20) RAID ON BLACK DIAMOND
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=9473
(interim)
TheRealMe, Rat (?), Jake7, Needleseye, and ImEarly are creeping around high in a cave, looking down on great expanse below, where the FemaleReaver seems to be preaching to a congregation of thousands of yeti. They seem to be listening intently. She is apparently trying to get them to march on the human ski resort. Most of them march off.
The archer SoulOfSerenity joins Our Heroes high in the caves. He was last seen at the end of Thread 2! He wants to help.
Soon, however, the plague of cozenants that are swarming the planet have arrived. FemaleReaver tries to get to higher ground inside the cave, and notices Our Heroes. With some amazing acrobatics, she leaps up and beats the crap out of several of us, but is pushed off a ledge, where she seems to fall to her doom.
A strange grunting, scraping sound is heard, and the Blue Box of SimonWho appears. He steps out and offers to help the more seriously wounded, including TRM. At that moment, FemaleReaver jumps back into combat (she had not fallen to her death, but merely down to the next ledge below), kicks SimonWho in the face, does a couple somersaults, and enters his Blue Box. The same weird sounds repeat as the Box disappears. SimonWho patches us up as best he can, and TRM opens a portal from the cave back to the resort on the hunch that would be FemaleReaver’s destination. At some point, Rat goes back to retrieve the General Lee. Maybe TRM also makes him a portal back to there, or maybe he never accompanied the rest to this cave.
Back at the resort are various folk, including Static, TheGreyJedi, and the new folks CallMeAth and Lissa. Our Heroes from the FemaleReaver quest stumble into the pool area. Note that at some point, we completely lose track of ImEarly (who is invisible after all).
At poolside, SimonWho’s Blue Box appears. This time,we are ready for FemaleReaver’s tricks! The Box’s door opens, and out steps…. Bride7! Where is the FemaleReaver? It turns out that she is nearby, running up a high hill overlooking the pool. She is about to threaten ThatWeirdGirl, who is arriving with her yeti dance friends. TheRealMe and Static pursue. Using his portal powers, TRM gets in front of the FemaleReaver to distract her (and get beat up again) while Static uses his pair of pistols to cover her, firing a few warning shots. She is ready to be taken back to her cell… until next time! TheGreyJedi resolves all remaining FemaleReaver issues by squashing her flat with the index finger of his giant super-mecha Aegis.
Meanwhile, an army of 64,000 yeti are approaching the ski resort, while cozenants are devouring everything! ThatWeirdGirl’s yeti friends talk to Assan who is part of this army, to try to stop the attack.
From TheRealMe’s report to Ebo:
Let me see, since the last report we gave you, the escaped FemaleReaver has been crushed (literally… by a finger of TheGreyJedi’s mecha), but an army of perhaps millions of warrior ants controlled by Cozen have taken over the Sereni-Tree. It is my guess that the Cozen love-clones that we rescued from the destruction of the planet Rukus are in on the plot, and may have opened hatches to let the ants in.
We’ve recovered the Infirmary with the help of some of the Brides, and we’re heading off to Main Engineering next. Mai discovered that Knibblet’s Stupendous Sunscreen is also a terrific ant-repellant, so we’ve been using that as our major weapon. Oh, that and the Ebo Golem, who is excellent at stomping ants. Sparky, sadly, is once again in pieces.
From TheRealMe’s explanation of where Serenity came from:
CallMeSerenity,
While you may not have been a native of the Black Diamond ski resort planet, we almost certainly picked you up there. It was a substantial world, with its own gravity and ecosystem and everything else that a planet would have (with a nice contrast between the volcanoes’ rivers of molten lava and the stark snowscapes that otherwise dom

(Abbreviated, interim summary)
Get away from Black Diamond.
ThatWeirdGirl has lots of fun flying her shuttle, the Admiral Nelson around in loops. However, her shuttle has some technical difficulties. She dies, and is revived. Soon after the “No Dying” rule is established.

22) SERENI-TREE IV: THE VOYAGE HOME
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=9926
(Interim summary by... somebody)
Unknown space pirates were chasing two of our crew….
TheGreyJedi was still in an alternate dimension…
The Princess Bride had just begun playing in the common room…
AND…
Earth was within our sights.
RAT takes over various officer positions in his second mutiny attempt. Becomes Acquisitions Officer. At some point during the journey home, Rat tried to work a deal with some Pakleds that he met (stupid Elmer Fuddish creatures from the first season of Star Trek, TNG). To replace all the Spam that the tens of thousands of Yeti were eating, Rat attempted to trade away the 8-ball from Ebo's pool table and Bride6! He substitutes a mannikin, instead, which does not fool them.
This thread will tell the story of how we all arrived back home, safely, and together.

