(o2 hurridley makes his way back into the facility, hoping he wasn't late. Minutes later, o2 bumpes into a crowd of security guards. Voice shouting at something or someone to" You reaver,get down or we'll shoot". o2 just laughs to himself. Shoot? You're shoot alright, but only at a wall or chair. Nine times outta ten ol'Oreo already had a plan to escape, he was just looking for the right moment.
Suddenly a voice that seemed to drown out the almost hundred bodied army could be heard. "Hey! What are you doing? Stop! NOOO!" o2 knew that other then escape that reaver had a knack for bowling over ya like a Nuclear Driven 380 starrider with upgrades in a space rally. As if moses had come back to life to part a sea, bodies again lungeing out of the way.
Quickly the figure of a pissed off half breed came into focus. o2, quickly avoiding the rushing reaver dives outta the way to avoid get trampled. Oreo kncokes over a group of doctors and a few nurses before disappearing out of site around a corner. o2 stands up to his feet, taking a quick second to check if any of the syringes had broken.
A voice comes over the med facilities P.A system. "Attention all personal, we have a rogue patient on the loose, please stay in your rooms and do not get in the way of the sercurity officers." A rush of slamming doors could be heard throughout the hallways. Within minutes the hallways were empty, except for a few guards heading for either lower or upper floors. o2 stood, not really knowing what to do, lucky the captain was getting off the elevators adjacent from where o2 was standing.
What is going on? the captain exclaimed. o2 looked up to the captain stillholding the leather scatchel with the morphine tightly. It's oreo. He's loose and somewhere in the facility. The captain rubs his forehead as if a headaches were coming on. That rotten reaver. Theres always trouble with that piece.... okay, come on, we gotta find him before anything else happens. The pair take off in stride not really knowing where to go.
Back in shiny's rooms, the nurse places the file on a deck on the other side of the room. Shiny hoping something would suddenly divert the nurse's attention from the file.not soon after she had thought it, a the captain and o2 burst i the room. "Shiny! Are you alright?", the captain says with worry in his voice. "Yeah, i'm fine. Why?" replies a wide eyed shiny. It oreo, his loose and everyone with a gun is after him. we kinda figured he'd be looking for you, so we cam here first." the captains says with a winded sigh. o2, places a hand on the captain's shoulder. We better get going. other places to look. The captain, nods his head the pair leave, with the nurse closly in tow. Shiny watches as the door closes shut, then turns her attentions to a manilla folder sitting on a desk.

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

*A clean, well-dressed young man peers into the cargo bay. His bowler is crisp black and sports a grosgrain ribbon of blue and purple. His small, round spectacles refract the searing sunlight.*

"Ahem, anyboidy aboot? Anyboidy 'ere? Oim loiking for passage an poisibly some woik along the way."

"Oi'm 'andy with a source box an kin foind Satan's Knickers on the Cortex. An' I've mingled a bit with a heapin' share of ner-do-well's, if ye need to fence them crates what you hid poorly."

"Woit's in the case? Oh, juss my wee collection o' knoives. Ne'er learned ta shoot, but Oi've stopped a few foights with a toss of the steel."

"Blimey, where'd Oi leave my manners. Michael O'Sneary be my name. Tis a mightly foine boat ye got here, Cap'n."

*O'Sneary tips his bowler in respect, but just might have a shiv in his other hand.*

As soon as the door closes Shiny jumps off the gurney and grabs the folder of the desk.
She starts looking around the room for her clothes
Dammit she says out loud, Remembering she doesn't
have any with her. She opens the folder and quickly
starts reading, It doesn't make any sense to her.

Shiny thinks to self.
"Path will no what it means."

She grabs some surgical tape and tapes the folder against her stomach she then wraps a sheet around her.
She them slowly opens the door and looks down the hallway both ways. Then starts running looking for an exit.

Shiny can hear the sound of running everywhere.
Shiny finds and exit and takes it.
Once outside shiny can see Serenity.
Shiny runs into the cargo bay and stops dead in her tracks.

Shiny, "Who are you and What are you doing Here?"

The fellow, "I'm looking for passage and already
spoke to your captain, It seems i will be traveling with yous for awhile." My names Michael O'Sneary.

Michael hold out his hand to shake shinys.
Shiny holding tight with both hands to the Sheet that's wrapped around her.

