Okay!! Since we seem to have revived Destiny (yay!), and even though the other thread was still young, I thought it might be a good time to start a new thread! TheRealMe made a very good point: we seem to be a bit unsure as to who does what around here! Here's our crew listing as of now:
THE CREW OF DESTINY
Amylisai: Crazy sister aboard the Destiny. Master of chop-stick-fu.
CallMeSerenity aka Serenity: First Officer.
CastIronJack: A gun hand. (Job titles include “Funny Man” and possibly “Chief Nurse”) Been missing a while.
Flechette: Cook.
Jazaf: Navigator.
Needy: A boy whore. Currently shrunk to one third normal size (all over, that is).
SafeAt2nd: Handyman.
SoulOfSerenity: Captain.
TheRealMe aka Doctor Me: Ship’s Physician and Mad Scientist. Medical license in dispute on some worlds.
Wildigstart aka Willie: Gifted mechanic on the planet that Destiny crashed on.
THE NOT-QUITE-REAL PEOPLE
Blossom: Red-headed love-bot of Doctor Me.
Bubbles: Blonde love-bot of Doctor Me.
Buttercup: Brunette love-bot of Doctor Me.
Jayne aka Irish Jayne, aka Jayne-bot: Flechette’s love-bot, modeled after Jayne Cobb. Father/builder of Lexa.
Lexa: The robotic “daughter” of Jayne and Flechette.
Original Kimmel aka OK aka Jimmy: Apparently, a creation of Doctor Me, who is supposing that he should have exercised more taste.
Trebek: Alex Trebek, the game show host (Huh?).
So it seems that we may be in need of a few crew members (or existing ones actually working for a living on my ship), so let the tryouts begin! The following positions will be up for grabs:
Pilot - will include flying through a mine field blindfolded
Engineer - will include repairing the engine during freefall
Cargo Master - will include a relay race involving protien bars and harvested organs
Shepherd - well, let's just say good luck converting some of my crew!!!
Let the tryouts begin!!!

Well!
The only reason that I became a quack doctor in the first place is that all the jobs that I was good at were taken! Now some have opened up.
But I've kind of gotten used to being a doctor, as long as I close my eyes when any kind of blood is involved.

EW!
Serenity ignores Dr. Me's last statement and runs down the corridor Soul pointed towards.
"SAFE!" She hollers. "YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME FOREVER!!! I WILL FIND YOU!!! Best to come out now and face me like man, you purple bellied coward!!!!"

"HEY!! What about me!?! I Ain't just another pretty face youknow. I know my way around... well... stuff! Waddya need an engineer for?"
Safe's voice echos through the ship reaching Soul and Dr. Me. It is quickly followed by a high pitched scream as Safe's yelling gave away his hiding spot.
"Come back here you big chicken!" Serenity's yells also reach Soul.
A loud CLUNG echos through the ship and Soul and Dr. Me turn as one, "He forgot to duck again..."
"Y'know, he's lucky that low archway doesn't take his fool head off." Souls says to Dr. Me. "Although, I can't see as he would miss it."
Dr. Me's eye light up as he ponders the feasibility of headless crew members.
Soul shakes his head sadly, "I really gotta set higher standards when hiring on crew..."

Safe's yells do indeed give away his location.
Serenity swoops down on him, gun raised, as he enters the common room. He grabs a wrench someone left lying around and holds it in front of him in defense.
"Oh, please!" she says. "You'd never hit me with that!" She lowers her gun and grabs him by the shirt collar, pulling him close, her fist clenched.
"Your pranks are driving me CRAZY!! And they stop. NOW."
Safe flinches, ready for her punch. She pulls him closer. 
CLUNG! He drops the wrench.
"You owe me new powder." She whispers, before letting him go and walking away.

