On Aquila, a garbled signal is received from the Dust Planet. Sensei Ojin analyzes the transmission.
"I believe this is from Elbarto. It has his 'fingerprints'.
Ojin sends a message to his spy network on Dust planet - The Desert Guild:
"Guild, please search for Tranquility crew member Elbarto. I recieved a broken transmission from him having the words
'cave', 'heavy fire' and 'escape' being the only audible words. Contact me with updates. He may assist you with operation REFLECTOR
[ the counter intel project to the secret underground Alliance base in the deep desert. ]
Ojin and his security team return to continue the interrogation of the traitor who planted the bomb on Tranquility
when she was docked on Aquila - the security guard who replaced Elbarto, when Elbarto left to join Tranquility.

the DR. leads the group - SHADOW, SHINY, OREO, PATHFINDER, STORM, SUMMER and himself down a stairwell, to an elevator that accesses the underground parking area for the ALLIANCE employees.
DOC puts his IDENT CARD into the reader and the elevator takes them to the lowest level.
they exit the elevator and run to his hovercraft.
they pile into it, barely fitting in.
SHADOW:
"yup, this won't look too suspicious."
the DOC drives towards the exit while SHADOW uses the 'COM to call TRANQUILITY.
"O2, KAT, you there?"
O2 answers:
"barely cap. we have life support failure - no power at all 'cept for communications. long story, with bombs and cats in it. our friend OJIN says he purchased a ship, SERENITY, from the FOX IMPOUND SHIPYARD for you to fly back to him. but...
here's an idea, since KAT and i will be all gross and corpsified soon, maybe you could stop here and pick us up on the way back to AQUILA? you sanguine with that?
SHADOW:
"we gotta get to the SHIPYARD 1st, but we'll put a move on it, not that we're not already. hang tight and put a blanket on."
the hovercraft moves up to the ground level and starts gliding slowly away from the ALLIANCE facility, past many emergency vehicles making their way into the complex.
SHADOW:
"nice distraction DOC, they didn't have time to notice that we were there... then the explosions.
we actually might have something go our way... shiny!"
"DOC, you look a little flushed, you o.k.?
you still with us?"
then a loud bang.
back on TRANQUILITY:
"CABIN TEMPERATURE 30 DEGREES AND FALLING"

the hovercraft heads towards the outskirts of ARIEL CITY, towards the FOX IMPOUND SHIPYARD, weighted down by the 7 people.
over the crafts 'com, the 7 hear a broadcast alerting the feds of DR. BANE being a suspect in the bombing and that his hovercraft
was seen leaving the area, heading west.
just then, they hear sirens in the distance but getting closer.
SHADOW:
"they're on to us. lose them DOC."
the DOC's eyes are glazed.
the hovercraft begins to drift to the left, almost out of control.
SHADOW pulls him away from the controls and pilots the vehicle himself.
the DOC passes out.
the vehicle enters an area of abandoned buildings as the feds close in.
SHADOW takes the vehicle down the abandoned streets. in a zig-zag pattern, still heading for the SHIPYARD, now just a mile away.
SHINY:
"sounds like they're gaining on us."
OREO:
"no visual yet CAP."
PATHFINDER:
"CAPTAIN, i have an idea. i know of a safe house in this quadrant. the DOCTOR needs medical attention.
if you let me take him in the vehicle there, the rest of you can go to get SERENITY on foot. it's only a mile away.
i have a better chance to escape with only he and i in the vehicle.
plus, this will draw the feds away from you."
SHADOW:
"we're not leaving without you."
PATHFINDER:
"sir, it's our only chance. we'll never outrun the feds with 7 people on board. i'll catch up to you.
even if i don't, i know how to find you, wherever you are.
just go to the SHIPYARD and give me 5 hours. if i'm not at the SHIPYARD by then, leave without me, i'll find you."
SHADOW turns down a small street, RAVENWOOD ave.
and stops.
SHADOW:
"o.k. PATH, you are right. take the craft and get help for the DOC. see you in 5 hours."
the group splits up and PATHFINDER speeds away towards the safehouse with the doctor still passed out.
the 5 remaining crew start running towards the SHIPYARD.