23) THE S.S. SERENITREE’S HOMECOMING
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=10274
(Interim summary by Cozen)
Summary? Oh dear….
The crew are chased by space pirates while watching Princess Bride.
CallMeAth and Rat battle pirates from the General Lee, then return to the Tree and take on different roles. Rat settles into role of Aquisitions Officer; Ath takes a decidedly different approach to defending the Tree than does sibling CallMeSerenity, who in turn learns of her origins from TheRealMe (it seems that she joined the crew at Black Diamond). Oh, and she finds out she has wings.
PsychicRiver awakens from hibernation even as SoulOfSerenity juggles his security duties with partying, before heroically suffering a coma inducing head injury at the hands of new villains the Evil Creatures aka Evil Invaders aka Enemy Invaders.
MontanGirl gasps in shock and horror as she discovers that she, too, can be an idiot.
TheRealMe does… does everything.
Static takes a rare break from ThatWeirdGirl so that he can pilot the Tree, and saves us all only a couple of times before discovering a latent telekinesis and landing the Tree back on a war-torn Earth-that-still-is.
ThatWeirdGirl attempts a risky rescue of TheGreyJedi, who’d been in alternate dimensional space for a while. TGJ saves himself anyway, but is currently infirmarized and comatose in the care of Dr. SimonWho and many nurses who willingly volunteer to take turns watching over him.
Emma lands her space cruiser on the Sereni-Tree, bringing trading goods and a seven foot tall meteor troll that slavishly attatches itself to TRM.
Cozen steals fruit from CMSerenity’s garden, bumps into CMS, welcomes Emma with a kidnap, and finally succeeds in rescuing someone. That someone would be Jake7, who continues to be imperilled in every scenario.
Mai unleashes an evil mop, but is loved all the more. Molly the Parrot learns how to post to the thread.
Needleseye declines to eat anyone, choosing to create more flowers and fix engines with the aid of Jet.
As TWG reconnoitres the Original Clubhouse and is saved from certain doom at the hands of the Evil Creatures by Jazaf’s timely swordplay, CMAth and others turn the Jacuzzi into a chocolate-champaign hot-tub playground.
AND: Captain Ebo rules the 'verse.
‘nuff already….

24) THE TREE-CLUBHOUSE GANG ARE (ALMOST) GROUNDED
http://fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=10477
(Interim Summary)
Looks like we have three or four possible enemies for the near future. It also looks like Cozen and Jet have armed us sufficiently for battle. Thanks much!
Rat and Emma have discovered why we were using PepsiMilk against the EI…they like SPAM. Oh, and it seems that Pepsimilk dissolves them or something.

25) S.S. SERENITREE: THE EVE OF BATTLE
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=10543
(Interim Summary)
Let’s see, in no particular order…
Arriving by way of a rowboat and the shuttle Admiral Nelson, PsychicRiver and ThatWeirdGirl battle the Enemy Invaders for possession of the Tree and Zoid’s deserted Pub at the Bottom of the Tree. Their goal is to rescue PsychicRiver’s long-lost cat, Belle (and SimonWho’s stash of British candies).
Static, we hope, is still flying the Sereni-Tree. The last we knew, he was heading the ship toward the Lake near the Tree in order to rendezvous with ThatWeirdGirl and PsychicRiver. He is still dodging an EI fleet, but at least the closest ships have been dealt with.
Somewhere deep in the bowels of the Sereni-Tree, Cozen has thawed himself out from the cryogenic freezing machine of the Insidious Doctor Rat (who has apparently been freezing and storing many of our missing companions for SOME diabolical purpose). Cozen inadvisably enables Real World Physics, but has the good sense to quickly disable them, again.
Down in Main Engineering, Needleseye and TheGreyJedi are apparently not having sex in the same way as a certain other couple on board never did. Grey has recently expended his energy (in remaking/repairing the Sereni-Tree in some techno-magic fashion).
In the Old Clubhouse stored in the Main Cargo Bay, TheRealMe is practicing his long-neglected minioning duties on Mal-licious. The two have, until recently, been oblivious to the dangers that threaten the others. Jake7 is also there relaxing, after rigging the sprinkler system to spray Pepsimilk over all the EI who boarded the ship.
On Emma’s ship, which is still mated to the Sereni-Tree’s main airlock, Emma, Jazaf, CallMeSerenity, and MontanaGirl fight against the elite repo men who are attempting to reclaim Emma’s ship. Serenity gets a severe headache because of her brother Ath (and not for the first time, I suspect). Emma decides to head to the chocolate jacuzzi.
Mai, who had previously been giving Jazaf a guided tour of the Sereni-Tree, is either with that group or else still off looking for Molly the Parrot.
On the other side of a mysterious dimensional portal from the Sereni-Tree, SoulofSerenity, CallMeAth, and Lissa have been captured. Ath is being tortured, and the pain he experiences bleeds across the psychic connection he seems to share with his sister Serenity.
I have no clue what the Brides, clones, or anyone else are doing.
And Ebo? Probably still confused. But at least she’s enthusiastic!

