MERZ MOVE

LOCATION - Galley

MERZ approached ZOË.

MERZ
Well, I am not at all sure where to begin. Perhaps we should head to the bridge, look around and see what options are available to us. There may be provisions already built into Serenity for bringing a external cradle inside under power. We should bring KAYLEE along also, I feel certain.

EOM

OOC: this is just a quickie until I get home from work. Astriana - Boomer, you got any ideas post 'em or email me. Debs

OOC: This actually is happening prior to the BDM (Big Damn Meeting) but couldn't be posted prior to the placeholder since I was out racing. No actual disruption of the space-time continuum has occurred.

Thorne's Move:
Location: Galley
Time 3:05ish

Thorne is still thinking of his upcoming evening with Inara when she walks into the galley and lights up the entire room with her smile. Meeting her alone was worth the trip, no matter how the rest of the deal goes down.

INARA: "Good evening, Mr. Thorne....are both our timepieces so very out of sync with the rest of the ship? The meeting should be starting, shouldn't it?"

THORNE: "No, my dear, all the clocks are correct, but I've noticed that some of our fellow travelers seem to have a rather slippery notion of how they should be read. Anyone who believes time is an absolute should avoid traveling on this ship, unless they truly want their faith tested.

But here come some of the less chronologically-challenged now."

Thorne nods towards the door as Merz, and a moment later River, enter the Galley.

Damon's turn:
LOCATION - GALLEY

Damon steps back as people begin moving toward the doors. He watches Jayne, ready to head down to the cargo bay as soon as Jayne gives the word.

OOC- not much of a post, but I don't have much to go on until the mega chat is posted.

I'm not broken, in my dream I win...

Kaylee's Move
Location: Galley to ?

Kaylee lifts her head as Mal's meeting comes to a close. The conversation had just sort of drifted over her, not really making much of an impact.

"Stupid drop," she thinks. "Just one more job on one more moon. S'not like it matters anyway. Simon's out there, all alone, doin' somethin' he shouldn't be. Doesn't anyone else care 'bout that?"

Getting to her feet, she drifts over towards Zoe & Merz. She figures they'll need her help, sooner or later.

End Move

JONAS HEXX

In the cramped cabin of a no-frills converted troop transport, Hexx is sleeping restlessly. Nightmarish dreams and half-remembered memories come flooding back to him. Foggy medical procedures mixed in with a jumble of nonsensical missions to bizarre places give him a sense of being in a carnival fun-house gone mad.

(Noises in the darkness.)Bip, beep, bip, beep.

Hexx awakens instantly to the soft alarm of his "pocketwatch". He flicks on the overhead light and clicks open the device.

(Words flash across the face of it like blue flames.)Message reads:Hexx, Unfriendly Traders have acquired Bank Property with intent to sell. We wish for you to persuade Traders to return said Property post-haste. If Traders decline, close all accounts. Use of Extreme Prejudice is authorized in regards to buyers. Recover and return Property at all costs. Confidence is high Transaction location is on New Hokaido. Proceed there at once. Compensation package will be generous. Signed, The Bank.

Hexx finishes reading the message and presses the ACCEPT stud on the watch, closes it and returns it to his vest pocket.

Hexx says to himself:"No rest for wicked me."

Hexx takes out a hand-held device and schedules an express trip from Greenleaf to New Hokaido. That done, he looks in the corner of the cabin. There, sitting like a square of midnight is the Box. Hexx, with a mixed rush of excitement and dread, opens it and proceeds to get the tools of his trade in readiness.

EOM.

Jayne's turn:
LOCATION - GALLEY

Jayne's face become thoughtful and serious as he watches Rowan's back. With a lurch he turns to lock eyes with Damon, who calmly waits for instructions.

Jayne
"Say, Why don't you make yerself useful an go find them rails behind the infirmary. Haul 'em into the cargo bay an' come git me in my room when yer done. Don't knock, just walk on in and git me."

Without even a pause for Damon to acknowledge him, Jayne darts out of the Galley and towards the front of the ship.

ZOË'S MOVE:
LOCATION - GALLEY

MERZ: "Well, I am not at all sure where to begin. Perhaps we should head to the bridge, look around and see what options are available to us. There may be provisions already built into Serenity for bringing a external cradle inside under power. We should bring KAYLEE along also, I feel certain."

ZOË: "Think you might have the right idea. KAYLEE's like to take it amiss if we start talkin' 'bout modifyin' her girl without her say-so."

ZOË turns and notices KAYLEE absently walking toward them. Immediately grasping the meaning of the woman's distraction, ZOË realizes that she hasn't yet seen the data stick that SIMON left behind.

ZOË: "MERZ, looks like KAYLEE's headed this way. The two o' you wait here just a minute while I speak with the captain."

ZOË approaches MAL and waits for his attention. Upon receiving it, she speaks.

ZOË: "Sir, any idea who was the last person to have that data stick the doc left behind? There's a few left who ain't heard what he meant for 'em yet. No sense draggin' it out, and it might give us an idea where he is an' what he's doin'.

ZOË glances meaningfully in KAYLEE's direction.

END MOVE.

ZOË glances meaningfully in KAYLEE's direction.

Mal nods to Rowan and turns to see where Zoe is looking. Suddenly he remembers the missed wave from Simon.

MAL: ...with concern... Durn it, with all the prep for tomarrow, I forgot to let Kaylee know that Simon has tried to wave us." ...thinks for a moment... "Wash got the answering system booting back into operation, so if Simon jingles again, he can leave a message. Let Kaylee know he tried to wave us"

Looks again to Kaylee with a mixture of concern and paternal love.

MAL
"I dunno who has the memory stick." ...pauses to BELLOW to the room at large...

"HEY, who has been hoarding the message stick that Simon left for ALL of us?"

"Remember, there is only ONE absolute - There ARE NO absolutes!!!"

Damon draws a breath to ask what he's doing and how long he'll be but Jayne turns and hurries out of the room before he can utter a word.

Guess it won't make much difference...

He turns and glances at Inara on his way toward the door. She seems to be in a good mood, but then, he's never seen her in a bad one. She's always wearing that flawless smile and carrying that calm, in-control demeanor, as if she decended from her world of perfection to walk among the simple mercenaries, mechanics, pilots, soldiers and a slave aboard a rusty ship.
He's known others with a similar air, Crofton, Simon, maybe Thorne, all floating above everyone else on their clouds of money. But Inara is different. She seems to genuinly care for her friends, gracing them with her full attention and still seeing everything else around her.
And yet, even in this world that is clearly not her own, she still maintains that look of complete happiness, without a care in the verse- something Damon thought to be impossible to have. Maybe it's her money, or maybe it's just an act, but whatever it is, he knows it's far beyond his reach or comprehension.

He completes his turn and coming out of his thoughts, almost bumps into Rowan.

"Whoa, sorry..."

He steps back and looks down at her. She's been practically glowing ever since she walked into the room during the meeting. Looks like Inara's happiness may be spreading.

"You look... chipper. Someone die and leave you a fortune?"

I'm not broken, in my dream I win...

Wash's Move:
Location - Bridge to Location - Front Hall to Location - Galley

(Wash walks out of the bridge, and heads down the corridor to the Galley. He hears a loud noise as he gets to the Galley door)

"HEY, who has been hoarding the message stick that Simon left for ALL of us?"

(Wash, to Mal): “I have the memory stick right here, (Wash pulls it from his pocket) but I haven’t been able to listen to it with Zoë yet.”

- EOM -

Decoy, they make me go first.
