It has been two long months since events on board the IAV Ziggurat. Now it's just called The Fall. Having survived the chaos of Verbena and making it off world alive, Ian Dugan and Tobias Hawke find themselves staring up at the night sky of the planet Ghost, a nearby gas giant, the aptly named Zeus, sat lazily on the horizon. Things had gotten rather messy in the Kalidasa sector of late, and the small planet was now being used to dispose of the various remains. The air stank of death, a scent the pair were all too familiar with now. It shouldn't be long now... Roughly 300 miles above, the Glory slowly dipped into the planets orbit and began their descent. Captain Becker stood on the bridge, trying to catch a glimpse through the think clouds below. Having spent weeks trying to locate Ian, break the blockade somehow and rescue them, but with no luck. Just as he was about to give up, a coded Cortex message bounced to the ship, with only a set of co-ordinates. He hoped it wasn't a trap, Niska just rubbing it in, but something felt right this time, like maybe this could be for real.... |

Out of the corner of her mouth, Karyn commented back to Sonya, "Good to know. Maybe I should get a read on his feelings about Ex-Alliance fighter jocks." As the hulking troll left for the engine room, she relaxed perceptibly and faced the other woman. "I hope he has a gentle touch with the more delicate of those fixtures down there. Doesn't look like he has full use of both arms. Other than for dismemberment, that is." She scooped up a dollop of potatoes and filled her mouth before continuing. "I'm not that familiar with the other chaps on board, other than Ian and Mike. Who else do you know and can trust?" |

Karyn commented back to Sonya, "Good to know. Maybe I should get a read on his feelings about Ex-Alliance fighter jocks." As the hulking troll left for the engine room, she relaxed perceptibly and faced the other woman. "I hope he has a gentle touch with the more delicate of those fixtures down there." "Oh he does..." Sonya started to reply, making it sound like she thought Karyn was still talking about Ian. "...doesn't look like he has full use of both arms. Other than for dismemberment, that is." "yeah, wait. You mean his own dismemberment, or someone else's?" ask Sonya, not really caring, just engaging in mindless banter. Karyn was hogging the potatoes. Sonya took a scoop before they were gone. "I'm not that familiar with the other chaps on board, other than Ian and Mike. Who else do you know and can trust?" asked Karyn. "With my delicate fixtures?" Sonya laughed. "Remy." she left that hanging just a moment before sharing a smirk and a twinch of her head. "And Jenna, they were with me breaking out of jail." she'd told Karyn about that. A bit about that. "Remember? my wrong place wrong time story? Biff was there too at some point, after I was dead. Then again on the Ziggurat. Them I'd trust." Trying to recount those memories usually got a little twisted and turned around. "Khei is good as gold according to Becker. And doc. Becker wouldn't vouch for someone didn't deserve it." Sonya Gulliver's eyes traced back the path of the departed Tobias Hawke. "And he ain't vouched for no cybernautic pirates." |

Ian laughed with Remy over the idea of the drinks and what might come of it. Some folk can get really drunk on non alcoholic drinks if they think there is some. He remembered a day back during the War when they had been deployed over Eighty-eight days straight and had a "beer Call" The Beer was O'Doul's and was non Alcoholic. So many people came back to the tents drunk off their Pi-Gu's on nothing at all. You could not convince them otherwise, so Ian didn't try, he just laughed. Tobias's form darkened the doorway and the atmosphere changed. He was sure that he had heard Sonya say something about Karyn seein him naked. "I heard that" Then Tobias grunted his usual
He seemed to not notice, or not care about the others in the room
"Not a good Idea. Engine room belongs to Khei. Use one of the Services areas or Machine Shops on this level or the one above." Tobias sniffed the air
"Shhh. They don't know that, yet. Let them think it is, for now." He was glad that Tobias had spoken as low as he did. "You know yer welcome ta stay and eat with us. ..." ((OOC) The above statement on the O'Doul's is true. We were give two non alcoholic beers to drink. I sold mine for $5.00 USD each and laughed as folk got back onboard ship "Drunk as a Skunk". It was so funny to watch it happen.) |

The drink being non-alcoholic could prove to be a good thing for the crew, just for the placebo effect alone, Remy smirked at Ian as he laughed, pouring out drinks in the glasses letting people take what they wanted. Remy looked around at the group, Remy hadn't seen Jenna in a while, maybe she was just catching up on sleep, even though it had been a few months since everything happened, she was still a youngling, and it had been quite some adventure that they had been on? Remy looked at Biff, and Sonya, the only other two people, he "really" knew on the boat, Remy, for a Companion, hadn't been very sociable, it was weird, he hadn't told anyone on the ship about his job, because they would probably judge him for it, say what you will, it maybe the oldest profession in the 'Verse, but people could turn their noses up at it. |

Khei had backed herself into a corner, the galley having filled up with folk it seemed. With all that had happened since leaving Beylix, even seeing a mountain of a man, who looked like some robitic hell chewed him up and spit him back out, step in hadn't really phased her. She hadn't actually seen the man who shot Cole so even now she failed to make that connection. It was probably for the best that she didn't.
No worries boss. There's plenty o' room in th' engine room. I can show 'em th' way. Good place t' go iff'n yer keen t' be alone fer a spell. She made her way to the exit and stepped through with a light smile, as if she'd been looking for an reason to excuse herself from the small crowd. Edited by Khei, Jun 26 2013, 06:27 PM.

