Story so far: its been 7 months since the horrific events of "serenity" the word is out on miranda and the alliance has been having a hard time keeping a reign on things. because of this the crew of the serenity have got more compotition than they usually would, as defiance is becoming more and more popular.
although they lost some crew, some dead others leaving due to "personal reasons", they found some shiny new crewmembers happy to take their place.
river is currently acting as pilot with mal helping on that front, and her brain is back to normal (well normal-ish). simon and kaylee are trying something new call a relationaship
and zoes having trouble with the loss of her husband, jaynes just as grotesque and jayne-y as usual, so lets go Into The Black...

As John tinkered with the ship, he came to a realization he hated. The ship felt abnormal, still. 7 months later and things had only gotten worse. Zoe mourned, unconsolable. Their was no more fire in her eyes, she felt empty all the time. Kaylee had all but abandoned John, spending all her time with Simon. Mal was cold always no warmth in his voice not even when he let his guard down. And even with River in the pilot's chair, the bridge was empty.

River had become the one thing that had kept him from just leaving. After Miranda, she came back to who she was. John knew all too well what that was like. They had bonded. He spent hours just sitting in the bridge discussing everythig from quantum theory to Fruity Oaty Bars. She was the only person who felt...better after Miranda. He missed playing cards and laughing at jokes. He missed the captain showing he cared and Zoe shooting the bad guys. He missed awkrard flirting and smiles. He missed Serenity.

Pain's Bunk

Tobacco smoke hung in the air like a thick haze, as Pain sat at his table and field stripped his latest acquisition. She was a thing of beauty and worth the costs incurred. Bullpup configuration, ejection port out near the right side of the barrel which sent spent shell cases away from the shooter, a computerized scope with laser rangefinder and zoom capability, and most importantly of all, a 40mm grenade launcher. It was well worth the cost of his AK-47 along with a couple of pistols and a case of ammo.

"Gorram, baobei, you're quite a beauty." Pain said to the assault rifle in a loving tone. "Gonna have to get some range time with you one of these days, to get the feel for you."

He sat there looking at all her parts laid out in an orderly fashion, with eyes of a lover. It was a look that he had reserved for the women that he loved. Both Fly and Ertia were gone now. Out in the 'Verse living new lives somewhere. He was happy for them, happy that they moved on with their lived, but there were times where he wished it was still the old days and he was with them.

Slowly Pain put the gun back together and sighed. Single life was starting to get annoying at the moment. He needed to to get away from those thoughts and decided he'd distract himself by lifting a few sets of weights in the cargo bay. Locking the gun in his weapons locker, Pain climbed out of his bunk and headed down the stairs to the cargo bay and towards the battered and well used weight bench.

LOCATION CLASSIFIED

*Wolf watched as the last of the shooters fell to the ground, his gun clattering on the hot stone steps. without a glance at the bodys of his fallen enemys he policed their weaponry and ammo. he didn't care about the men, they were just another kill in a long line of kills, but ammunition could cause Wolf to cross the hairline between winning and losing, life and death, getting payed and going hungry.
he made his way back to the extraction point, waiting for him there was a small craft, barely large enough for two people. he climbed into the hatch and closed it behind him, after selecting his course and switching on the auto-pilot, he finnaly sat down.
it had been 7 months of doing jobs for the Independance, taking out important alliance targets, bombing installations and one instance involving a nuke, a chicken, some blu-tac and an alliance shipyard. after miranda the alliance had lost its grip, and up came the Browncoats, some looking for revenge, some new blood, all hating the alliance.
Wolf checked the weapons he had taken from the alliance soldiers, 3 desert eagles, a sonic rifle, a box of fragmentation grenades. nothing worth very much, but THIS was a rare gem, this was what he was here to get, a prototype plasma rifle. it was large enough that it wouldn't fit in a pistol holster but too small for a back sling, he stroked the smooth chamber that fired plasma in excess of 3000 degrees.
Wolf hooked it to the specialy made strap on his belt, and took the controls of the ship.
he set co-ordinates for the Independance base-moon and hit full burn. this would make some Browncoat scientists very happy.*

ISAHIAH

Wednesday, July 2, 2008 9:35 PM

OOC:This is Mobbex... I made a new alt to avoid contaminating this thread with my VFF avatar and sig.

Isahiah awoke with a start, hacking and retching as the noxious fumes exuding from the punctured halomethane tank invaded his airways. His head felt as though it was a couple of size to small for his cerebrum, and a good deal heftier than usual. He let out a short groan as he stumbled to his feet.

"How long was I out?" he thought. The engine room was plunged in semi-obscurity, only seldom lit by the flashing red-lights that bespoke of the rare precariousness of his situation. He could feel blood seeping out of his ears at a steady pace, and was acutely aware of the sizably deep open wound that gashed his forehead and tempe. He had no notion of who or what had injured him, nor could he seem to recollect any of the last day's events. He glanced around the room in search of potential clues, hoping that he would stumble across something that might trigger some shrouded memory, but was brutally brought back to the present as a the floor began to quake under his feet.

