Gripping the paw tightly, Damien nods, "Star know we needed a qaulified Engineer for the longest time! Glad to have you aboard the Drake."
He shakes teh had warmly and lets go of it.
"We'll set you up a small qaurters on board. They ain't vbery big though. Usually save teh larger ones for passengers and packages. ANyways, we'll be leaving then wehn your ready adn have your gear on board." Damien remarks as he turns to teh door.
He stops in teh door adn looks over his shoulder, "Hope you don't have a problem with Captain Lafluer. She has a habit of popping on board every now and tehn, but is usually because of me. Either business, questions, our little game or to chat. ONce we leave, I'll fill yo in about Ayla and she will probably have a few questions about you."
Damien turns and heads out the door.

Outside the shuttle is a hairless baboon in a WW1 uniform worn by british troops, the insigna indicating the rank of Captain. The baboon is middleweight with greasy brown hair and two bulging blue eyes staring out from beneath a pair of thin-rimmed glasses.
"Could I speak to the captain of this ship, please?" He asks in a low-pitched voice.

'Shouldn't take me more then a few minutes. Mores making sure the shops in good hands while I'm out. I got a few fellas that'll keep her in good company. As for LaFluar, shouldn't be too much problem."
Drake tosses him a com.
"I'll notify when everythings in order here."
Drake steps outta the ship, and notices the hairless baboon waitin outside.
"Well, the captains in, but we're more then a little busy. I could get him on com for ya if its really important."

Damien walks up to the cockpit and sits back down. Ayla looks over at him and raises an eyebrow.
"We got an engineer on the crew now." Damien remarks and smiles.
"FInally." Ayla sighs and looks ou tthe window, seeing Drake talking to the hairless baboon. "ANd it looks like he has ran into company already."
Damien shrugs and sets teh com on teh panel beside him. "He'll call if i am needed."
Flips a few buttons and picks up the mike. "This message is to Captain Lafluer. Sorry abou the shot from behind. I know it is against teh rules of our game. Anyways, if you can catch me again, i will pay you that dinner i hve been owing you. Let me know if you arestill interested." He says and shuts off the mike.
He lays back in his seat and tips the seat back.
"Now to see what happens." He says and relaxes.

"Excuse me, but may I please see the captain?" the hairless baboon asks with slight impatience. "It is imperative that I see the commanding officer!"

'A'ight, no need to lose your cool."
Flips out his com and radios to Damien.
"Hey Captain, theres a person out here to see ya, aparently its "imperative" that he talk to ya. While your talkin to him, I'll go and gather my tools and lock the rest of the hanger up till your done."
Looks over at the hairless baboon.
"Well, he knows your here. Wheather he comes out or not is up to him. If you'll excsue me though, I got a few things I need to get."
Drake nods politly and starts heading to his privite shop to get his tools and wheel the new engine for the ship out.

"Thank you for your time anyway," the baboon calls back to him, and waits patiently for the captain of the vessel to come out.

Damien sghs, "Can't i ever get a break?" He mutters as he gets up from his comfortable position.
Ayla smiles at him, "Not since you are teh fearles cpatain, second in courage to O'hare himself." She teased as he walked out.
Damien grunts and walks down to teh air lock adn out it. He steps in front of teh hairless baboon and crosses his arms.
"This had better be important and if it iis about my arguement Nass, i don't care." Damien grolws looking up at teh baboon. "What is it?"
"Stars he's tall!" Ayla whispers from inside the shuttle as she watches Damien stand before the Baboon.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Captain. But I've been told that Captain LaFleur was gunned down here, and as your ship was in the hangar at the time, I was wondering if you happened to see or hear anything suspicious around 11:03 hours." the baboon replies.
The baboon suddenly produces an ID reading "CAPTAIN (Forename unknown) CORPORAL, UAC, ORWELL STATION"

