Subject: Well Grace can answer that one
As part of the rich social groups, Grace knows that it is not proper for someone of Steele status to NOT have a pretty young woman on his arm. We already know that he has bad habits with women (and those habits are most likely why the companion guild gave him a black mark) so he can't get a lady with his charm or money
Lianna is young, pretty, a media darling and has a father who really wants something Steele has. Sounds perfect for Steele needs and better yet, Lilanna can't run away.

Subject: You forget
Grace can hack into their security system and deactivate it, she could also send a very nice tip to the media while they are scrambling for security enforcement.

Subject: No offence to the PM
But I was talking with Vann and we have an idea and I am putting it here so we all can see it at once.
Grace can find the blue prints to the cruise ship and (maybe Grace can remember if Uncle Steel every told her what type of luxury ship he uses for this private yacht)print them. With Lilianna, the brother's and maybe Asante's help, we can figure out where the wedding is being help, we can figure out where they are hiding Daniel, where Templeton yacht is docked and where the wedding is being held.
When we arrive, Lilianna could kick up a fuss and ask that she be allowed to take two of the 'new friends' she made to her wedding (Angela and Catie). That way we have two members of the crew inside.
The brother's can go in and maybe with someone's help (like J.C or the Captain) and go get that 'package' of Badgers. We can lie and say that the brothers are bring Jon or J.C along so that they can determine if the package will fit with our very limited amount of space. We smuggle the still alive Daniel onto our ship and the brother can sneak off to find their colt.
Then either by sneaking her on or by saying she is 'assisting' Asante, we get Tess inside and she goes after Steele's yacht. Grace can (hopefully) hack into the system of the cruise ship and deactivate the security and Tess could pilot the luxury ship a good distance away or we let Asante and her crew get a hold of it.
Once we have everything, Catie and Lilanna can approach Baron for a meeting. Business man to Business woman style. We tell the Baron that we know what he and Steel is up to and if they don't back down and let Lilanna marry who ever she pleases, we are sure the media would love to hear about their darling Princess being force to marry someone against her will. Since we have Daniel, Baron can't use him against him.
Then for Steele, we hold his yacht, and whatever goodies that he is hiding in the yacht, hostage and we will only return them if he signs over the mining goods to Asante (or us so we can sell it to Asante for a nice chunk of money) If he doesn't, well I am sure there are plenty of gun collectors who pay handsomely for his guns.
Everyone wins in that way. Lilianna is free, Daniel is free, we get paid, the brother's have an opportunity to steal back their colt and Asante gets her lands and we keep our heads.

