33.93 was able to claim down his hyperventilating and prove to relatively stable disregarding his snaking and muteness while being escorted to the brig, upon arrive he simply slumped down at the counter of his cell and begin to fall asleep. Meanwhile, Jag entered the hanger to find what had come of captive. Passing both him and János as they left for the brig, Jag simply stood outside of the door in front of the rest of the crew including the vessel's newly appointed Captain. Jag simply straighten it's posture before her, awaiting any questions or demands to be barked out of her mouth.
"Well, that's more than we had before" Owen responded. "For the actual crew members we need two tire changers, a jackman, and two people for fuel for a minimum." Owen then saw Sledge's display. "Just a hunch, but I think you may do well as jackman. Oh, and I'll be glad to take your help as well, Freezy."
Yuga narrowed her eyes and took out her compass that let out her mechanized voice, "Your silence indicates that you expect me to have something to say. Very well, lets start with how you would explain bringing the prisoner straight to our base of operations without first reporting it?"
[QUOTE]"Your silence indicates that you expect me to have something to say. Very well, lets start with how you would explain bringing the prisoner straight to our base of operations without first reporting it?"[/QUOTE] Jag tilled it's head to left at the Captain's question. "I understand thatt, Captain Shuur. But yet I was not present at the time when you received your promotion and I have intact reported it to First Officer Caine the first time I entered the vessel, besides I have any taken precautions with the individual before entering the hanger. Including the removal of his tracking and identification unit from the rear of his skull along with maintaining radio silence as to avoid drawing any adverse attention to myself or the crew. Combined that with his crippling injuries, he poses no threat to us. Captain." Jag stated towards Yuga.

Pretty fast with lug nuts. You?" said Valkyrie, looking over towards Bucky. [B]....[/B] Taylor stood nearby, arms folded as she listened to Yuga and Jag talk. Yuga had a point, regardless of the precautions Jag took. The prisoner should have been dealt with off-ship. Somewhere secluded and out of the way. That way, if he escaped or was let go, he wouldn't squeal about their base of operations and its location. Too late now, of course, and that guy didn't look like he'd be going far anyway.
Maddox returned from his morning PT and took a quick shower before switching back to his BDUs, he decided to rest for a bit and watched the news inside his quarters.
A moderate chuckle escaped the compass. This was the first time anyone had actually heard Yuga laugh. "Mr Preditus, my promotion has nothing to do with this being a breach of secrecy protocols. And while I do not doubt you took the necessary precautions, it was a brazen display of disregard for mutual communication. There were strict orders not to take any prisoners." Yuga pressed a button on the compass which made the lid flip open, showing a holographic video-feed of 33.39's cell, which she halfheartedly studied. "But, I digress, the situation is as far gone as it is. While Abraxas has 33.39 as his responsibility, I bestow upon you that no unforeseeable exterior consequences arise as a result of him being held here. You will coordinate these efforts with First mate Caine." She but away her compass and began walking towards the door to go to the mess hall, stoppoing briefly in front of Taylor. "Observe the procession of 33.39 and keep me informed. I will make a personal inquiry into the state of Owen pit crew." She left the hangar and headed for the mess hall.

My endoskeleton is made for flexibility and strength, so I can do all kinds of work on machines really quickly. I can even drive screws without a screwdriver; my SmarkMatter skin is pretty moldable." Bucky replies as she pulls out her mini-comp to check her mail and messages.

Bucky replies as she pulls out her mini-comp to check her mail and messages.[/QUOTE] "Yeah, I saw that before when we were working on the car. Pretty useful." said Valkyrie, as she finished her cereal.
[QUOTE=Infab;50176700]"Yeah, I saw that before when we were working on the car. Pretty useful." said Valkyrie, as she finished her cereal.[/QUOTE] "Mhmm! I can actually change how I look as a human, and I can even ape some humanoid aliens, but I like to stay like this. It's how I looked when I got activated for the first time. I call it my baby face, as fucked up as that might sound." Bucky says with a chortle. "So you ready to show me your tats?"
"Interesting." Owen replied. "I don't recall seeing you do that, then again, I wasn't watching that closely. I imagine you may have to use an air wrench like the rest of us, though." ((Edit: Darn it, I was late))
[QUOTE]"Well, that went well..."[/QUOTE] Jag simply turned to face Taylor, glancing over it's shoulder at her face. "It doesn't truly matter, does it? First Officer Taylor, we must know everything that might aid us in the upcoming operation and I did my part to secure an potential asset." Jag stated, bushing off Yuga's words. Jag then looked over towards Abraxas, walking a few steps closer to the soft-carbon. "Have anything of value been recovered from the investment? Apothecary Abraxas." Jag said to the now unmasked figure standing in the middle of the hanger.
"As I stated in the public archives, Asset Protection is on to us, 33 has also stated that he is now considered a criminal due to his failure to assassinate any criminal, that includes us. As a result he is a man out of time." Abraxas answered. "We should prepare ourselves for any other surprises soon. Like it or not people know of our activities."
Frosty spoke to Owen. "I could work on the fuel team. If petroleum and gasoline are still used in this day and age then it should not be too different whenever I used to fuel my starfighter. Speed and pressure are not issues either since I recall many times having to do it while under fire."
[QUOTE]"We should prepare ourselves for any other surprises soon. Like it or not people know of our activities."[/QUOTE] Jag let out a deep sign from under it's cloak, taking second before speaking as it lowered it's head sightly to look at the floor. "It was only a matter of the time before the TriEnterprise's muzzled hounds picked up on our scent..." Jag said with rather quiet voice, it then rise it's head met with Abraxas's face. "If Enterprise's dogs are pulling shifts for the race then this '33' may still be of some use to us...Thank you Apothecary Abraxas." Jag stated before turning to look at Taylor. "First Officer Taylor, I recommend that you come with me down at the brig. Our investment might have some useful information left in him." Jag asked of Taylor.

