Ojin acknowledges Captain Shadows 'com and proceeds to scramble an alert pilot.
Ojin to Serenity pilot:
"Kodiak, as soon as Oreo is on Tranquility, launch Serenity and draw the Alliance cruiser
in the opposite direction.
Both Serenity and Tranquility have the same markings - 獨立.
The Alliance will pursue the fleeing Firefly long enough to let Tranquility escape.
Wait for the signal."

(Inside the evacuation tunnel a guard is sitting behind a computer monitoring it)
Guard- Major,Sir, i'm picking up movement inside the staff elevator.
Major- Where there any scheduled maintence logged for today.
(the guard open a log page on the computer)
Guard- ummm...none sir.
Major- open a com channel to the elevator.
Guard- done sir.
***Major***
Attention, you are in direct violation of code, no is to use the staff elevator without permission. Stop the elevator now and return to level 5.
***ends com***
(A few moments go by and no re-ply)
***Major***
I will repeat, return to level 5 or you will be shot on site. Do you comply?
***ends com***
Major- I want you and your men down to the elevator, if those doors open, shot.
Guard- Aye Major!
(The guard leaves the room and rounds up the others and make their way to the elevator.)
guards- I want all weapons trained, orders are shoot first and ask later.
(with weapons cocked and ready the small unit wait as the elevator makes it final decent. With a brief pause the doors open and the guards open fire. smoke from their barrels and smoke from circuts begins fired quickly engulf the samll tunnel. When the last bullet has flown, the guards reload and advance. )
(Major coms)
***Major***
Status....
***Ends***
(the guards pulls a com out of his pocket)
***Guard***
A lot of smoke still sir, but if they're was anyone in here, i'm pretty sure he isn't happy...
Oreo- You got that right!
(Oreo jumps down from atop of the elevator and begins his assault. Grabbing guards and tossing them about as if they were mere toys. The smoke still thick, but scream cutting through it like a hot knife cutting through butter.
(Guard coms)
***Guard***
SIR! IT'S BIG!
***ENDS COM***
Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.

Shiny tired of sitting by herself unstraps herself and quickly makes her way to where Michael and the twins are. She sits down and straps in again.
Shiny, "I didn't wanna miss out on all the fun."
The twins laugh."
Michael glances in the twins direction then looks back down at his device.
Shiny, starts rambling about how she thinks where
waiting for Oreo before we leave. and how she hopes they get outta there before the Alliance finds us.
Michael looks at shiny and smiles.
knowing she's try to attempt some type of small talk.
Shiny smiles back and asks him.
Shiny, "So Michael, Have any interesting stories
To Tell?"
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

SHADOW still stands at the open cargo bay door,
waiting for OREO to show up at the dock where TRANQUILITY is ready for take-off.
* remembering *
'this reminds me of my 1st day trying to fill a crew, exactly 1 year ago, standing outside TRANQUILITY on PERSEPHONE.
words of TRAQUILITYS 1st passenger echo in the captains head -
PIRATECAT:
"Permission to come aboard sir. I've been out of the world a bit. I have my book and some rosemary.
Both can go along way in time. I hope this is the right ship."
back on AQUILA:
* THINKING *
OREO, OREO, wherefore art thou OREO?
O2 on the bridge decodes a strange wave from the cortex:

Michael looks up at Shiny, suspicious and resignation on his face. He speaks odd words, even for him:
"Forget not, in your speed, Antonius,
To touch Calpurnia; for our elders say,
The barren, touched in this holy chase,
Shake off their sterile curse.
Who is it in the press that calls on me?
I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music,
Cry 'Caesar!' Speak; Caesar is turn'd to hear.
Beware the Ides of March..."
He flourishes his hand, ending in a pointing finger at Shiny.
"A soothsayer bids you beware the Ides of March!"

