Well after recovering from a lightning strike that took me offline 
for 4 weeks I'm back.  Here's a bit from my current work in progress 
while I patch together everything else and finsh Washu's boyfriend

  Tenchi sat down next to Akane after the combat medic checked him 
out.  His scout armor having been sand blasted clean from the blast, 
when Otaru blew his armor.  Akane leaned over and rested the helmet 
of her armor against his shoulder.  She said quietly to him "I 
volenteered you."  The Engine that was currently Tenchi just nodded.  
Akane continued "I didn't want to be alone and I knew you wouldn't 
step forward so I asked the major to volenteer you." The Engine 
nodded in agreement.  She was about to speak again when Akane started 
to cough very violently.  It was the kind of the cough that tells a 
person hearing it that there is something irrevocibly wrong.  Akane 
keyed the tranq button on her forarm and after a few seconds she 
spoke, her breath coming in slow raspy gasps.  "You heard how they 
thought I was robbed when I faced Ranma at the Armor Martial Arts 
Olympics?" Tenchi bobbed his head, "well I never stood a chance 
against him." Pulling herself around and placing her visor against 
his so he could see her she said "Did I tell you I loved him?" Tenchi 
finally spoke in a dull monotone "yes you did."  Akane smiled and 
replied "I thought so...." and died.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Petty power corrupts all out of proportion to actual power.