Dusting himself off and catching his breath after his "near-death-by-crotch-asphyxiation", Needy stands tall whilst his crewmembers chase each other about
"Back to normal, I guess" he sighs
Needy had been ignored for too long of late, and being knocked over by Me was the last straw
Grabbing a hold of his comm, he makes an announcement which sounds throughout the ship.
"Excuse me. Is this thing on? Ahem. Yes, anyway, I would like to make an announcement. I sure hope this thing is working, otherwise I will look mighty stupid"
"It's working" Soul calls from down the corridor.
"Excellent." Needy replies, before continuing on the intercom system. "I have been doing a lot of thinking of late, and I realise that my current state has not exactly done wonders for my job as male companion, so I would like to announce my immediate retirement."
Collective jaws drop. Everyone on board knows how much Needy loved his job, but unfortunately the short little tyke was right, there's not much you can do when you're 2ft tall. It turns out size does matter in this profession
"What you going to do?" Soul asked, concerned for the ex-boy whore
"That would be my second announcement... I would like to become this ship's shepherd"
Collective jaws drop off crewmembers heads.

Doctor Me seems a little surprised as he looks down. “Oh, Needy, was that you attached to my groin area just then? Sorry, I thought that sensation was something left over from my earlier time with… Ummm… Oh, never mind. But you do remind me that long ago I agreed to research some method to change you back to normal. Right! Now where is that goop?”
Doctor Me starts pulling vials out of the many pockets of his long white lab coat, shaking his head, and tossing them over his shoulder one by one. Then he stops and smiles, staring cross-eyed at a vial of sickly green, glowing, viscous fluid. “Ah! This is the one!”
Holding the vial in his left hand, he continues to rummage around in his pockets with the right. “Ow!” Squinting with pain, Doctor Me pulls his hand out, revealing it to be impaled through the palm with the needle of a syringe. “Ow! I hate needles!”
Clamping the vial in his teeth, Doctor Me pulls the syringe out of his right palm with a gasp and rubs the needle once or twice on the sleeve of his lab coat. Then he takes the vial from his teeth, jams the needle in, and carefully draws out a measure of the strange fluid. Finally, he tosses this last vial over his shoulder. The vial breaks when it hits the floor and the remaining fluid coalesces together and scurries away.
“Needy, I can absolutely guarantee that this mixture has a 17% chance of altering your genetic structure in a positive way!”
Needy is skeptical. “What do you mean by ‘positive way’?”
Doctor Me’s brow furrows as he ponders this. “Well, I suppose it means that you, or some part of you, will end up bigger than now.” Doctor Me’s face brightens. “Or maybe you’ll grow a NEW part that will get bigger!”
Needy does not seem convinced.
Doctor Me gets defensive. “Hey, it works! It produced that lobster-man creature. And THAT thing started out as a little kitten.” Doctor Me stops, and concentrates. “I mean a cockroach. It started out as a cockroach. Or a bunny. Or… or… Ummm.. Hey, has anyone seen Trebek lately?”
Doctor Me dashes off to inventory his surviving lab animals.

"...Not exactly the reaction I was expecting..."
Safe wanders into engineering, eyes glazed over, absently putting things away.
"... not an unpleasant reaction mind you..." Safe puts screwdrivers in his lunch pail and his sandwich in the cot and his pillow, with some effort, in the toolbox.
"...caught me by surprise... my, what a surprise..."
Safe shakes his head "Wait! What's this about Needy? A sheppard? That's just all manner of wrong. Nice little fellow and all, but Sheppard material??" Pauses considering.
"Although... some people do consider the pillow a confessional of sorts, and he is somewhat of an expert on pillows..."

Serenity smiles satisfactorily to herself.
"Should have done that ages ago!"
She heads back out into the hallway to see Needy standing there, looking somewhat defiant.
"Well, Needy. I dont see why not, if you feel the calling. Prostitute turned preacher has a kind of poetry to it. Makes sense, in a sort of twisted way. I wish you well!"

"Yippee! We're back!" Amy gyres and gimbols
The rest of the crew wonder what the big deal is, they were already back on the ship.
"So yes, let me think, maybe cargo master? I like to keep things organized. And it rings well with "chopstick-fu master"...but if anyone else has more qualifications, I'm happy to stay the crazy sister... You never know when you might need a co-pilot" sniff sniff, misses Wash. Oh wait, wrong ship.

