Very cool glad to see the next story getting posted. So where's the next part? And why oh why is no one guarding the Reaver chickens, don't they know what they carry?

Uh oh, some of the translations didn't work right. It might be my browser and the new site, I'll check out on internet explorer monday.
If that doesn't work, might have to do some quick find and replaces on the question marks everywhere. Or, maybe it's an issue with the copying from the document drafting program. Do copy-pasted html symbols work? Investigating.

That would be a lot of work replacing all those. Something else you can try, copy everything from your original word document into a very simple program like note pad, then try copying it here.

It might also be an issue with the hover text, you might just have to remove that.

Had a problem with the Chinese characters...they were there when I first posted, but then they disappeared and were replaced by question marks. I've been talking to Haken about fixing this (it happened with the Bandiagara re-post I put up about a week ago as well, and Haken fixed it). Already tried what you said there, Bytemite, so we'll see what Haken says.
Nutluck: hope to post this story at regular intervals. Re: chickens. You'll just have to wait and see. I don't think you'll be disappointed. (*cackles*)

Glad to see you back!
It is nice to see Inara taking a turn flying the boat. It integrates her into the crew a little bit more, makes her less of an outsider, less stand-offish.
Nutluck, it seems that they have forgotten all about those Reaver chickens. At their peril, if I may hazard a guess.

I really liked this episode eb! I like the dramatic story building…….I’m sure we’re in for a bumpy ride ahead.
“Torture by insane crime bosses? Comic book villains bent on revenge? Ritual suicide?” < loved those lines…..lol.
With having witnessed more chaos likely than he’s seen in his entire lifetime, maybe Ip is wondering why he chose this boat?
Enjoyed the story very much, Z

ZM: Maybe we'll see Inara fly the boat again sometime. *They* may have forgotten the Reaver chickens, but I haven't hehehehe
ZZ: Oh, I am so glad you mentioned that line about the crime bosses...because, yeah, that *happened* he just doesn't know it! I had fun putting that one in.

Finally the penny drops for Ip with a great big CLANG! As for the apples I am mighty suspicious of where they came from and if they have been tampered with first especially given River's comment "for the fairest" put me in the mind of Sleeping Beauty. Great story, keep going! Ali D :~)

Ali D: definitely a great big clang. And you're not the only one who's suspicious of those apples. Thanks for comments.

Glad to see you posting another tale.
Liked Mal's opinion about divulging Miranda on a "need to know" basis, it sounds like a rule he would establish.

Platonist -- Mal does not really want the spotlight focused on him, his crew or his ship as a result of Miranda. He'll do what he can to avoid it. This tale is a long one. I hope you enjoy it.

Oh hey. That is a Snow White reference layered in there.
Well spotted Ali, didn't notice that myself.
You know, Inara does say a line about how she keeps to her shuttle, and it implies separation, but I'm not really sure that's accurate based on what we see. She doesn't leave the shuttle much, true, but most of the crew seems to go to HER, quite a lot, barring Jayne and Zoe. And the only one who Inara has imposed a strict ban on not going in her shuttle (which is subsequently ignored) is Mal, the others seem pretty welcome.
I think maybe she was more trying to put Book at ease in case he found her presence incompatible with his religion.

Also, if you're a Castle fan, I hope you enjoyed the Castle reference (especially since it's a reference to a Firefly reference on Castle). :-) (My aren't we circularly referential here?)

Put in forward links (to Chapter 2), but still unable to fix the Chinese characters.
