Thanks again to everyone who has posted reviews.

This is a big episode, but again I had a specific place I wanted to get everyone to so my apologies if you find it too long.

I have used a lot of Chinese in this one and have tried putting the translations in brackets after the phrase to save constant scrolling to the bottom of the page; I hope this is not too distracting. The translations in the brackets are what I hope I’m saying; the translations at the bottom of the page are the literal ones.

The fact that some of the charecters won't come out is hugely frustrating, if anyone can suggest a solution to this i'd be grateful.

The Firefly characters are someone else’s property, I am not getting paid for this.

All reviews welcome.

It was kind of comical to watch Chilli’s face fall,

“Āi yā, bǐ rén hú lái, ǎn yǐn jūn zǐ. (Ah my God, I make a complete hash of things, I am a drug addict who believes his own lies.)” Chilli wiped his hand over his face, “Zen me bàn? (What’s to be done?)”

There was the sound of an engine approaching.

“What…” Started Mal

The Mule came skimming round the corner and came gracefully to a halt. River gave them all a sunny smile.

Jayne was perched on the back of the Mule, gripping Vera who was sitting in some kind of Heath Robinson arrangement that turned the Mule into a scrap yard gun ship. He was grinning nearly as wide as River.

Mal didn’t ask questions, “Mule can take five at a pinch, Chilli, Al, you get Samson on that Mule get him back to the Jail fast. Zoë n’ me gonna swing by the Doctors office see what’s going on, be with you slick like.

“You fly straight and true little ‘Tross.” Mal flicked River’s cheek affectionately.

River gave him a happy, happy smile and gunned the Mule, turning the first corner fast enough to send Jayne sprawling.
