(Elbarto sits in the corner of the cargo bay watching the men unload the water. He pulls out a knife and starts picking his fingernail with it.)
(El thinking) I don't expect these boys to give us any trouble, you never know. What were those two things on the last mission. They seemed to be from the same branch as Oreo but more developed. I guess the Alliance are perfecting their pets.
When you can't run you crawl. When you can't do that...well...you know the rest.

Ravenwood shakes hands with the captian and then turns and walks over to shinyfrye
Ravenwood- so, are you and the big guy over there...
Shinyfrye- Are we what?
Ravenwood- Are you, you know....Together?
Shinyfrye gives Ravenwood a fierce glance
Shinyfrye- Not that its any of you're business but, no, least i dont think so....its complicated.
Ravenwood- I just figured, since he was so quick to interupt, i just figured you two were an item.
ShinyFrye- Well, like i said, I don't know.
Shinyfrye folds her arms and walks away, looking at Oreo who is standing next to El.
Shinyfrye- I wish i knew...

(oreo quickly objects to El comment)
So, i'm nothing more then a pet now, am I?
(El stops and looks up at oreo and begins to stammer over his words)
No....no...thats not what i meant, least not about you. I'm talking about Echo one and two. You got to admit, they kicked your butt across the complex and back.
(Oreo whince's at the thought)
Yeah, well, a good fighter dosen't become great, unless he loses a few fights. You should know that, or did your sensi not teach you that HotHead.
(El, turns away from oreo, muttering under his breathe. Oreo, suddenly looks up and sees shiny walking. He pats El and the shoulder and then take off to catch up with shiny)
Hey! Shiny! Wait up!
(Shiny stops and turns)
Hey oreo, whats going on?
(Oreo tilts his head and smiles at shiny)
Captian, told to tell you that next time i saw you, to ask you if you could do a sweep and a check of the engine. Said 02 mentioned something about the ships handling being off or something.
(Shiny, suddenly happy to hear something needs to be done that didn't have to do with guns, recues and such, gives Oreo a big smile)
Sure no Problem. I haven't had a real chance to check my girl out, given the situation we've been in as of late.
(oreo, chuckles and shiny lightly punches Oreo in the shoulder)
What?
(Oreo still chuckling)
You. You're like a kid in a candy store when it comes to that ship and her engine.
(shiny slightly embarrassed)
Well, its what im really good at
(Oreo, places his hand behind shiny's head and leans over and kisses her on the forehead)
you're not just good, you're great. Don't sell yourself short Eh.
(oreo turns and walks back over to El. Shiny, still happy, lost in the moment, snaps back and makes her her to the engine room.)
Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.

Shiny in the engine room, is bent over the engine humming a tune. Ravenwood is standing in the doorway watching Shiny.
Ravenwood: "So your the ships mechanic?"
Startled Shiny stands up and Turns around.
Shiny: "Yup, Why do you look so surprised?"
Ravenwood: "I'm not, well maybe a little, It's just.. you dont see a girl mechanic too often".
Shiny smiles at ravenwood: "Is that a bad thing?"
Ravenwood walks over to shiny, standing close to her,He moves a piece of hair away from her eyes.
Ravenwood: "Not from where i'm standing, it's not."
nervously shiny looks at the engine,
" Well I should get back to fixing her, we dont want to crash or anything."
Ravenwood smiles: "No we dont want that.will I see you later Shiny?"
Shiny smiles and nods her head yes, she watches Ravenwood leave. Shiny takes a deep breath, grabs her wrench,smiling to herself leans over the engine and starts humming again.
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

