Awake
McGuire nods to that, "Which is why a good doctor is important to us out here." He looks to Carlisle, "You serious about joining up with us, knowing what you know now?" He looks to Zank, "You got my notes on him right? Seems like a good man for the job." Then back to Carlisle, "If he'll have it." <English>
Carlisle nods, "I used to rather enjoy target shooting. I fancy I won't find better options anyway so I am happy to stick around...at least till the reavers eat my soul or some such." <English>
McGuire grins, "Just your flesh. Soul's yours to do with as you please." <English>
Kyoshiro comes in from the Starboard Hall, he's still wearing the desert camo, "There's a target range in the Cargo Bay and also one outside of town." He mentions passivly. <English>
Zank laughs "hell im sure he's more likely to stick around if ya stop trying to scare him with Reavers and how awful our lives can be at times" he says <English>
McGuire chuckles to that, "Truth wont hurt. Best know what you're getting into from the get go." He pulls another drag. <English>
McGuire looks to Kyo, "How the wife Mibu? She coming along?" <English>
Kyoshiro is looking up and down the Kitchen, "She's still out for the count. Dehydrated, heat stroke... some other stuff that just boggles my mind right now..." He keeps looking for something, "Has anyone seen by bar of soap?" <English>
Carlisle says, "I don't frighten as easy as some, maybe more then others. I got a travel bar here if you need it, sir." <English>
McGuire looks to the galley, "Thought I saw a bar by the stove, but that was yesturday." He picks up his mug and takes a sip before setting the mug on the table and picking up his clip board. "Want I should order some Mibu?" <English>
Kyoshiro looks to Carlisle and blinks before looking to Fao. Then he glances to the stove where there is nothing to be found. He grumbles and looks back to Carlisle, "I'll just get a new one, thanks though. Trying to grab a shower and then heading back to my wife." <English>
Carlisle reaches into his bag and pulls out a tiny plain white package. "Its nothing fancy. I had a few extras from the hospital." <English>
Carlisle then remembers and tosses the bar at Kyo. <English>
McGuire looks to Zank, "What cabin we putting Doc into?" He looks to Kyo, "You're in Starboard two, aren't you Mibu?" <English>
Kyoshiro nods, "And you're in One right? So we'll have to stick him in the port hall somewhere. All the rooms are empty except whatever Sanoh and Nim are using." He catches the bar of soap and holds it up with a tilt in Calisle's direction. "Thanks, Doc..." Then he turns to head back to the Starboard Hall. <English>
Kyoshiro nods, "And you're in One right? So we'll have to stick him in the port hall somewhere. All the rooms are empty except whatever Sanoh and Nim are using." He catches the bar of soap and holds it up with a tilt in Calisle's direction. "Thanks, Doc..." Then he turns to head back to the Starboard Hall. <English>
McGuire nods to Kyo's remark, "Sanoh is in cabin four off the port hall." He looks to Carlisle, "You can get which ever one you want from one to three." He smiles, taking another drag from his rolly cigarette. <English>
Zank looks to Fao "The doubles will try to keep empty for now. try to keep things down to one person a room. Sanoh gonna need a double for her ,Nim an the new born. Willow has one of the single rooms, which she seems fine with." he says "I'm still in the XO cabin..." he says "So should be ok for them to..." he lets Fao speak "yea works." <English>
Carlisle looks between the men talking and continues his chores pulling parcels from stacks and moving them back and forth. <English>
Zank looks to Kyo "when she wakes up let us know Kyo..still need to thank her for that Sat she built and the coding. Plus be good to see her again." he gives a nod to the man "We'll be here if y'all need us" <English>
McGuire nods to Zank's words, "Not going anywhere anytime soon." He says in agreement. <English>
"Good because when she wakes up and it ready... I'm taking her to Jiangyin to see her family and get some rest." Kyoshiro says as he heads into the Starboard Hall to go take a shower before returning to his unconcious wife's side. <English>
Carlisle looks at Zank, "So, what should I be doing on regular routes like this? I cannot fly and I am not to be trusted with wires in engines." <English>
Zank looks to Carlisle "We'll...I'd start with maybe check ups for the crew build a file or update em atleast. Check ya stock like ya done here and tell me what we're low on so I can get it ordered from the new port we're in. Be on call for emergencies like normal and just keepin my crew healthy" he says <English>
McGuire chuckles aloud and looks to Carlisle. He says in an even tone, "Dust, clean the carpet when needed. Make sure your laundry is done. Re-arrange the medbay when you're bored." He shrugs, "Up to you. Weight bench down in the cargo bay with the firing range and sparring area." Then motions to Zank, "And what he said." He looks at Zank, "I just had a check up Cap'n, do I have ta?" <English>
Carlisle squints at Mcguire, "wait...did you say firing range? you don't actually shoot while in space do you?" <English>
McGuire grins, pulling a drag off his cigarette. <English>
Nim skips into the room, shouting something unintelligable, but it doesn't really matter since right behind her are the two women aboard the ship: Sanoh, supporting Vanessa. It's a little awkward, Vanessa being a whole wight inches taller, but Sanoh is grinning and glancing between Kyoshiro and Vanessa. <English>
