Jim blinked, "Um. Sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you, but it seemed like you were gonna rip off my face!" he exclaimed trying to prove his innocence.
Aisu muttered something incoherent and shifted again, her eyes shut tightly.

"Got a point there," replied Janzi. She looked at her claws. There was blood on them. "Did I hurt you badly?" Her claws sheathed again. "Jim, this is Aisu. I don't think she likes you much at all." Janzi smiled. "I don't know her too well yet, but I think she might at least be thankful he's not kicking us off the ship." The last few words she said rather deliberately, and she shot a hawkish look at Aisu.

"Uh. Nice to meet you Aisu?.." It was a question instead of a comment.
"Nice to meet you too Jimbo.." Aisu mummbled on the verge of sleep.
"Its Jim..Not Jimbo.." he replied.
"I'm tired and I don't really give damn so its staying Jimbo.." Aisu yawned.

"Jim, then? Did I scratch ya up too bad?" Her eyes ran over his face. "My claws have blood on them.. I must have got a little carried away." Janzi looked up at the sky. Her eyes ran over, then to the wide horizon. She'd be there soon.. no, she'd be farther. She smiled. "Jim.. might you introduce me to your friends?" A shadowed figure leapt to the deck, and strode over to where the sat. Her high boots were quiet as she walked. It was Captain Amelia. "And why does one have blood on her claws?" Amelia ran her eyes over each one of them, but her eyes scrutinized Janzi more carefully. Black.. bad luck. Gold, destiny. Tail, good luck. Strange.

"I'm fine I suppose.." Jim jumped up at the approach of Captain Amelia. "Hello Captain!" He said saulting her. What the heck? Was he drunk or just trying to be funny? It didn't matter. "These are my friends Aisu and Janzi!" Jim said fast at first, and then he slowed down trying to remember their names.
Aisu sat up groggily. "What'd I miss?" she yawned. "Oh Shi-" Aisu cut herself off as she noticed the captain. A frown crossed the cyborg's face.

"That so? Are they interested in joining the crew, then? Tell me, what might they be able to do?" Amelia's eyes rested on Jim. Janzi opened her mouth to speak, but Amelia shushed her. "I want Jim to answer." Amelia smiled. Janzi's eyes grew large. How would he know? Her ears pressed back against her skull, and her tail lashed nervously. She looked pleadingly at Jim, as if to say 'DON'T BLOW THIS!'

Jim grinned at Captain Amelia, "Well, Janzi could help us if we get in a bit of a jam with mice. And I'm sure she could help us with naviagtion. Aisu, being a cyborg, she should be able to help us with any repairs that need to be done." he replied smoothly.
Aisu muttered something about sterotyping and rolled over, trying to get to sleep again.

"Miss Aisu! I suggest you act more politely around your new Captain!" snapped Captain. "I have no room for disobedience. I've already taken a trip with an unpleasant crew, and I'm not prepared to do it again." Her eyes flashed dangerously, and Janzi jabbed Aisu with an elbow. "Be polite.. I don't want to get thrown off!" she whispered urgently.

Aisu sighed, "Sorry Captain. I'll be on my best behavior." she said sitting up. Sadly, she couldn't exactly see the Captain since she had already turned off her cyborg half for the night.
"Don't worry Amelia, I'll make sure she doesn't cause any trouble." Jim assured her, earning himself a glare from Aisu.

"Very well. Jim, since you they're your friends, you'll be the one to provide their place to rest. I gave you private quarters on this voyage, did I not? Small, but I'm sure you can all fit. That bunk's small though, you'll have to take turns." With that, Captain Amelia briskly stalked off, before gracefully leaping back into her window. "So, where we sleepin', Jim?" asked Janzi. She stood up, tail swishing from side to side. She gave a catlike yawn.

"Ummmm. Over there." Jim replied pointing towards the crew quaters. "Second door on the right." he glanced at Aisu and shrugged. She looked comfortable, so he left her be.

Janzi quickly shrank, and trotted down the hall as a cat. She didn't like sleeping in cat form, but she was going to be polite. She leapt up onto the end of the bed, curled, tucked her tail over her nose, and went to sleep.

Jim stopped halfway to his room and turned back. He glanced at Aisu. 'A cyborg.. Just like Silver.. I wonder if she knows him?..' Jim shook his thoughts away. Even if he did ask her he doubted that she would tell him. It seemed Aisu hated Jim. But why? Jim frowned and then continued into his room. "Um. Janzi, you can unmorph if you like." Jim said laughing slightly. He walked over to his window which was rather large and sat down on the window-bench. His gaze found its way to the sky and a distracted look appeared in his eyes.
Aisu shifted. She had felt someone's eyes on her and she was certain it was Jim. She stood up quietly, and swiftly went down to the engine room. The soft hum of the machines soothed her. Aisu's eyes glazed over as she fought sleep. She was scared one of her nightmares would invade her sleep again.

Janzi purred gratefully, and stretched out. Her body elongated, her fur receded, and what was left was the Felinid girl lying on the bed. She rolled over on her back, looking at the ceiling. "Jim.. where's this ship bound for?" She sounded distant and tired.

Jim shrugged, "I don't remember right off hand. I just know the place has so many people, Alien or not, its insane. You can't walk two feet and not get shoved into a wall." he replied, his gaze remaining on the stars in the sky.
