Subject: Don't Cut the Blue Wire..........
Hastily, Lum found a panel and began to rewire it to run a bypass. The first attempt did nothing except turn the lights off in the hallway. Nimbly he reconnected the last pair of wires in an attempt to turn the lights back on.
(assuming the lights are back on.)
The sounds of battle were coming from the closed room and Lum tried one more time to rearrange wires to open the medical room door. This time he looked to see if there was any symbol, such as one matching the one on the door, that might guide him to the proper circuits.

Subject: Lunch....
Asher lay on his bunk and uncrumpled the piece of paper he found laying the corner of the galley. He'd served Sam the bill fair and legal like, but Sam had treated it like a joke. The kid remember what his brother Ben used tell him when told Ben he'd owed him, "Well Di-Di I'm gon'na put that on account because I'd rather owe it to you than cheat you out of it." The memory made Ash smile. "Well Sam let's just see how long it takes to get this square." Looking around his room at the locked weapons cabinets he chuckled at the thought of Sam trying to boost his guns now.
Ash had spent more time working with Fenris then he did with Sam. The kid's interest in helping keep the Roc flying was as now strong as it was when he bugged Kora to teach him. With all the new upgrades there was so much more to learn. Fenris was pretty tolerant but he let Ash know that when they were in the engine room his word was law. Ash was good with it.
The jobs had grown thin and there wasn't much funds to keep them in fresh like vittles so when Fenris's friend offer up to have them join the meal at his ranch Ash was more than ready. He could the meat frying as they walked to the ranch house. Mr. Sarafina had ushered them into the line so the kid had grabbed a tray and stepped up.
As he moved down the line he nodded to everything that was offered, with a polite, "Thank you ma'm". He heard the ladies start to laugh as the pile of food grew. "My but he has a health appetite..I guess it should give him stamina."
One of the younger girls nudged another, "I wouldn't mind testing that thought." They giggled as Ash looked up and smiled.
When Ash got to end of they handed his mug of beer, "Thank you..but would have a glass of milk?" The giggles rolled out again. "Sure..it's over there at the kids table." Ash look over to the little ones gathered, "Well I reckon they need it more than me, I'll take water, if I might." "There's a pitcher on the table and glass at the place."
Ash made his way to table and found an open spot. The ranch hands chuckled at the sight of his pile of food. He smiled, nodded and dove it. He could swear he heard a few of the hands taking bets on if he'd finish it all. Then the bets changed to how soon.
The crew sat with the workers and close to Eagle Eye at the long tables. Once some food was consumed and drinks were being enjoyed as some contemplated seconds, Wyatt decided it was time to broach a topic.
"Eagle Eye," the Captain drawled, drawing Sarafina's gaze, "Thank you, on behalf of me an' my crew, fer the meal an' company. Can't properly say how nice it is t' get some authentic grub in the belly, but it's been real shiny,"
"Heh," Sam chuffed around a chicken leg, "I c'n ruttin' improperly say if'n ya want."
"Hell Captain, if you been feeding Wolf here protein paste, I say it's agreeing with him. I swear he's double in size since the last I saw him. What are you lifting now Wolf? The ship?" Eagle Eye responds with a finger pointed at the mechanic.
"I don't mean t' sway conversation away from pleasantries, but there ain't no rest fer the wicked an', well, Roc's hold is now bereft o' yer bees. You wouldn't know, by chance, o' no one lookin' fer passage fer themselves'r some cargo, would ya?"
"I'd cotton ta anythin' ‘cept bees," Dash added, offhand, before lifting a mug of beer, "Those li'l wong bah duhn bunched me up an' made m' pi guh pucker,"
Eagle-Eye smiled and stretched, "Well Captain, I'd pay a sure pretty penny or two if you'd take our dear governor away in a burlap sack and dumped her somewhere where she might be appreciated more - like Higgin's Moon!" The comment brought a round of laughter from the table as well as a few not so polite suggestions of what else you could do with Patience. "But that would be more work than I could truly pay you for. I'm not sure to be honest with you Captain. I have nothing that needs moving right now. But why don't you and a some of your crew come with me to the Slaughterhouse tonight? It is a Rancher Lodge Tavern - Patience and her ilk ain't welcome. But there will be a number of ranchers there and I can make some introductions if you'd like. There is usually a card game going on if you'd like to join."
"As well, further in town there's a place called the Wreckage, which is where the salvage haulers hang out. They tend to be a close-knit bunch but you might pick up a smaller load that the Haulers don't want to waste fuel on. There is also the Co-Op store - Eugene might have a shipment needing a lift planet-side if you willing, or a pickup of goods."
The older Lady spoke up, "Mr. Sarafina. What about Mr. Potter? Did you not mention him the other day?"
Eagle-Eye smiled and snapped his fingers, "Right! Right! Thank you Mrs. Wilson. Well, I ain't sure you'll be interested but there is a fella hanging around for some time now, looking for a ship. Passenger and cargo he says but he ain't forthcoming on the details. His name is Potter, Paul? No, Saul, Saul Potter! Well dressed and very polite but I get the feeling he might be doing something underhanded. But what do I know? I really wasn't paying him much mind as I don't have a ship to fill. He'll be usually around the Slaughterhouse at nights - I think he tried the Wreck but salvagers don't like passengers - ask too many questions."
Wyatt turns to Sam, Asher, Jade, and Wolf. "The lot o' you interested in joining me at the Slaughterhouse tonight? We're keepin' our noses clean here, so don't go seekin' no trouble. I hear tell that Patience is some pofù an' we've precious li'l clout nowadays as is. Don' need no gov'nuh makin' life more difficult than it already is."
Between bites the kid nodded an affirmative.

