The Promise: part2 Dellitar
“…….and what the hell are we supposed to do now!!?” Mal was furious.
“ She is forbidden to be on the bridge…” He stopped “ …..she is forbidden go anywhere. Just her bunk, till I reach a decision on what to do!”
Mal was hopping mad. River had set a destination and it couldn’t be changed. Where were they going, Dellitar? He’d never heard of the place. One thing he did know was that it was on the fringes of civilized society as the alliance would call it. A small planet three days away. Who’d given her permission to choose their next port of call? Simon stood, mouth open trying to explain. His sister did things. Things even he had no idea that she would do or that he could control.
“………in her bunk and lock the door!” Mal continued
Simon only nodded in the affirmative.
Mal turned back to Kaylee, “ How’s it look!”
“ I don’t know captain……I really need Wash’s hel…..” She paused, “ Someone’s help that knows how to do these things. My experience is more with my baby’s ass……..Serenity’s other end.” She stopped
“ Well do what you can!” The transport captain said as he headed off to the galley. He needed Zoe’s advice on this one.

“ I don’t know captain. Like Miranda no ones ever heard of the place. Dellitar isn’t on any map although there is a planet in it’s location listed with only a number, 571-36-22. ( planets and moons with numbers were unusually unterra-formed or found to be uninhabitable)
“Think River has a connection to her past there?” a brief pause, “You know we have been through this type of thing before.”
Mal looked at his second in command.
“I know, that’s what’s bothering me.”

Dellitar: A planet in the middle stages of being Terra-formed. Not much there to speak about . Half the planet had containment water ponds, fields, wildlife and an atmo that got thinner the furthe

Yepper Serenity finds herself in a pickle. Since this story takes place post our BDM River finds herself a more viable part of the crew. Was she ready? After seeing the movie a lot of browncoats tend to see River as being “Cured”. I tend to want to feel that that isn’t the case. Reavers, Miranda, the Alliance and operatives all have done their damage on her little mind. I tend to want to think that it didn’t just go away in the blink of an eye. The girl still has issues, anyway what fun would a totally “sane” River be anyway? No! She’s a lot more enjoyable when she’s a bit on the crazy side and you don’t know what to expect.
Now as far as Mal and Kaylee being able to just cut the engine juice to fix the problem. I would take it that that’s easier said than done. After all didn’t Saffron do the same thing? Why didn’t they just do that then? I like Saffron but our River girl is much smarter than the she-devil. The story goes that River has plotted a destination that can’t be changed. The fuel-cells can’t be tamper with and the engines can’t simply be turned off. I don’t think it’s beyond the scope of young River to be able to do something of this nature and have the crew be at the mercy of the young genius. Just my take on the idea.
Nope the crew must settle in for the ride on this one and just like Early’s ship Miss Tam is master of the controls.