"Time to go..." He turned toward the doorway and dashed out of the room, pinning his hope on the chance that the rest of the crew had left at least one escape module behind when they had deserted the ship. He made his way down to the pod bay, and was shocked to discover that not a single of the dozen or so escape pods had been used.

"What in the jiu you happened here?" Once again, he was drawn away from his inquiry by another, this time more violent set of quakes issuing from the decks above. He put off his questions, hopped into the nearest module and sealed the door shut.

"Someone has to pay for this," he thought as he strapped himself in. He grabbed the handle that commanded the release of the docking clamps and yanked it back, feeling an uneasy tingle in his entrails as the compact module began to drift on it's own. He then activated the runaway thrusters and was instantly compressed against his seat by the sheer force of the acceleration. He could feel his features contort under the stress as his of vision progressively faded to black, and was right on the verge of blacking out again when the agonizing pressure finally relented. He unfastened his harness and glanced out the porthole just in time to see the ship disintegrate in the wake of a gigantic fusion explosion.

"Sabotaged... someone betrayed us."

Le BUMP!

Serenity's Cargo Bay

"Gorrammit, Pain, stop hoggin' the weight bench!" shouted Jayne, as he strode on into the cargo bay.

Pain had just finished another set of twenty 300 pound reps and set the weights back down on the bench. Rising up he grabbed his towel, wiped his forehead off, gave a short chuckle and said, "Aw hell, Jayne, if'n I knew you wanted to lift a few I woulda put on the baby weights."

"Ha ha, Pain. You're a ruttin' comedian." snapped Jayne. Lookin' at the weights on the bar, Jayne asked, "Whatchya pressin'? 300? That's pansy liftin'. Hell I'd lay money that pansy ass doc could lift more'n that."

Pain got off the bench, crossed his muscle bound arms across his barrel chest, and said, "Oh really now?" He raised an eyebrow and asked the other mercenary, "You wanna have a lil' competition then?"

"We gonna wager some cashy money?" asked Jayne, his interest piquing at the sound of a weight lifting contest.

"Sure why not. I could always use more of your money." quipped Pain. Taking some money out of his pocket, he counted a few bills and said raising an eyebrow, "How's 300 sound?"

The gears in Jayne's greedy little brain spun like a newly assembled engine as he thought about what he could do with that kind of cash. Finally he said, "You're on, Pain. Slap another hundred on that bad boy and lets see who can bench the most before pussyin' out."

Pain put his cash back into his pocket, shrugged and said, "Fine by me." He walked over to the weights and slapped fifty pounds on each end. Turning to Jayne, Pain said with a smile, "You first."

Jayne grinned and said as he positioned himself on the weight bench, "Easiest cashy money I ever made."

Beylix
*Wolf approached the moon of beylix, the independants base-of-operations, he set the grid co-ordinates and calculated the approach vector, while working out an entry gradient Wolf began to think about his previous mission. It wasn’t good to think too much after an assignment like that, 12 men shot dead by his hand, a thousand more lost in the detonation of three packages of C-12 plastic explosive and the resultant explosion of the hydrogen power cells.
Thinking too hard after a mission like that could allow doubt, and doubt was a luxury Wolf couldn’t afford. He had to get the job done and get out, keep his mind on the job and get on with the next mission. But for some reason this job had got to him, he had killed before, and in much larger quantitiys than that, he had stolen before so no problems there. But what it was Wolf never did find out because at that moment, he got contacts, dozens of them. He reduced his propulsion to below stealth level, and widened the range of his sensors.
There was a battle in orbit, about 36 large alliance destroyers were bombarding the small fleet and 4 orbital cannons that made up the Browncoats defences.
As the Independent fleet readied to fire, Wolf shot to action and was speeding towards the alliance flagship before the 2nd salvo was fired.*

"Kaylee why is my ship not flying reight by now," Mal said struttin into the engine room.

"She ain't in here captain," John replied from somewhere underneath the engine.

"Well where is she?"

"Giving Simon a very passionate hug. The ship can't be fixed till I get some new parts, which won't happen until we get some coin, going back to the argument yesterday, we need work."

"We work"

"Yeah for scraps, we need real work. We need work that pays. Captian I know we went through some hard times but we need to get back into it. It could be easy with the alliance focusing on the new Browncoat Revolution. We can't just keep floatin around waiting for something to hit us."

"Fine, I send out a wave, but most of our people are dead."

SCATHAC

Saturday, July 5, 2008 3:47 AM

Somewhere on Paquin, inside the compound of Master Nguyen Lam:

The room is dim, though a warm fire burns in the hearth, and lends a little light. A haze of incense and herb smoke lies on the air.
"Little daughter." An old man lies in a narrow bed. His eyes are rheumy and dull, and his pale skin drips sweat.
"Yes Sifu," Scathac returns to the side of the bed, changes the herb infused compress on his brow. He has been ill for so long, and she fears for him, but she keeps her face smooth. At first, there was medicine and medical aid, but in the last months, he had refused them.
"Child. It is enough. It is time." He takes her hand. "Daughter. You must take my ashes back to Sihnon. They must rest with the ancestors. Find a ship. Take me home." Scathac looks at the man who found her as a child, and raised her, taught her, loved her. He has other children, other students, but she is the child of his heart, so much like him.
"Of course Sifu. It will be so." Scathac takes his hand.
"I know, my daughter." The eyes close. After I while, the struggled breathing slows, slows, stops.
Scathac stands, crosses the room, opens the door. In the courtyard, all of the students and family wait, sitting in rows, chanting prayers to the Buddha. Master Ngia, Master Lam's oldest son, is waiting near the door. She nodds, and closes her eyes, weeping. Ngia, her brother, rises, turns to the little community. His eyes close in sorrow. There is silence in the courtyard for just a moment, and finally, wailing.
Scathac bypasses the courtyard, wiping the tears from her eyes, and mentally prepares the wave she must send.

the noise alerted several security guards.*

ISAHIAH

Saturday, July 5, 2008 8:45 PM

Isahiah once again awoke in state of fright, abruptly roused from fitful somnolence by the sudden, sibilant hiss relayed by the module's onboard communication array.

"Com chatter! Rosy Mary... that must mean I'm back on the map."Isahiah's breathing slackened and a wisp of a smile fleeted across his face. Up to this point, he hadn't dared to entertain even the dimmest flicker of hope as to his situation.

"It's nothing worth getting all steamed up about, though. I'm still a long way from home... or anywhere, for that matter. But it's a start."

He settled back onto his seat and brought up a hand to prod the compress on his forehead. The fabric felt uncharacteristically tepid and moist to the touch, and he resolved to change it right away. He quickly undid the knot and inspected the makeshift bandage. Sure enough, it was soused in semi-clotted blood and reeked of suppuration. This was bad news. He didn't have much in the way of antibiotics or cauterizing agent near at hand, nor did he possess a sufficient grasp of medical lore to reasonably attempt to close off the wound himself.

He tore off another segment of his shirt sleeve and tied it around his damaged cranium, then reached out a hand and switched on the distress beacon with a flick of the thumb before easing back into his seat again.

I guess it's out of my hands, at this point, he thought. He lifted his gaze and laid idly for a moment, staring at the cosmos, seemingly transfixed by the sight bestowed on him. He could think of worse places for a man to meet his end.

Aiko- I appreciate you taking me on, but I am afraid our paths have seperated.

Tadashi- May you go well, then, and prosper.

Aiko- And may your journeys be succesful.

Aiko walks off the ship, carrying a bag, and is searching for a ship that will take her in the direction she wants to go. She wanders, and then finds the perfect ship. A Firefly, that would be practically tracing the Dandelion's path! She walks up to it and sees a young, slightly plump, cheerful woman sitting in front. Aiko strides up to her.

Paquin

It has been four days since Master Lam's body was cremated. Now the ashes reside in a delicate looking wooden urn, decorated with mosaics of white egg shell. The urn is, in turn, snugged into Scathac's small sea bag. As she wanders the docks, she remembers her last moments with her family. Ngia had given her a small bag of coin to pay her way, plus some credits had been transferred to her name. He knew she would come home, but he also knew that Scathac would take some time to walk the worlds. It was her way.
"Be well, mei-mei," he had said as he hugged her. Scathac had smiled, bowed to her brother, the new Grand Master, and left through the tall gate of the compound.
"Ah. There it is." A Firefly class. She had never travelled in one before. Two people stand in front of the loading bay. One of these people, like her, carries a bag. The other is a cheerful girl, slighly plump. Already Scathac likes her. She waits politely for the two to finish their negotiations.

Kellen's duffel bag was nearly empty, beside a few essentials. The only thing that stopped it being relatively light were the tools, something he had never parted with, even though he wasn't expecting to be a mech' on any boat.

Kellen Murphy was big man, a friendly Scot with an engaging grin, had a fierce pride in his ancestry, and he had been ship born, used to mundane jobs, everything from cleaning to cooking.

Man: You want some good dogs! Veryy, veryy good!

Kellen: Nae, ma' belly isn't guttin ae moment

Man: Wha'?

Kellen passed the man, briefly shaking his head. Just another in the crowded docks, where people were bustling to and from where ever. This was hardly apparent as he stopped in his tracks, his eyes transfixed on the Firefly. He didn't second guess his choice, and made his way to the bay...