Subject: We are soooo not getting paid
Grace leaned towards Angela and whispered “Don’t worry, you aren’t in trouble. Nice job by the way, very impressive.”
Angela nodded, patting Grace’s arm to show her appreciation. As Jon sat down at the table next to the mess and the still quaking Lillian, JC nearby, he says, “Now would be a good time to tell us everything.”
Lilianna took a few deep breathes as Catie attempted to soothe her into calmness. The brothers helped Seth get into a chair by the table just as the Doctor put a vial into her hypo-spray and gave a shot to Seth in the back. “This will help but you will be a bit ... euphoric for a few hours.”
The Simons slowly moved to the doorway as if to leave and let things that weren’t there business be told. Grace was still trying not to laugh at the bodyguard but until he was moving again, Grace was going to have a hard time taking him seriously.
“Do I know Daniel?” Angela rather loudly whispered to Grace. Grace was going to nod and reminded Angela that Daniel was the name of the man with Lilianna in that photo, then her brain remembered where they had found that photo and panicked as Angela was the blunt member of the crew.
“No!” said Grace and AJ at the same time. Startled, Grace looked at the brothers raising an eyebrow at them. Lilianna finally calmed down enough to tell her story and it did nothing to impress Grace. The Princess had put herself in a tough spot and now wanted someone else to solve her problems for her. Oh boo hoo for her. She was far more interested in the bickering brothers.
“Rick!”
“AJ!”
“You gonna get us all killed.”
“No. I am gonna get us all help. We need help. You can brood for four days but in the end, we are over our heads, knee deep in Go Sa and covered in crazy sauce.”
AJ stared at his brother and then finally said, “Go ahead. Be my guest. We’ll be lucky if they don’t let Miss Super Soldier there paralyse us and stuff our bodies out the airlock.”
Grace glanced at Angela wondering if the woman was fast enough to do that without help. Though Grace doubted they were better fighters then six Tong members with guns…
Rick stood up. “First off, I’d like to say that we have no intentions of harming Daniel further.”
Lilianna screamed hysterically. Grace slapped her hand to forehead in dismay. Well that WASN’T suspicious…
“Nice opening College-boy. They teach you that in uppity crust school?” AJ asked. Grace was finding herself agree with this brother a lot. The two get bickering as they told their story and Grace was far more interested in their story but mostly since it involved Uncl- Templeton.
“All the more reason to believe it, Rick. Trust me. Templeton has the Colt.”
“Yeah. I am sure we will find it in a display case in his personal collection.”
Grace nodded and muttered “he might” under her breath. It was certainly Steele’s style and Grace remembered him always gushing over the newest gun he added to that collection of his.
Finally everyone had finished spilling their secrets (except a certain wedding planner) and Grace was going to challenge said wedding planner when she heard the Captain saying “We are about to Bie Woo Lohng”
Confused, Grace watched the captain refill his coffee. To her horror, he explained “We risk a lot going against Badger, the Baron and Steele. We need a classic "Sting" idea to get everyone what they want and still keep living, do you think you can use that Dao-Gao-Yee-Chi Moh-Gao-Yee-Juhn (Out do someone ) talent of yours to help me build a plan? JC...looks like you're back in covert ops."
"So, is that it? Last call for adding cards to the table. After all, if we're to try to sort this whole thing out, in a way that would work for at least those of us present, don't hold any back." Catie asked, giving a smile.
“Yeah, here’s something. Why the gorram are we helping these people?” questioned Grace. All eyes turned to Grace but that didn’t stopped Grace from speaking this time.
“I hate to play the mercenary here but we did not take this job out of the goodness of our hearts. We need the money to stay flying and, I care far more about keeping Destiny a float then getting Juliet here, back to Romeo. We do not get paid unless she gets to the wedding, and I highly doubt these brothers have enough on their credit roll to keep us going if we decided to help them with the gun, no offense boys,” said Grace shooting the boys an apologetic look before continuing “Not to mention that, if we do decided to help them we will have Badger, the richest man out there and, the second richest guy out there, who also happens to make guns, on our tail and demanding for our heads on a silver platter.”
Grace paused for air before pointing to Asante and saying “Not to mention we still don’t know what this one is hiding.”
(OOC: I assume Asante is going to try and defend herself)
“Oh please, I am not an idiot. In less than 24 hours, you have tried to seduce our Captain and, I would bet my favorite wrench you also made a pass at our gunman in the gym and you have just implied that you slept with either Baron or Templeton. You reacted far too strongly to the news of there being no kidnappers for ‘just’ a wedding planner, and you have a proof of your two or three year long career, but absolutely no background information like you have just appeared out of nowhere. I have seen you in only business suit which you clearly meant to make you seem professional but your choices of words is anything but. Professionals don’t call their clients by nicknames nor do they jump to try and sleep with random Captains. Speaking of your clothes, you wear business suits that completely cover your skin, which suggest you are trying to hide something. Clearly you aren’t ashamed of your body, considering what I have seen and heard, but you only shed your clothes where there aren’t going to be prying eyes aka your bedroom, and the gym that only a handful of us use. So I would bet that it is either tattoos of some sort of gang or the scars from being a soldier,” Grace turned her head and asked “Captain, J.C do either of you want to tell us which one it is?”
Once Grace had her answer, she gave Asante a very straight look that no longer contained any traces of tiredness.
”Please don’t waste my time by lying. If you haven’t noticed, I am very annoyed right now. I have just discovered that my job description has changed from mechanic to Big Damn Hero.”

