(Shiny sits down on the floor, holding head between her knees. kat continues to wipe blood from Oreo’s face.)
Kat- what have you done this time Oreo?
(The captain makes his way to the cargo hold)
Captain (talking to himself)- what are you looking for shadow?
(Shadow walks over to where Oreo’s suit is lying and picks it up and begins to inspect. Blast from the Reavers ship, knocking things about the cargo hold, Captain continues to inspect the suit, hoping to find the answers he's looking for. Suddenly the captain comes across an interesting turn in the situation)
Captain- Well ain't that something?
(The captain turns and hurries back to the infirmary. Kat is wrapping bandages around Oreo head when he notices shiny on the floor. He quickly glances at kat and makes his way towards shiny.)
Kat- what’s wrong Captain?
(The captain kneels down next to shiny and begins inspecting shiny suit)
Shiny (weakly)- I know captain; I’ll take it off in a minute.... Just need to catch my breath....
Captain- that’s not what I’m looking for.
(The captain finds a small hole in her suit.)
Captain- take off your suit now!
(Shiny suddenly becomes embarrassed, suddenly remembering she was still only half dressed underneath her suit)
Shiny- I can't...
Captain- shiny, I don't have time to argue! In bout a moments time, them Reavers is gonna stop playing cat and mouse games with us and completely tear us down to scrap. I need to figure out what happened to my crew and get back on the bridge, so's we can get to workin on savin our skins. Dong ma?
(Shiny takes her suit off. The captain takes in a deep breathe, his face a slight red-ish color from the situation at hand.)
Captain- Wow! Hey! Flesh...
(A shiny proceeds to finish removing her suit. the captain noticing that there is more bare flesh then he thought, diverts his head away.)
Captain- I take it you and Oreo?
Shiny (weakly)- yes captain...
(The Captain pulls a blanket out of a cupboard and places it around shiny. Then quickly checking the area on shiny that the hole in the was, he finds a poison dart jutting from the back of her calf.)
Captain-jung chi duh go-se dway!
(Captain pulls kat away from Oreo)
Captain- Get Shiny up on the table!
Kat- Wha, why?
Captain- just Do It!
(With great pain, kat picks up shiny and places her on the table. Instantly shiny begins to convulse.)
Kat-What happening to Her?
Captain- She was hit by a poison dart of some kind.
Kat- how could she have survived? The dart would have made a hole in the suit and being out there in the black she would have....
Captain-Died? Oreo made sure she didn't. He was feeding his oxygen into her suit. It held long enough to get her onboard.
Kat- But, Oreo?
captain- on conscience i reckon.lack of oxygen.
kat- what about the blood?
captain- Might have happened during that blast. Head could've bounced off the glass in the helmet, who knows.
(shiny begins shaking violently. Kat tries to pin her down.)
kat- captain, she's going into shock!
(the captain open a drawer and pulls out a syringe needle, filled with adrenaline and jabs it straight into shiny heart. The adrenaline istantly takes affect, calming the convulsion's.)
kat- Is that it? is she gonna be alright?
captain- Far from it. You stay here with'em let me know if anything changes.
(The captain rushes out and heads for the bridge.)
o2- Where have you been? It ain't looking pretty up here! We have taken a hit to our right side engine! One more and we're done!
Captain- go for full burn! And head For Gui'jin!
We got dump tranquility, Then the Reavers and get to Aquila as fast as possible!
Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.

Shiny feels the adrenaline hit her.
Here eyes open as her body jumps, she see's Kat staring at her.
In that moment she thinks about Oreo.then she drifts off.
......DREAMING.....
Shiny sitting on a beach with legs bent and her chin resting on her knees , watching the sunset.
enjoying the peaceful birds fly bye.
the waves rolling in then out.
Shiny doesn't seem to notice the water slowly creeping up.
She's just watching the sky.
The water is now up to her knees
touching her face,
the water over takes her,
she feels it all over her body
she breathes it even though she knows its dangerous,
she finds comfort.
She closes her eyes.
when she opens her eyes
it's day light she laying on the rocks
she sits up,
looking down at the ocean,
feeling like its the perfect day
she just continues sitting......
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

