shiny stands in the engine room listening to the mesmerizing hum of SERENITY'S engine. after a few minutes she decides to take a tour of the ship.

She turns around to leave the engine room and see's summer and storm looking at her.

Shiny, "hey guys, wanna walk around the ship with me?"
the twins nod Yes.

Shiny, "Good, lets go.

The three start walking around the ship.

Summer looking up say's, "The ship is sad, She has many stories that needs to be told."

Storm, "but the purple bellied FOX wouldn't listen."

Shiny puts her arm around summer, "well, Our love will keep her flying,then maybe one day her stories will be told."

Just then the lights flicker, She hears Captain Shout, "Shiny!"

Shiny, "I'm on it".

shiny runs back to the engine room and starts checking the engine, she tightens a few bolts, then shouts back, "everything Shiny!"

...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

(Oreo steps into the bridge. Captain turns around and greets him)

Captian- well if it isn't our favorite reaver. Well, half reaver.

(Oreo stares out the bridge window with a grimace look on his face)

Captain- what's eatin you?

Oreo- Pathfinder.

(Captian looks at Oreo in confusion)

Captain- yeah, i know what you mean. We're not supposed to leave our own.

(Quickly oreo turns to Captian in a rage)

Oreo- NO! you ruttin idiot. That's piece of Fei-oo was to get me back my memories. Fix me up. We went through all that for no damn reason.

(Oreo kicks a canister and storms out off the brigde. o2 goes back to plotting his course)

Captain- it's like being on a ship with small, angry child.

Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.

Oreo, brushes past shiny and the twins.

Shiny turns to summer and storm,

Shiny, Why don't you guys go to the galley and wait for me ok.

Shiny calls out "Oreo!"

Oreo keeps walking but Shiny can tell he slowed his pace.

Shiny catches up to him, "Oreo, Whats wrong?"

Oreo hits the wall with his fist, "pathfinder was supposed to help me, What am I to do now?"

Shiny feeling Bad for Oreo puts her hand on his.

Shiny, "I promise, you will get your memories back. we will help anyway we can, I will do anything and everything I can for you, as long as you want me too."

Shiny kisses Oreo's check then says, "just don't hurt me.... again". Shiny walks to the galley.

...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

SERENITY approaches the crippled TRANQUILITY on the small moon near ARIEL.

SHADOW:
"O2, KAT, do you read?"

...still no response.
SHADOW actives SERENITYS scanners to scan TRANQUILITY.
'all systems inactive.'

SHADOW:
"i hope they're still alive."

SHADOW 'coms the crew:
"ok all, prepare to board TRANQUILITY.
we will need to get in our space suits, her life support is down.
SHINY, you will need to find out how to at least get her limping again."

* no response *

SHADOW walks back to see if anyone is awake.
OREO, SHINY, STORM and SUMMER are all sleeping, exhausted from the long ordeal.
SHINY is snoring, OREO is talking in his sleep...
something about PATHFINDER.

SHADOW:
'lets go, wake up people. we've got crew need rescuin'"

everyone wakes up.

SUMMER:
"the path is unclear."

SHADOW says under his breath:
"your tellin' me little one."

SERENITY lands next to TRANQUILITY.
SHADOW, SHINY and OREO leave the ship in their suits and board TRANQUILITY to rescue KAT and O2.
the rescue team finds O2 and KAT both on the bridge, unconscious.

SHADOW:
"they're still alive. let's get them on SERENITY as fast as we can."

* thinking *
i'm glad we didn't wait for PATHFINDER any longer than we did, back at the shipyard. these two would probably have died.

the team carries O2 and KAT back to SERENITY and into the medlab.

SHADOW:
"SHINY, get back to TRANQUILITY and try to find out what's wrong over there."
OREO, stay with O2 and KAT, keep an eye on them."

SHADOW goes up to the bridge of SERENITY to call for help.
just then, a transmission comes in from the safe house on ARIEL from PATHFINDER.

"captain, i'm transmitting my initial findings on OREO'S scans from the hospital on ARIEL.
i will send you more results as we find them.
there are a few doctors in this safe house that are helping me intemperate the results."

results begin to upload................

(Shadow sits back and and begins to ponder to himself as Oreos data begins to upload to the ship computer)

Shadow- Pathfinder. He ain't at all worried bout being left behind?

(Just then shiny's voice chimes in over the com)

***Shiny coms***

****ends Com****

(meanwhile back in the medlab. Oreo paces back and further. ever so often checking on kat and gives glances over to o2 as well)

Oreo- Ruttin pathfinder. It's his fault we're all in this mess. Him and that gorramn Alliance doc we run into back there.

(Oreo finally sits down on the ground muttering to himself, before dozing off)

Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.

ELBARTO

Thursday, January 29, 2009 7:41 PM

*Inside the cave*

Claire: Hungry?

El: Yeah. I could ea.t

(Claire goes to hand El some emergency rations, then realizes El is staring at the entrance.)

Claire: What is it?

El: Something is out there.

(El hands Claire an assault rifle and grabs two pistols for himself)

El: Stay here. Remember, we're low on ammo.

(Just as El is the cave voice speaks up)

Voice: Elbarto are you in there?

El: Who are you? You give me any wrong answers and I start shooting.

Voice: I am an ally. I am of the desert guild, we are a branch of Sensei Ojin's spy network. May I come in?

El:(Thinking) Sensei's still up to his new tricks is he?

El: You and only you can come in. If I see a weapon in your hands I shoot.

(The Stranger walks in slowly hands at his sides.)

Voice: My name is Lao. Sensei Ojin recieved your message, and ordered us to come find you. We are to bring you back to our base. There you may contact Sensei.

(El stares at the man intently when he speaks, and sense no deception.)

El: Ok, lead on.

When you can't run you crawl. When you can't do that...well...you know the rest.

Ojin finishes the interrogation of the saboteur and returns to his office to review the data that was on the chip
that was smuggled to Aquila from Dust Planet through ShadowCaptain.

Incoming transmission from Desert Guild:

"We have located Elbarto and have deployed a team
headed by agent Lao to recover him.
Also, we have learned of a new shipment of chemicals that is scheduled to arrive soon heading to 'the WORM'
[ nickname of the underground Alliance base, given to it by members of the Desert Guild ].
This shipment is likely to be escorted by an Alliance squad.
Details as they become available."

Ojin sits back in his chair and smiles.

* thinking *
looks like they'll keep my old student busy during his visit.

Back on Dust Planet:
Lao:
"O.k. Elbarto, we can help you get back to your ship or you can stay here and help us spy on 'the WORM'.
Ojin has sent us your security clearance.
You are as one of us."

SHADOW 'coms OJIN on AQUILA:
"sensei, we have retrieved SERENITY for you, but TRANQUILITY is without power, and stranded on this little moon near ARIEL. request instruction."

OJIN:
"SHADOW, you and your crew are welcome to stay in SERENITY as long as you like. i will send a repair team to TRANQUILITYS location at once.
if you are in need of work, there is a convoy of ships scheduled to pick up settlers from COLONY STATION 1 during the next week. they will be settling on the newly terraformed moons in orbit around AQUILA. if you like, you can join the convoy to help move the settlers here. i may send the INDEPENDENCE from AQUILA and also welcome the rest of the firefly fleet to join in the move. there may not be much excitement but you can meet new people at the station and during the move."
