Light static fills the air...

Attention everyone this is your friendly neighborhood pilot speakin' please close anythin that might suck us all out into the vaccuum of space, as we're takin off the minute Charlie tells me I can without blowin the whole ship up, that is all...

 I still have an indicator light signalling that the cargo door is open... I was just wondering if the cap' was feeling particularly suicidal today... getting sucked into the black, while fun... is not on my agenda, bridge outRen snickers over the intercom before he turns it off

'Sit down or hold on, time to leave the rock behind and hit the black" The sound of the engines revving up can be heard over the loudspeakers

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's offical, no one is piloting this crate"

"This is your Captain speaking, we are due to land on Valon shortly, no one is to leave this ship unless yer on the sightseeing tour Geoff's leading ... and that means none of my crew."

"Ladies and gentlemen please buckle in, sit down, or do somethin so ya don't fall on your ass, we're about hit atmo and winds are lookin a bit tetchy down there. Thank you for flying destiny space lines"

The sound of engines warming up fills the air as over the intercomm the entire ship hears "This is your pilot speaking, we're takin off in 30, brace yourself"

comm: "Breathe easy, we've broken atmo, now someone has a story to tell me and someone else needs to tell me where i'm flyin"

"uhhh... cap' she and charlie are both a bit passed out right now, no worries though, i'm down here and I don't feel sick at all course i don' know nuthin bout' healin folk though... maybe we should set down and get these ladies looked at yeah?"

COMM: Captain, you let me know the second Geoff's back on.

"Ladies and gentleman hold onto your seats this is not going to be a gentle ride.

Having precured the meds from Londinium all onboard Destiny have been vaccinated.  The recovering crew took refuge on the Gypsy planet Paquin where they buried the two children, Sephone and Tate, who were lost on their last mission.  Now that everyone is back on their feet Destiny is looking for work once more, while trying to avoid a very angry Cortez, Alliance patrols, and Bosik's men.

"This is your Captain speaking, can I have all hands in the dining hall ... please?"

"Attention all passengers'n crew.  Destiny is loaded, refueled, resupplied, and just too pretty to be sittin' here anymore.  Standby to make her berth on the Captain's word."

"Roger that Little bear, Captain has said 'word'.  Please put your seats into the upright and locked position as flight will soon commence."

"Ren, it looks like its time to pull this boat over, if I could have you on the bridge please."

"Looks like we've reached our destination, all acrobatic, waitressing, theif-catching black walkers to the airlock please."

"Hey, mei mei, I'm gettin' some funny readings on engine 1, everything shiny in there?"

"Little Bear, 'Cacia...we're here.. but they're still firing .. I"m going to try and get their attention...hold on

"Ladies... hold on... I'm brining them aboard."

There was a long pause, and then some bouncing as he lined things up.. and one final bump as the shuttle locked into place.


"We got em...

"Doctor, we'll be needing you in medical as quick as possible."

"Reiner, Captain Galway and Charlene, could you all come to the infirmary? We are going to need a few pints of blood for Rhaef."

After getting their ship back the crew of Destiny began to pick up the pieces that Kyron had shattered.  Against most of the crews wishes Kyron was kept alive - although no official plans had yet been made for what to do with him when it became apparent that Wei-Li was falling into critical condition. Destiny needed medical help and fast.  They made way for the nearest planet at the time - Orisis.

He noticed that the intercomm, convienently near his bed, he presses the button. "Um, Red or Kale, can somebody come down here and fill me in, and maybe clear me from this gorram infirmary?"

"Kyoko I need you to take Lei onto your shuttle and go.  Now.  You have five minutes.  Don't care where you take her - we'll be in touch within the next few hours.  Acacia, get Wei-Li ready for medical transport - I want all hands in the cargo bay."

"Alright and landing in three, two, one." Destiny landed with a light bump and Ren began checking all controls to make sure everything was shiny. "And we're down."

After the fire fight at the Grand Yacht Party Kale worked out an arrangement with the Caddigan's.  Conveniently, the crews good friend Kyron Bates footed the bill with his bank card that he accidently dropped during his hijack attempt and which Wei-Li luckily found.  So finally the crew returned home ... back to Destiny.  Although slightly worse for wear.

They had been out in the black for a few days when Kale recieved a wave from his good friend and old professor, Walton Squires.  It was a pleasant surprise to recieve an invitation to his home on Regina and also to hear that he had a job for them ...

"Ladies and Gentlemen.. and Rhaef... we will be landing in just under 8 minutes, so smile and offer it up to the crew who brought us here."

