RE: [JMC_Blue_Dwarf] Time to go

Katrina sat in the trailer, Jay's head resting on her lap.
"WE NEED TO GET HIM SOME HELP!" she yelled to Joe over the sounds of the engine, wind and gunfire.
"I know!!" Joe replied "Once we get to the Phoenix, we can try to radio the others!"
"You think he'll let you touch his precious shuttle?"
"I don't think he can do much about it!"
Katrina looked down at Jay, he was sweating, and bleeding heavily "Point...."
"Look!" Joe yelled, as they cleared the edge of the forest "There it is, The Phoenix!!"
He stopped the snowmobile and helped Katrina lift Jay out of the trailer propping him up between them on their shoulders and headed toward the hatch, neither of them noticing th dead giant hamster, or Jessie, beneath the Hot Rod.
Katrina fumbled in Jay's trouser pocket for the Phoenix' key, and pushed the unlock button, the hatch lowering to give them access. She lowered Jay to the floor while Joe dashed over to the control panel.
"Hello?....HELLO?" he said into the radio, after tuning it into the open channel the group were using. Nothing but static.
"Forget the rest of the group for now! We need to find Vanessa to help Jay!" Katrina yelled, tearing off the bottom of her shirt to bandage Jay's wounds, concerned for the pilot.
Jay, lying again across Katrina's lap mumured, regaining some conciousness. "I'm....fly...flying"
"Like hell you are Flyboy!" Katrina replied looking down at Jay.
"My....ship....."
"And? You're not fit to fly, you'll only make yourself worse...."
"Why the sudden concern.....thought you hated me!" Jay asked, struggling to keep his eyes open.
"Don't black out again Jay, keep yourself awake, you've lost too much blood!"
"Jay!" Yelled Joe, "Focus on something....um....how can we track the rest of the team.."
"VANESSA FIRST!" Katrina yelled
"Everyone" Jay corrected. "Kelly....will scan....for tracers/...bio-scans"
"Jay, if we don't find Vanessa now you could die..."
"If we don't find everyone else, THEY could die, how do we know Rufus isn't hurt, or Kevn, or Efof?"
"but Vanessa can...."
"Hey, she's my sister, I wanna find her too....but we gotta....prioritise...."
"But Jay I....."
Joe interuppted, he was tapping commands into Kelly, the onboard computer "Found someone!...wait..that can't be right..."
"What?" Katrina snapped, frustrated by Jay's stubborn attitude "It's picking up Jessie's tracer...but it say's she's....here?"
"Checked internal cameras?" Jay said, his eye's struggling to focus.
"Nothing..."
"External?"
"No....wait....there's something, underneath...looks like....the hamster?" Joe dashed toward the door "Katrina, give me a hand here..."
"But..Jay..."
"GO.." Jay ordered
"But you need someone here with you!!"
"I'll be fine for a few minutes, Jessie need's help as much as me...."
Katrina's face said it all. She really didn't want to leave Jay.
"Whats wrong?" Jay asked.
"Jay..." Katrina replied "I'm smegging CRAZY about you! I can't stop thinking about you, and I'm smegged if I'm going to let you die!!"
"Woah...." Jay said his eye's widening. "You know....you frustrate the HELL outta me....but, I guess...I feel the same way..."
Katrina burst into a smile and ran over to Jay, throwing her arms around him.
"Yeah...OW!!" Jay protested,
"Sorry!!" Katrina replied, opting to forget the hug in light of Jay's wounds and to kiss him instead.
Joe stood in the doorway, checking his watch. 
"Er guys....Jessie?"

Who: Joe CragginsWhere: Nuclea museaum in Siberean MountainsWhen: After last postJoe woke up with a start. Where was he? "Oh yes, I remember now" he said to himsel. Hed come in here for selter and a radio. He had wondered into a massive storeroom piled high with canned food. In a back room he had found a small radio with maps and charts with the poisition of the museam marked on them. He had operated the radio, left a message giving the coordinates of the museam and that he was lying low till the storm passed. After that he had settled down into the radio operators chair and gone to sleep. That was four hours ago. He got up, his back stiff and aching from being in the chair. As he stood up, he brushed against thge deck and something shiny fell to the floor with a clink. He bent down and found it was a key ring with 5 diffrent keys on. "Outside toliet, Snowmobile garage, Snowmobile, Main door museam key and Spare toliet door key" were marked on them on sticky labels. The snowmobile is what he needed. He walked back out into the storeroom, walked up and down the aisles untill he came to a rorough Iron door. There was a sign saying "Toliets, through here". Wrong door. He walked up some more aisles till he came to a simalar door saying "Garage, authorized personall only" in both English and Russien. He flicked through the keys and unlocked the door. Inside was a cavernous garage that more resembaled an aircraft hanger than a garage. A solitrly snowmobile with a trailer with a cloth ontop attached. He found a few cushioned seats, for passengers. Handy. He walked to the garage door and pressed a buttun. Thehuge door slowly lifted upwards and an icy wind blew in, but Joe could see the snow had stopped almost completely and a thick coating of snow covered the ground. Perfect. He got on the snowmobile, put thekey in the ignition and turned it. It made a rough grating noise and didn't start. He looked at the fuel gauge and the red line pointed to E, for empty. Great. He glanced round and noticed a near invisible shelf with tanks of fuel on. He walked over and piccked up a few. Most were empty or near empty, untill he got to the last one which felt quite heavy. He carried it back found the fuel cap and poured it in, wiping his fuel stained hands on his coat. He got back on the snowmobile and tried the ignition again, the engine purred soundly. Joe reashed the throttle, mapped a course to the ship and sped off, pulling the trailer behind him. Suddenly he heard gunshots near him. The bounty hunters! They must have found the others! He turned the snowmobile round and drove off in the direction they came from. A little bit later, he saw Jay shot down and Katrina dragging him. Joe caught up with them. "Hop in!" He indicated to the trailer and helped her lift himinto the trailer before starting off. Suddenly a Jeep carrered round the corner in front of them. Joe sped up. The two vechiles sped towards each other. At the last second, the Jeep careared off, leaving their way clear. "Chicken!" Joe called as they sped past them. "Easy on the driving!" Katrina called. "Sorry, Im still learning how to drive this thing! Time were getting back to the ship!" And they drove off at full speed.<tag>