(kat limps over to the counter looking for more bandages and pain killers when a noise strartles her. She whips around and finds oreo had disappeared. She drops the bandages and quickly limps over to the com)
Kat(coms captain)- He's Gone!
captain- Who's Gone?
Kat- Oreo! I turned my head for a second and now he's gone!
Captain- alright, stay put i'm on my way!
(The captain shouts orders to o2 as he exits off the bridge)
Captain- Keep full burn and as soon as we hit atmo com me!
o2- aye!
(Kat turns around to check on shiny, but ends up, face to face with the Reaver side of Oreo. kat presses herself as much as she can against the wall)
Kat- Or...eo...you're...okay now. You're on the ship now.
(Oreo keeps his eyes trained on Kat for a few seconds before turning around and seein shiny. A tear forms and rolls down his cheek. Suddenly he snaps back and lets out a ferious screeching growl and picks Kat up by the throat, and throwing her against the far wall. kat scrambles to her feet but is quickly knocked back down by a blown from a desk chair. Kat spits up blood and tries to calm Oreo.)
Kat- Oreo! What is wrong With you! We didn't do that to her! The Reavers did! Remember!
(Oreo picks up a metallic cutting instrument and advances towards Kat. Evil in his eyes. Death on his mind. Kat tries to crawl away, but her wound and her recent injuries hinder her.)
Kat- I Don't wanna Die! We didnt do that to her!
Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.

Shiny opens her eyes
she's having a hard time focusing,
the room is spinning and
everything is blurry.
she turns her head
and see's Oreo advancing towards Kat.
Shiny unclear at what is happening
But can hear the reaver in Oreo's voice
Shiny tries to call out to him
but feeling so weak can only Whisper
"Oreo"
in a louder whisper
"Oreo, please don't"
shiny closes her eyes
the spinning room is making her feel sick.
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

SHADOW powers up the navigation computer as O2 maneuvers SERENITY away from the reavers.
SHADOW:
"i'll try to find the best moon around AQUILA for us to hide on, there's 5 of them,
but you have to put some distance between us and the reaver ship O2."
O2:
"shi".

SHADOW searches the cortex for a good place to lose the reavers near AQUILA:

[ planet: AQUILA - Saturday, April 12, 2008 - 11:46 ]
SHADOW watches out the window of SERENITY, as they leave the crippled TRANQUILITY behind, empty and lifeless.
* thinking *
we'll be back... hang on
As O2 fires the engines for full burn, a loud explosion comes from the right engine of SERENITY.
O2: "That would be the starboard engine dying."
SERENITY starts to yaw to the right
( http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/yaw.html ).
O2 compensates but has trouble. He has to cut back on the port side engine to avoid losing control totally.
Just then a second reaver ship cuts them off at their "12 o'clock".
SHADOW picks up the 'com:
"o.k., listen up. There's 2 reaver ships, big ones, 'got us cornered. we 'got no starboard engine... can't move much.
Prepare to be boarded... that means everyone get a weapon. I won't kid you, we'll be vastly out numbered, these ships are huge.
It has been my great honor to serve with you all. "

The 1st reaver ship pulls up alongside Serenity.
It fires its magnetic grapplers at Serenity and captures her in its grasp.
Shadow: "Here they come, stand ready"!
Shadow looks out the porthole and sees into the 1st reaver ships window, now parallel to Serenity and just feet away.
He sees dozens and dozens of black clad, scarred, bloodied reavers screaming with their weapons drawn, waiting to board Serenity and feast on her crew.
Another sound... a muffled explosion.
* everyone thinking *
Well this is how it ends.
* silence for a moment *
* hearts beating *
Shadow is waiting near the bay door - were the reavers will enter 1st.
Kat is across from Shadow, weapons drawn.
Oreo is growling, ready for blood.
Storm and Summer are hidden in a secret compartment were Kat told them to hide.
Shiny is the luckiest... still unconscious.
O2 has barred the door to the bridge.
The 2nd reaver ship, the one blocking Serenity from the bow [at her 12 o'clock], bursts into flame from the stern.
A moment later, when the fireball and debris dissipate, a new ship comes into view. 
The Independence - refitted as a gunship, comes about and heads for the 1st reaver ship - the one that is grappled to Serenity.
"This is Captain Hilo of the Firefly Independence, hailing reaver ship grappled to firefly ship Serenity. Disengage your attack or we will destroy you."
Hilo thinks:
The 2 ships are so close that any attack on the reaver ship will jeopardize Serenity... but there is no choice, they are all dead in moments anyway.
There is no other option.
The Indy fires a warning shot across the bow of the reaver ship.