(oreo runs into Ravenwood as he's leaving the engine room)
Find what you're looking for in there?
(ravenwood grins at oreo)
I don't know yet, there migth be ....large object in my way, that i might need to get rid of.
(A grim look comes over Oreos face)
Well, it seems to me, that you wouldn't be "Man" enough to move this large object, plus, i hear tale, this large object i think you're speaking about can be very stubborn.
(Ravenwood steps around Oreo and begins walking whiile talking over his shoulder)
Well, the more stubborn the better. I like a challenge.
(Oreo whips around and grabs Ravenwood)
You leave her alone. You know nothin bout her. You're just some drifter.
(Ravenwood grabs oreo the his hand and removes it from his arm)
I'm no drifter, i'm a thief and a thief steals what he wants.
(Oreo flashes his eyes towards Ravenwood. Changing them from Hazel to pure white and back again.Ravenwoods jaw drops)
Well, i'm the half breed. Half Reaver, half human and I'm a killer. That means, i kill who i want, dong ma?
(Ravenwood turns and walks away, leaving oreo standing alone outside the engine room. when Ravenwood is out of sight oreo silently peaks his head into the engine room and watches shiny working on the engines for a second then turns and leaves.)
Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.

Shiny tightens the last bolt, puts her wrench away, straightens her clothes and wipes her hair away from her face. She steps back, watches and listens to the engine.
She comms 02: "ok 02 she should be all set, she's nice and quit and running smoothly." ends comm.
Shiny walks to the cargo bay to see if Barron and his crew has finished loading the water. She see's everyone standing around talking.
She looks for Oreo but she dosent see him. She sits down on a crate and watches Ravenwood. The twins keep looking at shiny and talking.
she hears Oreos voice.
Oreo:" So your all done in the engine room?" he sits down next Shiny and looks in the direction she is looking.
Shiny: "Yup, all done."
Oreo: "So...What do you think about our new crewmate?"
Shiny Not realizing it, smiles: "He seems nice."
Shiny turns her attention to Oreo, He gives her a look, get up and walks away.
Shiny calls out: "Oreo!"
Oreo keeps walking.
upset Shiny starts thinking to herself. What's his problem, It's not he tells me how he feels. one minute he kisses me on the lips then next minute it's on the forehead. What am I supposed to think? Getting angry Shiny gets up to leave also.
She walks by the galley and see's Oreo sitting at the Table by himself, Shiny debates going in to talk to him, She stands there(thinking) He's so handsome, she go's to walk into the galley she feels a hand on her shoulder, It's Ravenwood.
RavenWood: "so Shiny, you feel like giving me the tour of the ship now?"
Oreo Looks up to see RavenWood standing next to shiny with his hand on her shoulder and shiny looking at ravenwood.
Shiny quickly looks at Oreo, Oreo gives Shiny a dirty look and walks over to them, Shiny Starts to say something but Oreo just walks between the two of them not saying a word and continues to walk down the hallway.
Shiny looks back at Ravenwood, not wanting to be rude says, "OK." Ravenwood walks over to the table and takes a napkin, walks back over to shiny and starts to wipe her cheek,
Ravenwood:"you have some grease on your face."
Shiny looks at Ravenwood thinking, (thats so sweet). "follow me I will show you the bridge and you can meet 02." On her way to the bridge Shiny see's Kat and smiles, Kat looks at shiny and smiles but when she see's Ravenwood the smile fades.
Kat: "Shiny would you mind helping me with a few things in the cargo bay?"
Shiny tells Ravenwood she will have to give the tour a little later and walks with Kat to the Cargo bay.
Kat: "Shiny not that it's any of my business
but be carful of Raven, we still dont know much about him, Besides you know how my brother feels about you and I thought you felt the same?"
Shiny:" Kat no, I don't know how Oreo feels, I dont think HE knows how he feels. All i know is Raven seems nice and I don't wanna be rude to him.
Kat frowns: " shiny have you Talked to Oreo?
Shiny: "I tried too, but you know Oreo."
The both of them walk into the cargo bay.
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

(Elbarto heads to the galley and sees Oreo sitting there alone)
(Elbarto thinking) Ahh.. what the hell. As much as i dislike what I'm about to do....
(Elbarto walks into the galley and sits across from Oreo)
El: Look Oreo, I know that you and me don't get along very well, but that's cuz we are both dominant people. But I think we're gonna have to work together this time. Echo 2 and Echo 3 can kill you if they work together and you know it. Hell, you got the bruises to prove it. And you also know that we are going to have to take the fight to them eventually. Your raw power and my skill can make short work of them. Besides, I still have my equipment from during the war.
(Oreo thinks about what El has said.)
Oreo: This is my fight.
El: I figured you would say that. Go ahead, fight your own war, but I know from personal experience that it wont end well for you.
(Elbarto gets up and walks out)
When you can't run you crawl. When you can't do that...well...you know the rest.