as the craft speeds away, OREO fires a flare down an alley way to draw the feds attention.
the decoy worked, as the feds turn down the alley to follow the sound.
OREO:
"that should buy those pencil-necks some time."
SHADOW:
"good thinking OREO. hey, were did you get that briefcase?"
OREO:
"took it from the DOC while he was out."
SHADOW:
"yup, that's our OREO."
the 5 continue running to the FOX IMPOUND SHIPYARD. they finally get there after almost an hour. STORM and SUMMER slowing their trek.
SHADOW:
"ok, lets wait near the entrance for a spell. PATHFINDER and THE DOC still have 4 hrs to get here."
meanwhile, PATHFINDER pulls up to the safe house.
he pulls the DOC out and helps him to the entrance.
he knocks.
the door opens.
a man looks at the PATH, and then at DOC.
DOC looks up at the man groggily:
"KELLEN?"

OREO:
"how much longer CAP?"
SHADOW:
"3 hrs."
OREO:
"ruttin' PATHFINDER"
OREO starts trying to open the briefcase that he took from the DOC.
SHINY:
"OREO!
OREO:
"what? he's not here."

(After a few moments of struggling with the case oreo throws it down onto the ground)
Oreo- ruttin piece of fei-oo.
(Captain chuckles out loud)
Captain- Wow, something "YOU" can't break into. Now i've seen everyting.
(shiny smiles at oreo who is kicking the briefcase around.)
Shiny- Honestly Oreo, I don't think that'll work.
(Oreo stops and looks back at shiny with a sheepish grin)
Oreo- I may not remember much anymore, but i do remember that something this hard to get into, must have something valuable in it.
(Shiny turns back to storm and summer who are playing an old hand game with each each other.)
Shiny- Remember who you took it from. It's probably full of medical supplies.
Oreo- yeah you're right.
(suddenly Oreo becomes very excited)
Oreo- hey, might fetch a handsome sum of scratch on one of the outer planets!
(The captain and shiny stare at Oreo in disbelief, not because of his idea, but because of the usual way oreo is attempting to open the case)
Captain- Serioulsy?! You're biting the briefcase?
Oreo- gotta try everything captain.
(Shiny try's holding back a smile)
Shiny(thinking to herself)- I've never seen Oreo like this. Almost child-like. Like a kid in a candy shop.
(Shiny fails at hiding her smile. suddenly the twins burst out laughing. their full attention trained on Oreo comedic attempts at trying to open the case. Frustrasted, oreo holds the briefcase in his hands, not knowing that the briefcase was backwards begins shouting)
Oreo- Gorramnit! Activate! Unlock! OPEN!....
(Suddenly the latches unlock and the breifcase opens instantly smacking Oreo in the face. Like in some old "earth that was" kid show oreo falls over backwards like a tree thats been chopped. Shiny runs over to oreo)
Shiny- Oreo! Are you okay?!
Oreo- I'd like to thank the academy for this wonderful trophy....and all the lights...that are...all bendy.....
Shiny- What?!
Captain- He'll be fine.
(The bends down and reaches into the caseand pulls out a piece of paper and a large think folder, filled with documents.)
Shiny- What is it captain?
(the captain opens the folder and begins reading)
Captain- it's looks like an alliance document, bout some new project called "Inner Reaper".
(Oreo finally sits up, trying to stop the stinging by rubbing his face.)
Oreo-Inner...what?
Captain- My thoughts exactly. We may have to ask the good doctor bout this when he gets back.
Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.

"SHINY, come with me, we need to check in with the YARDMASTER to make sure everything is shiny.

SHINY:
"you 3 kids have fun!"
SHADOW:
"OREO, don't lose anything in that briefcase."

Shiny stands in awe admiring the beautiful ship.
She walks over to Serenity and place her hand gently on the side of the ship.
Shiny,"Captain, she's so Pretty".
She walks slowly around the ship taking in every detail. She can't stop smiling.
Captain,"Shiny,Ive never seen this happy."
Shiny turns her head and see's the biggest grin on Captains Face.
Shiny, " i can say the same about you."
Captain, "well, you ready to go in and take a look?"
Shiny, extends her arm in the towards the cargo bay door, "after you Captain."
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

SHADOW and SHINY walk up the ramp and enter SERENITY.
"ok, lets make sure she's ready to roll before we get all fuzzy.
DOCKMASTER says he's releasing the landlock on her soon.
we have less than 1 hr to wait, then we leave to help O2 and KAT."