"Well, that depends on a few things. Yes i was here. i was in the bar watching the band. I did notice a fox and squirrel taht seemed like they were up to no good. There was a storm toad walking around. Captain Lafluer did come into the bar and we continued our simple game, Tha reminds me, i owe her a dinner, she did catch me, until i escaped. Anyways, i last saw her as she was recovering from a simple stun." Damien mutters leaning agaisnt the shuttle. "Gunned down you say? How bad is she? IF she is in decent shape, could you bring her by so i may speak with her?"
Damien sits down on teh steps and leans back.
"I've been playing this game with her for over several years and each session ends up with one of us getting stunned. Stings like hell, but keeps our reflexes up." He chuckles and looks at COrporal. "I have an honest question for you. DOn't you ever get cold without fur?"
He sits quiet for a second adn snaps his fingers.
"That's right, i also encountered a beaver who wanted me to do a smuggle run for him, the squirrel, and fox. THey apparently work for some guy named Mr. Raynhem. It that helps any." He said with a shrug.

"Let's get the facts out of the way," Corporal answers. "First of all, thank you for the data, and I'll have the bar interrogated soon enough. Captain LaFleur is fine, and she's currently interrogating some toad prisoners at the Genus Military Railway, but she didn't seem willing to talk about who shot her."
Before he turns away, he remembers one more thing. "A lot of people have asked me if I'm cold without fur and the answer is 'no'. If you think this is cold without fur, try visiting my planet. At least you can as you're not on political exile!" he sighs heavily.
"Forgive me, I'm out of sorts lately. If you want to see Mimi, the next train that's due to arrive will be here in a few minutes. Just follow Corridor 7 straight on." He then moves off out of the hangar. "Sorry about Nass!" he calls to Damien before he disappears around a corner.

Runs up to COrporal, "Hey, what is with you? You look like a mess. SOemone shoot down your shuttle or something?" Damien asks as he catches up with Corporal. "If you wan tot atlk, i'll be on planetside for a coupel of hours. Tell Mimi for that for me as well. Really can't leve the shuttle, since she is being worked on and fully fueled. Tell her i do have something to talk with her about. It is smuggler's talk and i could really use her knowledge of information gathering."
He turns and walks back to the shuttle. Ayla is standing in teh doorway watching him. She shakes her head as he walks up.
"I'll never understand males." SHe mutters and walks back into the shuttle.

"What can I say, we're a tough group to figure out."
Drake grins as he brings in a hover cart with a beautiful Mark-4 engine, looking fresh and new like she just came off the asembly and carrying his other supplies in a duffel bag.
"Ahh... now anit she a beaut? Course, if I could get a hole of that O'Hare's engineer, see if I could barter off something for some specs on thier Mark-5 how happy that would make me."
Drakes tail starts to subconciously wag, till he realizes and stops.
"Ahem, shouldn't take more then a two-three hours to get this baby in and running, so when you get your business with the vixen taken care of, call me on the com."

Ayla smiles evily as she listens to Drake.
"A Mark-4? I bet i can get Damien to lose his lunch with that in the shuttle. Maybe plaster him against his chair as we pull a little to tight of a turn." SHe says slyly as she walks over tot he engine and starts studying it. "As for O'hare's engineer, taht could be a tough one. O'hare adn Damien don't exactly get along. Same views from extremely different points."
She follows Drake as he heads towards teh cargo hatch.
Meanwhile, Damien is sitting on the steps, legs outstretched and relaxing. He watches Ayla walk off with Drake around teh shuttle and shakes his head.
"By the way her tail is twitching, i would swear she is up to something." Damien thinks as he watches her.

Drake climbs back into the shuttle, quickly dismantaling the old engine and tossing it rather uncermonusly out.
"Good riddence to bad rubbish I say. Now, to bring this girl into the present."
Drake brings the new Mark-4 and slowly installs it, taking all the care of a father with a newborn, cooing, obilvious to Ayla behind.
"Yes... just think of the speed and manuverbility you'll be able to bring. Oh the thought of make my fur stand with anticipation."
He gives a sigh, his tail wagging like mad.
