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....

Remy sat in his room, thinking about everything that had come before him, and how he was lucky with where he was at the moment, but at the same time, feeling a little out of place in the grand scheme of things.

A knock came on his door, and it was Biff. Remy smiled, as Biff asked him a question

of course, I always have time for you he answered.

"Jesus." exclaimed Sonya at the pouncing of Gizmo. She chuckled a little at the little primates antics. Ian seemed much more amused.

"Jungle barbeque sounds mighty good. Don't get a lot of cows and pigs, but plenty of other goodies to smoke." She looked at the two other ship's officers, grinned at them and tried to head them off at the wise crack pass. "Meat wise I mean."

She rose, "I'm going to give the bridge a look." which meant she wanted to check things, most likely what might be going on in the engine room. Gulliver ruffled the heads of Ian, Mike and Gizmo with near equal affection.

Just one last thing that really need to be squared. "So, is big buddy crew? I get the whole super hero killed more folk than god, got a shoulder chip bigger'n Big Ben's minute hand and all. But we all been pissed on here Ian. Got a lot of folk on Glory that been through it. I already got a four year old to take care of. Don't need one on Glory."

Ian nodded and answered, though his stomach turned soured as he did.

"He's crew. Was before, always will be. We been through a lot while we were leaving Verbena. I owe him a chance, at least."

His voice faded away as he thought through the last two months.

"I'll keep an eye on him. We still have Wolf's Security system. Should be able to do so from the Bridge or Mike's cabin, as well as mine."

Karyn grumbled to herself as she left her cabin, pistol strapped to her hip, and made her way forward to the bridge. She secured the hatch as she entered and tossed her g-rats bag on the console before settling in to the pilot's seat.

"Gonna be a long long way to home, when I get into the Black; Some one waits for me, and I'm just lookin' for some slack." The old chanty came easily to her and she sang softly to herself. Tearing open the foil container, she pulled out a mealy bar of concentrate and took a bit, letting the chocolate cream ooze over one lip before swiping at it. The pain in her stomach groaned for the meager food.

"Yes Sir." Said Sonya, sounding quite reassured. She stopped to give Ian a hug around his neck from behind, her eyes closed as if in a silent prayer. Taking the monkey, "Come on Gizmo, if you stay with these boys, you'll be nibbling bugs off them the rest of the day."

WIth a wink to Becker she tickled Gizmo a bit as she carried him off to the bridge.

....

At the bridge she found it sealed up, entered her codes and walked in. She shut it up behind her. Good idea. Letting Gizmo go, the little primate knew the rules on the bridge. Leave the pretty lights and buttons along.

"Great minds.." Sonya said, referring to them both taking solace in the bridge. Everything looked on the mark. Gizmo settled in a good little monkey pose off to the side, eyes on Karyn's crappy food.

"I'm about to hit the gym." she said as she tapped the comm to the engine room.

"How's it look down there Khei? Need anything from up here from us Valkyrie? or you little gremlins able to amuse yourselves down in the hole?"

Karyn turned as the hatch clicked and opened. For a moment, she tensed up but as Sonya entered, she relaxed. Then the monkey jumped over onto the console, and she jumped out of her seat, and backed away. After the initial surprise, she let out a loud laugh.

"Well, that's enough to break the tension. Thanks."

She watched the primate carefully while settling back down in the chair.

"Sorry, I'm just not feeling up to exercise right now. I'll keep an eye on the ship. Take a comm in case I have an issue I want to discuss with you." She waved at the rack of portable radios mounted near the hatch.

Biff walked into Remy's room and was amazed. Even with the lack of resources he had on hand Remy had managed to make his room into a place of tranquility. Almost temple like. How did the man do that? "Hey I just thought I pop in to see how you're doing with the captain back and all. I know that you put his loss all on your shoulders and you just seem a bit uncomfortable back in the galley.

"Warning Proximity Alert." The automated voice echoed over the intercoms. A red flashing light blinked on the bridge console as a shuttle was quickly coming into view. The radar system registered the shuttle as the one Flint Corso had stolen from Glory while on Verbena.

Bridge

Karyn jumped as the alarm sounded, only hesitating a moment before slamming down on the ship's intercom. "Cap't to the bridge. Incoming shuttle. " She spun on her seat and looked back at Sonya. "Any thoughts on this?" she threw her thumb at the increasing metallic blot as it grew in size.

Sonya sat, looked over the scanners.

"Scanner indicates it's our shuttle. 'One Corso took off in, so.." She hated to jump to the easy conclusion, but in the short amount of time that had passed, it did seem Mr. Flint was making a hasty return.

"Not sure how the Captain is going to receive him given he took without asking." Gulliver shrugged. Predicting how Ian took on folk, Sonya didn't dare speculate.

Crew's Galley

Ian was about to ask Mike abd Trian how things were going

Ships Systems
 
"Warning Proximity Alert."


He looked up and before he could stand there was another message.

From Karyn
 
"Cap't to the bridge. Incoming shuttle. "


He stood and was in motion.