Biff sat back taking the merriment in as people smiled and laughed. He didn't take the shot colored water or not he didn't want the taste back in his mouth. It wasn't that he was done drinking. When he wasn't doing it to kill himself he actually enjoyed it. Right now at this moment in the Verse he simply was enjoying his sobriety. Hearing Sonya mention Jenna Biff's curiosity piqued. Where had the little mouse gone off too. It had been some time before the they picked the captain up that he had seen her. "Remy, have you seen Jenna at all?" |

Sonya's ears perked up. 'where was Jenna? - not in Remy's room?' At first she looked back and forth between Remy and Biff, maybe there were two prospects for... but this became serious. She'd not seen a lot of the little one. She should have checked in on them. This was, in Gulliver's eyes, her ship. They'd helped her, saved her. Twice even, well, OK. One out of two, but that ain't bad. Her face took on the concern and lost the selfish little delights she'd been storing up to play at. She'd been feeling better. A lot better. Getting in top condition again, sort of burying the hatchet in, or with, Karyn - depending on what day it was. She was ready to get back into life and love and going home and... "I ain't seen her." she said. "I thought..." she looked at Remy. But clearly now, that assumption was completely false. 'idiot I am an idiot'. |

Remy was actually smiling, that big devilish grin of his, when he was asked about Jenna by Biff. He looked at Biff, a slight worry on his face, but it then dissipated No, but you know her, shes a little mouse, always scurrying around somewhere Sonya then joined in the conversation, she looked back and forth between them, and then she said something, very telling. When they had first met, it was a quick chance encounter, and during their adventures, she had made it known that she had liked him, whether it be in a strictly carnal nature or not, Remy had picked up on it, but her response to Jenna was intriguing nonetheless You thought what? he said, straight face, she had teased him back on the space station, now it was his turn...

The tension melted, not completely away, but to a bare minimum as Trina met Mike as he leaned in for a kiss. Her smile lingered throughout the kiss and her eyes lifted after it broke gently. "Well, you're certainly right about that bias. And I'm not just a little sweet on you, but you knew that already." For several seconds, she stood there grinning up at him, when something finally registered. He was having someone save them food... food she had originally planned to help prepare. A faint wince of guilt flicked across her features. "Ooo... I had asked Remy to help with the meal and I never did go help. I hope he isn't too upset with me." |

You thought what? Remy said. "Uhm." Sonya realized the implication she'd made. The one she'd thought, she'd just said. "What? I mean, you know I thought you guys were," uh... yeah? "keeping an eye on each other right?" Did she feel a little hot? was she just a hint red? She couldn't remember the last time she blushed. What was happening? "Anyway," she blundered on, "I should have been... keeping an eye on the little mouse." She smiled at Remy, the huhn dahn was having her on. So it was the 'you dog' smile, the one that acknowledge you got me; you're toying with me now. I get it. And the eyes flickered with the 'but i am going to get you for this." |

Karyn watched the conversation bounce between a number of the crew; something about a mouse. Her eyebrows quirked at Sonya. "A mouse named Jenna? Something I should be aware of?" It seemed like a part of the crew, but she didn't remember hearing that name being mentioned before. |

"No mouse, but has anyone seen Gizmo? He's a Ring tailed monkey that's been our mascot for more years than I can count. Brought on by one of our more care free engineers." He had smiled for most of the night until he thought of Reese Foster and Tyler Lindon. Tyler had slit Reese's throat to get back at him. Ian could not fathom what for. Tyler had been the one who tortured Ian, not the other way around. Ian offered Tyler a second chance, Reese had almost died because of it. "Gizmo, was Reese Foster's pet. When she left, Gizmo stayed. Now, I think he believes that we are his pets." His smiled returned, but not as full as it was. "Jenna came on at the Ziggurat. Right? She was the one who opened the doors from the Control Booth? I remember someone coming down from up there. Anyone checked her room before landing?" He was remembering Blake Minoi. Blake was a passenger that had, for some unknowable reason decided that the Glory was the perfect place to off himself. It was a strange thing for any kind of Doctor to do. The room he had done it was the Engineer's room now. He had never told anyone that fact. Nor was he ever planning to. He just hoped that another soul had not been added to list of the dead that the ship carried. He looked around the room and saw his old, dead friend. Her bright red hair and lilting voice had always given his a smile. The ghost of Sarene Merrick winked at him and smiled back. On the other side of the room he spied the shade of his former Engineer, Jack Falstaff. Ian didn't know if the man was dead of alive, but the Shade had kept him company a time or two. He half expected to see Caliope Mackenzie once in a while. He shook his head and looked back to the living. |

