SIMON LOOKS UP AS RIVER SPEAKS. HIS FACE IS CONTORTED IN CONTROLLED PAIN

SIMON
"Mei-mei ... I did something ... really stupid... as usual.

TRIES TO LAUGH, BUT SUDDEN PAIN FORCES HIM TO PRESS THE HEELS OF HIS HANDS INTO HIS TEMPLES AND THEN SLIDES HIS HANDS OVER HIS FACE.

Thorne:

Thorne slowly climbs to the edge of the bar, and gestures to the bartender.

"Hey! Beer me!"

The bartender draws a liter stein and slides it down the bar. Thorne catches it in passing,chugs half, sets the stein on the bar, and gazes at it fondly.

"Beer. Foamy."

He chugs the other half and produces a contented belch.

Kaylee's Move
Location: Back of the Mule, heading out for parts.

Looking back into the bay, Kaylee sighs as she sees the interaction between Simon and River. Her thoughts travel back to the farm where she grew up, running around after her brothers...playing with the machines they managed to break. She misses them something fierce, but tries not to let it bother her. She's with people she loves, doing work that she loves just as much. She's even able to send most of her take back to her parents.

Sitting behind her Captain, she watches Hera unfold before her and thinks wistfully about her first home.

End Move

Book's Move

Location: Cargo Bay

Book remains silent during the Captain, Kaylee and Zoe's departure. He doesn't need to move closer to hear the conversations with Simon. He merely observes Simon closely, waiting for a sign he doesn't want to see.

Book to himself

"That boy's done something foolish and I fear he's not gonna be the only one to pay for it."

Feeling that Jayne could benefit from his experience, (and the cap'n could've left someone better in charge,) Book leaves River and Simon in the cargo bay and goes to the bridge.

Here's some coin to spend. Take the mule with you. We'll meet up later at the ship. Dong ma? If you run into troubles just yell on the link and we'll come a runnin'!" [Turns to Zoe.] Says to Zoe:"Well, lets meet our contact. [Turns and heads into bar. Asks bartender where he can find someone named Thorne. Bartender points him out.Mal orders a glass of beer, then heads on over.] Says to Thorne:"Nice day today. Ever do any hunting? I do. Ran into a Badger I just couldn't seem to do away with back on Persephone. You know the kind of "Badger" I'm talking about friend?"[Has Zoe on other side of Thorne as he's talking. Mal keeps his hand on pistol grip. Waits tensely for Thorne's reply.]END TURN.

Thorne's move

Thorne looks up at Mal, and Mal, and Zoë, and Zoë.

“Who ‘r you wans’a know? I’ll tell you summin…I…I…Oh. ‘scuse me jus’ a sec. Whoa, Nellie!”

Thorne struggles to his feet, swaying and looking slightly green. He closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, bends forward at the waist clutching both the bar and his stomach, and suddenly...snaps erect and opens his eyes. He is now stone cold sober, with the color returning to his face.

“Ah, better now. Captain Reynolds, I presume?”

At Mals’ nod he removes a small rectangle of white cardboard from his pocket. With a flourish he hands it to Mal. The card reads:

Roosevelt Thorne
Expediter
Import/Export
Salvage
c/o Hara Cary Bar, Hara

“ I’m Roosevelt Thorne. Most just call me Rosie, so you might as well. Lets get a table and get down to business.” Aside to Zoë. “Ma’am, have we met before? You do look familiar. No? My bad then.”
