On Boros:
Bride6 goes to the spot that Safe suggested. She drops her pack and puts on a long brown coat to help hide her weapons.
Reluctantly, Bride7 follows her to the spot. "This is going to get us all killed. You know that, right?"
Bride6 smiles. "Nope. Don't know that at all." She makes sure her weapons are loaded. Then she bends down and digs through her pack. "Grenades?" She stands and shoves a handful of grenades into Bride7's grasp.
"Thanks a bunch," Bride7 replies sourly.
"You're welcome." Bride6 seems thoughtful. "You know what Jayne-clone2 would say? 'Live or die, this here has the makin' of a mighty fine shoot-out!'"

Today has not been the best day ever.
*Fusses around getting Soul back in bed, brings him a blanket and tucks it around him, brings him a class of water and helps him sip at it and then, running out of things to do, sits next to him and picks at the lint on the blanket.*
You know, even though you were right about the evil baby robot, and I'm sorry I doubted you, I'm still annoyed at you. You don't seem to be taking your imminent parenthood very seriously.
But, you know, I'm glad you're alright. 
*dabs at her eyes with the corner of the blanket.*
I'm hungry. I want lasagne.

Boros;
Outside the old town hall, a cab pulls to a stop. The lone passenger disembarks and the cab pulls away. He stands briefly surveying the building before entering.
The cab turns the corner at the end of the block and stops, waiting. A man steps out of the shadows and approaches the cab. The driver looks nervously around "Ok I did my side of the bargain... 500 credits, you promised..."
The stranger smirks and removes his hand from his pocket. Instead of credits, his blue gloved hand holds a pen like object. Screams fill the evening air.

SR strides into the building with a smooth measured tread and stops six paces inside the door.
"Time is of the essence. Things are motion at high speed. I need immediate disclosure. If you are going to kill me I should let you know that I am holding the deadman switch detonator to the bomb I am wearing and it is large enough to make the surrounding three blocks prime real estate for urban renewal. I am sincere in my interests to do business, but all business ventures require insurance. I all ready know that the man who delivered me here is a traitor."
There is a sudden explosion not too far away.
"He either betrayed me to you or he has betrayed us all. He no longer a issue. Answer quickly please."

*Rat piles a few more things into The General and closes the door. He then takes running leap and throws himself at a huge red disk on the side of The General.*
POOF!
*Picks up the Matchbox size General and places it in his pocket.*
I'm packed, let's go!

"Hello? Ath? This is Me. Here is our situation..."
"An evil robot?! Is Serenity ok?"
After TRM assures Ath that everything is fine and there were no serious injuries, Ath begins running the ship's diagnostic programs.
While the programs are running, KellyofLuthien walks onto the bridge.
"Ath! I thought you should know, that robot baby your sister had went berserk and tried to kill Mai..."
"I know, TRM filled me in. Are you okay?"
"Well, I've never shot a baby before, even a robot one."
"You shot it? I can't picture you using a gun."
Kelly smiles. "I used a bow. All Luthien's are accomplished archers."
*A line from a tv show flits through Ath's mind: Have you ever been with a warrior woman?, but his thoughts are interrupted by the computer.*
System Diagnostics complete
*Ath reads through the report, then contacts TRM through his comm.*
"Hey TRM, the computer says everything's fine. Give me the word and we'll head for Boros."

'Hi JH. theres one for you too, near the lockers, and one for Washie and Quincey.'
*looks at the hair*
'Oh, I don't know how long, I've just been thinking brunette since I left the infirmary - I changed my eyecolour too, I'm thinkin it could come in handy...'
*turns serious*
'But, that is a little beside the point right now, *thinks* This situation on Boros, I don't know these guys, but they have very little time, certainly not time for us to complete our... mission. Possibly not even time enough for the Tree to reach them. We need to test this version of the Cloud, she will fly, I know that, but we need to know that she'll hold up in a fight.'
*turns back to the controls*
If you go to the fighter, in a locker to the rear of the ship you'll find a gun, it has lasers and bullets. I'd like to try the rocket thrower, but can't in here. Go and get the gun and fire at the Cloud, test out the weakest spots you know of.
If she holds, then thats good, we get TRM to open us a portal as near as possible to these guys, we go in and we get them out. I take it he can do portals large enough for the Cloud the fighter and any other shuttle as wants to come along?
*punches the button on her comm*
'TRM? We need a portal, one big enough for the Cloud, close to your guys as you can get, do you think thats possible?'
'What are you waiting for JH? go get that gun! We've got some heroing to be doing!'

Dr. Whom? Are you done running tests? Is my baby okay? I have this nagging feeling and I need to talk to TRM.
Also, I'm still really hungry. Can we call the kitchen and see if they'll deliver?

Soul groans and tries to stand. He feels a bit light-headed, but he manages to stand. Serenity is looking away, so Soul quickly reaches for his bow and quiver, but falls to the floor with a crash. Serenity runs over to him.
"Just what in the world do you think you're doing?" she asks as she helps him back to the bed.
"I'm the Security Chief. I need to be protecting this ship and our crew. I can't do that if I'm stuck in bed."
Serenity shakes her head. "You are possibly the most hard-headed man I know." She helps him lay back. "However, I am carrying your child, and I plan on my child having a father. You already died once. I don't need you dying again."
Soul groans again.

You can protect the ship just fine from here for now. You have your deputies to help. Besides, there's something I need to discuss with you and TRM. And probably my brother. Yeah, he needs to hear this.
*presses comm link*
TRM, Ath? Could I see you both in the infirmary, please. There's something important I need to tell you.
*She tucks the blanket back around him and grabs his hand again. Soul gets the feeling that this is more for her comfort than his.*

"All right, I'll be there in a sec." Ath turns to Kelly. "Sorry, family calls."
*Ath quickly heads down to the infirmary.*
"Hey Serenity. You ok? What's going on?"
