This is Thread 50 of the adventures of the Sereni-Tree!

For “The Guide to the Clubhouse / Treehouse / Sereni-Tree Threads”, telling our story and providing links to all such threads:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=11877

Early in this next link is the very long post containing “TheRealMe’s Guide to the Sereni-Tree, V6”. This post is a description of the ship and crew.
http://fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=20521

A new crew list will follow this post next in this thread.

Here is a summary of our previous thread, located at:
http://fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=21552

The Second Gala Pageant is running smoothly. Needy is in the middle of changing from his G-swim to a sexy red dress when Serenity, one of the judges, suddenly goes into labor. Then Corbin the Yeti goes into labor, too. Serenity is carried up to her nest in the observation lounge, located on the highest deck of the Sereni-Tree. Since it is the Yeti way to have babies while submerged in rivers or lakes, the other Yeti take Corbin to our Olympic sized swimming pool.

On the way up to the observation lounge, Soul decides that he wants to be married to Serenity before the baby comes. So that we would have a captain to perform the ceremony, TheRealMe assumed command of the Sereni-Tree and ordered her into the air (thinking that a ship must be under way before a captain can perform a ceremony). Quincey on the bridge and Jet in engineering get the ship airborne. Advised by Doctor SimonWho to hurry, TheRealMe performs a quick, improvised ceremony despite Soul’s habit of going catatonic and fainting. Cozen pops in JUST too late to be somebody that objects to the wedding. Jazaf uses his super-power to shape a pair of wedding bands for the couple, then retreats from the scene when the birth becomes imminent. He takes off to call in some favors for a nice present.

The baby girl, named Seraphina, is born. She has darling little angel wings.

Immediately after the birth, one of the Yeti grabs SimonWho and takes him to the swimming pool, where Corbin delivers her baby. In gratitude for the doctor’s help, she names the baby SimonYeti.

Mai and Jadehand spend a lot of time together. Mai’s birthday occurs and Jadehand brings her a cake. At one point, Jadehand takes the Ocean Cloud and travels to the piratical Sea of Wings to get a present for Serenity’s baby.

LightMeDark stirs a few times from his customary seat at the bar to hang around with his animal friends. He encourages bunny dances.

Cozen is aghast that Seryn shampooed his llama friend, Schwartz.

Seryn and ScorpionRegent spent a lot of time together. Seryn’s bunny breeding program seems to have had wild successes. She has begun to distribute bunnies all around the ship, including a pair to Mai’s pet brontosaurus, Frederick.

The baby shower is readied. Jake7 goes nuts with a camera, taking pictures of everything and everybody. The young orphans Shadow and Ghost leave a present for baby Seraphina, as does Safeat2nd (A pair of baby combat boots that were his as a child and a teddy bear with butterfly wings). Cozen supplies a gross tonne of diapers, which Serenity estimates will last a week.

Rat (fresh from the cryo tanks), Wisp (awakening and turning over in his bed of popcorn) and PsychicRiver (still caught in elsewhen talking to another version of himself) sort of pop in for quick hellos.

TheRealMe uses the Sereni-Tree’s grappler arms to transfer the Original Clubhouse from the cargo bay to a branch of the Tree. With the permanent dimensional portal, anyone will be able to go back and forth between the Treehouse and the Sereni-Tree.

Oh, and as the last judge not incapacitated, Malicious declares HERSELF the winner of the Second Gala Pageant and runs off to her quarters with her second set of Miss ‘Verse regalia.

Hello! The existing Guide to the Sereni-Tree is still current enough, I suppose. Link to it from the first post if you want to get an idea of exactly what the Sereni-Tree is (actually, it's a huge space ship). But we do need an update on the crew list.

Under active crew I have put everyone who has posted something in the last two threads (about the last two months). I also stuck in River-clone and Seraphina, having no better catagory. I shuffled others off to the MIA list. I completely removed a few folks who only posted a time or so several threads ago (BeautifulDisaster, Superpup, and WitchOfTheDogs).

The Active Crew and Passengers of the Sereni-Tree

13: New recruit with plot ideas somewhat on the far side of outlandish.

CallMeAth aka Ath (Pilot): With Lissa, creator of the kissies; Romantically interested in Kelly; Powers: pyro-kinesis, predictive parrying, and bat wings. Rarely, he shows Jedi powers (but then he usually turns into his dark alter ego, Darth Ath).