Subject: giggle, giggle
“Angela no don’t kill him!” JC called out.
“Angela...wait” Tess called out. “Looks like Seth is just here to help and he lower his gun because there is no danger right now.”
Once Grace had managed to get around Pretty Boy, She was shocked to see a woman half Seth size, effectively knock a war hero to the ground. The Grace immediately noted that it had taken Angela exactly eighteen second. Before Grace could stop herself, she let of a startled giggle. Embarrassed that she had made that weird noise, Grace clamped her mouth shut, trying to suppress the giggles trying to get out.
Tess swallowed and then let out slight whistle, “Wow ... that was slicker than dog snot!”
Now the giggles turned to laughter, and Grace slapped her hand over her mouth to cover it and hide the noise but her shoulders were starting to shake with the contained laughter. Angela had knocked out Seth. Seth, the brave war hero, the one who had received so much praise for being so brave, who had gotten the bodyguard due to being such a good fighter had gotten his a** handed to him by Angela.
Stephanie walked into the galley, Good morning everyone I hope the ..." she stopped and looked at the scene of the fight, Lilianna crying, the brothers looking tense and Angela poised like a cat ready to pounce. "Oh my. Is this the fun part? Are we having fun?" She said quietly and then yelled loudly, "JON!!!!! WHERE IN THE GORRAM HELL ARE YOU!!!!!???????"
She moved through the room and came to Seth's side, "Someone get my bag from the infirmary please." She said firmly and then looked up at Angela and asked, "What exactly did you do to him?"
Grace could tell that Angela was tense and the telltale sign of Angela shaking her hands like they were wet was happening. Grace managed to get a hold of herself and coughed to clear her voice of the chuckles. Grace asked “Hey Angela, let’s get out of Stephanie’s way. Can you come over here and stand beside me?”
As soon as Angela was beside her, Jon walked in and looks around in barely hidden dismay. Grace did her best to try and keep the smile off her face and she was refusing to look at Seth or else the giggles were going to return. Jon immediately asked for details and during the explanation, Grace had to cough twice to hide her chuckles
“Rick, AJ would you be so kind as to help the good Doctor when she is finished here and carry this man to the sick bay?”
“Doctor”, he said with emphasis and respect, “please call JC when Seth regains consciousness.”
“JC… when Seth is able to understand please remind him again of the dangers of carrying weapons onboard a freighter and that his cooperation to leaves these in safe place would be appreciated."
Jon then walked to the kitchen area, refills his cup, sitting down at the table next to the mess and the still quaking Lillian he says, “Now would be a good time to tell us everything.”
As Jon order then about, Grace leaned towards Angela and whispered “Don’t worry, you aren’t in trouble. Nice job by the way, very impressive.”

Subject: Grace hasn't even finished her frst coffee yet!
Lilianna froze where she stood between table. Her face stared to become redder and redder and her body was trembling. She dropped the plate of pancakes she was holding and started to cry loudly. A desperate crying of someone scared and frightened. Catie moved beside Lilianna, and, very gently, enough to let her pull away if she wanted, tried to hug her. Grace’s immediate response was to roll her eyes and continue to clean up after her breakfast. She had no desire to be part of the princess pity party. As Lilianna cried there was a sound of running feet and Seth came into the galley with weapon in hand, but held up in check. JC and Asante close behind him
"GUN!!!" Rick screamed and he attempted to throw himself in front of Grace. Grace immediately stepped away from him and gave him annoyed look.
“Sir, I am the least of your concerns. Why don’t you go take care of the Princess over there?” said Grace, her tone sharp with annoyance. Too late, she heard everyone shouting for Angela to stop, and Rick blocked Grace’s view of what was going on.
"I WANT DANIEL!!!!" Lilianna cries out through the tears.
"Daniel?" AJ says his eyes going wide..
"Daniel?" Rick repeats with the same expression.
Frustrated, Grace tried to get around the pretty boy if only to figure out what the hell was going on!