Shiny," Mines Shiny,I would shake your hand but as u can see, I can't."

Shiny starts walking out of the cargo bay.
Shiny, "I need to get some clothes on, Shiny turns around as she enters the hallway.
"If anyone comes looking for me, You haven't seen me, Have you met Oreo yet?

Michael, Shakes his head No.
Shiny, "lucky you."
shiny smiles then walks away.

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

"Oi, now doin't Oi feel ova-dressed! Quite nice to meet ya, Miss Shiny."

Michael spun on the spot, looking about, taking in the jumble of gear and kit lying about the cargo bay.

After a few moments of apparent silence, O'Sneary knelt, opened his case and selected a few smaller throwing knives that would fit easily inside his suit. The large Bowie knife, and a machete strapped to his back, he returned to the case. He closed it, spun the combo lock, and stood up. Earlier he'd noticed a narrow gap between two heavy crates. He shoved the case down between them, almost his arm's length and into the shadows.

O'Sneary walked briskly from the cargo bay into the common area the captain had pointed out earlier. He selected a seat that seemed least likely to be someone's favorite- it was a rickety ladderback chair missing a few rungs. Careful not to crease his suit, he sat, removed his bowler and hooked it on his knee, and began to whistle an old Earth-That-Was hymn.

Here was a good place to wait to meet the crew and passengers.

On the way to her temporary bunk, Shiny bumps into Kat in the hallway. Kat looks shiny up and down and starts laughing.

Shiny,"Kat can I borrow some clothes, I left mine Back on Tranquility."

Kat, Yeah, there's in a suitcase in my bunk.

KAt and Shiny heading towards Kats bunk.

Shiny," Have you met our new passenger?

Kat,"we have a new passenger? were not even on our own ship yet. who is it.

Shiny, Micheal's his first name. He has a funny
accent and wearing a tattered LT ribbon, A Strange Bird really.

Kat looks at Shiny and rolls her eyes,
"birds of a feather"
Shiny chuckles, Yeah.

They both arrive at kats bunk
Kat hands Shiny some clothes.

Shiny, "Thanks."
Kat leaves so shiny can finish getting dressed

Once shinys dressed she walks to Oreo's bunk
She lifts up the mattress and takes the Item
and puts it in the back her pants and pulls her shirt down over it.

Shiny leaves the ship, She needs to find Oreo.

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

SHADOW brings the disk with the downloaded medical data from PATHFINDER,
to the room where OREO is restrained and heavily sedated.
SHADOW walks up next to the half reaver.
SHADOW:
"hang in there my friend, we may have new data on a cure for you."
OREO looks up groggily:
"the... brief...case...i was the one...drugged bane... on ARIEL...the case...a box...a hidden...compartment...operation colour schemer..."
SHADOW:
"i'm on it."

SHADOW hands the disk to the doctor, leaves the room and starts walking back to SERENITY at the cave docks.
on the way there, SHADOW is intercepted by SENSEI OJIN.
OJIN:
"SHADOW, i have received word that your ship TRANQUILITY is breaking atmo' and should be docking here shortly."
SHADOW:
"thanks for everything."
SHADOW turns to go...
OJIN:
"Beware of greeks bearing gifts."
SHADOW:
"xie-xie."

SHADOW returns to SERENITY and sees MICHAEL sitting in the galley.
SHADOW pulls up a chair across the room from MICHAEL, spins it around backwards,
and sits down - arms leaning on the back.
SHADOW:
"ok MICHAEL, tell me your story."

meanwhile, back at the ARIEL SAFEHOUSE,
PATHFINDER catches DR. BANE.
a struggle ensues.
finally BANE is restrained and an interrogation begins.

"....'E said yoid be to the point, but Oi didna expect yee'd be asking me ta spill moi 'ole story so sudden like. Ah, well, if it'll git me oiff this rock...."

"Oi was small time, farin' to make coin enough to be fed and dress respectable-loike. Confidence joibs, some smugglin' juss loike I hear you an yourn take on."

"Well then aboot two cycles ago, Oi took a job movin' some supplies for a crooked pharma warehouse crew. Good money in medical supplois, an no questions asked by the needin' customers on backwoiter rocks. 'Tween runs, oi get this broadwave about some planet noimed Miranda and some stuff called G-23 Paxilon Hydrochlorate. Oi recognized the noime from one a the crates Oi was totin'. So, gainst better judgement, Oi toik a loik at the data disk what came with the crates."