"So you ready to show me your tats?"[/QUOTE] "Ready when you are." she said, shrugging and standing with her empty bowl. She went and put it away, before returning to the table. "Where to?" [B]....[/B] [QUOTE]"First Officer Taylor, I recommend that you come with me down at the brig. Our investment might have some useful information left in him."[/QUOTE] "Alright. After you." she said, unfolding her arms.
"Plus I'm sure you're plenty strong enough to maintain control while fueling as well." Owen replied.
[QUOTE=enigmarage;50175409]Owen then saw Sledge's display. "Just a hunch, but I think you may do well as jackman. Oh, and I'll be glad to take your help as well, Freezy."[/QUOTE] "Sweet, yeah, I can work a jack in a hurry. Reminds me of the old days back in New Phoenix when me and a few buddies used to swipe tires from vintage cars and sell them to the Mafia. Hearing those police sirens puts a real hustle in your bustle." Sledge chuckled for a while, then sighed happily. "Good times."
As Yuga was walking to the mess hall she felt that she needed to meditate on the current state of affairs. She entered her room and input a few lines into the rooms computer. When the door closed a holographic text could be seen floating in front of it. Questions directed to first mate Caine, do not disturb. She neatly hung her uniform on a rack placed her sword on the desk. After into some more casual garments, these too of traditional Ayr design, she laid down on the bed and slowly drifted into a meditative state. ((Gotta got to bed. They just called from the terminal and needed me to come in for the morning shift, aka 4 hours of sleep for me. Cya tomorrow))

"Where to?"[/QUOTE] Bucky stands up and answers: "Your place? My room is kinda messy." She smiles at Valkyrie and leads the way out of the mess hall while she stretches her arms a bit. ---------------------------------------------- Hariim finishes his preparations and checks for the day's operation, and messages Yuga. [QUOTE]Sir, preparations for operation complete. Standing by for orders. -Generalissimo M'baal[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]"Alright. After you."[/QUOTE] Jag did simple nod before heading off towards the hallway leading out of the hanger, heading to brig with First Officer Taylor in tow, [b]---[/b] 33.93 begin to slowly awake, letting a muffled coughing fit as he looked over the bland, small room he was in. Still tired both mentally and physical after the chain of experiences he had endured throughout the night.
[QUOTE]Bucky stands up and answers: "Your place? My room is kinda messy." She smiles at Valkyrie and leads the way out of the mess hall while she stretches her arms a bit.[/QUOTE] Valkyrie follows behind, yawning a bit. As they entered the crew's quarters, she saw the holographic text floating in front of Yuga's door. First Mate Caine? Huh, so she's still technically leading everyone but under Yuga's command. It'll be fun seeing her crack under pressure should shit go south. They arrive at Valkyrie's room, and the door slides open. "After you..." says Valkyrie, with a smirk.
János, in the time that 33.93 was sleeping, had been trying to think of a nice nickname for the guy. He had just managed to make one as he slowly awoke. János got off his chair and approached the cell. "Heya, 33.93," he said to the man. "Mind if I call you Harvey Tertio?" he asked.

And with that, the door to Valkyrie's room shuts. [B]....[/B] "We really need to figure out a name for this guy." said Taylor, as she walked alongside Jag towards the brig.
[QUOTE]"We really need to figure out a name for this guy."[/QUOTE] Jag let out a bit sign at Taylor's suggestion. "I don't particularly see the point." Jag said under it's breath towards Taylor. "First Officer Taylor, I think that is better that we don't further individualize the investment, maybe an short call name but nothing more." Jag explained as they both continued heading down to the brig. [B] ---[/B] [QUOTE]"Mind if I call you Harvey Tertio?"[/QUOTE] He shrugged for bit before looking at the man staring at him through the reinforced glass door, letting out a mutter as he cleared out his throat before speaking. "I..I Can't afford that..I don't anything to pay for that many litters." He commented in distressed tone towards the guard.
Owen nodded at Sledge's statement. "Reminds me of my old moonshinin' days. Sounds and lights of sirens in the rearview, drifting around corners, taking the odd jump over a crater. Fun times. New Phoenix, huh? Well, we were doing that moonshinin' thing back on the moon. Figure it ain't really moonshining otherwise, am I right?"

"Oh yeah, that." Owen said, "Might have something to do with me bein' 14 at the time."
[QUOTE]"I-I can't afford that... I don't anything to pay for that many letters."[/QUOTE] János laughed for a moment. "The name is for free, buddy," he told him in a friendly tone.
