Ertia, feeling far more rested after a cold shower, *grumble grumble..who used all the hot water? didn't even think anybody else was even up yet. grumble grumble* has her postshower musings interupted by the sound of a gunshot.
Automatically, she reaches for her laser pistol, only to remember that she gave it Kaylee to be charged. Feeling a bit panicky, she flings opens the shower-room door and steps out, coming straight face to face with a limping DW and an armed and irritable looking DrPain. "What the hell is going on? Who's shootin?"
Pain glances over. "Nothin to worry your pretty wet naked bod over, Ertia. Seems one of our passengers had a run-in with our Security and Safety Chief's gun."
"Oh. Everything okay then?" Ertia hesitates, then realizes what Pain said, and that she's being stared at, and that all she's wearing is a substantial amount of cold water and a rather small towel. "OH! Kwin-gwe-je deh!"
Leaping back into the shower room, she slams the door behind her.

*Pain and DW look in awe as they watch a naked Ertia scurry back into the shower room. Pain tries not to smile as he still holds the gun on DW. Pain says to him*
Well that was a fun distraction now get in the infirmary so's the doc can patch you up.
*They both walk into the infirmary (well DW limps in) as Simon who was oblivious to Ertia's nakedness walks over to examine DW's foot. Simon says to both of them*
What happened to him and why do you Pain have a rather large gun pointed at him?
*Pain responds*
Oh yeah um he sorta had a run in with JR's gun and the reason I have a gun on him is because of security reasons. Oh and you might wanna get him a change of pants seeing as he had a little accident.
*Pain lowers his silenced pistol to his side as Simon says*
Right security reasons sure Pain. *Simon looks at DW's pants and hides a look of disgust* I'm sure that's what the Captain would call putting a gun to someones head and ordering them to walk to the infirmary without any help.
*Pain looks at Simon and says*
Yeah well I didn't wanna take my chances.
*Pain walks out of the infirmary as Ertia steps out of the shower room fully clothed this time. She looks at him almost about to laugh, punches him in the arm and says*
Just shut up Pain and don't mention it to anybody that you saw me naked I'm serious.
*She gives him a sort of serious look as he says to her*
Right and I'm sure you didn't walk out of the shower naked on purpose.
*Ertia rolls her eyes, punches him in the gut, and storms off to her room saying as she leaves*
I'm serious Pain maybe I'll catch you naked one of these days and laugh my butt off.
*She turns around quickly and sticks out her tongue then resumes heading to her bunk. Pain chuckles to himself as he heads of to find JR, thinking of Ertia naked with a big grin on his face.*

I apologize with the utmost sincerity of commiting the act known widely as "thread-jacking." I've taken this thread down a strange, yet adventurous path, and although I'm sure you all enjoyed it, I can't help but feel guilty at trying to take control, what with the robot and High Charity and Zenith and the map side-story (A shout-out to Fly for that fantastic stereogram, by the way) and the enormous gunfight.
So, in short, the character 13 will become a permanent member of the crew, and after this whole DW business is wrapped up, I'll spend some time writing fanfics, not controlling threads.
Once again, I'm sorry.
It is quite alright,,,you have brought us in different directions, but you kept us on our toes.....seriously....BTW,,,,Fly was gonna return the map after her session with the Dr. She was feeling rather quilty the fact she "TOOK" the map.....Fly is a honest person and will always be....Glad you decided to stay a permanent character......no apologies needed. And, you are welcome,,,took me a while to come up with that stereogram....hope everyone had fun looking at the link.....Oh, and I wanted 13 to be the key to the whole map!!!!
"Don't forget to call him "Sir." He likes that."

*she finds herself on the floor on her butt with gun in her hand. She has stella reflexes when it comes to being nudged whilst sleeping*
Wo de ma!!!!! *She says with gun pointed at 13 with both hands giving it a steady aim.*
13,,,what are you doing and did I hear a gun shot?
*She gets up quickly and 13 sees the letter in her back pocket*
I gotta see what that was.....YOU come with me.......
*They head to the Cargo bay*
"Don't forget to call him "Sir." He likes that."

