Haven - Central Core
Jiko is more than a little taken aback by the dossier of himself just kind of being there. But as words flicker on the screen he catches two in particular.
"I don't think...he has a choice. Pain? Help?" He trails off after this, more than a little offput. But also, relatively calm. After all, he's had a year of bounty hunters coming after him...what's one more? He thinks briefly of Rakiri as well, knowing that...if he can change one mind...
Assuming you've changed that one mind at all.
The Bridge
"Oh hello again Karx." Michael nods to Alex's statement understanding what he meant. "Outside that report though I did find out about some great stops, restaurants and the like. Maybe once this job is over and we get paid, we should go as a crew and enjoy ourselves." He says excited by the idea.

"This is... I don't really know what to say..." Dominic says, making a mental note to remember the terms he just saw. He then sees the twin blades, and approaches them carefully, though he stops within a (relatively) safe distance.
"We should probably check and see just how many people are after you." Dominic remarks to Jiko, simultaneously being serious and snarky.
Dominic & Mitch's Room
"For a while? Sure. It's nice to have some company anyways." Mitch says, playfully stroking Rakiri's hair. "Do you just want to rest or do something else?"

"Even if he has arranged transport for us, which would be superb, I would feel better if some people would stay aboard, for security reasons, there could be a rotating shift at it, if any of them want shore leave as well, but. If you're willing to help with that, Alex, I certainly appreciate it." He smiles, a little sheepishly, "Whatever the appreciation of an exogeologist/personal craft mechanic is worth. I'm hardly the end all be all authority on the ship," he nods at the narcoleptically catatonic captain snuggling up to him in the chair, "Though, I happen to be familiar with how his mind works.eHaven-Central Core
Lex lovingly rubs Jiko's back, trying to reassure him, "Well...we can try to help him... maybe garner some trust." she examines the string of numbers, quickly memorizing them, "0221163...a code, perhaps? Maybe there's somewhere to plug it in?"At Dom's comment, she smiles teasingly, "Am I included in the list of people "after you"?"

"Worst case scenario? He ignore the mission. There is no way we have those cannons fire at us, they are state of the art!" Michael emphasizes.
The Medbay
Rylan's fever had seemingly started to cool a little. His heavy breathing and sweating starting to slow by Merrick's observations. As Rylan rolled over, near face down on the bed, Merrick might be able to notice some kind of marks on his back and on his neck.

Merrick approaches Rylan, readjusting the tubes and wires from the IV and monitor, glad his symptoms are abating, though he has takes a closer, examining look to find out what these markings might be.Bridge

Jiko leans into Lex as she rubs his back, squeezing her hand tight for a moment.
"We can only hope," he says, scratching the back of his head. When Dom makes his joke (is it a joke? Jiko can't really be sure) he smirks.
"Well...so far I've run into...five? No, six different collectors. The scariest being this woman in power armor with an arm cannon, but she ended up taking a different job before she could catch me. Something about space pirates and endangered species or something."
Then, at Lex's own jab, he merely gives her what he hopes is the most charming look he can muster and says, "Depends. Technically you already got me. I mean unless you're after something else and, to be fair babe, I don't think this is the time or place."
The Med Bay
Merrick examining closer can see a few things. Some kind of writing on the back of his neck, inked on but stretched, perhaps stretched from growth? Indicating it has been there for quite some time. The writing usually hidden by his headphones, hoodie or hair but it doesn't work soo well when it is asleep. 0221163 PPATD
Other than that there are odd discolorations on his back in areas which would normally be difficult to see when the person is up and about. To Merrick's trained eye, the signs of repeated injury. Like a wounds or perhaps incisions on the same spot a numerous number of times. While they have been treated and someone has tried to cover them up, and it is done well there is a limit to how much it can be done without leaving some mark a trained professional would notice.

