Mei mei- little sister

Wo de ma- mother of god

Jayne pouted. “I was just sayin’.”

“You’re always just sayin’, Jayne. Maybe sometimes you should just think.”

Jayne glared at Mal but wisely kept quiet as Simon trotted back to the crew. Simon stopped beside Jayne and put his hands in his pockets.

“Well, Doctor, do we have a deal?”

Simon sighed. “They really wanted that mushroom shaped thing as well. Apparently it’s rather difficult to work the circle without its DHD. That’s what they call the smaller device,” he hastened to explain. “According to them there’s some connection to earth-that-was. They found some wr
