In all there were twenty five of them. Hardy thought it was overkill. Davy just smiled faintly and tried not to think how hard it would be to slip away without being noticed. Petrie had them go out in teams of five. It sucked, big time, but then they had known at the outset that escaping the grip of their terrifying boss would never be easy. At least they were outside. Before he let them loose Petrie had one more thing to say to them.

Jayne Cobb was not a happy man. Frustrated and going a little stir crazy he pumped reps and worked his weights to the point where Shepherd Book stepped in and called a halt. He had been spotting the big man but could see he was wound too tightly to be sensible. Jayne scowled up at him.
"*Shenme shi*?"
The Shepherd's voice was mild but his expression drilled into Jayne Cobb like a laser. "I was about to ask you the same question."
The mercenary sat up with a jerk, annoyed and out of sorts but he wasn't mad at the Preacher. Man was the closest thing to a friend he had. "We need to be findin' work not hidin' behind this gorram rock." He growled.
"And we will, once it's safe to do so."
Jayne snorted and took the towel Book
"You can't take the sky from me!"
"You can't take the sky from me!"
I certainly hope that you keep on keeping on, because you are a talented writer and I, for one, love the stories.
I know, that sounds a lot like Wash telling Kaylee that he'd take her in manly fashion cuz she's pretty, but I don't actually mean to sound quite so creepifyin'.
Guess I just want to thank you for the effort you put into these fanfics, and to let you know they are hella entertaining.
"You can't take the sky from me!"
sorry if I have happened to ask this before. but does any of these 3 ring any bells for you?
the scenes are as following:
funny scene(with River), Serenity is being boarded by criminals/pirates, do not know if they are planetbound or if they are in the black during this boarding, at some point the serenity crew has them beat, and at this point River is for some reason probably to scare the survivers, is standing over one of them and in a coldish/snobish accent(written to be of Osirian)as a gone bad highsociety debutante, asking Mal i think, of what to do with this survivor, and it is described as if they cannot get answer over there lips for a little while after hearing how River could have turned out if the Academy had let her be, and not ruined her life.
scene2(Mal and Zoe, and river as pilot)it starts with Mal/Zoe tells/asks if he/she thinks River is not happy as pilot, so they deside to ask Monty if he know of a pilot, and they get a female pilot out of it, and tells river she can now find the place/work on the ship, for her.
Scene3(S/K more familly drama related i think)
Simon talking with Kaylee: it is possible that Our mother(Reagan Tam)sent her to the school(The Academy) just to get River away, because she(River) was a slight social embarrasement for her parents, with her nearly freaky intelligence at social events.(unknowing of course of what would happen at the Academy.
i know they might not be just like this, word by word, jsut to give sligth knowladge of the events that i try to describe:-)
p.s if you have just recently happened to read it by pure chance:-) i would ask if you have read one with a scene where River comes into the eating area,(looking slightly embarrased, sad maybe even a bit sick(and not because of the drugs Simon gives her)) where Inara finds out that the guild might have broken one of there own rules by giving a special medical drug to The Academy(one that stop the female monthlies-cycle as long as the drug is taken.)
And River tells that she had been told she could not have children because something had happened atthe school, an now she begins to suffer from the withdrawals from it, by plumbing right back into that monthly cyckle.
anyway friendly greetings from KrelleK.