CallMeSerenity aka Serenity aka Bride8 (Gardener): Ath’s sister; built greenhouse in cargo bay; New parent of baby Seraphina (with husband Soul); Skilled with katanas. Power: flight via blue-white angelic wings.

Jazaf: Master swordsman, mystery man, Sensei to Bride2; has recently mutated arm that MIGHT be fixed now; Power: metal-shaping.

KellyofLuthien (Cook): Red-headed Elf woman interested in Ath. Pleasant, helpful. Powers: Immortality, Elvish magic; wielder of the Ring of Fire Narya and the magic sword Nardol.

LightMeDark aka LMD aka Elemdee (Animal Handler): Tends to remain drunk; had an interest in Mai. Powers: banana powers? Understands speech and writing of all creatures.

Lissa: With Ath, creator of the kissies; tends to prefer the calmer times (and jacuzzi parties).

Mai (Cruise Director / Tour Guide): Not an attack-and-kill kind of girl; has pet dinosaur Frederick; sometimes disappears and has to be quested for. Interested in Jadehand. Power: light generation.

McQ: A cyborg, formerly an Alliance experiment. Not big on people skills. Powers: impressive guns, a jet pack, and other cyborg-ish gadgets.

MontanaGirl (MedAssistant and Vet); Likes Cozen’s kidnapping methods. Likes things to go boom! NASCAR fan. Has ferret friend Dale.

Needy (Companion): A confused boy whore who sometimes talks to angels only he can see. Power: Indestructible.

Alright, here's a plot-line, however crappy and non-relative.

An ancient prophecy is discovered in the cutlery drawer, speaking of the coming of a Dark Harbinger, an enormous space rooster that will bring with it the tides of destruction, and by extension, the end of life itself.

The Knights of the Octagonal Ottoman, led by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud, and the Ghost of Tom Berenger, (members of which including, but not limited to: Peter Parker, Hatshepsut, and Pazuzu) are attempting to stop previously mentioned chaotic space rooster.

Serenity looked at Sera, the releived sigh almost inaudiable, while Seryn picked up the boots Safe had sent.

"It always amazes me how small feet can be - i mean we all met Safe, can you believe that once upon a time, he was small enought to fit these?"

She looked up at SR "I mean in theory - you were once small enough to fit these.... But i don't believe it."

SR shrugs.

She bent and gave a very brief hug to Serenity, then spoke to SR, "come on then, I believe we have a game of tennis, or metaphysics or something. And we have to discuss soundproofing in my apartment."

If we run into chickens, I have chicken confusion powers (really -- I grew up on a farm and can imitate chickens. I torment them every year at the fair. Makes my friends laugh -- wish I knew what I was telling them...)

but sadly my chicken exposure is limited.

as well.

You're not getting the point of this are you?

Well the answer to that one it sort of/no.
Sound is a vibration right? So it remains a vibration until something with an ear drum turns it into sound. Considering this it some mystical wood, where there is absolutely nothing around to hear, then it just remainas a vibration.

Now, you knew that already, but i figured i'd repeat it just to show willing. and now i'm going right back to the shallow.

Okay, here is my best attempt to incorporate all of your ideas:

Centuries ago, a coalition of SCA aficionados, Renaissance Fair-goers, and Fantasy Role-players departed from Earth-That-Still-Is and colonized the planet Zanzibar in order to live in a style of their choosing (mostly by wearing armor, swinging swords, and saying things like “Prithee, Sir” and “Huzzah!”).

They are ruled by kings, queens, dukes, earls and barons, but there is also a mysterious, special organization, the Knights of the Octagon, eight individuals whose magical and martial prowess are unchallenged. One of the original KOO members was the Great Oracle, a mystic seer who wrote down numerous prophesies in a set of famous scrolls. One of these prophesies dealt with the coming of the Dark Harbinger, a creature that will bring with it the tides of destruction, and by extension, the end of life itself. Mostly, the Prophesy of the Dark Harbinger was ignored, since the Great Oracle was, for the most part, a nut case of the highest order.

Anyway, the inhabitants of the planet Zanzibar (who refer to themselves as Zanzibarbarians), discovered soon after they settled that the environment of their new home was not conducive to the breeding of horses. In fact, all their horses died within the first week. The scientists and magicians among the Zanzibarbarians attempted to rectify the problem through magical genetics. Although they bred the odd race of gnome and fairie, they could not get a good riding beast. The centaurs were the closest they came, and they ended up being too willful.

Luckily for the Zanzibarbarians, there existed a native life form that could be adapted to their needs. It was a large creature, stuck somewhere on the evolutionary path between the Tyrannosaurus Rex and flightless birds such as ostriches. There exists a scientific term for these creatures in proper Latin, bu

Then, once you break atmo, set these coordinates and activate the hyperdrive. We should drop of hyperspace over Zanzibar in a few days."

He takes another look at her and pauses.

"Uh, Bride5, with that body paint from the Pageant, you ARE still essentially naked. Would you like me to call Ath to the bridge to do these maneuvers while you go off to..."

Quincey grits her teeth. "Him? Naw. I got it." She touches a few controls and the Sereni-Tree leaps into the sky.

They had seen a lot of things in their explorations of this ship they had found themselves on. Strange creatures, and rooms that held everything from normal control computers to ones that seemed to be filled with dangerous dragons daringly disco dancing in drag.

They had found doors that lead to nowhere and ones that were locked, little ones that they couldn't possibly fit into and large ones that they couldn't reach the doorknob to open.

But now they were lost again.

Nothing looked familiar and the door they had entered seemed to have dissappeared.

Well, TRM, you do have a good point.
'Ceptin' one teeny tiny itty bity thing. This tour guide tried to do a bit of a look up on said planet of chicks and got a whole bunch of nothing. There isn't any info to be found on the planet. Also, when I typed in "space chicken" on the cortex all I got back was the following description: "Mythological feathered creatures of strange proportion. No further history available"

So, either the cortex has been compromised and emptied of pertinent information or no ones actually survived a trip the said planet in order to come back and report about said astronaut-ish poultry.

I guess leaving the question what exactly are we getting ourselves into? Not that it matters much cause peril always = entertainment.

If it pleases her to wear a complete costume then I am fully prepared accept and respect her decision. The fact that I will be several thousand miles away makes the whole issue somewhat academic.

As the Serenitree Hurtles off through space towards Zanzibar Wisp looks over the newly posted crew manifest.

The motley bunch of misfits and superheroes all seem to have one thing in common which Wisp did not...

POWERS

Magical or otherwise Wisp was only a genius and did not have any afformentioned powers to dazzle and impress.

This would have to be rectified before the imminent battle with the zanazibarbarians and theyre fire breathing space chickens (poltrious incendious I believe the latin name is)

Wisp set off to the engine room to find Jet tinkering with a terminal of some kind.

"Hello again!" She said turning to greet him "What can i do for you today?"

"I need some hightech powers that create aww and ooh and occasionally a phhwwooorrr"

"Try looking through the store room and inventing something in there" She replied while pointing to a door at the back

Upom stepping inside Wisp found himself in a huge sweet shop filled with wires and parts machines jars containers and all mannors of ingenious technology.

He began to reinvent himself.

*JadeHand moves around the kitchen in his room mixing various spices and cutting non-space chicken for dinner, as Mai opens a bottle and pours two glasses for them. Leaving the fresh vegetables cut in seperate bowls and the chicken and spices cooking, JadeHand takes his glass and slips up beside Mai as she gazes out of the window.*

It's nice to be out in the black again. Do you have any after dinner plans? I thought we might pass out on the couch in front of a movie and some popcorn...

Wisp walked out of the hangar the next morning looking very weary and tired.

"ooh lets see what youve got then!!!" Squeeled Jet as she saw him emerge

He took a second after noticing her nad hearing her words for him to comprehend

"Yeah" He perked up slightly after living in his own world all night

"No1 Ive augmented me corneas so i can now see in Uv, Thermal, And Xray vision" His eyes glanced up and down Jet

"YOUR XRAYING ME RIGHT NOW ARENT YOU!!!" She covered her boobs and nethers and slapped him across the face

"Sorry

No2 Ive replaced my lower arms with powerful electromagnets so i can move around large metals"

Wisp moved a large piece of machinery just by moving his hands.

"oooh" She said marveling at his new powers

"And No3" He lifted up his shirt revealing four deep gashes in each side of his chest

"EEEWWWHH What is that!!"

"Theyre gills. I can breathe permanantly Underwater"

"Nice powers So whats in the bag?"

