Marcus tried to open it with Jasone, but to no avail. Then Warden shouted she could open it making Marcus chuckle. "How are you- Hey!" He jumped back at the site of this almost liquid like metal creeping it's way up the door and forcing it open. His jaw dropped but was quickly shut as he regained himself. "Well then." He said exchanging a glance with Jason then watched Warden walk right in. "Ladies first." He then remarked with a luxurious waving motion towards the door.

Kijani surveyed her fellow prisoners, frowning mildly when yet another showed up. She was distracted by the new female with the metal pole, when the child named Warden did something spectacular. Her clothes themselves became gilded with metal, which seemed to take over the door. Whatever was keeping it locked didn't last long, and the way was now open before them. Kijani looked to the little girl with a lot more curiosity, now, and much more calculation. The child had just become incredibly useful.

"Warden!" She smiled sweetly, and followed the girl through the open door, making sure her vines were still set and ready. The many seeds threaded into her hair and clothes thrummed with hidden energy. When she'd been searched before transport, the guards had been so busy looking for traditional weaponry that they hadn't noticed the unique inner lining of her suit. Then again, what could one expect from short-sighted plebians such as those security officers? Honestly, they wouldn't know a cravat from a ascot if it was shoved down their throat. "You are full of surprises, Warden! I am impressed!" She tried to keep up the guise of a proud adult, but she was much less sure of how effective it would be. She really hadn't had much contact with proud adults, or children.

"Warden!" Kijani sweetly called to her smiling when she went through. Warden looked behind her shoulder and happily grinned at Kijani whilst opening her arms hoping for a hug. "You are full of surprises, Warden! I am impressed!" When she stopped a few steps in front of her she walked over and hugged her hips as she praised her.

"Thank you, aunt Jani! Warden will keep it up! Just tell Warden if you need something hit! Warden will do it happily!" She continued to latch onto Kijani in a hug.

Kijani's eyes widened, and she froze up as Warden hugged her. It took her a moment to get her composure back, and as soon as she felt herself again, she gently patted the girl's head. "Aunt 'Jani is very proud of you, little Warden, and I'm certain things will need hitting as we go on. I will know just who to ask to do that." She smiled, hoping it wasn't revealing the odd pattern of her emotions. "Now let me go, I have to make sure we are safe."

Jason stared in amazement and curiosity at what Warden did to the door, thinking hard about just how it could be possible, and the possibilities she held. He smiled and walked in after the females, looking back at Marcus. "Full of surprises, isn't she?" He said with a smile before stopping next to Warden and patting her head. "Good job, Warden." He said before walking up to the captain's chair and taking a look around. "They left in a hurry..." He said as he sat down, noticing the mug on the arm of the chair, full of now cold coffee. He started typing commands, trying to get at the captain's log or some other log that would give them any hindsight on what happened. In the background, though, he was also checking the status of the ship, to see if they would be able to maneuver it.

Marcus followed Jasoofinto the bridge. "Indeed." He said with a nod to Jason's remark. With this ability of Warden's there should be no where that they can't get to. It was then that Macus noticed the vines twisted around Kijani's hand forming a glove, and thought it was odd. Deciding it was not the time to inquire about the abilities of others he followed Jason to the captain's consol and chair. As he passed Warden and Kijani he gave a pat on Warden's shoulder and a wink to Kijani.

-Hello There!

"Well well well, what have we here?" A cultured voice said from behind the others. Jacque stood in the doorway leaning a bit on the cane as his hands overlapped its handle. He should have known that expecting the 'Captain' to still be on the bridge would be a pipe dream, however this discovery was just as interesting, especially with the presence of what seemed to be a child. Jacque reached up and tilted down his glasses, boring into everyone in the room with a pair of glowing red eyes as he cut to the chase before anyone could question who he was, "Is the captain of this vessel captured or is he still free? Speak quickly, time is short, and i've no interest of being taken to my executioner if I can avoid it.".

Jason looked through the ship's report and nodded, not noticing the "Hello there!" on the end on his first glance. "Well, the ship seems to be perfectly fine, so-- wait, what?" He let out, cutting himself short before snapping his gaze back to the screen. "Hello there?" He asked before looking up at the others for a moment, then reaching for the keyboard once more and typing in the obvious question. "Hello. Who are you?" He typed and hit enter.

Just as he did, though, someone else entered the bridge. Jason looked up at the person for a couple seconds, then looked back at the screen. "Neither do we, pal. The captain is not here, that's all I can tell you." He said as he tried to access the navigation systems to see where they were and where they were headed to, having a feeling that their destination could have been changed. If not, he would do his best to rectify that.

"Whats up with that?" Marcua asked seeing the odd message

Marcus turned seeing who was there about the same time Jason did, and after Jason reaponded he spoke "The crew are gone including the captain. That message you heard was one of the prisoners having a bit of fun... probably that one guy, whats his name, Joker?"

---

There wasn't a reponse from the computer at first but as Jason tried to access the navigation the screen flashed before going blank.

[Computer]
I am having fun, but you can't do that.

"Yay for Warden!" She let Kijani away from her hug and ran after the others into the bridge. Jason had his interest inside the console while Marcus was looking over his shoulder, or so it seems. Warden felt inquisitive so she began to look at all the pretty boring green screens mounted on top of computers and began typing random numbers and letters and continuingly inputting them in. One console upon another. "Auntie look! I'm working!" She said as she continually to type on the keyboard randomly and pressing enter every now and then.

