(Shiny opens her eyes. beads of sweat racing down her face. her body in pain, but the pain from her dream hurt even more. she turns her head and notices oreo curled in a corner asleep, blood on his shirt and hands.a needle hanging loosely from Oreos "heart" area. serval others littered about the floor around him. a tear forms and falls from her eye.)
Shiny(whispers to herself)- I hope you didn;t do it.
(again, she turns her head and dazes off into nothingness. So many thoughts racing through her head. She can remember when she first came aboard serenity. shiny begins having flashbacks)
Captain- So you're a mechanic? Kind of a young'en ain't you?
Shiny- I just seem to have a knack for fix'in engines. They talk to me.
(Captain stares at shiny in confusion)
Captain- they talk to you?
Shiny- yeah, you know. They let me know when they're sick, they let we know when things are alright...
Captain- Well if you can get this engine fixed and goin, you can talk to it all you like.
(Shiny smiles at the comment, knowing there was a little skeptisivem behind.)
(Shiny snaps back to reality after hearing a noise at the infirmary doors. The captain and kat peer through the window at shiny and then at Oreo. The captain slowly opens the doors and begins whispering to kat)
Captain- okay, we'll tie him and put'em in lock up still we can get him some help.
(shiny stars at the ceiling, mustering up as much energy as she can.)
Shiny- its okay...he's dead
(Kat walks careful over to oreo, checking his vitals)
Kat- Not dead. But it looks like he pumped enough morphine into his body to knock him out.
captain- He used all the morphine?!
(kat limps over and checks the drawer the the morphine shots where contained in)
Kat- Theres a few left. enough to at least get shiny to a med facility.
Captain-oaky. kat get to the bridge and have o2 plot a course to aquila, we'll get shiny to a doctor, hopefully get one for Oreo. get you checked out as well, then go back to Gui'jin and get Tranquility.
(kat turns and limps out of sight heading towards the brigde)
(captain turns back to shiny)
captain- how you fairing?
Shiny- I don't know. I have nightmares. I'm scared.
(The captain takes hold of shiny's hand)
Captian- It's good to be scared. person don't know fear ain't human. You're human. You been through alot for a genius mechanic.BUt we're heading to aquila and we'll get you a doctor and have you talking to enignes in no time.
Shiny- you're a good captain.
Captain- No i'm not, i mean, old and like to drink on an occassion or another.
(Shiny flashes a grin but the grin quickly fades. shes turns her head back to Oreo)
Shiny- he's getting worse. so much more worse.
(Captain tightens his grip on shinys hand)
Captain- Shiny, I can go about tellin you how to live your life, but i think it best you stay away from him.
(Shiny tries to pull her hand away, but her lack of energy hinders her attempt)
Shiny- why? he won't hurt me.
Captain- and you're probably right, seeing as how he didn't tear you to piece being locked in here with him, ut still i can't take that chance. He needs to be helped, but for us and him is to keep him locked up still we reach aquila.
(shiny looks back up towards the ceiling)
Shiny- he'll probably escape. He's good at that.
Captain- I'm under the notion that he won't. Could've gotten out here easy enough if he wanted to.
(The captain rests shiny's hand back down by her side and walks over to oreo picking him up. after a few struggles the captain manages and begins to walk out of the infirmary.Shiny suddenly speaks out, asking the captain a question)
Shiny- Captain?
(Captain turns around)
Captian- yeah.
(Shiny hesitates at first)
Shiny- do you thinks he's scared?
(Captain lets out a sigh)
Captian- I don't reckon so. Man who been through what he's been through. The things he's seen and done. Figure there wouldn't be nothing left to be scared of.
Shiny-....not....human.
(The captain sifts his eyes away and back

Shiny lays in the empty room staring at the ceiling,thinking....
The Captains words keep playing over and over
in her mind.
Shiny knows he's right.
Oreo is dangerous and unpredictable, shiny
looks over to the space Oreo was, she looks at the needles on the floor.
Shiny turns her head back.
She asks herself, Is he capable of love?
or is he driven by Impulse only?
She's feeling conflicted.
She's knows she should stay away from Oreo
but she doesn't want to break his trust.
Shiny knows what she has to do, this time
she's following her head,
her heart gets her into trouble.
shiny takes a deep breath.
She can't wait to get moving around again.
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

SHADOW goes to the bridge as O2 plots a course to AQUILA.
SHADOW thinks:
* i don't know how 1 reaver can rattle my brain pan more than 50 of them... but he does.*
SHADOW searches the cortex for the newest broadcast of VERSESIGNAL386.