Michael chuckled a little at Trina's setting guilt. "He'll be fine. You had a medic-y thing to do. Plus everything happened so fast." Non-chalantly, Becker had taken a grip on Trina which come the end of his sentence was used to suddenly lift the doctor up and into a seated position on the main table in med-bay. "The world does not end because Katrina White forgets to make dinner" He stole the quickest of kisses and then grinned at her. In time though his gaze dropped. "Still. I know I just threw you on this table and all but we should probably go and join everyone in toasting to Ian's return." Mike's hands were either side of Trina, pinning her in his presence but he slowly began withdrawing his hold. "But you should know. Your ex-captain has a lot more time on his hands now." A smirk called up his face, echoing many a suggestion. |

Requiem for a Hawke
|
Tobias growled at Ian, reaching his only hand out at the man, like a claw, his figure looming. The conversation seemed to ebb and flow around him - this was nothing at all new to Hawke. Finally, his hand met Ian - gently, on the back of his head. "Dipshit - I ain't talkin' about a place to sleep, and I ain't stayin' for food when three quarters of the room are thinkin' about their guns..." He hissed, voice lowering further, eyeballing Ian with a cocked eyebrow. It was clear as a doorbell, for all the calm and happy chatter, he was a detriment to the room. "Can't you hear what's wrong with your own ship? She's in pain..." He turned on his foot, looking to the far, far smaller lass whom had bravely offered to take him to the engine bay. Then, suddenly, Hawke spoke at full volume as he crossed the room to the door. "Sounds like your ship hasn't had a trained set of hands on her in months - I hope you treat your women better than you treat your engine, Crosseye..." That... That almost sounded like a joke. Coming from him. The Monster of the Black. "Come on, little brave one. Lead the way. Maybe I can make her purr, rather than howl." He grinned wolfishly down at the tiny woman - tiny to him. |

It hadn't been that long ago that Sonya had suggested the ship could use a full time engineer; leave Khei to the tech, leave the rest to not help with the maintenance. She hated maintenance. Now the ninth wonder of the 'verse was dissing Glory. 'He' was not only disobeying the Captain's orders to not go to the engine room for the purpose of messing with Glory. More so, 'fixing' her broken wailings and make'm all better. After a sudden smirk to objecting tightening of her mouth, Sonya turned away from looking at Remy and stood as she turned to face the big bad myth of the black. Legends have a way of shrinking down to a common size when they rank your boat and it's Captain. Where the heck was Becker to throw down on this? Gulliver's eyes flickered to Khei for a moment. She hadn't exactly helped none, offering to take Hawke to the engine room after the Captain said no. "you got cybernetic cotton in your ears? Captain spoke plain. Khei's our engineer and Glory's running fine. Fix your electronic pie hole in the mech room." |

Khei nodded to the big man, his grin and general demeanor would have put her on edge a few weeks prior but now, she seemed mostly unphased. Perhaps she was still emotionally numb. Either way she motioned in the direction of the Engine room as she walked. I've kept 'er runnin' smooth as I can but I ain't a pro. Never really worked on this class a' ship back on Beylix neither. I can work the cortex like a fish in water tho. Clearly she had been trying to defend her makeshift position as mechanic in the absence of a pro. She fell into silence for the rest of the walk. She stopped outside the entrance and nodded. Well. here she is.... Um. Anything you need? I assume yer wantin' ta' be left alone. |

Karyn bristled as well and took to her feet, yelling at the Monster's back. "Hey, Snipe! At least we have qualified pilots on board that saved your gose!!" Her hands clenched into fists and the steam rolled off her ears like Alliance Gunship vapor trails. She didn't even notice that her paper cup had tipped over and spilled the weak liquid onto her plate, drenching the morsels there. |

Ian had been about to comment, but Sonya and Karyn bet him to it. Their's had not been as nice as Ian's would be. He also noted that Khei did not seem to take offence, so why should he. "Can you two. Khei's bringin him in ta her space, let it be. But Toby, you don't go wreckin my ship, and be nice ta her innards. You talk to Becker or myself before you go and make any modifications." By that time he had managed to cross the floor to the table that Sonya and Karyn were at. "Ladies. May I join you?" What he didn't add was what he was thinkin ... or have I put my foot too far up my pi-gu already. |

Sonya put a soft hand on Karyn's shoulder, but pressed firm, "let it go." she whispered, or so said the Captain, more or less. Didn't help her own mood though. Bad waves there, letting someone walk and talk like they ran the ship. She forced a smile. Sonya sat, trying to bring Karyn gently down with her. "please do." she answered to the Captain. "We were talking about you earlier. Karyn was wondering what kind of Captain you was, or is. I hadn't had a chance to reply about how you was forceful and commanding, knew his way around the verse, lots of little tricks that made the trip fun." Sonya smiled a little brighter at Karyn. They'd been talking about him all right, but it hadn't been Sonya's thoughts on his Captainy skills that she had figured to get back to Karyn about. |

Biff chuckled at Remy's statement. Jenna was probably scurrying through any vents she could fit in to find the best routes through the ship. He got up after watching the merriment between everyone and wanted to head back to his room. He had a lot on his mind and much of it was put at ease seeing the captain release the figurative leash from Hawke. "I'll be in my room if anyone needs me." He strode out of the galley back towards his quarters. |
