The Baron hardly heard the woman over the talking on the other end, so he opted to close the closet door instead of deal with the monster that was going to run in. "Well, I appreciate it, thank you... Nice doing business with you too." He ended the call and finished putting on his clothing before he stepped out into the bedroom again, "Hey monster, c'mere!"
---
Farin shrugged, "They bicker, but so do most married couples." He thought on that before he finally looked up, "Speaking of married couples, I feel like we're overdue for a bit more of my family..."
---
Titania finally gave in when she received an incoming call on her planner. "Ugh, my sister. Of course. Excuse me." She turned away to accept the call with a hiss, "What? What is so damned important?"

Jaez stepped back and out of the way as the toddler came rushing in screaming about something she wasn't sure of. As he made a bee line for his father she laughed. The boy was missing pants, or underwear. "Look he's just like you!" She laughed walking over and snatching the boy up. "Where are your clothes boy?"
~ ~ ~ ~
"Your family, Master Farin?" She asked looking up resting her head on his knee. "I thought the Baron and Ms. Titania were your family." Cella wasn't trying to be nosy. But she couldn't help that she was curious about what was going on.
~ ~ ~ ~
Cephnem awoke in Rockwell's room, alone, and hungry. Getting up she wondered down the hall to the kitchen. To her delight Rockwell was already in there. "Hey fatty. Make me food."
Rockwell paused "You call me fat then tell me to make you food? Haha. No." He turned back to the freezing unit. "Wee need more stuff. Titania and Michales didn't get s**t."

"Where are your pants, kid?" Puck lifted the boy and searched around to see if they might be in the room. Nope, he probably stripped in the hallway again. "I don't know what kind of joy you get about showing strangers your naked butt, but I swear boy..." He carrid the child over to their dresser where they always had spare clothing for this occasion. He then put the boy on the bed and redressed him. This time in a single-suit piece of clothing, to keep him locked in as he hadn't figured out how to discard these ones yet.
---
"I have three siblings," Farin replied with a sigh, "five if you count the ones by marriage, and they've all grown up rather dependent on one another's business so they never stay too far apart." He looked up to an empty control panel and shrugged, "Not to mention, last night we left a restricted sector after only a short amount of time in it. My sister never makes a mistake in navigation which means someone was onto us, and if someone was onto us, they were Anaxatarian, and if it was them, Puck's gotten involved, and if Puck's gotten involved that means in not time-"
"God damn it Farin, your stupid brother is sending Nana and War to join us!" Titania had reentered the bridge, lost all sign of her old Star Trek persona and replaced it with rage, "What the hell is this?"
"You didn't expect it?" Farin sat back casually, "You know how Puck operates, and you know Nana and War aren't far, so I'm not sure why it comes as a surprise." He turned his attention to Michaels, walking in after her, "Then again, I guess you've been preoccupied in the engine room?"
Titania just rolled her eyes, "You know every time that b***h gets on my ship she thinks she's the boss of it. It's always one critique after another until it ends in a fight and she's going to try and use her whole brigade status to commandeer the ship, she always does..."
Michaels took to her side, but only listened really as he waited for Farin to reply.
Farin shrugged, "Well, what would you like me to do about it?"
Titania sighed in defeat, "Nothing. Let me go make sure everyone's going to be on their best behavior for Mama Nana to join the crew." She turned and made sure to snag Michaels to drag him along with her. They arrived in the kitchen to see the other two hanging out in there, eating all of the food most likely. "Hey losers," Titania began, "My wonderful sister'll be joining us soon, so I'm here to warn you you'd better be well behaved. She's like ultimate space cop."

Jaez laughed lightly and helped to dress the boy as he made his attempts to get out of being fully dressed. "I swear he's just like you." She giggled and gave her husband a small kiss on the cheek before they let the toddler go to jump off the bed and begin pulling on the clothes. "I hope he grows out of this before he reaches adulthood though, or that could lead to some awkward situations."
~ ~ ~ ~
Cella stayed silent as Titania ranted. "I take it Ms. Titania and Ms. Nana don't really get along." Cella slowly stood up and brushed her new pants off. "Master Farin?" She asked softly, she knew he was trying to read, so Cella didn't want to take much of his time.
~ ~ ~ ~
Rockwell looked up from his bowl. "Ok sure."
Chephnem still hadn't forgotten the night before. "Fine." She said turning back to Rockwell and snagging another piece of fruit out of the bowl he had mixed up.
"You don't have much to worry about here. We'll be good." Rockwell said pulling the young girl's hand out of his food. "If you're going to steal my s**t at least use a fork."
"You big baby!" Chephnem laughed.

