OoC: Not meaning to nitpick, but is there proof as to who river's biological father is? Or would it make for better story-telling to leave it ambiguous? Anyway, just my 2 credits worth.
**************
If you find yourself getting too worked up about stuff that isn't real (RP Threads etc), then go outside, breathe in some fresh air and try feeding the ducks. (Because ducks don't care about your politics, religion, skin colour, choice of music or even your haircut. They like everyone, provided you bring them food.)

very, very intersting. 
Giving a good yawn, Choo trundled down the stairs towards his dorm. He noticed River laying on the couch watching Staz and Simon speak.
"Morning." Choo said as he walked over.
"Its not that early is it?" asked Simon, a little bit shocked.
"According to the ships computer its about 2am local time." Choo remarked, heading of to his bed. "Oh and, and Zoe reliazed this, but the new guy has only got the clothes on his back so.."
"I'll have a look in the morning." Simon said, then realized something, "i mean later today."
"Same here." remarked Staz, a little lost in thought...

Fanty: "Well, the take is ripe. We just need the right crew."
Mingo: "Not the Walden again. They're unreliable."
Fanty: "Badger's crew?"
Mingo: *curling up his lip and frowning* "Badgers a psychotic lowlife. He could do the job, but I don't want to share profit with him."
Fanty: "And he's not pretty."
Mingo: "Neither are you."
Fanty: "But I'm the pretty one, remember. Brother, what dya say to bringin' in someone new? I hear that there's a Firefly, did some work for Badger a while back."
Mingo: "They ran afoul of Adelai Niska. Can't imagine there's much left but pieces."
Fanty: *turning cortex screen to show Space Station breaking up with Serenity going to full-burn just below* "I can honestly say I don't think that's the case."
Mingo: *Wide, wicked grin* "Well, well. We may just have found the right folks for the job. I may be the pretty one, but you're the one with the brains."
Fanty just winks at Mingo. "I'll ring up a few contacts, see if we can get word out we're looking for a Firefly...one that glows."

Sammy woke to darkness broken only by twinkling holiday lights.
Was it Christmas? It didn't feel like Christmas. She rolled over, her eyes slowly adjusting to the dim light.
"Heya girl." A woman's soft voice nearby.
Fly.
"Doc said you shouldn't be alone, so I thought I'd stay while you slept."
"Where am I?"
The woman smiled, warm and sweet and mysterious, "Oh, Sammy. You're home. You're on Serenity."
"Serenity." Sammy repeated the word softly, but sleep was coming again. She had a vague feeling that horrible dreams had plagued her and she didn't want to sleep, but she was so tired. As she drifted off again, she mumbled, "Serenity...sounds...nice."

OoC:Anyone mind if i do a quick bit of boring back story? well, if you do, mind this post, if you don't read on and THEN jump to the next post! :p

white. A lot can kind of make a man go mad. Really mad, completly bonkers mad. Madder than the mad hatter at a mad hatter convention. Kind of like the mountain range Choo, and his fellow buddies stood on. All the jagged edges were covered in a layer of white snow. Dayton coloney's finest landmark...well, until now...
"Cushty." Jones said, staring at the completly white 'Hugh's Peak', "Four week job at a listening post. Easy."
Choo stared around at the others. The last ten days had been hell, and yet Jones could still mumble on. Out of the twenty five that had gone in, Jones, Marcus, Spud and himself were the only ones left. The others....well...only god truely knows what made adult men and women do that...
"Sure you laid the explosives out correctly spud." said commander Marcus, "'Cause if you havn't..."
"I know...i....know...." muttered Spud. The guy had been really shaken up by the mission. Yeah, THATS the kind of man you put in charge of blowing up thirty floors of an underground 'listening post', Choo thought to himself.
"Good. Been a pleasure surving with you all gentlemen," Marcus said as he pressed the button on the remote.
In the distance Hugh's peak exploded like a firework. The expolsion tore away part of the mountain, sending it into a thousand pieaces. Suddenly the whole mountain range was littered as a shockwave of rocks and debris came straight towards the group and the black ingulfed them finally.
Choo's eyes suddenly shot open. His heart pounding 100 to a dozen. After a while he realized where he was. Getting close again. God what he'd give to know what was really going on up that sodding mountain...yet...
"In the past, its in the past." he mumbled to himself....
Giving a sigh Choo rolled over and went back to sleep.
"in the past..."

