Part 4-Now What?
Blue and the others did finally manage to find a way up to the 3rd floor and
once there it took awhile to decide on which room had the best view of the
crew's rooms because 1812 forgot to mention which rooms they were staying in.
But it didn't take too long to find them, mostly thanks to an argument coming
from the one John and Aeryn are staying in. After choosing their room the DRDs
clear out some of the debris and then wait till morning...
[B-MW] "What are we supposed to do on a vacation anyway?"
**Relax, take a break from the normal, and have fun**
[B-MW] "Oh...So how are we supposed to do that?"
**Not really sure, I've never been on a vacation before**
[Sparks] "That's great. We're on vacation and we have no idea how
to have one!"
[Blitz] "Isn't that why we came, to find out what one's like?"
[Sparks] "Yeah, but still, we don't know where to start."
[V-W] "Well we'll just have to figure it out then."
[Sparks] "Yeah and by the time we do it'll be time to head back to
Moya."
**You're being very negative today**
[Sparks] "I'm not being negative, I'm being realistic. How are we supposed
to learn what to do on a vacation when we're going to have to keep an eye on
the crew at the same time?"
[Blitz] "Sparks does have a point."
**I don't know. We'll just have to wait till 1812 gets here**
1812 enters...
"Well I'm right here, so what do inquiring processors want to
know?"
**They want to know how we're going to go about spending our vacation**
"Well first off, we have to figure out who's going to be keeping an eye on
the crew and when. We'll worry about the rest later."
**Right. So how are we going to figure that out?**
"Well the way I see it, we're going to need two DRDs to stay here..."
[DRDs] "I'll Stay!"
"I wasn't asking for volunteers, so can I finish?...Ok, another two
DRDs will be needed to follow any crew members who leave the vicinity of the
hotel, and the remaining four DRDs have some free time for several arns, then
they will trade places with the four DRDs who were on watch."
[Sparks] "What about you?"
"Well I sort of have to stay with Commander Crichton, so I'll try keep
in eye on him and Aeryn Sun, which means you guys probably won't have
to."
[Sparks] "Whew, and I was worried I'd have to do that."
"Well maybe I could always take a break and have you..."
[Sparks] "NO! No, that's alright, I'd like to stay in operational
order as long as possible."
"Ok then."
[Fixer] "So who's going to being doing what and when?"
"Well first let's get you guys into groups of two. Let's see, how about
Sparks and Blitz, V-W and B-MW, Kip and Fixer..."
[Fixer] "NO! I refuse to be paired up with him, not after I had to
listen to him freak out for several arns in the transport pod."
[Kip] "Why do you hate me?"
[Fixer] "Because you're annoying!"
[Kip] "Well maybe I don't want to be paired up with you
either!"
[Fixer] "Good!"
**I'll be with Kip**
"Ok, Kip and Blue, and Fixer you can be with Cam. Does that work for
you?"
[Fixer] "As long as I don't have to work with Kip."
[Cam] "You know you should be nicer to Kip."
[Fixer] "Shut up."
[Kip] "Yeah! You should be nicer to me."
[Fixer] "That goes for you too!"
**All of you shut up!**
[DRDs] "..."
"OK, now that that's all settled, any volunteers to be on the first
watch?"
[DRDs] "..."
"Come on, or do I have to choose?"
**Kip and I will follow anyone who leaves the hotel**
"Ok, who wants to keep watch here?"
[B-MW] "We'll do it."
"Alright then. Your shift change will be every 6 arns, and Kip and Cam
you can take B-MW and V-W's place, and Sparks, you and Blitz will take over for
Blue and Kip. Does that work for everyone?"
[DRDs] "..."
"I'll take that as a yes. Now for those who're going to be following
the crew, I'll show you where you're going to have to stay when you're not
following anyone. I guess that's all. Oh I almost forgot, for you four who have
your shift here, you just have to keep an eye on the hotel and contact the
others if you see anything out of the ordinary, Ok."
[Fixer] "Yeah, watch next door, contact if there's a problem."
"Good, now your 6 arn shift starts now."
Blue, Kip, Sparks, and Blitz follow 1812 to where they'll have to stay, which
turns out to behind the plants near the entrance of the hotel...
"This is the best place for you guys to stay. You have a good view of
the entrance of the hotel, which means you'll be able to see if any of the crew
members leave."
[Kip] "What if more then one group of crew members leave, or if
they split up afterwards?"
"Well if that happens, you're not expected to be able to follow
everyone at the same time, so you can either split up yourselves, follow who you
believe will have a greater chance of getting into trouble, or you can always
contact the DRDs who are on free time to help. Also if I leave with any of the
crewmembers you don't have to follow us, unless you really want to. So are
there any more questions?"
[Sparks] "Nope"
**Nope**
"Ok, then I'll see you all later."
With that 1812 leaves, Sparks and Blitz take off to enjoy their free time, and
Kip and Blue wait in their hiding place to see if they'll have to follow anyone
today...
[Kip] "So now we just wait and see if we'll have to follow anyone
right?"
**Yep**
Roughly an arn later...
[Kip] "Hey, look!"
**What?**
[Kip] "Isn't that Chiana and Dominar Rygel leaving?"
**Yeah, it looks like we get to follow someone today**
[Kip] "Should one or both of us go?"
**Both of us, these two are the masters of getting into trouble**
[Kip] "Ok, let's go then."
Kip and Blue follow Chiana and Rygel to what appears to be the main shopping
center on the vacation planet. Rygel stops at a booth and haggles over the
purchase of some food item, after several microts Chiana pulls Rygel aside...
[Chiana] "Rygel just pay the man what he asks so we can move on. I
really want to see what's in the store over there."
[Rygel] "I will not, I know I can bring the price down. Why don't
you go over there yourself. It was decided that we all 'should' stay with
someone if we leave the hotel, not that we 'have to', so just go."
[Chiana] "Well maybe I will, but if you get your eema into trouble
don't expect me to come save you."
[Rygel] "The same goes for you."
[Chiana] "Fine."
Chiana takes off towards another store and Rygel returns to his negations...
**Kip why don't you go follow Chiana, while I stay here and keep an eye on
Rygel**
[Kip] "Why me?"
**Because, now go or you're going to lose her**
[Kip] "Ok, but what if there's trouble?"
**If there is just call me Ok**
[Kip] "Ok, but why me?"
**Just go!**
[Kip] "I'm going, I'm going!"
Kip goes off after Chiana as Blue continues to watch Rygel, who is still
arguing with the shop vendor...
[Rygel] "I'll give you 20 Krindars."
[Vendor] "40 Krindars, these are very hard to come by after
all."
[Rygel] "20"
[Vendor] "35, and I will not go any lower."
[Rygel] "Ha! Do you take me for an idiot! I'll give you 25."
[Vendor] "30, any lower and you can try and find these
elseware."
[Rygel] "30, that's more like it, you have yourself a deal. Now how
do I go about having my marjouls delivered to my hotel room?"
[Vendor] "That'll cost you extra, say 10 Krindars."
The bartering continues as Blue notices Kip coming towards him...
[Kip] "We're in trouble, it was in the center and, and..."
**Kip, where's Chiana?**
[Kip] "I lost her, but..."
**What do you mean you lost her?**
[Kip] "I just did! OK! But it doesn't matter! We're in
trouble!"
**Just because you lost Chiana doesn't mean it's the end of the universe,
I'm sure 1812 won't...**
[Kip] "No, no that's not it!"
**Then what's the matter?**
[Kip] "I found, well I think it is, I'm not really sure,
but..."
**Kip! What is it!**
[Kip] "I found a Scarren wanted beacon!"
TBC...
