*Serenity wakes up in the infirmary..again. She seems to do that alot lately. It takes her a few moments to remember where she is and why she's there.*
*She turns her head and stares for a few moments at the door that leads to the cryo chamber. She hasn't been in there since...before..well, it's been too painful to think about. But she gets up now and walks through the door. She finds where he lay and sits down on the floor next to him. She wipes the condensation off the glass so she can see his face. He looks so...peaceful. More so than he ever did in life.*
*For a long time she just sits there, lost in thought. One hand on the glass, one hand on her belly. And for the first time since he died, she doesn't feel quite so alone.*
*Finally she stirs.*
Thanks for the Christmas present.
*She leaves a kiss on the glass and gets up.*

*Ath walks into the infirmary, and sees his sister in front of a cryotube. He gives her a moment or two with him before getting her attention by clearing his throat.*
"Hey sis, you okay? SimonWho told me you passed out."
*Serenity tells Ath that she's fine, just a little too much partying.*
"Well in that case, have you seen Mai? I looked everywhere, even her room, but I can't find her."
"Invader's blood marches through my veins like giant radioactive rubber pants. The pants command me! Do not ignore my veins!"

Bride6 lugs her large backpack full of weapons and follows Bride7 through the twisty, winding tunnels under Boros. “This stuff is HEAVY!” she whines.
Bride7 stops suddenly and raises her hand to signal Bride6.
Bride6 smiles and waves back. “Oh!” she says, louder than she should. She points. “Look! Look! There are people up ahead! Let’s go introduce ourselves!”
Bride7 sighs heavily and shakes her head as a number of weapons whine to life and are pointed at the pair.
Bride6 frowns. “They don’t seem too friendly, huh?”

* TheRealMe addresses the folk in the Sereni-Tree’s Common Room. *
Okay, here is our situation.
We have recovered ThatWeirdGirl, who seems to be busy renewing her relationship with Static the Gunslinger, but we have also discovered that she is possibly PsychicRiver’s mother in some future reality! Come to think of it, this might help to explain how Rat can be my father, even though he is two cycles of the Rat younger than I am!
Anyway, PsychicRiver has thus acquired an unknown conspiracy-laden past (which includes time travel and memory editing), and he has sort of gone a little crazy again, like when he tried to feed M&Ms to our aluminum Christmas Tree.
Serenity seems to be mysteriously in a delicate condition.
Bluefishie is doing backflips in Limbo.
Ebo stuck her head in to say hi.
Safeat2nd and CastIronJack have snuck off in a shuttle to Boros.
Finally, a number of the crew, including Mai and Brides 6 and 7, seem to have disappeared.
Did I miss anything?
Oh, yes, and SoulofSerenity is still dead.

Back on Boros;
“This is the place” Citizen says stopping and turning back to the two men crouched in the tunnel. “But I don’t understand why we had to come here. I have a job for you and this is just wasting time.”
“I just wanted to check on our ride.” Safe says, lifting the grate above him. The grate opens to a vacant docking bay at the far end of the semi-circular hanger. What he sees only confirms his suspicions. One quarter of the Space Terminal is in flames. Safe turns to Jack, “You still have those field glasses?”
Jack rummages in his back pack and pulls out the glasses, handing them to Safe.
Safe focuses the glasses on the fire. “Well, that settles that. Either scar man is the vindictive type, or they know we’re here...”
As if to punctuate that statement, a troop of Alliance soldiers march to a stop on the tarmac outside the bay. The lead officer starts barking orders.
“Set up a command post here, use these empty bays. Johnson, go to the terminal headmasters office and find out when that shuttle docked and who flew in on it. Chen, take a team of men and find out who owned that shuttle or what ship it was registered to and I don’t care if you have to reassemble every little smoking piece to do it.”
Safe slowly and quietly lowers the grate. He holds a finger to his lips indicating to Jack and Citizen the need for silence. He crouches with them and, via hand gestures, communicates to Jack the number of soldiers and their positions.
Citizen watches on. Not exactly sure what was happening, but understanding enough to know the gravity of the situation. One didn’t survive long in his line of work without learning when to hold your tongue.
The three men slowly creep away from the grate as the vacant bay above them become a very busy place. As they reach a cross tunnel Jack signals Safe and Citizen to stop. They hear footsteps approaching. All three men draw their weapons.

What? Mai is missing? Did you try your wrist communicator?
*she speaks into hers*
Mai? Mai, where are you? Ath is looking for you.
*nothing*
Mai?
*still nothing*
Hmm..maybe she fell asleep somewhere strange. You know how hard it is to wake her up. Why don't you ask the computer to locate her?

Bride6 stops herself just before lobbing the grenade in her hand. She turns to Bride7. "Hey, don't we know those guys? Why, it's the guys we picked up during the Reaver attack! It's Mister Safe, and Mister Jack, and..."
Citizen takes a closer look at the pair of women. His eyes strain in the dim light to make out the features of the curly haired blonde. "Bobby Sue, is that you?"
Bride6 blushes, eyes downcast. "Hello, Mister Citizen."
Bride7 chuckles. "So you know this guy, too?"
"Uh huh. I used to work for him."
"She was a dancer," Citizen informs the group.
Bride6 looks up and glares at Citizen. "I was an ACTRESS!" Bride6 insists, face redder than before.
From above, there is another explosion.

Computer, locate Mai.
Mai is not aboard the Sereni-Tree.
Well! It seems to me that there is only one course of action for us to take. It is time for Mai-Quest II!

OOh! Mai-Quest!
Let me just go run and get my katanas!
And a banana. I'm really craving bananas today.
