Kaylee's Move
Location: Close to Serenity, talking to Inara on the docks.

"This stuff is great, Inara! This perfume smells so good. It reminds me of my first home...had honeysuckle vines growin' right outside my window. Some of River's seein' 'bilities musta rubbed off on ya!" Laughing, Kaylee leans over to give Inara a hug.

Kaylee notices that Inara is looking at something-or someone-over her shoulder. She turns around to look and sees a beautiful Chinese woman walking towards them, carrying two cases. "She looks determined", thinks Kaylee.

"Do you know her, 'Nara?"

As Inara shakes her head, Kaylee turns back to the woman as she approaches them.

Smiling, she asks the woman, "Hey, there! Lookin' for someone?"

Rowan's Move:

ROWAN (to herself): The companion has AMAZING eyes.

Without breaking eye contact or her stride, Rowan moves toward the Firefly, practically to the foot of the boarding ramp. Not four feet from the companion, she pauses and lowers the duffle from her right shoulder. They spend a moment, gazing into each other eyes at first, then perusing further. Rowan wonders if a companion's skin is every bit as luscious as it looks.
-----------------------------------
Kaylee turns back to the woman as she approaches them. Smiling, she asks the woman, "Hey, there! Lookin' for someone?"
------------------------------------
ROWAN (unable to hold back a smile): "After a fashion - I'm looking for passage off planet, but I'm short part of the fee and wondered if your captain would be in the market for short-term crew."

The girl on the mule has a sparkling beauty all her own. Aside from luxurious hair that Rowan once would have given her left thumb for, and sharp luminous eyes, her brilliant smile has more than a thousand watts behind it - a genuine spirit refusing to be contained.

Kaylee's Move
Location: Just outside the ramp of Serenity

"Hmmm...depends on what ya can offer, I guess. The Captain'll be back soon. I'm Kaylee, and this is Inara. What's your name?"

Kaylee smiles at the woman, pushing the wisps of hair off her face. She manages to leave a thin smear of grease across her forehead.

End Move

Rowan's Move:

ROWAN (to herself) If she could be any cuter, I can't see how.

ROWAN to Kaylee: "I'm Rowan. And I can provide just about any service he needs."

She lifts an eyebrow slightly to acknowledge the companion's direction.

ROWAN to Inara: "Not the kind that would infringe on your work, but I have some experience in all manner of tasks from cooking to ship-board computers."

Rowan scans the Firefly and makes note of the name painted on the cockpit.

ROWAN (to herself): Serenity. Nice.

ROWAN: "This is an R3, right? How long since you got to do an upgrade?"

Simon's Move
LOCATION - INFIRMARY

Just minutes after the rest of the crew goes their own way.

Simon sits hunched over on the Cyrocase as River busies herself around the infirmary. He can't close his eyes without seeing horrific scenes of torture flow by seemingly without end.

Long thin glass ampoules filled with a green liquid inserted in a mans unirary tract and smashed...

The slow methodical flaying of deltoid muscle off of a shackled & fettered young female, who's screams have nearly ruptured her throat...

An Achilles tendon being pulled out of a males calf like a packing strap cutting through cardboard and sounding like a grisly shripping sound of torn velcro.

And continuously through these gut wrenching images and screams a soft and strange chuckle floats - a laugh that is somehow insidiously familiar


SIMON
softly almost inaudable
"River ... mei-mei ... help me..."

Inara's turn


Still holding the newcomer's jet black eyes with her own deep brown, Inara is lost in them for a moment. They speak of exotic pleasures and secretive trysts...they also are hard as stone, and a bit colder. A moment before their gazes break, the eyes soften and she sees something there....but then it is gone. Inara shudders as the woman turns to speak to Kaylee. Inara hears her mention her name: Rowan....the tree of protection and sanctuary....quite fitting indeed. She looked like she could protect herself--maybe a few others too.

------------------------------------
KAYLEE: "Hey, there! Lookin' for someone?"
------------------------------------
WOMAN: (unable to hold back a smile): After a fashion - I'm looking for passage off planet, but I'm short part of the fee and wondered if your captain would be in the market for short-term crew.

she lifts an eyebrow slightly to acknowledge the companion's direction.

ROWAN to Inara: Not the kind that would infringe on your work, but I have some experience in all manner of tasks from cooking to ship-board computers.
--------------------------------------

Inara tucks her chin down and smiles--"Very kind of you to consider my work, Rowan...but I don't service those aboard this ship. At least not in any professional capacity"

Inara's eyes twinkle--Mal's face flashes in her subconcious--she feels a small pang of guilt.

Will you come with us? I'm sure the Capitan will be back soon, the least we can do is introduce you to our dear Serenity.

End Inara's turn

It was something, now it no longer is.

River is sorting medicines, and she finds a bottle. It's one she takes. She hands it to Simon.

It'll make the voices go away. You said it would. Ge-ge, I'm here for you.

Kaylee's Move
Location: Still outside Serenity

"Rowan, huh? What a shiny name! Yeah, Serenity's an R3. Haven't had much chance to upgrade NavSats, though. Workin' on the engines right now. Had a bit of a rough ride comin' into Hera, and my girl's banged up some. No worries, though. I got everythin' I need right here to fix her up good and proper."

Kaylee pats the boxes behind her.

"You got a good eye, Rowan. Hope the Cap'n says it's ok for you ta come with us. New people, new stories. Shiny!"

Simon's Move
LOCATION - INFIRMARY

Just minutes after the rest of the crew goes their own way.

Instead of taking the bottle Simon clutches River to him in a bear hug, using her touch to ground himself to the real world

SIMON
takes a shuddering breath
"I never knew ... what they did to you ... what type of human animals live ... Niska ... The Academy butchers ... just for the sake of pain"

strokes River's hair and buries his face in her shoulder.
