With a whirl of rain and wind, Ginger Larkin stumbled through the hatch of the Alliance military transport. She had such a long face that Will had to break into a grin. “What?” he asked. “You didn’t get to make kissy with the big guy?”

To his surprise, his partner didn’t attempt a denial, but fell into the co-pilot’s seat with a huff. “I’d a’ been more than happy to, but things got interrupted.”

She got busy squeezing rainwater out of her hair, but Will fixed her with a hard stare until she explained.

“Seems we ain’t the only ones after Reynolds and his crew. They barely set foot in that fish market before all kinds of hell cut loose.”

“This hell have a name?”

“Tán Hé.”

Will frowned—this was a complication he didn’t need. “Tán Hé? I wonder what they’re up to out here on New Melbourne.”

“They’re up to makin’ a scene, that’s what, going after the crew of Serenity like they did.”

“Reynolds?”

“Nope. He wasn’t there. It was the two gunhands—the big guy and the woman. The doc was there too.”

“Ah, yes. Simon I believe was the name.” Will ginge

I totally forgot the have this beta'd, and a quick pass through caught a few silly things. Hopefully there aren't more!

I am tending to group my OC sections, and this was one of those chapters. It'll be all crew for the next several, I promise!

Ooh. Your characterization of Marone becomes more intriguing. He has an almost earnest vibe, like he thinks he's doing something good. What's he up to? Might still be complicit on the whole dream interrogation thing on Oeneus, but now it's looking like he has some side projects. Maybe that's why he helped Mal escape, couldn't take him from the interrogation without raising suspicions, but couldn't let them break him for some reason, either.

Ginger and Will were great here, I love Zoe's plan before it went to pieces, and it will be SO interesting to see Jayne stuck with MalCOLM and River. Especially with River making moon-eyes, and I STILL suspect people are underestimating young Mal, so I look forward to seeing how he earns Jayne's respect again.

Wow - it really IS Christmas! Glad to see more of this and loving the plot lines you're lying down. All your OC's have my sympathy - even Simon's ex-friend - but still waiting to see what you're going to do to Will.

Absolutely love the exchange between Ellen and Marone, especially this line "Sometimes those outside the spotlight can do more than the ones pinned down by it.”

Very Nice flow to this and very fitting of the verse.

Awesome yet again!

Hi guys!

Thanks for the thoughts! Nice to hear your ideas of the OCs, since I never know if I'm giving away too much or not enough. I have a lot of plot to explain involving Marone and Westfield, but I want to do it with as little time spent away from the crew as possible. Still not sure how I'll manage it!

Ah, that was like slipping back into a warm bath, I sank into this so effortlessly, it felt like no time had passed at all!

You've always had a style that just flows, and even when you're writing OCs with little of the crew, still I am drawn in, in a way I'm not with anyone else's OCs. It's just a pleasure to read.

It was really wonderful to get back into it, and I'm so excited for the rest!
