OoC: still playing, just trying to work out how Nico fits into the storyline. Until I come up with a decent post, consider Nico to be a spare set of hands to do the chores, or lug loot, or whatever.

From blowing open locked fridges, to destroying Alliance gun emplacements, it's all fun for me.

What about feet?
Jayne grumbled and said as he made his way up the stairs and headed for his bunk*
Gorram cat's gonna pay if it's the last thing it does.
*As Jayne made his way through the galley Guy looked up from cleaning his guns and said to JR*
What's with him?
*JR watched as Jayne went into Pain's bunk instead of his own and replied*
Don't rightly know Guy. Jayne's always pissed 'bout somethin'.
*After a few moments Jayne exited Pain's bunk and walked into the galley holding a cigar in one hand with two more sticking halfway out of his pants. Guy looked at Jayne and said*
Are you taking cigars from Pain's bunk again Jayne?
*Jayne casually lit the one in his mouth and said*
Yeah so?
*Guy replied*
Um I don't think Pain would like that very much.
*Jayne blew out a puff of smoke and said*
Yeah well Pain ain't here now is he?
*Just then Fly emerged from the stairway in the front hall walked up behind Jayne and said*
No but I am and I don't take to kindly to folks touchin' Pain's stuff when he ain't here. That includes you Jayne.
*Before Jayne could reply, Fly spun with amazing reflexes and spin kicked Jayne's feet from out underneath him. This caught Jayne off guard and made him hit the ground with a loud thud, making the lit cigar fly from his mouth and land on his chest. Stepping over Jayne and placing a foot on his neck, Fly beent over, took the cigar off of his chest as well as the ones stuck between his pants and said grinning*
I'll be takin' these if you don't mind.
*Fly stuck the lit cigar in her mouth and the other two in her shirt and walked away. Meanwhile Guy and JR looked at Jayne. JR was the one to say*
Fly kickin' Jayne's pigu was bound to happen sooner or later.

"The Reavers are getting smarter, 13. Generally, the y aren't too much trouble, if I've got a squad handy. But now...they ambushing us, setting traps...they've even got combat formation. Organized, 13.
"There's more of them, too. They're farther out then they ever have been, and there's rumors flying around about an actual attack."
Unfurling a starmap from her pocket, Calisto pointed out several key positions.
"See right here, by the Burnham quadrant? That's where they seem to congregate, clumping up like a ball of snakes. Now, few years back, they pretty much stayed in a clump. But now...they're out and about, most of them staying out way past mealtime."
She pocketed the map, setting her living eye at 13 with a wild, feverish intensity.
"I've had my best navigator's looking over this for months. We're putting an attack on the Inner Border at about three months, give or take, and with the Alliance being packed in the Core, there's barely any heavy defense. I've been doing what I can, protecting smaller settlements, but what's coming I cannot stop."

FLY!!!!!!!!
We'll keep you alive and flyin' as long as you want, darlin!
Serenity glides into Beaumonde's spaceport, Wash letting go of the controls as Port Authority locks on and guides her to a landing pad.
"We're down, people." Wash calls over the shipwide.
Mal takes over, "All right, I want everyone in the cargo bay in ten. We've got a lot to do, and short time to do it in."
In the cargo bay, Mal checks his gun as he waits for the others. Should be a simple job coming up, something they could grab onto and make a little money to keep them flying. Still, no need to get careless, and it was their first time dealing with the Twin Wonders of the Underground.
"I'm not the problem." A whisper at his side, and he looks down to see River, watching his hands as they load his weapon, "You always want to look the other way. Sometimes, the way looks back at you."
"Uh." Mal shakes his head slightly, "Sure thing, little bit."
"River?" Simon appears, as always, wherever River is.
"Keep an eye on her, Doc." Mal suggests as he turns away, but there was something about what she said that made sense. It was startin to scare him that was happening more and more often.
Turning, he addressed the assembled. "You've all got stuff you want to get done. Zoe, Jayne, you're with me. Anyone else wants to come, remember, we're playing this low-key. Fanty and Mingo have a reputation. We do right by them, they'll do right by us."
"Kaylee? You and Wolf get parts, Wash fuel us up. We're gonna need supplies for the run."
"Everyone stay alert, stay in touch, and keep your heads up. Who's comin with me? Who's got..." He stops as Fly comes down the stairs, "Thought you was leavin'?"
She shrugs, a half-smile around Pain's cigar, "Thought you could use a hand."

Hey Fly, good to see ya! 
don't forget i said i was going off ship for a while. Got business to do, mechandise to sell, other such stuff. But if no one minds me posting other stuff
Lugging the huge, bulging bag over his shoulders Choo gave everyone a wave. "Don't forget to wave me when your in the area. Hopefully i can make a bit of dosh while i'm gone." Choo said patting his huge bag of trinkets and atrifacts (all perfectly legal Mr Federal Officer 
)
"Goodbye Santa Claus," River called out as Simon dragged her back to the dorms.
Ignoring the crazy child as the others headed down the ramp Mal nodded "Sure thing, and keep out of trouble. I want my overdue passenger fees when i get back. Don;t wanna be paying for a funeral."
With that the small groups disspersed into all different directions.
"Wouldn't worry about that," Choo said to himself, pulling out a portable cortex connection from his pocket "Everything like thats been sorted out."
Clicking the on button he made sure he was out of ear shot and on the secure line. Lighting a cigar he picked up the small machine once it had a connection
"Evening, hope i'm not interupting....no, we all know that feeling...besides everythings going okay...yep she's safe, although theres a couple of things i need you to look into...yes i know, i know, favours and all, its just some old buddies i need you to keep an eye on as well. I'll send you the details once i'm in a safer place...Cheers. Bye bye."
sighing off Choo took a large lung full of city air before heading off into the crowd...

Can't bump this, doo-doo-doo-doo...
13 swallowed, lengthily considering this hefty amount of information he'd just recieved. Finally he spoke.
"And what? You expect me to do something about it? Ride in and smite the Reavers, or what? If you can't stop them, I definitely can't."
Calisto shook her head. "I know. I'm just updating the news, pal. The Alliance is still hard after you, and that passenger of yours. That ship seems to be just full of fugees, huh?" She spoke in the tones of someone attempting to say what couldn't be said.
"Be on the look-out, 13. I'll be here until tomorrow, so I can give you a ride to that Firefly, if you want. Isn't too out of the way for me."
13 nodded. He'd decline, of course. Still had things to take care of here.