(the med team enters the infirmary. Doc.t hokowa gives directions to the rest of his staff to gently pick up shiny and place her on a rolling gerny)
Hokowa- Okay, gently now. We must hurry, the poison that reavers use tend to faster if the host body is active.
(doc turns to the capt who is standing in the infirmary door way)
Doc- you did well. By all accounts,she should be dead. But i'm pretty sure with the medical supplies we have here and time,she'll pull through with little to no side effects.
(Captain unfolds his arms and walks up to Hokowa)
Captain- Little to no side effects?
Hokowa- Well, reaver poisons tends to directly attack the nervous system causing lose of body functions, arms, legs and the like. But it's only temperary.
Captain- that doesn't sound to bad.
Hokowa- Its gets bad. The poison is made up of severly elements. but so far only to have been identified.
Captain- and those to elements are?
Hokowa- the first is a nerve agent called syndigide. its basically a drug that dope a victim, sends then to a happy before the real effects begin.
Captain- and the second...
Hokowa- Erythrocytes of Revictus Humanius.
(The captain shoots Hokowa a stupified look. Hokawa rolls his eyes and adjusts his stance.)
Hokowa- Reavers are using their own red blood cells in their poisons.
Captain- What!
Hokowa-Those lucky enough when ejected,die. and those unlucky, we've been noticing some adverse affects.
Captain- Adverse affects. How do you mean?
Hokowa- Well, in some previous cases, victims became very hostile, violent, but all ended with suicide. in one very special case, the victim began turning.
Captain- Into a reaver?
Hokawa- the victim developed what we have come to call "Reaver Vamperism". Basically, the victim had more of a thirst for blood then human flesh.
Captain- What about cutting into his/her skin?
Hokowa- Very little. The victim, for the most part had the same symptoms of an old earth that was myth of a Vampire or Dracula. Sensitivty to lights, hunger for blood and so on. The victim lived for about a month, before meeting the same fate as the others.
Captain- Do you think that could happen to shiny?
Hokowa- Well you did a fine job supressing it, so, we should be able to knock it out of her.
Captain- and Oreo.
Hokowa- Oreo?! Oreo is...Special. From what little information i have on him, he's more like a werewolf. able to change from his human form to reaver. Guess the alliance wanted him to be able to blend in. But, seeing as how i don't know exactl what they did to him, I have to say there is no way to make him better, all i can do is help him manage it. You want a cure, you'll have to take that up with the Alliance.So for right now, We'll get in and start taking care of shiny, i'll have Oreo put in a maxium lock-up with security at all hours until i can get to him. Hopefully that'll keep everyone safe.
(Hokowa and the captain exit the ship and enter the med facility)
Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.

Shiny opens her eyes. She doesn't recognize
where she's at. she hears faint voices.
She looks at one of the assistants.
Shiny,"where am I?
Assistants, " don't talk, your in good hands
we need you save your energy."
The doctor grabs a needle and starts injecting shiny.
She feels a burning sensation running through her veins.
She Hears the captains voice in the background talking with someone.
Shiny can only hears a few broken sentences.
But it sounds like the Captain is worried
that Shiny could turn reaver.
Shiny feeling sick try's to yell out to the captain but it only comes out to a whisper.
the assistant doctor, puts his hand on shiny's arm
Assistant Doctor, You need to relax.
the doctor gets another needle and injects shiny in the arm.
Shiny, What happened to me?
At that point the Doctor that was talking to the
captain walks over to shiny.
Hokowa, "You where shot by reavers with a poison dart".
Shiny groggy and getting sleepy fast, asks,
"am i a reaver? Shiny drifts off to sleep
before the doctor can answer.
Shiny starts having nightmares....
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