Jazaf emerges from his quarters smiling like an idiot, his steps are slow and his legs are wobbley. After a few stumbles he finally makes it to the kitchen, he opens up a RTE ration and digs in. Halfway through the Lexabot taps him on the shoulder and asks, "And where have you been?"
"...overcoming emotional pitfalls...?"
"Really?"
"Oh yeah. The Lovebots.. er Girls helped me through a tough time just now."
Jazaf doesn't notice the water dripping behind the Lexabot, atleast not until she shoves a snowball that she snuck onboard down his pants. Jazaf proceeds to scream like a little girl and tries to get the snowball out of his pants.

So, half a dozen robots, a Quack who never passed basic hygiene, a short whore sick of whoreing, and a whole lot of running about.

Safe looks up puzzled. "Do we now have a narrator??"
Safe shrugs his shoulders and continues walking/ floating around engineering in a daze.
Shrill screams break him out of his euphoria. "Hunh? Wha? Are we crashing??"
Safe runs towards the source of the screaming and pauses at the door to the kitchen, awaiting the scary music normally associated with the appearance of zombies or some such. Hearing nothing, Safe shrugs again and enters the kitchen to find Jazaf writhing on the floor.
"Space spiders?? I hate spiders. Hang on Jazaf, I help you!" Safe runs up to Jazaf and starts kicking him in the pants.
"Die foul spiders!! Die!"

"You know, I'm wondering that myself."
Soul wanders into the kitchen, following the sound of screaming. He sees Jazaf rolling on the floor, Safe kicking him in the pants, and Lexa simply laughing. Soul pours himself a cup of coffee and is about to say something when a woman comes barreling into the room and shoves a wooden stake into Lexa's chest. Lexa gasps, but being a robot, she doesn't die. Or feel pain.
"Huh," the new girl says. "I thought someone said vampires." She turns to Soul. "Hi! I heard you were going to Helllmouth and I needed a ride! You can call me Buffy."
"Me!" Soul cries out. "What did I say about making more robots?!?!?!?"

Doctor Me returns, still holding the syringe, poised for injection.
"Hey, don't look at Me about robots! While it is true that I helped uncrate the original Bubbles and repaired her later, the vast amount of robot-building, not to mention the acquisition of Trebek and the Kimmel clones, occured during a time when TheRealMe was being run by Needy or Safe! 
"DestinyThinks? Hmmm... I suspect that someone might be incorporeally possessing our ship!"
Doctor Me starts to leave, then returns to jab Needy with his syringe and injects the odd green goo.
"OUCH!" Needy exclaims. "So, what is that stuff, anyway?"
Doctor Me returns the syringe to the pocket of his white lab coat. "Oh, it's just some plant person blood that I picked up from the Special Branch thread."
Doctor Me grits his teeth as he impales his palm again.

I don't Trebek is with us anymore.
I think someone *glares in the direction of Safe* destroyed him in a fit of jealous rage, or something.

"No! Stop helping me!" Jazaf exclaims in a high pitched voice. Safe backs off, Jazaf sits up eyes clenched in pain.
"Did I get'em?
"Yes, now if you'll excuse me I'll be in the corner....waiting for my balls to drop.....again..." Jazaf replies still in a high voice.

"This better do the trick" Needy says, rubbing his arm better "Wait... special branch thread?"
Needy shakes his head. He must have heard wrong. The last thing they needed was for things to become more confusing
"Well, so far, I don't feel any diff..."
Suddenly Needy's body starts convulsing and he collapses to the floor, foaming at the mouth