"'The devil's own silk drawers!' Oi declared when Oi saw the disk contents. It were the chemical composition of G-23 Paxilon Hydrochlorate, detailed proicess for the makin', and manufacturin' and storage facilities what held current stock o' the stuff! All under the heading 'Operation ColourSchemer', for what it's woarth."

"Fate 'as a sense of cruel humor, since no soiner than Oi knewed what Oi had, Alloince docket ship waves moi ship, claoiming Oi'z haulin illegal goods. So Oi stowed the disk safe-like, and toik a fair beatin' for the medical supplois what they confiscated. Goit me a record now. Figgur them warehouse sneaks what ratted me out."

"'Cept noaw Oi think they was loiking for that disk, an moight do worse than beat me and put moi name on some databais if'n they foind it."

"Alloince trouble ain't no regular trouble, so if yourn crew'd rather Oi keep movin', Oi'll take your leave an Mary bless ye all. But yours the first ship what seemed like Oi might fit in, be of use and stay inconspicuous-like. What say you, Cap'n?"

your story seems to jive with what i know of our little piece of the 'verse.
figured you may be 'on the shoot' when you came lookin' for passage,
but 'long as you stay right as rain with my crew, we'll get on famously.
so welcome aboard.
our real home ship, TRANQUILITY, is landing as we speak, so we'll all board her,
'soon as OREO is out of the infirmary.
i'm here to tell ya: this G-23 disk is gonna bring my crew and i a galaxy of fun but lets see where the path leads.

SHADOW walks over to the refrigerator, moves a bottle of 151 into the ravenwood chest and reaches for the last bottle of ginger beer.
he slides the bottle across the table to MICHAEL.

SHADOW:
"if you drink it slowly, it will last longer."

(Flashback of Oreo at 10 years old playing with his father in a beautiful park.)

young skye: come on daddy chase me!

Father: Not to far Skye, you dont want to get lost.

young skye: dont worry, i won't...

(Suddnely The flashback turns into a nightmare.The sky turns dark. instantly skye finds himself alone.)

young skye: Daddy?! Where Are you?! Daddy?!

(Skye begins to run, but only into darkness. skye stops and drops to his knees and begins to cry.)

young skye: Where are you daddy?!

(As if time sped up. Skye is suddenly his normal self. Surrounded by Alliance Doctors. He also finds himself strap down to an operating table. Fears fills Oreo's eyes. He watches the doctors talking, but can't hear the words come out. A nurse, that seemed to just appear out of thin air covers oreos eyes with a blind fold. It's dark. Darker then any space. Darker then any evil thought.No sound, except for Oreos heavy breathing. No sound, no light. Oreo tries reaching out in front of him to feel his way around. nothing but emptiness, nothing but...a smell. What smell? The smell of...Death. Suffering. Reavers! Reavers surround Oreo, snarling, and screeching. The smell of blood all around. Oreo turns in circles. surrounded! Then suddenly, face to face with a mirror image of himself. No reavers. no Alliance. just Himself and Himself starring back at him. Oreo moves in closer confused. Was it a mirror or was it actually him. Oreo stops, nose to nose with himself.)

Oreo- Who are you?

(The mirror image says nothing, just stares back at oreo. Oreo frustrated, oreo asks again)

Oreo- WHO ARE YOU?!

( Within a blink of eye the mirror image has a gun pressed to Oreo's forehead)

Mirror Oreo- Who am I? Is it clear to see? I'm You.

(The mirror image pulls the trigger firing a bullet through oreo forehead, but it wasn't blood spilling out the back. No, not blood, but, memories. Memories of family, past friends, enemies, crew mates, life...and what hes become. suddenly faints voices can be heard)

Voice- Clear!...Okay, take it up to 8. Reading....Clear!

(bright lights begin taking focus as oreo begins to his eyes. Doctors and nurse surround him, giving sighs of relief. One doctor in general llleans down towards Oreo)

Doctor- Welcome back Oreo. It's a good thing too, your cpatain probably would've had us shot if we lost you.

(Oreo blinks a few times and dozes off quitely whispering)

Oreo- Shiny...Captain...kat...o2...El...Tranquili......

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