security guard 1- STUN HIM! HE GET OUT!
security guard 2- SECURE THE ROOM NOW!
(Oreo has come to. finding himself in the middle of 12 security bodies. He begins attacking everything unfamilar to him. grabbing a security guard by his arm and slamming him into a wall. A guard closet to a com right next to the cell door calls in for more enforcement)
Door Guard- WE NEED MORE MEN DOWN HERE QUICK!
(Voice over the com)
Whats going on down there!
Door Guard- THAT HALF BREED WE TOOK IN FROM SHADOW CAPTAINS CREW IS GOING WOOLY! HE'S ALREADY TAKEN OUT FIVE MEN! WE MANAGED TO CORNER HIM, BUT I DON'T THINK THATS GOING HOLD HIM!
(VOICE OVER COM)
STAND-BY!
(A klaxon alert begins to sound throughout the facility)
Captain- What in the verse is going on?!
(A med staff memeber running by responds)
Staff memeber- We've been hit by reavers!
Captain- Reaver? Here?
(The captain stands confused.)
Captain(talking to himself)- The defenses here alone can handle any reaver attack...
(The captain suddenly realizes, that its not reavers, but, reaver.)
Captain- OREO!
(The captain takes off running in the direction all the sercuity personel is running in. Not to far down the hallway o2 catches up to the captain)
o2- ITS OREO!
Captain- TELL ME SOMETHING I DON"T KNOW! WE GOTTA GET TO HIM BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE HAPPENS! GO FIND AS MUCH MORPHINE AS YOU CAN CARRY!
o2- MORPHINE!
Captain- IT'S THE ONLY THING SHORT OF KILLING HIM, THAT'LL KNOCK HIM OUT! GET GOING!
(Back in the cell, the room fills with security guards. Oreo, still back into a corner, watching all the movement going on, like a animal waiting to pounce upon it's Prey)
Oreo(In a deep voice)- Where is the girl?! Where is Shiny?!
Security Guard 34(Pointing his weapon towards Oreo)- STAND DOWN!
Oreo- I will find her! You can take her from me! SHINY!
Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.

Shiny continues to have a recurring nightmare
Of being chased in the dark.
Its the same thing over and over again.
It's pitch black out.
She has no Idea were she's at or
who's chasing her.
Right before she gets caught, she falls, gets up and starts running all over again.
But this time she feels someone grab her, and shouts her name, "SHINY"!
Shiny wakes up and sits up instantly she's sweating
her adrenaline is pumping. Without thinking she starts pulling out all the tubes in her arms.
she starts to swing her legs of the gurney, forgetting that thas was impossiable to do hours ago. A nurse comes running over.
Nurse, "what are you doing?!"
Shiny, "I need to find My Captain and Oreo".
Nurse, " you can't do that, the doctor says you
still need your rest!
Shiny looks at the Nurse, "you'd better lower your tone, I'm in no mood.
Sides I've had enough rest to last a life time.
Shiny tries to stand up but gets dizzy.
The nurse grabs shiny.
Nurse, You can't leave, not yet!
Shiny see's people running past the doorway.
Shiny, "whats going on?"
Nurse, "We seem to be having a problem with
a reaver".
Shiny worried, "he's not a reaver! he's Oreo,
My....my crew mate. I need to see him.
Nurse,"No you don't your staying here".
The nurse guides shiny back onto the gurney.
Shiny mad ,but knowing she's in no position to argue lays back down.
Shiny, "Nurse Am I infected with reaver blood?
Nurse, "reaver blood cells and yes You where, but I'm pretty sure we took care of it, But we still need to monitor you closely".
Shiny, pretty sure?.
Nurse," the doctor will let you know more details
when all the test results come back.
The nurse, starts hooking the tubes back into shiny.
Shiny lays there in defeat, Missing Oreo.
Shiny thinking, gorram Oreo, Why can't I get you outta my head.
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

SHADOW and O2 run back to SERENITY to get the morph.
O2 checks the bridge while SHADOW gets the medicine from the medlab.
SHADOW returns to the bridge and sees O2 reading a transmission from PATHFINDER at the ARIEL SAFE HOUSE.
SHADOW:
"O2, here, you take this morph back to the doctors for OREO, i'll download these results of OREOS tests,
and bring them back as soon as they finish downloading."
SHADOW turns back to the screen and waits for the download to finish.
he hears a noise...

Shiny lays on the gurney lost in her thoughts,
When Doctor Hokowa walks in.
Doctor Hokowa walks over to the nurse,
He's holding a folder and talking quietly
to the nurse. they both glance over at Shiny.
Shiny,"So Doc you gonna tell whats going on?
Doctor Hokowa walks over to Shiny, He opens
The folder and looks at Shiny.
He grabs a stool and sits next to the gurney.
Shiny,"Doc just tell me Plain and simple. Is reaver running threw my veins?"
Doctor Hokowa, "most of your tests came back negative. But one is inconclusive, We need to run more tests." The Doctor gets up walks over to the nurse and hands her the folder. Looks at shiny
and walks out the door. The nurse walks over to shiny and starts drawing more blood.
Shiny," which test in inconclusive?
The nurse glances at the door then at shiny.
"It's nothing to be concerned about, I'm sure
once we run more tests we'll find nothing."
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.
