Book's Move
Location: Galley
Book, after detouring to the catwalk to scope things out, enters the galley a little too late to save all of his fine preparations that he had left out, from Jayne's hungry hands.
Book thinks to himself.
"The man is an eating machine."
He shakes his head and lets out an inaudible sigh.
Book to Jayne.
"I think there's fresh liquor in the cargo bay."
Kaylee enters the galley with an enormous smile on her shiny cheeks.
Book to Kaylee
"Kaylee, how's everything in the engine room? Come sit at the table."
Book, like a magician, turns and conjures a huge tray of food from a refrigerated cubby hole that Jayne had not seen. He takes it to the table and gathers dishes.

LOCATION-CARGO BAY
Just after the excitin' heroics!
From the entraance to the Infirmary/Dorms hatch, SIMON see the injured man {DAMON} standing near the truck in the bay and a violent tremblor runs through his body.
He shakes his head in confused pain as if to clear it, then looks again.
The visible mutiple gunshot traumas pump blood out at an amazing rate, soaking the man's {DAMON}pants.
SIMON starts as if shocked by high voltage and dashes over to the man {DAMON}. SIMON begins triage while ignoring the yelling and commotion around him. The man {DAMON} says something, but SIMONs world has been narrowed to one thought/action: "Save this man's life", nothing else matters to him.
After ascertaining the damage and finding only 3 bullets still lodged, one each, in the thigh, hip and peritoneum SIMON concludes the bullets have not injured any thing greiviously. The extrraction of them can wait a few minutes.
So he quickly injects a powerful painkiller and muscle relaxer to slow the the man's {DAMON} heart down, calm him {DAMON} further and ease the blood flow.
He then cuts the pants away then cleans the cloth out of the wounds with care, but urgent speed.
SIMON then digs into his kit and applies the coagulant and antibacterial agents and finishes dressing the tramuas in his usual competent and efficacious manner.

Damon's turn:
Damon keeps his dark eyes fixed on the captain as he turns to the truck driver and start up a conversation.
"Tzao gao," he says under his breath, barely noticing the prick of an injection. He doesn't know whether the man (Mal) was ignoring him on purpose or just easily sidetracked, but either way, it still left him wondering whether he was a passenger, prisoner or burden.
He looks down as the doctor finishes cutting off his pant leg and mumbles another curse. Now he has to buy another pair of pants.
He listens with mild curiousity to the conversation between the captain and the truck driver, Thorne and takes a moment to study an older man smiling on the catwalk. He can feel his body begin to calm down and relishes in taking a breath without worrying about the agony of his broken ribs.
"Zoe, tell Wash to find somewhere in the wild to park us, an' get the crew together in the mess hall." the captain says, "We're gonna find out what kind of fei hua our new passengers have to tell us. Doc, once that hwoon dahn can move, get him and his boy friend there too."
Damon glares up at the captain as he climbs the iron stairs, resisting the urge to shout something back that would get him thrown out the air lock. If there's going to be another fight, he should at try to get feeling better first, not that he was particularly looking forward to one.
He looks back down at the doctor. "How much longer?"

Kaylee's Move
Location: Galley
Kaylee smiles at Book as he motions her to the table. From some unknown little nook, Book produces a platter loaded with food.
"Mmmm, Sheperd, ya musta read my mind...I'm so hungry I could eat Alliance rations."
She smiles as she gets down to the serious business of eating.

Inara's turn
Inara quietly walks back through the common area. Pausing in the common area, with a straight line of sight into the cargo bay, she sees quite a few members of the crew and a few people she doesn't recognize. The smell of alcohol is very strong, and she hopes its not coming from any of the assembled.
Curious, she decides to watch from above. Inara climbs the stairs onto the catwalk overlooking the cargo bay and watches the scene unfold.

OOC: Yikes Ciara! Take care of yourself, girl! 
Wash's Move
MAL tells him to get the ship in the air and leaves to check out the ruckus below. Figuring they must be gonna head for Serenity Valley, WASH gives the coordinates to docking control and begins take-off procedures.
End Move.
Zoe's Move
(with bits of WASH's interweaving move mixed in)
Keeping her face emotionless, she listens with growing anger to THORNE's tirade.
THORNE: "Hell, girlie, my end o' the job went just fine, even if I did have to do it all by my lonesome, after y'all never showed up. Smooth as silk right 'til I got here and ended up in the middle of a Purple-belly shootin' gallery. And them ain't my boys. I don't know either of 'em from Adam's off ox. And yep, we got another stop, in Serenity Valley, but there ain't gonna be any Feds there. Probably need to lose this truck, too, after we get the goodies out of it."
ZOE responds, keeping her voice neutral.
"I'll have to have the ship's clocks checked, looked to me like we still had a half hour before rendezvous when you drove up that ramp. But, since you've already done the job, that's just one less thing to be done 'fore we head off-planet."
She turns as MAL arrives in the cargo bay, taking her position slightly behind him and to the left, watching the conversation between him, THORNE, and the TWO UNIDENTIFIED MEN (Damon and Slight).
After helping MAL open the crates and discuss their contents with THORNE, MAL orders ZOE to have WASH set course for a lonely piece of land and get everyone assembled in the galley. She turns and heads toward the bridge.
WASH turns as she enters the bridge, eyes lighting up like they always do when he sees her.
WASH: "So, hon, we got a destination? I mean, we could hover hear for a spell, but I think the Alliance might find that mighty strange behavior."
ZOE: "Yep. Find a quiet piece o' nowhere to set down. Cap'n wants to get everyone together in the galley to have a little chat with all our new arrivals."
As WASH resets the course controls and send Serenity out to the boondocks, ZOE presses the ship-wide intercom.
ZOE: "This is ZOE. We need all personnel - and I do mean all - to the galley immediately."
She pats WASH's shoulder before turning to the door.
ZOE: "Come join us once we're down."
WASH: "Right behind ya, baby."
ZOE heads to the galley, finding BOOK, JAYNE, and KAYLEE there when she arrives. She pours herself a cup of tea, and takes her place at the table.
End Move.

Book's Move
Location: Galley
Book looks up from the semi-tasty protein concoction he is about to put into his mouth as Zoe's voice comes over the intercom
"This is ZOE. We need all personnel - and I do mean all - to the galley immediately."
Book looks merrily to Jayne and Kaylee.
Book says to both
"Well, that was easy."

Damon's turn:
Before the doctor has time to answer, a woman's voice comes over the com ordering everyone to the galley. Damon looks up and notices a fancy and surprisingly attractive woman standing on the catwalk. How many women do they have on this boat?
He decides that he isn't going to miss the conversation in the galley for anything. The rest of his injuries can wait. He needs to find out where he is before he ends up in a holding cell... or out an air lock.
Brushing past the doctor, he picks up his bag from the floor and begins the slow task of climbing the stairs.

After ...
DAMON
Looks at Simon
"How much longer?"
SIMON
after putting tools away
"I have to remove those bullets RIGHT now. The one in your peritoneum is near a major artery of your liver. I fear your ribs are not only broken but one maybe shattered. I won't know until I view a scan of your torso."
SIMON retrieves a roll of wide elastic and begins to wrap DAMONs ribs as...
ZOE
Over Intercom
"This is Zoe. We need all personnel - and I do mean all - to the galley immediately"

Man I was about to post gobble-d-gook, so tired I was mispellin' words ta port and starboard... including THAT bloody sentance.

Damon's turn:
Location: cargo bay
Damon stops at the foot of the stairs when he hears about the bullet.
"Shit, juh jun shr guh kwai-luh duh jin-jun... How long will that take? I have some talking to do with your charming captain."