That's a cool set of maps but they are different than the ones in "unoff_srpg_sourcebook".
This Arc book has Ezra and Athens (with Whitefall)in the same system (Georgia).
The unoff_srpg_sourcebook has Athens in the outer system near Miranda which would the "Blue Sun" system in the Arc book.
So which maps would be best for us?

Subject: In Harm's Way............
Stardate 2365.02.11 (Thursday - 42143.8 )
USS Peregrine; Shuttle Sierra One - 11:10
There are five beings in burnt and damaged clothing of simple make. Tunics of varying shades and earthen hues worn over breeches and knee-high boots. By clothing alone the beings are unidentifiable. There's no hiding the skin tone though. Orange to reddish brick in color with a ridged heads that are partially bald and varying lighter colors of singed hair, these are definitely Rytaini. Reid realizes that Captain's guess had been right and now they had the proof. Only after an interigation would they find the "Why" behind the sneak attack.
"Life signs are stable," Toriak frowns. "Except for one. Sir, I need to drop the force field to save this man's life."
The bodies laying in front of them appeared to be no threat. "Drop the shields."
When the order comes through hot on the heels of Toriak's request, the force field is dropped. Security stand at ready, pulse rifles held to at the ready, unsure of how to handle the captives' actions. Nurse Toriak immediately slips past the barrel of a rifle and drops next to the motionless Rytainian, medical tricorder in hand.
"Do not move!" one of the security personnel growls, but Toriak isn't paying attention as to who.
Scanning the prisoner, Crewman Toriak keeps the frown on his face. The results aren't promising. Brain damage and multiple internal hemorrhages have already killed the man. If they were back on the Peregrine, there might be a chance of reviving the terrorist, but here,? Not a chance.
"Drop it!" Another voice yells and there's commotion all about Toriak as the security personnel take action.
"Crewman Toriak to the Peregrine. Lock onto my signal and transport one Rytaini immediately to sickbay."
Their first moves looked as if they were reaching for weapons. John and nurse Toriak realized there was something else as the Rytainians pulled pills from the belts as muttered, "For strength and honor!".
But John was caught off guard when to rescued crew of the Stormspike started taking their own lives. He had prepared to put down a fanatical suicide squad but not a fanatical squad suicide.
"Stop them,don't let them swallow those things."
PO Tolaris turns in his chair to watch the drama unfold and see if he needs to participate in the mayhem. Charred and injured, the Rytainian terrorists producing small, white pills from their belts and are rapidly placing them in their mouths, chewing, and swallowing. Gold shirted crewmen fire weapons set to stun, others just leap forward and try to manually pry the pills from the aliens' mouths. Toriak's transporter request activates around the body of the Rytaini directly in front of him adding to the swirl of motion.
"This one is foaming at the mouth!"
"Here, too!"
Scrambling past the place where the body recently vanished, Toriak retrieves from his flailing bag a physiostimulator, placing it on the convulsing chest of the nearest prisoner while scanning with his medical tricorder. He can see the others thrashing about as the drug they've ingested takes effect, but is helpless to stop the results. The physiostimulator activates and the body jerks more violently, back arching against the charge only to drop to the floor once more. The Rytainian's eyes roll back into his skull and his head twists with such violence that the Vulcan can hear the snapping of the man's neck. Returning to his bag, Toriak retrieves another device and like an entertainer at a table, swiftly replaces the physiostimulator with the protodynoplaser. He drops the tricorder and uses his left hand to hold the shoulder down while he runs the protodynoplaser across the dying man's throat. The device's chirping grows louder.
