Welcome to Gaia! ::

Erin had minded her business for the majority of the day. Why the captain would let her drink this heavily when he knew that unification day would almost inevitably end with them taking off from the planet before the feds arrived, she didn't know, but judging by the raising tab she had created, she had made sure to capitalize on that fact.

Erin's fine black brow raised as the man continued chastising the captain as if to ask Stephan if he was going to be able to swallow his pride. Nope. She rolled her eyes at him from her place at the bar as she downed the last of her pint. The fight seemed to find its way around her, maybe even the drunks felt pity on the cripple. Too bad she didn't have the same sentiment. She grabbed her glass and waited until the person running towards Stephan was within range, then she extended her arm shattering the glass using the man's nose.

"Good timing, I was getting tired of this place anyway, beer tastes like da shiong la se la ch'wahn tian" She said as she stood from her bar stool, and moved towards the epicenter of the fight. One of the few great things about her legs, even when she would barely be able to stand, the stabilizers kept her stable.

She made her way to the crew's muscle, and grabbed a bottle of scotch on her way. "Heya big guy." She slurred to Shell as the bottle broke across the back of one of the brawlers' skulls.

Her flawless fight was over pretty quickly as one of the Pro-alliance shifted his attention away from Shell, and took a cheap shot for her leg knocking her to the ground, but causing a great deal of pain in his foot as well.

"Gāisǐ, where did he get off too." Yuri said as he walked through the ship. "Where could he be?" he said as he smacked himself on the forehead,"Of course the Bar!" he said rushing to the bar his sword bouncing off his back as he ran. Walking into the bar as a bar stool flew past his head over the pool table into some guys face. "Captain Spatuck here you are running away from me as usual." he said to him tapping his foot. "Don't you have some captainly duties to attend to." he said to him he knew how the captain like to skip out on things he thought were unimportant.

Walking next to him at the bar he grabbed a stool and sat down,"I'll wait for you to finish your fun." he said he could never win these arguments so he just decided to wait till he was done. Yang stat there pulling his long hair back into a Ponytail,"I'd like some Gao Liang jiu." he said as he received some wine made out of wheat and barley. sipping on it he waited for the captain to finish his fun.

Shell gave the lady a smile, and in his distraction took another sock in the jaw. He snapped his attention to the man, but his eyes went back to Erin as a guy kicked her leg out. Meanwhile, his opponent gave him another good punch. He was beginning to get frustrated now. He kneed the man in the gut then delivered a swift punch to the back of his neck.
He had to handle these yokels quick now, else Erin's trigger finger was like to get a might too itchy. A guy came up with a knife and Shell relieved him of it and stabbed it into the pool table. The following few scuffles were in the fumble to retrieve it from that place, so Shell picked a guy up and dropped him on the hilt, driving it plain through so no one could get it out. He turned back to deal with a few more brawlers, but before he could get an opening to help Erin out he spotted two guys going at pulling free that knife at once. They might have worked it loose given enough time. Shell didn't give them enough time. He flipped that table up so they were knocked right off, then he pushed it back and sandwiched the two between the table and the wall.
Another guy threw himself at Shell, but Shell ducked out of the way and winced as the man drove himself straight onto that knife sticking out of the underside of the table. Finally finding himself with a bit of a reprieve, he yanked that man assailing Erin right off and threw him over the bar before pulling the woman to her feet.
"These boys oughta know better'n ta strike a lady," he said over the din of the brawl. "Specially one what's carryin' a gun."

Yuri finished drinking his drink and saw Shell handling a couple of the m but one was coming at him from the side Yuri quickly stepped in.,"You really shouldn't attack someone from a blind spot." he said to the brawler as the brawler swung at him he dodged each of his attacks. Blocking the last punch with one of his hands the other one started in on him giving the brawler a couple of Leopard punched and attacking him with his elbows and his knees while holding him in place with his hand. Than backing up he readied his position lifting his index finger knuckle while keeping the rest in a fist he attack pressure points on his face with blinding speed. The man fell down not able to feel his face after being attacked. "Are you okay Erin?" he asked her looking her over to make sure she wasn't hurt.

((Oops, I edited my past post. Didn't notice all that was gonig on when I was writing apparently. lol))

The Captain was satisfied that Erin was okay and that the rest of his crew were holding together. Looking at the knocked out man by his feet a moment before turning his attention to the bar scene in particular Carin who dropped a few more perverts, hopefully she got the fight out of her system by now. "Alright people, let's get out of here." he said, regaining his leadership voice as he 'rescued' the cash from his victims wallet before issuing his orders "Shelly and Yuri help Erin back to the ship..." with that he went after Carin, knowing he was the only person she would listen to at all when she was in her brawling mind. Walking up to her he said firmly "Carin wrap it up, we're heading out." In the back ground one of the drunks that was still standing spat on the ground and said "You better run you stinkin' brown coats!" Stephan shot him a warning glare and said very sternly "Back right the hell off now or I'm not going to stop Carin here from messin' you up somethin' fierce. Do we have an understanding?" The guy glanced at Carin almost like he could take her but then considered the dropped guys all around her and decided to just sit back down at his chair and sip his drink quietly. Smirking Stephan said "Shiny, now you have yourelf a wonderful day." and with that motioned for Carin to join him back to the ship.

As the captain walked back to the ship with Carin he couldn't help but smirk "I'm not saying you couldn't but I'm sure he's taking it as a kindness that you didn't. Besides, it's always nice to leave one to the others just how badly they lost." He gave her a wink as they met up with the crew who were just lowering Tranquility's loading bay door. As he walked up into the ship he gave his orders "Shell see to it my pilot is taking up to her chair. Carin as I understand it Erin is going to need your skills for a few and then I want both of you girls prepping for take off. Yuri close the doors behind them and make sure the cargo bay is still strapped down." With that said he walked off into the ship.

"Thanks."Erin smiled at Shell putting an hooking an arm over his should to take some pressure off of the leg, when he asked about the hydraulic oil, she just gave him a soft smile. "Yeah so?" Erin let out a squeak as Shell picked her up, and carried her the rest of the way.

Now in her seat Erin felt relaxed and at home. "Yeah, I'm great, nothin' hurts too much... other than my pride." With that she watched him take his leave and then started taking the braces. First she unhooked each strap, and then the painful part. She unscrewed the bolts that connected it's joints to hers. Finally she removed the battery pack that was fastened at the small of her back. It had a plethora of sensitive sensors that left marks across her back, but most prominent was the scar from a bullet entry that was directly on her spine.

She waited for her mechanic. "Hey Carin." She said somewhat shyly. "Sorry you have to fix them again... it's the same problem with the rubber seal." She said with a bit of a frown. "It shouldn't take too long to fix, but... sorry."

Using the wall for support, Shell made his way from the bridge, stopping by his bunk to compose himself. He was so much more drunk than even he realized. He felt a lot better after throwing up, and once he'd pulled off his gear he felt right as rain. He washed up and splashed some water on his face, rubbed at his swollen jaw, and finally took a long hard look at himself.
Today was never a good day, he told himself, and he'd be feeling a lot better once it was over and they were up there in the black. Maybe they'd get a job soon and he could take his mind off all this. He could only hope.
He climbed back up, feeling much more steady on his feet, and payed a glance toward the bridge before turning back to descend to the cargo bay and help Yuri to double check that everything was secure.
