"When am I supposed to feel tranquil and all fuzzy?" 13 said aloud, taking in the dusty environment of Haven. A place not too dissimilar to his native Zenith, in appearances at least.
"I'd be shocked if you ever started to get fuzzy, 13," a familiar voice poked in.
13 half-drew his sword and turned, easing when he saw the face that matched the voice.
A tall, striking woman, with lustrous, waist length black hair, stood before him, carrying an air of thinly veiled tension. The place where her left leg should have been was replaced by a cruel-looking steel prosthetic, as with her left arm, the left side of her face covered by a white opera mask. She smiled broadly at 13's surprise, one violet eye gleaming.
"Calisto? We were going to meet at Beaumonde, but I..."
"Decided to take a vacation. What, piggybacking on that little hauler too much of a strain?"
"Better than when I was flying out with you, though," 13 answered,
"And yet you still left? Hm. Anyway, I got here just a few hours before you did, on Famine. Now, we'd better settle down into that meeting."
13 shook his head. "Introductions first. Need you to meet a few people."
Calisto let out a whistling breath of frustration, allowing 13 to lead her to Shepherd Book.
"People?" Calisto said with a wry smile. "That crew of yours left in an awful hurry, didn't they?" She extended her good right hand. "Call me Calisto."
"I'm called Book." He accepted her hand graciously, causing Calisto's eyebrow to rise.
"Great, we shook hands, we know each other's names, life-long friends." Calisto turned to 13. "Down to the icky stuff, friend."

I'm here....finally.
*Pain punched in the code for his uncle's ship and waited for the signal to connect. He looked at the numbers scroll past on the screen and said to himself*
Level 6...5...come on hurry up you slow piece of gos se.
*Annabelle looked at her dad and said*
DAAAAD! No cursing.
*Pain looked at his daughter and said, smiling*
Sorry about that little one. Guess I forgot about you bein' a child and all.
*Annabelle rolled her eyes and replied*
Yeah suyre you did dad.
*Pain looked at his daughter and said*
You're just mad at me cause we had to leave that place without eatin' anythin' first ain't you?
*Annabelle turned around and folded her arms across her chest. Pain muttered to himself*
Figures.
*The vidscreen in the lift came online with Pain's uncle's face. Pain smiled and said*
Hey there uncle. I was callin' to ask which airlock you were goin' to be at seein' as there's been a change of plans.
*Pain's uncle raised a brow and said*
What kind of changes are we talkin' 'bout son?
*Pain just smiled and replied*
Oh just the kind where I'm possibly arrested for somethin'.
*Pain's uncle gave a small chuckle and said*
Ah the usual then ok. I shoud be dockin' at Airlock 7 on Level 2 in 'bout ten minutes. So what's with the girl? She mad at you are somethin'?
*Pain looked at his daughter, then back at his uncle and said*
You could say that. Level 2 you say? Well hopefully if I don't run into any trouble then I'll meet you there. Pain out.
*Pain turned off the vidscreen and turned to his daughter as the lift stopped at the selected level. He said to her*
Come on sweety we have to go now.
*Annabelle sighed and let her dad take her hand as they stepped out of the lift.*
Meanwhile on Level 8 of Refueling Station 15
*Womack walked onto the promenade followed by his two goons. They scanned the scene, saw the Spacer's Bar & Grill and walked over to it. Womack said to the one called Skunk*
I want you to call this station's security base and have them put a landlock on all ships that're currently docked or will be docking. If this Pain is here then we don't want him to leave.
*Skunk nodded as Womack and the other Fed walked into the Spacer's Bar & Grill and went to work contacting the station's security base.*

"uh, Mr Reynolds," Choo called as Mal tried to enter his bunk.
"What?" MAl asked disgruntled. Last few weeks had been very long.
"Just wondering if it would be alright for me to stay on Boro's while you go off and do your crime thing. My coin is awfully low, and seeing that its the closet to the core we've been..."
"Everyone has a problem with the crime," Mal stated sarcastically, rolling his eyes. "Sure thing, we'll wave you once were back in the neighbourhood. Dong-ma?"
"Yes sir, and thank you Captain," CHoo said, heading off to the passenger dorms.
Looking around for anymore intruptions, Mal climbed into his bunk and locked the door. Been a long couple of weeks...

Where's everyone else? Is it just me and 13 here?
Refueling Station 15
*Womack and the other Fed walked out of the Spacer's Bar & Grill. Womack spotted Skunk and said*
Looks like Pain was here and by the looks of those two men inside, he ran away like a little girl.
*The three of them shared a laugh, then Womack said to Skunk*
So what's the situation with the landlocks? Are they in place yet?
*Skunk replied*
Yep there'll all in place. Last one was activated two minutes ago.
*There was a beep coming from the portable device that Skunk was carrying. He looked at it, then said smiling*
Looks like the ship at Airlock 7 is trying to undock and to add a hop in your step sir, the security feeds just saw Pain heading for that same ship.
*Womack smiled at his two goons and said*
Shiny! Let's go pay Pain a much needed visit.
*The three Feds then entered the nearest lift and headed down to Level 2.*
