Post from Kiet on actions...

            <Kiet moans and sits back as others get to him.  By now
        Fremea gets herself free of the ropes and lands onto the deck.
        Fremea checks his shoulder and finds scratches and wood burns
        but nothing serious beyond that.  A small bruise on his shoulder
        is the biggest wound.  he rubs his shoulder as Z'leyra tends to
        any possible problems.  Kiet curses to himself as he notices
        a tear in his tunic from the fall.  >  
"Damn!  I just bought this."
 
<But then he realizes he is back on board.  Better to be here than out there.>  
          <  The Captain rounds the station after Z'leyra does a quick
        over of Kiet.  He lowers a hand to Kiet to help him up.  Kiet
        stares up at the man who would have left him out there.  Would
        Kiet have done the same?  To risk a stupid ship for one man?
        But then he notices Shu and Zhou among others.  The mission is
        far more critical and one man isn't worth that risk.

            Captain nods, "sorry.  I couldn't risk it.  But you did
        a fine job of distracting that one.">  
"Thank you, Captain.  I didn't expect you to risk the ship.  I've been on board enough vessels to know how Captains feel about their ships.  Obviously I should have better planned my return."  Kiet sighs heavily.
 
Kiet turns to Fremea next and grins broadly..."I would hug you but I know you probably wouldn't like that."...then bows very deeply with all formal courtesies..."Madame Fremea, I thank you for the rescue.  You have shown yourself once again to be selfless and caring of others, even to the point of possible harm to yourself.  I am in your debt."

          <  Ben'dar glances at Kiet and grins but was hoping for some
       brand new dragon hide armor for a spare.  Maybe next time.

            Caladan asks Kiet, "what did you offer the dragons?  Did
       you think you could turn yourself over to them?">  
A look of horror overtakes Kiet's facial features, "By the gods no!  I only sought to offer them one or two donkeys...fresh land meat...that they would then leave the ship alone.  Nobody would have missed them, they would have been easy to replace, and It would have been cheap free passage.  That stupid fool of a dragon, however, ended up with nothing...while his companion was able to snack upon what got dumped.  I had alsways thought dragons to be of superior wisdom...perhaps what I have heard is wrong."
