"Yep, my names Catherine Masling. Or just Cate... it's easier to remember and shorter to say." She took abother swig of her own bottle, looking at the grain marks within the wood. "What's your two names?"
"13," repled 13.
"Go by Pain." The larger man grunted.
"Shiny." Cate smiled at them warmly. "Nice to meet you both."
Both of their replies were just another swig of beer.
"Sooo... just so I don't get spaced or cold-shouldered to, what are the major do's and don'ts on this here vessel?"

*Aiko is heading for the dining area when she runs into Kellen. She immediately senses an opportunity, and greets him. The only excuse she can think of immediately to go up to the bridge would be to see the stars, so she plays on that and hopes Kellen will fall for it*
Hello, Kellen! That is your name, right? Would there be any chance that you might be able to escort me to the bridge? Since you've applied to be crew and all? It would be a shame to be traveling in space without having once seen the stars, wouldn't it? I've always wanted to be among the stars since I was a little girl, you know, but it's just like being in an ordinary building right now, and it just doesn't seem right, being in a spaceship and all. So, could you, please?

John's eyes burst open. He had a feeling, a bad one. He crept to the passenger dorm and sighed. The numbers didn't match up. People were wanderin and it didn't seem like they could all be in the galley. He began to walk the ship trying to find people. He decided to start with the galley and go from there. He saw that only one of the passengers was in their and got worried. He walked in, "Pain we got people where they maybe shouldn't be."

She wandered into the infirmary and set the gun on the counter as she started going through the cabinets quietly.
"An infirmary. How convenient."
She admired the orderliness of it's inventory. Suddenly, she came across a particular drug: Kepraftin.
"Now why would this be stocked on a ship like this?"
"It's also a mild pain killer," Ivy said softly.
"Go back to sleep Ivy!"
"O-Ok." And Ivy did as she was told.
The contents of the bottle was poured down the drain and the water was turned on to make sure they were gone for good.
She switched off the water, picked up the gun and continued on her trek.
"I have to find that cortex link."
She made her way up the stairs until she was just outside the galley. She stayed in the shadows and peeked in. Three people sat at the table, dinking from bottles. Probably an alcohol of some sort. She weighed the chances of going on in and joining them, but decided against it. One of them, a big guy, looked in her direction and paused for a moment. Did he see her? She flattened herself harder to the wall, making sure she stayed in the shadows. His attention was diverted from her direction when she heard the voice of the guy Ivy talked to earlier.

Pain. That was the name of the big guy. Strange name. She knew she couldn't stay there, so she retreated to a safer position.

John felt a presence outside the galley. Sharp and distinct, also unreckognizable. He rushed out of the room pulling a pistol incospicuously from a holster. "I know you're here. Come out now or I'll find you and shoot."

She had a jump on them, but that guy that gave Ivy the third degree earlier was quick.

"I knew he was bad news," she muttered under her breath.
Quickly and silently, she made her way to the passenger dorms and to where Ivy had fallen asleep earlier. She wrapped herself back up in the blanket, shoved the gun between the cushions and laid her head back. In just a few moments, she was asleep.

"Well..." Pain replied. He was about to continue when John walked in looking a might worried.

Turning back to Cate, he said, "There's that, which is a major no-no." To John he asked, "Do we know how many?"

As he watched John rush out with gun drawn, Pain muttered, "Okaay, I'll take that as my cue to alert the crew."
Rushing to the comm on the wall, Pain switched onto the P.A. and said into it, "Attention all crew! We have a person or persons walkin' about without permission! Please get your pigus out of bed pronto! We're goin' on lockdown!"
Pulling the large .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol from the back of his waistband, Pain said to both Cate and 13, "Cate, get back to your room please. 13, you're with me."
After saying that, Pain left the galley, pistol in hand and with an overly eager 13 behind him.

“Sure,” she replied with no argument.
Not wanting to create trouble for anybody, or herself, Cate quietly and quickly made her way back towards her room, to wait out the lockdown.

John chased after the presence. It moved fast then all of a sudden he lost it. He stopped moving as the captain and Zoe came walking up to him.
"What's going on here" Mal asked.
"There was someone around here but I lost them."
"Which way was he going before you lost him?"
John pointed and the captian took off, Zoe and John behind him.

Doc stalked back to her office, the video meeting with Commander Apush over.
'Stupid buricrats!'
Doc thought as she threw back a glass of whiskey, and then poured herself another from the crystal decanter.Doc thought back to the lattest demands made of her by the Commander.
*Flashback*
"There is a problem that I have had for quite sometime. It has just come to my attention, Col.Von Werston, That you are in a possition to take care of it for me."
Doc looked at Commander Apush with thinly vieled bordem.
" What sort of problem could I possibly help you with?"
There is a ship, a firefly class transport named Serenity, it has been reported in your area. I want you to find it..."
Doc cut him off
"And what? Sieze the ship for no reason and throw everyone onboard in my brig?"
"At one point in time, yes. But as I was saying, you will find this ship. It has been deemed a potental threat to the Alliance, and we want you to analize the threat pottental of it and it's crew. And, if necessary, take care of it."
Genuinly curious, Doc asked the one question on her mind. "Why this ship?"
Commander Apush ended the link.
'Thinking that I can make all his problems go away. Hell! Thinking I WILL make his problems go away just because he is higher up then me.'
Doc now held the report from their database. A flag on a Firefly class transport for multiple counts of smuggling and robbery. Oh, and of course the part where the government suspects that fugitives are on board, and one of them is from a Alliance high security clearence project.
'Commander Apush thinks like all of the Alliance buricrats. That the Alliance is invincible. It's time that he learned that out here on the fringe nothing is invincible.'
It is the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting
