Here is a summary of our previous thread, located at:
http://fireflyfans.net/mthread.asp?b=11&t=33358

Our spaceship, Sereni-Tree, has been docked at the space station Persepolis 8, where we have just finished our two-an-a-half month party celebrating our fourth anniversary. We have met some new people, including Aiko (who may be Leopardflan's alter ego) and Trip, a friend of Bluefishie.

Ervin the Yeti has invited the group down to the cargo bay that has been converted into a yeti snowscape. He proposed some skiing, which Deuce has assumed will be a competition. Oh, and the young yeti SimonYeti squeezed his godfather and namesake SimonWho a bit too much. A growing lad. Let's see... Bluefishie is saving some wayward Potter clones from drowning and... that's all that I remember.

Oh, wait! It turns out that the little purple squid thing that follows Bluefishie around might be a little more than it seems. At least, it is both intelligent and telepathic.

The huge, furry yeti named Ervin leads the group down several levels into the ship's cargo section. He stops at a door which has a crudely painted sign that reads, "YETI ONLY. ALL OTHERS TO BE EATEN!".

"Don't mind sign," he tells them with a grin that exposes all his fangs. "Is joke."

"Heh. Funny," Trey mutters under her breath.

"Let's get on with it!" an impatient Deuce demands.

Both human women are dressed in snow gear and are carrying skis (as are any others who are going on the ski trip).

Ervin opens the door to reveal a veritable winter wonderland that seems to stretch on for miles (or even kilometers). "TheRealHim folds space for us to make lots and lots of room," Assan, another yeti, explains.

"Much like our home, Black Diamond Planet," says Hewitt, the smallest and youngest of the adult yeti.

"Many hills. Much snow," agrees Corbin, the mother of SimonYeti.

SimonYeti growls.

"And COLD!" adds Lichna, the other female yeti. "You humans live too hot!"

"We build lodge," Ervin says, "like humans live in on Black Diamond before it goes boom. Come."

The group heads into YetiLand.

Okay, everyone find a nice slope and get to the top. We'll work out some sort of lift system later.

SimonYeti, it might be safer if you put this helmet on. Don't worry, it's just to stop your head getting bumped if you fall over. That's it, just slip it on and... oh.

I think if you can break the helmet with your own head, you probably don't need to bother. Right, skis on, poles in each hand and let's start off with a little snowploughing down the hill.

Okay, snowploughing is just the name of the technique, the aim is not to move all the snow down to the bottom of the slope. Don't worry, we'll try again.

The two yeti Lichna and Assan approach SimonWho at the bottom of the slope.

"We have lift system," Assan says.

He grabs SimonWho in one hand and SimonYeti in the other. Then he runs at great speed up to the top of the hill, where he gently deposits them. Lichna remains at the base of the hill.

*picks up her snowboard and carries it to the top of the hill, sits down and pants a little, then races down after the others*

**jake7 watches the gang go down the hall to the Yeti zone. She calls after them**

I'll be there in a little while. I'm a bit tired from the party and I think I'll take a speed nap.

I don't know how to ski, but I love to sled, so I'll meet up with you all very soon!

**she stifles a large yawn and hurries to her room. Once there, she sets her alarm for 15 minutes and then lays down on the bed and quickly drifts off.

15 minutes later, she awakens refreshed. She dresses quickly for the cold -- donning some space age thermals so she won't be quite so bulky -- and then grabs her sled and heads for the Yeti zone. She walks through the door into a winter wonderland.**

Wow! This is incredible!

**She grabs the lift and heads to the top for her first run down the hill**

MAL: Everybody's makin' a fuss.

Down in Sereni-Tree's Main Engineering:

"How's that?" Jet asks.

"A little to the left, Bride4. Your left!" TheRealMe is at the fusion reactor watching carefully as the steel tentacles of a Diagnostic/Repair Drone lower the new plasma coil into its housing. Nearby, at the side of the insect-like DRD, Jet is at the controls.

"Perfect, Bride4!"

With a slight twist of Jet's wrist, the fragile device is slowly lowered into place.

"Okay, Bride4. One more of these and we can..." Suddenly, TheRealMe tenses, blinks twice, and faints dead away.

He awakens moments later, flat on his back, Jet hovering over him. "Are you okay?" she asks, a concerned look on her face.

He tries to sit up, but cannot. "I felt a disturbance in the Force!"

"Like billions of people crying out as one, and then being snuffed out?"

He shakes his head. "Worse!"

Jet whispers: "Cozen!"

TheRealMe, Captain of the Sereni-Tree
Jet, Bride4, Engineer

OOC: And we are very happy to have him back!!!!