Ren's voice came over the intercomm, announcing their impending arival.

"Well folks, looks like we are planetside.  Evenin' here on Regina so I believe dinner's in store.  If yer ready I'll meet everyone down in teh cargo bay."

"Ya'll plannin' on joinin' us?"

Ren Announced:"This is your pilot speaking."

The ships' engines throttled up slightly, enough to get a slightly lift.  before he continued.

 "We are about to take off for Athens, if you weren't planning on going there... Well, its too late as we are off the ground... eta 90 mintues."

There was a faint click on the intercom and after a pause Ren's voice came over the speakers:

"And that would be the outer marker for Athens.  If you want to hide any goodies or grab a quick nap... you have five minutes..."

"I need all hands in the cargo bay for briefing in the next five minutes, Kale out."

"Rhaef, Wei-Li, an' Geoff to the dinin' hall - we got some plannin' ta do."

  "Um, Captain, y'all forget to shut the cargo bays doors when you came back, cause we're sitting open to the world right now?"

Ren jumped into his seat, and punched the intercom, "Okay folks, we're going dark. Interior lighting the system to go off line. Charlie, get you tools. Kyoko, open the cargo bay door a bit, we'll need the fresh air."

"Captain, we're ready to break atmo as soon as Charlie gives the all clear. Best everyone start buckling in."

"We're right's rain, baby bear.  Sounds right'n ready, take us t'tha black..."

"Well folks, we back in the black, unless there's trouble, we should be at the professor's in a couple of hours."

"Captain, we've nearly reached the Professor's, do you want to  wave him with our arrival or should I?" Ren added over the intercomm.

After successfully delivering the stamp to the Professor and despite the loss of their first mate, the crew of Destiny headed back into the black.  Back to work.  A few jobs later has left them with a crate from Xiaygin to be delivered to Torrance Station.  They've just docked at the space station located on the rim.

Its now been almost a month since the museum job and Rhaef leaving - the wounds are healing but they haven't been forgotten yet.

"Charlie, we need ya in the cockpit."

After their daring escape from Torrance Station the crew of Destiny was left broken and beaten ... and one crew member short.  The mourning had just begun for the crew but they had to press on.  They dropped the young boy which Kale, Geoff, and Wei-Li had saved off with his father and then turned to Paquin for Ren's funeral.  It was a short trip that left all of them with heavy hearts but Ren's death had effected no one as hard as Acacia.  So two weeks later found the crew of Destiny on Osiris saying goodbye to their doctor.

And although he was millions of miles away, as Destiny and her crew suffered ... so did Rhaef ...

Ren's voice suddenly came on through the intercom:

"Ladies and Gentleman - although all of your lives hang in the balance of me keepin' my hands at 10 and 2, at Kale's request I'm making sure that each and every one of you knows that we got us a wave comin' through.  This message was brought to you by your chief communications specialist - oh ya, and I'm the guy that happens to be flyin' this crate."

"I need all hands on the bridge.  Now.  We got us a situation."

”Um….Thank….you.   Waiting on word from the cargo bay before lift off.”

"We’re locked up tight"

With the bay doors shut and Dake's capable hands at the yoke Destiny left Osiris behind - if only they could leave the painful memories there with it ...

The black was a welcome change from the core world which always made the crew uneasy.  But they all knew that peril lay ahead.  Rhaef was in danger and it there job to go save him.  However this was the most divided the crew had been since the first day Destiny took to the sky.  There was a lot of patching up to do before they reached Beaumonde and had to once again work as a team.

"Captain, if you could come to the bridge, I've got some news I think you might just like to hear..."

"Dake, it's Wei-Li.  Boss says were getting out of here.  We're on our way now."

The crew of Destiny has finally managed to get itself back on its feet.  After a trying past few months things are starting to go back to normal.  The absence of Ren and Acacia is still felt but the ships newest members have begun to find a home on board the old freighter.  Most relationships have been mended and although there are still some unanswered questions between members of the crew life has been peaceful.

However, after a few months of excitement and trials the crew has discovered that the cash flow has come to a sputtering halt.  The crew needs a job and soon.  First rule of the black is to keep flying.  Fortunately, one of Kale's contacts managed to put him in touch with the infamous Sin Twins.  The girls are probably the most ... unpredictable of contacts, one can never be quite certain what they're getting into when dealing with them.  But one thing is for certain, the pay-out is always good.  The crew has set up a meeting with the twins in a casino on Santo to get more details about the possible job.