Zank looks at Fao "yes you almost died the other day from vacuum exposure" he says and looks to Carlisle "some times, we have bullet catch behind the target an use training ammo" he says <English>
McGuire says, "Only Mibu has a weapon with enough fire power to breach our hual. We re-enforced the hual twice already, so even a glancing missle might not brake it. This ship was set up for combat, so our firing range is secure for the most part." His eye's widen at the sight of Vanessa with Sanoh. The cigarette gets dumped into the almost gone mug of coffee. He rises to his feet, as if ready to rush in and catch if needed. No words come to him, just a gapping mouth with those wide eye's. <English>
A height difference isn't really that strange of a thing to work with. Nor that difficult of a one, all things considered. It might look a bit awkward, but between the pair of them, they do find a way of making it work. Vanessa is somewhat bleary-eyed, for she's not been awake for very long at all. She has an arm around Sanoh, which is where the support comes in, but she's stubbornly on her own feet. She's still in the pair of jean shorts and t-shirt that she was wearing when she was rescued. Blinking a little bit, she manages a faint smile. "'m okay," she says quietly, lifting a hand to rub one of her cheeks. <English>
Kyoshiro comes back drying his hair with a towel. He's got his normal cloths on now, save for his great coat and perhaps his shirt. He's muscular, 300 pounds of it. Though not a tattoo on his body he's plenty scarred. A few gunshots here and there, one in the shoulder, a large one in the center mass and a few chunks taken out of his sides. Most of the old wounds though are from cuts both long and deep. "Of course we shoot... as Fao said, the hull is reinforced to take a direct impact from space debris at it's base but we have extra defensive hull plating as well. hat debris flies far faster than any slug of hot lead you piss out your muzzle. Even my .585 rounds from Junior..." Kyo blinks as Nim skips into the room then chuckles a bit. With a smirk he looks up to see Sanoh supporting his wife. His face falls, "Mei Yong Ma Duh Tse Gu Yong..." He rushes over towards his wife and helps her, "What the gorram ruttin' hell are you doin' out of bed." Then he shoots daggers at Sanoh, "And why are you helping her be a stubborn goat!" He looks to his wife, "Yeah and I'm the King of Londinium... Sit..." He says to her though, not that he would make her. <English>
Zank turns his head at the sound of Nim he looks over as Sanoh and Vanessa come in. He blinks and does the same standing. "Let her sit there" he says motioning to the soft couch in the lounge area. He looks to Carlisle "Check her out" he says to the doctor who's not a doctor <English>
Carlisle wasn't paying close attention to the conversation around him so when he hears his name he looks up. Saying, "who is sh....what happened to you, miss?" He turns back to the table and grabs his medpac and his mug and gently hands the woman the mug. "its mint and jasmine, it'll feel good." Then he proceeds to look her over. <English>
Sanoh is still grinning, if perhaps a little sheepishly. "Surprise," she says in a soft, sing-song voice. "Don't look so unhappy to see your wife looking at you, Mr. Mibu." Nim tugs on Carlisle's sleeve, poits at Vanessa, and says, "Hongse toufa! (Red hair!)" <English>
Zank shakes his head with a grin at Sanoh and looks at Kyo "She makes a good point" he says and moves to help if it's needed "Kyo can explain Doc" <English>
Blinking a little bit, an attempt to chase the bleariness the rest of the way away, her blue gaze settles on Kyoshiro. And she arches an eyebrow slightly at his use of Chinese. Shifting slightly, her eyes narrow a little bit. "Because without her help I would have stubbornly made my way here by myself, so be thankful that I accepted her help to start with," Vanessa says quietly, giving a small nod to Kyoshiro. She turns her attention to Sanoh then, giving her a little smile. "Thank you... for helping. I believe my husband is concerned yet," she comments, managing a faint bit of amusement. Then her attention turns back to Kyoshiro, and she gives a small nod. "Aye, I will sit," she says softly. And she does just that, tucking one of her feet beneath her as she does. Then she looks to Carlisle, lifting a hand to rub one of her cheeks a little bit. "I do not know him," she adds, her brow furrowing. She doesn't accept the mug from him, either, though she does give it a look before looking over to Kyoshiro. <English>
Kyoshiro grabs a seat next to her. It's clear that he's fawning over his wife quite like a husband should though their discourse was often rough for two very stubborn and indipendant people. He rubs her back as he looks between everyone gathered. "She went missing about a Month back when she came to visit me on Londinium furing Fao's trial. Willow recieved a map from someone and it lead to her, barried in some sort of coffin on Ezra, a single vent for air..." He looks to Vanessa, "What happened..." There is concern in that single crimson eye of his. <English>
