Taking Charge

<SNIP>
Everyone blew out a collective sigh of relief as Jay pushed himself to his feet
"Right" he said decisively "Jamie, White Wolf: We need this ship's reactor core wiring into our main power grid. I don't care how you do it, but we need it sooner rather than later – I want us to be able to move under our own power within the next eight hours. Cass..." her eyes flicked sharply up to meet his "Would you mind working with Jade and getting Jaxx fixed up? – A deal's a deal and we're going to need him when we go back to Fernando's
"Kenneth: I want you and Prichard, wherever the fuck he's got to, to review the sensor data from the field systems surrounding Fernando's and work together on building a shielding unit that will stop us crash landing as soon as we enter the atmosphere; Cass mimicked the fields to keep the nanophage virus dormant while I was ill, so work with her notes if necessary"
"And what about you, Jay?" Cass favoured him with an expectant smile
"I'll help wherever I can"

After a through cleaning of herself and her outfit, Eve wrapped herself in a towel and hung her clothes to dry by a fan. Since her boots were easy to clean she put them back on to avoid walking on the dirty floor. Eve went back to the pilots chair to see the control panel. After releasing everything was cool she tried to relax as she ate a chocolate peanut bar. After several hours went by Eve put her dry clothes back on and then she fixed her hair so she could be presentable for Jaxx. Eve pulled the lingerie out of her bag and held them up over her clothes to see how she would look in each one. After seeing one she liked she put them back into her bag and went back to the pilots chair to see how much longer the trip was. After a short nap Eve woke up with the ships alarm that it had reached the Blue Dwarf. Eve quickly got excited as she hailed the others. Eve was gone for three days and was worried that she was gone to long. Eve wasted no time landing in the hanger and telling the others what she found.

After landing and exiting the Starbug Evelina looked at the trailer of parts and she hopped that they would be somewhat useful since she was clueless in the area of tech work and for all she knew she was towing a trailer full of vending machine parts. After arriving Evelina saw some of the crew was working hard on fixing the ship. Evelina quickly tracked down Jamie with her radio and told him about her find and hoped some of the parts would be useful. Jamie was amused by Eve scoring a lot of parts for a case of old Twinkies and hoped some of them would be useful. While talking to Jamie, Evelina found out what the crew was doing while she was gone for so long and that they were going back to Fernando’s to rescue Plisken. Eve had mixed feelings about Fernando’s but she understood why they had to go back. Then when Evelina was in deep thought Jamie also mention that Cass and Jade were going to work on bringing back Jaxx for the mission. Evelina’s eyes widened with joy as she hugged Jamie for the good news and ran off to the ship to grab the 10 vials of nanites and the box of lingerie. Then Evelina and told Jamie she had ten crates of curries in the ship for everyone as she headed to the medbay. Once Eve arrived at the medbay she saw Jade and Cass were working hard on restoring Jaxx’s brain. Evelina eventually managed to get noticed by Jade who told her to wait a few hours till they were done. Evelina gave Jade the 10 vials of nanites and thanked her and Cass for bringing Jaxx back. Tears of joy rolled down Evelina’s face as she hugged Jade and left to her room to put her box of lingerie up. After getting settled in and fixing herself up Evelina headed back to the medbay and nervously paced outside as she waited till Cass and Jade were done. After another hour or so an exhausted Jade and Cass came out of the medbay and saw Evelina nervously waiting for good news. Jade and Cass told Evelina that Jaxx would be fine and that it went smoother than they had hoped since he had little data memory to restore. Evelina giggled at Cass’s remark, as she was happy that her Jaxx was back.

Evelina took a deep breath and entered the medbay as she approached the medical bed. Evelina looked at Jaxx with hope and joy in her eyes as she ran her fingers through his blue hair. Jaxx slowly opened up his eyes and saw Evelina looking at him. Jaxx said, “Like how?” Evelina smiled and replied, “Ms. Jones and Dr. Black brought you back.” Jaxx replied, “I’m totally sorry I doubted her.” Evelina replied, “What do you mean.” Jaxx replied, “Its nothing Eve babe. Just dumb thoughts.” Jaxx didn’t want to cause any waves at this point since he didn’t know how much Cass told Evelina about their insane deal. Jaxx slowly sat up as he was trying to get used to his body again. Jaxx tested out his fins, then his gills and then his limbs only to get concerned. Evelina saw concern in Jaxx’s eyes as she asked, “Something wrong?” Jaxx was confused as he replied, “Not sure Eve babe? Was I like left or right handed before my most wicked demise?” Evelina thought about it for a minute and replied, “Left I think.” Jaxx shrugged as he replied, “Well I guess I’m like right handed now. Oh well life goes on.” Evelina then asked, “Is that the only thing wrong Jaxx?” Jaxx double checked and replied, “Um yeah I think so Eve babe.” Evelina smiled as she hugged Jaxx and kissed him passionately. Jaxx was shocked at first but didn’t resist Evelina’s advances. Then Evelina backed off and said, “Jaxx, baby I’m glad you are well and back but there is something I need to tell you.” Jaxx replied, “What’s that Eve babe?” Evelina made and angry face as she slapped Jaxx across the face and yelled, “DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU PUT ME THROUGH MISTER? YOU LIED TO ME AND BROKE YOUR PROMISE! YOU DIED WITHOUT MY PERMISSION AND I AM SO ANGRY AY YOU I COULD JUST........just” Jaxx was shocked by Evelina’s reply as he muttered, “Chill Eve babe I’m totally sorry I won’t do it again.” Evelina looked at the intimidated Jaxx as she calmed down as she took a deep breath and exhaled before she replied, “That’s right mister from now on there are going to be some changes.” Jaxx replied, “Eve babe you’re scaring me.” Evelina smiled as she replied seriously, “From now on you will learn to take reasonable orders from the others regardless of rank. This will help you get along with the rest of the crew. You will not be allowed to kill unless there is no other way. You pissed off the crew with your past killing sprees so from now on you will have to find another way. So unless Jay or I tell you to kill our enemy you have to use your brain. And last but not least you owe me a honeymoon.” Jaxx was nervous as he reluctantly agreed with Evelina’s demands as he replied, “Yes ma’am.” Evelina smiled as she replied, “Now lets get you washed up cause you smell like bait.” Jaxx replied, “Your so harsh Eve babe.” Evelina giggled as she replied, “You’ll get used to it.”

After Evelina helped Jaxx get to their room she helped Jaxx get into the shower as she told him what had happened while he was dead. Evelina told Jaxx they were going back to Fernando’s to rescue Plisken. Jaxx then got excited as he realized he was going to see Franky again. After his shower Jaxx was like a giddy schoolboy who was hoping to impress his teacher with his training. Evelina sighed as she told Jaxx he was hopeless but cute. Evelina also told Jaxx there was a chance they would not find Franky during their mission so he had to be prepared for that as well. Jaxx understood as he dried off and hugged Evelina. Then Evelina told Jaxx they needed to help the others as much as possible till they could get the ship working again.

TAG (Feel free to make Jaxx do heavy lifting and Eve can help Jamie with minor stuff.)
