Malachi's Move
Location: His Ship

The unknown ship had just been floating, too far to do any damage from so far away, but now she was turning and maneuvering to a grappling/attack position. "What's all this about?" Malachi asks the empty bit of space in front of him.

He pushes Slight into an out-of-the-way corner then turns his attention fully onto the ship's formidable instrumentation at his disposal. "She thinks I'm floating lifeless." Malachi says outloud, continuing his conversation with himself. His eyes narrow and a look of evil malice creeps onto his face.

Settling down at the helm controls, he manipulates a few of the ship's functions and sits back in satisfaction, waiting. The polarity of the hull had been temporarily reversed, which should give him the advantage. If and when this new ship tries to attach a grapple or fire an attack shot, it would be met with a rebounding effect... but only the first shot. After that, well, we'll just have to wait and see.

Slights move:

Slicht feels himself get pushed. For a moment, he feels like using an open-handed slap. Why does this man have such a problem with authority?
Then he smiles to himself. For many years now, he'd been struggling against the largest corporation in history, with fanatical soldiers played with for the intent of killing, by himself. Of the people in the entire 'Verse, he had the biggest issue with authority. Thanks, Dad.
Slight watches from the corner, sliding his arms into a folded position with spider-like movement. His resent. . .ressurection has left him with a few kinks in his joints. Almost immediately, the nano's that are left respond by scuttling to his belt, and pick up enough drugs to dope Londinium, and give 'em all loose hips. They fly back to the joints, and inject it directly to the areas needed. No waste.
Slight is shocked. What. . .how? Were these things the means of his Lazarus act? Works for him.
Slight sees Malachis adjustment, and senses the change in polarity.
Nice. Let's hope he's not the over-achiever in the 'Verse. If he unloads everything. . .might be bad.

RIVER'S MOVE
LOCATION - PASSENGER DORMS

“It is over now bahini, the dream is done. Perhaps you can explain to me what is causing you grief. Would you like to come back with me – join us. I would rather you were not ...alone."

The words aren't hollow. They wouldn't be, not when offered from the one source of quiet on Serenity.

And River really doesn't want to be alone. She never did before, and it never had the chance to change.

"Do you have a party dress? That might be ...fun, to dress up, yes?”

A half-hearted nod-- not a lie, more a distracted thought-- and she's about to agree, albeit reluctantly, when distant noise on the edge of dark silence is replaced with...

With the warmth of the summer Sihnon sun in a smile quietly beheld for them. "Fragile creatures," River murmurs, her head tipping even as Merz stares at the presence of Inara at the now broken door.

Looking between the two women, the world is clearer now. The burning in her blood-- usually tampered by chemicals-- still bothers her and she knows she has to fight it.

But perhaps not alone. Not with the question. Not with the missing whisper, and the hollow silence it leaves behind. She reaches a hand out, ever so carefully, to Inara, and waits.

Book's Move
Location: Bridge

Book walks in between Jayne's outstretched hand and Mal's, and murmurs under his breath. "He doesn't need any more just now, Jayne." Book continues walking to the helm, stops next to Zoe, and peers at one of the monitors. "Why were we called here, Wash?"

Jayne's move - Bridge

"He doesn't need any more just now, Jayne."

Jayne's grin turns disappointed at the preacher's advice. Of course he was right, but the captain wants his bottle, so he turns and places it on top of Wash's console where the blue light from the sensor monitor dances on it.

"Why were we called here, Wash?" The preacher moves up between Zoe and Jayne. "Yeah, why we here?"

Wash's Move:
Location - Bridge

(Jayne enters the bridge): "Whatcha'll doin' in here?" (To the bridge in general) "Ain't this s'posed ta be a party? Ya got one guest penned up an' the others all alone." (Jayne holds out a bottle to Mal, who reaches for it. Jayne, now focoused on Mal): "Now what'I win? Yer mag-naneemous presence?"