Carlisle sets the mug down in front of the new woman saying, "My name is Carlisle and while I am sure the captain will inform you I am not a real doctor....I am the best he has right now. The tea is optional but you really should eat and drink some if you can. Also, since its very clear you aren't exactly in top shape, I believe it would be best if you enjoy a few minutes of company then please do go get some rest or we can leave to give you some rest right here." <English>
Zank sits back down quietly at the table watching the couple. He listens to there words and looks between them happy there back together but what happened is also in the front of his mind. He stands and moves to make himself a drinks. He makes two and brings one over to Kyo. It's a strong drink but at this point he figures he might need just one. <English>
Carlisle says as he turns to leave, "I will be in the medical center if you need me." To Nim he says "she has red hair" and hands her another mint candy. <English>
The shadow of Sanoh's grin is fading fast as the shining emotion that's been showing through her eyes reveals its true keen and intensity. She has set her pregnant bulk down on a stool apart from the reunited couple, all the joy gone from her, leaving her body stiff and tense as Kyoshiro explains how he found his wife. Even little Nim, gleeful with Carlisle's candy affirmation, seems to get the sense of a seriousness descending upon the room, and she goes to squat by her mother in imitation, taking turns staring at the expressions of all those present. <English>
There are times when they've butted heads, to be sure. Each of them are stubborn. She gives a little murmur at the feel of his strong hand there on her back, her eyes half closing as she leans a little back against his touch. "Mmm... it was that long ago?" Vanessa asks quietly, looking over to him. She gives a little shake of her head, lifting one of her shoulders faintly. "I don't know," she answers, looking to Kyoshiro for a long moment. She looks to the mug placed in front of her, considering it but a little bit uncertain. A glance is given back to Kyoshiro, studying him, but he's not raising a fuss about the man who calls himself Carlisle. And so, she reaches out to the mug, carefully picking it up with both of her hands before taking a small sniff of it. And then a tentative sip. "I have been resting. I have no wish to rest more, just yet," she says, looking to Carlisle. Stubborn redhead, she is. <English>
"You... you don't remember?" Kyoshiro clenches his teeth together. He can be inpatient sometimes, especially when it comes to Family being in danger and extracting justice from those who have done wrong to him and his. He takes a deep breath and lets it out, putting his arm around his wife's shoulder and bringing her in closer to him. "Perhaps you'll remember in time. Yes, you were gone for at least a month. Willow has some footage of some sort of crate falling on you then you just disappeared. We looked for... I looked. I mean I took out most of Londiniums underground trying to get answers." HE flexes his hand, still feeling the raw knuckle from mashing in so many faces. He puts that hand on one of her. "I tarted drinking again it was that bad." <English>
Zank just listens taking it in. He takes a sip of his drink and sits down next to Sanoh. He puts a hand on her sholder and talks quiet enough to to disturb the couple "you ok?" <English>
Sanoh shudders very slightly at Zank's question, as if only just noticing him so close. Her eyes become mistier and she swallows before replying in a thick whisper, "I'm okay." <English>
"Nay, I don't remember," Vanessa says softly, her brow furrowing a little bit. She notices that clench of teeth that he does, and she ducks her chin slightly as she lifts the mug to take a sip of the tea. As he puts his arm around her, she leans in closer to him, nestling against his side. "Perhaps I will. But, if I don't... that is something we may have to come to terms with," she adds, looking to him for a lingering moment. She blinks a little then at the last of his words, shifting her position to sit up a bit quickly, staring at him. "Kyo, no... not that... because of me," she says quietly, her voice near a whisper in volume. <English>
Zank frowns slightly at her response. "That will be you an Keo before to long" he says to the mother "Don't you worry none" <English>
"It's fine..." Kyoshiro says in a lowered voice to Vanessa, "Zank, Fao, and Willow went a few rounds till I put the bottle down again. Been clean seince. It was a stressful time and we all have our limits." He kisses the side of her head and wraps the rest of himself around her to pull her close. He burries his face in her red hair and takes a long breath in through his nose before saying, "I'm just glad you're back. We'll take it as it comes, yeah?" He glances over to Zank though and theres a worried expersion on his face. Whether it's because she dosn't remember who, what, or how she wen't missing and is missing time, or if he's giving a look to the man saying not to make promises he might not be able to keep. <English>
Reguardless, he looks like a lost man looking for answers on a strange planet he's never been to before. <English>
Sanoh stands, blinking rapidly and smiling. "Excuse me. Come here, Nim." She shuffles toward the port hall. <English>
Zank watch's Sanoh go and looks at Kyo knowingly as he gives him that look. He stands sipping his drink walking by the man patting his sholder as he does. He dumps what's left of the drink into the sink and follow Sanoh... <English>
