Shiny sits back Speechless.
She keeps looking at Michael then the cortex reader. She's trying to taken in everything that he just said. Shiny not knowing what to make of his story. Take a big sip of her drink.
Shiny, "Miranda u say? I've heard rumors of a place
but that's about all. I do know first hand the alliance is messing with reaver DNA. Their the ones who turned Oreo into what he is."
Shiny starts thinking about Michael and his two other brothers, seems a little much to take.
Shiny, Looks at Michael, trying to read him.
She's feeling sorry for him. But knows she's been lied to before. But still what if he's telling the truth?
Shiny try's to lighten the air, "Michael you certainly have a knack for filling the silence."
Michael glances up at shiny then back at his cortex reader.
Shiny,Maybe you should talk to the Captain and Oreo. They might know more about all this.
Shiny gets up and coms OREO and the CAPTAIN to come to the galley.
Shiny, starts getting some food out of the fridge
Shiny,"Michael you can tell them if you want, I'm leaving that up to you."
Shiny starts taken leftover food out and placing it on the stove.
Shiny,"It's about time we eat something around here. It's Mostly protein but its food."
Shiny, turns her back to Michael and starts stirring the pots. repeating the word Miranda over and over in her head. Then it hits her, She's heard it from her father. Shiny sighs and whispers, "it figures."
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

(Oreo sticks a cleaning thistle brush down the barrel)
Oreo- Hmmmm...
(Oreo pulls the brush out sticks it back within his cleaning kit and places the rifle back on the rack with the others weapons. He slowly removes himself from his bed, making sure to grab a piece of paper before exiting. Oreo, makes his way to the galley.

shiny turns around to See Oreo.
who clearly is ignoring her.
She try's to make eye contact even though she knows oreo see's her, He's acting like he don't.
Shiny exchanges looks with Michael, then turns back to the stove. the tension is thick.
Shiny debates on asking Oreo to get the dishes for her. Their too high for her to reach. She decides not to. She grabs a chair and gets them herself. when Putting the chair back shiny Shoves it into its place. Now she's getting Irritated.
Shiny, takes the food off the the stove and places it in the middle of the table.

on the bridge O2 maneuvers TRANQUILITY away from AQUILA, and into the black...
away from the 'decoy', SERENITY, who is drawing the ALLIANCE cruiser off in a different direction.
SHADOW:
"nice work... as always OUT2THEBLACK. i'm headin' to the galley,
lets go see where my crew wants to go next.
[sarcastically]:
there's just a galaxy of fun that awaits us."
as SHADOW heads down to the galley, a new alert comes over the cortex:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.asp?b=21&t=36101&m=687397#687397
the captain, walking to the galley hears shinys 'com to him and OREO.
he also hears most of the conversation coming from the galley as he approaches it from the hall.
he enters the galley and sits at the table.
SHADOW:
"hey all. MICHAEL, i heard more of your story and us headin' to MIRANDA, or any other such place,
sounds 'good a plan as any, to hide from the ALLIANCE cruiser that's lookin' for us.
'sides, we can round up more data on OREOS condition while we're there.
we'll find your brothers... long as it jives with what needs doin'.
we'll have someone analyze those disks that have you and OREO the subjects of much musin'.

Shiny walks to the engine room. She listens to the
therapeutic hum of the engine.
Shiny grabs a book then jumps into her hammock.
She lays their swinging, thinking about what Michael said.
Then thinking of her conversation with Oreo in her bunk.
Shiny's eyes get a little teary when she thinks about the folder under her pillow.
She opens the book and her pen rolls out onto her lap. She picks it up, at the top of the page she rights the date and time.
Shiny starts writing she can't write fast enough to keep up with her brain. It's been awhile since shiny wrote in her personal journal but it was much need.
She writes her thoughts hope and dreams along with what has happened over the past weeks including that time on serenity. Shiny thinking about that day, sighs and smiles she's writing feverishly lost in her words.
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