Malcolm Reynolds walked toward the small house on the edge of a stretch of carnival barkers and sidesohow freaks. He hadn't been to the carnival side of Paquin in a long time and prefered to keep it that way. The house was decorated with faded stars and a sign by the street advertisd Madame Li's star readings. The building, as Mal knew, was now used by Eliza Halloway, the director of the carnivals. She had the busy job of making sure they didn't go in each others spaces, or steal from each other, and in the case of last week, she dealt with murder.

Mal entered her office flanked by Zoe, who looked somber and militaristic. Eliza greeted them with a smile and a stack of papers. She was middle-aged, but strong in features. She moved with a hint of arrogance and potentially some military time. "It's simple you go you pick up the cargo and you come back. These papers will get you in and out, I expect it within a resonable time or your pay is cut in half. Are we clear. Good have a good day." The conversation was over and she walked back into her office.

-----------------------------------------------

John and River walked into the cargo bay. They approached the door. "Kaylee, do you want to come laugh and the freaks with river and Oh people!. Hello I'm John." Two people had approached the door. One felt sad, she had been grieving. "You caoming aboard?"

Pain walked into the cargo bay via the stairs near the infirmary. Seeing Kaylee and John talking to a few new people, the 6' 8" mercenary moseyed on up between the two crew members.

Resting his hands on their shoulders, the big guy smiled at the newbies and said, "Ni howdy, folks! Name's Pain, I'm one of the ship's hired guns. Pleased to make your acquaintances." He then said to both John and Kaylee in a hushed tone, "We are takin' them on board, right? Cause I don't wanna have to break out the sad, pouty face and the puppy dog eyes."

"This is the cargo bay, you can leave your stuff there for now. This room will be available only at certain times and only when accompanied by a crew member, but you can keep some items with you in your rooms if you stay."

We eat communal meals when we can." he was reminded that Zoe hardly joined them any more. "I didn't really introduce myself. I'm John, I'm a assistant mechanic, and a general hand.

Scathac had enjoyed the tour. A clean ship, a bit shabby around the edges, but tightly run. And the crew all seemed to genuinely like each other. It reminded her of her father's household. There were voices coming from the bridge, just slightly raised, in irritation or perhaps surprise. She paid them little attention, as everything would happen the way that it must. Sooner or later, she would get her father's ashed to the family shrine. Certainly, he would understand if it took a little time.

Still clutching her bag closely to her, Ivy pulled out the coin for her fare and gave it to the Captain just as the portable cortex link in her pocket chimed. She quickly zipped up her bag before pulling it out. She read the message and smiled. As she typed in a short reply, she looked up to see the Captain giving her a somewhat menacing look.

"I just got a message from my grain supplier," she said happily. "He has a customer coming this way who is willing to drop off my order. Isn't that shiny?"

"We don't allow passengers to have these on board. Tends to cause problems," the Captain said. With a slight gesture with his head, he motioned to John who came over and gently removed the device from Ivy's hand. "You'll get it back when you depart. If you need to use it while you're here, just ask one of the crew."

He lead the people to the available passenger dorms and found them all a place to stay.

"This way." So many knew people. It was overwhelming. For the last few months people had only left and only Inara returned, but now so many knew people. Of course there was a downside. People have secrets, dangerous secrets that could get someone hurt. He needed to find out these people's secrets before they could. There was an easy way if he couldn't figure out if they were potentially dangerous himself. He realized they could all be normal, but he wasn't very trusting and needed to know for sure. He walked into the bridge to find the captain talking to River about the course. "Everyone's settled captain, we're good to go."

Ivy was going to her bunk when she felt the ship take off. She always loved the feeling of leaving atmo, although she had done it quite infrequently. This new job postion was very exciting for her. She was out of the lab and into the world. Instead of just developing the plants, she was being able to see them get out into the world and actually get used. She knew that once she got to the end of her trip on this ship, that she would have to find a place to set up shop, but where she was would be just shiny until then.

Ivy opened the door and cheked out her bunk. It’s small, but it is nice. She unclutched her small bag and stuffed it under the mattress. That didn’t hide it very well, so she shoved it in the corner of the bed and put her pillow up against it. She stood up and inspected her work.

“It’ll be fine.”

She walked out to the cargo bay and noticed her order from the grain store had been delivered. She squealed and rushed out to it. There were three large crates. One was marked equipment. The other marked Edible/Genseed. The last one was marked Flower/Plants. She eagerly began to opened the crates and pulled some things out.

“I can’t believe they took your cortex link.”

“It’s no big deal,” Ivy answered. “I can live without it. They said they would give it back later”

“What if you need help? You don’t know these people.”

“I have a good feeling,” smiled Ivy. “It feels homey here.”

“If it is all the same to you, I’ll look into getting that link back to you.”

