Iris smiled and said “my helping hands at lady. Lucky for you I only need you when tools and weapons need to be repaired and I get overwhelmed. Right now you need to pick your weapons for on board then get to the captain for guard duty. Warning she will act like she doesn’t need it but she does...” she moved the table over so he could walk into the back and said “anything without a tag is free game.”

She went to check supplies then called out “you also need a sawtooth blade. The ropes on this ship are old and stiff”

Avery was working at the chart desk, the floating images above the table looking like ghosts. She was leaning against the table, barely able to stay upright but she kept going. She rubbed her eyes, hearing the dark chuckles behind her. She cursed and muttered “shut up...I can’t think with you giggling...”

Iris walked back over to him when he picked his weapons and tools. “Now before dinner you will need to check in with the Docs. But the twins will be slammed till dinner so I wouldn’t go down till dinner is about to start. You all set?”

Dominic quickly grabs his equipment, A short sword,Wheel lock pistol and a saw toothed knife.
'Seems like this may be a dangerous job' He thought jokingly as he examined them in turn to ensure they were up to his standards "Yes I believe we are done here." he said as he slowly test swung his sword "I will listen to you and see the doc after dinner, if there is nothing else I will go see the captain." He said as he turned to leave the room.

Iris nodded then tossed him a small clip with a screen on it. “That’s your pager. I’ll ring you if I need you and the whole crew can be reached on that. Helps get messages around. Captains cabin in just upstairs and the door is down the hallway...good luck”

Avery was walking around the table, her eyes killing her alone with everything else. She rubbed her temples, her steps uneven. She muttered “we have four pieces...we need four more...half way there...just four more pieces...”

Dominic quickly walked up to the captains cabin, unable to come to terms with the crew 'Such an odd group of people.' he thought with a chuckle, not to say he hated the crew, they seemed like they cared about each other more then some other groups he worked with. A small smile spread across his face as he came upon the captains door.
"Captain, Ma'am It's Dominic!" He calls out as he knocked on the door loudly.

Avery was leaning against the chart table and said “Come in...” when he walked in Avery looked worse then she had before. She was rubbing her temples as he came in. She said weakly “did you get all geared up? Find everything you need”

She stood up, closing her eyes. “Alright we are on the way...next port is in a week...”

Dominic Nodded as he entered. "Yes Ma'am I'm ready if need be. Where are we to go to port?" He asked as he took a quick look at the chart table. "You alright ma'am? you seem...Very unwell..." he asked gently. While he hadn't known her long, Dominic couldn't help but be worried about her. "Well an unwell captain...seems my life expectancy has dropped even more then before.." he thought bitterly.

She looked up and said weakly “I’m alright...just getting our course ready...we are trailing another ship so the actually port we end up at is...hard to figure..” she moved to show him around the cabin but her foot caught the end of the table and she tripped, landing hard on the floor.

Dominic frowned slightly as he listened. "So why are we following them? Or more to the point who are we following?" He said before the captain stumbled "You need rest..." He said sternly.

Avery slowly got up, coughing into her hand as she muttered “we have a lead on more...pieces of eight...we need them to lock away the Dark Heart once and for all...” she heard the dark chuckling again. And she covered her ears, leaning against the chart table. Dominic would hear then soft chuckle as well. Avery closed her eyes as she swayed, a couple tears running down her face. “Please...I can’t take anymore...” she looked at her wits end now Ash she moved around the table.

“I can’t fail father...I can’t be weak...”

Dominic couldn't help but take notice of the captains health. 'Well...she seems...not in the best of health' he thought as he moved to help her. "Looks like you could use a rest...won't do the crew any good if their captain collapsed from... fatigue I assume."

Avery shook her head and said weakly “I can’t stop...lives are at risk...I can’t stop holding it back...” she swayed and fell into him, breathing hard. She was hot to the touch and had sweat pouring down her face. She flinched and said “Dominic...I can’t stop till the job is done...” she gasped and lost her footing and fell to her knees, coughing. Blood hit her lips as she fought to to stop her shaking. She muttered weakly “I can’t let father down...”

