Gairus looked at the mess caused in the main deck, and considering that he couldn't help stop the opposition, he began picking up objects. If he was bugged simply because he couldn't get to a turret in time, he wouldn't kiss up to anyone.

Jag found Blikk near the passenger dorms picking up things that had shaken loose in the fight. Jag advanced on him, his expression none too pleased.
"My ship was target practice for pirate fighters for a full two minutes before a wounded man and the ship's cook managed to grab the turrets and chase them off." Jag growled. "You told me when I hired you that you could work a turret. So when the shooting started, where the Kriff were you?"

Niomie turned in her seat and peered over her shoulder at whoever it was that had come onto the bridge.
“Hi.” She smiled. “Um, I started to run control systems diagnostic from this end, it should be finished momentarily.” She said as she saw who it was.

"Alright, were you on the other end of the sensors?" Helix asked as he headed to one of the unoccupied consoles and stopped beneath it to pull open the maintenance compartment behind it.

“Yep, that was me.” She replied. “You must be the one the cap’ calls Lux, right? Sorry I was slow with the sensor operations, but I’ve never seen that thing that you did with the sensors before. That was really cool.” She grinned.

"When the ship was yanked out of hyperspace I was launched forward into my cabin wall, and I was stunned. As soon as I did, I came down here looking for a turret, but as you said, they were already occupied. It won't happen again." Gairus's expression did not change at all.

"Thanks, unfortunately it gave me a bunch more work... First name is Helix by the way. What's yours?" Helix replied from beneath the console where he pulled out a burnt circuit board and handed it to Ellbee.

"By a wounded man and the ship's cook." Jag repeated. "You let a wounded comrade and a non-combatant do your job for you. That means one of two things, Blikk. You're either a coward or a traitor." Jag's pistol was in hand in an instant, its dull metallic barrel staring straight into Blikk's face. "At this moment, I'm leaning towards the later. And I cant stand traitors Blikk. You claim you were stunned when we suddenly came out of hyperspace, but here you are sporting a repeater and an armored vest."
Jag's expression darkened.
"Let me tell you what I think is going on. Its an old pirate tactic. Its called planting. A Pirate crew sneaks a spy onboard a transport to scope out the cargo and conditions, then feed the data and course information back to their buddies so they can intercept. That was what you were doing here. Should have picked up on it when you said your previous work was less than legit. You told your chum sucking pirate crewmates where we were. When the shooting started, you ran to your bunk and loaded up to take us out from the inside so the boarding crew wouldnt face signifigant resistance. Then, when the fight turned south for your pals, you looked for some place to lay low and made up the "I got stunned" story. If you had really been wounded, you would have been in the Med Lab, not out here pretending to do something."
Jag motioned for him to drop his guns. "Drop 'em, Blikk. That vest wont save you at this range. Especially from a shot to your face."

((That was a mis post, with the turret, by the way, since they were already occupied then that would make the post irrelevant))

"I had my gear on because I thought they were going to board. If I was a traitor, we wouldn't be speaking right now, and you know it. I could easily have just gone over to the turrets and shot both Kalin and Laura. I came here looking for one, but they were full, and since I can't climb out into space and fire cannon rounds out of my a**, I figured I might as well start cleaning up." Gairus sighed, "Look, honestly, I was caught off guard by this. I promise I wont mess up again."

"Scraping a cargo container is messing up. This is utterly inexcusible. Now I'm getting pretty damn sick of this "They were full" kirflag. Kalin was injured yet you did nothing. You didnt take him to med bay, you didnt replace him at the turret, you did nothing. Cookie cant shoot. Period. You can. Yet you didnt step in and take your position on a gun, the position I hired you for. I ordered you to defend the ship. Twice. You opted to defend yourself. We werent even at risk of being boarded and thats only because a little girl and a bird were man enough not to shirk their responsibilities and think only of themselves. Every time you are not doing your job you are putting not just your life but the lives of your crewmates and the passengers who have payed us to protect them in danger."
Jag lowered his gun and holstered it.
"Congragulations, Blikk. You've just downgraded from traitor to coward. You can spend the next two planets confined to the ship as punishment for not being at your post. And before you even complain, those were the rules you agreed to when you signed up on my ship.* Next time you decide to run and leave the fighting to injured men and noncombatants, I wont simply confine you to ship. I'll fire you. Out of an airlock."

Gairus nodded and walked to the lift. He went into his bunk and sat down. "Sheesh...he's right. Gotta use my brain for once." He said leaning against his wall.

“Sorry about that.” Niomie replied, tucking her legs under and curling up in her chair. “Names Niomie.” She smiled at him, even though he was half hidden under the console he was working on. “Nice to meet you Helix.”
