Subject: Sokay......


Loki, I thought I'd do a little edit to my post anyway.

The more I thought it would have been more likely that the gun cabinets had built in locks and Ash just replaced them with the new techie locks. I'm going rewrite and have it so one of the three that one malfunctions and he can't get it open. That's where a bit of tech and device knowledge would allow John to whip out some fancy or regular tool to realiegn frequency, yadda, yadda, techie, techie, or basicly reboot the lock so it works. The more I thought of an external lock the less I liked that. Bolt cutters would get past them.

And this allows you to post as evens unfold. I would gather you helped Wolf and come in to do your turn as pilot but Wyatt pretty much would have settled on Tess. You do a couple more minor tweeks to help systems stuff, fix a food prep for Ma, a medical unit for Willow and then hear Ash cussing out the lock, stop by ask if you can help, bip bop. ,Bob's your Uncle and that's done too. Before you know it the crew is going to Wyatt and saying you're a mighty handy guy to have on board and the story goes on from there.

I'd had wanted Lightening Reflexes so I felt that Willow working with Ash on concentration and the lessons would improve his skills. Adding to pistols would come from the same thing. He helps her and she helps him to be quicker and more accurate. It would have added to hand to hand too but I put it in survival, working out with the doctor would lead to first aid skills for the thumps and bumps so he would pick up that and better reasoning too from meditations. His covert would rise from the same clear thinking.

Subject: Asher by the Numbers.....


Just so you know! This is from the character sheet Roger sent to me when I took over Asher. I have updated it for this new adventure.

Skills:
Animal Handling d4
Athletics d6
Dodge d8
Covert d8
Guns d6
Assault Rifles d8
Pistols d12
Shotguns d8
Mechanical Engineering d6
MeleeWeaponCombat d4
Perception d6
PlanetaryVehicles d6
Hovercraft d8
Survival d8
Unarmed Combat d6
Brawling d8
Ranged Weapons d4

So when Asher helps in the engine room he does have d6 skills.

He can handle the getaway vehicles too.

Subject: Renno.....


Beaumonde, Eisley Moss Space Port, 5:00 am

Rising early Ash took out the tools he had borrowed from the engine room. He then started removing the wall panels. There were several recesses that would work nicely………..
All through the morning Ash continued to measure and cut, form and hang, hammer and screw. When he needed materials he searched through the passenger rooms and storage areas and barrowed what he needed. The kid kept the door closed so none saw what was going on. Once Wolf caught him hauling some panels through the passage way and asked what he planned to do with them, “Oh just mak’en a new table and books shelf”, Ash mumbled as he rushed on the his cabin.

By lunch the renno was done, a new folding table was built in nicely to the wall with a two shelf book case inset to the wall. The kid stood back to inspect the look. He’d took time to be sure the wall corner seams looked original, you’d never notice the room was nearly a foot smaller. The three cabinets fit nicely on either side and a new set of shelves with securing latches and locks held the kid's gun cases.

Walking over to the table Ash reached under the table and released the catch holding the support leg. The leg slipped up into position and the table folded and lowered smoothly into a small recess. A slight push on the lower shelf and a slight tag on the upper shelf and top panel swung down revealing his newly acquired JC39 Assault Rifle/Shotgun, the ammo boxes tucked neatly to the sides.

The kid pushed the gun back into it’s hiding place and the shelves returned to their place.

Pushing the table with his foot he slid the lower shelf sideways into the wall revealing the cases to grenades and flashbangs. A light touch released the shelf and it cover the hidie hole.

The “questionable tools” of Asher’s trade were now more safely stored, it would take some special skills to find them. The only thing left was to figure out how those fancy techie locks he’d bought for the cabinets worked. He hadn’t listen closely enough when he got’em and now he had to figure um out. It had been pretty easy for the crew to get into his gear and now that he was back that would change. The locks were made to replace the builtin cabinet locks. It didn't take long to dismantel the the old locks an install the new ones. They had self contain power units and used bio recognition along with the encripted codes. It was easy to supply the drop of sweat, finger print and saliva need to set the bio scan. All he should have done was grab the handle and punch up the code. The handle had the bio reader and the code confirmed for access. He followed the instruction and programed each. The first two worked fine but the last one holding his faverite peace keepers wouldn't open. He tried to reprogram it but wouldn't accept the new setting. Well he had plenty of time, Wyatt was seeing folks to find a pilot so grabbing one of the locks he walked out into the passage to head to the cargo bay.

