First off, I banged this turn out real quick. I'm sorry for the typos, and
the format, I think it could be better.
But it's got lot's of excitement, so onto the turn.
- -------------------
Here is turn 11, it's short and to the point.

Notes
*******************************************************************************
1) Well I'm now only going to have 2 parts to the postings, a notes section
and a move section, it's easier I think.
2) No one has mentioned what they wanted to do about the summer, except Mike,
please tell me, so I can figure out something.
3) Kurt missed this turn, so I made up his move.

You all meet in the common room, the captain is looking a bit tired, and
suggests that everyone break for dinner. You all then realize what time it is,
and comply. Dan and Charlie come out for dinner too, and everyone discusses
what you have all learned.
"Yurl Hagard, hmmm, it's been a while since I've heard that name," says
the captain.
"Do you think it's true?" asks Erekosse.
"With all that's happen, I doubt it, whoever these chumps are, they've
aparently done their homework. Yurl Hagard murdered my boss, Jan Morrison
the original owner of the Ulysses. Yurl killed his wife, and we heard that he
was on Regina. Jan was told that he could find a guy who knew where to find
Yurl in the Merc Hangout," says the captain.
"Merc Hangout huh," says Erc,"tough place."
"You bet," says Steve.
"Never had the pleasure," responds Samantha.
"Well anyway, Jan gets shot by a cop for carrying an illegal firearm,
and the ship was turned over to me. It was in the news, so they could be just
messing with our minds. I thinks it's time to blow this thing so out of
control, we find out the real truth, eh," says the captain.
"What do you plan to do," asks Dan.
"It's more like we," says the captain, as he motions to all the people
at the table. "First off, I'm going to tell Hubert, Moe, and Curly that I'm
opening the crate. Second, Erc and Steve will stay up here to guard them.
Dan, Charlie and Samantha will try and get that crate open, with Erekosse
watching them from a distance, just in case anything dangerous is in that crate.
And I will be both upstairs and down, just to watch and check up on you guys."
"Sounds good to me," says Erekosse.
"Great, when do we start?" asks Steve.
"Tomorrow morning, after we tell them tonight. I figure we let them
think about it, and before our experts get to work, give them one last chance."
"We'll get our stuff ready," says Charlie, and he and Dan leave the
table after putting their plates away. The rest of you finish your meals and
the captain asks both Erc and Steve to come with him. They enter Moe and
Curly's stateroom, and leave a few minutes later, Moe and Curly can both be
heard cussing. They enter Huberts room and are out in the same amout of time.
Steve says to the captain, "He was quite calm about that wasn't he?"
"Yeah, too calm," says Erc.
"Well then, we'll just open it and see," says the captain, a smile is
forming on his lips.
Dan and Charlie stay up late that night, with the captains permission,
and assemble as much knowledge as they can on the type of lock that is on the
crate.
Samantha is the first one up, and she finds both Dan and Charlie asleep
on the G-cushions. She makes some coffee, and offers it to them. They both
wake up grudgingly, accept the coffee, and say thanks. They then excuse
themselves and go take showers in their stateroom.
The rest of you come out and find the captain and Erekosse and Samantha
eating breakfast. The captain says to you all, "We're not going to ask them
again, I just want that crate open. When Dan and Charlie finish eating, we're
doing it."
Dan and Charlie come out, they are dressed in 'work' clothes. They eat
and after they are done, gather their tools and follow Erekosse and Samantha
downstairs. They get to the crate and ask Samantha if she could just pass them
tools. She says, no problem and sets up things behind them. They work at a
slow pace, taking time, dismantling the pad, they point out to each other where
Erc had tampered with the pad, and if anything was broken. They work for about
4 hours and stop. Lunch is brought down by the captain, and everyone eats.
The guys upstairs are having no problems whatsoever. They eat lunch and
are fully alert to everything. The captain is looking slightly nervous, as he
eats his lunch, he says it's nothing, but it's apparent to Steve and Erc that
something is bugging him.
After lunch is done, Dan and Charlie say that they are almost ready to
open the crate, they ask if Samantha could spare he hands, because they need
the extra set. She complies, and they have her hold a set of wires, that they
have attached to the door of the crate, they say it will only open three-fourths
of the way and she should hold the wires to the door at all times. They tell
Erekosse that they are ready to open the door, and he radios the captain. They
count to three and the door slowly opens. Samantha follows the door as it opens
and when it stops she notices the sound of breathing coming from inside the
crate. She pears inside, curiousity getting the best of her, and she sees a
smiling face and hears a car backfire.
Erekosse is startled for a second as he hears a gunshot and sees
Samantha fly back and hit a crate. Dan and Charlie hit the floor ....
Upstairs the gunshot is heard and everyone is distracted for a split
second, just as they all turn back, they see Hubert's door opening and Moe and
Curly's too. A desk comes out of Curly's room with Moe right behind, Hubert
hits the floor, they all have guns. Steve flips the dinner table over and
manuevers a chair to help give cover. Erc dives behind the table, and Captain
Moray gets behind a wall. The firefight has begun ....