26) U.S.S. SERENITREE: NO LONGER THE EVE OF BATTLE
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=10841
(Interim Summary)
Lots of things happen. We infiltrate the core of the Enemy Invaders and Serenity flies up and drops a bomb down their smokestack or some such.
It seems that there is a clone/brother of SoulofSerenity named EvilSoul who has shanghaied a few of our lovely ladies and has even made/stole some shadows to distract them while he enacts his diabolical plot! Gasp!

27) USS SERENITREE: A TALE OF TWO TREES
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=11136
(Interim Summary)
SoulofSerenity’s evil counterpart, DarkSoul, created a False Sereni-Tree (the Adelai Niska), kidnapped most of our womenfolk over to that ship, and then split off evil clones from Our Heroes. After some confusion as to what was going on, Our Heroes made their way to the False Sereni-Tree by means of their own powers or the three shuttles, fought to recover their friends, faced and conquered their dark selves, and departed before the Cozenroaches could finish eating the False Sereni-Tree.
The last major conflict of the “DarkSoul” plotline was when EvilSimonWho kidnapped ThatWeirdGirl. SimonWho defeated his dark self by (temporarily) stopping his own heart with a needle! The EvilSimonWho dissipated and SimonWho was rushed off to the Infirmary where he is in stable if guarded condition.
Then Soul, on the False Sereni-Tree, rammed the True Sereni-Tree, somehow magically joining all the good and evil bits back together. The (once again) one-and-only Sereni-Tree has been landed in a meadow on Earth-That-Still-Is, so that repairs can be made and so the crew can relax among dandelions a bit before the next great disaster threatens us. This also gives us a chance to re-supply our depleted pantry.
Newly acquired crew members include Bluefishie, XanderLHarris, and Piffle101. Welcome! More alarming additions are the Malcomettes!

28) THE SERENI-TREE AMONG DANDELIONS
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=11502
(Interim Summary)
Well, after the resolution of the Dark Soul plotline, Our Heroes landed the Sereni-Tree in a meadow among dandelions and have been relaxing. We healed, repaired the ship, sang some songs, and started breeding blue fishies and piffleponies. The piffleponies really caught on, and a race was suggested.
For now, the contestants in the race are Serenity, PsychicRiver, and Bride6. Hopefully, somebody else will be interested!
Bride2 adopted Jazaf as her Sensei, and the two have been sparring.
As a lurking side-plot, Emma and Rat have taken one of our shuttles, the Admiral Nelson, and have gone off on a trading mission. These things usually end in some kind of alien invasion of us. Otherwise, we will have to go looking for that pair sometime soon.

This is where our SoulofSerenity is the Captain, CallMeSerenity is First Officer, and TheRealMe is the bumbling doctor (since all the jobs he knew were taken when he joined).

29) THE SERENI-TREE: A DAY AT THE RACES
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=12057
(Thanks to PsychicRiver for most of this interim summary. I may expand on it later.)
Well, whilst continuing to wallow among the dandelions, we saw the birth of some Piffle-foals (delivered by Montanagirl), of which some were claimed. And then, we had a piffle-pony race! During the race, Needleseye was found to be lurking on the island in the middle of the lake that was part of the course.
Race Results:
1st place - Serenity & Patience
2nd place - PR, Jake 7 & Ororo
3rd place - Bride 6 and Prudence
4th place (there are no losers!) - Droppymccool & Penitence.
Dear MollyTheParrot had her wing clipped at the start of the race, which caused Cozen to go a tad loony... needless to say we managed to fight off the cozenants, cockroaches, and tarantulas long enough for him to see that Molly was going to be fine. However, the Sereni-Tree suffered some damage from the cozenbugs.
TWG was caught in a web, bitten by a giant tarantula, and much to her dismay, SimonWho had to save her, along with TheRealMe. It is unclear if this was a cozenspider or something more natural.
We also received a message from Emma, who told us that she and Rat had got into some trouble while off “trading”... and needed rescuing.
Soul decided to captain this rescue mission, and picked out a few crew members to assist him. Near the Sereni-Tree, he landed his Firefly ship Destiny's Shadow which would take the crew on the rescue mission. And what a mighty fine ship it is!
PsychicRiver and Mai decided to go for a swim in the lake. How quaint.
Our 29th thread also saw the arrival of a very confused Needy, Boy Whore of Destiny, wearing a dress and hearing strange voices.
At the moment, Soul’s Destiny is about to take off, with the disembodied head of Succatash as the pilot! The rest of SoulOfSerenity’s crew includes Bride2, CallMeAth, CallMeSerenity, Jake7, Jazaf, Jayne-Clone2, Lissa, Needy, and ThatWeirdGirl.