Subject: Well actually...
Grace would have told you about what she had been told but she would not have shared the command words. The way Grace see it, those commands take away Angela's free will. She must obey those orders regardless of who gives them. That would make it very easy for someone to misuse or abuse the condition that Angela is in.
So to protect Angela from that threat, Grace has kept those commands to herself and also rarely uses them. I can believe that maybe if Grace has says certain ones often enough that maybe Jon and Tess have a vague idea that it's like a command but Grace has not told them "If you want Angela to do this, all you have to say is ...."

Subject: I hear Impala and think of Dean
Rick moved over to sit down beside Grace. He smiled winningly and said, “Hey, Grace right? I’m Rick, we didn’t get a chance to meet last night when we came abroad. So you are the mechanic for this ship? I have to say I have never seen a mechanic that was so beautiful before”
Grace glanced his way and blinked. There was no way that she had enough coffee for social interaction. A little too groggy to feel paranoid (yet), Grace shrugged at the man’s complement before responding “Well, how many mechanic have you met before?”
Rick's wide smile falters a bit. Clearly that line is not usually questioned. AJ muffles a chuckle. Rick clears his throat to cover himself, "Umm. Well only a few I would have to admit. So are you the mechanic in charge or do you have someone under you at the moment?" He suddenly turns a shade of red, "I mean working for you?”
That woke up Grace’s paranoia. Why did he want to know that? Was He planning something? Grace glanced at the other brother while taking another bite of oatmeal. Two against one if they planned to take the engines, not very good odds. Would it be better to say she was the only mechanic? No, safety in numbers and she really did not want to blow up the engine room again. Lying would not help, he might challenge her bluff…Angela does help her on occasion so it wouldn’t be a lie to say she had a helper... Though saying Angel help her on the odd occasion would imply that Grace was often alone, which Grace didn’t want Rick to think. Heavier jobs implied weakness and complicated jobs implied lack of knowledge… To cover the fact that she was thinking her answer very carefully, Grace snagged one of the pancakes and then answered “I do have someone who helps me whenever I need it. Do you have an interest in mechanics?”
"Somewhat. I have a replica of an earth that was 67 Chevy Impala. I replaced the entire engine with a fusion thruster from a MF-813 Hover MULE."
"Not a replica." AJ said loudly.
""Of course it was AJ."
"NO. Dad said it was in the family since the beginning."
"Yeah well Dad was..."
"Don't you dare Rick. Do not cross that line!"
A cold tense moment passes between the brothers and they seem to be communicating again without talking. Then Rick gets up, "Sorry to have bothered your meal, Grace, maybe we can talk later." and then he returns to his seat beside his brother looking all grim again. Grace watched him walk away with curiosity. Why was AJ so protective of a car? Grace tried to picture the car in her head trying to remember if that was a valuable car back on the Earth That Was.
Finally Grace finished her breakfast as she mentally went through the list of what to do that day. JC had gone to do some exercise in the training room so she should go check the room afterword to make sure he hadn’t accidently broke anything with that mechanical arm of his, the engines were fine so she was going to have some free time. She carefully gathered up her dishes before bringing them to the sink (it wasn’t her turn to do dishes). Maybe later she would invite the rest of crew to play some cards when they were done with their chores, but first things first, she had a car to look into.
(Thanks to Dad for helping with Rick's parts.)

