Location: Cargo Bay
*Pain is sitting on a crate in a far corner, carefully watching the survivors of High Charity, ready to take action should any one of them decide to do anything stupid. He's noticed that 13 is in the cargo bay and watches as Ertia goes over to speak to him. He calmy lights the cigar that he stuck in his pack of smokes as the one named Ari starts yelling at Ertia for shooting at him with a machine gun. Pain calmy strides over to them, his hand on his AK ready to use it if the need arises. He stops by Ertia's side as she finishes calling for the doc and says to both of them while looking at Ari out of the corner of his left eye, blowing out a puff of smoke from his cigar*
Is there a problem here?

*Fly gets a sniff of cigar that instantly reminds her of....
Jack.....she says as the words break her trance looking at the unknown man. She turns to see Pain with the cigar....she smiles......was a comforting smell after a while, and I guess it will always be..She sees Pain approach Ari......Doc talks to her and tells her to hand him another blanket and she does.....
She goes back to staring at the unknown man wodering who and where he came from.
She, like the rest, wait for the captain to see this.
"Don't forget to call him "Sir." He likes that."

*grins at Pain kind of sheepishly as she ducks behind him to use as cover* "Not really a problem, exactly. I think I kinda maybe shot this gentleman."

*Mal rushes in just as Ari quiets.* "Ertia? You stirrin' up muck again?"
*Still hiding behind Pain, she gives Mal what she hopes is a wide-eyed innocent look* "Not me, Captain. I think the problem is over there."
*Mal follows her finger to the man lying on the cargo bay floor, Shepherd Book at his side, and Jayne standing defensively nearby. He takes a good look, and then looks around accusingly, * "Alliance? Where in the black did that come from!? Somebody want to explain this to me?"

*Pain sees Ari relax as the meds Simon injected in him take effect, relaxing his grip on the AK as he says to Simon*
Good timing there doc. If'n you didn't do what you did I would've had to shoot him.
*Simon looks at Pain and says*
Yes I suppose it was.
*Simon heads off to check on the guy from the escape pod*

*Pain steps away from Ertia and says to her while smiling*
I'll let you tell him.
*Pain then walks over to where Fly is, calmly smoking his cigar as he repositions his AK*

*Mal breaks her trance this time*
Sir, he is the one we rescued from the pod. Book doesn't think he is Alliance though
Doc: I believe there is nothing more I can do here for him. I need to get him to the infirmary to do some more testing, he needs oxygen and I need to check for internal injuries. The others have been taken care of. They can rest here for the time being.
*Doc motions to Pain to help carry him the unknown man to the infirmary. Pain hands Fly the AK and then*
Pain: Here preacher. You might also be interested in this. He hands the preacher a book, THE ART OF WAR by Sun-tzu.
Book: What is this son?
Pain: Haven't looked at it yet. Found it in the pod. Looked interesting.
Book: Hmmm
*Pain proceeds to help Simon*
Fly: What is it preacher? *He shows here the book* I remember this book......It's a way of life. *She takes the book from Shepherd* It's a book to teach discipline and you apply these concepts to your everyday life. Interesting...You mind? I'd like to look at this.
Book: No, I don't mind.
Mal: Ok, then Doc. You do what you have to do, but handcuff this one. I don't care how, to the table if you have to....I don't want this guy loose on my ship until we know his story. Ertia,,,can you give me an update on who is who here? *He motions to an unconscious Ari and the rest*

*Pain helps Simon carry the unconcious man in the Alliance uniform to the infirmary and sets him down in the exam chair. Pain says to the doc as Simon starts checking the man's vitals*
Is there anything you need me to do doc?
*Simon says while looking over the guy*
Um yeah you can put out that cigar and try not to get in the way.
*Pain almost forgetd that he's still smoking the cigar, takes it out and carefully snuffs it out on a counter, wiping off the ashes on the counter so that the doc wouldn't get mad at him and says to Simon*
Well if'n you need me I'll be sitting outside on the couch.
*Simon is too busy with the guy from the escape pod to respond to Pain as Pain steps out of the infirmary and sits down on the couch outside, calmly relighting his cigar as he puts his feet up on the coffee table, noting that the doc is probably still pissed at him for looking at his girl*

*Ertia sighs and faces Mal.* "We've got six survivors from High Charity, and one not-so-survived. I'm afraid this one..."
*She glances down at Ari, who's beaming back with a morphine induced smile on his face, humming something under his breath.*
"He kinda took some friendly fire, but it's not too bad. Doc patched him up."
"Freindly fire." Mal repeats, just lookin' at her in that "you are seriously tellin' me you shot him" look. It's getting earily familiar.
"Uh huh!" Ertia tries perky. Sometimes Perky works on Mal.
"Well, get them all into passenger dorms." Didn't seem to work so good. "Double 'em up if you have to."
"Yes, sir." *Ertia goes about trying to find rooms for the new passengers, hoping they actually willl make it to Persephone this time.*

*after clearing up some business with Deep-Water RIkun (first mate of High Charity, 13 returns to his bunk, hoisting his legless body into bed*
(nothing you do will matter to them. they don't even register your feelings they joke, laugh...)
Meanwhile, near Ari's doped self...
*Fly discovers a smudged letter with the initials W.L.G on the seal*
What is this..*curiousity gets the better of her..*
(you guys take the letter from here. I got nothing)
I think a little chaos is in order.
