(shiny and Oreo are standing in the walkway when a voice cuts through the chaos)
Voice- Whats going on! Hello!
(Shiny turns in the direction of the voice and begins running. only after a few feet she enters the infirmary to see the captain sitting up holding his side)
Shiny- captain? you're awake.
Captain- what in the hell is going on? why is the ships power off.
Shiny- Alliance. they're getting ready to board us.
Captain- Hu dahn. Ok, get everyone in the cargo hold, now!
(shiny bolts outta the room. rushing to find oreo and get to wash. the captain braces himself and slide off the gerney and onto the floor. after a few long minutes he emerges from the infirmary. walking with a slight limp from the pain and heads to the cargo hold.finally reaching the stairs, he decsends down, his eyes glancing over to the other set of stairs and seeing shiny and wash coming down as well.)
Captain- Where's Oreo?
Shiny- I don't know.
Captain- Well has anyone seen the gorram idiot!
Shiny- i was standing with him before i came into the infirmary. after i left to get wash, i wasn't there.
Wash- i haven't seen since he was on the bridge a few hours ago.
Captain- that damn reaver is going to do something stupid. i know it. okay, when the alliance boards, don't speak unles spoken to. dong ma?
Wash and Shiny- yep. got it.
(Suddenly a jolt rocks the ship)
CCaptain- i take it our guests have arrived.
(After a few moments, a loud thunk of alliance official knocking on the outter bay door. the captain motions for wash to open it. wash struggles a moment with the heavy door but gets it open. 4 alliance guards rush in, weapons trained on the two. The high brass alliance official steps, while motioning for wash to rejoin his crew.)
A.Brass- I am Lt. Jason Alexander Harvo. And i pretty sure you're wondering as to the nature of this visit?
Captain- The thought has entered my mind,yes.
Harvo- Well (lifts up a clipboard and flips a page), captain Shadow. This is nothing more then a routine inspection. Lucky You. We dont normal get this old firefly ship this far out in the black. and from what it seems like, you've had more then one run in with the alliance.
Captain- We have and we've been on the striaght and narrow since then.
Harvo- I'm sure you have.
Captain- So, is this your crew. seems a bit,small. I have a document listing at least 9 crew member. (the Lt begins reading names).
Kat Jordson
Elbarto
Michael
Terry Yu
Storm and summer
o2
Pathfinder
and
Oh, the alliance weapon Operation reaver Echo One.
Tell me, what happened to Echo One?
Captain- Wow, i figured with you being all high alliance brass you would know.
Harvo- Captain, i have no time for games. Now you can either answer my very simple question or rot in a prison cell while i have orders carried out to dismantle this piece of scrap metal.
Shiny- SCRAP METAL!
Captain- Shut Up Shiny...
Shiny- but captain, did you...
Captain- Quiet.
(the captain focuses his attention back to harvo)
Captain- He's dead.
Harvo-(very drool) He's dead?
Captain- Back on silas 5, he stayed behind so we could escape and so he could make sure that whole damn place went up.
(Harvo cracks his neck and shifts his weight from one side to the other)
Harvo- well, isn't the hero of the hour. ruttin waste of alliance time and money that one was. so,tell me captain, my men won't find any of these people on this ship will they?
Captain- if they do, then they're real good at playin hide and seek cause i didn't know they were here.
Harvo- cute captain. but i'm not here to be entertained by some space trach independant.these people better not be on board.
Captain- I'm sure you find them to be else where.
(Hours go by and slowly the allinace soldiers return to the cargo hold)
A.guard 1- nothing sir. no ones on board but these three.
A.Guard 2,3and 4- Same here sir.
Harvo- anything illegal?
A.guard 3- just a few outted documents for the ship.
(Harvo glares at the captain)
Harvo- well, capt

