Book's Move
Location: Simon's Room
Book turns to Rowan who has just offered her help. He stands up.
Book to Rowan
"I don't think there's anything to help. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with him. Nothing that I can fix anyway."
Book moves away from the crowd, letting Simon have some air.
"He just needs some time, I think."

LOCATION-SIMONs ROOM
during the rest of the crews entrance and right after BOOKs last statement
SIMON looks up at RIVER as she sits down next to him ... continues to stare at her HARD. Even through INARA & KAYLEE's questions and through BOOKs exam and a FEMALE {ROWAN} unfamilier, yet not, asking to help. He looks up from RIVER and seems to focus on BOOK after BOOK stands.
BOOK
"He just needs some time, I think."
SIMON
Shakes head in negation, and finds that was a bad idea - holds his lowered head in both hands
"No time ... River ... no lies ... so sorry ... n't mean to kill ... bad time to not ... Can't focus ... need time ... NO ... Niska is ..."
Pain wracks Simon and his head is violently shaken from his hands. Simon clenches his teeth and grimices with his eyes tightly shut. The tremor only last a split second, but feels eternal. Simon lowers his hands and encircles River in his arms, his demenor calming.
"No,"
takes shaky breath
"I used a portable Encephlo-reader ... field med tech equip ... Ariel ... feedback ... Shepard,our .. witches brew ...TOO effective ... no flow control ... all at once ... hard to sort out ... danger ... will ... robb ...
Somewhat pained growl slips past SIMONs lips
"...ummm , mean 'job' is ... is ... is ..."
Simon straightens and sees to gain even more control and exhales in a burst of a sigh. SIMON starre into MALs eyes with an intensity that rivals, if not surpasses the times when RIVER has been in danger.
"Captain ... we need to move as fast as we can and leave here. We've been sold out."

Damon's turn:
Location: behind crates next to Helsing, fighting Feds
"Ai ya, wo mun wan leh..."
Damon fires another shot at the approaching Feds. They are getting closer and his new comrade seems to be taking his time with... whatever he's doing.
Gun shots and energy blasts fill the air with a deafening noise. A bullet grazes Damon's right arm and shatters the window behind him. Too close, they'll be on them in less than two minutes.
He fires three shots, taking down two Feds, and starts looking around.
"Come on, we gotta bail!" He hands Helsing the Fed weapon he picked up before. "Cover me, we'll loose 'em at the docks!"
Helsing fires at the Feds as Damon picks up his bag.
Keeping his head down, Damon pushes himself onto both feet. He lets out a pained groan and falls against the wall behind him, holding and arm across his middle. He takes a step toward the docks and inhales sharply as his leg reminds him that it was also injured.
"Tzao gao," he curses through clenched teeth. Helsing says something, but Damon ignores him. He draws a slow, careful breath and takes off half limping, half running toward the dock.
Everyone dies alone...

While Simon is stuttering, River is just shhsing him (Like when child is crying, and a mother is trying to calm down the child).
The voice...it's trying to get out.

OOC: Wow, sorry I've been gone so long.
Has anything happened with NISKA that I missed? What's going on?

Well, here I am.

Brinks turn:
Brink stares at the approaching Feds. He sighs:
"Thought this was over."
He takes the weapon, and follows behind Damon. He can only think to himself, "Hope this is over soon, I still need to find her."
I do the job, (click) and then I get paid.

Hey Browncoat! Good to see you back!
check here for a transcript of ONLY the scenes in the Infirmary...
http://fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=17&t=3409
Then you can goto, ACT 5, I think and catch up from there.
Man ... yer (Niska) 'boxed' in River's old cyro-case in the infirmary.
You got AIM? IM me (CapnRahn) or email me (CapnRahn@aol.com) ... we need to talk about Niska and a character arc I am doing with Simon - they are related!

Jayn's turn:
Jayne grabs Vera and a few back up pieces and heads to the cargo hatch. The sound of gunfire echos through the mounds of stacked crates out in the landing area. Jayne pokes his head out and sees the firefight errupting between a group of Feds and two men behind some crates. He cant make the men out real well but he doesn't recognize them at all. Seeing the trouble they are in, Jayne spits on the ground and says...
"Feds! Ain't got no love for the gorram Feds but ain't no profit in gettin' tangled up in that there mess. Might as well go git some lunch"
Jayne turns, rubbing his belly and thinking of something good to eat then, figures he should go check out the screaming from the infirmary. He heads back through the cargo bay, seriously considering just going to his bunk for a nap, but decides to check out the action. Arriving in the infirmary, he sees a bunch of the crew gathered with Simon on the floor all disheveled and tangled in his sheets.
"Aww, whats wrong, the dandy have a nightmare and fall out of bed. Ain't nothin' goin' on here either. Man i thought this was gonna be a interestin' day too..."
Jayne starts to leave and abruptly turns to say...
"Oh yeah, an' in case any o you git done cryin' over Doc's bedtime boo-boo, ya might be interested in knowin' theres a firefight out on the docks with about 5 Feds..."
"I'll be in the mess gettin' some food if ya need me."
Also... I can kill you with my brain...

Damon's Turn:
Location: dock 4
Damon looks up as he turns the corner at a Firefly parked not a hundred feet away. There appears to be no one in sight. At least its not Alliance, he thinks and keeps running toward the next landing area, wondering how much longer he's going to have to keep this up.
"Where's this ship of yours?" he calls back to Helsing.
OOC: is it Helsing? or Brink?
Everyone dies alone...

Book's Move
Location: Hallway outside passenger rooms
After Simon makes his cryptic statement about being sold out and Jayne tells everyone there's a gunfight happening right outside, Book starts to think that indeed they've got to get off this rock as soon as possible.
As Book heads to the aft stairs.
(Aside to the Captain and Zoe)
"I don't think there's time to wait for the 50 cases of tequila. We can use passengers as our cover. We need to get Wash back to the ship and get off this planet."
Book to everyone in the area
"I'm going to the bridge."
Book hears the rush of movement behind him as everyone springs into action.

Inara: Who's winning?
Simon: I can't really tell, they don't seem to be playing by any civilized rules that I know.