Subject: Mornings and Grace do not get along
“Don’t you EVER think I’ve forgot what happened.. …I lost two good people. My ship. ….above all I’d thought I’d lost you…… We weren’t ignorant…..you’d check that cask …We all knew that we were taking a risk……The only thing we could have done was take it back. Is that what you want? We take the Princess back to Badger?…That will keep you all safe…and we can safely deliver cow dung from then on…..Don’t you think I’ve haven’t already thought of doing just that? “I also know you ain’t here to be safe, but there ain’t no job or cargo worth more to me than you’all….So if you want to turn around I’ll do it….I ain’t saying we stop listening and watching but we ain’t ever go’na know everything. So we just keep doing the job we were hired to do and cover each other’s backs.”
Grace was unaffected by the Captain’s retort. It would take more than that to make her back down. She stared back at the Captain with a straight face and said, “I was talking about gathering Intel, I wasn’t talking about going back like a Tou xiang Huai dan.”
Tess stepped in quickly, “Whoa. Okay. That’s enough both of you. The wound is pretty fresh but we gonna pick at it over and over it ain’t never gonna to heal. Captain’s right though, we took this job and we need to see our way to the end. I’d like nothing more than to ruffle Mr. Steele’s feathers but we need to keep flying and keep eating. I’m rather fond of doing both. Yet, Grace has the right idea too. Forewarned is forearmed as they used to say and I think we need as much forearming as we can muster.”
Catie immediately piped up with, "My sentiments exactly. We're lacking information necessary to make any informed action."
Grace face flickered with annoyance but she stayed silent.
“So Miss Princess has glommed onto Catie here so why don’t we use that? We are in the Black together for five days so I bet Catie can get the Princess alone for a spell.
Catie nods, "I'll certainly try to. The presence of the others seems to put her on her guard”
“If I was being forced to marry a guy against my will, I would be on my guard as well.” muttered Grace under her breath.
“JC? Maybe you can chat up this her Seth and see what he likes, maybe keep him distracted for a bit. He looks like the type that works out.” She then smiled a mischievous grin, “Then Jon here can pump the Wedding planner for information.”
Grace snorted, tying her best to not laugh at the Captain’s expense.
“I’m kidding. Jon can make some inquiries and try playing sly with her to see if she wants more than his body. C’mon. It is late or early as you may want to call it and we all need sleep. See what tomorrow brings us with some luck.”
The meeting shortly came to a close at this point in time. Grace waited little before apologizing to Jon for her choice of words. She knew she had chosen her words poorly and she rather not have either of them got to bed still angry at each other.
(OOC: Assuming Jon forgives her or wasn’t even hurt by her words)
Soon Grace was left in her room, with still some energy to burn. The mechanic ended up digging out one her old math book and ended up falling asleep on her textbook, her dreams later filled with complicated math equations where half the equations were in Greek and the bloody x value eluded her.
Day 2
Grace ended up waking much later then everyone else. It was nine thirty when she awoke and her stomach growled. Forgetting that there were passengers, Grace changed into a clean t-shirt and pulled her messy hair into a ponytail and headed to the kitchen to get some coffee and some oatmeal.
By the time she got there, everyone including the guests were already sitting and had begun to eat. Grace looked at the guest in sleepy confusion, before remembering why they were there. Grace sighed before continuing on her way to food. She had already walked in, better to grab her coffee and oatmeal, and then leave, then leave the room instantly upon seeing the guests.
(OOC: Assuming someone calls out a greeting or makes a comment about her finally being awake)
Grace gave a slight wave as she poured herself some of the now lukewarm coffee. She took a gulp of coffee before rummaging around to find the oatmeal and kettle. Soon enough, she had her oatmeal and she took her bowl to the table and purposely sat as far from the guest as humanly possible. Then she starting eating, ignoring any stares that she received from passengers. As soon as she had a good excuse, she was going to leave.
(OOC: I am going to ended it here but if interactions happen, I will post back. Right now, Grace is really groggy and is on auto-pilot. If people have cooked and served the steaks, Grace will take her portion assuming no one ate it while she was still asleep)