Jason leaned back on the captain's chair, taking his finger to his chin. "Open the pod bay doors, HAL." He said absentmindedly before reaching for the keyboard again. "As long as we're not headed in our original direction, I won't try to change the course." He typed in plain text, figuring the computer would be able to understand what he meant. "Okay, so the ship's AI went rogue and scared the crew away." He said after a moment, having deducted it, looking back at Marcus, not noticing what Warden was doing.

Kijani raised her eyebrows as Warden started banging on keys. "Ah, Warden... please don't do that. We don't know what that will do, the ship could break." She kept a benevolent smile on her face as she gently lifted Warden up. "Looks like you need something to do." She frowned, patting down her suit pockets, before she palmed something and crouched. "...want to see a fun trick, Warden?" She held out her hand in a closed fist, the one that wasn't wrapped by vines.

Jason's words reached her ears, though, and her gaze flicked toward the consoles. "What do you mean, the AI went rogue?" She hated the concept of AI for that reason- she didn't like anything that was able to outsmart her. Didn't people understand that they could easily create something that would spiral out of control? Honestly... the book collection she had at home had just as much information, and couldn't threaten her life in the process.

Jacque narrowed his eyes at Jason, figuring that if the ship's A.I. was the one in charge and not whomever was on the intercom, that he might as well offer a bit to the situation, "You said the unit went rouge? What kind of A.I. unit is it? If it's Elysium tech then i'm not surprised, a few of their models were prone to going rouge,the Turamacula series was the worst, with rampancy resulting in a few deaths which lead to a factory recall. Perhaps this one runs on the same software.". Jacque considered mentioning that the later elysium models came with kill switches, however if the A.I. had another means of communicating with the people on board beyond the computer screen then it would be best to hold his tongue and keep that knowledge as an ace in the hole. Whatever the case, the situation was still less than desirable, and worser still, he was beginning to get thirsty. 'That stupid fool on the intercom who wasted my time earlier would make for a nice refreshment....' Jacque internally mused, allowing himself to focus on the idea of what he would do to Jester rather than focusing on the dry feeling growing in his throat.

Jester looked at his cane he had been running around for a while he swapped it to the scanner real quick to display where people were, he saw the mass on the bridge. "Well my pretties, what can I do today oh fun must be had, before death bring us do." He changed his cane to the intercom and used the voice from earlier, "Well I see you entered my bridge, silly to try to find me there, you thought I'd sit in the most obvious place waiting for you? HAHHAHAHAHAHA, no no no, instead I run, I track for fun. Now I must ask, can you find me, or do you give up?"

Jason looked at Kijani as she spoke, then at Kacque before looking at the console again. "I don't really know what kind of AI it is... there's nothing on the log screen that I can use to deduct that." He said. Normally that information, as well as the date and time and the name the AI went by could be found on one of the corners of every console as a constant reminder, but here it was missing and every time he tried to access the screen with that information, he was sent back to the home screen. Just as he was about to speak again, though, the PA system beeped again before the voice from before started to talk about looking for him or giving up. "God, this guy is getting on my nerves!" He said before typing on the console. "Can you PLEASE space that idiot?"

Warden laughed like a child when Kijani picked her up away from the console of the computers. She was unsettled and continued to fidget around every part of her body as she felt bored. Kijani's soothing smile made her happy and focused towards her. "Looks like you need something to do..." She fiddled around her suit's pockets and clutched onto something that made Warden go 'Ooh!' in excitement. She looked into the closed fist and asked Kijani.

"What is it? What is it?" She placed her face in front of the fist.

Kijani summoned a bit of power, and the seed in her hand reacted. Slowly, she opened her palm, as the seed's fragile roots anchored themselves around a finger. The seed grew into a beautiful flower. It was yellow and cone shaped, and dangled with it's pretty yellow petals toward the floor. "This is what is called angel's trumpet. It is very pretty, and very dangerous." There was a touch of wickedness in her smile. "Just like Auntie. Now, I want you to hold onto this, but don't touch it with your skin. If any bad person tries to hurt you, and they don't go away when you hit them, you make them eat the flower."

After recovering from his burn Eric continued down the hall way finding the Pod bay. He examined all the doors seeing they were all gone he looking out the small windows to see if one had malfunctioned and hadn't actually launched. "Well, I guess-" just then one of the doors opened and Eric was sucked out into space.

"Auntie look! I'm working!" She said as she continually to type on the keyboard randomly and pressing enter every now and then.

Becca turned to see Jacque and upon noticing he was a Vampire she immediately had a heart attack. The fear still struck upon her face as she lay dead.

---

Marcus thought and listened trying to understand what had happened to the ship that made it this way. His Looking to the console Warden was on there was a message saying: Bay door 13 open. He reached over and pressed the flashin button to colse the door when the PA came on. After Jason vooced his frustration Marcus turned to Jacqua and started to speak when Becca let out a scream amd fell to the ground. "Well." Marcus said walking to her body. "Did she just die?"

"Ooh! Pretty flower!" Upon hearing that the flower was both pretty and dangerous she eyed it carefully and took her sleeved hand and tucked the flower into her top pocket. "I understand auntie! I'll take care of your flower and user it on bad guys!" She lumbered around the bridge trying to just not touch anything that she sees. It was difficult to keep her desires in check so she went to a bookshelf and began to take books from their places with her metal alloys and began ripping pages out. "I'm bored auntie!"

Jason sighed and shook his head after he checked that Becca was indeed dead. He knew what was going on, but everything seemed so weird to him that he couldn't help but laugh. "Oh, man, that was weak." He said before straightening up. "Anyway, I don't think we can do much else here..." He said, looking around the bridge before wondering what to do. He then got an idea, and went to a console to try and get a diagram of the ship.
