Noting the growing silence that filled the room at the end of Aki's little speech, Michiko decided to take charge.

"Well, it looks like we have shopping to do people. I hope that mall you mentioned has an apothecary in it. I'm going to need a few extra herbs that my own kit is running low on. Oh and Aki, you will have to change styles. Those skin tight things you wear don't really come in bigger sizes and I'm sure they're already getting uncomfortable. We'll let you borrow one of my wind suits for now, though you may have to roll up the pants legs a bit."

Rummaging through her duffel bag, she pulled out a simple black suit. "This will have to do for now cuz. Eddie, why don't you go get your cash and a good size vehicle? I have a feeling we'll be needing both. Besides, Aki needs a chance to change into something more comfortable and convenient for clothes shopping."

"Whoa...I'm gonna need more than the cash I brought. All I brought was about 5 grand. Everyone is gonna bring some money; I have a feeling we're gonna need it. Just because I made a small fortune from building boats doesn't mean I'm Harry Trump. And we're gonna have to make this run damn quick; we're quickly running out of the luxury of time. I would say we have less than three hours before the fleet departs for open space," Edward said as he prepared to dash off for his quarters.

"Alright, Michiko, Mei...get Akiko ready for our little trip. Get any money you brought, and I mean that. I'll make a quick change into civvie clothes, get some of my own cash, and head down to the hangar bay to requit a jeep big enough for us and our purchases. Oh, and for the record, Chiko...they have an apothecary. You're gonna need some of those herbs for my head, or I'll let you know how I felt," he said, groaning still at that bump.

Then, Edward began sprinting down his quarters, a couple of meters away. Upon reaching the door, he closed it and stripped out of his uniform down to his boxers. Quickly changing into a black shirt, navy blue jeans and his sky blue Converse Chuck Taylors, he kept his sunglasses on and threw on a leather jacket. Opening his closet, Edward pulled out a silver suitcase and threw it onto his bed. Opening it, he pulled out two wads of $100 bills, each wad with about $500 each. Stuffing the wads into his jacket pockets, Edward then closed the case, put it back into his closet, closed the closet doors, and left his room.

Locking his room doors with a code, Edward then began jogging down to the hangar bay. Upon reaching the bay, he found a mechanic who helped him requisition a jeep for his usage, and Edward waited in the driver's seat. They had about two hours and fifty minutes available to them. "Not much time left."

Akiko skimmed through her cash. "Well, I have a couple thousand saved up from after OYW. Okay, well if we're getting clothes that aren't tight fitting then maybe we should get some halter tops with loose waists, t-shirts, maybe a couple sweaters. There are some jeans with draw strings so it'll be loose, and some sweat pants are fine too, but I don't want any shorts or dresses..." she said to herself on the way to the hangar after changing into what Chiko had given her.

It was a little big, but she didn't really care too much. Mei was right behind her, rattling off all the things she wanted to get for the baby. She got there to find Eddy was already waiting. "We're still waiting on Chiko? Well, she'll get here any time now." Akiko started thinking about what she was going to need for the next few months. She put a hand over her face. This baby is going to cost me a fortune, she thought while laughing to herself.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN LOST IN SHIPMENT?!" Michiko screamed at the inventory clerk.

"Um, well you see... It's here.. somewhere.. maybe..." the clerk said trailing off.

"It better be," Michiko replied with pure icy rage in her voice. How the hell do they lose things in such a short distance? Now I'm going to have to replace my whole set of herbs and everything else. Oh this is going to cost a fortune.

"I-I'll get right on it ma'am." came the response from the now slightly intimidated clerk.

"See to it that it is. You don't want to pay to replace those things. It will cost more than you make in a year. I'll be back later to pick up my things."

Running towards the jeep, all Michiko was able to do is worry about how much she was about to drop at the mall. Well damn, there goes a couple thousand in herbs, not to mention the stuff to prepare everything. Then there's all my other stuff...

Fuming slightly, though not as badly as she had been when she arrived Michiko caught up and said, "Ok people, let's get this show on the road. I have alot to buy apparently."

"Alright...let's go over this one more time. We have about two hours and...forty-two minutes to get everything we need. I brought along a grand, and I know that Akiko brought along some money. Mei gave me the list of what we need for both Akiko and the baby. Do we need anything else before we go?" Edward asked everyone present, including Michiko, who he noticed was a bit fumed.

Akiko gave Mei a curious look. "What list? I haven't written one. Okay, let me see it," she said taking it from Eddy. She started laughing a little. "Um, Mei...We don't know if it's a girl yet, or even if it's a boy. And some of this I'm not getting even for myself; like the shorts and dresses," she said, thinking about the scars on her legs again.

Mei rolled her eyes and smiled about the mention of the baby. But when her sister mentioned not getting the shorts and dresses, she folded her arms across her chest. She couldn't believe that Akiko was still worked up over wearing stuff that showed her legs.

"Uh Eddie, I don't think we have time for me to list half of what I need. Let's just say the apothecary will have record profits today. My favorite clothing store will have a good run for their money too." Noting the quizzical looks Michiko continued, "They lost my stuff. The inventory guy thinks it might be there, but he's not sure."

Then, throwing a stern look at Akiko she said, "You are going to buy skirts and you're going to wear them and like it. Or else. Oh and Mei, we have to get a kimono for you. It's been so long since you had a new one that I'm sure the old one doesn't fit."

Man this sucks. Eddie's going to have to drive like a mad man to get us there and back in time.