Subject: Sorry I took so long! School is crazy.
As Grace, scanned the luggage, a vague sense of disappointment was starting to hit her. There nothing exciting in the luggage. The only thing that had caught her eye was the small electronic device and the frame. Without thinking, Grace asked Angela, "You any good at breaking into luggage?"
Then Grace realized what she had just asked and mentally sighed. Her life had gotten so strange…Angela quickly opened the case except the one with the device.
"All these cases are unlocked except one," she said pointing to the case with the device. "All the combination locks are on the exact same numbers - I bet it is Lilianna's birthday too. Sloppy but she is a kid right?"
“Seriously? How dumb can she be?” questioned Grace as Angela handed her the picture. Grace examined the photo as Angela examined the locked case.
"I'm sorry Grace but I cannot open this without setting off whatever security feature is built into the case. Funny she'd have one case with such high security and all the rest unlocked." Angela said plainly.
Grace handed the picture back to Angela, "Yeah, I expected that. Okay. re-wrap this so it looks undisturbed and put it back in the case. We need to find the Captain."
The trip to the captain’s room was short but Grace’s mind was buzzing with ideas. What could that device be? Her natural instinct was bomb but that made no sense. They were being paid to deliver the passengers to the wedding. Her next idea that popped in her head was a tracker. That made sense as it would be a great way to make sure that the daughter was on the right track and if they were going to run off and hold her for ransom, it was a way to find them. The thought of the tracker was almost as scary to Grace as the thought of a bomb. Her instincts were screaming to get that thing out of the luggage and toss it out the air lock. However that would make it rather obvious that she had peaked.
By the time they had reached the room, Grace was very tense and about ready to turn around and go attack that luggage. She rapped rather hard on the door and Jon opened the door.
"Guess what we found Captain?" said Grace as she walked in. Jon raised his hand and stopped the engineer, "hold on". Jon went to the communicator and keyed the Bridge and JC room. Tess, J.C. Y'all better come to my room now. We got a meeting happening!”
Turning back to the room Jon started “How W’rin Bu Lai.” Grace couldn’t resist adding, “Whai W’rin Bu Jwo.” A deadpan Jon responded with, “Very funny.”
Soon the crew was huddled in Jon’s cabin, “Seems that Lillian may not be trusting her own folks, she slipped Catie a note asking for help. So something ain’t right there.” Looking over to Grace, “Now…your turn, wha’cha find?”
“On the minor side, Lillianna is in love with a ranch-hand and Seth knows about it, on the more important side, there is some sort of small electronic device in her luggage. I think it’s a tracker so The Baron can keep tracker of her.” said Grace rubbing her temples lightly, she could feel a headache coming on.
(OOC: Assuming some shocked reactions and someone wondering how she figured that out)
“We found a photo hidden in her luggage. Judging from the clothes and setting, it wasn’t hard to figure it out this was taken at her father’s ranch. It was obvious from the body language that they were in love and Seth was the one who took the photo. This photo is clearly personal and the only person who would be around her twenty four seven is Seth. As for the tracker, it’s my best guess. Its x-ray proofed, and it’s in the only luggage we can’t open, so I haven’t gotten a good look at it.” Grace explained.
(OOC: I will assume there will be some more interaction, I’ll add on if I need to.)
“I’m going to need you folks to give me some real good reasons why we should get mixed up deeper in this mess. If this rich girl don’t want to marry this fella, well that ain’t our business, our business is to deliver her safe and sound. We get paid when she steps foot on the liner. That’s Badgers deal and he’ll have to stick to it.” Said Jon
“Well, Captain, I hate to break it to you, but last time, we got paid to deliver some wine and not to ask questions. And you remember how that ended. Personally speaking, I don’t really care about that girl, but ignorance isn’t bliss. I think we should try and learn as much as we can so we can be prepared for when trouble hits. I’d rather know what to expect then wait for them tell us when they think it’s convenient for them. As the saying goes: knowledge is power.”

