BIG DAMN HEROES - a d20 Firefly Campaign [IC]

[ByteRynn]

After Beale walks out, Cash almost collapses in relief. He staggers into the medical bay, opens his own medkit, and starts trying to stop his own bleeding.

"Thanks guys."

After Beale walks out, Cash almost collapses in relief. He staggers into the medical bay, opens his own medkit, and starts trying to stop his own bleeding.

"Thanks guys."

Jon follows Cash into the Medical Bay.

"Well, I didn't do much. It was Helsinki who shot him. How're you doing, by the way?"

Jon walks over to get a better look at his wounded shipmate.

"Doesn't look so bad. Then again, what do I know about it? I was thinking of getting the ship patched up. After what Beale did to it, she's not taking off. We also need to find out what the real deal is with the Captain.

Jon pauses for a moment, considering what to do.

"Anyways, I'm going to check the mule and see what else he stripped off the boat."

 

[Shayuri]

Melara watches the man board yon Dragonfly, and her forehead creases slightly. Whatever trouble the people on this freighter have seen up til now, she thinks, it's about to come down again and worse.

Wasn't too late to walk away, come to that. She wasn't involved yet. Walk back to the callsheets and schedule board. Go back to waiting for her ship to come in and sleeping with the rats until her last cred ran out...and then what?

But if this ship was having a...how's one put it delicately?...-management dispute-, then maybe it'd lost some crew. Maybe even a pilot. And if it was coming with strings, that just meant they'd need her more, ask less questions, and she'd get a better deal. Let no one say Mel Richter turned her back on an opportunity just because there were a few problems in the way.

Cautiously, she steps onto the ramp and looks up into the exposed hold of the ship.

"Hey," she calls, "I'm not looking for trouble, but if you folks have settled on who's in charge, there's something you ought to know. If not, then come down once the bullets stop flying. Just save some ammo, because if I'm any judge, you're gonna need it."

 

[Watus]

Bastion walks up cautiously behind Kai and Win, his pistol drawn. He looks up at Helsinki.

"What the hell is going on up there," he shouts.

She slips her autoloader into its shoulder holster, and looks down into the bay. "Beale made me shoot him," she says. "Speakin' of which, he's headed your way and probably a little pissed off." She smirks.

Beale comes stomping down the foreward stairs into the bay, blood now flowing freely down his left arm. His heavy feet rattle the catwalk as walks.

Helsinki was right. He doesn't look pleased.


OOC: Beale is on the elevated catwalk which runs around the starboard, fore, and port sides of the cargo bay, ten feet above the deck. He is walking swiftly sternward with the obvious intention of coming down the stairs and right past Bastion, Kai and Win. I've attached a map to show relative positions.

 

[Rhun]

Kai cocks his head at Bastion, his own pistol tracking the angry-looking man named Beale. "Bastion, would you mind explainin' what in th' ruttin' 'ell is goin' on 'ere?"

 

[Watus]

Bastion turns at the sound of the shout from below, staring for a moment at the strange woman at the base of the ramp. He looks above at the irate Beale marching down the catwalk in his direction, and turns to look at Win.

"I wish to God I knew," he mutters.

 

[Shayuri]

Mel glances over her shoulder at the Dragonfly, then back up into the hold.

"Hello? Anyone in there? I just want to talk."

 

[Ferrix]

"Whatever it is, we'll get it straightened out." Kai watches Beale make his way towards them.

"Have you realized you're bleeding good man?" Kai says with a slight grin on his face.

 

[Lot]

Jon started to unpack the Mule when he hears a call from below. Grabbing his heaviest wrencg again, he starts jogging down to the cargo bay. He gestures to Helsinki and Cash to follow if they're still around.

"Who's down there? What's going down there?"

 

[Rhun]

Win shakes his head, a slight smile on his scarred face as Kai addresses the wounded man. His pistol still in hand, he gives Bastion a good natured nudge. "'Tis always somethin', I tell ya."
