Prologue
“What was Simon thinking?” Mal swore as he paced the cargo hold. “I should have told him he couldn’t get off the gorram ship.”
“He’s been off the ship lotsa times since Miranda. No ones ever cared before,” Kaylee offered, twisting the end of her hair in an effort to channel her nervousness .
“Yeah, well someone does now.” Mal cocked his gun and turned toward Zoe and Jayne as they readied their own firearms. “We’re too close to a Core world for gorram’s sake! I should have insisted he stay put.”
“So much for that Operative tellin’ ya the truth.” Jayne said as he squinted down the barrel of one before holstering it with a snap and removing another.

I love this Mandarin, have used it myself a time or two.
*Jayne puffed out his chest proudly. “Yup. We did that.”*
Not to mention, I tried to sell

I really like the linkage between Simon and River, good work.
*Jayne laughed at the silence that followed, adding, “Eh, I’m sure they take turns.”*
Classic, crude Jayne.
*“Your - cheerfulness - disturbs me.” *
Liked this line very much.
Very good story, and if you write a prequel or a sequel I will read those too.
