Part 6 of “Spin” is now posted. It will likely not see it’s ending until next week, maybe later. I hope ppl stick with me to find out what happens. Maybe someone aboard Serenity has turned “turncoat”. Maybe Jayne is up to some ‘ol tricks again. Who knows? One thing, I’m wondering if friends of mine know what’s coming? Until next week friends…..BP out.

*********************************************************************************
Wash, pilot of Serenity slowly lowered the Firefly transport down into one of the craters that pitted the surface of WWDC15. The ship’s sensors had indicated that the depth of the crater was about 60 meters. Wash wasn’t concerned with the depth. What he was more concerned about was, was he in the right tunnel?
River had explained that there was a hole big enough to hide Serenity in near the compound on the south side of the facility triangle, but as he’d made his approach Wash realized that there were three such craters. River was down in the cargo bay , just as Mal, Jayne, his wife, Kaylee and Book were. There was no time to bring her to the bridge to find out if this were the right one. Wash made a landing and kept his fingers crossed.
The entire crew felt the light touch-down of Serenity on the tunnel floor. There was a buzz on the bridge com, “ Wash! We good?”. It was Mal’s voice.
“ Like juggling baby geese, goslings!” The pilot spoke trying to hide the nervousness in his voice. He’d find out if he’d picked the right crater soon enough.
Down in the cargo hold Mal and the rest of the crew looked over the mule. Kaylee, being the expert mechanic that she was, had prepared the hovercraft to the best of her ability. Mal was pleased, the hovercraft looked more than ready.
“ Ok, So, Me…..Zoe and Jayne, like always, will be the ones to go in. Kaylee….” He said turning to the young mechanic, “ you keep yourself occupied in the engine room! Keep Serenity warmed up…..we may need to be getting outta here fast!”
“ Book!” He turned to the preacher, “….if you can be ready at the loading ramp. We might need to close it in a hurry!”
“Understood.” The preacher voiced calmly.
"You can't take the sky from me!"
I always enjoy getting your feedback, opinions and ideas, and yes they have gotten me to step back, take a look at how the story was going and to make changes. I too like the character of Iron Eagles and he may end up in future stories in some continuing fan-fic Whedon verse.
I am for now hoping to round out the “Spin” story arc early(to)mid next week. There’s lots of work going on down where I am employed and looks to be lots of overtime coming up too. Won’t be able to start anything new myself for a while, but I do enjoy so much of the work that many of the other fan-fic writers are posting here.
River Tam! Angelle…Amdobell? Did you each say that she is always ( and maybe) up to something? I totally agree. We’re likely to see something of her latest secret endeavor in the final chapter(s) “ Spin” 7 or 8.
Thank both of you again for your posts. They kept me enthused about writhing “Spin” the whole time.

Well as before, you seem to be reading pages from my playbook…..lol ( it’s always fun to see posted what a fellow browncoat is getting out of a story arc) But yes, in putting your summations on a scale-o-meter reading Hot & Cold 1-10 ( 1=cold/10=hot), I figure you are at about a 7. Very impressive!
Going up in a few is the final chapter of “Spin”, with the subtitle “Mission Complete? If you are able to read it I do hope you like it……thanks very much for your feedback.