“It’s OK, Tommy,” sighed Ivy. “You worry too much.”

Ivy closed up her crates, gathered up her stuff and skipped cheerily off to her bunk while whistling a lively tune.

Meanwhile, on the bridge…

River stiffened a bit.

“Something wrong, Albatross?” Mal asked.

“Don’t know,” she answered.

“Don’t know?” Mal asked. “That doesn’t make me feel better.”

“Just got a glimpse…”

“Of what?” Mal asked, getting impatent.

“We may have a stowaway.”

“Jen dao mei,” Mal muttered as left the cockpit. “Guess I’ll be searching now. Now, where are the others? Some help would not go unnoticed.”

"Is it bad that I feel something has to be wrong 'Nara?" He found himself in her shuttle enjoying some tea. They had developed a relationship with each other that was therupeutic, with each sharing problem and getting the others advice. She knew most of his secrets and he knew many of hers, but the trust was solid.

"Well it only seems natural considering. We've had problem with mysterious passengers in the past if you've forgotten, but if they come to belong here, their problems won't matter and if this is only temporary, we can handle it."

John took a deep breath through his nose savoring the aroma of the tea. She was right, she was always right. They had been through hell and were still flying. "It just after what happened with Knives..." he felt a presence stern and emotionless except for a hint of worry mixed with anger. "Captain's coming"

He barged in in his normal fashion turning to John. "River thinks there might be a stowaway, think you can sniff out the passengers for me."

"Mal I find it hard to believe you still need reminding not to enter my shuttle." She was blushing, just a little. The captain and her had been excessively flirting in their normal way. Not to mention what had happened on Three Hills.

"Captain I'm not your personal psychic, get River to do it."

"River is flying my boat."

"Fine," he placed down his tea and stood, "but I can't make any promises."

It had been a while since she had been among so many people. The noise of the docks had been stressful after the quiet of her family compound.

John walked into the passenger dorm and closed his eyes. He had to plow through the layers of emotion coming from Simon's bunk but managed to do so. Two people were having a conversation, one seemed nervous the other not so much. He might need to talk to her. He was about to do so when he realized that someone was out of there bunk. He walked around the ship eventually arriving in the cargo bay. He found her sitting by some large boxes. This made him nervous, because sometimes boxes contained naked girls. He made his way toward her and was hit by a basic emotion pattern, excitement, anxiety and something deeper hidden from him. He didn't recognize the sensation yet at the same time it felt familiar. He walked toward the girl. "What's in the boxes?" he said it a friendly curious way not a crazy suspicious one

Ivy straightened up to full standing height and turned to face him. She was bouncing a bundle of flower bulbs in her right hand.

“Well these are for flowers. I have a little of everything. I’ve been out here and back to my dorm a few times already,” she gushed. She smiled at him widely. “Is there some kind of plant you like? I have a little of everything. I could make something for you.”

“Um…” John started before Ivy resumed talking, cutting him off.

“Oh! I also have some veges, fruits, flowers, general plants and even some herbs!” Ivy continued on. “I just love matching plants up with the right person. Did you know tending to them is very therapeutic?”

“Er…” John started again before being interrupted again.

“So what is your favorite? I don’t know enough about you to try to hook you with just the right thing,” Ivy giggled. “Tommy calls it plant matchmaking and also thinks I am silly when I try. But I think I am pretty good at it once I know more about a person. And I have to know you. Matching plants to people’s personalities isn’t something you can do on a whim.”

“Ah…” And he was interrupted again.

“So anyway, Tommy thinks it’s silly, but I don’t care,” Ivy went on, but managed to change the subject. “So how long have you been here? I like this ship. It’s very cool. I haven’t been out in the black for a while. My old position had me all cooped up in a lab doing plant development and research. Well enough about boring old me. What exactly do you do here?”

The cheerful giddiness that marked her disposition earlier returned quickly. “Not been around plants much? You mean there aren’t any on board? I’ll have to talk to your Captain. You know it would help with the air quality in here if you all had more plants on board. Sooo, how long have you been here, working on this ship? Anything exciting ever happen around here?”

The plant bulbs switched back to the left hand again for another couple of split seconds before shifting back to her right.

“Tommy? We grew up together. We’ve been best friends forever,” Ivy said as she tossed the flower bulbs back into the crate, then picked up a couple of completed terrariums. “I’m going to go put these in my dorm. Don’t want them in anyone’s way.”

“Oh… Thank you so much!” Ivy said as she handed Kellen two out of the three terrariums she was carrying.

Kellen helped her carry them to her dorm. She opened the door and then took them from him, setting them down wherever she could.

“Hi, I’m Kellen. I bunk up there,” he said as he pointed to one of the upper dorms.

Ivy shook his hand.

“That’s so shiny! I almost asked for one of those too, but it would have been too hard to cart things in and out.”

