TheRealMe stands very still as he stares down the barrel of BC07's gun. His eyes narrow as he considers his options, gripping the pool cue tightly in one hand. He decides that talking has the best chance of the fewest injuries. Mostly likely, only he will get shot.
"Like you, BrownCoat2007, I don't know what just happened here. But I think that I recognize that large naked man as a monsterslayer that I have met in my travels. I don't know where Bluefishie is, but if you get that weapon out of my face I can try to locate her with my com-link.
"Are you always like this in a danger situation? Would you have drawn a weapon on Bluefishie if she had run up and surprised you? Maybe shot her if she didn't answer fast enough?"
TheRealMe takes a step back and to one side.
"Do I need to worry about you as well as our enemy? Are you more dangerous to us than the Reaver?"
TheRealMe, Captain of the Sereni-Tree

*is still wandering around, continuing the line that traces from the pool room to the winding corridors of the 'tree*
"Wonder what the boom was?"

"Seryn?"
Scorpion Regent
Getting no response SR shuts down the shuttle's engines. He decides a different approach is warranted. He toggglesd up his commlink again and sends a V-mail.
"SR to Serenity, you are most likely aware there is a potential peril situation. Femalereaver has escaped Cryo and is loose on the ship. I am concerned for the safety of Seryn and her child. I know you two are close, If you know where they are give me a call and let me know. I'm heading to the common room from the shuttle bay and if I don't find her there I'll check her quarters. In the mean time keep yourself and Sera safe."
SR departs the Napoleon locking the door behind him, draws his cutlass and makes his way toward the common room.

starts to shake and breath heavily... and then falls to the ground... He starts to speak as his eyes revert to normal
"Sir... I'm sorry... I don't know whats wrong, this is the first time I haven't been able to find... well... ANYTHING with my sense in that state... its scareing me, and I'm worried about Fishie, shes a real nice girl, seems pretty innocent, and I don't know how well she'd be able to defend herself against one of those... THINGS..."
starts shaking uncontrollably
"I... I think I should leave your ship, your right, what would I have done had it been Fishie? I could have killed her... what the hell is wrong with me... I useually controll that side fairly well, can distinguish friend from foe... and potential threats... something about this situation is messing with me..."

During the tense situation between BC07, SoulofSerenity, the large naked man, and TheRealMe, a Diagnostic Repair Drone rolls over and begins to scrub away at a nearby bulkhead in order to clean up the mark made by Bluefishie.
OOC: Sorry, Citizen, I can't answer you just yet, but I'll be glad to help in a minute. Got a situation here!

TheRealMe looks past BC07 to where Soul had almost gotten himself into position. The two men shrug at each other.
TheRealMe then sticks the pool cue under his left arm and pulls out his com-link. "Computer, locate Bluefishie."
"Bluefishie is aimlessly wandering in a maze of twisting, winding passageways, all alike."
"See, everything is normal with her," he assures BC07.

As TheRealMe finishes, the entire ship shudders. TheRealMe pulls out his com-link. "Bride4! What just happened?"
Jet's voice answers through the link: "We just jumped to hyperspace, silly."
TheRealMe is concerned. "Why? On what course? Who gave the order?"
Jet sounds concerned. "Why, YOU did... didn't you? The command was input from the Bridge. It had all the correct authentication codes, so..."
"Soul, with me to the Bridge. But leave a few guards here."
TheRealMe and Soul lead some secturity deputies out of the briefing room, up a few flights of stairs, and around the upper balcony to the Bridge entrance. With weapons ready, they open the door and rush in.
Quincey lies in the middle of the deck in a pool of blood, unmoving.
"Check her! Be wary!" TheRealMe calls as he makes his way to a control station. TheRealMe taps furiously at the control panel.
"She's alive," Soul reports. "I'll have her carried to Sickbay. What course did FemaleReaver put us on?"
"Can't tell. She input the course, activated the Jump Drive, then erased the data record."
"That's bad!"
"It's worse. I can't fold space inside of hyperspace. Too many folds. I won't be able to open a portal to wherever she is. And we can't exit the ship or alter course or drop out of hyperspace until we reach this unknown destination."
TheRealMe, Captain of the Sereni-Tree
As Sr makes his way to the common room he feels the Tree go Hyper.
"SR to Jet did we just go into jump?"
"Yeah Warren, you're still here? I thought it was Me, but apparently it was some one else."
"Yeah I realized that I couldn't leave you guys with all the peril. That's right, Me would never have jumped, because he knew I was leaving for a three day trip to Zanzibar and had no plans to take the Tree anywhere. Keep the door to engineering locked, Jet we can't afford to have femalereaver deciding to start running the engines without reactor containment."
SR toggles up TRM on his com-link
"SR to TRM, did we just jump to hperspace?"
"Yes, femalereaver knocked Quicy out cold and set a course, but we don't know where to."
SR felt his heart pause and all his blood turn to liquid oxygen.
"I do,"
"Where?"
"What does a single reaver do once it has a whole ship full of people? Bring home the bacon. She's taking us to what she considers to be home, though for us it may be the ninth gate of hell."

"I'm off, next stop, if that is what you want... I really don't know what is.... wait a second..."
ponders
"Oh damn, I KNEW this would be a problem, you know how you told us that the FemaleReaver could "turn" people? Well, she does it through mental interferance, and some form of... pheramone or something... throws off the scent and its damn hard to track with residual body heat, especially in a crowded ship like this... gorram it... I should have KNOWN something would have happened..."
subsides into unintelegible mutterings, the occasional understandable words being "I'm such a ruttin' fool" and "damn hun dan" that BC is muttering about himself. The more angry he gets with himself, the more angry he gets towards the threat that the Reaver is posing to the crew, both through his own... change, and her being a Reaver and his eyes begin to change again
"Well... now that I know WHATS going wrong, lets see what I can do about the WHO that is causing the wrong"
BC stands up with a feral grin, sending chills down the spines of ever member present
"I can track that pheramone..."
Draws his blades and starts to stand

TheRealMe looks concerned. "Ah, look BrownCoat2007... We can't have you going all berserker on us. What can we do to help you?"
