now where do i sleep?" Jadehand looks at him funny then grasps what he's meaning.
"Oh yeah this is your first time to the actual ship, Just follow me." Jade directs Wisp to a little room at the back of the boat and tells him to unpack and make himself at home.
"here we are Doris Home sweet home" as Wisp begins to unpack Deuce's voice comes over the tannoy.
"Crew we have a new member aboard Y'all go and say hi"