Puck disagreed, "I think it gives him character." He nodded as the boy waddle off, tugging at his clothing as he did. He turned back to his wife, offering his arm to her, "Shall we?"
---
Farin shrugged, "They've always had their minor disagreements but now they've had a big fight and so they'll try to settle it by each trying to dominate the other in a fantastic show of extreme bitchiness." He shrugged, "Anyway, they'll fight it out then eventually find something else to hate more. That's what sisters do."
---
Michaels sighed, "So, when are we supposed to be expecting your family?"
Titania turned toward the direction of the loading dock and replied, "Probably within the next few minutes, they can't be far away."

"It's cute now." The Baroness said taking his arm "But if he does as an adult? Think what everyone would say." She shook her head. "Defiantly nothing good." Jaez sighed and began to walk out with him. "Never mind that. Let's get something to eat?"
~ ~ ~ ~
Cella nodded her head slightly. She had always wished for a sister growing up. Though she did have a brother, he was hardly around what with him being older and a free man. Growing up a slave was hard enough, she had only wished for someone to share her troubles with. "But they're family, so they'll have to work it out, right?" She looked hopeful. "Family is really important." It never seemed to fail, you don't know how important something is till you lose it. Cella had vowed, as a child, that when she had children, that she would make sure they all stayed together.
Now as an adult, she realized how silly that was. She was a slave, and a slave to a man who had no desire for kids. Though it didn't bother her much. The idea of possibly losing her children would have crushed her if she ever got pregnant.
~ ~ ~ ~
"If they're just visiting then we shouldn't need to make a show for them." Chephnem said snagging the bowl away.
"Either way Cheph, they're guests. We should at least be polite." Rockwell said giving up and letting her eat the rest, he wasn't that hungry.

Farin shrugged, "Why does it matter? They'll probably fight forever, sure they love each other, but they're siblings, they're not meant to get along. It's not natural."
---
"They're not guests." Titania growled, "They're joining the crew against my will. Most likely they'll be bringing some others as well, and unfortunately we only have one spare room left, so someone's likely getting a bunk-mate." She grunted as she heard noise from beneath them, "That's probably them now."
---
As Nana was the engineering genius she was, and had the authority she did, she didn't need permission to board her sister's ship. So she docked the small cruiser in the bay and climbed out with her husband and the two others she brought along. "Come on guys, let's not keep the party waiting too long."

Cella was ready to challenge the idea. But her place as a slave stopped her from saying too much more. Though she could hear some noise from the loading dock. "I would assume that is the Master's sister?" She asked turning her head to the side to hear the noise and voices more. "Should we welcome them?"
~ ~ ~ ~
Rockwell stood from the table. "Then why don't we go say hi?"
More then happy to make the captain unhappy. Chephnem jumped up. "I'll go say hi!" She began skipping down the hall to go to the loading dock.
"She's worse then a dog I swear it." Rockwell sighed and picked up the bowl she had left. Dropping it into the sink to get washed. "Wanna go?"

Farin closed his planner and sighed, pocketing it as he stood and reached down for Cella's hand so he could pull her up with him. "Come on, then. Let's get this over with."
---
"Oh s**t, my planner's in the ship, you go on ahead, Titania will probably be the first down here to yell at us about inviting ourselves on board, you know how she is." Nana pat her husband on the chest as she turned around quickly and unlocked the smaller vessel so she could remove her planner from it.
War shrugged and continued on toward the loading bay's exit. It was always stuffy in there and rather dark as well. Especially when no one was expecting you in time to turn the lights on. You think at this age those would be automatic. He turned to the shorter man beside him and nodded to see if he would want to walk in first.
The green alien shook his head and gestured for War to continue, "No no, wouldn't want El capitano immediately questioning who the hell I am, last thing we need is her to think she's got pirates or something." He glanced up at War with a devilish grin, "Even though she does."
War rolled his eyes and continued, slapping the button to open the door. Before the door however wasn't Titania he was looking down at, in fact, she wasn't even the same species. "Uhm, hi?"

Cella took Farin's hand and stood. "Please Master Farin try to at least smile." She said with a smile of her own. "Master looks mad all the time." she kept her hand in his and gave it a little squeeze as she continued to smile up at him.
~ ~ ~ ~
Chephnem had been expecting a women. Not a tall muscled human male pirate, one she had heard horror stories about on her time on other ships. Gulping she took a step back, screamed and turned running back down the hall "Pirates! We have a Pirate infestation!"
Rockwell charged down the hall Chephnem came screaming from. A gun held steady in his hands as he paused to stop at a corner to use as a shield in case the pirates began to fire. "Who are you and what the hell do you think you're doing on our ship?!" He announced stepping out and holding the gun aimed at chest level to the bigger man. His eyes shifting to the green man making sure he didn't try and draw a weapon.

