The Maru was planetside while Beka attempted to sort out some of her debt problems. And, after many hours of persuasion from Harper she and Dylan had allowed the afore mentioned and Trance to go along too.
"I want you two back here by 23:00 okay?" Beka ordered, it wasn't a question -it was a fact,
"Yes mom," replied Harper, "C'mon Trance!" he continued, heading towards the door with Trance on his heels,
"Eleven o'clock tonight Seamus! Not tomorrow morning!" Beka yelled after the disappearing pair
"Got it!" he called back.

"That was, hic, the deal Harper, you lost, hic, so you gotta, hic, do it!" Trance slurred, they'd been playing poker for the last few hours and as the cans of various alcoholic brands mounted up so did the stakes.
Yet still, even though she was about six times more drunk than him she had beat him -hands down.
The punishment? He had to jump into a lake in the suberbs of the town in which they had landed, in nothing but his boxers.
"Fine, fine -i'll do it." Harper said while he was stripping down and leaving his clothes in a pile by the side of the lake.
"Good now, hic, go on, hic, and jump!" Trance hiccuped.
"I'm goin I'm goin! Just wait here okay?" Taking a deep breath Harper dived into the icy cold water.
With a childish giggle Trance skipped forward, grabbed his clothes and ran back to the Maru, her tail swishing behind her.
Just as she disappeared into the dark Harper crawled out of the lake.
"Trance? Trance? Where are ya? And where are my clothes? Where are my pants even? Trance? This isn't funny!" He got up and walked over to where he had left his clothes, and saw the footprints leading off in the ships direction, "Okay, this is not what it looks like, or maybe it is. Oh crap! This is sooo not good!" Harper said to himself as he walked around scanning the nearby ground for his clothes. Even the moon seemed to be laughing at him in the way that it's reflection danced off of the lake. "Okay, I'll just head back to the Maru, grab some clothes and nobody will be any wiser. I hope."
Cautiously Harper made his way back to the MAru and thanked his lucky stars that he didn't see anybody. Sighing with relief he closed the airlock door and wasted no time whatsoever in sprinting to his "room" and turning on a the shower: ten minutes later he had showered and changed into fresh clothes. Glancing arounf Harper smirked as he saw the reading on a nearby clock 23:59. His smirk turned into a frown however when he saw the pile of clothes on his bed with a flexi attached. Picking it up he scrolled down and read it,
