Back on route to Earth, Tawfeek entered to the group in the galley. "Well, we're clear of them. But let's never speak of that escape. Now, onto new business."
He turned to Franklin, now considerably more calm, considering what he went through to help the ship escape. "So, what happened?" Tawfeek asked, bluntly.
Franklin took a breath. "It was... It was really quite simple. The Jones are the married couple on the ship. Were, I guess, if it was me and my captain that you found. Anyways, David had somehow managed to get Alice's attention. She was a single crew member. joined a few months ago. Jusqt before I came on board. We never really knew if it was real or imagined. David never gave any intention in front of us. But eventaully, Minnie Jones, the misses, just went odd, and it was obvious that David was doing something with Alice." Franklin looked apologetically at McKenna before continuing.
It took a couple starts before he went on. he wasn't teary, just distraught. "The captain and I were discussing getting our hands on some medical scanners for resale when Alice screamed into the coms 'He said he loved me!' and the pressure warnings went off. She just sucked the air out of the ship. If my captain and I hand't sealed the door, we'ld be dead too."
Franklin walked to the window. "I guess they're never harmless." he looked the crew. "Listen, I don't need to be a bother. I can cover my passage, and I'll stay out of the way."
Tawfeek nodded. "You'll be in the lower level. But McKenna's taking care of our patient." he looked at the crew. "Unless there are objections?"

Foreman stays on the bridge but visibly relaxes once they get out of range of the Pooh. Even while the Captain goes to talk to the rest of the crew he keeps pushing The Galaxy further and further away from the Pooh Jihad and the East Saint Louis wreckage.
He will stay on the bridge behind the controls until the captain relieves him.

"Damned right you'll stay out of the way." McKenna said under her breath. She had questions, but it wasn't her place to ask them as she sat off to the side. When asked, she hook her head," No sir."

Once he feels they put significant distance from the site of all that drama, he makes his way to the Galley and joins up with everyone else as the captain assigns the new guy his quarters. He walks over and pours himself some coffee looking haggard and tired having not left the bridge until now since the Pooh' problem.

Tawfeek glanced over at McKenna. "No?" He sounded surprised, but he eyes told her not to push it. "Alright. Stephens, show Franklin to one of the guest quarters. Explain the going rate for keeping kneecaps, if so inclined. We could do with a little extra income. The rest of you, take a break. I'll fly."
Mensk (GMed) watched the proceedings, sipping some coffee, himself.

Flip, not wanting to deal with what's going on with MJ and the other guy says, "Captain, I can take another shift." Holding up his coffee he adds, "I'm good to go now."

Jessica nods at the Captain and looks at Franklin. "If you'll follow me, please, I'll show you where the guest quarters are at." Jessica then leads Franklin to the guest quarters and asks him politely, "Do you have any questions for me?"

Hearing Flip ask for another shift, and Jessica leaving with Frankie, McKenna let out a bit of a sigh," I'll be in medical monitoring the patient. No more evasion maneuvers please." She turned and headed that way.

In the Galley
"After what you just flew," Tawfeek said, almost proudly, "You've earned your rest. Mind you, if you pull that stunt again, you're off the ship. Now go sleep. I'll fly, for now."
In the Guest Quarters
"Probably a lot, but not many you'ld know the answer to. Or that need answering." Franklin said. "Except... umm, are you the Jessica Stephens? The one who took Captain Stewart down before he could fight your captain?"
In the medical bay
Captain (shipless) Richard Harold Stewart X was starting to stir.

Flip looks at the captain in shock, "b..b..but it was your idea," he stammers out.
Then shaking his head, and holding up his coffee cup, "I'll have to see the doc...tor," he says. The pause cause he remembered MJ not liking to be called "doc." I'll have to see the doctor and get something to help, been on some serious adrenaline and coffee."

Jessica simply smiles at Franklin as she replies, "Indeed I am." She waits to see if Franklin has any more questions as they walk to the next empty room and keys open the door, "Here we are."

" Hello Captain Stewart, how are you feeling?" McKenna asked as she approached from an angle he could see her coming. " You're a lucky man we happened onto what was left of your ship when we did. My name is Doctor Hatfield, I'm the ship's medical officer. Please just try to relax, you're going to need a fair bit of recovery time I'm afraid."

In the Galley
"That just means you need to show better judgement." TAwfeek said, with a grin. "And you can start now, by giving up the coffee." He held out his hand. "You're off for 12 hours. Get some rest."
In the Medical Bay
Captain (shipless) Richard Harold Stewart X's eyes shifted over. He didn't seem very comfortable. "Dohctowr Hahtfiehld," He began, the GM relaizing how much of a challenge this guy's going to be to write, "I do dehmahnd to speak with youw Cahptain, at his euhliest convnience." Who knows, maybe he's punch drunk, and will sound normal when he recovers. "As well, did my owwn dohctowr suhvive? He was with me in that saym roohm."
Really, he sounds like a Southern US 'Colonel' trying to be a British aristocrat.
In the Guest Rooms
Franklin looked at the room, appraising it. "I think this might be better than my own quarters were on the East Saint Louis." He said. "A private shower? Oh, no it's just a toil-" And the door closed, cutting him off.

McKenna had to focus to understand her patient. " Captain Tawfeek is on the bridge, but I will give him your request. Your doctor should be resting in his own cabin. I checked him out and he was fine, nothing a little rest won't cure. You need to get some rest too, Captain Stewart." She checked the crash restraints. " These are for your own good, in case we need some more fancy flying. I'll be back shortly, and if you are up to it, I'll bring you something light to eat."

Flip hands over the cup of coffee and then heads down to medical only a few minutes behind MJ. When he gets there he sees her talking with the patient and waits till she walks away. He says, "hey Mj... I mean Doctor Mckenna, doubt there will be any more fancy flying for a while," he says indicating he heard part of her conversation, "we left the pirates far behind and the Captain is taking over for a bit. Wants me to sack out, but I..uh..I hate to ask but I may need some help with that."
He looks down as he finishes obviously ashamed of having to ask.
