Soul's Destiny's Shadow, twg's Admiral Nelson, and our beloved Sereni-Tree are all cruising the black.

Rat has woken from hibernation...Cozen has been attacked by a ferret and may need the attention of a vet...Static, our not-forgotten and much missed pilot, has returned...Emma is still MIA....

Most importantly, Lissa is trying our new Potty-go-Round.

Thanks, Weirdgirl. Here is my recap of the last thread (or last couple):

A while back, the Sereni-Tree landed among dandelions on Earth-That-Still-Is, and we relaxed for a couple threads, singing songs and breeding blue fishies and piffleponies. We even had a pifflepony race. During this time, Emma and Rat departed in the Admiral Nelson, one of the Sereni-Tree’s four shuttles. Their stated goal was to seek out some extra-terrestrial trading opportunity.

Sadly, at the start of the race, MollyTheParrot was injured in a tragic sporting accident. This sort of drove Cozen crazy, and he summoned up vast numbers of his Cozenbugs to assault the ship. The Sereni-Tree was damaged by the time we could re-gain control of the situation. This resulted in both Molly and Cozen being left to heal inside autodocs in the Infirmary, under the care of Montanagirl and SimonWho, our resident Vet and Doctor, respectively.

Then a distress call came from Rat and Emma. They were in trouble, being attacked and/or boarded by some unfriendly aliens far off in the black.

The Sereni-Tree was still too damaged by the Cozenbugs to go to the rescue. That was when SoulofSerenity revealed that he had a ship of his own, the Firefly class Destiny’s Shadow. Soul picked about half the Sereni-Tree’s crew and took them on a rescue mission. The Destiny’s Shadow, took off, piloted by the disembodied head of Succatash. Meanwhile, TheRealMe, TheGreyJedi, Jet, and Needleseye worked to repair the Sereni-Tree.

In Deep Space, the Destiny’s Shadow found the missing Admiral Nelson, adrift in space. ThatWeirdGirl and Jayne-clone2 went over in space suits to check it out. At that time, the DS was attacked by an enemy ship. Through some fine captaining, fancy piloting, and crack shooting, the enemy was destroyed. Aboard the Admiral Nelson, TWG and Jayne-clone2 found Mal-licious (?), Zoid (?), and Rat! TWG powered up the shuttle and flew off. Or at least flew around.

Back on Earth-That-Still-Is, the Sereni-Tree was repaired and about ready to take off to join in the rescue mission. However, Piffle and PsychicRiver were off playing around with their hang glider. They crashed near a village that was being attacked by REAVERS! They find a mule and speed back to the Sereni-Tree. They are followed by a pack of Reavers, driving bikes, cars, and buggies, Road Warrior style. TheRealMe has the Sereni-Tree take off and pick up the speeding mule. We also pick up newcomers Safe and Jack, who were also fleeing the Reavers.

It was at that time that TheGreyJedi decided to act, summoned up his ultra-tech super-sized mecha, destroyed all the attacking Reavers single-handedly, and immediately teleported his mecha and the Sereni-Tree into the vicinity of the Destiny’s Shadow in deep space.

TheRealMe had the Sereni-Tree dock with the Destiny’s Shadow, allowing the crews to mingle. ThatWeirdGirl, Jayne-clone2, Mal-licious, Zoid, and Rat are on the shuttle Admiral Nelson. Grey is in his super-mecha. Everyone else is on the combined Sereni-Tree / Destiny’s Shadow.

Just recently, Ash and Mai took a swim, and a second Rat woke up on the Sereni-Tree. Frankly, I’m wondering about Zoid being around. He hasn’t been in a clubhouse thread for perhaps 25 threads! Maybe that’s just a Mal-clone that Mal-licious was with (in a Zoid mask?). Or maybe it is really Zoid, and Mal-licious has kept him captive secretly all this time!

Anyway, that’s the way it is.

Oh, and CallMeSerenity has detected another ominous approaching blip on the sensors.

More news:

Static is once again active, returned from a strange journey through space and time. Cozen is stirring, his toe being bitten by a paricularly persistant ferret.

Mai and Lissa are playing around on their new potty-go-round (??) which apparently exists in the women's bathroom.

YOWWCH!

*He awakens with a painful lurch and a strangled scream. In attempting to dive off the medicot and escape the pain, he discovers his movements are restricted by several strategically placed bindings.*

Ack.

*His left big toe throbs with pain. Peering along the length of his forcefully prone self, he blearily espies a ferret, smiling, blood dripping from it's ferrety teeth. In the background he hears a splurty guffaw. His eyes slowly focus to a point across the infirmary, where a computer screen and several shiny instruments of torture, er... surgery look to be freshly besplattered with Pepsi.*

Funny, eh?

Hmmmm....

Now Dale, just because someone makes a disparaging comment about NASCAR in their sleep doesn't mean you have to go all "Intimidator ferret" on them. I swear, sometimes I wonder why I own a ferret. And how did you get here anyway?

*mg bends down and distracts the ferret with the most wonderful substance in the 'verse: a tortilla chip. Dale immediately grabs the chip and runs away to hide it.*

Now, let's look at that wound, shall we? Well, that ain't hardly a mosquito bite. *Applies a Winnie the Pooh bandage, then steps back and eyes cozen warily.* I'll let you out of these restraints if you promise not to go all crazy again. Molly is fine and playing with everyone up in the water park. I hear she even got TRM back a little bit.

*TGJ looks at a readout on one of Magnadeus' consoles. He frowns as several options suddenly list as unavailable as the mecha's systems finally begin a full reboot from the Grav Jump.*

Looks like we won't be making any more of thos anytime soon...

*He taps a button on the screen.*

TRM, can you read me? What's going on out there? My systems aren't all fully up and running correctly. Seems I'm not quite the man I was when I last piloted this thing, and Magnadeus is having some trouble adjusting.

STATIC

Monday, October 10, 2005 3:37 PM

Static strolls out of his sparse quarters and strolls silently down the corridor to the control cabin. He climbs into his cockpit and slowly runs his fingers over the familiar controls, as one might greet a lover that had been absent.

I missed you too, baby.

Static keys the comms switch
Grey, is your pulse beacon active? We can lock in on you and pick you up.

Propulsion and manuvering I've got. Sensors are a bit wonky...

*pauses, looking at the vid feed*

Man. You got old. Told you not to go. Welcome back though.

I still am seeking my Tower, but my journey has brought me here once more.

Static keys the shipwide comms

Attention, all denizens...we are about to change course and speed in order to pick up one of our wayward babes. Please be aware. This is neither an emergency nor a drill, so no freaking out.

Static's hands move over the controls with smooth familiarity, as a virtuoso pianist playing his favorite pieces. His beloved TREE moves in response without so much as a wheeze and the sail off through the black towards Grey.

Soul walks into the bridge and looks up towards Static's pilot dome. He can see the pilot up above, and knows the journey he's been on.

You're all too familiar with his pains, aren't you?

Soul turns to see his own dark shadow standing just inside the doorway, arms crossed.

"You think too much," Soul says. "We both have our pains, but his are different. His are..." Soul looks up towards Static again. "His are deeper."

You're downplaying yourself again. Still weak. Still too compassionate.

"My compassion is my strength, not my weakness." Soul turns to his dark shadow. "I would think you'd know that by now."

His dark side shrugs. You've still got alot to prove.

Soul looks away, out through the viewscreen and towards Grey's Mecha. "So do you."
