[glow=red,2,300]This crate[/glow] Sasha then headed to the engine room, on the way all the lights turned off and she tripped over a chair in the dining room. She felt her way down to the engine room to consult Ant. "Gorram it Ant what do you think your doing?" She shouted, Ant came out from under the engine with a torch on his head. "Sorry but this engine would explode if I didn't get everything fixed and remove all the useless parts" "Well when your done fix the pilots console, can't doing anything" She turned and the lights flickered back to life. Meanwhile down in the bar Nathan and Alan had moved into a corner. They had been quietly talking when a short man came up to them flanked by two men who deffinatly seemed armed. "Are you the owner of that Firefly parked out there?" He asked in a strong cockney accent "It might be" Nathan replied suspiciously "Well I may have little job for you, Mind if I sit?" He didn't wait for a reply but sat down and placed his entwined hands on the table. "Now I don't believe I've introduced myself, I am Badger" "Nathan Sock, most people call me Nate" "Well, Nate, I have a job for you" "Oh really?" "Yes, it involves a certain cargo that I don't want the Alliance to take from me. I need you to take this crate to a man called, Davis on Whiteleaf. He owns a bar just outside the main landing bay. Approach him but not with the crate else he'll deny who he is" "I expect he would deny who he is if we went to the wrong bar" "Yes we wouldn't want that now would we precious. It's called the "Jupiter", this man is quite interested in Earth-that-was" "How much we getting paid?" "3000 platnum" "Thats quite a large amount, whats in the crate?" "I can't tell you that. Will you except the job?" Nathan thought for a moment, whould he risk getting imprisoned for contraband which it most likely must be "Have the crate at my ship by sunset" "Thank you, Mr. Sock, its a rather large crate but you'll get it by then" He smiled and walked off. |

[glow=red,2,300]Yeah ok.[/glow]
Three thug-like men carried the crate into the bay and dropped it giving of an echoey thud. They left before Nathan could ask them if it was from badger. He shove the crate to one side slowly, it was pretty heavy. When Nathan finally shoved it into a corner he stood straight and sighed then turned to see someone on the ramp glancing around inside.
"Can I help you?" he asked

"I think so," the newcomer said. "I'm lookin' for a job. I understand you're assembling a crew?"
"You understand correct," Nathan said. "What job can you do?"
"I used to be a Captain of my own ship," the girl said, drawing herself up slightly. "I'm easy. What've you got?"
"Now, a new co-piolet," Nathan said. "Welcome aboard...?"
"Francois DeMinicalle," the girl said, holding her hand out. Nathan shook it.
"You'll have to write that one down for me."

[glow=red,2,300]Fran-Swa that wasnt hard...[/glow]
An hour later Ant and Sasha came back dragging the new console behind them. They crew spent a further half hour trying to manuvre it through various corridors and stairs. Ant began to install it while everyone threw out what was left of the old one.
Nathans belly grumbled when he sat down at the table. Ant was already there with his head in his arms groaning about how tired he was. Francois came from the kitchen with some plates of rations. This didn't improve Ants mood because rations are basically heavily compacted bars of nutrients that can be altered slightly to improve the taste but are still pretty crap.

Sasha soon joined them, sitting down beside Nathan.
"New controls are all up and running," she said, having been testing Ant's installation work. "All fit and ready to go. Are we eating at all tonight or just nibbling these?" she inspected one of the nutrient bars distastfully.
"Latter," Nathan said glumly, holding his up to the light as though he expected to see through it.
"It's all you're getting so eat up," Francois said cheerfully, already munching on her own. "So where is it we're delivering this crate of mystery?"

"WhiteFall" Nate said then taking a bite out of the so called food. His face showed all his feelings toward it "Its a rim world, nice place though. To be honest I'm pretty interested whats in that crate. But its not a right to look inside a sealed crate, we'll set off in the morning"
Nate's version of morning was very early and the crew came out of their rooms feeling groggy. For breakfast Nate had managed to sneak out and get some proper food including eggs, bacon, oranges, sausages and bread. This quickly made everyone feel better after eating the ration bars. Soon the crew were about their positions on the ship. Sasha and Francois were ready to fly and Nate stood behind them.
"Ant" Nate asked the intercom "The engine ready?"
"As ready as ever" Ants voice called back
"Sasha if you please" Sasha flicked a few switches and slowly pulled up shakily, Nate grabbed a hold of what he could and Francios quickly assisted her. They eased the ship out and into space. "Lil shakey but not bad" he commented.

"Here we go," Sasha called, as she and Francois fired up the engines. There was a groan from the engines and the whole ship shuddered before lifting off the ground.
