After Earth - Episode II - Beyond Colonial Space.

Gaetanna smiled. "Technically speaking, data transfers which are resultant from hardware malfunction due to high powered scans from Unidentified Alien Species can't be prosecuted. Lucky for us both ships should have sensor data backing our claim (if we are pressed), so unless some Planetary council could bring in the crew of that disk, plausibility deniability is on our side.

"Surely saving all those lives is its own reward?" asks Solly in somewhat pious tones, although if you look closely you see the merest hint of a smile on his face. "Anyway," he pats his satchel, "I've got some housekeeping to do. Attending to those Syrrans used a lot of consumables. If anyone needs me, I'll be in what passes for a sickbay."

Solly heads down to the makeshift medical facility, where he restocks his first aid kit, then has a look over the Syrran medical tool that "fell" into his bag.
 

Pierce stops his overactive imagination and watches the Doc, with a curious look on his face, leave the bridge. He contemplates for a moment while the others debate the finer things in life, like cheese and wine he assumes, and slinks out through the door unannounced, following Solly about 15 seconds behind.

Making his way to the makeshift infirmary, he stops and leans his body in the doorframe, "Wanna take a look?" He asks from behind the man, displaying his scorched arm a bit.
 

Damon watches Solly and Pierce leave, and then smiles at Gaetanna. "Damn alien ships. Overall, I'd say we've had a decent day's work...a couple of hour delay, to be sure, but possibly quite profitable." Then, as if thinking of something, he frowns and raises an eyebrow at Gaetanna. "Regardless of what either of us may have wanted, you're a member of this crew now. I expect that you'll make certain that any reports you file with corporate don't incriminate any of us in any way?"
 

"Don't worry, I wont mention any of our illicit activities on the report considering the possibility that the report might be intercepted or leaked. Besides, I'm considering my current situation, I don't think my father would be too proud to find out that I also partook in the act of piracy." She stated as she lifted the female Syrran uniform from where Pierce set it down and pressed ti against her bodyr. "How do you think I'll look? Hopefully I could find a seamstress that could do the proper alterations while we're at port."
 


"A tailor might think it's a bit odd to be making adjustments to a Syrran military uniform so an Earthling can be wearing it," Melara points out, "but hey, I'm just the pilot. Do whatever. We're on track for Imperial Station and the scope's clean."
 


"My money can always convince the seamstress that I'm an entertainer who is dedicated to costume authenticity. Then if they ask me to prove it, I have enough training in dance to convince them. "
 

"Is that exotic dancing?" asks Damon, without looking up at Gaetanna. A hint of a smile is visible on his face.