Subject: There is no Big Sister here
Seth Liang has a military background that reads like the Clean Marine. He was born to farmhand parents of one of the Baron’s Ranches. He joined the war and served on the Alliance side. He was wounded in battle and received a medal for valour for going back while under fire to retrieve four men that had been left behind. He was not Special Forces or anything beyond a soldier but he is noted for bravery many times and scored high in combat training.
After the war he returned home and went back to the farm until one day some hired assassins tried to kill the baron. Seth single-handedly defeated the assassins and saved the Baron’s life. After that, he served as head of Baron’s security until a few months ago when the Baron asked him to oversee Lilianna personally until the wedding. The gun he wears is a gift from Templeton Colt Steele and is a one of a kind prototype called a smartgun.
Asante Chang is a well-known wedding planner with a high profile cortex page (like a webpage). All Grace could find were captures and videos of her attending various weddings, an impressive list of satisfied customers, and some how-to advice for engaged couples. However, outside of her wedding planner stuff, there’s little information on Asante. No background, no history and no records.
Grace sighed as she turned off her cortex box. A war hero and a secretive wedding planner, though Grace was starting to wonder if that Wedding planner was some sort of second bodyguard. Photos, videos, lists and advice things were relatively easy to fabricate especially if one has the same amount of money as the Baron and Unc-…Templeton. Lilianna was important so having two body guards would make sense and having one a little less obvious made even more sense. Grace glanced at her watch and decided that now was the best time to lock the guest in and get that X-ray machine.
Grace got up and finished off the last of her energy when a thought struck her. Even if she locked the guests in, there is always a chance that one might have left their room before she locked the doors. It might be a good idea to have someone help keep watch…But who would be awake and willing to stand watch at this hour?
Grace immediately grabbed another energy drink and hit the button to auto lock the rooms. Then she went to go find Angela. To her delight, Angela was already in the Cargo bay.
“Hey Angela, got a minute? I need your help.” said Grace as she approached her.
“Whatcha need, Grace? “ Angela chirped, wiping her hands on her coveralls and stretching.
“I’m going to borrow Stephanie’s X-ray again, and check out the luggage. It helped us out of a situation last time and I want to make sure they aren’t hiding anything. Want to help?” asked Grace
“Uh, yeah, sure, I’d be happy to. Do we want to go get JC to rummage through any more makeup we find? Yeah, probably not,” Angela answered herself with a rueful shake of the head.
“I need you to stand watch. I locked the doors for the guest rooms but there is always a chance that someone wasn’t in their room. I just need you to keep an eye out for the guests and give me a warning when they are approaching. If it’s Tess or Jon or anyone else, don’t worry about them.” Grace paused before adding “Actually warn me if Catie is coming, I have no idea what her reaction would be and I really don’t want a stranger yelling or generally causing a fuss. Is that okay?”
“So, guests or Catie, warn you, but anyone else is ok…I think I can do that…sure!”
“Thanks! Okay, I’m going to go get the machine, I’ll be right back. Oh and before I forget,” Grace handed Angela the energy drink. “That’s for you, I remember that you always like my energy drinks. Not to mention if it affects you as much as does me, it’ll keep you awake for another four hours.”
That done, Grace quickly ran off to grab the X-ray machine and bring it back to the cargo bay. If she passed anyone, Grace would give them a cheerful greeting before continuing on her way. She grabbed the machine and the lead blankets before returning back to the cargo bay. To her surprise, when she returned Stephanie was there and talking to Angela.
“Stephanie? What brings you to the cargo bay?” asked Grace as she pushed the machine into the room. Grace noticed Stephanie’s eyes drifted to the X-ray machine.
“Hey, Jon told me to x-ray the luggage! It helped last time!” defended Grace.
(OOC: Assuming something along the lines of ‘I’m here to fill in Angela’)
“Did something happen? What do we need to know?” asked Grace in confusion.
(OOC: Assuming a ‘You don’t know?’)
Grace sighed before saying “Believe it or not, I don’t have cameras and bugs everywhere. I just have them where it would do the most good. I’m cautious, not a snoop”
(OOC: Stephanie explains the situation)
Not surprised, a Baron’s daughter is born with a target on her back. Now I am really starting to think Asante is a body guard. If he is doing all this to keep his daughter safe, he would be an idiot not to give her multiple body guards. Thought Grace to herself.
Upon hearing about the incident with Jon, Grace had to bite her lip to stop herself from laughing. Lady Luck does not like the Captain at all…
“Wow…and I thought my luck was bad. Any ways, thanks for telling us, Stephanie. Now I have a lot of luggage to scan and secrets to find out. Don’t worry, I won’t enhance the machine. Have a good night.” said Grace. Once Stephanie had left and Angela was ready, Grace turned on the machine and got to work