(Oreo sits and watches El leave. So many things on his mind. It had been along time since he'd been this angry, mainly because he was either drugged or beaten within inches of his life the past few months. But this was different, El was completely right, working alone didn't seem to be working out to much anymore, not like it used to anyways. He was mad about shiny, well not about shiny, more about him being to scared to tell her how he felt and now this drifter was making cheap sorry ass plays towards her. Oreo, head begins hurting, thinking rationally wasn't exactly his strong suit. Oreo reared his chair back on two legs, looking up at the ceiling, when suddenly his Kat walks in)
Here you, what are you doing in here all by your lonesome?
(oreo turns his attention from the ceiling to Kat)
Just thinking. actually, i'm trying to keep from thinking. it makes my head hurt.
(Kat chuckles)
you're thinking bout shiny, well i'll let you know, that she likes you alot, you mean alot to her, but you gotta show her.
(Oreo's face goes grim)
Yeah, like i'm real good at that.
(Kat rolls her eyes)
Yeah, i see what you mean. But if you don't act, soon her heart might find another.
(Oreo turns back to the ceiling)
well, we got this job to finish, hopefully that'll give me some time to try and think alittle harder bout all this.
(Kat stands up)
Do you ever think about mum or dad?
(The legs of Oreo's chair quickly fall back to the ground. A sudden sad look develop's)
I....I actually haven't been able to think about them. Not alot of good memories to think about, so, I try not to, i guess.
(Kat turns)
Yeah, me too. But at least you and I still have each other.
(kat leaves oreo still sitting)
Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.

Ravenwood is sitting in the food area, when Elbarto walks in. He stares at Ravenwood as he passes by.
Ravenwood- Is their a problem?
Elbarto- You know, you just have one of those face's.
Ravenwood- I asure you, we've never met before.
Elbarto- Humpf! Whatever. I noticed you and Oreo have been...less then favorable to each other. A word to the wise my friend. Oreo ain't someone you wanna mess with. The guy is a ticking time explosive just waiting for the right idiot to come along and push the trigger and set him off. If i were you, i wouldn't ruffle his feathers.
Ravenwood eyes Elbarto
Ravenwood- So, you're saying I should focus on someone...alittle weaker then Oreo, such as yourself. Is that what you're saying?
Elbarto turns around to ravenwood angry
Elbarto- I could take Oreo in my Sleep. I know every move that unpredictable bastard makes.
Ravenwood laughs under his breathe
Ravenwood- Well, if he is unpredictable, you can't possibly know his every move, now could you? Plus, from what i've seen, he's the strong guy on this ship, not you.I mean, he's a half breed and you're...you're just a cocky human.
Elbarto pulls out a gun and points it a Ravenwood
Ravenwood- you won't pull the trigger...
Elbarto- How do you figure, since you since to know everything?
Ravenwood- Cause, what would your captian say, when he find out you shot one of his crew?
Elbarto clutches his gun tighter. He knew what Ravenwood was saying was correct. Elbarto begins to lower his gun.
Elbarto- You better hope you piss off Oreo first and he finishes you, cause i know he'll do you quick.
Ravenwood- Oh yeah? what would you do to me?
Elbarto- It will be very slow. what i do to you, will make what Oreo has been through look like a cake walk.
Elbarto puts his gun away and leaves
Ravenwood- Oh, it will be so easy to manipulate this crew.
Ravenwood begins laughing to himself
