Most characters and locations of the fiction below are the property of someone else & were created by Joss Whedon & company. I only borrow them on occasion to advance the storyline of an idea that I feel was not completed. The Rights to the characters are not mine and must be viewed as such. Thank you. BPZ
********************************************************************
Having been successful in pulling off a major heist months ago, Mal Reynolds and his team now seem to be a little short of cash. Serenity’s crew has squandered their spoils on enjoyable times and the luxuries of good fortune, good food and good accommodations….ie…Wash & Zoe spending private time at the Hotel Persephone on Persephone and Jayne spending loads of coin at the bordellos, to, well let me stop there. Sure it was fun, but as we all know the fun times do not last. Time to get back to business. In need of currency the captain has opted to pull a few smaller jobs over a large one. Small time thievery is a lot safer than heavy pocket work, and there are many, many small crimes committed daily on the border and rim worlds. Usually Alliance officials don’t bother with petty things. Thievery, robbery, and border disputes between land barons are left up to local law-enforcement, unless they become extremely bloody. Mal feels safe that the jobs they are doing will not attract much attention. He could be wrong.
Anyway, the crew of the little Firefly transport have completed two missions, as they prefer to call them, successfully, and not a soul on the boat has suffered a single broken fingernail. Time to complete one more mission and the captain will be happy for a while. The thing is they’ll need to do it in another sector of the verse. The atom around Persephone is becoming a little crowded with police patrols. Time to head to Athens and the small moons that companion that world. Lets see what happens…..

Uh oh. Mal and Jayne have turned horse thieves. That's a hanging crime in some parts. Of course, everything is a hanging crime in the Western genre.
But where is that mule?
You are correct with the “atmo” thingy……that’s another one that got by me, thanks.
Mal and Jayne horse thieves? Come on now you know they were only borrowing the beasts. They are gonna give ‘em back. You are right though. Most every crime committed in the old west was a hanging offence. Even wearing your own brothers underwear may get you hanged…..of course let’s hope that the advancement of humankind has gotten past such deeds.
As for the mule, let’s just say that no harm has come to the motorized animal. Not yet anyway.
Thank for the feedback!

Especially if he was a judge.
>As for the mule, let’s just say that no harm has come to the motorized animal.
Ha!
Bytemite, maybe I should have said stealing your brother’s undies could get you hanged….lol
Anyway, I’m posting the lead -in to the “One To Many Chap 1” story. For some reason it kept giving me an error message and wouldn’t let me post the entire thing, here it is:
Synopsis: episode happens between OIS and Serenity the BDM. Shepherd Book & Inara have already left Serenity at this juncture and are on their own worlds respectively. Now I feel, may be a good time to explain a little about the sub-title “The Code Writers”. I always inject a little of myself and my thought ideas into the fiction I write, hoping to not seem too overboard, but you can never tell what a reader may be thinking. Anyhoo, I do believe that the powers that rule the world, even now days, have been using technology and codes to reach certain folk in their circle of influence and to expand their true agendas. Why should things change in the future? No political speech can be spoken by a leader from the smallest country that hasn’t been dissected and trisected. I feel that governing bodies are using the airwaves/cortex to deliver their messages. Messages that are being delivered in the form of codes. If you know the code, you understand the message. This story explores the methods, and possibly the processes of how codes can be used…..the Author.