"You're sure...?" Vanessa asks quietly, worry in her voice. She shifts the mug of tea to hold it just in one of her hands, and then she lifts her newly freed hand to lightly cup his cheek, her touch gentle. She studies him for a moment or two, and then she gives a small nod. "I suppose we do all have our limits," she says, a faint smile coming to the corners of her lips. She nestles in close against him, snug there at his side, and she rests her head against his shoulder nearest to her. "I'm glad to be back. And since there isn't really much other way to take it, well... we will have to take it as it comes, aye," she says, giving a faint chuckle. "I wish I had answers...," she says quietly, giving a quiet sniff. <English>
"There was no product number or manufacturing number on that case. Nothing, no evidence to trace anyone in and out. No idea how long you got there or how, who did it..." Kyoshiro says giving her a gentle squeeze. "We've been following a nefarious plot. Fao got sentanced but is allowed to Live with Willow as his keeper. Considering, he's far more free than most convicts of Treason seeing as most if not all of them are dead." He chuckles a bit at that. "But, someone had the Sentor beaten to a pulp and the Judges killed to try and make a martyr out of Fao. We went on wild goose chance over a missing case of drugs that seems to have been a red harring. Another control for us to to do something by an unknown power... There's been whispers of Blue Sun." He shakes his head, "I'm... not sure I want to admit I'm thinking maybe they had something to do with this." He pauses a moment. "Willow was following a lead on you and ran into another Operative. They got into a scuffle but parted ways ammicably. Then all of a sudden that map shows up in her inbox... just strange. I'll have to ask her the specifics of that lead." He nods towards the port hall where the others went. "Sanoh's Husband went missing too about the same time you did... He's some sort of Botanist." <English>
"Mmm... well. It seems to me that there are worse fates than needing to live with Willow as a keeper, all things considered," Vanessa says softly, nestling a bit closer against him. She gives a quiet little murmur, letting her eyes fall closed a moment. "I'm not going to pretend that I'm following everything quite right... I don't think my thoughts are entirely clear, yet. Almost fuzzy-headed," she offers, then gives a little yawn. Yet she lifts her head, raising an eyebrow slightly. "Blue Sun...? Somehow, that wouldn't entirely surprise me... they're large enough to accomplish something of that large of a scope," she comments, a bit uncertain. She blinks a little bit, confused a touch. "It seems... odd. That she would run into another operative. I don't know. No offense to him, but... why would they want a botanist?" <English>
"It's okay... we can always go over it again when you get better." Kyoshiro says placing a soft kiss on her lips. He lets her slips against him as if she was laying down, running one of his hands through her hair. "Operatives seems to be... beholdin to certain members of the Commity on Inter Planetary Relations. She is loyal to Lord Abernathy who is on our side. That other Operative may be loyal to someone more close to Blue Sun and interested in their goals." He almost hisses, "Governments make me sick..." HE takes a deep breath. "While I was mopping the floor with Londiniums finest scum Fao and Zank ran into a man on Bernadette <English>
"It's okay... we can always go over it again when you get better." Kyoshiro says placing a soft kiss on her lips. He lets her slips against him as if she was laying down, running one of his hands through her hair. "Operatives seems to be... beholdin to certain members of the Commity on Inter Planetary Relations. She is loyal to Lord Abernathy who is on our side. That other Operative may be loyal to someone more close to Blue Sun and interested in their goals." He almost hisses, "Governments make me sick..." HE takes a deep breath. "While I was mopping the floor with Londinium's finest scum Fao and Zank ran into a man on Bernadette He recited Monday's Child and told us we were simply pawns in a game. Monday's Child poem is aparently a plan and it was used when those Reaverites and their big ships started appearing. Im hard pressed to decipher what the plan is, far to vague." <English>
"Mmm... I'm not sick, Kyo... I'm just tired. And hungry. And thirsty," Vanessa says softly, managing a little bit of a smile as she looks up at him. She willingly meets the kiss he offers, leaning into it. Nestling anew against him, she lifts the mug to take a drink from the tea. "Well... some operatives might be, but... maybe not all of them are. I don't know. Just because Willow is loyal to Lord Abernathy doesn't mean all operatives have a noble whom they serve," she offers in a quiet voice. It's guessing, on her part. She really doesn't know. "I love you, Kyo... thank you, for finding me," she whispers softly, looking up at him for a moment before nestling closer to him. <English>
Kyoshiro nods, kissing her again. His lips pressing against hers longer this time and a bit more intensly. Though he's careful as he dosn't want to exhaust her. "I love you too... and you know I'd tare apart this entire 'verse to find you." He smiles softly and holds her close and tight against him. "Did you want me to make you something, did you need a drink." Though she still does have that tea. <English>