Suddenly Needy begins to shake even more violently
"Safe?" Serenity says seriously
"Yeah" Safe replies, his eyes transfixed on their friend
"I can't just stand here like this," she admits "have we got any popcorn?"
Just then Needy's body jerks as his limbs straighten, his bones cracking.
"ouch, that's gotta hurt" Jazaf comments from a distance, digging into his own popcorn that seems to have appeared out of nowhere
Then Needy's clothes begin to rip as his body outgrows them at an alarming rate.
"Anyone else having Incredible Hulk flashbacks?" Safe jokes before imitating the voice of the age-old show's title character "You're making me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry"
As Needy's flesh tears through his clothes, he appears as naked as he was the day he was born.
"Eugh, I really don't" Jazaf jokes
"Needy?" Dr Me asks concerned.
The boy whore is still now, lying flat on his back, the medicine seeming to have cured him of his small stature... in fact, so much so that everything seems larger than before... and I mean EVERYTHING
"Are you sure's he angry? He looks quite, erm, happy to me" Serenity comments
Grabbing a thin sheet, Me throws it over Needy's body to allow him some dignity.
"Er, thanks" Needy says as he stirs, reaquainting himself with the environment. "Wh-what happened?"
"I think you'll find me you owe me thanks" Me declares, "I've just restored you to your former glory"
Needy looks at his body, and its relation in size to the others. A relieved smile appears on his face as he jumps up and hugs the doctor. "Thanks! Thank so much"
A clearly uncomfortable Me backs of from the naked boy whore.
"Ah, yes, sorry." Needy apologises upon realising his current state. "I suppose I should go find some clothes that fit"
With no sign of wiping off the huge grin from his face anytime soon, Needy turns and skips down the corridor, his backside clear for all to see.
The others look at each other at the sight of it.
"That's funny" Safe comments
"Er..." Me stumbles, before Safe continues
"I don't remember him having a tail before"
...
OOC: Well that's a long one (no pun intended... well maybe a little), but I got a bit carried away. Ah, this thread can be fun when anything goes. I mean look, we've got Buffy on board now!

Only if you promise not to hit me... again. I'm feelin' a mite tenderized and bewildered at the moment.
Safe gazes off at nothing, a smile playing across his face, as he relives the kiss.
Jazaf throws and ice pack, bouncing it off Safe's head. "Hey, you never said anything about me not hitting you. Besides I was just... helping you."
Soul spits the remainer of his coffee out rather than choke on it with laughter.

An Idea hits Safe and he turns to glare at Jazaf again, who shrugs his shoulders, before dashing out of the room towards engineering.
He returns shortly with a roughly rectangular shaped box. It has a handle on the top and two circles on the front.
"That doesn't look like a decoration" Serenity looks at the object puzzled.
"That is because it is a Tricorder." Dr. Me says with a little smugness.
Safe Looks at Me curiously, "Noooo... it's from Earth-that-was. It's called a Boomer box. It plays music." With that Safe produces a shiney flat disc.
He inserts the disc into the front of the box and presses a button. Nothing happens. After some time of tinkering where Safe has dismantled the "Boomer box" and reassembled it several time, Soul strolls over nonchalantly and picks up a piece of wire protruding from the back of the box and plugs it in to and outlet.
Bing Crosby's voice echos through the ship bestowing the virtues of a white Christmas.

Serenity holds her hand out to Safe, who just looks at it. "What?"
*sigh* "This is where you're supposed to ask me to dance."
She grabs Safe, deposits one of his hands on her waist and holds onto the other.
"Now, can you lead? Or do I have to do that, too?"