Subject: To Grace's credit
There are no cameras or mircophones in any of the bedrooms, wheter they are for guest or crew. Grace does somewhat believe in privacy. (May want to know people's secrets but she respects personal spaces.) So Grace knows nothing about Miss. Chang. However Grace is going to be hunting down Angela so she will be hearing about this through Stephanie

Subject: Lots of energy but not a lot to do
After J.C had taken the map, Grace was left to deal with the after effects of too much caffeine and sugar combined: way too much energy. The mechanic was feeling way too hyper to sleep but almost everyone else would be sleeping soon. Grace was pretty sure no one would appreciate her waking them up but she really did not want to spend the whole night in her room waiting for sleep to finally hit her.
Mostly trying to kill time, Grace quickly searched up the body guard and the wedding planner on the cortex, muttering to herself, “I’ll wait an hour or two, do some research and then go x-ray the luggage to see what they might be hiding.”
Grace glanced at the clock before once again settling back on her bed. The guest should be asleep in a hour, in which case she should auto-lock those rooms. That way no one would walk in while she was x-raying the luggage. Now all she had to hope was that nothing urgent was going to happen until then.

I don't think Grace has hounds unless she figure out how to make robodog. In which case I am changing her last name to Imahara

Grace is going to do some stuff but I haven't made the post yet.
Grace is going to research the wedding planner and the bodyguard while she waits until the guest are asleep. Then she will auto-lock their rooms, 'borrow' Stephanie's X-ray machine and go check out the luggage

Persephone, Diviner's Gulch, Day 2, 2:00 am ST
Grace sat comfortably on her bed with a blanket wrapped around her shoulders and her video feed in front of her. She casually dumped several pixie sticks into her energy drink as she watched the drop off. No surprise, the princess and her royal encore where not helping at all with the loading of the luggage. Though she was surprised to see two men immediately jump in to help she assumed they must be Badger’s men
“It is very ... quaint. I suppose one gets used to the smell?” asked Lillianna with a wrinkled nose. Grace glared at the princess’s image, suddenly very grateful for all those hidden microphones she had hidden throughout the ship. She let out a small growl before muttering “Da Shao Jei, this ship is not ‘quaint.’ This is the best ship you are ever going to look at.”
Grace resisted the urge to grab the speaker for the ship’s the P.A system as to verbally correct the Princess and focus on the luggage. I wonder if I can borrow Stephanie’s x-ray machine again… wondered Grace as she took a gulp of her very sugary drink. After all it worked the last time and it was always a good idea to make sure there were no hidden weapons. Grace also smirked at the idea of finding something embarrassing in the Princess luggage and posting it on the cortex for all to see. That’ll teach her not to call Destiny ‘quaint’...Though with all those boxes it would take her some time…maybe she could do it when they were all asleep (and locked their doors to be on the safe side)…
“I am not familiar with this class of ship – what is this? I require a schematic of the layout.” requested the body guard. Hmmm....she had a lot of fake ones lying around her room, (just in case someone boarded the ship), designed to lead them into some not so nice traps. She could quickly modify one quickly so that Seth could use it and not be lead to any traps….
Grace took another gulp before grabbing one of the said maps and two different colored markers. She worked on editing the ship map while glancing up every once in a while to see what was going on.
"I'd really like a tour of your ship sir. I have never been on a firefly before."
That’s it! In a move that Grace would later blame on the amount of sugar in her system, Grace grabbed the P.A speaker. She quickly flicked it on and said quite clearly (so she would be understood over the speakers) “This ain’t a firefly, Princess! This is a Whitefire!“
She made sure the P.A was off before muttering “Idiot.” Once J.C had been sent to find her, Grace got off her bed and carried the now fixed map up to the engine room. While waiting, Grace double checked some minor parts of Destiny’s engine, trying to shake off the feeling of annoyance.
“Grace Jon wants, if ya got one, a deck layout of Destiny for the Lady’s security guy.” said J.C when he arrived. Grace looked up and quickly handed him the maps.
“Here you go, once map for the security guy. Just tell him to avoid the places marked in red and stay out of places shaded black. Those places are…um…still being tinkered with and we hate for him or the ladies to get injured.”