Major- I want a full Facility Alert! NOW!
(Alarms begin to sound)
Major- Call every guard we have to get down here on the double!
***Guard***
Sir! He's taken us all out and is heading towards the hangars...Sir...Sir...arrrrrrgh!
***Com ends abruptly***
(the major slames his hands onto the desk)
Major-Just what in the world are we dealing with here?!
(Oreo, takes off in a deep sprint towards the end of the tunnel. Sercurity cameras following his every step. A few guards enter the room where the major is desperatly trying to watch all the montiors)
Guard- Sir, we've come...
(The major grabs the one of the guards and throws him towards the montiors)
Major- You, watch the screen and keep track of that intruder.
(The guards head quickly begins bouncing from one screen to another)
Guard- he's moving so fast.
(Oreo finally stops at the end of the tunnel. A big steel door in front of him with the words "Hanger Bay: Personel only" painted across it.) Oreo opens it and steps inside, finding himself atop a flight of stairs staring down at Tranquility. The captain standing outside of her with Kat pacing back and fourth. Loud foot steps begins to echo behind Oreo, he quickly turns around and in the distance dozens of Armed guards are heading towards him with the major leading in front. Oreo quickly slams the door shut and locks it and begins down the stairs)
Kat- Captain! Look! is that Oreo?!
(The Captain inches forward abit to get a better look)
Captain- kat get inside and tell o2 to get Tranquility Fired up!
Kat- Why the rush?
Captain- He's running. (the captain turns and begins to run inside himself. When he's running like that, i find it best to not ask questions!
(The capatian and kat re-enter tranquility. Captain posting himself just inside of the cargo ready to close it as soon as oreo gets onbaord, kat quickly making her way to the bridge. Midway, shiny see's Kat)
Shiny- What's going on?
Kat- We gotta go!
Shiny- But Oreo...
Kat He's here!
Shiny- turns and runs for the cargo bay.
(Back in the hangar, Oreo is blazing down the stairs skipping two and three at a time, the captain shouting from the cargo bay)
Captain- MOVE IT!
(Shiny joins the captian and sees Oreo coming down the stairs, but shes also notices Guards coming as well.)
Shiny- LOOK OUT!
(Guards stop and begins firing there weapons.Oreo temporarily stops to duck under some steel grating.)
Major- I want him stopped and put a land lock on that ship!
(Oreo continues down the stairs, bullets buzzing by overhead. Oreo looks over the side and pulls back.)
Shiny-Where did he go? Did he get hit?
(The captain strains to see if he can find Oreo. Suddenly A figure is hurled over the edge of the railng)
Captian- There! He's making a jump for!
(Oreo lands onto a pile of rubber insulation, cushioning his landing. He stands up and dashes for the ship. bullets begins dancing all around him. Oreo, dodge this way and that. The captain presses a button the cargo bay door begins to closes)
Shiny- Too soon, he won't make!
Captain- He'll make it!
(As the visual of the outside begins to shrink a hand quickly grabs ahold of the bay door, then another until the figure of oreo pulls himself up and sliding down the door could be seen. The door finally shuts and the captain and shiny rush to oreo aid)
Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.

********(BEFORE OREO RETURNS TO THE SHIP)*********
Shiny for a moment is taken back by Michael.
Then Shiny speaks,
"Set him before me; let me see his face.
Fellow, come from the throng; look upon Caesar.
What say'st thou to me now? speak once again.
Beware the ides of March.
He is a dreamer; let us leave him: pass."
Shiny smiles, "my mother read Shakespeare to me as a child, from an old book that was believed to be from the Earth that was. My mother loved collecting old books for our Library."
Shiny's smile fades as she looks at Michael,
" I'm only trying to be your friend is all and I'm not good at small talk, I don't mean to make you uncomfortable, Sorry."
At that moment she hears the captain yell her name. Shiny unbuckles herself and Joins the Captain and Kat. She watches Oreo making a mad dash to the ship.
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

SHADOW sees OREO just make it into the ship as the bay door closes.
SHADOW 'coms SENSEI OJIN:
"now SENSEI!"
OJIN gives the order to TRANQUILITYS sistership - SERENITY:
"captain KODIAK, launch now."
SERENITY fires her thrusters and takes off, to draw the ALLIANCE cruiser away from TRANQUILITY
OJIN responds to the ALLIANCE officers order to 'land lock' TRANQUILITY:
"belay that order!"
MAJOR:
"WHAT?!"
OJIN:
"MAJOR, you have no jurisdiction here.
TENGOKU has been designated a 'holy city', the holiest city on AQUILA.
i suggest that you and the 'hit squad' that you came here with, leave at once, and perhaps i shall not report this desecration to your superiors."