(Book presses between Jayne and Mal, and quietly tells Mal): "He doesn't need any more just now, Jayne." (Book then procedes to the helm, next to Zoe, and stares at the blacked-out moniter on the cortex, and says to Wash): "Why were we called here, Wash?"

(Wash turns to Book): "Slight just called on the cortex, wanted to talk to you all, and just a minute ago, we lost the signal, I think it was jammed, but I can't prove it."

EOM

Excerpted from a recovered/stolen data recording -

Ship's Log:

S.S. Butter Cookie: Captain Gilbert Lockharte, Commanding

Time Stamp: 21:16 AMT (09:16 PM)

Location: Somewhere just past the frontier

Cargo: Simple Farming Equipment, 100 Passengers and Crew

Following was pieced together by forensics experts from varous 'classified' sourses (Blue Sun personelle):
A simple boarding and hijack, passengers and crew presumed lost.

The truth of the matter is placed in basic form here: The captain saw that it was simply the absolute worst minute he had ever known, in his 66 years of life. For the Reaver patrol ship, they knew the truth too... it would be but one more minute until they would have one sweet haul.

Decoy, they make me go first.

ZOE'S MOVE:
LOCATION - BRIDGE

ZOE watches JAYNE place the alcohol on the console, and looks at MAL as WASH fills BOOK in.

WASH (to BOOK): "Slight just called on the cortex, wanted to talk to you all, and just a minute ago, we lost the signal, I think it was jammed, but I can't prove it."

While WASH speaks, ZOE leans forward and retrieves the bottle from the console. Knowing that MAL will want his full faculties available for dealing with SLIGHT and SIMON, ZOE tucks the bottle out of sight and leans forward to speak into MAL's ear.

ZOE (whispered, to MAL): "Sir, now might be a good time to sober up. Could be we got a situation here."

Straightening, she watches MAL for signs that he's heard and understood.

EOM - ZOE

KAYLEE'S MOVE:
LOCATION - BRIDGE

KAYLEE's worried, slightly frantic voice breaks into everyone's amusement at MAL's inebriated state.

KAYLEE (to WASH): "SLIGHT?!? WASH, did he say anything about SIMON? Where are they? What are they doing? Did you trace the signal at all?"

KAYLEE crosses to the console and stares at the screen, as if looking hard enough will tell her the answers to all her questions.

EOM - KAYLEE

Jayne's move - Bridge

Jayne is leaning forward and about to speak when Kaylee rushes in with her concerns. He turns and looks at her, the pretty face all drooping. Not like Kaylee at all.

"Them two's pro'ly just messin' round. Crank callin' er some such." His words seem to pass by unnoticed. And she already passed up chocolate and hooch. Sometimes Jayne just doesn't know how to deal with wimen.

MERZ move

LOCATION – RIVER’S DORM

Merz has heard/sensed Inara come into the doorway. Apparently so has River who half-turns to her direction and oh-so-carefully holds out one hand. Merz allows her the space to move, and turns her face to Inara.

Perhaps Inara has known her long enough, watched her long enough to see what might be a plea in her expressionless eyes. Merz has come to the end of her ability to cope with this situation. Damage has been averted and … comfort? given. Now what?

Merz looks at Inara and sighs deeply. “Please. What comes next?”

Inara's Move

LOCATION – River's room

The young Tam offers her hand and Inara takesk it, opening her arms to embrace the girl. Silently, Inara offers a prayer to the merciful Buddha that Simon -- wherever he was -- was safe and would return to them soon, whole. Kaylee misses him fiercely, and River needs him...

Merz looks at Inara and sighs deeply. “Please. What comes next?”

Inara smiles, pressing a gentle kiss to River's temple. "Now? Hm. Now we... go to my shuttle and have a cup of tea, and perhaps braid our hair and paint our nails?" she offered, little comforts to extend, but little luxuries out here in the Black...

EOM.
