Neo heard Ian's radio call.
"Already? Well I better strap my gorram self in cause he doesn't sound like a piolit."
Neo looked around for a bulted down chair.
"Now where is a chair that I could use?"

Alex buckled herself in quickly. A thousand things went through her head but she tried to concentrate and follow Ian's lead.

Neo leaped into the lounge seats and straped himself in.
"Why do I have this feeling that our current piolet is an amatuer?"

"Okay then..." Ian began flipping switches, trying to remember as much as he could from the war. "It's alright Capt'n... I'm pretty sure I remember how to fly a cargo tug from back with the Independants..." He frowned, "Well.... technically fly..."

"if we could not crash that would be good" she said trying to make heads or tails of the controls. She wasn't very good with technical things. "maybe we get the engineer in the engine room" Alex said hoping to live to be embarrassed by this later.

"SAM!" Eain shouted, "Help us keep this boat in the sky!!" Eain pulled back on the stick trying to bring the nose level with the horizon. "Yeah... crashing would be bad..."

Alex moved the controls and ,unable to think of anything to say, she stared wordlessly at the fast approaching ground.

"I'm right here," said Samantha as she got up, "You don't need to shout. And please don't crash my first job would you."
Samantha hurried to the engien room to keep things steady from that point. As she past Neo she said, "Hello Neo. Please keep your seat. We have a dufas at the wheel."
Samantha got to the engian room and went to work.

Ian flicked on the vox "Heard that, Sam! Never flown a firefly before let alone a fubar'ed rebuilt pile of- WHOA!" He pulled hard on the controls as Sam pushed more power to the engines, bringing the nose back level. ".... That should do it... I hope..."

"Thank God I brought this."
He took out a flask and shoved the open top in his mouth taking a long swig.

Samantha managed to get things going. Now she's just keeping it going for the 'safe' landing she hopes would be very soon.

"Yeah... sure..." Ian said, biting his lower lip. He flicked on the wave and contacted the tower, "This is the firefly ought-three 'Miranda' coming in for a landing, requesting platform." The staticy voice came back, "You need to request permission to land, "Miranda", no platform is readied..." Ian shouted at the console as the voice finished, "Its either you give us a platform for us to land on or we're going to be crashing into the nearest one, gorramit!"
Dead silence came over the audio, then the voice spoke quickly, "Platform three beta i-is just ready! Welcome to Ariel, Miranda..." The channel cut as Ian began to lower the ship to the port. The skids touched down with a thump and the ship came to a halt.
"Well... that wasn't so bad.... Capt'n; remind me to shoot Eva when we find her..."

Samantha breathed a sigh of relief when she felt the ship landing. If that was all the excitment for the day she would be quite content. However she may need to check the landing gear to make sure they weren't damaged in that.
Samantha rubbed the grees she got on her hands through her hair, and stepped out of the engien room.