"Mike get everyone ready for trouble"
He left the galley and made his way to the Bridge. He punched in his code and unlocked and opened the doors, for now.

"Whats the sitch."

Karyn pointed at the radar ID, "Says it's our shuttle coming home. Not sure of its intent, though, so what's your direction?" She made sure the Glory was still holding its course and flipped the alarm switch to quiet the yammering.

The alarm struck Becker at his core. From planning parties and swapping nonsense to trouble again. It interrupted him mid-bite and forced a disregard of all current activities. With a sigh he looked to Dugan who was quick on issuing orders.

A shuttle. Friend or foe? Did someone get a hold of the message? Or are we on someone elses turf? Can't think of much for friend.

Becker's first instinct was to tool up, and he knew exactly which he wanted. He moved to comms, activating it for a message that would find his favourite gunhand. "Biff. Grab one of those things that fire out small bits of metal and meet me on mid-deck." Attention then fell onto Trina, and quickly thought up all the ramifications of possible events. "You know we always might have need for a doc," he reasoned, "But I can't see much call for it as I stand. Settle in somewhere 'til you get word, just stay away from access points." A peck on the lips was all he spared her before vacating the galley.

His first journey found him in his room, picking up the rifle he prefixed with the word 'trusty'. Then he moved for the hallways of the middle deck to meet Biff. Once there he struck up a comm message again. "Ian. Let me know if it's docking or landing, so I know where to wait." As it was, Mike was torn between the cargo bay and shuttle access.

And things seemed to be going so well...

Trina sighed as Mike took off. True, her skills might come into call if things went wrong, but Mike had a point. Right now, she didn't need to be 'in the line of fire'. She was sorely hoping that particular phrase wasn't coming into play anytime soon, but being in the Black, it did more often than not. She rolled her right shoulder, recalling her own personal encounter.

Instead of rushing off, she scooped up the plates she and Mike had been eating from and took care of cleaning them. There really wasn't anyplace for her to be and Mike had suggested someplace that was away from access points. Her own instinct, told her to go to medical. Plates cleaned and put away, she turned on her heel and headed towards her 'duty station'. Whether it was what Mike had meant or not, that was her job.

Once inside, she opted to secure the door behind her and then keyed up the comm. "Medical standing by." She kept it short, not wanting to tie up the comm, just in case.

Biff came into his room, and talked to him, it seemed that Biff could see that he was feeling slightly off with Ian, they had talked slightly about it, but if Biff had seen the awkwardness, maybe the rest did? Remy was a Companion, he usually didnt let his emotions show, but to be fair, he had gone through a pretty life altering experience in his run up to joining the crew.

Thanks for your concern my friend, I think...

Just as he was about to talk, something came over the comm, Remy looked at Biff

I think you'll be needed shortly said Remy smiling

The shuttle sped up, masking the speed of Glory as it began it's docking sequence to the empty shuttle access port. The shuttle shuddered slightly as it connected to Glory and the airlock began to seal with a loud hissing noise.

"Shuttle Bay." said Sonya over the comm to Becker. They'd practiced this drill a few times in the last couple months. Sometimes serious, sometimes fun as Sonya would send him and the security boys running around the ship, once right onto a nice slick floor of shaving cream. That had been a hoot.

She tried to lock up the inner air lock door. Given that it was a Glory shuttle it was able to dock, but Ian's security should be keeping anyone that wasn't allowed from getting in.

'should be and wishin' on stars gets the same result' said the little fem voice in her head.

"yeah." she answered.

"Flint Corso, that you?" she commed to the shuttle port. "You better announce yourself, we got about two dozen browncoat mercs and a fully operational cyberbot with laser guidance disintigrator rocketinies ready and waiting for you."

There was no response. The distant humming of the shuttle powering down could be heard through the airlock door.

Bridge

Before Ian could answer Karyn the shuttle docked. The doors were locked for all incoming until Ian or Becker gave the OK.

He smiled as Sonya went through her bit on what was waiting for the occupant.

If only.

He hit the comm and told Mike that the shuttle had docked. He picked up his coat and put it back on.

"I'll be on the shuttle Deck with Mike. Keep the Bridge secure and do a scan of other ships or shuttles in the area."

He paused at the door.

"Be ready for anything."

He left, his coat tails swirling behind him as he moved before the the door closed behind hm.

Shuttle deck

Ian mad it to the shuttle deck shortly and met up with Mike when he got there. He pressed the comm to the shuttle.

"Please identify yourself and prepare for boarding."

Ghost was in his hand and ready to sing.

When Biff made an appearance, Becker ushered him to follow as word came through that their arrival was trying for shuttle access.

Mike promptly moved to the appropriate deck and found space where the shuttle would dock. He held up his rifle, locked at chest height where the door would be opened. If trouble made an appearance, Becker would shut it down.

"Let's be pretty damn sure before we take shots. Only fire if they're looking to send danger our way." His instructions were mainly for Biff. Ian Required little assistance.
