all fine points --
but without task rotation... maybe they take people on to do crew work for very short periods... also if journeys take a long time - then fatigue is an issue again - ala submarine crews and shuttle astronauts...
but perhaps not so immediate an issue!:) ho ho.

For a while, a quiet night on board Serenity, but then...

From Kaylees bunk:
(A buzzing sound eminates from a heavily modified "device")
Kaylee: Ahhhhh!!!! Oooohhhh!!! Yes!! Yes!! YES!!!

Mal (Shouting from his bunk):
Kaylee! You mind keeping that down?!

Kaylee (embarrassed):
Ummm... uhhh... sorry cap'n!

Jayne yells from his bunk:
Hell, Mal!!!

This is stated in the Pilot: Wash thinks they need a few days leave- sort of implied in many episodes-just being aboard a ship would get boring after a while, action or not- everybody would need a walk on real dirt once in a while.

Thanks, SS2 & MS!! again.

Also, being on the ship has got to be boring, at least for long stretches of time. The only book I've ever seen is Book's bible, and they don't even have computers or anything. So I think, unless they spend all their time playing hoopball, they'd need more entertainment devices then they have; or that we've seen. But, I am one of those people who practically needs a library in order to have almost enough books to read (you can never have enough books), so my opinion is probably skewed.

Well in the pilot, in the deleted scenes, we see Simon looking up info on an electronic dictionary type thing. I assume that they have eletronic books in the future, so really they could have their own personal library on one of those handheld thingys. I see Book's bible as being something more rare, something that he keeps in book form for symbolism as well, since he could easily have it electronically.

Also, someone mentioned them getting leave. I think that they get time off when they're planetside, between jobs and when looking for jobs. I would guess Mal would give them a day or so at least of rest. Remember how everyone wanted to get off the ship in Ariel? I guess they only get to rest in the smellier, dirtier outer planets.

Fatigue would show at different times.

For Zoe, now would be about right. Then again she may be just itching for a fight...

Jayne - as long as it is him dishing the violence and not the other way around, he will be fine.

Mal - IMO it will be less combat related and more with getting tired of forcing everyone else to survive against their will.

Inara, Kaylee: They are not normal combatants, so they will probably stay similar to what they are.

Simon has to fight, River is crazy.

All IMO.

EDIT - About a vacation or a leave - in the Pilot they thought they needed one and were grumpy. In The Train Job they were less so, and a period of time had passed that was large enough for Kaylee to heel. I would suspect there was a break taken. at some point. And OoG - it was supposed to be a week long journey of doing almost nothing. After the excitement, I suspect it would have returned to that same doing nothing (and recovery for Mal). But being cooked up in a ship for long periods would haves own downsides.

... If Jayne needs a vacation, Mal can't call HQ for another merc. (Although it might make an intriguing fic if he were to, say, ask Badger to lend him a goon, and wackiness ensues.)

Cool; I'd like to try that one out

A plug, but Virtual Firefly have a similar episode to this. 2x08: Haven - "While Zoe and Wash settle into life on Haven, Mal seeks outside assistance in pulling off a heist for Mingo and Fanty." stillflying.net if you're interested.

Simon does seem to have the most stress. It is with Simon that Mal discusses River's manic behavior. And we see this in almost every episode. So, besides the everyday capers, Simon has to deal with River issues.

River probably has added a little more stress on everybody. If Jayne would keep his mouth shut and not betray them he would have fewer stitches in his chest. Having to go out a rumage through GoodWill Stores looking for replacement shirts after getting the last sliced up must put a damper on Jayne's day.
