Zoë nodded. “I’ll bet there’s a little committee of suits back there trying to figure out how best to lie.”&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp

“Or how to tell some horrible truth,” Inara replied softly.&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp

“Or how to make the most effective use of medical waste incendiaries to get rid of our bodies,” Wash chimed in.

Many thanks to desertgirl for the beta read. And many more thanks to the readers who have left reviews or sent me notes encouraging me to get going with the updates, even after years have passed. Yeah, sorry about that!

Really I owe 1000 sorry’s for the delay. I hope you know how it is. I’m not going to attempt any guess as to when the next chapter will be done. As always, I’ll try my best, which may not be very good… but I will try!

For lack of better options, the remaining crew of Serenity—a mere three people—followed the advice of the Lieutenant who’d taken Mal. Armed with nothing but a sheaf of papers covered in incomprehensibly tiny fonts of legal

Wow! I just got home from a tough, long weekend at work, and look what I find! A new chapter of Backstories! :D (Hold your ears while I run around squeeing with excitement.) I'll have to comment again when I'm not so completely bone tired and stand a chance of making sense. But here are some quick observations:

There's a bit of "and then there were three...and then there were two" about this. Who will be the last one left? (I have a guess.)

I'm glad you had a bit more of Trevor Marone and Ellen Rowlee. You're beginning to connect the dots of that plot thread together. Are we going to see a Rowlee and Mal scene?

Inara had a frustrating time of it. I'm wondering if her guide was guilelessly voluble, or if he had a mission to prevent her from getting any of her questions answered.

The Colonel has put her in a tight spot, but I would like to see her be able to turn things around somehow. The conversation was somewhat enlightening, but you still have kept much hidden.

I am concerned about the arrival of Chancellor Westfield on Oeneus. (cue Star Wars Imperial March theme music)

I am much concerned about the crew members you have left in the cave for...heh...a couple years now. ;-^) Not to mention you've left Mal strapped to an examination table for nearly as long, eh? (Excuse me. What I mean is, oh please oh please oh please will you include a scene set in the cave soon, and another scene with Mal? *sad puppy eyes*)

What a wonderful surprise! So glad to see more of this story and the rest of the storyline came back as you wrote in the hints as a refresher. Hope to see Mal soon, but understand all too well the brevity of free and creative time.

Things don't look too good for Mal and Colonel Davis seems like quite the slimey piece of *goushi*. So good to see a new chapter from you, just hope our friends watch their backs. Ali D :~)
