Okay, I slide a bit to wrap into Tann's post.
Don't forget your belly wound and don't open it back up. Doc's on your heels, but he's working on bum wing.

Topic: Weird War II Subject: He'll fall for anything.....
Brutal steps forward with machine gun at ready. He takes two steps and suddenly the floor opens up beneath him with a loud crash as the false floor swings open beneath his feet. "What the Fff......." he cries as he falls into the pit trap.
Romo stopped short and Jack nearly rammed into him. He heard Jake fall into the pit and quickly reached for his flashlight.
Before anyone can scramble over to see if brutal is okay, there is the sound of someone calling out in German.
"Was zum! Schnell! Prüfen Sie, ob Sie jetzt! Sie zwei Cover ihn!"
„Damn Brutal, you’ve stepped in it again.“
Doc knew he still plenty of parachute cord in his pack to reach His mate but he didn’t know if they had time to haul that big lug outta there. “Duck and cover guy, sounds like you’re getting company.”
Doc scouted the perimeter of the hall to find a place tie off the rope, “Gotta save that boy.”
Sarges movements caught Doc's eye and he quickly understood the hand signals, only it hurt like hell to get down on his belly. Crawling would take a lot of shoulder movement and that just what he didn't have. Letting out a groan Doc slide to the floor. "Geez, now I know where the term "Grunt" comes from."

Topic: Weird War II Subject: He'll fall for anything.....
As the six of them quickly moved down the stairs, with Brutal in front followed by Romo, Reid, Hoffstetter, McGuiness and Luke it became clear that there was only one way to go. Coming to the bottom of the steps Brutal opened the door found there and still in the same order the six entered into a ten foot wide corridor going north for 20 feet and ending in another door. The hall was dark and musty smelling, with no electric lights strung at all.
Brutal with his Thompson at the ready took only two steps before the floor beneath him opened up and he was gone. "What the Fff......." he cried as he falls into the pit trap.
Before Romo could move to try and help him, the sound of someone calling out in German was heard from beyond the door to thier front.
"Was zum! Schnell! Prüfen Sie, ob Sie jetzt! Sie zwei Cover ihn!"("What the! Quick! Check that out now! You two cover him!")
(Ok this is assuming that what RP Noob posted about his actions happens.)
Suddenly as if on cue shots rang out from the door before them and Romo could tell from the lapse between shots they were from a pair of pistols, possibly Lugers, being fired rapidly. With a large hole in front of them and clearly a battle taking place within the room before them Romo thought quick. Clearly there were enemy troops beyond the door and just as clear was that they were shooting at something, what was unclear was just what that something was.
Looking behind him Romo signaled everyone behind him to fall back beyond the door they had entered through. Seeing Corban setting up his sniper rifle he again signaled everyone to lie down on their bellies to give the sniper a clear shot. Then slowly crawling along the trap doors edge, his Thompson slung over his back, a .45 auto in its place in hand and pointed at the far door, he looked over into the trap doors pit...........
(OOC: OK now that my full post is up you may want to edit your post Odyson as the only one moving forward to check on Brutal is Romo)

Well my post got mixed into Tanns. I was then able to repost and it came out as mine. I tried to delete my post out of Tanns but it wouldn't let me do it.

Topic: Destiny Flight - QnA Subject: Fill it out............
Okay Cel, you get your post up and if we hear from "Grace" I should have enough to fill out my post. You already have the jest of it.
Is the Tong vs. Tong idea any good?
I have a feeling that there are more folks wanting to waylay us, so this is just the beginning.
I hope to post tomorrow.
I've really been stressed, the sale of our company hasn't been approved yet by the court and already two of the office staff, purchasing and HR, have been let go. We are all very nervous about keeping our jobs. The buying company has a plant just an hour away, so we are worried they will just use their own people for staff positions.
OK, so I'm whinning, but I need to vent stress somehow.

Topic: Destiny Flight - QnA Subject: Tong vs. Tong...............
Oh I like that thought that there are high level Tong at the party awaiting delivery. Good plot stuff, if Al lets you drop names some then you can that to your post and Jon can drop the hint to Mr. Chung like he did when the Feds stopped us. Helps add to buff. Something like "The Baron would not want to disappoint Mr. Who Flung Poo and his other guests on his promise of this fine vintage." Let them mull over the issue of messing with the Poo Tong, lol.
-----------------------
BTW do these shipping lanes have a Speed Lane? We could do a bit of fancy flying to lose these guys in traffic and then head to an outer edge of the lane for a full burn to haul A**. Hammer Down Good Buddy!

Engineering stuff?
I'm figuring we are doing about a 7 burn now, if we up that to 9 the Arrowhead will think we are maxing out and follow. We can get them to waste fuel. Then if they try anything we can still bang an 11 or better if Grace has any tricks up her sleeve (and use points for better role).
Thoughts?

Topic: Destiny Flight - QnA Subject: Play dumb............
Well if you all are fine with it, I was planning a reply along the lines of,
"Well Mr. chung, you're only a day out of Greenleaf, I'm sure they have more wine ready. We have a contract and we plan to honor it so I'm sorry but as tempting as it your offer is a contract is a contract. We're behind schedule as it is so no offence but we gotta burn." With that Jon signals Tess to let'er rip.
Depending on how everyone else posts there will be a bit more dialog with the crew. Jon will be sure to say something to Ken about him agreeing to turning down the money. Some comments on Tess out flying anthing in the verse and so on...
Maybe Grace has some secrets up her engineers sleeve that could be helpful.

