A new one!! How did I miss this?? :D
And an exciting one, at that! I like a plotty arc - that sets off even bigger plotty arcs, hehe!

Cool, I like the visual transition! I can imagine how great it would look on screen..

Mal, Zoe, Wash and Jayne make their way to the docking bay. It's frought with danger; bodies, mini explosions, general panic and crumbling fuselage do their best to halt the gangs progress but they manage to make it to Serenity. She seems in tact. Wash engages the necessaries and they blast away from the carnage of the crumbling vessel.
Ooh, they just take off without trying to save any of the panicking people?? Nice touch of darkness there! Mal is pretty ruthless when it comes to his crew. Of course, this won't help him with the Alliance, who might see it as a sign of his culpability..

- they're going to have to find out just who did this. When Kaylee asks why? Zoe informs her of the family's onboard who most likely all but perished on that cruiser.
Gaah. Terrorism in space. Certainly a good angle to explore.

Plus Mal adds - someone is going to be looking to point the blame, and right now Serenity and her crew are the most likely candidates - meaning they have to clear thier name. Best way to do that (as alliance won't listen to him) is to catch the people responsible.....
But how are they going to do that? I'm very intrigued!

A 'Wave' is sent: To find and destroy Firefly class ship "SERENITY"!.....
End of Part II
TO BE CONTINUED.....
So, with Serenity tagged and the Alliance not looking to take prisoners.. are they going to stow her somewhere?? Separate? Somehow find all the beacons and pray no one recognizes Serenity??
MORE! :D
It's really a great transitional episode. It would need a wee bit of plot enhancement to work on its own, but it sets up some great things with very intense implications - plus, nice moments between the crew. :)
But as I said, MORE! Please.

Why thank you again. AgentRouka. :D Sorry to have neglected this -- I'll explain below.

Be nice wouldn't it. I tend to think visually first with this stuff. So glad that worked.

Ahh well, with a bit more time and the ability to flesh this out, this scene would actually be very confrontational. A mix of:
"We must help!"
and:
"We help we die..." type attitude. There be a lot of conflict in here.

He,he.. I think I may as well tell you... Oh no I'll try and develop a later episode.

Um... With a bit of techno babble I'm afraid. Something about finding the source of the signal etc, etc. then refining the search to those they know who may have the means to do such a thing. Would of course involve much investigation.

Nope! Fly right into danger! Alliance hot on their heals. Nothing I like more than a chase through space that seems impossible to escape from. Sorry but my swashbuckling dreams simply get the better of me sometimes. :D

Oh definitely. I'm trying to write small paragraphs that explain as much as possible. Thing is there's tons to say - only wish I had more time to do this. I'm a bit swamped with work so my heads not in it. Sorry. Also in a couple of days I'll be on a short break in the Ardennes with some friends for a week so not sure when I'll post next. But I will.
It's interesting there are 723 views of this post, yet you and I appear to be the only ones writing? Bluesuncompanyman has left us?
Hope people don't think this an exclusive thing. Everyone is welcome to write...
Anyone?...
