*JadeHand looks about at the scene.*

"What exactly does one do with an unconscience Lava Dragon? Are we capturing Lava Dragons now, or do we put it out of the towns misery? And Where's the rider?"

*An impact against the field behind them answers his last question. He turns to see the rider launching attacks against the group in the street. He looks down at the Cutlass on his hip, then across the distance between him and the rider as the rider continues to bounce attacks off of the field from the distance.*

"This will never do."

*JadeHand reaches into his bag and pulls out a pad and begins to scribble.*

"But you sleep like a ghost with me
It's as simple as that
So tell me I'm mad
Roll me up and breathe me in
Come to my madness
My opium den
Come to my madness
Make sense of it again."

what scant preparations can be made completed, Seryn returns to watch the goings on through the new armour shaped holes in the walls.

Its not going well...

Running for her things she grabs her longbow from her bag and tries to fire the arrows through the chinks, but soon finds her tummy is really getting in the way.

Searching the room, she spots a crossbow on the wall.

It takes two feet and all her body weight to load a bolt. But the result when she eventually manages to fire it is spectacular.

"phew baby...!"

The dragon made a bizarre squawking noise, quite like an amplified pig upon seeing the interestingly shaped instruments.
instantly it started trying to remove the bolt, eventually landing to try and chew it off, like a dog with bad itch, and dropped its rider who stumbled around for a few moments, before dropping to the dirt with a second bolt through his neck.

"Good shot!" one of the barmaids yelled from her perch atop a barstood. "right through the throat!"

"really? ok, have to remember it pulls a little high..."

Shoe shopping, do you even have to ask? Of course! That's how I got back, found these lovely little "dorothy" shoes on a clearance rack! They work pretty well. Also, got you and Sera some matching Mommy and baby comfy slipper shoes. Yeah, I know she can't walk yet, but they were too cute to pass up.

Planetside not too much going on. Something about some strange people that would like to see us all dead and these huge dragons that nearly leveled the pub. Nothing too exciting... oh and there were snakes, lots and lots of snakes!

I will go and collect Sera from Soul. Maybe the two of you can have a nice romantic day to yourselves?

Oh, so nothing out of the ordinary happening planetside.

Oooh! Matching slippers! You're the best!

Sera's starting to be able to grab onto things, so watch your hair!

A bit of alone time would be nice.....

Right, I've gotten a complete sequence ready. Now I just need to start the main replication process and let it gestate for a while.

*cackles diabolically*

What was that?

What?

We talked about the cackling.

That was just a giggle of delight.

Watch it.

I'm going to go see how my namesake is doing with the trolls.

It's just that stupid! Though, it *is* hard to see this shield. These dragons must be color blind and can't see the light transparent blue of the shield.

**A lightbulb goes on over jake7's head**

Hey! I wonder if the color has to be transparent, of if just this color will make us hard to see?
:

Well, time to see if this thing is part chicken or not...

**jake7 takes a deep breath and begins clucking like a chicken. The wobbly dragon stares at the group and tries getting through the force field again. This time, he knocks himself out cold.**

Well, not sure if I confused it or what. But, hey, it's out cold so we should do something with him before he awakens!

TheRealMe considers the situation. He touches a hidden control on his wristband and his medieval garb turns from traditional kelly-green to a deep blue. He tunes it slightly to match the color of Jake7's force field, then draws his cloak's hood over his head.

"Okay, Jake7, let me out!"

Jake7 presses buttons on her gadget and a hole appears in the force field on the other side from the attacking lava-man. TheRealMe jumps out and Jake7 re-establishes the full force field.

As TheRealMe charges the lava-man, he draws a sword and flicks a switch on its hilt. A high-pitched whine begins.

"Always wanted to try out this new vibro-blade. It should cut through solid steel!"

As he approaches, the confused lava-man looks this way and that, but cannot spot him. The blue clothing seems to render the wearer invisible to them.

TheRealMe meets his foe and swings his vibro-blade. "Okay, lava man! Let's see just what you're made of!"

Sparks fly, the whine stops, and TheRealMe draws back the remains of his blade, which is now partially melted slag.

"Oh, right! You're made of LAVA!"

*watches the bolt through the neck of the rider she shot burn up to nothing, and then as the rider stands and starts moving towards his dragon*

"oh poot!"

"what we need is a magician"

"what you think card tricks will stop them?"

"no, but the big show off always have dry ice with them - i'm wondering if dry ice wouldn't slow them a little"

"Whats you're name?"

"Stephanie"

"Stephanie, you are my new best friend!" Seryn pulls out her comm link to the Tree and puts it on ship wide alert.

"Helloooo Tree folk, we need help. we're being hassled by people made of Lava, yup, thats right ,Lava.

So i was wondering, if Simonwho, or anyone else, wouldn't mind just sending us as much dry ice or industrial strenght coolant, or anything else really, really cold, just to hose 'em down with.

Would that be possible?

and quickly?"

*walks into the Security room to find Soul with Sera fast asleep in his arms.

I hate to interrupt such a sweet moment, but I have a date with the most adorable baby on this boat. And you have a date with your wife! Best get going. You don't want to keep her waiting.

As our intrepid hero's are being menaced by lava creatures SR as a epiphany. He turns to Seryn, "Isn't magma made of a high concentration of iron?"
"yes, so that would mean..."
"yes, I'm guessing that a good EMP will short circuit whatever those creatures use for a nervous system. As I recall I had a bunch of EMP warheads rigged up to use for the ballistae catapaults." SR turns to Snarky. "Snarky all these people are in desparate need of your help. Would you please run as fast as you can to the ship and bring back the EMP warheads I made for the catapualts."

"Time? Alone? Wow. I can't remember what that's like. Thanks, Mai!"

Soul walks as quickly as he can to the room he shares with Serenity and slips through the door. He smiles as he sees his bride standing there dressed only in a very transparent piece of lingerie. He crosses the room and they kiss longingly. Finally they break apart.

“How about a dip in the hot tub?” Soul asks, very glad that he had gotten the private Jacuzzi installed in their room the week before.

Serenity smiles back. “That would be nice.”

Soul almost dances into the bathroom and starts the water, adding bath salts and bubbles, lighting candles and turning on some soft jazz. Finally, feeling that everything is perfect, he steps back into the bedroom.

“Oh, Sereni--”

He stops. His bride, looking as sexy as ever, is lying on the bed…asleep.

“Huh.”