Topic: Destiny Flight - QnA Subject: Just a little....
Popped a bit of a post to start conversations and comments.
I'd bet if there is one Tong boat out there there are more waiting, so we just can blast it out of black. If we run and we have to defend ourselves, well that's different.
Of course they probably already sent word get out to the Tong that they spotted us to make the offer.
If word is out about the diamonds then I'm thinking it's now a race to get rid of load. We're going to have all kinds of friends now.
-----------------
Oops, meant "we can't blast them out of the black!
Gee I need to read my edits sooner, .

Topic: Destiny's Flight - A Serenity RPG Subject: "Space Junk"
Reaching the bridge Jon looks at the readout on the craft that hailed them, it is a Courier ship, Arrowhead class, registered to the Lim Wine Corporation.
Clicking the wave receiver on an image appears of an Asian man, black hair, clean shaven, something wrong with his eyes, one eye stares of in a different direction that the other. The captain does not recognize the man at all, "This is Jon Brown, what can I do for you?"
“Captain Jon. Pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am Wang Chung and I represent a ... company with interests in the cargo you are carrying – the wine casks.
“You have me at a disadvantage Mr. Chung, we just left Greenleaf on an unscheduled special delivery run. Our cargo was not common knowledge.”
“Come come Captain. The word gets out and it is a small ‘verse after all. My employer would be very generous in rewards to you if you’d entertain a proposal.”
(What’s the proposal)”You’ve seemed’ ta come a goodly bit out’a your way. I guess it’d only be polite ta listen.
“We’d like to buy the wine from you. A special price of 5000 credits a barrel in platinum, as compensation for any difficulties you might have explaining its loss to your current employer."
Jon tried real hard to not let features change as the sound “5000 credits a barrel in platinum” rang out.
“Ah, Mr. Chung, I’m gonna need a bit, you just hang out there, we’ll call back. “ With that Jon signaled Tess to break the wave.
The image winks out and Jon turns to the crew, “Rung Tse Song Di Ching Dai Wuo Tzo.”( Merciful God, please take me away)
“If we take the deal, we’ll never get another legal job and the Barron will see to it we go to jail. If we don’t take the deal we’ll always be looking over our shoulder for the Tong.”
“Ta Ma Duh!”
“Tess can we out run that courier, it may be hopped up? Ken, do we have bigger guns?”

You take care, please. Your health is important.
I've been super busy so it's fine if the stories stay slow.
Due to poor management, the company I jioned last December is in recievership and going up for auction on the 30th. The job is only 8 miles from my home, I was driving 108 per day to my last job so this company looked tempting because of that.
I'll have new bosses soon so that will be time consuming learning how thy plan to run things.
I hope I get to keep my job.

Al you take care of yourself, do what you need to do and we'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
If things get too slow I'll just have to spend more time in the Dragonchat Lounge. Maybe it's time to start a fresh batch of "Good Old Froth-n-Slosh".

Topic: Destiny Flight - QnA Subject: Captain needs his rest..........
I'd left the reply to the wave open to Jason and Tess. I figure I'd be awaken again, but the wave content would be filled in by Al.
I suppose it would make sence for Al to post that Jason answered and the Tess got Jon to the bridge.
Here's what might happen as Jon gets the call from Tess.
Once more Jon grumbles, "Ta Ma Duh, why can't things just go smoothly once?" Jon moves from his bunk and hits the com back to the brige, " Okay, I'm on my way." As he turns back to dress he mutters, " Chickens, got to learn to just stay with them chickens..."
Reaching the bridge Jon takes the wave mic, "This is Jon Brown, what can I do for you?"

Topic: Destiny's Flight - A Serenity RPG Subject: Not My Best Friend...........
Destiny Cargo Bay, Day Two of Journey 9:00am ST
Bone weary Jon drug into the Cargo bay to see what was Grace’s fuss this time. Ambling over to the barrels where Grace has Stephanie’s X-ray scanner he could almost feel the tension as Grace flitted around.
So what’s the How Shi Sung Chung? You know you’re only supposed to wake the captain with good news."
Tess stepped aside as the captain came over to the equipment. Jon gazes at the x-ray screen and can discern the hour glass shape in the middle. The pulled up image was centered on the screen and showed the distinct shape of cut faceted stones, “Ta Ma Duh!”
“Unless that’s some kind’a fancy filter thing we just found what that Gorram Marshal was looking for. The way he was a tapp’en that barrel he knows it’s there too, Ta Ma Duh!”.
‘Well I guess that explains why the Lady was on the bridge near my end of watch. Sorry Tess I didn’t say anything to ya but I was tired and didn’t want to add to the fuss. She was look’en out the main port as if watching for something out there. She seemed sad, liked she was expectin bad news. I don’t recall her ever on the bridge before. I hope she’s a mind to watch us and not a want’in us off her boat. This may be that bad news. We need to get this to the Barron as quick as we can and get our money. We can’t unlearn what we know, but we don’t have to act like we’re part of this. Tess, see if you can put a little wiggle on it and get there before something else happens.”
“Anyone else got anything from that gorram planet they need to tell us about?”
“Okay, then I’m going back to bed. Tess you got the bridge, tell Jason he’s to handle things, unless it gets dicey, then call me. But please don’t let it get dicey.”
Jon mumbles as he leaves the cargo bay, “Poisonings, Barons, Feds, babies, diamonds……., I’m start'in to miss those Ta Ma Duh smelly chickens.”