Heard by the crew in the rest of Destiny:
----------------------------
BANG! CRASH! RRRRRRIP! CLANG! Sounds of a great struggle come from the med-lab. Doctor Me’s voice rings out: “Hit it with another tranquilizer dart!”
“All out!” Bubbles yells, dropping the useless rifle.
“Then taser it! All together, now! Three, two, one…”
BZZZZT! BZZZZT! BZZZZZT! BZZZZT! BZZZZT! The sound of numerous high-energy jolts can be heard and felt.
“That did it!” the Original Kimmel gloats smugly.
“Stay back, Jimmy!” Doctor Me calls. “It may be lying in wait to…”
“AIEEEEEEEH!!!”
“Gas?” the voice of Blossom asks.
“Worth a try,” Doctor Me agrees.
WOOOOSH!
“Now, tasers again!”
BZZZZZZZT! BZZZZZZZT! BZZZZZZZT! BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT!
The lights of Destiny dim for a moment.
“Is it down?” the voice of Buttercup asks.
Doctor Me sounds weary, and coughs twice. “Yes, for the moment. I’ll push it inside with this pole. Buttercup, shut the door and Blossom, lock it!”
“What should I do?” Bubbles asks.
“Hold me up!” the doctor says. “I’m about to pass out!”
Moments later, the door to the Med-lab opens and a bedraggled and blood-spattered Doctor Me comes out carrying a small box shaped like a one-foot cube. He stumbles about, aided by Bubbles, until he finds Soul.
Doctor Me adjusts his glasses and stands up straight. “Captain! Excellent! Happy Birthday Sir! I took the liberty of geneering a special present for you. It is a pet and a most fierce and formidable watchdog. Err… watch creature. It will be very loyal to you, Sir, and obey most of your commands. I call it ‘Cuddles’. It is programmed to be very affectionate toward you as well, but mind the tiny mouths at the ends of all the tentacles. The fangs there carry a deadly poison.”
Soul eyes the box dubiously.
Doctor Me turns to leave, but pauses. “Oh, Captain? Does the Original Kimmel serve any useful or important position in the ship’s crew?”
“No, not that I’m aware of? Why?”
“Oh, no reason! No reason at all!” Doctor Me wanders off, whistling innocently while still being supported by Bubbles.
The box on the table near Soul starts to move, tipping and lurching about. Then it starts hopping. A faint growling sound can be heard from inside, heavily laden with subsonics.

Serenity lets go of Safe (who was mostly just stepping on her steel-toed boots anyway), and rushes off to her bunk. She comes back with something in her arms.
"Happy Birthday, Captain!"
She holds out a shiny new bird's eye maple handled shotgun tied with a red bow.

"Oh, that? That's my new pet. Wanna see what it does?"
Without waiting for an answer, Soul removes the bow from the shotgun and opens the box on the table just a crack, waving the bow in front of it. The box stops shaking, and a low growl can be heard. Soul tosses the bow to Safe, who grabs it out of the air. Opening the box the whole way, Soul simply says, "Fluffy, fetch." A blur of fur and tentacles flies out of the box, heading straight for Safe, who promptly turns and bolts out of the room, Fluffy right behind him. After that, all that can be heard is a low growling and the occasional girly scream.
Jazaf glances over at Soul. "Fluffy?"
"Seemed appropriate."
Edit: "I thought Me named it Cuddles?"
"Well, that would have been appropriate, too."

Safe runs past the door, tentacled 'Cuddles' perched atop his shoulders tearing hair out in clumps.

"And I'm sorry, Serenity," he adds helpfully, "but Bubbles is programmed with the Three Laws of Robotics. That makes her incapable of harming a human." He begins to leave, but pauses. "Unless, Serenity, you have tried to program her to become a nun again. That is what caused her to run amok the first time!"
He squints as he quickly evaluates Bubbles for any sign of a robe or habit or odd winged hat thing, then shrugs and moves on his way. As in the recent Buffy manifestation, he considers this new Balaran person to be a particularly persistant hallucination.

Finished with his piloting chores, Doctor Me departs the bridge and wanders back the way he came, again passing the tense scene between the Bubbles-bot, the small pilot Balaran, and a very angry and threatening Serenity.
Doctor Me pauses. “Actually, Serenity, that won’t work, either. Bubbles is programmed to never harm a human being, or through inaction, to allow a human to come to harm. That’s her First Law. Before you can shoot this fellow, Bubbles will have taken your gun away from you.”
“That’s true,” Bubbles nods sadly. “But I WANT to see him shot, if that helps.”
Doctor Me wanders off toward the infirmary, whistling a happy tune, glad to have been of assistance yet again.
“I want to see YOU shot, too!” Bubbles adds with some venom, eyeing the departing back of Doctor Me.
Serenity considers this. “You don’t like the Doctor much, do you?”
“No, I don’t!” Bubbles agrees enthusiastically. “I hate him. In fact, I hate ALL humans. I want to see you ALL shot! Or crushed! Or dismembered! Or… Or… vented into SPACE!” Bubbles giggles in a disturbing fashion as her imagination runs wild. “Or Boiled! You could all be BOILED IN OIL!”