(Strange how I was thinking the same thing about 13 being the key, Fly. Sadly, I aint too sharp on how it's going to work. Maybe it gets recorded with the iCam, or something...)
*Fly and 13 enter the cargo bay..)
(as you came up with the wonderful stereogram, I think you're better at this "letter thing" than me)
(DW, you're disgusting.)
I think a little chaos is in order.

*Pain walks up the stairs to the back hall when he sees Fly and 13 come running into the cargo bay. Pain walks down the stairs and heads for them. Fly and 13 spot Pain carrying his pistol walking towards them. They stop in their tracks in the middle of the cargo bay. Fly says to Pain*
What happened? We heard a shot? What's goin' on?
*Pain unscrews the silencer, puts it back in its pouch, holsters his pistol, and says to Fly as he puts a reassuring hand on her shoulder*
DW met our Safety & Security Chief JR and got shot in his left foot. The doc's patching him up right now in the infirmary.
*The three of them walk to the infirmary. Pain stays behind in the common area as Fly and 13 talk to DW and Simon. Pain watches the four of them talking. He sees Fly come his way with a look in her eyes as she says to him in a hushed tone*
So explain to me why you had a gun pointed point blank to the back of DW's head?
*Pain says to her*
Like I told the doc, security reasons. I didn't want DW to do anything stupid because I didn't think he was being as honest as he's trying to make himself out as. Besides I'm not the one who shot him that was JR, perhaps you should talk to him about why he did what he did and not me. Why don't you and 13 go help the doc get DW to his quarters while I go find JR.
*Fly sighs, nods her head, and goes to help DW as Pain walks up the stairs leading to the back hallway to look for JR.*

Still embarrassed about running around the ship naked, Ertia drops quietly into Kaylee's bunk and tucks her black case into a corner.
Kaylee stirs in her sleep, smiling, and Ertia tucks her pink flowered blanket up to her chin before quietly exiting again. Kaylee's a decent bunk-mate,(Heck, she spends all her time in the engine room or with Simon!) but they'll both be glad when Ertia can move back to her own room.
Climbing back up, she runs into Mal as he climbs from his own bunk, "I hear shootin'?"
"Our boys shot one of their boys, I think. Simon's fixing him." Ertia explains quietly, "I believe we're all getting to be just a little on edge, Captain."
Mal runs a hand over his hair, ducking his head. "Yeah. Feeling that way myself. You able to get those ducts done today?"
"No worries." Ertia gives him a grin and heads for the closet to get her cleaning gear as Mal heads towards the Infirmary to find out what's going on in his ship.

*Pain is about to turn the corner into the back hallway as he runs into the Captain. Pain says to Mal*
Oh hey there sir didn't see you.
*Mal says to Pain*
Same here. You wanna explain to me why there's shootin' goin' on on my ship and who got shot?
*Pain replies*
Well I wasn't the one who did the shootin' that was JR, who by the way I was just about to look for. The guy he shot was named DW. If'n you hurry you can catch him before Fly and 13 haul him back into his quarters.
*Mal says back to Pain*
Well go find him and when you do tell him the Captain wants to speak to him on the double dong ma?
*Pain says to the Captain as Mal heads to the infirmary*
Yes sir I'll tell him that.
*Pain turns back and heads to JR's bunk to see if JR might be there, wondering how much trouble JR might be in.*

*Mal reaches the infirmary and sees that Fly, 13, and DW aren't there. He releases a string of Chinese swears and says to Simon who's still there*
Where is DW and where are Fly and 13 for that matter?
*Simon says to Mal*
DW is in his guest quarters I don't know where Fly or 13 went off to.
*Mal gets red in the face and sort of yells to Simon as he heads out of the infirmary*
Great! Just great!
*Mal swears up a storm as he hits the com button and says to Jayne and Zoe over the P.A.*
Jayne, Zoe meet me at DW's quarters ma shong.
*Mal clicks off the com and storms off to DW's room and waits for them to show up.*
Meanwhile.......
*Pain hears Mal's voice over the P.A. and thinks to himself as he stops in front of JR's bunk*
Man the Captain sure does seem pissed.
*He sees Jayne and Zoe walk past him, heading for the passenger dorms, as Pain knocks on JR's hatch and says*
Hey JR you in there? The Captain has a bone to pick with you.