I didn't mind Choo.
Somewhere out in the Black onboard the Tiger Claw
*Pain continued to dream of Ertia as he laid there on the cold floor of his room. His dreams of her were nice, focusing on all the good times they had. Pain's face twitched as a smile formed on his face, as he relived the time Ertia and him shared the jacuzzi back on Londinium.*
Meanwhile
The voice on the com woke Melanie up from a dream. She got up from her bed and walked over to the com, pressed the button and said*
Pilot repeat what you just said.
*The pilot responded over the com*
Yes ma'am Captain. I'm picking up a ship on long range sensors following us. From the scans it looks to be heavily armed, probably a military vessel of some sort. Should I deploy the Cub?
*The Cub was a modified NavSat Transmitter fitted with an exact copy of the Tiger Claw's transponder. The Tiger Claw held several Cubs in the lower cargo hold, each one could be launched separately or altogether. Melanie sighed and replied*
Go ahead and deploy it, just remember to turn off the ship's transponder when you activate the Cub. I'll be on the bridge in a few minutes.
*The pilot replied over the com*
Understood Captain.
*Melanie clicked off the com and walked over ornate wooden dresser at the other side of her room, opened a drawer, and took out a silk kimono. She put it on over her bra and panties, tying the sash tight around her waist. She then took the small pistol in its holster and strapped it to one of her smooth thighs within easy reach. Satisfied that she was decent, Melanie exited her room and headed for the bridge.*
Outside of the Tiger Claw
*The lower cargo hold doors opened and an object the size and shape of a standard 55 gallon oil drum silently left the cargo hold. Lights blinked on as it was activated and small thrusters mounted to its exterior came to life, sending the Cub away from its mother. Melanie like the pilot hoped that whoever was following them would take the bait. If not then Melanie would order the gunners to activate the Tiger Claw's weapon systems and fire at the tailing ship.*

OOC: Ah, the Animinaru's back in action, I see. Let's hope Chiko and the boys haven't been slackin' off.
Now, what with the whole Operative transmission and the Fanty/Mingo delightment (I like the twins) I'm assuming we're doing the movie with a slightly different storyline?
NOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
Well, the basic storyline will stay the same, but we ain't killin' anybody (cept maybe that b...Melanie...oh, but that would leave Pain's daughter without a mommy. Non-optimal. hmmm), we'll have to adjust for our current storylines, but since E already knew and worked with Mr. U...I'm guessing he was one of the H or H crowd, then we already have the contact there.
The screams woke her and it was a long moment of Fly shaking her by the shoulders before she realized it was her that was screaming.
"Night terrors." Fly assured her quietly, "I used ta get 'em alot. You get past 'em."
"I heard screamin. You alright?" Kaylee's bunk hatch propped open and Mal dropped down.
She couldn't speak, just shake her head. Mal's expression shifted from alarm to concern, but when he started towards the bunk, she pushed back as far into the corner as she could.
Who was he? Something familiar in that grey gaze, the way it swept her features. But she didn't know him. Then he spoke again, and she recognized the voice on the com, "Heya, mei mei. Havin' bad dreams?"
A nod. Wide eyed.
"s'alright. Bound to happen." Mal stopped, hand on the ladder, his gaze flowing between Fly and Sammy. "Think you ladies can get some breakfast started? Engine-room crew never slept, and I doubt they've had more than Choo's brew to keep 'em goin."
The gunwoman nodded, pushing to her feet and holding out a hand to Sammy,"Yessir. We're on it."
Sammy looked wide eyed between them for a moment. "I... can I cook? I mean... do I cook?"

Onboard the Tiger Claw
*Melanie sat down in the copilot's seat and said to the pilot*
So anything yet?
*The pilot shook his head and replied*
Nothing yet Captain I'm sorry to say. I did everything you asked but the ship hasn't taken the bait yet.
*Melanie muttered something under her breath and said*
Alright keep us on course, I'll notify the gunners and have them ready just in case.
*Melanie grabbed the com, activated the shipwide p.a. and said*
Attention all gunners! We have a heavily armed military vessel tailing us. So far they haven't pounced on the Cub but I'm hoping they will sooner if not later. However I want all gunners to report to your stations just in case go se hits the fans.
*Melanie clicked off the com and thought to herself*
Please Buddha let these hun dans on our tail take the bait.
Just got a short IM from Fly. She wants to come back but needs to catch up a little before she can come and play again.
