This story is set fifteen years into the future from the story I have written called “Big Blue”

Sara Jane was the second 04 built. The first being the prototype used for certification testing. Allan had always intended for the second ship off the line to be his, in a manner of speaking. Serenity was nearly eighty years old and while she had been upgraded many, many times over the decades, there would come a day when she would no longer be space worthy.

Allan's original plan was to put the new ship into storage until the day
