((*snort* I so love it when RPG'ers remind me of my real-life traits...))
Switch headed ovet to the bar, relieved at finally seeing the glum expression firmly off his new comrades.
"Yo! A double shot please!" he shouted over the noise to the bar-man. His order slid over the worn surface of the bar. He shot out a hand to grab and took the first burningly relaxing sip of his drink.
He let out a contended sigh and felt himself sink into blessed turgor.

Hikki slipped back to Switch's side, her face flushed as she said, "I would have never guessed that we had a club in Zion!" She eyed his drink and asked, "I suppose that there is an age-limit to drinking right?"
She would have liked to have a strawberry martini but the odds looked slim. She looked around them and asked, "Where'd Kai go?"

"Its not a club! It's a recreation and relaxation facility!"said Switch pretending to be outraged at having his heaven being labelled a barbaric 'club'. "And you can get a drink. Right now." He signalled the barman who promptyl slammed a frothy concotion before a very wary Hikki.
"Cheers!" Switch said, toasting her.

Hikki smirked, "Recreation facility you say?" She picked up her drink and clinked her glass against his, "I drink to that sir!"
She took a sip of her drink and let out a sigh of contetment. "This has got to be heaven." She took another sip before asking, "I suppose you haven't seen Kai. Fat chance that he'll be dancing.." 'Not that I know that he dances.....as according to him he has two left feet.' she thought with a grin.

((Headphones are currently blaring 'Zion' from the Reloaded OST )) "Dunno," Switch replied, looking around. He wasn't worried but who knew where Kai could end up. Behind the sunny exterior of the place was a seething core of angry disenchantment. A guy had to watch his step. "Hikki you stay here. Dont talk to anybody you dont know okay? I'm gonna take a look around," Switch said as he got up. He noticed a very beefy guy eye Hikki. "On second thought. Follow me."

When they reached the club, Kai covered his ears. This definitely wasn't a place he would like. Briefly he went in after the others, and looked around. But, after a few minutes he couldn't stand the noise and people anymore, and left, deciding to find something HE was interested in. Kai found all the ships, and walked around as people fixed and tuned up the machines.

Hikki raised an eyebrow and said, "Ok." Her gaze went to where Switch was looking and she said,"Now thats a tad disturbing."
She put her now empty glass on a nearby empty table and trotted alongside Switch, her eyes darting around her for Kai.

And they might have found him, IF Kai were there. But he was with the mechanics, talking and a few of them would show him the parts and explain to him about it all. A couple times he was lucky enough to actually work on a bit of a ship, ((with the mechanic telling him EXACTLY what to do.)) He was happy about all this, didn't show it, but he was. Kai just continued to walk around that area.

Switch walked past the nasties in a hurry, never letting Hiki out of his sight.
Great, just great! he thought furiously to himself. I plan a nice little break for myself and next thing you know I'm playin' baby-sitter and Nanny to some starry-eyed new recruits who wouldnt know their way around a tin can!
"This way," he said muttered softly to Hikki. She followed him out the exit wordlessly. Switch contemplated the sight of his perfect outing falling to pieces around him. He'd be lucky if Acid let him off easy.
When I get my hands on that Kai..., he thought savagly to himself.

Kai was again working on a small transport device. The owner was fixing it, and seemed glad for the help. He was just kneeling on the ground, the guy telling him what to do over his shoulder, fixing it.

Switch stopped to take a deep breath of air once he was outside. Running a pale hand through his dark hair, he contemplated his next move. Kai could be quite literally anywhere.
"Lets try here," he sadi to Hikki, walking towards a passage. For a moment she looked as though she was going to protest. Instead she bit her lip and made to follow him.

Hikki pursed her lips together as she thought of any place Kai might go too. To their rooms? No..... Back to the ship? No...why would he go back in the first place.....
Her eyebrows shot up as her eye widened in realisation, "Switch, is there any place close to the bar...err....club where mechanics hang out? Or there is machine repair work going on?"

*"Switch, is there any place close to the bar...err....club where mechanics hang out? Or there is machine repair work going on?" *
Switch raised an eyebrow. 'Hon, did you notice the hammering and drilling going on around? The whole place is ahunk of broken down.... There's always repair-work goin on here!" He caught himself barely in time and bit down hard on his lower lip.
"I'm sorry. My nerves just shorted there for a sec." he said appologetically. "You have a point. Lets go over there," he replied, pointing towards a repair bay, a mere level below them.
((Voila! Geography taken care of))

Kai was working for awhile, but eventually got tired of it. He wasn't fixing anything of his, so there was really no passion for him. After a bit more working, he left and went to go back up a level.

Switch walked quickly down the stairs. Jogged, however, would be more appropiate.
You'd better be here, Kai, he prayed to himself for the zillionth time.