Lex smiles, holding Jiko's hand just as tight, especially when he talks about the 'collectors' though she cracks a smile, "Sounds like you're a pretty hot commodity." she raises her eyebrow at the mention of space pirates and endangered species, chuckling lightly, but not commenting on it specifically. For someone so young, he's certainly seen some things...She intertwines her fingers with his, smiling and melting a bit with his charming look, "Well, aren't I the lucky winner." after a quick, loving peck on his cheek, She looks around. "We should probably try to help him fast, then find our way out, before we get potentially stuck in here permanently."
Med Bay
Merrick furrows his brow and jots down what he sees to look into the inked portion later. He also does a brief x-ray of the scarred area presently, and takes a quick tissue sample to run through genome analysis later, looking for anything anomalous.The Med Bay
The X-ray comes back at initial glance as pretty normal for someone of his age. Though on further analysis some things seem a little bit off. His bone density for one is quite a bit higher than normal and his vascular tissue equally is seemingly denser and stronger than usual.
With deeper examination and Merrick's medical knowledge he is certainly able to pick up traces of wounds that haven't other-wised healed properly, if they ever will. The most unusual parts of the X-ray however is most certainly the anomalies in the brain matter. Even taking denser vascular tissue into account there seems to be some kind of anomaly located just above the corpus callosum. (it is the part of the brain that joins the two hemispheres, responsible for allowing the two sides to communicate.)

"Well, 'hot commodity' might be a stretch, but yes you are," he says in a teasing manner as Lex pecks his cheek.
Eugh....
"And you're right, we should see if there's anything we can do while we have this chance..." Jiko says, separating from Lex for the moment to approach the console. Not knowing what else to do, he lightly puts his palm to the machine, seeing if he can map out the flow of energy powering it. He's not sure if it will actually lead to anything conclusive...but it's worth a try.
Med Bay
Merrick takes pause as he examines the x-ray. In his mind, the abnormal density and strength of bone and vascular could be explained by a not entirely human ancestry, or perhaps simply beneficial mutations within his genes, perhaps. That remained to be seen. The brain anomaly, though... it's not like he was going to go hacking into the poor kid's brain to see what it was... he decided to talk to Rylan about it when he woke up. See if he knew what it might be. If all else failed, he had a specialist or two in his circles that he could contact. People more knowledgeable about Terrans and the intricacies of their minds. They were rather far from the Lyca system, and expensive, but he could try to pull a few strings with this last bit.Thoughts weighing heavily on his mind, he makes his way over to the genome analyzer and preps the tissue sample to be examined.
Haven-Central Core
Lex smiles at his teasing and the kiss. While Jiko is attempting to map out the energy, Lex stays put, though her eyes map out the platforms above them, completely skimming over the available ladders. She could make it, she thought, given the right amount of running space, she could easily make it up there in a leap to scout out the upper levels once she was sure Jiko wasn't about to be fried.Haven - Central Core
As Jiko begins to try and map out the energy int he area, it is a near overwhelming sensation for a few moments before he can adjust. The rooms energy seemingly flowing wildly throughout the area in seemingly random directions and volumes. Focusing down upon the console specifically he can feel a variety of pulsations leading out of the door behind them on the ground floor. Leading out across the ground like veins in a body.
The other noticeable thing Jiko can feel is the blackened goop in the cracks and cut marks is seemingly distorting this flow of energy. In some places throughout the room out-right stopping it in its tracks.

Jiko winces as he gets used to the immense amount of power in the room, taking it in in the same way one might "see" when they are looking for something in their pocket. He has no words to describe it, and reaches back slowly in the hopes of catching Lex's hand or arm or what-have-you. He figures the best way to transfer the information is to share it telepathically but...well, he's not one. If she isn't there anymore, he paws at the air for few moments before feeling embarrassed and putting his hand in his pocket.
Med Bay
Merrick gets bored and decides, Fuck it, let's see what we can do to hack into that poor kid's head. Where'd I put the jackhammer?I'm sorry, that must have been a translation error, that's not what happened at all. He waits patiently for the analysis to process, and hacked into no 15 year old skulls with a jackhammer on this particular occasion.
Haven-Central Core
Lex smiles a little as Jiko reaches back for her hand, and she steps up to him. She has a feeling he's not quite able to communicate verbally right now, so she opens her mind to his, trying to build a telepathic bridge, What's up, babe? Is something the matter?edited 7th Mar '16 2:17:47 PM by GhostElm

"So do any of you have a problem with humid environments? The planet's surface is mostly water so be prepared." He says informatively while piloting but occasionally looking up at the screen with the screen with the information.
