It was not long until everyone reached the settlement that was founded, when Fry lead them all to the skiff with a big smile, some were pleased but other mean Paris, were not and he scoffs at the sight as he and Shazza exam it, "you must be joking, I mean I can appreciate antique but uh..." he gestures at the state of the skiff.

Basically, everyone ignores Paris since he has been complaining non-stop since he woken up, Fry struggles to get the power cell onboard to try and see if it will work, at least power it up enough to check out the repairs and how many would be needed to take off and John said, "it will work," and Fry stated, "nothing we cannot repair, as long as the electrical adapts," and Shazza scoffs as she eyes the skiff with unease and doubt, almost agreeing with Paris for once, "not a star-jumper."

"Does not need to be," Riddick's speaks out, "take a 2-seater like this backup to the Sol-Track Shipping Lanes, stick out like a thumb, you are bound to get picked up, ain't that right Captain?" He says as a matter of fact and Fry looks at him in shock and turns to give Johns a 'How did he know that?' look and Alice looks at him and asks what on everyone minds, "how do you that?" 

Riddick just smirks at her, "would you not like to know, Pet?" As Alice shivers at his tone and hugs her arm, as if protecting herself from his intense gaze that pierced through his goggles and Johns glares at him and Riddick simple chuckles in humor, loving how it was pissing Johns off.

"Ahh, little help here?" Fry finally speaks up, breaking the tension and Alice moves to help her with Jack and Shazza but Riddick frowns as he watches he mate struggles a bit with the power cell, he feared that she would get hurt so he walks up towards her but Johns blocks his way, pissing him off and Johns knew it and loved it.

"Woah, woah, woah, hey, uh, check those containers for me, see what we can patch with the wings with," Johns orders as scans the damages as he sends Riddick a smirk and Riddick growls lowly at him but does as he is told, not before sending Alice a hidden look, yearning to be close to her and Alice sighs softly as she watches, shivering softly as he walks by, she could feel his strong aura, Dark, yet warm.

While Fry, Johns and Shazza work on the skiff, Iman, along with his followers and Paris all gathered around the solar well that was found earlier, after a long pause to see if any success was made, 1 9f the followers eyes widen as that watch water begin to drip until fresh water poured out of the faucet, the followers spoke excitedly in Arabic as Iman reaches quickly to catch the water and test it, fresh and clean, he smiles big in approval as he moves to helps his followers fill the containers but Paris as always got greedy.

"All right, all right, my turn," he brushes them off to fill up and while Fry, Shazza and Johns were busy with the skiff, Alice walks towards the bath house with tools and a bag of clothes and underwear she salvages from the wreak, hers were starting to irritate her and they smelled from all the sweat, Alice catches Riddick in her corner of her eye about 50 feet way from her, eyeing her again with that look as he watches her head towards a building , with no one looking, he moves to the side and disappears from everyone's sight.

Fry exclaims in triumph as the power cell worked on the skiff, making it light up, "we are getting there, we have got enough power for a sys-check, but we will still need more cells," she says as she gets to her feet with Shazza and scans over the control systems and Johns asks, "how many are we talking about?"