Dominic keeled down next to Avery unsure of what to do. "Captain... if you keep going like this, you will die...and everyone who followed you will be left to clean up the mess." he said gently. He had never been good with people like the captain, but he had always been rather blunt with his speaking. "If you die before the deed is done...What kind of memory would that be? A captain that left behind her crew and got nothing done...now there is a sad sight." He said. While he spoke these words, Dominic couldn't help but well sorry for the captain, He knew the feeling of having a goal that he was willing to die for. He wanted to tell her that her crew needed her at her best, but he couldn't figure out a way to say it.

Avery flinched then she nodded weakly. “Your right...I’ve been pushing too far...I keep hearing him in my head laughing and it’s driving me mad...” she slowly got up with his help, closing her eyes. “Could you help me to the back room? It’s where my bunk is...”

There was a whistle and Avery groaned. “Crap...roll call...”

Dominic raised an eyebrow "Roll call? an hour of standing around in formation and getting your name read off of the ships crew list." he said with a chuckle. " I could imagine much worse Captain." He said as he offered the captain his arm "If you get tired you can use me to support yourself."

Avery nodded and said “okay...let’s get this over with...lucky we don’t read names...just go thru the tasks and make sure we are all set...”

They made it out to the main deck where Dante was waiting. He frowned and walked over looking worried “Captain...I knew it was bad but...” Avery smiled weakly and stood straight. “I will be fine...let’s get to work shall we...”

Dominic silently followed the captain and observed her doing her job. He was unsure of what to do as it seemed that there was little danger around the captain during this time. All around him the crewmen worked away at their tasks, each one vital to the function of the ship to some capacity. Though as a knight Dominic couldn't help but keep alert for any danger, no matter how unlikely it would be for danger to appear.

Dante and Avery walked among the men, getting tasks looked over and checked. She seem to be hiding her pain well but both men would see her eyes were straining and she kept stiff. Almost an hour later they were heading back to the cabin when a blast was heard. Avery turned to see one of the crates had exploded and she cursed. She took off running and Dante yells “Water! Arachnid!” A huge metal spider appeared and went flying by, two cannons appearing in on its back and blasting the flames. Avery was pulling a wounded crew mate out of harms way.

She was coughing as the flames died down and she sighed. “Thank heavens for that...good girl...” she patted the robot and the spider chirped happily. Avery jumped up and went to check another crate when she heard a click. She cursed and she said “get down!” The crew hit the deck as the crate by the first one went off. But the blast didn’t move out. Avery was holding her hands up, a white light shining around her hands. Somehow she was containing the blast to the crate. She painted, her eyes glowing silver. When the flames died in her bubble she left her arms drop and she stumbled back. She coughed as blood dropped from her nose. “Check...crates...Arachnid...do...scans...” then she fell backward, her body finally unable to keep going.

Dominic raised an eyebrow at the fallen captain. "Told you..." He muttered as he lifted her gently "Taking her to her quarters, Get whatever passes for a doctor with you. If you disturb her I swear on whatever god you follow that I will run you through" He said in a monotone voice. slowly and gently he carried her away to her quarters. Dominic felt odd as he carried the captain, there was little in the way of resistance from the crew as they were either alright with him speaking like that or they were frightened enough to not try and stop him. He had little time for people getting in his way at the moment. Although he promised not to harm te crew, if they got in the way of his job he could no longer guarantee his promise.

Dante yelled for more water and said “do your job, Dominic. I’ll send the doctor in a few minutes” he whistled and Arachnid was back dumping more water on the crates.

When they made it back to her cabin Avery stirred a little, fighting to open her eyes. She muttered as he went into the back where her bunk was “is...everyone...alright...”

Dominic Sighed "Worry about yourself, the crew do not seem to to be incompetents...I would assume they are doing alright." he said softly as he placed her on her bunk."Rest now or I will be forced to tie you to your bunk...For your own good captain." he said as he leaned against the wall, to ensure she stayed there. It wasn't that he wanted to make her feel threatened, but he knew the kind of person the captain was...he had seen them many times before...Over worked constantly, while she meant well by the work, she tended to cause more problems for the people she wanted to help.
"You can try to leave...but till the doc get here and gives the okay, YOU are not leaving here." He says with an emphasis on you.