"Alright...damnit, we're gonna have to work like madmen if this is going to work. Remind me to hit that clerk with your duffel bag, Chiko-chan. Hang on tight, everyone; it's gonna be a bumpy ride," Edward said, immediately flooring it and speeding out of the hangar bay. At the same time he set his watch to timer mode. As the jeep sped across back streets to the public area, Edward was careful to make sure that they didn't pass by anything suspicious.

In less than four minutes, they had reached the roadway leading to one of the public areas, in particular the one where the mall that Edward had suggested was located. Seeing all the innocent people...families with little children, reminded Edward of what he was fighting for. About two minutes later, Edward had managed to get them to the mall in question. He managed to park the jeep relatively close to the entrance. Quickly unbuckling his seat belt, taking the keys out of the ignition and stuffing them in his pocket, he motioned his passengers to exit.

"Alright, we're cutting it close, ladies...but we're making good time, nevertheless."

(OOC: As promised, CAIB)

As the trip progressed rather smoothly, Heather noticed that Amelia had fallen asleep on the couch, and was sleeping rather peacefully. Deciding to check up on Karl and Horatio, she exited the rather spatious quarters and made her way up to the command module.

"Well, gentlemen, how much longer til we reach Side 3?"

Akiko was holding onto the jeep for dear life. "Slow down...Remember the baby...Geez..." she muttered to herself while Eddy drove like a maniac. When he stopped she finally let go and got out. "Okay, so where to first? Hmm...Well, somewhere for some clothes for me maybe, but then I need food. I'm starving," Akiko said, her stomach letting out a small growl.

Michiko took the ride to the mall in stride. Nothing Eddie would be crazy enough to try would ever compare to one of Aki's exes that she had the unfortunate chance of riding with. Once they got there and Aki mentioned food, Michiko formed a battle plan.

"Eddie, take Aki to the food court and get her something she can carry along with her. Mei, head over to the baby stores and get the basics, JUST the basics. I'm heading over to the apothecary to get some herbs to refill my cabinet which I suppose I'll be replacing as well. We meet by the main fountain in half an hour. Then it's off to buy clothes. Move out!"

Heading towards the little apothecary shop, Michiko hoped they carried the nicer things, even if they charged a small fortune.

"Alright, Chiko. You're the boss," Edward said as he took Akiko by the hand and escorted her to the food court. Seeing that they had a variety of foods and drinks, some of which could be easily carried, he turned to Akiko and said,

"So, what do you want?" Edward said as he pulled out a $100 bill. Thank God that so many people in Florida had relied on his services in building boats.

Eddy, Mei, Akiko, and Michiko should all be dead...since we left VB a long time ago...before Bill and Eddy were in the sims. Since you all exited the ship into the vacuum of space without the proper equipment...one can only assume that you're all dead. Thanks for playing, here's your consolation prizes. Seriously, EZ even stated that the ships set sail awhile ago. No idea where you all got the idea that it didn't happen.

Instead of being a gigantic prick and telling you all that you're characters are dead and laughing in your faces, I'll be the awesome mod. All three of you have the chance of disregarding the last couple of posts and instead realize that the ship already and abandon the trip.

As for Akikio and Michiko's entrances into the ship, we'll just assume that they came to the ship via private taxis.
---------------------

Bill took the time away from Beta team and Eddy to hit the gym. Feeling a bit lazy, Bill only felt like doing sit ups. After about 20 minutes of doing so, he left and started to walk around a bit and saw a small group of people. He saw Mei and Eddy. Akiko was also present, which was a surprise...and then there was some other chick there as well, which bewildered Bill.

Looking at Eddy he said, "Eddy, remind me to pummel you later for leaving a Simulator while the rest of your team was still fighting." As he started to walk on, he made his right hand into a gun and pretended to fire at Eddy. No this isn't a lockon reference. This is a reference to Bill shooting at Eddy if he says anything he isn't suppose to.

Seeing Bill arrive, and obviously pissed, Edward only chucked at Bill and replied loudly, "Sorry about that, Bill. But, I managed to get back into the mindset...doesn't mean I'm not grateful for agreeing to be my mentor. This is one of our reserve pilots, and an old friend of mine, Michiko Amsel," he finished, motioning to Chiko-chan.

"Michiko, this is one of our veteran pilots, Bill Johnson. He's one nasty sonofabitch to tangle with, but if you need him, he's can be relied on without doubt."

(OOC: I thank you for this great service, O'Regan. The three of us feel kinda stupid for thinking we were still at Von Braun, so we're grateful.)

Bill was simply astonished at the amount of Feddy pilots that keep joining...It's like they multiple as if they were rabbits.

After taking some time to walk around, Bill decided to check the bridge. Everything was a bit peculiar. Captain Shit-faced was not back from the infirmary yet, and it seemed a few members of the bridge crew took it upon themselves to leave their posts.

This included the radio operator, which really pissed Bill off. They have an unidentified spy on the ship, and he leaves his post giving an perfect opportunity to contact the Titans! Bill, feeling pissed off as it is, decides to sit in for the asshole and mans the radio.

After thirty minutes of waiting, someone contacts the ship. It's an order coming from Von Braun. Bill listened in and took down the orders. Afterwards, he contacted Ryan...since he was the only person on the ship who could order others around after the Captain.

"Hey Ryan, we have a situation on the Bridge. HQ just contacted us. We're to abort our raid on Texas Colony. Our spy intel confirms the Titan vessel that attacked out Lunar Space Port has left the colony. Our experts believe from their trajectory that they're heading towards Gryps Colony.

While that doesn't seem to big of a deal, our most recent assault cruiser Argama is heading out for a mission there. We've been ordered to change course to attempt to escort the Argama and push back the Alexandria class ship. We need to change our course now if we have any hopes of arriving to help our buddies before the Titans do. Ryan, can you confirm this order so we can move out?"