(Oreo begins a conversation with the captain)
Oreo- we gotta job yet?
Captain- I'll tell you, finding a respectable job ain't easy like it used to be...
Oreo- what about a not respectable job?
captain- You don't really pick on....nevermind.... we have other things need attending to first, once we reach miranda, we look Michael brothers and see about you.
Oreo- This piece of fei-oo has kin?
Michael- yes, two brothers actually.
Oreo- and we're going to pick them up.
Captain- that'd be the notion.
(Oreo stands up)
Oreo- gettin awfully crowd captain.
Captain- It's my ship, i'll say when it's too crowded.
(Oreo glares at michael)
Captain- where did shiny get off to.
(Oreo turns without responding and leaves)
Michael- So, why keep a person with his unique attributes on board.
(The Captain cracks a smile)
Captain- he's good with people.
Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.

Shiny's brought back to reality by the rumblings
of her stomach.
She finishes writing her thought down, then puts the pen back in her book and closes it.
Shiny gets off the hammock and walks over to her Hiding spot and puts her journal away.
She then walks to the galley. Everyone's gone.
She grabs some food from the fridge and cooks herself a meal.
Once the meal is done, Shiny sits down and starts eating and Thinking.
wondering what's really going on between her and Oreo. And About Micheal's story and the folder under her pillow.
Shiny mutters to herself out loud....
"Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie".
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

as TRANQUILITY heads to MIRANDA,
a huge solar flare erupts and blasts the ship way off course,
and into deep space, disabling her main thrusters and communications.
SHADOW has a poem come to mind:
`And now the STORM-BLAST came, and he
Was tyrannous and strong:
He struck with his o'ertaking wings,
And chased us south along.
With sloping masts and dipping prow,
As who pursued with yell and blow
Still treads the shadow of his foe,
And forward bends his head,
The ship drove fast, loud roared the blast,
The southward aye we fled.
And now there came both mist and snow,
And it grew wondrous cold:
And ice, mast-high, came floating by,
As green as emerald.

Sitting in the galley finishing up her meal,
Shiny feels the ship shaking.
She jumps up and runs to the engine room.
She pulling wires and reattaching then to diffrent parts.
when finished she runs to the the bridge telling 02 what she's doing.
She gets underneath the main console and starts rerouting the wires when done,Shiny stands up.
"OK I managed to reconfigure the control panel and the engine. We won't have a lot of power but if you fire the thrusters Gently we can control her. but... We still wont know where we are until we can get the main communications to work."
Shiny leaves the bridge and heads back to the engine room. on the way she see's Oreo. Shiny glances at Oreo and shyly smiles. "we lost our main thrusters, I managed to rewire them for the
time being but we have no communications. Well I'll be in the engine room if you wanna Talk or something."
Shiny getting a little embarrassed at her vulnerability, Awkwardly smiles then rushes back to the engine room. Shiny wonders if one of Michael devises could help them get back on course.
Shiny coms Michael and tells him of the situation
she ends the com with...."if you have anything that could help please let us know."
Shiny goes back to work on the engine.
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

(Still in the desert)
(Claire wakes up in the middle of the night. She sees Elbarto, shirtless, looking into the mirror. He seems to be looking ant his numerous scars. She gets up and tip toes as quietly as she can to Elbarto.)
El: Sorry if I woke you.
Claire: I was quiet as as mouse. How did you hear me?
El: Your breathing patterns changed.
Claire: What are you doing hun?
El: Each one of these scars tells a story, usually one of sacrifice.
( Claire drapes her arms around his neck and starts feeling his chest)
Claire: Where did you get that one?
El: I was fighting Alliance super reavers.
Claire: you want to go back to your ship don't you?
El: Yes, I love being here with my brothers, but something is missing. Will you come with me if I go back?
Claire: You know I will.
El: Then its time I call my ship.
When you can't run you crawl. When you can't do that...well...you know the rest.
