Leaving the Infirmary, Ertia collects her gear from the storage closet, and looks for a quiet corner in which to work.
The cargo bay is a swarm of activity and she heads up the stairs, but there's a group in the galley. As she passes, she fancies she hears a familiar voice, but shrugs it off. Probably just one of the crew.
Heading back across the catwalk, she opens the spare shuttle and settles down to work. Through her earpiece she pipes in some rowdy dance music off the cortex. Toes tapping against the chair frame, she starts hunting down some way to get Serenity's registration back into the clear.

Meanwhile in the Galley....
*Somehow the business talks between Mal and Pain's uncle turned to stories of Pain's childhood. Pain has his thumb and forefinger of his good hand pinching the bridge of his nose as his uncle tells Mal, Zoe, and Wash about the time Pain first rode a horse*
And I swear Pain here was so scared when that horse reared up on him, he wouldn't come out of the house for weeks.
*The four of them laugh as Pain sits there trying not to relive his childhood. Mal pours some whiskey into his glass and says*
That is funny I have to say.
*Pain says a little irritated*
Can we just please get on with business and stop embarassin' me in front of my crew?
*Wash chimes in*
Aw come on Pain cheer up. It's not like Jayne's here or anything.
*Pain shakes his head and wonders when this day is going to be finished.*

Here's the description of the Titan class Cargo Vessel Genghis:

Cargo Capacity: (internal) 25000 tons, (external) 8 40ft 25 ton cargo containers (mounted in tandem)
Crew Quarters: 14 single, 1 Double
Features:
Standard Bridge/Crew Quarters/Galley layout
8 VTOL thrusters mounted in tandem on 4 external pylons
1 massive cargo bay in front with standard sized cargo bay airlocks on each side (which come to think about it I could've had Serenity land inside of said massive cargo bay)
4 shuttles
6 Main engines
2 top mounted cranes that can be removed if need be
Summary:
The Titan class Cargo Vessels were the largest cargo ships to operate both in space and in atmo. From 2460-2510 25000 were built and used mostly by companies like TG Freight and Trans Universal. They were discontinued due to the cost of production.

Don't let Kaylee near those engines! She'll go ga ga and we won't get her back onboard Serenity.
Ertia's eyes blur a bit as she digs up every bit of data she can, spinning tendrils across the cortex, sliding them through back-doors, and around fences.
She peers into the very heart of Alliance Department of Transportation and comes up empty handed and feeling slightly dirty.
A block of text shorts across the bottom of her screen, "Kitten, see The Bins, Boros."
Two buttons and she's there. The Bins! There's her answer. It's majestic! She taps a return message, shooting through a substation on Boros. "Luv U, Hells!"
"Love ain't but a whisper in the dark. It's the bits that matter." the reply flashes back.
Ertia taps, "IOU. BIG."
"Hear that alot from you, Kit."
"Box, Hells. I'm 404. No Rad."
She ends the transmission, reroutes back to an innocent store selling silk underwear and places an order just to prove she was there.
Smiling, answer in hand, she heads to the bridge to tell the Captain.
ooc- so, Manitou asks during our regular phone-call, "What did you do today?"
'Oh, not much. Wrote some fanfic, played some RPG, hacked into an Alliance database, had kinky shower sex. The usual.'
"Really? Who with? Can I watch?"
'DrPain, and sure you can. It was pretty public kinky shower sex.'
I think he was actually more excited about the hacking than the sex. I dunno if he's reading, but if he is, HI, Manitou!!

ROFLOL!!!! Too funny. It's a good thing I drank all my Coke before I read that, or else I'd be shopping for a new monitor right now
. Hi Manitou I promise not to be too rough with Ertia here. Wolfie: Sorry to hear about you being sick. Hope you get better.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Once they've finished with the crates she says to JR*
Fly: JR, wait, I need a hand.
JR: OK Fly
*she waits for everyone to clear the Cargo bay. She opens the big steel floor to the bomb bay area.
Fly: I may need to hand you something *She jumps down inside amongst the trash*
JR: Fly, what are you doing?
*she starts to search*
Fly: Here. *she hands JR one of 13's blades that Kaylee cut off*
JR: What in pu gu are you doing Fly
Fly: Just take them for me
*JR Grabs another one from her
Fly: Got it!!
*She puts her hand up from below for JR to help her up*
Fly: Thanks
JR: You wanna tell me what you are doing with these.
Fly: Nope, but thanks for your help JR
*She closes the lid to the bomb
Fly: Thanks. *She finds a rag and wraps the 4 blades in it, and heads to the galley*
*As she rounds the corner she can hear laughter coming from inside, something about stories of Pains Past*
Fly: Uncle Bobbie you aren't giving all Pains secrets away to the crew are you?
*Pains Uncle Bob stands and hugs Fly off the floor*
Bob: Fly my girl. *He holds onto her bi-ceps* Look at you. You haven't changed a bit. Still in top physical shape ain'tcha.
Fly: Aww Uncle Bobbie you always know how to make a girl feel special.
Bob: Well you are special to me girl. Very
Fly: Thanks Uncle Bobbie *She gives him another kiss on the cheek* I've missed you
Bob: Me too my gal, me too. *They looks at each other for a bit and he sits back down not taking an eye of Fly and says* Ok, where were we.
*Since she has known Pain for 20 years, she was quite close to his family including Bob. He considered her his nice.*
Fly: I'll be in my bunk if anyone needs me *she walks up behind Bob and kisses him on the top of the head* Hope to see you before you leave Uncle
Bob: You will my dear
Fly: Good
*She heads back to her bunk*
"Don't forget to call him "Sir." He likes that."

*Bob says as Fly leaves*
Ah it sure was nice to see Fly again. Are you two still together Pain?
*Pain shakes his head and says*
Nope we broke up four years ago. We've remained friends since.
*Bob says to Pain*
Ah that's a shame boy. Glad to hear that you two are still friends though.
*Pain nods and says*
Yeah. So let's talk business.
*Bob nods his head and says to Mal*
Right right. Well my company is having some problems with a fellow named Badger. Have you heard of him?
*Mal responds*
We've had dealings with him before.
*Bob continues*
Right well it seems the little pissant is trying to expand his business by threatening my suppliers, pilots, and clients and doing a right fine job too.
*Mal nods his head and says*
Uh huh so what do you need us for?
*Bob continues*
I have a source inside of Badger's gang. Badger has a shipment of illegal weapons hiding in a scrap yard on Beylix. Now those weapons belonged to one of my suppliers who Badger has managed to turn against me. I want those weapons back. I don't care about the supplier I'm sure Pain can take care of that. What I need is a crew who can recover something quick and return it to it's rightful owner.
*Mals takes in the information and says*
What's in it for us if we take this job?
*Bob smiles and says*
Well since Pain here is under your employ, I'm willin' to pay you 15% of the cut. That's five more than what I usually pay.
*Mal replies*
And how much is this shipment?
*Bob grins and says*
It's worth 120,000 Credits.
*Mal says in shock*
Ta ma de!
*Just then Ertia walks in, sees Pain's uncle and then sees the Captain's face and says*
Hi you must be Pain's uncle I'm Ertia. Pain what's with the Captain?
*Pain introduces her to his uncle and fills her in on what just went down.*