Shiny keeps drifting in and out of conciseness.
she turns her head and looks were she had thought
Oreo and Kat where, but see's no one.
She realizes she's alone in the room.
she try's to move her legs , but can't.
she's starting to feel like she's on fire.
Shiny removes the blanket that the Captain had given her in hopes to cool off but its not working.
Shiny is weak and still unsure of what is Happening to her.
The last thing she remembers is the captain giving her the blanket.
she passes out Again.
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

(Oreo advances towards kat, death in his eyes. ready to make his kill. suddenly, a blast rocks the ship, knocking oreo off balnace and down to the ground. kat seizes the moment and limp out of the infirmary, locking the doors behind her. She presses her forehand against the glass and lets out a sigh of relief, but is instanstaniously startled by Oreo, who's begins beating his fists against the glass. Kat, quickly limps to the bridge to let the captain know whats going on. More blast rock serenity. Loose cargo, slides about and falls off selves. Kat wonders, if the reavers were attacking. She quickens her pace hoping that the captain had a plan)

the reaver ship detaches from SERENITY, and leaves the area.
SHADOW runs to the bridge.
"O2, open up."
the door unlocks then opens.
"O2, hail the INDEPENDENCE."
O2 raises the INDY.
CAPTAIN HILO answers:
"INDEPENDENCE HERE, CAPTAIN HILO at your service."
SHADOW:
"thanks. how'd you know we needed help?"
HILO:
"we didn't, but we had a good idea. AQUILA control picked up a reaver raiding party on the edge of their radar reception range, heading your way.
SENSEI OJIN diverted us from our original mission - escorting the colony fleet leaving COLONY STATION 1.
they where heading to one of the moons near AQUILA.
now they'll have to wait for us to get back. OJIN doesn't want the fleet of new colonists to be 'easy game' for reavers."
SHADOW:
"so, how'd you get clearance from the ALLIANCE to mount all those guns?"
HILO:
"well, the ALLIANCE lost a lot of medical personnel in a big explosion at their main med facility on ARIEL -
i'm sure you had nothing to do with that.
so OJIN cut a deal basically:
we ship out doctors to them - and they give us permission to 'arm' 2 transport ships for use as colony escorts.
plus the ALLIANCE likes to look like their protecting their citizens."
SHADOW:
"...and a good thing for us.
by the way, how'd you get that name?"
HILO:
"it's the name of the island my family came from back on 'earth that was', many years ago.
well, lets get that ship of yours, TRANQUILITY, fixed up. you're welcome to stay and help if you like.
OJIN may ask you to help escort the colonists when we're done fixin' TRANQUILITY.
he still can 'arm' 1 more ship... that is if you and your crew are up for it!?"
SHADOW:
"shiny, i'll talk to my crew and see were we stand. SHADOW out."
SHADOW walks to the galley, pulls up a chair and waits for company.
KAT comes into the galley, after checking the bridge for the captain, and tells SHADOW about OREO.
the two run down to see what the situation is.
a piece of the destroyed reaver ship 'clangs' against the hull.

........Shiny still Dreaming.....
As shiny's sitting on the rock
over looking the ocean. She feels
a great calm.
But all of a sudden the sky gets dark
black clouds start rolling in.
She starts hearing thunders in the distance
and see's lighting. It's getting louder as it gets closer.
Shiny gets up and starts running
looking for shelter but there's none.
the sky opens up and starts raining hard
lighting is striking all around her
the wind is blowing hard
she's having a hard time seeing her way
she's wet and cold
she's stranded alone and scared.
Shiny wakes up out of her dream, sweating
and scared. her heart is racing.
the dream seemed all to real.
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.
