Gabriel Tam stood for a long time on the bridge of the stealth ship ignoring the stunned look on his navigator's face when the bottom section opened and a fleet of ugly twisted ships tore out and parted to fly off in different directions like burning pieces of shrapnel, the loss of core containment making them look as if they were on fire. The man knew most of the ship's systems but this section had always been cloaked in the deepest secrecy. Now he knew why. What he had long regarded as myth was revealed as fact. He did not dare to look at Gabriel Tam, for the man had unleashed the ultimate dogs of war.
A smug look settling on his face, Gabriel settled in to wait. However long it took to sniff his daughter out he was sure of one thing, he would find her. And when he did those meddlesome *tamade hundan* who had been sheltering her would learn the true meaning of agony and dispair one second before their pitiful lives ended. It was the least he could do.

Thadius kept his conversation with the Captain non verbal, not wanting any of the crew to step back into the infirmary and overhear them. Oddly enough Mal felt little surprise at being able to not only cast his thoughts so Thadius could hear him but to hear the man's replies. *Guess I have you to thank for that lit
Really liked how you had Mal risk his own ass to be on the bridge for the defence against the Reavers...very in-character. Also, liked the exchange between Simon and Kaylee at the end...really want these two get back together, but I am not holding much hope without some serious angst in the middle:)
BEB
So Gabriel is behind the Reavers...how creepy! And he wants River back but not Simon? Does he not know Simon is with them?
Oh, good, now Simon and Kaylee are alone....please tell me they'll get more than a few minutes to 'reacquaint' themselves with one another...? :)

You can't take the sky from me
And I just love your descriptions..
"He clamped his mouth shut but didn't wipe the unhappy off his face."
And how great to hear Book again.
Looking forward to the next one!
Wonderful stuff and as usual I can't wait for more.
I would have thought Gabriel could feel his son :)
Boy, its going to be a shock when he does find out...heee! Can't wait!
Post more soon. I'm definitely hooked on the story:)
Give S/K some happy private time before you split 'em up again pleaseeeee - because I just have this sinking feeling that you plan to do just that!

He was after all her most favourite thing in the 'verse. Next to Serenity. But Simon didn't have to know he came second to a gorram ship.
^^^^ hehehe I loved this part!!!!! So true to Kaylees character!!!<3
