Many thanks to desertgirl for the beta read.

On Serenity (now the Argus) :

The main engines fired as soon as the ship cleared atmo. Wash tightened his grip on the controls and the swirling blue world below swung out of the cockpit’s view, but New Melbourne’s traffic control made one last transmission:

Firefly Argus, have a good journey to Oeneus. And walk soft, Captain. It’s a tinderbox out there.

The reply came in Shepherd Book’s gravelly voice. “We’ll do what we can.”

As soon as the comm connection was cut with a sharp snap of a switch, Kaylee swiveled the co-pilot’s chair. She cut her eyes at the preacher and snorted. “Captain. ”

Wash glanced over his shoulder; Book stood in the center of Serenity’s small bridge with one hand still hanging from the comm controls.

Hah! How much did I enjoy Simon and Inara playing at the spoiled core-bred couple!! That was perfect and hilarious! And Simon can be quick on his feet when he's more in his element!!

And it looks like Book has some inkling as to what that powder is - somehow that makes it seem all the more sinister to me *shudder*

And I like the T-hed! Great idea (Why would anyone park a spacecraft under water? *G*) River and Malcolm are certainly going to be a handful! I'm afraid of what their mischief may result in... I'm not sure it's going to be good things!

Looking forward to finding out!

Oh god! There's three trains, and they're all rushing towards the same switchtrack!

*Fascinated*

So glad to see more so soon. Loved the idea of the "kids" escaping for some thrills, now both of them get to play at being kids again.
