Kabocha almost smacked Kai for rating Sasha so low, she was clearly an eight or a nine. They used to do this sort of thing back on Kortal, and by they he meant more him and Choi; Takeshi always said he didn't care for it but Kabocha was convinced he was a closet perv, as was Kai. Choi sort of spoiled the moment by comparing the new girl to Yumi though, someone who he personally didn't want anything to do with. Sure she was all smiles now but she could get real nasty, that and he just didn't think she was really that attractive. She lacked certain... Traits that he was after in a woman. Smiling amused instead at Kai's later remark he glanced back at his friend, offering a shrug of his shoulders before giving Sasha a look over. "So? Like Choi said, ditch the jerk somewhere. Besides she's a big girl, she doesn't need her brother to escort her or keep her safe, that's what us men are for." Now which one of them was going to take the first shot at her then, hm? Choi was still tied down to Yumi even though they were on a 'break', which left him and Kai; Kai having said something rather than totally blow him off told him there was some interest, so the two of them would be competing then. Would bragging about being of noble birth do anything for her, he wondered? "What do you think Kai, should we see who can get her by the end of the day?"

Yumi was making it a point to stay alongside Viral, even if Choi was here and she did want to spend a little time with him as well. Though the Beastman had been in a healing tank and treatment had begun he didn't seem much better, if anything his condition was very samey. At least there was finally something to be positive about, with Namek on the horizon and all, with luck her friend would be back to his old self before they knew it. She couldn't get Viral psyched about it yet it seemed, and he probably wouldn't be until they were well on their way to the planet. Instead of getting all excited about his impending recovery he wanted... Coffee? Okay, that was a little random, actually a lot random. Since when did Viral drink coffee? "Uh... Oh, okay! Sure, I'll make you a pot!" Yumi answered, smiling as she gave a nod of her head, "And of course you'll be able to keep up. You started your treatment so things are bound to start improving, and then when we do get to Namek you'll be better thanks to Aito. And of course we took coffee with us, there's a couple of bags in the pantry last time I checked. Come on, we can let them handle this here, we'll go get you some coffee." Reaching for one of the Beastman's paws she tried pulling him along, making her way towards the doors.

This was awfully convenient, in a way, how the rebels just so happened to have the coordinates for Namek right when they were leaving to search for it. As Ricken had so casually pointed out they did have an ulterior motive, but Vegeta couldn't help to think there may be even more to this matter than what they had been told. Perhaps he was being a little cynical, but why go out of their way, especially when they had been fighting the Saiyans, only to turn around and help out? And for that matter... "When Korian told us to stay away, why was that? What happened back there that ended up forcing you to call us off?" They could certainly handle themselves in a fight and never before had the rebels turned them away, so why now? The fact that the two siblings shared a knowing glance with one another made Vegeta even more curious, and he was fair annoyed that something wasn't being shared with him. "You're on my ship, and while I am grateful for your help finding Namek I won't take having information withheld kindly. Now out with it, what happened?"

"We're not wholly sure, really. We were just starting to engage the Saiyans when these things began appearing, and other ships seemed to just... Pop in out of nowhere," Ricken explained, frowning as he recounted the event, "It wasn't a Saiyan ship, we know that because the Saiyans started attacking these ones as soon as they showed up. A few of our ships were attacked and boarded, so we had to stop fighting the Saiyans and focus on saving our ships. There were these weird creatures on the ships, and it was really hard to kill them but we managed to drive them off."

"It was really weird too, they didn't just die when we killed them!" Sasha added, gesturing with her hands as she spoke, "They turned into plumes of smoke and vanished, just like that. We looked around on every ship but there wasn't a single body anywhere, it's like they just vanished. Korian and Sayomi seemed worried about whatever they were though and ordered an immediate retreat, so we've spent the last few days repairing ships and taking care of our wounded back on Uuonoe."

Creatures turning into smoke, hm? That sounded eerily familiar to what they had encountered before, but that had been on their ship already. To think there were ships of these things, and that they were bold enough to attack both rebel and Saiyan alike. For that matter what or who was orchestrating these attacks? Vegeta had fought one of these creatures before and it was nowhere near sentient enough to plan an assault, meaning someone had to be pulling the strings from behind the scenes. "I see... Odd that those things would show up like that... Very odd..." Later on he'd have to try getting in contact with Sayomi and speak to her about it, see if she had been able to find anything on the beasts. For now however they should focus on getting the siblings settled in and unpack what they had brought along; getting to Namek was the priority still and if they had the means of reaching it now they'd best not waste time standing around. "Let's not waste any more time idling around, I'd like to start looking at the information you brought. Shu, Takeshi, mind helping me carry some of these to the bridge?" Vegeta asked, going ahead and grabbing one of the boxes himself. 

"Some of that is medical equipment Vegeta, so shouldn't some go to the med bay?" Sasha asked, grabbing another box herself.

"Ah... Fair point. Kai, Choi, Kabocha, you three aren't doing anything, are you? No? Good, take the medical equipment and get to work." Vegeta stacked a second box onto his own as Ricken helped himself to one, the three of them making way for the doors and leaving the rest to be sorted out by the others.

Takeshi really didn't want to be someone's pack mule, even if it was for some important stuff. The fact Vegeta more or less dumped the work on them too and just up and left was annoying, it made him really want to not do as he was asked just to spite the guy. Figuring though it really wouldn't take all that long anyways he let out a sigh, shrugging his shoulders as he went ahead and grabbed one of the boxes. "What a jerk, thinking he can order us around," he grumbled, frowning as he hoisted up his box and watched as Vegeta and the siblings left the hangar, "Come on Shu, we may as well do it, then we can get back to playing. I've got a few ideas we can try. You guys are welcome to join us too if you..." Takeshi trailed off when he looked back at his friends, narrowing his eyes when he noticed Kabocha staring at someone's rear, who he could only guess was Sasha. Not only was that an awful idea but sheesh, have some tact around Shu. Never mind the fact he himself could be a little perverse, there was no need for that right now. "Kabocha... Really? Is there any girl you won't stare at?"

"Yumi, for starters! She's spoke for," Kabocha said casually, grinning as he slapped Choi on the back, "And I think I'm good for playing. I've got some stuff I need to do anyways, that little game was enough for me. I'll just bring a box to the bridge like Vegeta asked and get to work." And by work he meant hitting on Sasha, with or without Ricken there. Sure the guy came across as an ass but far as intimidating? Nope, he didn't worry about the other boy at all, he didn't seem that strong anyways. Smirking as he grabbed up a box of his own he gave a small wave to T'charrl as he started to leave, stopping back at the twins and winking at Kai. "Come on man, grab a box and let's go chase us some tail, hm? Before Vegeta starts getting all sweet with her."
