Jazaf spins his chair around and tries to reprimand Soul and Serenity."Now see here you doubting Thomases...yeah. As Navigator I don't see any reason why I can't Pilot this thing. Besides now that we're in the asteroid field Auto pilot wouldn't do any good."
The tension hangs thick in the air.
Jazaf sighs and spins back to face the consoles.
"Fine, I'll get us out of the asteroid field then put us on Auto. I'll let you know if anything goes wrong."
Lights flash and a few minor sirens sound off.
"What's that?" Jazaf panics
"Something went wrong."
"Well, crud."

"Auugggh!!!"
A diminuitive man dashes through the common area screaming at the top of his little lungs.
Safe and Cuddles pause in their struggle for the red ribbon and watch the stowaway pass by with Bubbles following close behind shouting 'Intruder Alert!' Then resume the struggle.

Bubbles snags the little man by the collar of his shirt.
"Who are you and Purpose?"
"I'm Balaran and I'm a......traveling Shepard...?"
"I'm the Shepard, I had dibs!Why doesn't anyone think I can do it!" Needy yells in frustration.
"uhhh.... I'm a Pilot! I even have the papers!" He fumbles around in his pockets checking a large assortment of papers. "Ah Ha! Here it is!"
He reveals a certificate identifying him as a 'Bonafide Pilot'.
"Heard you guys needed one so I decided to lend a helping hand...believe me?"

"Not so much." says Serenity, wandering into the hallway where Bubbles is interegating this stranger.
"So, why don't you tell us the truth before I let Bubbles here force it out of you. She may look cute, but she's programmed to do...terrible things."
She turns to Bubbles and winks.

The little man gulps nervously.
"Can I go to the little man's room?...I think I left something in there?"
"Oh?"
"a change of pants...."
"oh...."

"Tell us what we want to know and then we'll decide where and what you can do."
Serenity fingers her mule's leg in a non-chalant and very threatening manner.

Already fearing for his life, Balaran proceeds to spill his guts.
"Ok, I'll tell you everything. At age eight I broke a lamp in my house and blamed it on the dog, so we ate him. At age twelve I put fake vomit in the soup of my School's Cafeteria and about twenty-four kids threw up. At Age 15..."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa...That's not what I meant." Serenity interupts, "I don't want to hear about your disturbing childhood."
"I kinda do" Jazaf chips in, "It sounds kind entertaining."
"Are we out of the Asteroid belt?" Soul asks
The ship rocks from the impact of an asteroid striking the starboard side.
"No.." Jazaf responds sheepishly.
"Then get back on the Bridge!"

Doctor Me wanders in and spots the newcomer.
"Oh, here is the reason for the intruder alarm! Well, that's a relief. I thought it might be another Kimmel clone." He reaches up to flip a switch to deactivate the alarm.
"And I'm sorry, Serenity," he adds helpfully, "but Bubbles is programmed with the Three Laws of Robotics. That makes her incapable of harming a human." He begins to leave, but pauses. "Unless, Serenity, you have tried to program her to become a nun again. That is what caused her to run amok the first time!"
He squints as he quickly evaluates Bubbles for any sign of a robe or habit or odd winged hat thing, then shrugs and moves on his way. As in the recent Buffy manifestation, he considers this new Balaran person to be a particularly persistant hallucination.

Serenity grimaces.
"Thanks Doc!" she says, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Oh well, he's right. Bubbles can't hurt you. But, there's nothing saying I can't."
And she pulls out her gun at points it at the newcomer's head.
"Now, tell me why I should let you live."

Over his shoulder, Doctor Me calls, "You are welcome, Serenity! Glad to be of assistance!"
Doctor Me makes his way to the bridge and hops into the pilot seat. He reaches up to flip three switches above the console.
"As it happens, I am a qualified pilot, having gradutated from the highly acclaimed Han Solo Correspondence Course of Flying."
He takes the controls and greatly increases the ship's velocity, weaving Destiny in and out and among the numerous asteroids, moving at an alarming rate and scraping paint off the hull once or twice.
Once out of the asteroid belt, Doctor Me reduces speed and wipes some beads of sweat from his forehead. "Whew! Glad we're out of THAT! It could have been dangerous!"
He squints, gazing out of the forward window.
"Uh, where were we going, again?"
