Leah kept her eyes down as they led the captive away for her fate. She didn't say anything and walked down to her small little quarters to retrieve the new dress.

Why..Why would the woman do what she did. Made no sense, she must have known what this all meant. If she would have been smart she could have used the weapon on herself and avoided what was coming. This wasn't new to Leah, she just avoided looking at them and kept to her tasks, the last thing she wanted was to speak out and have the same fate.

Leah opened the door and glances around till finding the dress and smoothed it out looking it over.

She must have hope... dangerous as it was to hold on to. Bad part was at the moment Leah had to deliver this and she was losing the chance to escape fast.

She glanced the dress over once more and found a rather thin wire-frame among her things in the room, something perfectly easy to conceal and starting sewing it into the frame of the dress. It wouldn't be much but it might just give Tell a slight chance at catching the captain off-guard or use as a tool, it was a longshot at best.

The one named Jared must have been close, close enough to see where they where taking the other. Hopefully he could at least delay them for a while.

Leah stepped out and walked faster down to where Tell's cell was.

Problem was things had taken a turn she wasn't expecting. Tell was the new favorite.. and that was very dangerous. Leah despised the captain enough but as long as he payed her attention no one else on the ship would touch her. Even as she walked Leah felt others watching her. She wouldn't last long on the ship intact one way or another for much longer either way.

When she reached the door Nicholai was there waiting. He had the magnetic card in his hand. So Gerrat had trusted it to him but not to Leah. Things were worse than she thought.

Nicholai swiped the card and opened the door. That's where things went wild.

Instead of the broken woman and triumphant captain, they saw at a glance Gerrat lying dead at the feet of a naked but jubulant female. Nicholai dropped his medkit and grabbed out his disruptor. Leah reached for her weapon as well, but who she shot at would make a big difference to the direction her life was about to take.

For such a still moment it seemed an eternity. The captain was dead, she had the edge on Tell.. all she had to do is fire and she could make a bid to run this ship. All her problems would go away with such a death sentence, yet there was something in Tell's eyes.. some force of will behind her, something driving her. Leah couldn't blame her actions this time on her childhood, on her running with the wrong crowd, or on just getting by. There was the smart choice...and the right one.

Leah leveled her disruptor aimed and fired, a moment later Nicholai dropped to the floor beside her dead.

Tell looked over at Leah glad that she had made the right choice to kill the crewman. She made as if to run her hands through her hair but nothing was there. She had never killed anyone before but felt no remorse at Gerrats passing he deserved to die. This part of her life, this chapter was finished she had no one else to fear now.

"Don't suppose you have anything I could wear do you?" she asked "Any thing will do"

Leah looked to Gerret's body, there was more than one time she had wanted to see him dead, but perhaps it was good for Tell to have done it, as it should be her right. Leah glanced back to Tell and threw her the dress while shifting Nicholai's body out of the doorway and into the cell. Turning to watch the doorway while Tell dressed she simply said "We don't have much time the other two are in trouble".

Tell struggled with the dress over her painful shoulder. "Will what's in there repair my shoulder?" she asked Leah as she pointed to the med kit next to the dead Dr

Leah glanced to the medkit and picked it up while keeping her eye on the cell door.

"It should at least numb the pain a bit" Leah took out the hypospray and shot it to Tell's shoulder.

"Look if we make it out of this you need to take me with you, I don't figure I have much future left here. For now if we come up to crew members I will say I have captured you again. I will also let them know the captain is dead, and on this type a ship they will be fighting among themselves for control too much to notice us. And... that does look nice on you."

Leah smiled a bit, something she hadn't felt like doing for a while, and quickly turned to check their escape.

"Then come with us" replied Tell feeling better as the painkiller klicked in. "I'm sure Ro' will value an extra pair of hands aboard the ship. Just don't expect anything fancy or pretty. Its not like that, we don't call it a Rust Bucket for nothing you know."

Tell looked at the floaty dress she was wearing, she was unused to such girlie stuff, but as she didn't have a uniform..... it would have to do.

Leah gestured for Tell to follow when the corridor was clear and slipped out of the cell.
