*hummin' along with Radar jus' sitting staring at the mule in the cargo bay*
s'about time to turn I reckon Radar, for me anyhow. So i'll say goodnight.
Gets up from catwalk, walks through the galley on way to bunk*
g'night Jack, g'night Doc
*and collides with Rocket*
Whoa, didn't se ya there Rocket...hey where ya off to in such a hurry? (as Rockets barely acknowledges the collision as he hurries on his way)
*continue down into my bunk, thinking that maybe i should be strappin'myself in tonight*
(caught mid post - again!)
I'll be in Jaynes bunk

*watches his mason jar full of brandy fly across the room and explode against the wall*
This a joke Rocket?
'Cause I'm going to need a few more drinks before hearing you say "The ship's going to explode" sounds funny.
We will hold...we hold till Mal gets back.

*drops mug on ground and grabs one end of the table as Jack takes the other*
What exactly is goin' on here?

*Rocketjock starts unbolting an access panel under the dinner table's former position*
Explainations in a minute gents; right now, someone needs to tell the bridge not to cut drive or do a hard burn until Kaylee tells 'em it's safe.
*Removes access panel, revealing a mess of gravwave conduit feeds, all jury-rigged to a roundish something-or-other about the size of a hubcap. The hubcap is glowing blue, and giving off an ominious hum. It's marked in odd lettering. Rocket pulls a microspanner from the tool kit, licks his lips, begins loosening connections, pauses, looks up at Jack and Doc.*
Now please? Dong Ma?

*leans toward the opening, staring at the 'hubcap'*
That what I think it is?
*takes a nervous drag on his cigar*
Pain you might want to do what Rocket says and run up to the bridge. I'd do it...but it would take me a week to get there.
*lurches over to the kitchen and grabs a hand lamp and shines it down in the access opening*
We will hold...we hold till Mal gets back.

*takes Jack's advice and runs out of the galley and onto the bridge*
Cap'n we got somethin' goin' on in the galley with somethin' that looks like a glowin' hubcap. Its got odd letterin' on it and is makin' an odd noise. What should we do sir?

*to Rocket*
So what you're sayin' is that we can't slow down and we can't speed up, or this thing does something unpleasant...right?

Depends. Do you think it's a slow-motion leech that's been draining our gravwave feed one erg at a time ever since Mal got us that overhaul with the Lassiter money? *(Whistles low)* Check out that Cherenkov glow. This puppy's just about one more major drive usage away from exploding.

*puts on as confident and knowledgeable face as he can*
Just what I thought.
*goes to take another drag off his cigar...but stops*
Smoke won't cause its Cherenkov glow to...um...glow harder...will it?

*Rocket nods.* That is essentually it.
*Kaylee enters, hands full of assorted tools.*
"'Cept it wouldn't explode so much as implode."
*Hunkers on the deck next to Rocket, examines "hubcap", bites lower lip.*
"If we can reverse the feed, we can drain it all back into the fuel cells."
*Smiles like sunlight.*
"Get some free boost for our troubles."
*RocketJock nods.*
You mind handling the operation? I get a little nervous around naked singularities.