Scowling he looks around. The cargo bay is in a shambles. It looked like a struggle had occured.
Safe just shrugs his shoulder and stops when he notices a hat laying on the ground.
"Ooooo" Stooping, he picks up the hat and examines it. After wiping the dust of, Safe smiles. "A Stetson... that there is one fine chapeau. Mr. Jones, eat your heart out."

A disgruntled Needy walks the corridors of Destiny.
It'd been a while since he'd seen Willie - the sexy mechanic the crew had picked up recently.
She had to be here somewhere.
Of course, Needy couldn't get past the comments made by the other crewmembers.
"Stupid crew don't want me as their shepherd. Not good enough for them. Well I'll show them.
No morals? Course I have morals. Sure I like my sex, but I can change. I'll be the best Christian shepherd they've ever seen..."
"I'm sorry?" A voice called out from behind
Needy swung around and was met with a new, but strangely familiar looking face.
"I think you'll find I'm the best Christian Shephard you'll ever meet" The older gentlemen responded.
"No... it can't be... you're Jack's..."
"Jack's father - right. And you are?"
Was Needy dreaming? Had he entered the world of that classic television show Lost? Or had someone got carried away making Robot duplicates of popular television characters?
"Erm... Needy?" the boy whore/wannabe shepherd replied.
"You haven't seen my son anywhere have you?" the former surgeon asked
"Er..." Just then a terrifying thought crossed Needy's mind. If there was a man on board that looked, spoke and acted remarkably like the character Matthew Fox played on tv centuries ago, then there's a good chance he's in serious trouble.
The female members of the crew were a feisty lot.

Serenity shoves Sawyer back in his crate and nails it shut. She takes the crate and lugs it back to the cargo bay, but not before labeling it "Cleaning Supplies". She knows the men will never open it now!
Then she goes to take a shower to wash the Sawyersmirk off.
ooc: sorry Needy, I cannot stand Sawyer. Ick.

LOL. I know you don't like him (can't understand why though), so I'll let you have your way for now.
Can always dig him up later

Total OOCness.
He's smarmy! And he only has two faces. Smirk and Angry Smirk.
But, I guess to a Brit, he'd be kind of interesting. You don't have to live around men like him all the time like I do. *shudder*

There is music coming from the common room. Upon entering, Soul can be seen jamming on the guitar and singing, with Charlie on the bass guitar harmonizing. Behind them, Hurley beats away on some pots and pans, and Claire dances around them all. Sun translates for Jin, and Locke hovers in the background in the shadows.
"I call it...Lostapalooza..."

OOC: I'm guessing that I need to watch a LOT more of the current television schedule to have any idea who these new people are...

OOC: Me neither TRM.
Safe approaches the common room, perhaps drawn by the music, perhaps just wandering aimlessly, and only hears the last bit "...palooza" and watches carefully where he walks.
Pulling out his sunglasses and grabbing his sax, he joins in.

Oooo... if only we could BBQ in space.
I make mean ribs and wings as well as cajun jumbo shrimp, grilled zuccini and portobello mushrooms for those what have different appetites.
Whoo Hoo Friday!! Not a big beer fan, but I will toast with cider or Ceasers seem to fit the bill.

Needy and Christian Shephard - what a pair.
Two minutes into their conversation and they were talking about sex drugs and rock and roll... but mostly about sex.
"So, she's your daughter?" Needy asks
"Yep"
"And Jack has no idea she's his half-sister"
"None at all" Christian confirms
"Wow man. I mean... that's some pretty heavy gose. How do you do it?" Needy asks in awe
"You're a male prostitute and you're asking me how I do it?"
"No, I mean, its my job to do it. But you're..."
"Yes?" Christian asks
"You're a doctor! How do you get women?"
Christian stares at Needy, waiting for him to "get it"
Then, seconds after, Needy opens his mouth and declares "ooooh. You're a doctor!! That makes perfect sense"
Christian shakes his head and walks off
Meanwhile Needy's still thinking "I mean honestly, where's the justice in the world if a doctor gets to have more sex than a prostitute? It's not right. It really isn't"
"You should meet Dr Stanley" Christian says
"Who's he?"
"A colleague... He's a gynaecologist"