"Never You mind" He said sneakily "But this is for you" He extracted a post and pressed a button and Out sprang a hamock

"I already have a hamock" She said pointing to a tattered rag in the corner

"Yes but this is officially the most comfortable hamock in the world. Pneumatics, Hydraulics, Gravity springs and a dark matter injector"

"Fancy Hamock"

Wisp Walked out and followed the wailing to the new babys room. As he knocked a rugged Soul answered the door.

"Hey Congratulations and all Heres a baby present for you" He extracted a metal rucksack thing from his bag

"What is it??"

"Theyre Wings. I figure the wifes got em, the kids gottem you might as well have em. Just put em on and fly"

"Thanks" Soul said while looking at the equipment

"Listen gotta go Have fun!"

Wisp closed the door and went to the hangar to test his new powers

But it does mean that you have to look after him - he tends to run into things - trees, people, ships, no depth perception you see.

OOC: The Etiquette of Super Powers

Multiple superpowers are okay. The thing to watch is having powers that tend to short-circuit our plot lines. For example, if you have god-like powers where you can wave your hand and make our problems disappear, then having and dealing with problems becomes less interesting.

"Oh, another invasion fleet. YAWN! Say, Bob, can you send them to oblivion like the last four?"

That way, for us to have any fun, we need to either cause Bob to lose his powers temporarily, or Bob has to be in some torpor where he cannot act. Or Bob sits by, god-like, watching the antics of us mere mortals until he feels it is time to intervene and save us.

Another problem is if your powers are constantly changing, so that you can always pull up a new one to deal with any specific situation. Jadehand's Nametags of Shapeshifting are like this, but their use comes with enough of a price that he won't do so frivilously.

And yes, I think that flight using wings is a superpower. It was for Angel of the original X-Men!

WASHSYOUNGERSEXIERBR

Tuesday, August 1, 2006 3:09 PM

Wisp stepped into the Hangar Still weary after his night of inventing. His Genious had given birth to three (non-godlike)Superpowers.

Wisp decided to test each one to find its strengths and weaknesses.

Firstly were His augmented Corneas. Throughout the ship Wisp Now saw the UV markers left from when the ship was built. He also saw little invisible ink messages that were obviously left by the construction centre staff.

Through IR and Xray he could see roughly into the next room. There were The new parents wrestling baby Seraphina from the celing, Seryn and SR In Bed-He didnt go Xray on that room. The rest of the ship was fairly routine.

Next he rolled up his sleeves revealing the scars left from His Electromagnets. That had been really difficult and painful. He had built and programmed a sergical robot to remove his Radius's and replace them with identical Sized electromagnetic bones. They Contained Ferrous Alloy rods charged by Small bioneural Battery packs. The could lift anything Up to roughly a ton as long as the ferrous content was over 15%.

For example the shuttle wreckage itself still left in the Hangar was too heavy, But the small debris round it were fair game.

For his gills he decided to go down to the pool and have a long swim. These had required more biological and genetic enhancments rather than pgysics and chemistry. He had grown them in an incubator and grafted them on to his abdomen. He also used a retroviral agent and oncogenes to connect blood vessels and nerves.

When he arrived at the pool he found Yetis were still abundant and the pool was filled with....fluids.

"I'll come back tommorrow" He said and caught some well needed sleep back in his bunk.

“Sorry I’m late!” Jet dashes into the conference room and quickly takes a seat.

TheRealMe smiles at her. “It’s nice to actually see you in person, Bride4. You don’t get out of Engineering much, these days, do you?”

Jet shrugs. “All my toys are down there.”

TheRealMe turns to face the assembled group. “Thank you all for coming. I would have invited Rat, too, but I think he put himself back into cryo storage, again.”

Jadehand, Jazaf, Jet, Scorpion Regent, Seryn, and Wisp look back at him expectantly.

“It is my belief that those of us in this room are the best on this ship for the skills of mechanic, engineering, and metalworking.” TheRealMe touches a control on his com-link and an image is displayed on a wall, showing a damaged shuttle in the Sereni-Tree’s hanger bay. “Back during our previous peril in orbit over the planet Garrison, our shuttle Admiral Nelson was wrecked well and good. I had considered spacing it, but I have to confess that this particular shuttle has some sentimental value to me and others in the crew. I’m wondering if those of us with special skills and powers can repair this craft? If not, then we’ll be down to only two General Class shuttles, the Lee and the Napoleon. And the Ocean Cloud, too, of course.” He touches another control on his com-link. “I’m making available to you the original specifications on the General Class Shuttle as written up by Montanagirl and Rat, and also the blueprints and schematics that TheGreyJedi used when he actually built them. If you’re willing, please take a look and tell me what you think. Thanks.”