As he entered the way Wyatt was walking with some guy toward the Comm, as they passed the smiling stranger with the Captain nodded and muttered ,”Dude”. The gun slinger furrowed his brow but nodded back and then headed to the cargo bay to work on the new lock, maybe techie wasn’t the way to go. Taking a seat he spread out the papers that came with it and tried to follow the instruction. "Ta Ma Duh......Chwen lock.....piece of Luh Suh....Lio Coh Jwei Ji Neong Hur Ho Deh Yung Duh Buhn Jah
J’wohn." The kid just mumbled as he kept trying to understand the technical instructions to reprogram the lock.

It wasn’t hard to see the kid needed help.

Have John make in just in time for Tess to give her flying test, something blowes during the test, Tess has to do fancy emergancy fancy flying as the Roc starts to plunge toward atmo. Wolf's working like a madman to figure it out but it's techie not mechanical. John jumps in, sticks a penny in the fuse and Roc lands safe. Or something teckier.


Now Tess shows off her super flying, John his tech and cool head, all in one swell foop.

Subject: Fancy Locks....


I'd left the door open for Ash to meet John as he could be working in the techy shop that sold Ash his fancy locks for the gun cabinets. That could lead John to go look at the Roc.

I'll let Loki write the encounter of him and Ash in the shop if he'd like to go that way. Without to much dialog it could go along as he sees a young guy look confused over techy locks. Don't need to say they are Gun cabinets but he hesitates and calls them "tool" cabinets for "specialized" equipment. Something like need to keep nosey folks out and messy with the "calibrations".

Subject: Home Sweet Room...........


Asher had got the list of supplies they’d need to make life more comforting as they traveled the black. Doing the shopping was nothing new to him, he’d done it often enough. The simple mindless shopping let Asher think over the past few months.

A smile crossed his face when as he remembers the day Willow had almost shyly approached him and a asked, "Asher? Would you do me a big favour? I need a training partner who will let me throw him around...and I think I can trust you to not get mad about it." The thought that this gentle little lady could throw him around had almost made his laugh. His brother’s had taught him to fight… to survive when the only weapons you had left were your own two hands. He’d taken many a punch to the face and gut before he’d learned to block and punch back. Now Miss Willow was wanting to learn to fight, it gave him pause but he was also honored. When he meet the doctor in the cargo bay where she’d place mats on the floor he was a bit confused with what they were going to do. Willow told him of this “Aikido” thing that Lao Tsu had started to show her. She slipped a data disc into the cargo bay reader and showed the kid the lessons.

Over the next several months Asher found that this “Little Lady” could dish the damage and easily as she could fix it in the sickbay. First time Willow had flung him it had only bruised his pride, Wolf and Sam had happened by and their laughs stung more than the face plant into the mat. Willow taught Ash about meditation and concentration along with the skills they developed through the lessons Lao Tsu had provided. With this calm and concentration Asher found that his draw seemed faster and smoother. When they had landed Ash found a place to do a bit of shoot’n practice, it sure seemed his speed and aim were better. Maybe being thrown around by a lady had it’s advantages.

-------------
Ash had returned to his room after helping Trish store the supplies. He looked around at the gun lockers and case that were just randomly secured in his room. It had been easy for the guys and Sam to help themselves to his gear. The Kid also knew some of his “tools” may not be looked on favorably if authorities ever decided to search the Roc so he started measuring and planning.

During his next few trips town he picked up some supplies , include fancy new locks for his lockers and cases. Also he found “unused” materials around the boat that nobody would miss…… he hoped. So when someone inquired about what he was doing and what was going on in his room he just told them he was building a book case, they didn’t need to know it would store more than just books.

Ash knew that Sam had done a lot for Wolf and that Wolf’s felt deeply beholden to him for that, but Ash also knew debt. Wyatt had pretty much taken over raise’n Ash and Sam was more family than the Kid could claim this side of the verse. But liv’n close let the Kid know the bounderies and Wolf had just pushed it. So he paused when Wolf shrugged off hand and winced when he heard Wolf continue.

"Doesn't matter how hard it is if we don't at least try what does that make us cowards? For him to leave like this means he is in deep kimche and needs our help. Just because he's too proud or afraid of us getting hurt to ask for our help does not mean we just give up trying to give it to him!"

