Right now, I have somethin’ tore down that’s gotta be fixed right now, and this needs cleaned right now too. If you wanna follow me down and let me give you some cleanin’ stuff I would be might grateful if you would wipe WASH’s dinner off the inside of that piece o’ equipment so’s I can fix the damage when I get done downstairs. D’ya mind?

I had to ask... shouldn't complain though, least I'm gettin paid.

"No, don't mind. Just tell me where I can find the cleaners and I'll be fine."

I'm not broken, in my dream I win...

KAYLEE’s move

LOCATION - BRIDGE

DAMON
No, don't mind. Just tell me where I can find the cleaners and I'll be fine.

KAYLEE starts out the door, and back down to finish her current job. The stuff is down in my storage, my storage is in the engine room and that is where I am goin’. Coming?

She keeps right on walking. He is either gonna come along or not, but she has work to do. Oh, and I heard that MERZ talking about moving that cannon. If ya got that done, probably will wanna run a fresh diagnostic on that also, make sure she’s sittin’ pretty. KAYLEE pauses and looks back at DAMON. Think that ROWAN be willin’ to take that on again? Would be mighty helpful and I would take it as a kindness. Think I mighta been a tad harsh with her too.

Damon nods and follows her down the hall toward the galley and engine room.

"Yeah, I went out there with Merz and Jayne and we moved it to the sensor pad up top. Got the cover on too so it should be pretty hard to spot." He smiles at the memory. "It was fun."

Damon spots Rowan coming toward them from the galley.

"Hey, Rowan, you think you could run another diagnostic on the cannon?"

MERZ move

LOCATION – MERZ DORM to LAUNDRY

With most of the activity shifted up front towards the bridge and no one paying any special attention to her, it is not too hard for MERZ to get herself to the laundry area without speaking to anyone, if not without being seen. After all, who is she hiding from … today?

Mindful of the sensitivities of others, now that it has been pointed out to her, she is careful to close the door behind her before slipping out of her clothing and quickly into her blanket. Once she is covered, she prepares the cleaning unit, more correctly this time.

Now knowing how long it would take, she is able to allow herself a little deep meditation and possibly clear herself of at least a bit of confusion and emotional drag. While learning the ability to feel genuine emotional responses is one of her current goals, it is a hard road and she is drained. She could use a bit of centering.

She sets her internal clock for fifty-five minutes, and breathes deeply, once, twice, thrice. Shifting into a comfortable lotus seat, blanket wrapped over her shoulders, she rests, immobile; hands on her thighs, back perfectly aligned and eyes shut.

LOCATION - MALs DORM
As ...

WASH
Over intercom
"Kaylee! You'd better make up a good one as to why my ship is at pink alert! It's supposed to be a RED ALERT! I didn't know we had a red alert... Captain, everything's just fine, no problems at all..."

Mal droops his head and shakes it. He allows his thoughts to get a tad darker ... "Meebe it's a lost cause like Mr. High an' Mighty suggests. Runs were going smooth until this last year or so. Makes a man question his resolve... his decisions...

Mal shunts these depressing ponderings as a waste of time and mental effort. Day to day effort was all that they needed. Live in the moment. Hope for the best but plan for the worst. It always worked before.

MAL
"Just get that gôu pì bì zuî*. The noise is makin' my ears bleed!''

He then filps the intercom to off. After a second of thought he flips the switch to ALL.

MAL
"Jobs better be done by 6 AM or I'm spacing the slackers!"

He shuts the comm off and goes back to the drudge paperwork of being a ship captain and owner. Without looking, he drifts his hand over to check the secret compartment that holds the Lassiter. The multiple catches are secure. Knots in his back perceptably loosen at this inspection. Mal squints his eyes at the badly printed Chinese ideograms on an invoice and continues with business.

*gôu pì bì zuî = bullshit to shut up

MERZ unmove
LOCATION – LAUNDRY ROOM

The intercom crackles to life.

MAL
Jobs better be done by 6 AM or I'm spacing the slackers!

No response… .

KAYLEE’s move

LOCATION – TRAVELING: BRIDGE TO ENGINE ROOM

DAMON
Hey, Rowan, you think you could run another diagnostic on the cannon?

Good, let him handle it. I have enough on my mind right now. Damon knows where I’m going right enough; he will follow when he’s ready. First priority is getting that gravity compensation unit maintenance finished, checks run and the whole system back online ASAP. Second is running new wire and lights through the nav console as needed and checks on the whole thing. Won’t be hard, but will be time consuming.

KAYLEE keeps right on walking, running schematics through her conscious mind.

At least MAL has given me ‘till morning to finish. Good thing too! Probly gonna need it.

Deep in thought KAYLEE approches the Engine compartment.

Slights move:

Slightcan't speak for a moment. Then he remembers.
"He can't attack me. The nanytes are no doubt in full sarcophigus-mode. Nothing can get through that cloud."
"He has hired a troy. Incredible," muses Helsing. "My son, you are indeed a mental marvel. An unarguably screwed marvel, but none the less. . ."
"Just tell me about the Troys."
Helsing gives his skeletal grin again.

"We don't understand much about the Troys. They are trained to be an assassination force, nearly unrivaled. We have classes within the Blue Sun, and each class is unique; each Troy is a unique individual, with specific talents towards each. One Troy could survive in a forest for months on end. Another Troy, just as old, would die within hours. As far as we can tell, they each have a name. But so much is uncertain about them. We have so little. Sometimes we just have to turn the wheel a little."
Slight frowns, confused. "Huh?"
Helsing responds by holding up two tarot cards. One features a giant hand spinning a wheel, with two people on the wheel. The other depicts a man, bandaged, sitting under seven coins. "The Wheel of Fortune. Means take whatever comes, and don't get lazy about it. The othe is the seven of pentacles. Help in what was the enemies land. Remember these things, Slight. Remember, and you may live. . ."

EOM

You see I cannot be forsaken/Because I'm not the only one.