Kellen looked around the room. Aquarium looking things with special lights for growing plants and such were stacked everywhere. Even on the bed.

“All that gonna fit in there?”

Ivy looked back at what she had.

“Hell no!” she laughed giddily. “Getting the stuff growing right away will help me get ready for when I find a permanent place to set up shop, but in the meantime, I’m gonna end up sleeping somewhere else.”

“Somewhere else?”

“I saw a couple of couches that looked comfy. I just hope no one gets angry.”

“What’s with all the stuff though?”

“Oh! I’m a botanist. I got a new position within my company. I will be selling seed or plants or flowers or herbs to people out this way.”

“Herbs? What kind?”

“Basil, Oregano, Rosemary, stuff like that,” she said. She started looking around. “Where did I put that one? I already got it made up.”

“I plan on doing the cooking here. If I had the coin, I would buy some from you. Fresh herbs like that would be a plus in the galley.”

She turned and looked at him, excitement evident on her face.

“What a good idea!” she gushed as she gave him a big hug. “No need for any coin though. I need to get some of these things planted so that any customers I might have could inspect them. As they grow, they will need to be harvested so that it doesn’t get too cramped for space. Once that happens, it will become unhealthy and could kill the plant. I could give you one of these with herbs in it. You could keep it in your room, in the galley by the cooking area or wherever you want.”

After looking for a moment, she finds the terrarium and hands it to Kellen. He took it eagerly.

“This is real nice, but don’t you need it?”

“Like I said, just enough to show customers. You can use what you like as long as you make sure there is always some left. They regenerate rather quickly, so as long as you don’t go all wild with them, they should stay pretty plentiful.”

Kellen got a wide smile of his face too.

“That’d be great. Maybe help me plead my case to the Captain.”

“Your case?”

“I love to do this for a living some day. Maybe become part of the crew.”

“I haven’t had your cooking yet, but I’m sure it will be perfect,” she genuinely said.

“Thanks.”

Ivy hugged Kellen again, excitement and enthusiasm bubbling over. Kellen headed out to put the terrarium somewhere. Ivy closed the door and turned back to look at her work.

“This is going to be so shiny!” she exclaimed. “I almost wish we could stay right here.”

“Don’t get so used to it. You know it is temporary. Besides there are too many people. We don’t know anything about these people.”

“Oh Tommy! You need to have faith.”

“Faith has nothing to do with it. Was it faith who got you out of that Hell hole you were in? No. It was me.”

“I know,” Ivy conceded as her mood became more somber. “But these people. They seem very nice-“

“We know nothing about them. Already you have someone grilling you. What was his name?”

“John.”

“He’s too nosey.”

“He’s just a nice guy. Probably just doing his job.”

“I guess so,” Ivy murmured as she sat defeated on an empty patch on the floor.

Pain's Bunk

He was bored and tired, tired and bored. Granted there had been an influx of passengers who were all shiny in their own way, but he really wasn't in the mood for idle chit chat or small talk with them. Normally he would've taken the initiative to talk with them, but for some reason in the past seven months, his need to talk to others had diminished somewhat. The reasons for it could've stemmed from the fact that most of the people he cared about had either left the ship, died, or just plain disappeared. He had planned on talking to the doctor about it, but he was too busy "having fun" with Kaylee.

Pain rolled over in his bed and looked at the time. He had another three hours of sleep out of five before he did his routine night sweep. He didn't mind it of course. The only sounds during his sweeps had been the sound of Serenity's engine humming, the twitters and tweets of her sensors and various electronic devices, and of course there was the occasional sound of Kaylee and Simon rutting like a couple Jinye prairie dogs. However he was sure there would be new ones now that Serenity had taken on passengers. Passengers the captain reminded Pain, that needed to be watched just in case any of them tried to get the drop on them.

Lying on his back, Pain closed his eyes and tried his best to get in three hours of shuteye.

Suddenly...

Softly slipping sidewall along the hallway, a shadow slithered sneakily, slumbering shootists on his sly mind.

Now moving with absolutely no alliteration whatsoever, 13 plunked his way (quite gracefully, I may add) to a door. Behind it, lay his destiny, the build-up of his entire life. His existence manifest, his reason to be, his purpose. All he'd ever done, he had done for this moment.

There were no regrets as he shouted the following into the bunk of the one known as DrPain:

"PAIN! WHAT'S WITH THE SLEEP, DAWG? WANNA GET PUZZLED ON SOME BREW OR WHAT?! MEAD, DOGGIE! LIKE OLD TIMES!"

Q: Fish or Hogarth?

Pain was startled awake by the shouting, causing him to fall out of his bed with a great "kerplunk". Instinctively he reached up and grabbed the .45 caliber semi-automatic from underneath his pillow. Getting up off the cold metal floor and silently cursing himself for getting spooked so easily, he quietly strafed towards the ladder leading up to his bunk's hatch. There was an electronic "whir" as he cocked back the hammer and aimed his pistol up at the person responsible for waking him up.

