At your service, Sir. What section of the ship would you like to tour first? I vote for the less-covered-in-EI-guts portion of the ship.

'I think I'll take the high road. Can you show me where the other crewmembers are? I wanna see if I can put my Katana to some more use.'

Mai sighs loudly and says 'Fine, this way.'

*After getting batted around by the Browncoat horde for a few minutes, (and getting hit in a few places he'd rather not be hit in) Ath finally manages to break free. He finds himself in an unfamiliar hallway. Of course, that's not saying much, as he hasn't been on the ship for long, and most of that time was spent in a jacuzzi.*

lissa?

*At the sound of Ath's voice, two EI charge out of a side passage. Ath quickly decapitates the first one, and smashes the second's face with his hilt. The EI falls to its knees, holding its streaming nose. Ath places the point of his sword to its neck.*

WHERE'S LISSA!?

*The EI points down the hall it came down, where Ath can see a faint green glow. Ath murmers a thanks to the EI, then cuts its head off.*

*Ath runs down the hall, stopping short when he comes to what appears to be a portal, glowing bright green. Considers briefly whether jumping into a portal, with no idea where it goes, is a smart idea.*

*Jumps in anyway*

Fight.

*The General Lee, piloted by Rat with cozen stationed at its quad lasers, appears on the scene in a blaze of hyperspace glory. Without hesitation, Rat steers straight on to the alien frigate on what can only be described as a kamikaze course. cozen sets aim, and lets loose on laser settings at "Full Load".*

*Accidentally scores a hit on frigate's powerplant. There is barely enough energy in the blast to pierce forcefield and the inner and outer hulls before the impact detonates the alien ship into its component atoms.*

One down.

But, we're out of ammo. Cap'n Ebonezer, request permission to dock.

*Meanwhile, Emma is on her ship unconcsious. Her ship, being liberated from the EIs, picked up the long-range sensors of the EI frigate and a fleet of ships not far behind. Before she could tell anyone she fainted. SimonWho is trying to bring her round but she is completely unconscious and cannot be roused for another three days.*

*PR quickly left the bridge, still un-noticed by the other crew members. He wandered down to his room, and grabbed a piece of paper, and a pen. He starts to write...*

*PR gathers up some of his most important things, shoves them into his bag and grabs his walking stick that is leaning against the wall in the corner and leaves his room, placing the note on the table.*

*Once out of his room, he looks down the corridor, and see's MG and Jazaf talking and walking off. As quietly as he can, PR stalks off in the other direction, and quickly goes up the back staircase. He walks through a door at the top, and slowly down the corridor, and waits, just inside the door, to the cargo bay/airlock area.*

*The airlock opens up, and General Lee swoops him, causing a gush of air.*

Now.

*PR quickly steps out of the door, and slips un-noticed out of the airlock, just as it closes.*

*He starts moivng away from the ship, and goes into a load of trees.*

*He quickly and carefully makes his way through the trees, and comes out the other side, on the shore. Once out, he realises there are a lot of EI this side of the trees.*

*He doesn't stop, just quickly carries on the the water. Tied to a wooden post on the shore, a small boat gently rocks in the waves. PR dumps his bag and stick in the boat, and then unties the rope. He then steps into the boat, pushing it off the shore with the other foot.*

*PR sits down in the boat, closes his eyes and lets his head hang down. Using his mind, PR pushes the boat further out into the water, the EI giving up swimming and turning back to the shore.*

*Once out into the middle of the cove, PR grabs the oars in the boat, and puts them into place and begins rowing out towards the mouth of the cove, to the sea.*

The time is? 2.53. Destination? The tree.

*The note left on the table in PR's rooms reads;*

Dear Crew,

I've gone. I've left S.S. Serenitree to voyage back to the tree this house once stood in.

When we left on our voyage, I left my cat in said tree, she had grown accustomed to it, and I didn't know we would be gone this long.

And now, with the trouble on Earth, I fear my cat is no longer safe. I have no family, and this cat was my familial bond.

So I plan to sail back to the tree, to find and protect my cat.

Hopefully she hasn't been eaten by the EI, or programmed by Microsith.

I'm sorry I won't be able to help out in the battle, hopefully I'll be able to make it back to the ship somehow, before you move on.

I apologise for my abrupt leaving, not telling anyone, but I couldn't risk being talked out of it. I'm sorry to abandon you, but I trust TRM and know you are in safe hands.

If ever anyone needs me, just think it, and somehow...I'll know. I hope.

I will clear out any enemies living in the tree.

Be safe, take care,

PsychicRiver.

P.S. Please don't destroy earth while I'm still here.

P.P.S. Keep Rat out of my room.

And Cozen.

And Molly. Droppings. Nasty.

*Serenity watches in astounded wonder as Montana Girl whips out her Legolas knives and quickly dispatches the two large and nasty looking EIs.*

MG-I didn't know you could do that!

says MG, "Neither did I."

Oookay. Well, it was fantastic, you saved us, and I didn't have to use my broken bottle! Now, let's see if we can get our hands on some weapons!

*Serenity walks over to nearest comm*

TRM, this is Serenity. Do you think you could unlock the armory for MG & I? Thanks!

*TRM unlocks the armory and they enter and begin sifting through the clutter.*

SPAM gun, SPAM gun, SPAM gun. Do we have anything in here but SPAM guns?

*At that moment, the airlock opens and Rat and Cozen arrive. Cozen is carrying lots of shiny katanas. Serenity sticks her head out of the armory door.*

Hey, Cozen, just in time! Do you think I could have one of those?

* After the smooth-as-gravel landing of the General Lee, TheRealMe operates the controls to close the main hanger bay hatches. He calls up to the pilot dome: *

Okay Static! Rat and Cozen are aboard! Get us out of here, if you please!

*Ath steps out of the portal to find himself on a dias, surrounded by confused EI technicians. Taking advantage of their confusion, Ath eliminates all but one with extreme prejudice.*

Where's Lissa?

"Wh-wh-who?", stammers the EI.

Lissa! A cute little blonde college girl who probably still smells a bit like chocolate.

"I think she's in the lab", says the EI, then proceeds to give Ath detailed directions.*

Thanks!

*After dispatching the EI, Ath steathily heads towards the lab. Using the key card he took from the helpful technician, Ath opens the door to find a lone EI scientist. (How's he know its a scientist? Its wearing a lab coat.) On the far side of the lab is a room with no apparent doors or windows. On a moniter Ath can see an infrared image of Lissa.*

Let her out. NOW!

*Seeing the deadly look on Ath's face, the EI punches some buttons and the near wall of the doorless room seems to melt away, showing a disheveled, but still lovely, Lissa.*

*Ath runs over to Lissa, and scoops her into his arms.*

I was so worried!

*Gives Lissa a quick kiss, then turns to the door. Just as he notices that the scientist had fled, a klaxen alarm goes of."

Warning! Intruders in Science Lab D! Security Team Aplha report there immediately!

Crap.

Here Lissa, you might need this.

*Hands Lissa one of his dirks, just as the security team enters the room.*