(wash returns to the bridge and shiny takes off in search of oreo the captain sits himself down atop a cargo crate.)
Captain- My sky is gettin awful crowded these days.
(Suddenly a thought enters the captain head. he reaches into the pocket of his browncaot and pull out his com.)
Captain- Oreo, if you would so kinda remove yourself from the ventalation shaft I would kinda appreciate it.
(in an instant the metal grate just ahead of the captain crashes down onto the floor of the cargo hold and oreo jumps down. The captain coms shiny to join them in the cargo hold.)
Shiny- on my way captain.
(moments later shiny appears, slightly surprised to see oreo standing there with the captain)
Shiny- Where were you?
Captain-In his favorite hiding place.
Shiny- the ventalation shaft. why do we always forget about that?
(the captain turns to face oreo)
Oreo- So, what was that about?
Captain- just the alliance pretending to absolute. So i hear we're heading to Nilo. why?
Oreo- its outta the way. alliance got no hold there. won't find any trouble there.
Shiny-Plus we can restock, refuel and get you to a proper doc.
Captain- Thats all great. But what are the possiblities we find us a job?
Oreo- what kinda job were you thinkin?
Captain- something we can get some major coin from...maybe a bank job.
(Oreo rubs his chin)
Oreo- know me a fella there. goes by the name, Mad Cat.
Captain- Mad Cat?!
Oreo- he truly is, but he always seem to have his nose in deep with folks lookin for hire.
(The captain shift is weight all to relieve the pain in his body)
Captain- Shiny. alright then. When we get there, shiny, i want you and wash to take care of the ship and resupply on what we ain't got. Oreo, you go have a talk with your man and get us a job. I get myself checked out with the local M.D and we're meet back here. I don't want any unwanted attention. we do what we gotta get down and we're off that rock and back in the black.
Shiny- Xie-xie captain.
(Oreo just nods his head)
captain- shiny, hows tranquility runnin?
Shiny- grav boot gonna need be replaced soon. port thrusters are gonna need some work.
Captain- Just, try and keep things workin.
Shiny- but captain, if we don't...
Captain- just fix'em or patch'em up, whatever it is you do. dong ma?
Shiny- yes captain.
(Shiny walks off mumbling to herself)
Shiny- we need the parts and he just expects me to do patch work. when its come to engine's he doesn't know anything.
Captain- I HEARD THAT!
(Shiny shouts back)
Shiny- GOOD! BUY THE PARTS CHEAPSKATE!
(the captain smiles)
Captain- she's so cute when she's angry about engine parts (turns to oreo), isn't sh...aaaaand he's gone. I really wish he'd stop doing that.
(The captain pulls out his com again and coms wash)

***End***
***Wash***

(Its been alittle over 3 days since the crew had there encounter with the alliance ship "Monger". Oreo, sits in the cargo bay cleaning his guns. Shiny is hard at work keeping tranquility running, the captain is on the bridge rubbing his head due to the annoying singing coming from wash)
Wash- I'm a pilot of a ship called tranquility

or where i'll be
but i don't really mind
flying blind
cause, i'm a pilot of a ship...
Uh-oh!
Captain- What? you can't think of a word that rhymes with "Ship"?
Wash- Ah, no, it's seems we've reached our destination. Nilo, dead ahead.
(the captain mutters to himself)
Captain- thank you.
(Wash pulls up a schematic of the terrian)
Wash- yes. yes. yes. yes
Captain- Yes? yes what?
Wash- that's nilo alright.
(the captain rolls his eyes)
Captain- I thought we knew that already Einstein?
Wash- yeah, but...
Captain- how long till we break atmo?
Wash- uuummmmm...e.t.a...20 mins.
Captain- Okay, locate that town Oreo was talking about and find us a nice shady spot about 10 miles on the outskirt.
(Wash immediatley buries his face into the schematic. the captain grabs the com.)
***captain***
Okay folks, in about 20 mins time we'll be landing on nilo. so get ready.
***End***
(shiny stands up and stretches her back)
Shiny- Finally.
(In the cargo bay oreo, removes a cleaner from the barrel of his gun and places it into a wooden case. He eyes weapon and admires his detailing.)
Oreo-...Just in case.

on the bridge SHADOW finishes downloading a secret transmission to a small device, then put's it in the breast pocket of his brown coat.
he punches the 'com button:
*com*
"ok crew, here's the lowdown on this job.
the bank president was a suspected war criminal in the war for independence.
he was an ALLIANCE officer who ran a type of concentration camp which conducted 'tests' on captured INDEPENDENT soldiers.
after the war, he was given the cushy job of running this bank here in paradise.
the catch here is that some of the families of the captured INDEPENDENT soldiers have contacts in the financial industry and have learned that the bank is holding volumes of captured documents which have untold value in the black market.
the bounty is high for any documents we can bring to our black market contact.
i've just received the access codes to the main safe where the archives are.
once we're in i'll be in safe cracking mode.
OREO will handle logistics on this one, so gear up according to what he needs.
be in the cargo bay in 10."