"This one's gone," a worried voice reports.
"We've lost another."
"Stunning them did nothing to stop the spread of that poison," PO Tolaris' calm voice reports.
"It is a very concentrated dose delivered through nanotechnology that shoots through the system at an accelerated pace," Toriak replies, dropping back on his haunches and allowing his hands to fall into his lap. "This one is dead as well. There was nothing I could do."
"The transporter did not show the pills as dangerous. Interesting." Tolaris returns to his console to study the report.
"It likely wouldn't," Toriak begins putting his tools away. "The tricorder shows that this blend of chemicals is biological and specifically designed to work with the Rytainian biology. As there were no Rytaini aboard this vessel at the time of the transport, the computer would not have quarantined the pills."
"Well," Megan coughs. "As excitin' as tha' was, I'm showin' the Coronado movin' int' attack position. Yer orders, sir?"
"First we have to get the video of the transport to Lt. Berk."
Tapping his comm. badge, "Reid to Berk..stand by for a video transmission. The crew of the Stormspike were Rytains.. the video and the transported Rytain to sickbay will prove it,..Sir if you can get it to the Coronado it should change their minds,in the mean time we are putting ourselves between them and the our nearest Kuldar vessel"
John glanced over to Megan, her eye brows raised and a surprised look on her face. "Oh, yeah..it's time for us to be the big damn heroes. We may not be much but we are Federation and the Coronado will have to think hard to justify swatting us away. ,Petty Officer take defensive position between the Coronado and that Kuldar vessel ,,,..get us in harms way,..I just hope the Kuldar don't decide fire first,especially at us."
Megan let out a loud sigh, "Big damn heroes?.....well I remember playing that game at NCO school, so,hold on..we may experience some slight turbulence , then explode."
Nurse Toriak frowns, "Shinny."
Reid looked at both and smiled,"If we get back in one piece do I ever have a hologame for you."

Sorry for the lag. The last two weeks at work have been very stressfuland I've just been brain fried. I will try to get a post up. Asher will be a bit preoccupied thinking of Reavers, being he's never encountered them before. He'll be a bit snitty with Sam about his guns.
Just a passing thought, maybe Asher and Wolf might be interested in the bare knuckle fights. If there is prize money to won or folks to impress to get a job.
See I have ideas, just haven't been able to flesh them out.
Lordy..I've needed this LONG holiday weekend so much to chill.
I'm taking Monday and Wednesday off along with the 4th holiday. So rest, food, beer and friends might get me recharged.

Subject: Time..........
Over the six months after Sam's return life on the Roc seemed to regain an old sense of normal. Asher was glad to have Sam back, but as with all things time changes people. The loss the kid felt when Sam left was nearly as painful as the loss he felt for his brothers Matt, Ben, Jacob and Andy. Sam wasn't dead but Asher had never expected to see him again.
The kid did his best to act like things were the same, but they weren't. Ash was starting to realize that he couldn't make Sam be Matt or Ben or Jacob or Andy..Sam was just Sam. So it was time to let go of Ghuh-Ghuh and accept Sam as an equal. So one evening after the crew meal Asher slid a piece of paper across the table to Sam. "Sam..I'm glad to have you back and you're as safe here as your gonna get..so it's time for settle'n and squaring things away." As kid got up and walked back to help Ma clean up Sam unfolded and read the paper.
Sam Dash owes Asher Talhone the rightly sum of 220 credits for appropriating of weapons from Asher Talhone's personal property as showed below:
