Location: Mess Hall
Ellie was passing through the mess hall when Fiona caught attention. She shot a glance at Kistune, who was doing something in the kitchen which left the air so thick with spices that her eyes were beginning to burn. But she decided to ignore it since the food smelled so delicious. "Oh yeah, your fee..." Ellie stood thoughtful for a minute and then shook her head, "I'll tell you what, you get the ride to Greenleaf for free. After that if you stay on we'll talk about your fare." Ellie hated to admit it, but she had a soft spot for kids. It was probably why she had taken to Timmy, well aside from the fact he was a genius in the engine room of course. She still thought this girl was as weird as they came, but there was something vulnerable about her, it drew out the unfulfilled mother side from Ellie. "Deal?" she asked Fiona.
A call came from the bridge, "Cap'n, we're coming up on the other freighter, you want to join me up here?" Ellie patted Fiona on the shoulder and headed up to the cockpit to see through the docking process. Once the other ship had docked, she made her way back down to let their guest in. Passing once more through the mess hall she said to Kitsune, "we've got company. Bring a gun and meet me down there. No use taking any chances." She flashed a wink and a grin at Fiona, "Guess it's a good thing he just made all that food, eh?"

Location - Mess hall sure thing ma'am he headed off down to his room.
Once in his room he grabbed his belts and strappped them on, then his modle 608's and then his 4510. quickly he checked him self over, his outfit was the same full body armor cause he wasnt a moron three weapons. "Perhaps a smoke grenade or a flash bang....yea a flash bang" picking up the grenade and putting it on his hip. "there that feels right" smiling he stepped out the door and joined the captain in the cargo bay and awaited the air lock doors to open.

"Far too much pepper," Fiona informed the captain. "He's an all right cook, but he's heavy-handed on the spices."
She tried to catch the action as everyone whirled through the galley. "What's...? Where's...?"
She scrambled out of her seat and ran after the captain and the cook, eager to find out just what sort of events transpired on her father's very favorite type of ship.

Location: Docking Bay
Ellie approached the hatch cautiously and gave a quick nod to Kitsune and Teddy, indicating she wanted Teddy to stand out of sight beside the hatch door and with another nod she indicated to Kistune she wanted him behind her but in sight. Hopefully seeing them armed might dissuade them from doing anything stupid. Perhaps it was a bit paranoid of her, but she wanted to be sure to cover all the bases. Stepping up to the small, dirty window, Ellie peered into the other ship. There were two men there. One she recognized as the captain she had spoken to earlier, the second had a duffel slung over his shoulder. She stood back and swept a glance over the guys, "Here we go."
She unlatched it and pulled it open, and stood in the door frame. "Welcome to Jenny Wren, Captain Gilbert."
He smiled and held his hand out for her to shake, "Captain McKee, can't thank you enough for lendin' a hand. And call me Silas."
Ellie flashed a warm smile and gave his hand a firm shake, "Don't mention it, Silas. I'd want someone to do the same if the tables were turned." She looked now to the lanky man standing beside him, "Is this our passenger?"
Silas nodded, "Aye, this is Lewis. He's my mechanic, he can take care of getting the part if you can get him to Santo."
"We can do that, and should be able to be back before your life support runs out."
The other captain nodded again and looking between Lewis and Ellie he said, "Then I guess we shouldn't waste any more time. Air is precious and I am partial to breathing."
So Ellie allowed Lewis inside and latched the door behind him, leaving Captain Gilbert looking on from the other side.
Turning now she introduced their new guest to the boys, "Lewis, this is Kistune and Teddy," she grinned at the guys, still with their guns pointed at him, "I think we can stand now boys."
For the first time Ellie realized Fiona was standing there. If she had realized it sooner she would not have let the girl stay. If it had gone south she might have gotten injured. "And this is a passenger of ours..." she didn't see the usefulness in a stranger knowing about her other passengers and so instead she spoke to Fiona, "Well girl, had enough excitement for an evening?"
She grinned as a thought crossed her mind, "How do you feel about a game of cards?" Glancing around she went on, "In fact, how do you all feel about a game of cards?"
Crossing the cargo hold she hit the comm to the cockpit, "Jane, release the docking clamps and take us to Santo by the quickest most direct route. Make sure to let me know when you here from ground control."
Turning back to the others she gave a quick head jerk towards the stairs, "I think Mr. Kitsune cooked us some grub already, and I can get the cards out. That is... if you all think you can stand being beat by a woman." She grinned and winked at Fiona.
"Lewis, You can have the third room on the right. Make yourself at home, and then meet us upstairs in the Galley for some fun."
So saying, Ellie led the way back upstairs.

