Firefly is the property of Joss Whedon, blah blah blah. You know the drill.

"The important thing is to aim for the head," Mal explained to Book. "The chest is covered with armor, so there's no point in wasting ammo there. There's a little computer stuck on their brains that makes them go. I figure with shotguns we stand a better chance of hitting them there." Addressing Zoë, he asked, "How are we doing chasing down our quarry?"

"From the tracking signal, looks like he's decelerating. Could be about to dock with another ship."

Mal didn't like the sound of that. "How long until we catch up?"

"At our current speed, about thirty minutes," Zoë replied.

"Not good enough. Burn as hard as you can. Don't care how much fuel you waste, time's more important. If we make it through, Serenity will be there to pick us up."

After giving his orders, it started to dawn on Mal that they were going into this half-cocked. For all they knew, there was a vessel the size of an Alliance cruiser full of those supersoldiers waiting for them. He pushed aside those concerns, as it was too late to turn back now.
