The Alliance Spins, Part 4

Situated in the dock district of Marseilles New, Harvey’s Shiny Shipyards occupied about two acres of some of the most un-prime real estate in the city. The Yard was surrounded by a large fence covered in heavy, thorny shrubbery that grew wild and thick on this part of Persephone. By design, the place was hard to get to by any means other than the big gate at the front. Harvey had told the Federal Business Licensing Division Officer that the perimeter of his place was kept this way to discourage any visitors of a mind to rob him of tools and ship parts. The naïve young bureaucrat, freshly graduated from Kingston University on Londinium, readily bought the explanation without question.

Three ships were presently housed at the Yard. One of those was a bona fide legitimate freighter – honest papers and all. The legitimacy of the ship earned it a spot in the most conspicuous part of the Yard which was near the front gate. The other two ships, however, were parked in the back behind the large shop and not at all visible from outside the compound.

A battered ’98 Universal Sailer IV had been in the Yard close to six months

Truth be told, Jayne always loved the first few minutes in jail - gave him a chance to indulge himself in a bit of bullying. He looked around disappointed that no one seemed up to the challenge that was him.

That was a wonderful Jayne line - amusing himself at someone else's terror, but worried that Mal would be upset with him. The simplicity and duplicity of Jayne knows no bounds.

I really enjoyed this work. The dialog was great and loved the fight and friendship with Kaylee and Inara. Although canon is that the Operative paid for the repairs to Serenity, I'm very eager to see where you're going to go with this.
