And while that is going on Book can start reading the memory stick in the Infirmary computer ... You may want to talk to Raven on just WHAT exactly he has on the memory stick.

Damon's turn:
Location:infirmery

Damon sees the preacher reach for him and steps back against the med bed wearily. His body tense and mucsles coiled, he watches as the man sets his hand on Damon's shoulder.
"We'll get you fixed up right. Why don't you lie back down?"
Damon studies the man in front of him but sees nothing but concern on his face. He slowly relaxes and shrugs the stranger's hand off of his shoulder as he turns toward the empty bed.

I'm not broken, in my dream I win...

Thorne's/Mal's move:

ZOE: "Sir, I suggest we go check through the passenger dorm and the infirmary before we head to the cargo bay. More likely than not that he holed up there, hoping to hurt us some. And the girl's name is ROWAN."

[THORNE smiles as he hears ZOE suggest to the captain exactly what he had just told her they were already planning to do. He thinks: "That girl doesn't take orders, or even suggestions, from anyone but her captain. Hardly heard me at all. She and her husband must have an interesting realtionship."

MAL: "Naw, we got enough to search the quarters an' sickbay. [indicates THORNE and SLIGHT] I want everyone in the hold ma-shong so we can talk...ROWAN too. What kinda' whoo dahn name's ROWAN, anyhow?"

[MAL gestures at SLIGHT to get down the aft stair.]

EOM

Whoo dahn: Stupid

Ma-Shong: On the double

Mal/Thorne's move:

[The three enter the common area from the stair. RIVER is seated on the couch, staring intently at the infirmary door, through which INARA’s back can be seen. SLIGHT enters ROWAN’s quarters. MAL and THORNE hang back to give him room to move around. THORNE decides this is a good time to get some more Information about INARA.]

THORNE: “Captain, how long has the Companion been with you? It’s really a coup for a small ship like yours to have her on board.”

MAL: “Seems like forever, sometimes. And she ain’t with me! Just a payin’ passenger. She’s off-limits to the crew, anyway.”

[THORNE is surprised by MAL’s vehemence. He can feel the inner conflict, and even sees SLIGHT’s slight turn of the head as he senses it too. Nevertheless, he presses on with his questions.}

THORNE: “I hope that prohibition doesn’t apply to passengers as well. I’ve been out on the Rim for quite a while, and would enjoy spending some time in refined company. Maybe on the jump to New Hokkaido.“

MAL: “Old man, I don’t care who she does her whorin’ with, as long as it don’t affect the crew’s discipline. Now Bi zui and check your quarters!”

[“Now, this is interesting.” THORNE thinks as he moves around MAL to his room. “Definitely more going on here than shows on the surface.”]

EOM

Bi zui: Shut up!

Slight turns to Thorne, and starts to follow him to his quarters. Not much else to do around here.
"So, why'd you leave the Academy?" Slight begins to feel a bit relieved at meeting someone who at least understands. "I mean, you weren't the greatest agent there, but you had potential, Rosie. Seemed like you were going to stay there forever. Ever since my father left Davis in charge, things became actually lax around the Academy Wasn't much point to keeping on without River, so we actually were given lives. Why did you drop?"
Slight takes another pull off the beer. Gotta respect a man who likes bad alcohol.

Everyone Dies. Someone's carrying a bullet for you, doesn't even know it. The trick is, to die of old age before he finds you.

Thorne's move:

SLIGHT:"So, why'd you leave the Academy? I mean, you weren't the greatest agent there, but you had potential, Rosie. Seemed like you were going to stay there forever. Ever since my father left Davis in charge, things became actually lax around the Academy Wasn't much point to keeping on without River, so we actually were given lives. Why did you drop?"

[THORNE thinks for a moment, and replys]

THORNE: "I never had any problem with the project when it was military, and everyone a volunteer. A soldier's life is forfeit anyway. Then they started bringing the spys and assassins in. I thought it was dirty business. [shrugs ] At least it was their choice. By your age I assume even you had some say in your treatment. But when they started that damn school, just so they could pick the brightest kids and force them into the program...I knew I couldn't take the system down, and I knew I couldn't stay, so I left.

Most of my original comrades were gone by then; dead or in hospital. I wasn't leaving anything behind I'd miss. Just moved back out to the Rim and started a new life. My training and improvements made it easy. Not hard to wheel and deal when you know if the other guy's lying. The combat skills have come in handy a couple of times too.

And how about you? What are you planning, now that you have your life back, with advantages?

Slights move:
And how about you? What are you planning, now that you have your life back, with advantages?
Slight shrugs, at first unsure of how to respond. "Well, as you know, my father, Harold Helsing, started the Blue Sun. The corporation wasn't his idea, that was Second Power Davis' brilliant idea. All the psychics, all of the physical training, that was all my fathers doing. As for the improvement program, no I did not have a choice. I was one of my fathers 'true children.'" Thorne can hear and feel the bitterness in Slight.

"Technically I wasn't his blood. But he considered me and the Tam girl to be his true children. And Tam was born naturally. I was pulled out of a damn test tube. From the day one I could do things, see things on the slant. Maybe that's why I saw the danger my father was to the human race. Or maybe that's why I see him as a father at all. Way I look at it, though, I've got a lot to make up for. This girl's just one of over a hundred on that data stick. I suppose once I'm done on this ship, I'll just shuffle of, and move elsewhere."
