I know TRM usually does this, but I figured since Mai and Jake7 just shot us off into hyperspace, now might be a good time to start thread number 66 in the adventures of the Sereni-Tree!!!

For “The Guide to the Clubhouse / Treehouse / Sereni-Tree Threads”, telling our story and providing links to all such threads:

http://www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.asp?b=11&t=11877

Early in this link is the very long post containing “TheRealMe’s Guide to the Sereni-Tree, V7”. This post is a description of the ship.

Here is a summary of our previous thread, located at:

Um...well...crap...I was gone for a long while. All I know is that Jake7 and Mai shot us off into hyperspace, and Soul is now trying to figure out how to steer. So...here we go!

Repost of my last post in thread 65:

"Stop pushing random buttons!! And where in the world have I been?!?"

Soul pulls his way into the cockpit and makes his way over to THE chair.

"Man. Haven't sat in this thing since Static gave me a few lessons. Well, here goes nothing!"

He sits down in the chair and it rises up into the navigation dome.

"Someone help me figure out how to steer in hyperspace!!!"

Internet forums evolve. Lives evolve. Sometimes they devolve, or the participants simply go separate ways.

It was nice knowing y'all, even if it was just for a short while. Be well, folks.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes

Cozen, my friend,

If you are truly departing, I shall miss your humor. You never failed to evoke a smile. Be well.

**OOC: Cozen, you can't go! Who's going to continue all those failed kidnappings? We'll miss you. As TRM said, be well...

Speaking of TRM, Yes we missed you, too!!**

**Jake7 squeals when she can finally see straight and notices who has taken the helm**

Soul!! Where HAVE you been? It's great to see you again!!

Or, am I hallucinating this?

**her head does a few swirlies**

Oooh, I don't feel so good...

From the pilot dome, Soul presses buttons and twists the control grips on each side of the pilot's chair. Nothing happens.

Then he hears a woman's voice chuckle from the main control room below him. "Silly! You can't steer in hyperspace! The way our Jump Drive works, it sends us through a ballistic trajectory through hyperspace. We can only maneuver once we drop out into normal space again."

Soul looks down to see a beautiful woman of Asian descent with long, straight dark hair and a slinky red dress smiling up at him.

She shrugs. "But if you'd like to practice for then, we have a really good flight simulator."

"You know, that would've been nice to know before now."

Soul retracts the chair and leaps out before it has fully lowered.

"Well, if steering is out of the question, is there any way to figure out where we are headed? And for that matter, any clue where my wife and daughter have been hiding?

Quincey moves over to a console and plops down in the chair. "Sure, we can find out where we are going. All we have to do is call up the navigational plot that was entered before the Jump Drive was engaged, and that should tell us..."

She pauses, a look of concern on her face. "Ummm... You DID enter a course first, didn't you? But I can't seem to find it in here, and..."

"Ummm..."
