River is comforting Simon now (For a change).
Shh, shh, ge-ge.
She strokes Simon's hair, and drops the bottle.

Rowan's Move:
Location: Outside Serenity
Rowan chuckles over the girl's enthusiasm, admiring her spunk and envying her a bit for her innocence.
ROWAN: "Sorry to hear about that. I'm a good hand with a wrench too, if you need one. As to the Nav Sats, I could offer at least a stage 5 upgrade."

Simon's Move
LOCATION - INFIRMARY
Upon hearing the bottle hit the ground, Simon looks up into River's eyes and seems to be startled at the role reversal. Still Holding her, he leans over and gently retrieves the bottle
SIMON
takes a steadying breath this time
"Thank you meimei ... I'll need a hypo, can you please get it for me?"
River reluctant to release Simon, attempts to snatch a sealed hypo from the just-out-of-reach work tray, nearly upsetting both the tray and Simon's perch on the Cryrobox. At the clatter River quickly looks back to Simon who, while blanched and aged looking, gives her a reassuring grin. He takes the hypo and tries to prepares it with shaking hands. River gently takes the hypo and bottle and expertly loads it and looks at Simon with questioning eyes.
SIMON
"Yes, it might be better if you do it, I know you can"
River swabs his carotid artery and efficiently injects the medicine. Simon closes his eyes and goes limp over the Cryobox

I am bushed ... last post fer awhile!

Rowan's Move:
Location: Outside Serenity
ROWAN (to herself): I lingered too long, let the companion see too much. My fault - haven't seen anyone like her since I left the core. Like finding a swatch of red velvet in a stack of burlap.
------------------------------
Inara: Will you come with us? I'm sure the Captain will be back soon, the least we can do is introduce you to our dear Serenity.
------------------------------
ROWAN (hesitant): "As I can't quite pay the whole fee, I'll admit I'm leery about boarding without the captain's word. I've been on ships with captains who didn't take too kindly to the idea that I was on for barter. Nearly got jettisoned out an airlock once. Until he tasted my hot and sour soup, that is."

Thorne:
Zoe To MAL: "What's our move, Sir?"
Thorne has heard all Zoe had to say. He approves of Zoe. Not only is she a looker, she also doesn't seem to be one to go off half-cocked, unlike her hot-head boss. If he can get these kids out of here in one piece, maybe he can teach them enough to make them useful. He decides to soften up a bit, to see if the situation can be salvaged.
"Girl makes sense, Cap'n. Look, I admit we got off to a bad start, but we can all make out like bandits if we work together. The fee for my cargo plus that little extra helping over at dock 4 can keep you flying for quite a while. So come on. Besides, this little lady's [nods at Zoe] too pretty to get all shot up. What you say?

As River injects the fluids into Simon, she says:
Time to go to sleep.
She hugs him, then goes out where Kaylee and Inara are meeting Rowan.
Nine-ball.

MAL: Says to Zoe:"I want you to go over and start a fight with that Alliance narc. Get some pushing and shoving going. We'll duck on out the back and lose these Alliance pricks in the confusion, dong ma?"
Says to Thorne:"Cai bu shi. Looks like you got yourself a deal, wo de tien ah. We'll meet up at Alliance dock 4 in, say, two hours? I want to load up 50 cases of Tequilla to use as our cover story 'case we get boarded. Oh, one final thing. I ain't your boy, and you ain't my daddy, Jack!"
[Clicks on radio mike.] Says to Serenity crew:"Get ready for some action. Zoe and I are heading back. Deal went ok. We're in business! Next stop:New Hikido!"
[Leaves bar with Zoe and heads back to Serenity at a brisk pace.]
END TURN.
OOC:Way to go with the RPing all! Very entertaining.

Kaylee's Move
Location: Slowly working her way up the ramp of Serenity.
"Oh, hey, River! How's the doc? Sure looked bad before I left. You been keepin' watch?"
Kaylee looks back at Rowan.
"Well, come on, silly! Time's a'wastin'. Oh, this is River, another one of our crew. She takes a little gettin' used to, but she's really sweet, and you'll figure her out right enough."
Kaylee drives the mule up into the cargo bay, Inara & Rowan trailing behind her. She parks the mule and starts to unload it.
"Hey, River! Wanna gimme a hand with this? Got alot a stuff ta go down ta the engine room."
End Move

Thorne's move:
Thorne watches Zoe start a small brawl. As Mal and Zoe sneak, not so inconspicuously as they believe, out the back door, he thinks:
[Lord save me from heroes. If they'd have just listened I could've gotten them out of here with no one the wiser, plus tied up half the Feds in town waiting for them to come out. Now they're gonna run into that squad out back and get the shooting match that boy's looking for. Time to go to work, I guess.]
Thorne rapidly climbs the back stairs to the second floor. As he goes, he removes the hollowpoints from his revolver and replaces them with eight new rounds, each carrying a "ZZZ" etched on the cartridge head.
Reaching the second floor balcony, Thorne takes a quick look over the rail at Mal and Zoe walking briskly towards the docks. He also sees the squad of armored Feds waiting to ambush them.
He thinks [Work, work, work. Work, work, work. Work, work, work.] as he rises again, draws his revolver, and fires eight muted shots, seemingly without aiming. The eight Fed squaddies slap at various unprotected patches of skin, and collapse to the ground...out cold.
Mal amd Zoe continue down the street, never seeing their sleeping ambushers.
Thorne goes back down stairs, where the fight has calmed down, and orders a beer. He has a couple of hours to kill before the meet at dock 4.

MAL:[As they're heading back to Serenity, Mal lets out a laugh.]
Says to Zoe:"I think I got the best of that good old boy back there! Ha! Ha! We're going to make money hand over fist on this caper, eh Zoe?"
[Looks over at Zoe with a smile and winks slyly.]
END TURN.
