"Thanks for the Turkey."
Striding to a table, 13 roughly pulls out a chair, settling in uncomfortably. Tipping back his bottle of W.T, he makes out a strange sight in the corner of his eye.
A Core woman.
With confident steps, she makes her way over to 13's table, sliding in elegantly. She stares at the bot, head cocked to one side. Flicking a business card from her sleeve, 13 sees the familiar blue-and-white logo, emblazoned with those two words.
"Leave," the robot says simply.
"Hear us out."
"Leave."
Ignoring him, she begins. "We've been keeping track of you, '13,' and we are very interested in you. You see, I'm offering you something."
"What exactly is that?"
"A life. You and I both know that what you're doing now, petty crime with those pirates, is a poor substitute for what you could be living."
"I'm fine with where I am."
"No, you aren't. You have no idea of your true potential, what you can be. What I'm offering is that you work with us, like you were meant to. And believe me, you will be rewarded."
"What reward?"
"We can clear your name, give you a home and wealth.We can make you human again."
13 stares into the gaping mouth of the W.T bottle, unblinking. After a long time, he looks up.
"What kind of work?"

*Sybil replied*
I'm a little groggy but I'm sure that'll pass. I must say Mr. Pain, I thank you for saving me and my crew.
*Pain smiled and said*
It wasn't nothin' Miss Sybil, just doin' my job is all.
*Sybil placed a hand on Pain's wrist and replied*
Well it was a job that you and the rest of the crew shall be commended for.
*Sybil smiled and fell asleep, the drugs in her system taking effect. Pain looked at Ertia, smiled and said*
Remind me to save more people like Sybil next time.
*Ertia smiled back, wrapped her hands around Pain's waist and replied*
I'll write that down babe.
*Pain smiled, kissed Ertia and said*
Well if anyone needs me I'll be in the shower.
*Pain unwrapped Ertia's hands from his waist, kissed her once more, turned around and headed for the shower room.*
Hey where is everyone?

working :(
Choo was slowly dragged back to the waking world by the sharp pain in his leg. Groaning he muttered "Barman, lay off the olives next time..."
"so your awake then." said a voice nearby. Slowly memories started to come toghter...
"Ah. So your the doc on this boat then?"
"certainly am Mr...what is your name? We never quite asked.." said the doc as he shined a light into Choo face.
"great, my eyes are playing up now!..Names Tom by the way, but everyone calls me Choo. After the star. properly. What about yours Doc?"
After a short silence the Doc muttered "Simon my names Simon."
Holding out a hand Choo said "Nice to meet your Simon...now about my wound...will i be able to play the violin ay time soon, cause last time i checked i couldn't..."

OoC: Hey all. Summer continues with kids. I'll try to post soon. I also have some background info that's been rattling inside my brain, concerning Sybil, JR and the last mission.
JR swore revenge against The Black, the pirate ship that went kablooey, the one that killed Lizbeth, his wife. But he had no way of exacting his revenge. He even thought of joining the Alliance air/naval wing, but couldn't bring himself to do that. Then he met Sybil. Her father's company runs a "black ops" division, to help fight against the corrupt Alliance and pirate menace. Her mystery ship, called "Nightwing", was built by Sir Warrick's company. The two gunners, Mac and Laci, are/were 
Sybil's cousins.
Everyone dies alone.

"You will be our arm where we cannot reach. Namely, the Border Moons and planets, pirate space, independent colonies. You will have all of our resources at your disposal, plus a fully manned ship.
"Work with us long enough, with positive results, and we'll make you into what you deserve."
"Why me? Couldn't you just as easily have a strike force or some kind of space ninja?"
"You're, for all intents and purposes, invincible. Extremely cost-effective. And, you yourself already have a contact base and exceptional pull in the Border."
You wouldn't be missed. They don't care what you do, as long as it doesn't cause them inconvenience. With Blue Sun, you could have everything, the woman isn't lying. Honestly, how much good can you do flying around doing petty thieving?
"Well?" Her face remains placid, and 13 can read nothing from her eyes.
13's mouth pulls into a weird half-smile.
"Where's my ship, boss?"

That's quite alright JR. Go have some fun with the little ones. Nice background info BTW.
*Simon replied to Choo*
You'll be able play the violin or any other instrument. Just try to limit your physical activities for a few days while the wound heals.
Elsewhere on Serenity
*Ertia smiled as she entered the shower room, knowing full well Pain was in there. She closed the door, stripped off her clothes, and opened the shower door. Pain saw her enter and said in mock shock, while covering himself*
THERE'S SOMEONE IN HERE ARE YOU CRAZY!?
*Ertia smiled, wrapped her arms around Pain's waist and said*
You're such a kidder.
*Pain smiled, kissed Ertia and replied*
I know I am bao bei.
*The two of them soap each other up, taking time to make out and admire each other's bodies. Pain said to Ertia as he kissed her neck*
You know I like this whole showerin' together thing. It reminds me of the first time we did this.
*Ertia moaned and said as she leaned back in his arms*
That was fun bao bei. I'd like to do that again sometime soon.
*Pain smiled and said, brushing his lips against her ear*
Me too bao bei. Me too.
No there was no sexin' in the shower this time.

In the Three Hills Junkyard
*Mal, Zoe, Fly, and Guy entered the small cramped office that belonged to the junkyard owner. Mal and Zoe stood guard as Fly and Guy searched for the safe that John talked about. Zoe spotted a plume of dust heading their way and said*
Sir I think we have company coming. Looks like they're about 5 miles out and coming in quick. I say at least 25 miles per hour.
*Mal looked over his shoulder to Fly and said*
Fly you find that safe yet?
*Fly responded*
Not yet sir.
*Mal responded as he turned his attention outside*
Well there's some trouble headin' this way that says you best find that safe on the double.
*Fly is about to reply when Guy shouts out*
Found it sir! It was hidden behind the bulletin board here.
*Mal replied unholstering his gun*
Shiny! You two get to work opening it. Fly you remember the combination?
*Fly replied as she walked over to the safe*
Yes sir I do.
*Zoe said to Mal, readying her mare's leg*
Looks like they'll be on us in 6 minutes sir.
*Fly had opened the safe and started putting the contents into a canvas bag, when Mal shouted*
6 minutes folks.
*Guy responded*
It's shiny Captain we got the stuff.
*Mal replied*
Alright lets get to the hover mule and head back to Serenity. Zoe hail Wash and tell him we're coming.
*Zoe replied as the four of them headed for the hover mule, parked a half mile away*
Aye sir.
*Zoe pulled out the handheld com, pushed the button and said*
Wash baby we've got the loot. Will be heading your way shortly.
*Wash's voice came over the portable com's speaker*
10-4 sweet cakes. I'll be waiting.