"Wow, a warm welcome. That is unexpected." War replied with a sigh.
Meanwhile the shorter man beside him was in hysterics. He was laughing so hard he had to bend forward and hold himself up with his hands on his thighs. "This is ******** priceless."
Titania had heard the princess screaming about pirates and decided to take a look for herself, that was the way she had been going anyhow. Luckily War was big enough that she could see him from the end of the hallway, but she also noticed Rockwell with a gun out. "Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing?" She ran to him and slapped a hand on the gun to force him to lower it. "Let's do our best not to shoot any of my family members today, alright? It might be an effort, I know, but I believe in you." She sighed a heavy sigh and turned up to War with a smile. "Hey big guy how are ya?" She made him lean down so she could give him a proper hug before she let him go to look around him, "Did Mama Nana not come at all?"
"I'm here, I'm here. What was with all of the yelling?" Nana squeezed between her husband and the man beside him, "Soren, honey, you can go ahead in, we don't want to crowd the hallway."
Soren bowed his head lightly and did just that.
Nana turned back to her sister, "Now now, what's with the face? It's not just you Puck doesn't trust, it's Farin too. Apparently he needs to be watched closely because of the whole open-firing on that last planet. Although I don't exactly see the problem, he was just defending his crew, Puck's daddy-in-law wants you guys scrutinized."
"So he sent a cop and a pirate? Awesome."

Rockwell shrugged and holstered the gun. "Sorry. Expected a woman first." Rockwell turned back to see Chephnem peaking from around the corner. "Are you going to come say you're sorry?"
Chephnem moved away as the green man walked past. "No way. He's a pirate. A bad one to! I'm not getting killed."
Cella picked up the pace to the loading dock when she heard the other women scream. What she came across was a normal warm welcome, and Cephnem hiding half way down the hall. "Uh?" She asked coming up to her brother's side.
"A bit of a misunderstanding Cel." He said softly to the women beside him.

"You're mistaken kid," War took a moment to address the girl, "I'm not a pirate, never really was. A hitman and a gun for hire, sure-"
He was cut off by his wife rather quickly, "Thank you, darling, that's enough." She pat him on the chest, "No, he's with me now, so he's well behaved. Well, outside of the-"
"If you say 'bedroom' aloud I'm going to massacre the entire ship and then blow it up." Farin had made the scene with a single brow raised, but a serious expression as always."
"Always such a buzz-kill, Farin." War greeted the smaller man with a half-smile, "It's good to see you too."
Titania smiled, "Well, shall we get to the bridge so I can close this door?"

Chephnem didn't look like she believed anyone and turned down the hall to disappear some where on the ship.
Rockwell turned back to the group. "Sorry for her. But excuse me. I'll be off. Cella why don't you come help me?"
Cella gave him a rather cold look before shaking her head. "No thank you."
Rockwell moved off down the hall back to his room to change. He planned to clean some of the ship's weapons. If they ran into problems they needed to be able to work properly.
Cella followed after a few steps behind. "I'll get everyone some drinks." She called walking tot he kitchen to make tea.
In no time at all Cella was done an joined the group in the bridge with a tray of tea cups. Lightly she set the tray down and filled each cup before handing them out.

"Cella, it's okay, really, why don't you just join us in here?" Titania gave her a weak smile, "If anyone wants a drink they can get it themselves, they'd best get used to it if they're going to be living here."
Michaels turned to where Rockwell was headed and made a face, "I don't know if he's as good as he claims to be, but I'd better go make sure he doesn't screw anything up."
Titania stopped him for a quick kiss before she sent him on his way with a light tap on the rear. "Take care of my ship."
Michaels jumped a bit and made an odd sound to accompany it but smiled nonetheless as he left the bridge.
Nana stopped everyone from speaking before she could put in her two cents. "Hold the ******** up. Titania has a boyfriend, what?"
"Oh my god, shut up." Titania barked back at her, "I don't need your bullshit."
"Does that mean you finally lost your-"
"Nana, you have three seconds to can it before I put you out of the ship with no air."[/color
Nana sighed in return, "Fine. Fine. I'll shut up. But I expect details in private."
---
Before either of the other men had gotten to the weapons room, Soren had found himself there and was giving everything a quick scan. All the while he was muttering something about how they could use an upgrade. He stood erect however when he heard the door open and saw another man enter. "You in charge here?" He threw his long braided hair forward over his shoulder and leaned forward to check between two of the guns, "It's nice, but not the best I've seen."