Fiona grinned. Cards! She had a wide variety of card games spooled up in her memory banks, almost simply endless in their names and rules. "What do you play?" she asked the captain in her odd voice. "Ba Shi Fen? Bagchen? Bu Bu Gao Sheng? Carousel? Dealer's Choice? Irish Don? Fan Tan? French Dominoes? Gob Dum Gob Dang? One-Eyed Jack? Jass? Klootzakken? I simply adore Klootzakken!"
Her eyes shone brightly as she tucked her hair behind her ears. "And I'm really, really good at Telesina, but... sometimes I cheat because my father taught me to play and he used to gamble. But that's probably more than you needed to know. As usual."

Location: Mess Hall/Lounge Ellie blinked at Fiona's apparent love of cards and then asked with a chuckle, "Why do I have the feeling I am about to be beat by a teenager?" Shooting Kitsune a "you wish" look, Ellie retrieved some cards and the group settled down at the table to pass some of the time. She noted that their guest didn't seem too interested in joining in the game she called to her young mechanic, "Timmy! How about you give our new friend a tour of Jenny, eh? Show off your baby for him." at least it gave Timmy something to do that might keep him out of trouble for a while... Location: Mess Hall/Lounge OOC: I realize I have been seriously absent in the last few months, my life has undergone some considerable change and will not fully settle down until the fall. However, I no longer want to neglect my writing here. So I posted this short bit here to stir a bit of activity while I prepare a longer post this weekend to move the storyline forward. From now until Sunday night you can write about how your character spends the evening, if you want to write about paying cards, or doing something else, the sky is the limit. Enjoy yourself, because the story is about to get a bit more... Interesting. thanks for sticking with me guys!

Dragonfly Action Moving the story line forward two days, Jenny Wren is en route to Santo to get the catalyzer that the drifting freighter needs. Jane leans back in her pilot seat, staring out into the black of space, idly spinning the chair. She checks the readings once again, there had been an Alliance cruiser they passed near to earlier in the night, but now it was nearly 400 hours and no sign of anyone else and it would be another twenty six hours to Santo. As she looked over the readings however she saw that in about forty five minutes they would need to pass through and asteroid belt, which was going to require some maneuvering. Ellie would need to be alerted before they entered, but Jane figured for now she would let the Captain get some more sleep. A faint noise from behind caught her attention and just as she turned to look, a heavy piece of pipe crashed down against the side of her skull. The slight woman was a fighter, but she was no match and toppled over like a twig in a windstorm. Lewis set the pipe on the floor gently. Last thing he wanted to do was wake anyone else up. Pushing her limp body aside, he settled down in the pilot seat and set to work on locking all other control panels out, giving him sole control over Jenny. Then he set course directly for the asteroid belt. A beep on the console told him his partners were coming to meet them. Half an hour later the crew is wakened to the sound of another ship docking with Jenny Wren. And before anyone can get to the hold and try to keep them out, a crew of seven men has entered the ship, all heavily armed. The man in charge, a short and stout man with black hair that is starting to gray and a few nasty looking scars on his face and neck motions to two of his men and orders quietly, "Cale and Brock, you two cover the upstairs corridor. Jones and Mike, you guys take the downstairs quarters corridor. Make sure anyone who wakes up is kept in their rooms. Shoot them if they get fussy about it." He turned with a smile to look over the cargo hold and said to the two remaining men, "The three of us will search this hold until we locate where they hid their cargo. It'll still need to delivered, the people on Greenleaf won't be too fussy about who brings it to them. Let's move people!" With that, the group split up to carry out their various tasks. OOC: Let the fun begin Jenny Wren crew!

Location: Captain's Quarters
Ellie had been sleeping heavy, but even in her sleep, the sounds of metal scraping against metal as their uninvited visitors docked with Jenny Wren woke her up. She sat up in confusion, and throwing off her sheets she ran out into the corridor, overlooking the fact she was in her sleeping clothes which consisted of some comfortable flannel shorts and a tank top. She turned toward the cockpit and blinked in surprise. Jane almost always kept the door open yet now it was closed. She hurried over and tugged on the handle, finding to her dismay that it didn't budge. Ellie peered in through the tiny window and what she saw made a feeling of dread knot up her stomach. Lewis back faced her as he sat at the controls of the ship and on the floor she could see Jane laying in pool of blood. Ellie banged on the door,"Lewis you guay toh guay nown, open this ruttin' door RIGHT NOW!"
The sound of a gun cocking behind her brought her about and she found herself looking at two large men, both pointing their guns at her. Ellie crossed her arms and said, "Don't recall givin' you boy s an invitation to breakfast. Mind tellin' me what the hell you are doing on my ship?"
"Well, well, got a pretty little captain on our hands now don't we Brock?" the man with long blonde hair that seemed like it could use a good washing leered at her. Brock snickered from behind Cale and Ellie shot him a glare. Cale went on, "No worries gorgeous, once we take the goodies off your hands, we'll leave your little ship. Now I recommend you head into your bunk." She eyed them both for a moment and decided this might not be a bad idea. At least it would give her time to think...
As she headed back into her quarters Cale called after her, "And if you're lucky I might be in after a bit to join you!"
"I'll cut your ruttin' ji ba off if you even try," she muttered under her breath.