A brief look of puzzlement sat on the big merc's face as his eyes readjusted themselves to the light. When they were finally able to refocus, he suddenly recognized the face and the voice of the person looking down into his bunk. Lowering the gun, Pain asked, "Bot Boy, that you?" Decocking the hammer and putting the safety on, Pain slid the pistol into his waistband and said smiling, "Aw hell sure I'm up for a brew. How in the rutt did you get aboard the ship anyhow?"

"Something like that." quipped Pain, returning his old friend's smile as he exited his bunk. Closing the hatch behind him, he asked, "What about that planet or moon that you were on? Thought you liked it there."

Quote:
"Zenith got all boring on me. Thought tracking down the old gang might be fun."

"Yeah we're a barrel of riotous laughs over here." Pain replied sarcastically. "Can't keep a straight face for more than five minutes."

Quote:
The pair continuing into the Galley, 13 queried (voice dripping with dubious tones), "So. How's E? Still pretending she doesn't know how to shoot?"

That question stabbed Pain in the heart like a razor sharp dagger of ice. It brought back memories of the woman he loved and cared about more than his own life. The same woman who was raped and developed amnesia when he was kidnapped all those months ago by pirates. He still remembered her telling him that it'd be better for both of them if they broke up and went their separate ways.

Walking over to the pantry, he pulled out two bottles of Blue Sun Beer and said as he handed one over to 13, "Don't rightly know. We split up five months ago." Popping the cap off his bottle, he sat down and continued, "Last time I heard from her, she said she was doin' well. Went back to bein' a hacker with the underground or somethin' like that."

He took a healthy swig from his bottle, almost downing half of it before setting it down with an audible "klink". Letting out a loud belch, he looked to 13 and said, "Haven't heard from her since."

Walking up towards the galley, Cate hears murmuring and then a belch.

She doesn’t eavesdrop as she enters to see who is still up at this hour, but feels lonely for human company seeming as she didn’t bring her dog with her onboard the ship.

Two men are having beers and talking, but they stop and look at her suspiciously, and she immediately can tell that they don’t trust her as far as they can throw her. Then again, since the Miranda wave, everybody has been uptight and edgy.

“Am I welcomed or should I leave you two for alone?” she asks quietly.

Scathac watched Kellen leave with some disappointment. It had felt good to talk to someone, to possibly make a friend. She missed the family dinner she would have had tonight, if she had not left the compound. All of her brother and sister disciples, and the younger students who had not received the disciple's belt yet, would have been lively with jokes and stories. After the meal, there may have been songs and music.

Oh well, she thought, and pushed the loneliness out of her mind. Tomorrow, she would speak to the Captain about an escort to the hold so that she could practice for a few hours. In the meantime, she was would sleep.

Ivy arranged the terrariums around her dorm, making sure she secured them in case things got rough when coming in and out of atmo. It was pretty full with only a small path to the sink and to the drawer where she could put her belongings. She was tired and the ship was starting to settle into a nighttime routine. She looked at her bed, which was covered by terrariums. She had been correct in telling Kellen that she’d have to find a place somewhere else on the ship to sleep. She changed into a pair of sleep pants and a T-shirt, then pulled a blanket out of her duffle. Then she grabbed another item and shoved it into the blanket as well.

She wandered out of her dorm and into the common area by the infirmary. She found a couch there and curled up in the corner. She covered herself with her blanket and pulled out the other item. It was a gun.

“Don’t worry Tommy,” she whispered as she yawned. “I can use it if I have to.”

“Well I think you know which end to point where.”

“That’s all that matters.”

“You need to learn how to shoot that thing. May save your life some day.”

“Maybe,” Ivy answered, her eyes getting heavy.

She tucked the gun under the blanket, pulled the blanket up to her chin and closed her eyes, hoping that no one cared that she was sleeping out there. It didn’t take long until she was fast asleep.

After a few minutes, her eyes opened sharply and she sat up. She cast off the blanket and the gun switched into her left hand. She stood up and looked around.

“Someone has to go check out this place.”

She walked away softly, but with a definite confidence in her step.

"13," repled 13.

"Go by Pain." The larger man grunted.

"Shiny." Cate smiled at them warmly. "Nice to meet you both."

Both of their replies were just another swig of beer.

Hello, Kellen! That is your name, right? Would there be any chance that you might be able to escort me to the bridge? Since you've applied to be crew and all? It would be a shame to be traveling in space without having once seen the stars, wouldn't it? I've always wanted to be among the stars since I was a little girl, you know, but it's just like being in an ordinary building right now, and it just doesn't seem right, being in a spaceship and all.

