OK:

1) I'd say Zoe. A good shot and she wears body armour so she'd be harder for the bad guys to put down.

2) I'd have to let them decide, but I think I'd have to stay on the planet.

3) River

4) Kaylee, she'd be the only that knew what to do.

5) I'd either become an agent and then betray the Alliance pretty quickly or take the torture.

6) River, again. (Her ramblings are always entertaining.

7) Buy the ship and build an equally loveable crew.

8) Go in there, pull a gun and tell them to move to a shuttle, make the walls sound-proof or I start shooting.

9) If I had something to move on to then I would leave otherwise I'd have to stay.

10) I'd have to say Book to see if there's any clue as to what he was. Then Inara's chest to see what that liquid was.

1) You find yourself in a difficult situation. Trapped in an abandoned cargo bay with the whole Alliance army positioned all around the only exit. You have some weapons and if you're quick there's a chance you could escape. But It'll take some fancy shootin'. So my question is:- Which of the Firefly crew would you like to have by your side in such a situation? You may choose only one character.

a.) I’d most likely have Zoe. She’s a strategist, always keeping an eye on important details, and quick on her feet.

2) Serenity has had to make an emergency crash landing on a desolate heap of a planet where thankfully there is no Alliance representation. She's badly broken up and really only a genius could even hope to fly her let alone leave the atmosphere and into deep cold space, so my question is :
As captain would you decide to stay with the crew you know and love and make a go of it on a new completely alliance free planet or; -
would you order the crew to take the very big risk of trying to patch Serenity up and attempt to leave? Bear in mind this choice comes with high risk and a great chance of "Oh God, Oh God we're all going to die!"

a.) What, and leave my ship? ;) I’d definitely stick around and get Serenity space worthy again. I’m not the type to give up without a good crack at a solution first. Aye, times would be rough at some point, but everyone’s safety and freedom is paramount in my mind. Plus, we could spend the time telling stories/singing songs/playing makeshift sports games etc. Make everyone comfortable until our eventual departure.

3) You are the tenth crew member, having recently joined Serenity this is your first shore leave with the whole crew, and you've been ordered to attend a fancy shinding. There will be 'real' food, sophisticated drinks (no mudder's milk) and a fair bit of dancing. That said Mal is of course working a deal but a respectable image is to be upheld by all crew members (Jayne included) to impress the potential client. As such you realise this is your chance to shine on the dance floor and you take the opportunity to ask one of the crew to dance. Who will it be and why?

a.) Inara is trained in traditional forms of dance, and an easy choice. Kaylee might be a good partner. She could probably memorise complex moves, much in the same vane as rewiring a console, or putting together engine parts.

4) You're in deep space. Serenity has had a strange shut down and much of the repair work must be done on the hull - which means a space walk. It's cold dark and of course very dangerous, but strangely alluring with all them flickering twinkling stars 'n all. Everyone has to buddy up and tend to some area of the hull as a duo. Who would you like to be paired with and why?

a.) For this job, it’s Kaylee. She knows what to do in this situation, and would offer helpful advice if I ever got stuck.

5) You've been taken prisoner by the Alliance for looking like: "A low down dirty Browncoat!" (Alliance words not mine). They give you two options:-
a -Remain with the Alliance and aid them in their role as vanguards of the 'verse, with the alliance honouring the bargain by letting Serenity remain free agents or; -
b -Be released a free man with a ship and a crew of your own if you'll divulge the whereabouts of Serenity and her crew?

a.) I’d have to sacrifice myself on this one, even if it meant never seeing the crew again. The crew would probably come back and bust me out. The second option would be trickier – especially if I fed them false coordinates. It wouldn’t guarantee freedom. I’d rather sit it out with the first option and wait for a daring jail break. :D

6) Shore leave again and Mal will allow you to choose who is to go with you. However you may choose only one other person because at least eight crew members must remain on board at all times ( for reasons I can't quite figure out why?!?!) But that's the way it is.
Who you going to take?

a.) I’d pick Inara. She’s well versed in a lot of customs and culture. We could

I think it is a simple choice for me to want River at my side for this. Well the Killer River anyways, and not the weak helpless River of the early episodes.

Wow, what a fun post.

1. Zoe. She's more than proved her worth in a fight and her background as an independent soldier would prove invaluable in making an escape.

2. Well, assuming that Simon and River are still on board, I would take the risk to leave. Knowing the Alliance and their resources it wouldn't be long before the would find locate Serenity's fugitives. With that being said, patching up Serenity would seem to be the only choice.

3. Hmm good question. I would have to go with River. River would likely stick out at a fancy shindig, and this would be bad news for Mal if he's discretely working a deal. River seems most at ease when she's dancing, as demonstrated in the episode "Safe", and would blend in better if she was dancing (Gotta think about the job). Besides, River would make an excellent dance partner.

4. I would have to say Kaylee. I can't say I know too much about repairing ship hulls, so Kaylee's the natural choice. Also, I imagine she would have a way with keeping me at ease while we are perched precariously on Serenity's hull.

5. There isn't an option C? Well, between a and b, I would have to go with a. It seems you have constructed quite the Kobayashi Maru here Somnambulist.

6. Book

7. Well I can't deny that continuing Serenity's adventures with Mal and the gang would not be the same, but the prospect of continuing with a new crew would be exciting, so I would buy Serenity and compile a new crew. I would ask everyone though if they would like to continue on with me, and hopefully be able to wrangle in a couple old friends with the new.

8. I have no desire to sabotage their relationship or bunk with Jayne. I would probably ask to perform some sort of night shift on Serenity, perhaps taking's Wash's night shift in the cockpit, and I'm sure he would oblige himself since that would mean more nighttime hours with his wife. .... Is everyone on this ship jumping each other's bones now?

9. I'd stay with Mal, Inara, Jayne and Book. Staying out in the black with old friends, with continued adventures, would be far more interesting. Maybe some day I'd retire and settle on some world, but I would like my fill of adventures on Serenity before that time comes.

10. I'm not really the type to go through anyones things, but for the sake of the questions, I would probably look through Book's Bible. He seems like the type that would write his thoughts and reflections on the work in the margins, and knowing Book, he would likely have lots of words of wisdom.

I would fix the ship enough to get her to to the nearest repair facility. If we ain't flying we're dying.

I would probably ask Inara to dance with me, because while there is no chance of any romantic relations with her, I am sure that she would know how to behave on the dance floor and would not flip out for any unexplainable reasons. Being the 10th crew member on board, I have a really shady story to hide, and can't afford to have my cover blown.

I would want to perform some hull work with Simon so I cold freak him out.

BTW very great idea. Thanks for doing this.

1) Jayne as long as he has Vera.

2) I order them to fix it because if anyone can, Kaylee is it.

3) Kayle because she is my favorite female character.

4) Kaylee because she is the most talented with repairs, and I'd have no clue what i was doing.

5) a -Remain with the Alliance and aid them in their role as vanguards of the 'verse, with the alliance honoring the bargain by letting Serenity remain free agents.

6) Jayne because if anything goes down, I'd rather have him guarding my back. Unless the potential threat runs the risk of offering a bribe of some sort.

7) I would ask Mal if I could purchase Serenity and just land her near civilization using her as a house. Because it wouldn't be the same without the crew.

8) b - Will you decide to share a room with Jayne who has a free bunk?

9) b - Stay with Mal, Inara, Jayne and Book? It would be hard losing the others, but why lose everyone. I'd stay with the few I still had and try to meet up with the others whenever we land at that location again.

10) Jayne's. His guns are great.