Suddenly, a shudder goes through the Sereni-Tree.

Moments after, Quincey comes on the ship-wide com system. “Ladies and gentlemen, and Cozen too, we have just dropped out of hyperspace over the planet Zanzibar. I’m going to place us in a high orbit until we decide what to do next.”

TheRealMe resumes talking. “Well, it’s not like the shuttle project is a top priority or anything. We also need to consider our plans for liberating one of these fire-breathing space chickens, and how to keep from getting toasted ourselves. Hmmm… We might want to add some different folks for that meeting.”

Wisp returned to his quarters to review the schematics. Schemtaics were great in a Ship Yard with fresh parts on tap but all they had were those from Jets parts Tardis and whatever could be salvaged from The Nelson.

I wonder if theres anything on the planet we could use?? Like a dry dock or a parts manufactuerer?

Wisp activated Serenitrees sensors and began a sweep of the area. An allaince Warning buoy was in orbit-nothing surprising there during the war they left them on most planets to hide there bases. But this one sent across images of devistation and slaughter. And one in particular caught Wisps eye. He printed it and ran to the Meeting room where the warriors were congregating.

Wisp Jazaf Seryn Sr and Jet stood in a rough semi circle in the hangar. Jadehand was faffing with a terminal opposite them till a holographic model of the Nelson appeared between them.

"Ok" He said not altering his gaze from the panel "in a minute thisll go all rainbowified with the current situation. Any parts that are on the Nelson and still work are green, any that are broke but weve got spares. If any are Red weve gotta re-design, rebuild or bypass" After more typing the image blinked off then reappeared showing Lots of green some blue and an alarming ammount of red.

"Ok" SR replied to the diagram "Thats not too bad"

Seryn slapped him around the back of the head sharply "Yes it is bad theres far too much red!!!"

"No wait we might be able to fandangle it" Wisp placed his hand inside the model making it flicker "if we divide the ship into parts and we each work on ways to get round our own reds we might be able to fix it"

"How do we divide it then" Jazaf stated rather than asked.

"Well we could do area or Electrics mechanics engines weapons gadets??" Jet interjected into the discusion.

The group pondered silently for a second each persons eyes falling to a different part of the floor.

Eventually All eyes fell on Jadehand who didnt realise for a good few seconds he was being stared at

Wisp has proven an aptitude and skill for weaponry of a gadget inclination, so you and he can probably more than handle those two. And Jazaf and I can divide the fitting of the new componants, tuning the mechanical bits and replacing the electricals.

Well, Jazaf can do the intelligent half of that, i'll do the grunt work, *wiggles her fingers* - i'm a little rusty with anything that can't be fixed with a big hammer and some blue language."

Ack! well, that sounds good Seryn. Just what I would have suggested if I'd had enough time to finish pondering exactly how I got into the hanger bay. Last I recall, I was passed out on my couch. I can start bringing in spare parts and some raw materials that were left over from the construction of Ocean Cloud, There's not much left, but it may help. If we need to, we'll make a run to a nearby planet and get more parts. Maybe we can do some trading on Zanzibar. We really need to keep a better stash of parts here. I might have to liberate us some if we encounter any Alliance outposts.
I'll get the first load of parts up, but I need to run back to the apartment first. I'll be back shortly.

*JadeHand slips on board Ocean Clould and brings out 2 crates of parts and some extra tools. Setting out the supplies as the others begin removing parts that can be salvaged from the Nelson with a little work and stacking up the parts deemed beyond repair. JadeHand returns to his room and finds Mai still asleep on the couch. He cafefully makes sure that she's comfortable and slips a blanket over her. He dims all the lights and turns off the TV. He begins scribbling a quick note to leave on the table for when she wakes.
"Mai, I've reported to the hanger bay for work on the Nelson. Thank you for having dinner with me last night. I always enjoy our time together. I'll be in the bay for a while if you want to come up and visit, or feel free to hang out here. Help yourself to anything you need here. I'll see you soon. -JadeHand"
He leaves the note on the table in front of the couch, walks over to the couch and gently places his hand on the side of her face and es her forehead.
Soon he's back in the Hanger Bay and sorting though the stacks of parts. Removing pieces from the 'complete junk' parts he begins adding them to the 'needs repairs' pieces and redistibuting the parts to the teams for reinstallation.*

Seryn, you underestimate your abilities. You're very talented at this work, and we could certainly use your help here. But, the fact is, you're an even more talented seamstress. So, why don't you see what you can do for them first. We'll stick to working here. I won't need planetside attire. If I head down, it won't be for a meet and greet.

