Engine Room to Dining Hall[/center][/h2]

Jinxy heard Amir's voice over the intercom and sighed, looking around at the carnage that was now the engine room. Sure, she was going to fix it eventually, but she had to start somewhere. And given her current emotional state, it was easier to destroy than fix.

She had spent most of the time before dinner was served wreaking up the engine room. Sure, it put them in a bad position if they needed to leave but honestly, the way the engine was before, they weren't exiting Atmo with the engine the way it was. Jinxy had also pulled the parts Amir and Angel had managed to procure into the engine room, hoping to start fixing them tomorrow. 

But, did she want to fix them? Did she want to stay here. The memory of Amir's words were like slaps to her face. Something he paid for. That was the last thing she had wanted to hear from him. That's all she was. She couldn't do it, not again. Not feel like property. It made her sick. Sure, no one knew her history, and she had come dangerously close. She had even shown Amir the mark on her stomach.

Her hand absently traced over the scar as she thought about it. It had been a long time since she had felt a pang of pain from the scar mark. Fifteen years... She shook her head and set down her wrench and dried her eyes. Dinner was not going to be a time for reminiscing and crying. She wasn't ready to face Amir and Trish yet, but her stomach was demanding food. 

Jinxy headed to the dining room alone and silently sat in one of the chairs, and looked at what was offered as 'dinner' tonight. It looked half-way decent. It wasn't prison food, but, it was still not what one would call food. It was better than the night before's offering, but it was still not appetizing. Not with Trish and Amir at the table with them. However, she decided to break the silence first.

[color=6ecff6]"So until further notice, we're going to be grounded for a bit. I had to start taking apart the engines to see what I could salvage before remaking them. And we're still missing some of the parts I really need, so until we get them, we're gonna be stuck here. But I figured that was the plan anyways, since this junker wasn't going to last getting out of Atmo of this planet. We had enough for a one way trip, but she didn't have too much more to offer after that. But since I did have to take the engines apart, I am making the engine room off-limits for everyone's own good. There are parts and things everywhere. It will be a mess till I start putting everything back together."[/color] She didn't look up from her food as she spoke, but waited to hear the complaints file in. She had effectively grounded them all together on the ship.
