"...'aven't done nothin' wrong... LATELY, Cap'n. If'n ye remember, Oi was on the lamb for smugglin' when Oi came aboard with that disk. But Oi got a stay outta jail free card..."
Michael opens a small case, and takes out a small bottle, drops a few drops in each eye, and holler's like he's been shot.
"That's 'otter than the devil's outhouse in summer! Whoa! Thees 'ere is liquid caffeine, makes the eyes dialate something fierce, feels like theys gonna walk away on me. But moi retina's so stretched and puckered for the next day or so, no scanner made would ID me."
He slips on some dark goggles and shakes his head.
"Tha's better. Now Oi see a big dark blur, not a big white blur. Let's go."

shiny in disbelief, watches Michael as he puts the drops in his eye's. She stares at him for a few seconds.
Then she walks over to Oreo,"You trust me not to drop You?"
Oreo, "You Drop me and Your coming to."
Shiny smirks. "it's kinda tempting."
Shiny looks over at Terry, "you wanna help me
get a pulley system together, Theirs cable in the cargo bay."
Shiny walks with terry to the cargo bay and they start putting some useful supplies in a pile.
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

Michael sits in the co-pilots seat across from Wash.
"Ah Hancock, Oi've been 'ere afore, ages ago."
Wash looks over at him.
"Yea, what brought you to a backwater like Hancock?"
Michael doesn't respond. He doesn't even blink.
*********************************
Mikhail Semyonov, now a full agent of the Alliance, walks up the hill towards Hancock with his 'brothers', the two other agents in his team. The mission was straight-forward. Locate a particularly loud and convincing Independence activist, find a quiet place to stop his heart and silence his voice.
Mikhail tugged at the blue gloves of his blue hermetically-sealed undersuit. He'd not quite gotten used to it yet.
"Mike, you take out the target, we'll deal with the witnesses and any recording devices. We'll blame it on Reavers, so make the violence look *ahem* passionate." Mike just nodded curtly, as the three men in black suits walked into the town's main saloon. There sat the target, poor fool. Mike walked over and puts a gloved hand on the man's shoulder and speaks in his crisp, neutral tone:
"Three by three, we shall set you free."
Carnage ensued.
******************************************
Wash leans over and taps Michael on the shoulder.
"Hey, you alright? You were saying as how you've been to Hancock before..."
The glare Michael turns on Wash makes him back off, a bit frightened. Then the look is gone, and Michael's usual sardonic smile is back.
"Sorry lad, bad memory. No, Oi've never been to Hancock. But Oi knew a scary feller that came here once, ages ago. How long till we land?"

the captain walks on to the bridge as MICHAEL and WASH finish their conversation.
"bring her down just over those hills WASH.
MICHAEL, get your things. we have a long walk before we get to our 1st stop."
SHADOW points out the window of the bridge.
"you can see HANCOCK just before the horizon."
SHADOW 'coms SHINY:
"SHINY, get TERRY to help you set up the winch in the cargo bay.
if that isn't working, you'll have to lower OREO and pull him back up by hand... which isn't happening."

Michael rummages through the mess in his bunk, tosses his usual bowler hat aside, and dons a long duster and a very wide brimmed hat.
Out in the cargo hold, he opens his weapons case and stores his usual weapons of choice. Instead he takes out two small, black bladed knives with wrapped handles. He locks and stashes the case again.
Terry, who's helping Shiny prep the winch, notices the odd weapons and waggles his eyebrows in question.
"These 'ere are obsidian stone blades, 'and chipped by a Red Man from Earth Tha' Was. Sharper than any steel, but irreplaceable ifn they break. So Oi only use 'em when carrying steel might draw unwanted attention, metal detectors and weapon sensors look these beauties over like they was me own bones."
The knives seemingly disappear somewhere into his coat or shirt.
Shiny looked over at Michael's explanation, and now is shaking her head as she returns to working out the winch cable.
"Michael, I'm really glad you're on our side, because your right scary with your bugged out eyes and magical knife tricks. You know that right?"
" 'Every day is a negotiation. Sometimes with a gun.' " Tha's whot they say out in tha black. Oi just found that a knoif never runs short o ammo."
Shadow walks in, also dressed for a walk under the sun, and punches the comm to the bridge.
"We're ready, when you put us groundside, Wash. Be sure to keep TQ flyin' whilst we're gone."

WASH lands TRANQUILITY a mile outside of town.
SHADOW and MICHAEL begin the walk into town.
the sun and heat are already taking their toll.
"MICHAEL, you o.k.?"
