“This is Ariel Capital City Municipal docks to the Alliance Frigate Heisenberg you are cleared to land at secure terminal one for prisoner transfer. A security team will be waiting for your arrival. Do not begin transfer until cleared by the Portmaster for safety.”
“This is the Alliance Frigate Heisenberg we read you loud and clear. Beginning our decent.”
All the medics say that you can’t hear or comprehend anything in biostasis. They work on the idea that was that many depressants and anaesthetics in your system that a person’s brain couldn’t possibly function at a high enough level. They also say that the subject doesn’t dream either. And whilst these facts may be true for most ill-fated individuals who find themselves subject to the cocktail of drugs known as biostasis neither was true for Vixen Goddard. She found herself in the unfortunate position of being trapped between consciousness and dreams slipping freely between both yet unable to grasp either. She likened the state to a purgatory of the mind, unable to rest yet incapable of action. Was this one more of God’s punishments to her? A reprimand for her life of wrong doing and sin? A penalty for past transgressions?
She had been locked this way since her arrest two weeks previously. Had it been two weeks? She asked herself. From the snippets of conversation she overheard that was what was being said but she didn’t know what to trust...

OOC: Well it had to happen one day. I found a program online that allows you to create your own comic. So i thought I'd give it a try with our very own Special Branch story.

This is an introduction of sorts, hinting at the major even that led all the characters to where they are today - "The Giant Space Hiccup"
Whether i'll create a short strip based on previous threads depends if i can find time. Although to be honest, i think it could look really good if i got some decent pictures to use. This was thrown together using whichever pictures i had on the pc.

Safe!
Alarm flared, along with a dozen other things like relief and joy and the overwhelming urge to run over, launch herself onto his knee where he sat and hug the living daylights out of him.
Thankfully years of practice at playing it low key came to her aid. Turning away, she circled the display stand and 'admired' the pretties, throwing glances now and then at the guy not drinking his coffee across the way. It really was him. Sure, he looked like he'd been minced and fed through the hobo filter, but the movements, the twitches, the very shape of him confirmed it. She was willing to bet the smell had changed though.
Her transport was announced. Time to leave. But a coffee would be nice first.
Sweeping into the shop she wrinkled her nose in passing, a flounce and a huff, and not a backwards glance as she ordered. From her daintily stupid little bag she pulled the slip of paper she'd noted her hotel details on, and as she passed back out of the shop threw it screwed up with the receipt onto the table next to his coffee.
That should work, unless he'd lost all his investigative spirit since she'd last seen them.
A second announcement sounded and she hurried to make her ride.

OOC: So following on From Needy's epic comic I had an Idea for a series of posters as it were. Unfortunately im not too fancy with the graphic designing but I've done a poster for all the main characters who I know what they look like. They're all up in the Blue sun room:
Soul http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=23234
Needy http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=23232
Safe http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=23230
Kyra http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=23233
Seryn http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=23235
Wisp http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=23228
Vixen http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=23236

Santos
The rear hatch of the Epsilon was facing the direction of the snipers at an almost perpendicular angle. Wisp and Vixen found themselves stuck on either side of the door as bullets whizzed into the hold, striking cargo and bulkheads at random.
“Wisp we need to get this thing in the air now!” Vixen shouted over the gunfire. Both were armed with purely pistols as the hail of fire prevented them from reaching anything larger.
“I aint leaving em!” He screamed back as he slung a shot out of the door. He didn’t dare risk aiming for fear the unknown assailants would take that moment to bury a slug into his brain. “If we can hold em off a little longer they might retreat”
“IF? MIGHT? Jesus Wisp If we don’t get in the air right now they’re gonna put some lead into the engine or worse and we are never taking off again! Don’t you get it? We are outgunned and out manoeuvred. We lost lets go already!”
“A little long-“ it was as he reached out this time to fire that a bullet caught him in the shoulder. Spinning like a top he hit the ground in the open whereupon the mystery snipers began laying down fire in earnest at his position. Vixen not waiting for permission hit the emergency hatch close sealing them off from the barrage. “What are you doing? Open the hatch again they need our help!”
“You need medical attention. If you haven’t noticed you’ve been shot”
“Just apply some MediGel and I’ll be fine. And whilst we’ve got that door shut let’s break out some heavy weapons and show them a real party”
Vixen grabbed a first aid kit off the wall and injected something into Wisps wound. “That feels better...wait... that wasn’t...” He never finished the sentence as he fell into unconscious. Vixen replaced the tranquiliser then applied the required MediGel to his wound. As soon as he was stable she made her way to the cockpit and plotted a course the hell away from Santos. She took particular attention to head in the opposite direction of the other evacuating ships. Wisp would be angry as hell when he awoke. Maybe she could be gone by then? Disappear back into the black never to be missed again...

OOC: On one of the old threads we had lists of who every would have play themselves I went from those. I have a couple of quote books and I tried to pick something that was really about the character.

OOC: I think you did an exceptional job with the quotes! And the pictures. You managed to find pictures that had a Firefly flavour to them.
For Kurran (sp?) I kinda see the actor that played Tyr on the Andromeda series.

OOC: Myself, i've always pictured someone like Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (from Lost and Bourne Identity) as Kurren, or at least of the same stature. But Jazaf once said he was blackinese in origin, and so i've found it difficult to find an appropriate pic for the character
But yes gotta agree Wisp, the pics you've made are amazing

OOC: I've emailed Kurren and asked him who he pictured as himself. Also I was wondering Needy who you pictured as Clayton?
I'll do those two when I Know
