Kaylee's Move
Location: Engine Room
Kaylee vaguely waves in the direction of the captain as he tells her to lock the door.
"We're ready to go, whenever you say..."
She locks the door behind the trio, then crawls into her hammock, her mind still on Simon.
End Move

"I love my Captain."

Character locations:
Mal, Thorne, Brink = just left engine room.
Kaylee = engine room
Simon, Book, Damon = infirmery
Inara, River = just left infirmery
Zoe, Wash = looking for Niska on the bridge
Rowan, Jayne = Cargo bay
Niska = ?
Damon's turn:
Damon lies on a bed in the infirmery, wondering if it is safe to fall asleep. He watches as people begin to leave. Finally, when all but the doctor, preacher and himself have left, the preacher addresses the doctor.
"It's time you told me more about what you were doing with that contraption you hooked up between you and Niska."
Damon absently adjusts a handcuff on his wrist and tries to remember where he had heard that name before...
I'm not broken, in my dream I win...

Inara's turn
SIMON
Calmly without turninghis head
"Inara, there is no need for that"
Inara's face takes on a look of slight panic. Her fingers tighten their hold on the soft fabric of Simon's shirt. Reaching slowly to her side, she lays the syringe on the countertop. Turning her attention to Book:
Book to Inara:
"Take care of River for a moment, Inara."
Inara takes River's hand and leads her into the common room. She gently seats River on the low couch, and snugs up beside her.
It'll all be alright, qin ài de*....we'll just sit here and watch over your brother, won't we? Inara takes River's hands in her own.
Inara tucks a strand of hair behind River's ear. Now...let's make it a game! We'll see who can do the best job watcing over your dà ge*...you tell me if you see ANYthing strange happening, ok?
River nods solemnly, then graces Inara with a huge smile.
Sitting back a moment, Inara settles into the softness of the couch and closes her eyes a moment.
End Inara's turn
qin ài de= dear, darling
dà ge= big brother (formal)
ooc--I'm in the mood for some Inara/Mal when you are, Geezer.

FLASHBACK LOCATION-INFIRMARY
Quote:NISKA tries to move but is still mostly paralyzed as ...
SIMON finishes an injection in NISKA's neck when the intercom clicks on...
BOOK
over the intercom to SIMON
"Doctor, to the cargo bay, right away. There's a hurt man down there!"
Quote:...sealing NISKA back into darkness. NISKA waits for the 'click' of the locks being engaged, but it doesn't happen, instead - NISKA hears this, almost in his OWN voice, just as he passes out again...
...SIMON puts away the tools he was using and closes the cryobox
Quote:NISKA awakes after what seemed hours of darkness only to hear a click of the door lock. NISKA realizes he was only out for seconds. He is in an uncomfortable fetal postion. Slowly he tries to move.
SIMON
*Ai-ya! Nee ta ma duh. Tyen-shia suo-yo duh run doh gai si!!!
{*from the Chinese = "Damn! F*** everyone in the universe to death"}
Success! Gingerly and slowly NISKA streches and then pushes up so very slowly on the lid. It lifts and the expected stop of the lid being locked down does not come.
A sliver of actinic light between the lid and box stabs pain like sharp needles into NISKAs unprotected eyes. After a moment of visual adjustment, NISKA listens and hears nothing in the room. NISKA sits up with an uncharacteristic grunt and heaves the lid off of himself.
Wincing at the clatter of the lid falling, NISKA glances quickly at the door. He then notices that everything is VERY blurry. NISKA pats his left breast coat pocket and finds his glasses case still there. With growing wonder, he removes the case and finds his glasses inside - cleaned and spotless, the very way he normally kept them. But ... he had no time to clean and polish them after ...
...NISKA sneers at the memory of being captured by this upstart Renyolds and his ragamuffin crew.
At this thought, NISKA seems to hear an indistinct voice, as if from far down a well. NISKA shakes his head to clear it. He then stands and moves over to the INFIRMARY DOOR. Ah, lucky for NISKA, the door can be unlocked from the inside.
He listens at the door and hears nothing. Unlocking the door softly, he cracks it the barest millimeter.
Through the small breach between the door and sill, NISKA watches an obvious COMPANION {INARA} pass by and then he sees her and hears/smells wafting within a sudden gust of air from the cargo bay - this:
Quote:As the COMPANION {INARA} moves off, another UNKNOWN FEMALE {ROWAN} passes the Infirmary heading the same direction.
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.
After she passes, NISKA dares to open the door a fraction further. He hears that the COMPANION {INARA} is climbing her way out of the Dorm area and into the cargo bay.
For several minutes NISKA listens to the commotion coming from the CARGO BAY.
Then he fully slides the INFIRMARY door quietly open. He slowly leans out, seeing no-one he closes his eyes and listens and breathes deep through his nose.
NISKA barely hears the sounds, yet fully senses the natural pheromones an UNSEEN FEMALE {ROWAN} nearby.
NISKA exits and slides the INFIRMARY door softly closed and moves slowly towards the COMMON AREA STAIRS. The pungent odor of tequila finally & fully wafts through,

Intermission Commercial:
The camera pans around the galley inside Serenity. We see Jayne enter, famous hat and all, and head to the refrigerator. Jayne opens the door and the camera pulls in tight for a shot of the shelves, lined with bottles of Blue Sun Beer.
Jayne grabs a beer, pops the top in his teeth, spits the cap across the kitchen and turns to the camera as he heads to the table. Jayne sets down Vera and says...
"Ya know, after a long hard day of Heroics like outrunnin the alliance, or shootin' it out with some back water goon, I like ta take me a little time ta enjoy the better things in life. Thats why I grab a bottle a ice cold Blue Sun Beer, it quenches a man-sized, powerful thirst."
Jayne props his leg up on the chair and start to swig the beer. After a big swallow, Jayne spits the beer out all over the table.
"Gorramit! Thats the worst tastin' swill I ever done had. Tastes like rancid cat piss. Where the ruttin hell is that director, I got me some contract negotiations ta attend to."
Jayne grabs Vera off the table and heads off camera. You hear muffled shouting along the lines of 'No, please it wasn't my..." Followed by several loud popping noises. Jayne heads back on camera, grabs the Blue Sun Beer Girl, turns to the camera and says...
"Anyone needs me we'll be in my bunk..." Jayne talks to the girl as they leave muttering "Gonna take me a week ta git that taste outta my mouth. Tastes like a squirle done up and died under my tounge...."
Jingle ensues...
Blue Sun Beer
It's not the best,
But if you don't drink it,
Your under arrest.
"Hey git your gorram hand offa' me."
"Breach of what, I ain't carin' what the ruttin hell you say, I ain't tellin' nobody ta drink that fermented camel dung!"
"Wait how much? Well I'll be damned, must just been that one bottle, this stuff is ...uuuuuuugggggghhhhhh.... ummmm yummy yeah thats it just downright yummy...."
The Hero of Canton, the man they call... Meeeeee!