Asher walked away, but wasn’t surprised when to hear Wyatt, "Sam Dash don't exist, dòng bu dòng? (Do you understand?) He ain't never existed as far as you're concerned--any of you. Someone asks you if you know Sam Dash...well, the immediate answer that you better conjure up consists of askin' if that's some sort o' cookin' condiment. If'n I find out that you--any o' you--set on a path lookin' after that ta made niao (g**da**) fool, I'll ventilate your brainpan so that the goldpanners on Haven could use it as a sieve. Hell. I'd sell it to 'em for a bite of a protein bar at that point. Now, guan ni ziji de shi (mind your own business), and get t' work."
The Kid hoped the mechanic would understand Wyatt’s meaning as well as his words. If Wolf hadn’t been considered family the Capt’n would most likely have tossed him off the boat, but instead he spoke to all, to the family.

“What about looking for Sam we are gonna do that too right? Don’t tell me we are just gonna leave him alone in the black no matter what he wrote. The man’s family Wyatt”, Wolf pleaded as the crew receive their assignments.

Everyone in the room could tell Wolf was dead serious as this was the first time he had called Wyatt by his first name and not by captain. Wolf waited for a reply hoping it would be the right one...............

Ash walked over the mechanic, placing a hand on his arm he quietly said, “Come on….. Wyatt’s given us our job. You know Sam and look’n for him would be harder than …. Uh.. well it would be hard. He don’t want found.“

The kid turn walk to Ma to get supply list.

Well if Ash gets 300 credits for one share then he has to spend 206 to just replace the guns and ammo that Sam barrowed.
1 x PK12 Peacekeeper Pistols (60c)
8 x Magazines of Ammo (96 bullets/ 4c)
5 x Boxes of Ammo (240 bullets/ 10c)

1 x Colt .22 ST Pistol (20c)
3 x Magazines of Ammo (24 bullets/ 1c)
1 x Box of Ammo (48 bullets/ 2c)

1 x Justice Arms JC39 Assault Rifle & Shotgun (75c)
3 x Magazines of Rifle Ammo (150 bullets/ 6c)
3 x Cases of Rifle Ammo (300 bullets/ 12c)



Then 12c for a box of flashbangs and 12c for a box of smoke
bombs he took too.

1 x Boxes of Flashbang Grenades (12 grenades/ 12c)
1 x Boxes of Smoke Grenades (12 grenades/ 12c)

Now take 45 for mesh vest he got 25 left to go crazy with. WOWZIE!

So bank the 25, I'll wait for anything else. Maybe the next payday will go better.

Well if the plate vest affects the kid's draw, then forget it. I thought it just affected running, jumping and such.

Does Asher have enough money to replace Peacekeeper and the Colt.22 and the Assult Rifle? I'd replace the guns Sam took before adding the derringer if the money gets close.

Regina, Frisco, Day Ten, Planet Time

When Doc McGuire had finally let them leave Ash was so worried that Trish wouldn’t forgive him for staying behind. He was really glad to get on the Roc, he knew it was a mistake to ever leave. His heart hurt cuze it was pounding so hard when walked up the gangway. When he emerged into the cargo bay there stood Trish. Asher hung his head, Ma smiled and touched his face when he came back on board. That was enough, she’d forgiven him.

Three Months Later, Beaumonde:

Asher had gotten back into the routine of things on board. He’d been waitin for something, so when he woke and found some his guns and gear missing; he knew it was Sam. Sam had always taken his time when it came to his tricks. The kid thought he’d have to spend weeks searching the boat to find where Sam had hid his gear.

Storming out of his room and headed for Sam’s he shouted, “SAM DASH you Feh Feh Pi Goh! (Baboon’s ass crack)

Ghuh-Ghuh, (Big brother )I’m gonna get my stuff back.

He jerked to stop when he heard the Capt’n’s voice over the intercom.

"This is your captain,….. Sam Dash has tendered his resignation and will no longer be flying with us. It was a difficult decision for him, an' he wishes all of you his best. He had some fond nonsense t' pass on t' each of ya; which if yer so inclined t' hear I'll share it with you in a more confidential setting later. ….Meanwhile, this leaves us short a pilot and a job. So, git yer gear together an' git about yer day people. We got work t' do in order t' get back into the Black. I want to burn atmo as soon as possible."

Ash backed to wall, slid down to sit in the corridor. Sam had been like his older brothers, teasing and tormenting, but always there when it counted. Now he was gone. Well, he’d left too, he should have known it would never be the same.

Hanging his head all he could say was, “Aw Sam…………”

The kid slowly got up and made his way back to his room.
