So why would someone just take all the women and leave the men..oh...wait....EWW!!
Okay, that is NOT right!
And, if they're going to kidnap us for whatever reason, why put us on a facsimile of the ship? Did they think we wouldn't eventually figure it out? It doesn't make sense...
And if we're being monitored, what should we do? We can't just pretend like nothing's happened since we KNOW something's happened and they must know what we know...
Oh, my head hurts. I need a drink.

*wishes the women folk had chosen more supernatural powers...I hate using my brain.*
I think it’s obvious…we have to find out who has us and where we are. I don’t care why he has us, not yet anyway. So he can monitor us, oh well. We’ll just have to work around that. Give him too many things to monitor or something. I don’t know.
What do we know? We know Needleseye, Jet, and Mal are not with us…and I haven’t seen the brides. Why? Presumably because he was not able to get to them or he doesn't need them---though I think it's the former. We know we are on a ship of some kind that is designed to look like our ship. We know this mysterious person looks like Soul…but isn’t. *rolls eyes and sighs* That’s not much. Is it enough?
*follows Serenity over to the bar and grabs a random bottle and a glass*
Who needs a little something to relax and clear their heads before this gets even more crazy? I know I do.

*EvilSoul stands at the top of the stairs, shrouded in darkness. He watches, silently, as the women of the SereniTREE come to realize the oddness of their predicament. His arms are crossed, and he leans against the wall, his obsidian eyes surveying the crowd below. His gaze lingers over each one, analyzing their strengths, their weaknesses, and their mannerisms. If anything, he is a master at judging character, and that judgement will be crutial to his plans.*
*His plans. A smile crosses his lips as he thinks about his plans. His devious mind had crafted them long ago. He had come aboard the SereniTREE once long ago, finally freed from that horrible dimension that Mai had wandered into, thanks to TheRealMe's portal. Finally free after being sentenced there by none other than his own brother. Finally able to exact his revenge.*
*But the rebirth of TheGreyJedi is a problem. That alone can cause all of EvilSoul's plans to topple. TGJ is stronger now, and has powers that EvilSoul has only seen harnessed once before, by the only other man that can control them: His brother, Soul.*
*That's why EvilSoul had dumped his brother in that cave on Rukus and wiped his memory. If Soul regains his memory of who he has been before, then EvilSoul will not be strong enough to defeat him again.*
Not this time, brother. Not this time.
*He waves his hand in front of him, and several figures appear on the stairs in front of him. TheRealMe, Ath, Simon, PR, Rat, Static, and several others. They are exactly identical to their counterparts, except for their eyes, all of which shine with an obsidian glow.*
Go play!
*The figures turn, and as they do, their eyes change, and calm smiles appear on their faces. Now they look exactly like their counterparts, right down to their eyes.*
I took the women because they are too strongly willed. I can't turn them on my own, but I believe their men can...
*The plan was simple: make the women happy, make them want to stay. At the same time, lure the men into his trap: as soon as they try to rescue their women, as soon as they abandon the real SereniTREE...*
At last, the SereniTREE will be mine!!

A shudder works it's way down Jazaf's spine that takes him out of a meditative state.
'What in the nine spheres of hell is going on?'
While he was meditating, Jazaf felt a piece of himself tear away. It wasn't a large piece but it was significant enough for him to take notice. Not too soon after he felt the separation a cruel face flashed before him, but it wasn't the evil in the eyes, nor the the cruelty in the smile that startled Jazaf. Rather, it was the owner of the Face that shook Jazaf to his core. It was his own......

*flows along the astral plane, seeing, listening. Feels himself suddenly tugged violently into another plane. Just before flying back into his body, he senses the girls. And something...familiar, but copied. Someone tried to make a shadow of him. Tried. His eyes jerk open. He looks at Needleseye and Jet and sighs.*
So much for neutrality.
*he tries to get out from his chair, but finds himself light-headed. He falls back into his seat. The women look concerned, but he waves their concern off.*
Someone tried to make a shadow of me. Left me a little light-headed. Their mistake. Now, about this computer...SereniTREE?
*a low tone, much like a whale's song comes through the hull.*
I know, I know. I'm working on it. I've got to reload the software. You might feel a little weak, but it'll be better after. Let Static do the flying, your engines will hold.
*another tone, somewhat unsure.*
You'll be fine.
*TGJ brings up a few menus from his command chair and begins the OS restore.*

Right, Soul, a word in your ear. Or rather, one of these in your ear...
*produces horrible metallic device with a long cylinderical poker sticking out of it*
This will allow me to monitor all the neurological activity in your head, including any psychic connections. I don't know exactly what it will tell me but I'm sure it'll be useful.
Now, I'm not going to lie to you, this is probably going to hurt a bit.
All right, that was a lie, it's going to hurt a lot. But chin up, eh? No, really, chin up, I have to strap this on underneath. Any joy with the vapour trail Static?

But what confounds me is: why take us off SereniTREE and put us on what we're supposed to think is SereniTREE? If we were just supposed to be kidnapped, they could have taken us anywhere. But why do they want us to think we're on our ship? Are we supposed to feel safe? Are we supposed to be somewhere we feel comfortable? Why go to all this trouble? It must mean something.
*Pours herself another shot. Then pours TWG one, too.*

Wonders in drinking a rum and coke with lime.
"Hi"
*hiccup*
It is at that point I realize that this is not the Zocalo.
"oh."
"I guess I will go back to where ever I was before in search of the ever elusive perfect rum and coke with lime."

Go play!
*EvilAth walks into the fake Sereni-Tree common room. He spies TWG and Serenity drinking at the bar, but they are not his concern. The other men break off to their respective women, but that is not his concern.*
There!
*Ath spies Lissa amongst the other women. He waits for her to see him. When she does so, her face lights up and she runs over to him.*
Ath! You're okay! The others said we were kidnapped and that this is some fake Tree! Were they wrong? How'd you guys get here? What's going on?
*EvilAth smiles reassuringly and kisses Lissa on the cheek.*
Don't worry. Everything's okay. We're all here, see?
Look, it's getting crowded in here. Why don't we go someplace a little quieter?
*Lissa starts to protest, but Ath smiles and gives her another kiss on the cheek.*
I'll explain everything there. Everything's fine.
*Lissa still looks a little doubtful, but lets Ath lead her to his room.*
The Darkness Comes...
