WHY IS NOBODY WATCHING THOSE REAVER CHICKENS!! I am sure that they are up to no good.

>Ip was quiet for a moment, wondering at the Captain’s insistence upon secrecy. “Understood, Captain.”

*facepalm*

He is approaching violation of common sense levels here. SOMEONE JUST TRIED TO KILL YOU. MAKING YOURSELF A BIGGER TARGET IS NOT A GOOD IDEA.

Lol, Ip is great and you really get things across about how naive he is. This was a good conversation, as was the captain's psychotic (not entirely facetious) joke.

The Reaver chickens are eating so much human flesh at the moment. You don't even know. Really henpecked if you get me.

Freaked out or not I hope Ip takes Mal's warning to heart as his inclination to trust people first then think about it after puts everyone on Serenity at risk. As for Mal's nightmare, gorramit it seemed almost endless. Ali D :~)

One of the best nightmares I've read, very realistic in terms of Mal's fears.

Thanks, all, for the feedback. Thank you, Platonist, Ali and ZM, I tried to fill Mal's nightmare with his fears and anxieties, and he has no shortage of them. I hope Ip learns something from his talk with Mal; he really does need to get some control over his propensity to talk, talk, talk. I am very much enjoying everyone's speculations about the chickens. ;-)

I'm sure Mal will react very calmly (as in murdering mood) when he finds out Ip has been talking to THE Operative.

Very nice Ebfiddler.

Something I particularly enjoyed about this was the reason for Jayne's selling Mal out. Even though it was just something Mal subconsciously cooked up, I'm glad somebody finally gave our favorite man-ape some motivation besides money. This is often a problem with Jayne in fanfics, either there's no development in the character at all or there's too much too fast. So thanks, eb, for leaving that little clue :)

M52 -- I think you know Mal well. :-)
MK -- Of *course* Jayne is motivated by things other than greed. There's also food and sex. ;-) Just kidding! I agree completely, Jayne has grown, and Mal has (at least subconsciously) picked up on it.

eb you really had things stirred up for the Captain there for a while. That was likely the worst nightmare Mal ever had. I really liked your use of almost every punch line used throughout the entire series and BDM. That was very cool!
So Mal finally caught up with Ip. Good thing he’d had time to cool off a bit. I don’t think Mal could stress it any better about Ip not making contact with Bill anymore, or anyone else that would show more than a passing interest in Serenity’s business. Best Ip take Mal’s advice seriously, or it won’t be pretty.
Excellent story eb, very enjoyable, Z

Thank you, ZZ, and I'm glad you appreciated the many references in the nightmare.
