I have him sort of loosely developed as Wash, but with an aptitude towards electronics rather than piloting. He'll be no more doopey than Wash is, and may even have his own collection of plastic Dinos on his workbench (I see a conversation like "Ooo..you have a Diplodicus?! I have a T-Rex and a Triceratops...", "Really? Well check this out..."...etc.
Mal: “The next time you decide to stab me in the back, have the guts to do it to my face.”

To All please for give me for my part in lending to the conflict and confusion here.
LA I was not aware that you and Phil where working on the first two episode of the FireFly Virtual series. Because I did not have this first hand Knowledge when I was approached by someone else who was interested in writing the first episode I said that he could have at it. Through correspondence with Daniel the last two or three days I decided to shorten the episode to 90 minutes and to get rid of early all together. After reading your post and seeing what you have in store I was wondering if you would be interested in doing this as a second episode.
Daniel I would also ask you to take Hui out of the story if you make this an episode.
LA and G this does not have to happen but would be beneficial. In doing this episode I would focus on the Inara story and highlight it with a Jubal sub plot. This seems like it would be a great episode.
It seems that while you to where working off line on the episode I had given permission to Daniel to do it.
Again I am so sorry. Here is what Daniel is working with to do the 90 minute premier he has tentatively titled Panic he has given me some other titles to think about but I think we are going to go with something more along the lines of A Chaotic Storm or something because I really don’t like one word titles but we will make that decisions when the entire episode is written at the rate he is going that will be tonight.
Again I am sorry and want you to see what he is working with for the episode so you know where to begin and or what to do. In this form there are seven acts but when the final is done it will only be six. We have already taken a bit of this out but this is what I started with thus what he started with. Daniel made some changes and now has the plans for the episode that he is writing. I read the teaser last night and it is excellent. Wash has some great lines and I think every one will be pleased with the episode.
I think that will fix every thing. Dan just make up a different character and LA and guys don’t use Badger and lose the bit at the end about the ship disappearing if possible that way will have this for the premire yours for two and three and mine for four.
Teaser
Wash and Zoe are in bed together conversating. After a minute something starts to beep and Wash gets up and flips up a computer screen. We then see the image of Hui on the monitor who ask Wash to take a job.
Act One
Mal, Zoe, Wash, Jayne, Inara, and Simon are in the kitchen area discussing the invitation to take the Job from Hui. Inara mentions that she has a client in the area that she would like to see. Simon ask for a cut so that he is able to get a special medication for his sister that he believes will work better than anything they have.
Act Two
Inara's shuttle leaves and Serenity lands at the docks in a major city on Isis. (Isis is a world just outside of alliance control but with technology equivalent to what we saw on Ariel)
Mal, Wash, Zoe, and Simon meet with Hui and discuss the job. They are to get supplies from the Alliance as a currier but they are to deliver it to an off world contact of Hui's instead of the Alliance.
While working out Book and Jayne notice River who is examining the door. When River leaves the ship sprouting off Riverisims, Book and Jayne decide to follow her.
As the tree leave the ship we see Badger and his gang.
Act Three
Mal, Wash, Zoe, and Simon accept the terms of Hui's deal after Simon haggles a little bit and is able to get some surveillance equipment.
Book, Jayne and River continue to walk through the crowded streets until River starts to realize something is wrong. When she falls flat on her face Jayne believes that it is the alliances and takes off back toward the ship. Book picks River up and heads off after Jayne.
Act Four
Book, Jayne and River meet up with Mal, Wash, Zoe, and Simon at the ships landing site. As they realize the ship is gone Mal begins plotting to retake the ship.
Jayne believes that it is the al

Essentially...yes. No on the medication, as they have that in spades, but Wash figues Simon could get more of a cut if he were more involved so suggests Hui who deals in less risky crime. Of course, nothing turns out so easy.

Except, as I said, Zoe will stay on Serenity. Also, all this takes place in act one and Jubal is revealed lurking during this.

River is catatonic and completely placid, so she says nothing really and so this stuff won't be in there. I already mentioned that I have Jayne going off to get duped by a prostitute as a sub plot of part two of this, so this storyline isn't even in part one.

Did you mention above for me to leave Badger alone for Daniel? Now I'm mixed up...

Act Four
Book, Jayne and River meet up with Mal, Wash, Zoe, and Simon at the ships landing site. As they realize the ship is gone Mal begins plotting to retake the ship.
Jayne believes that it is the alliance while Mal and Zoe seem to be leaning toward Niska while Simon who didn't seem to like Hui believes that he is to blame for the ships disappearance.
Badger has Kaylee tied up in the engine room and tells her that the captain will come for her and that is just what he wants.
Act Five
Mal, Wash, Zoe, Jayne, Simon, River, and Book continue to debate what to do as Inaras shuttle crashes in the background.
Badger contacts Mal.
The crew split up as half go to talk to Hui and half go to investigate Inaras crash.
Act Six
The crew get a ship from Hui. (Wash and Zoe should go to see Hui)
The rest of the crew make it to the crash site and are able to repair Inara's Shuttle. (Mal, Simon, River should go to rescue Inara. Mal not saying that he cares for her and Simon and River because she might need a doctor)
You get to pick where the other character Book and Jayne get to go.
Act Seven
With two ships and a plan Hui and the crew of Serenity retakes the ship.
You get to decide what happens to Badger
Tell you what, since none of that jives with what I'm writing, I'm considering bowing out. Seems like I;ve offered up what me and LostAngel have discussed, but there's also been a lot of other off-list conversations as well and I've missed some things that sneaked into the process. Inara's shuttle doesn't crash in mine, I don't write her story in until part t

That seems to be fine what i was thinking is that either you could take the crash out and Daniel could change the name of the contact. we spread the two eps out a bit so that we dont have to wash's contect gets the crew a job stories back to back and we use both of them. I think this will work. We might have to make some slight changes to one script or the other heer or theer but I don't think it will be that big of a deal just as long as the plots are not so similar that it seems like we've done the same thing twice and reading this it does not seem to be a problem you are using Jubal and Dan is using Badger. And as you pointed out there are a number of other diffrences.
Going to go and create a new thread now. VR 3 bye

Cool. I wouldn't thing back to back Hui stories would be so bad anyway, particularly in lligh of the fact that he's going to use Badger.
I'll shoot you the script for Part One: Objects in Motion tomorrow.
Mal: “The next time you decide to stab me in the back, have the guts to do it to my face.”