John's eyes burst open. He had a feeling, a bad one. He crept to the passenger dorm and sighed. The numbers didn't match up. People were wanderin and it didn't seem like they could all be in the galley. He began to walk the ship trying to find people. He decided to start with the galley and go from there. He saw that only one of the passengers was in their and got worried. He walked in, "Pain we got people where they maybe shouldn't be."

She wandered into the infirmary and set the gun on the counter as she started going through the cabinets quietly.

"An infirmary. How convenient."

She admired the orderliness of it's inventory. Suddenly, she came across a particular drug: Kepraftin.

"Now why would this be stocked on a ship like this?"

"It's also a mild pain killer," Ivy said softly.

"Go back to sleep Ivy!"

"O-Ok." And Ivy did as she was told.

The contents of the bottle was poured down the drain and the water was turned on to make sure they were gone for good.

She switched off the water, picked up the gun and continued on her trek.

"I have to find that cortex link."

She made her way up the stairs until she was just outside the galley. She stayed in the shadows and peeked in. Three people sat at the table, dinking from bottles. Probably an alcohol of some sort. She weighed the chances of going on in and joining them, but decided against it. One of them, a big guy, looked in her direction and paused for a moment. Did he see her? She flattened herself harder to the wall, making sure she stayed in the shadows. His attention was diverted from her direction when she heard the voice of the guy Ivy talked to earlier.

Rushing to the comm on the wall, Pain switched onto the P.A. and said into it, "Attention all crew! We have a person or persons walkin' about without permission! Please get your pigus out of bed pronto! We're goin' on lockdown!"

Pulling the large .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol from the back of his waistband, Pain said to both Cate and 13, "Cate, get back to your room please. 13, you're with me."

After saying that, Pain left the galley, pistol in hand and with an overly eager 13 behind him.

Doc stalked back to her office, the video meeting with Commander Apush over.
'Stupid buricrats!'
Doc thought as she threw back a glass of whiskey, and then poured herself another from the crystal decanter.Doc thought back to the lattest demands made of her by the Commander.
*Flashback*
"There is a problem that I have had for quite sometime. It has just come to my attention, Col.Von Werston, That you are in a possition to take care of it for me."
Doc looked at Commander Apush with thinly vieled bordem.
" What sort of problem could I possibly help you with?"
There is a ship, a firefly class transport named Serenity, it has been reported in your area. I want you to find it..."
Doc cut him off
"And what? Sieze the ship for no reason and throw everyone onboard in my brig?"
"At one point in time, yes. But as I was saying, you will find this ship. It has been deemed a potental threat to the Alliance, and we want you to analize the threat pottental of it and it's crew. And, if necessary, take care of it."
Genuinly curious, Doc asked the one question on her mind. "Why this ship?"
Commander Apush ended the link.

'Thinking that I can make all his problems go away. Hell! Thinking I WILL make his problems go away just because he is higher up then me.'
Doc now held the report from their database. A flag on a Firefly class transport for multiple counts of smuggling and robbery. Oh, and of course the part where the government suspects that fugitives are on board, and one of them is from a Alliance high security clearence project.
'Commander Apush thinks like all of the Alliance buricrats. That the Alliance is invincible. It's time that he learned that out here on the fringe nothing is invincible.'

It is the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting

Quietly, she opened the long wooden case and pondered it's contents. Finally, she withdrew her sword. An ancient style, hearkening back to China on Earth-That-Was, Scathac held it expertly, and backed into the wall next to her door. She opened the latch and listened.

"I gotta hide."

Ivy nodded her head slightly as a sense of vertigo washed over her. Shakily, she took the gun back with her right hand, shoved it back in between the cushions, pushing it deep inside and hiding it from view. Then she fell back against the sofa, closed her eyes and faded into a semi-unconscious state.

"I think we're all clear captain" John said to him, "I'll make sure we don't have a situation like this."

Once inside, she starts pacing through boredom and frustration, until a rustle in her sleeve distracts her from doing so. The sleeve rustles some more, and then a little brown mouse comes scampering up her arm. Aiko smiles, and starts talking to it.*

"I'll bet you're hungry, aren't you?"

"Would you like to do a little spying for me, little one?"

"I think I might be a little too paranoid... it can't hurt, but I think there's a limit... ah well, I'm just being nervous... new enviroment, not being entirely welcomed, when I'm only quasi-legal anyway... and I suspect these are ruffians too, not entirely legal themselves... something of interest, but very dangerous...

"Leave it here; too many people still about."

Ivy nodded and shoved it back down in. and picked up her blanket. She was feeling a bit shaky about this evening's events so she decided to go back to her bunk. Maybe she could wedge herself into a corner and try to get some sleep.

"You shouldn't wander about so much, Tommy," Ivy whispered under her breath.

"Those people are a little trigger happy. We need to get off this ship."
