Book's Move

Location: Infirmary

Looking up from nowhere at the sound of Wash's voice coming over the comm, Book is drawn back to the present. Book walks silently to the door of the infirmary, leans himself forward and peers quickly from side to side, assuring that he and Simon are alone with Niska. He closes the door and goes back to the med table.

Book to Simon

"I thought you'd realize my deception sooner, doctor... I'm sorry I had to do it."

Book takes the vial from Simon and peels off the false label he had attached.

"I didn't want anyone to know I had this... better, if ever it got found, that they thought it was a stimulant... and it can be used as one... a very powerful one. Better to think that they are using it for that... better than to know... the truth"

Book hands the vial back to Simon

MAL:[Clicks on intercom to Bridge.]Says to Wash:"Drive inconspicuously. Wash, we don't need no explanation to our purpose as we're not breaking any laws. But if we do get hailed, tell 'em we're here for a pickup. Keep it short and simple. Also, don't enter Hara's atmo 'till I get the high sign from our wunderkind mechanic that all's well with Serenity. Oh yeah, did Zoe get a wave sent off to Thorne yet?"[Mal stays in Engineering awaiting answer.]END TURN.

Zoe's Move:

Responds to MAL's questions regarding the meet:

"Makin' the call now, Sir."

Flips the necessary switches as WASH moves to the side. No one answers immediately, just a message screen shows. Hits the switch to disconnect the call without leaving a message and turns back to the intercom.

"Can't seem to raise Thorne. Might be he ain't sittin' right in front of his vid screen waiting for us. Might have to leave him a message with our ETA on Hera."

Looks at the plate she brought WASH before the fires broke out. Tests the temperature with her finger and finds it cold. Takes the plate back to the galley.

To WASH: "Sorry, dear, it seems your lunch got cold. We can do something about gettin' you fed once we set down."

End Move.

..WASH's MOVE

Wash patiently listens to Mal's response via intercom and then tersely gives his reply, "Drive inconspicuously. Copy that, sir." Then he shuts the intercom off. He glances over at his dinosaur toys, one of which is still looking at him ruefully.

"Didja git all that?" he mumbles at it.

Drive inconspicuously, thinks Wash to himself. Not doing anything wrong? Oh, other than harbouring a couple fugitives. Nothing wrong. About to go pick up some jing-tsai contraband or down on their luck criminals or who knows what but other than that we're a bunch of flying nuns with halos in here.

Why the hell am I still here? Oh yeah. Love. He smiles to himself. What an incredible idiot I am.

The scout ship doesn't change its course and doesn't hail Serenity. Wash does the same. Like a snake in the grass, leave it alone it'll leave you alone, but the fact it doesn't hail Wash makes him sweat even more as the seconds tick by and they draw ever closer to Hera.

Ten minutes or so more drift by, as do a few other Alliance ships. And thus far no hails. No alarms on his console. Nothing. Wash drives Serenity strong and steady, hoping she and he belay a lack of confidence he's feeling inside.

Into the shipwide monitor: "We'll be hitting orbit range of Hera in about fifteen ticks, gang. Planet fall will be soon after that."

Thorne's move:

Flashback: Thorne sets up his comm to recognize the Firefly's signal and return the call in case he's otherwise occupied. He records, voice only, no vid:

"Welcome to Hama, Serenity. This is Thorne. Trust you had an uneventful trip. Meet me at the Hara Cary bar when you get in. I'm transmitting a packet of clearances that should get you past purple-belly customs with no problem. See you shortly."

Present: The comm, responding to Zoe's call, sends the message throught the Cortex to Serenity.

OOC: Astriana, please add my email address flygeezer@cox.net to the cast list.

MAL:[Sensing it might be awhile for Kaylee to return to Engineering, starts looking around engine room. Thinking that there's a good deal of jury-rigging going on in here. This furthers his resolve to overhaul engine and keep a stock of critical spare parts in ship's stores. Getting hungry while snooping around, Mal starts eating Kaylee's food.]END TURN.

..WASH'S MOVE (SUPPLEMENTAL)

Zoe said, "Sorry, dear, it seems your lunch got cold. We can do something about gettin' you fed once we set down."

Wash replies, "That's okay, I wasn't hungry. You're the only nourishment I need, lover." He gives a weak smile.

Quick Synopsis

Wash and Zoë are on the bridge, eating and piloting.

Mal is “searching” for Kaylee in the engine room, and her food is getting all cold and eaten. Kaylee, having found a vid-recorder in Inara’s shuttle, goes in search of Mal.

Jayne has taken the semi-unconscious Inara into his own quarters, and gets some pills to give to Inara.

Simon and Book are in the infirmary preparing drugs to revive Niska.

River wanders freely about the ship.

Serenity is about to land on Hera.

Thorne awaits their arrival, and also Rowan, a feisty, Asian jack-of-all-trades.

Early is close enough in the Reaver ship to use his video monitors, again…

OOC:I have a funny feeling that, unless a Deus ex Machina occurs pretty soon, four acts just isn't going to wind this puppy up. Does it look like this is shaping up to be a two-parter? Not that I have a problem with that, mind.
