Emerald was waiting in the Briefing room, pacing back and forth. She was really starting to get tired of little surprises, they in fact were agitating her more than she would have liked. When the shuttle went out, to take care of their business, Emerald had gone in search of Serenity, since Mal hadn’t come to the ship sooner. But, she was unable to find the ship. And now she had a nagging feeling in the pit of her stomach, she felt that maybe something had happened to them, and it unsettled her something fierce. She’d been planning on a big ole meeting in the morning, mostly introducing new crew to all the others in an official capacity. But she guessed this would have to do now.

Lula had slipped into the room before Emerald even had made the call over the intercom. She’d told her sister Lola that captain needed everybody assembled, and she skipped off. Then five minutes later Emerald gave the announcement. The woman was sitting in a chair, staring down at her trusty data pad; waiting with Emerald for the others. She’d tried talking to Emerald, to help calm her nerves a bit, but she was really annoyed, so it didn’t help any.

( Simon had no idea where the briefing room was. )

Emerald had plenty of things to do today, meet with Zorya Kolesnik and Tanis Wheeler, find out where Serenity landed, talk to captain Reynolds, talk with Monica concerning a plan she forged in her head over the night having to do with the Talos situation, wave Roland again, hopefully getting an answer this time, also had to see about selling some of the things that got ‘salvaged’, things on her and Mal’s ships that the crew’s weren’t going to keep, then slit the profit, check back with General Marrs and see how he’s come with tracking that ship that was responsible for killing Joseph Wheelers crew. Also, she wanted to look into the fact, the potential cargo master, and communication’s specialist having the same last name.

But, before any of that was to happen, the captain lady needed to eat. Otherwise, nothing would get done, and she’d be a grouchy captain lady. And with Monica being so for the both of them, she didn’t want to be snapping at people because of her stomach. So, she made her way to the kitchen. Not finding Gwen inside, but Oddball instead. She grinned at him, “Heya Mister.” Emerald had found Oddball cooking more often the last few days, than she had Gwen; something was up with her as well. And it pained Emerald that Gwen hadn’t come to her, to talk about whatever it was. And when she’d mentioned it, the weapon’s officer brushed it off as if she was fine. The captain, while very intuitive at times, was completely missing the connection in Monica’s bad mood, and Gwen’s lack of interaction with the others. She was just so busy with other things, to notice that it was all being caused from the same thing.

Emerald happily helped Oddball make breakfast, noting that he didn’t necessarily always cook to other’s likings. Not everyone on ship was as loving of all types of food, the gals, for instance ate far less than him and Akira did. The pleasant smell of food cooking radiated out from the kitchen, hopefully drawling the others out to join them. And those that couldn’t come, for instance anyone in the infirmary that wasn’t able to walk yet, Emerald would send food to. The woman kind of hoped that the doctor and his sister would join them today, since it was likely their last day on Lorrayna, and she fancied both of their company. Oddball’s laughter and Emerald giggling filled the room, as the two teased each other while cooking. Emerald sat the table, as food was being plated onto serving dishes by Oddball, Emerald imagined if everyone came to eat with them, that the dinning table would be it’s fullest it had been in a while.

Monica sat curled up on the large sofa in the Lounge for a little while. Crying to herself, she didn’t do it too often. Especially where somebody could come a crossed her, but it seemed the last couple days it was become for frequent. She nearly fell asleep, but that she caught herself waking at the sound of a noise. Or, she thought it had been a noise maybe it wasn’t after all. She sighed, wiping at her face. Her eyes were blood shoot, but she didn’t care. She wouldn’t really know unless she looked. And she wasn’t going to. Monica sat staring at the cards and bottle sitting on the floor. The more she stared the more she felt like she’d start crying, again. Her brain was wandering in all sorts of places. She couldn’t really sleep, and she didn’t want to be alone.

So she pulled herself to her feet. At first she figured she’d just get coffee, maybe coffee would help. But as she wobbled, yes wobbled. The pain killers were still pretty strong in her system, and it seemed the strongest side enough besides the rambling unintentionally which she didn’t think could really be described as a side effect; the next worse was the dizziness. She decided coffee would only make her for jittery, so she decided the idea. She oddly, wanted to find Kira. If he was awake, she’d find him. And she didn’t know what else. Talk to him maybe? She just didn’t want to be alone, and really the only person she could even imagine going to, was him. He, after that conversation over dinner a few days ago, He was the closest thing she had to a friend on ship. At least the way she saw things. Of course part of herself thought it was a stupid idea, but another knew that he’d help. Just by him rambling about something else, that’d help. She didn’t even know if he was awake. Though she figured if he was, her best bet was if he was tinkering in the engine room. SO that’s where she headed. And if he wasn’t there, she’d go to her berth. But she didn’t really want to. Her cards and bottle were left, she figured she’d get them later on sometime.

Lula headed down the entrance corridor skipping upward towards the bridge. She left Talos in Emerald’s hands knowing she’d take really good care of him. She wandered a bit before heading to Lorrayna’s main engine room. She was talking all the while to her, the best she could. Lorrayna never had a problem hearing her though; most people wouldn’t understand normal talking to ships, much less Lula’s way of doing it.

The little thing made her way inside the engine room. Was nobody in there, although she saw some sign that there might have been not long ago. She was prancing all around, and then knelt over to take a look at the engine. She smiled gleefully; her girl seemed to be in wonderful shape. She rubbed part of the metal lovingly, Whose been carin’ for you baby? The Kara done a shiny job of it. Lula didn’t know if there was another mechanic or engineer.
