(El, Kat and O2 make it to the Alliance station without any problems. Inside the station they find a small alliance transport vessel. After two days time, O2 and El get it running. They make it back to the other with no trouble.)
**At basecamp**
El:Don't know about you guys but I'm itching to get back to the verse.
Kat: Tell me about it. I miss the rest of the crew.
El: Yeah, we'll be at full strength again.
(Claire steps up and wraps her hand around El's
Claire: Something is bothering you. You can't hide it from me.
El: I've had time to think on this planet. I've made a decision. I'm done running. It's time I take the fight back to Cole and the Alliance. They have to be stopped. Their is much he has to atone for, and I will see him pay for what he did to her....
Claire: Did what to who?
(El, realizing he said to much walks away mumbles something about having to do a last minute check and heads off.)
Claire: As much as I care for him he still won't open up to me.
Kat: Trust me, he will talk when he's ready. He is one of the bravest men I've ever met, but he is still to afraid to speak about his past.
Claire: Someday he will tell me what happened to him 16 years ago.
(A few hours later, the transport shuttle departs, leaving Miranda behind. The only thing making the lone ship noticeable is a single transmission aimed at Tranquility.
When you can't run you crawl. When you can't do that...well...you know the rest.

Shadow was avoiding this question by Wisp, but now that he would be joining the crew, he should know about who really is on board.
Shadow had been secretly monitoring Shinyfrye, each time he went to the bridge, stopping at the medlab and watching the medlab
from the monitor on the bridge.
"Yes, we do have a mechanic. Her name is Shiny.
She's recovering in the medlab. I saw Oreo take her there on the monitor before he left.
He's now on his way back here. So the current crew consists of Shiny, Wash the pilot, Oreo and myself."
As Shadow finished his sentence, Washes voice came over the speakers:
"Um Cap., we've got another shuttle on the edge of the radar coming straight at us."

Shadow rushes back to the bridge to see this new shuttle headed their way.
Wash:
"Cap, the second shuttle has an Alliance signature."

"Well, let's just hope that Oreo gets here 1st so I can kill him before the Alliance kills us."

( oreo sits in the swivel chairs rubbing his forehead, but he's not concerned what the captain will do to him. lock him up, oreo would just escape. the captain could shoot him, but oreo been shot plenty. it'd be like trying to chop a tree with a small pistol and a heck of alot of bullets. what oreo was concerned about was what the captain was going to say, not even really that. it was if and when shiny find outs. Oreo has let her down so many times and now this. his half ass plan to do nothing but take the shuttle out for a joyride. Things weren't easy like it used to be. Oreo felt as if he was growing weak and tired. his thought process slowed. he shake his head to try and cler the cob web outta his head, when suddenly a flashing light catches his eye.)
Oreo- what the hell is that?
(Oreo leans over the montior and see a shuttle closing in not far behind him. it's closes in rapidly.)
Oreo- where did a little bug like you come from. ain't a planet around. ain't no ships around either...how...
(oreo leans in closer and notices an alliance badge on the the side of the shuttle)
Oreo- hu dahn!
Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.

“Repairs are gonna have to wait a spell by the looks of things” Alliance, half Reavers, what the hell had he gotten himself into here? Leaving the engine room he casually picked up the stun rifle he’d left by the door earlier. He attached it to the back of his suit now so he could access it with a moment’s notice and headed to the bridge.
“Hey gents what’s going on now?” Wisp said as he entered the room causing Wash to turn from his duties.
“Who’s he?” He asked.
“New guy” Replied Shadow “Now forget about him and tell me what’s going on with that shuttle”
Wisp moved himself to the co-pilot seat and began to activate the long range sensors. He was then appalled at the low resolution they provided. He would have to give these a serious overhaul with parts from his ship but for now he could only tweak and fine tune.
“Captain Shadow there’s a transmission coming through from the alliance shuttle. Erm. Interference is a little high at this range lemme clean it up. There we go. It says ‘Elbarto STOP Returning from Miranda STOP’ thats all there is does it make any sense to you?”
The captain paused for a moment before a grin overcame his face “Well I’ll be. Looks like everyone’s coming home for the party”
There was a beeping on Wisps space suit followed by the flashing of a green light on the console in front of him “One more thing Captain. Atmosphere is back up to 60% we can go around without respirators now, just don’t push yourself too hard its still pretty thin”
As the Captain and Wash unslung the respirators from their mouths Wisp unbuckled his helmet with a satisfying hiss and placed it on the ground beside him. Wisp shook his hair out and cracked his neck from side to side. The Captain then got a good look at Wisp for the first time. He looked in his early twenties, boyish charm with thick black hair that clung untidily due to sweat from his space suit. He guessed him to be around 5ft10 maybe 11 it was hard to tell as he still wore the rest of the suit. Wisp was a pretty healthy guy, not built with muscle but toned. Wisp may not have been a big muscle bound weight lifter but he could do any job that needed doing.
“Captain the flight plans of those two shuttles are converging. They should be here in no time”

"Shiny, lets prepare for their arrival. Wisp, can you see if the Alliance shuttle that Elbarto has apparently stolen, is compatible for docking and integration with a firefly '03 model? Shiny Frye is in the medlab. She can help you with the mechanical."

"Wash, stay here and act as 'ground control' as the 2 shuttles converge, and guide them in.
If you want, you can have Oreo land a mile away and make him walk the rest of the way."
That made them all smile.

As Wisp heads off the bridge, Shadow says:
"We'll all sit down in the galley once we're in the black and explain our stories to each other, dong ma?"