Kitsune's Quarters
Kitsune was asleep on his bed, naked, as he usually does, his faced being supported up up above his body by a pillow, his mouth open with a large flow of drool streaming onto his arms. the faint sound of a body hitting the floor woke him up with a start. However as soon as his conscious mind was back in control his body firmly reminded him why three day old Chinese pepper stake was more brutal then the first. "OH GOD" jumping up and kicking the wall to release the toilet which he immediately sat down on. doing so alerted him to a new and more horrifying problem. "Oh this is ganna hurt how am i ganna pass such a behemoth."
as if the universe loved answering his questions in a humorous way a large man slid open his door which tragically looked strait at the toilet.
Startled by the man threw his hands up. "Well I need not worry how to pass it now it just kinda happened"
the man was pointing a gun at him with one hand and he had a pair of bola balls in his other. .
Kitsune looked at the odd choice of weapon having tested the use fullness of them before.not a very practical modern entangling weapon to have "Question do those work for you"
The man looked at him quickly then saw were he was looking "Na not really I cant get the balls to do what i want when i need them too, do you know how to make them work?" seeing the decor in kitsunes room and figuring him for a weapons man.
With out missing a beat kitsune interrupted "Did you try working the shaft"
"Oh i see what you did there, I guess I walked right into that one. I guess your ganna be difficult"
"Well probably" kitsune replied with a look of arrogant delight on his face.
"Guess Were ganna have to keep an eye on you then, get up and get into the cargo bay"
"Um can i get dressed first" whipping himself
"shoulda thought of that before you became a smart ass" motioning with his gun to move
"Alright alright standing strait up hands over his head."
"Yea that's.. MY GOD WHAT IS THAT"
"Been so long sense you seen yours you forgot what one looks like has it"
unable to speak he was so mad he kicked kitsune in the back down the corridor were he was meet by another armed man.
"WOW WHAT THE HELL MAN! why are you naked, Why is he naked"jones said to mike
"Your friend back there wouldn't let me get dressed and forced me to come out here" kitsune answered
"He was being difficult" mike said as he began to look into the room across from kitsunes
"Were you now" jones asked kitsune
"He asked how to work his balls"
"Did you tell him to work the shaft"
"Yes."
"Nice" giving kitsune a high five
"I know right, See i wasn't being difficult just honest"
smiling jones nodded his head back to kitsunes room "Get back in there and take your pet iguana with you before it bites someone."
"Thanks" with a slight chuckle
"What the hell" mike shouted at jones
"Boss said lock them in their room and besides i don't want to watch over a naked man do you?"

Fiona didn't hear the intruders, but she sure as shootin' felt the vibrations when their ship docked against the Dragonfly.
She jerked upright and reached over to the bedside console for her processors. With a quiet snap the magnets attached to the implanted electrodes inside her skull, and with another quick click she flicked on the amplifier and the processors, attaching the amplifier to the neck of her pajama top.
Unsure of what was going on, she crept quietly to the door and slid it open gently, slowly, sticking her head out into the hallway. "Hello?"
Her deaf girl's voice rang across the corridor, awkward like a wildebeest on a dance floor.

Location: Lower deck passenger corridor
Mike looked up in confusion at the strange sounding voice hollering down the hall. He was only a mere four feet from her door when she came out but she was facing the other direction, so he quickly covered the distance and grabbed her by the arm to spin her around and look at her. A little girl? She couldn't even be legal yet, what was she doing on this bucket of bolts? He glanced at Kitsune's room, recalling all the weapons the man had in there. Jones had been stupid to send that one back in his quarters. Maybe this girl was the solution to the naked man problem. He smirked and gripped Fiona's arm tighter and pulled her close to him, pointing the gun at her as he said, "Looks like I just found me the perfect hostage!"
Meanwhile in the cargo hold, general chaos was ensuing. The three men were ripping it apart, searching every cubby and hidden compartment they could find. If Timmy could see them now, he would have a seizure. Finally their leader yelled for them to stop. He jerked his head towards the stairs, "I'm tired of wasting my time, bring me the captain."

Fiona looked up at the man grabbing her by the arm. "Let go!" she shouted as someone yelled something about finding the captain.
She tried to jerk away from her attacker, and when that didn't work, she stomped, hard, on his foot, grateful that she'd fallen asleep with her shoes on. "Let go!" she repeated.