"There are quite a few 'red' parts that can be fabricated with what we have on hand, so the Nelson is in fact as difficult a restoration as it might first appear." SR notes. "yes there are quite few parts that will need to aquire replacements for either on Zanzibar or else where. Whe we get there I knew a few people who might be able to help in that department, granted they are still alive."
Seryn shoots a surprised look SR's way.
"I have been there more than once, last time I was on planet for more than eighteen months, standard months that is."
"So you know what they wear?" Seryn asks
SR grunts and nods in a positive way. "I'll show you some examples, and then let you run with it." SR turns to TRM "If Seryn and I can have maybe a few hours for apparel purposes?"

"Yes, of course. Later come see me. We need all the information we can get before we go planetside."

TheRealMe adjusts his hat, and adds, "Oh, I should mention that the tech level of the Zanzibarbarians is only in the range of early medieval to early Renaissance. With a little Arthurian and Middle Earth magic thrown in. So we won't be getting any parts from down there.

"And Jadehand, we seem to be disturbing a lot of your plans. This project is voluntary. If you don't want to participate, just say so. I'm sure we can manage without you."

Wisp stepped into the wreckage of the Nelson with a portable scanning device. Sensors were intact but a little outdated, He tried to start a console but as the engines were out that wasnt happening. He walked outside and to his room. He fetched back a wide variety of gizmos and gadgetry that could help in his rucksack.

Upon returning to the hangar Wisp unfolded His chemistry set in a far corner away from the mechanicy section. He rumaged through his bag and pulled out a small fusion reactor and his laptop.

Jadehands diagram showed which parts are broken but with gadgets everything could look fine but it wouldnt work. He needed an internal diagnostic so he needed that console working. He returned to the burnt shell and began hooking up to the charred terminal.

*wakes up and reads the note*

Oh yeah, that's always, the bad part of peril there's work involved.

*goes off in search of Serenity and Sera to see how the new family is doing*

It's alright TRM, I had planned to fix up the Nelson anyway. I need to get it ready for the next time we need it. Also, shuttle work is better than being flame broiled by a chicken. They sound like chocobos. Was this world ever called Ivalice? Maybe we could invite some of the other local critters to join us and breed some warrior animal allies?

*gets back to work dismantling parts, cleaning parts, and reassembling fully functional parts. Now if only there was someone to make yummy Cinnabons for the crew.......*

Well, as it looks like I may have to go planetside, I'd better get fitted for some type of costume.

Just make sure it's flameproof in case I can't confuse the chicken(s) enough!

"They may not have any parts they build themselves, but they have been fighting with the Alliance so there is a chance that they may have ships and smaller craft that they captured, disabled or destroyed. We can possibly barter for the rights to salvage for parts."

After Wisp had torn out the entire weapons and sensor arrays for repairs he was in a bad mood. It was not fun work it was not easy and it did not fill him with Joy.

His eyes fell upon the pile of Debris that was past repair lying at the back of the hangar. While on the planet they couldnt use convensional weapons on the planet because theyd be discovered. But that doesnt mean they needed to just use swords and stuff.

He set up a repair program for the weapons and sensors and while that worked he walked over to the pile of scrap. And began grabbing things that might work in a different way than they had been designed for. After an hours work Wisp had what appeared to be a normal crossbow. Except this crossbow fired bolts that were explosive and the weapon track was as accurate as a pulse rifle.

He put it to one side and returned to replacing the gadetry

really Jadehand, thats very sweet of you to say, but i've no issue with the fact that my biggest talent lies in breaking things - heads mainly.

*listens to Jake7* *then grins a big grin* ok Jake, give me about an hour, then drop by my apartments, we'll see if we can't get you all fitted up with something appropriate.

right now i'm off to have a word with the computer about flame retardant fibres.
