Hi,
Here is my next chapter/story/book on Serenity.
Since I do not use "colorful metaphors" (Star Trek IV Kirk and Spock) much,
I do not seem to think about adding them into my writing. I know it changes the feel of Firefly/Serenity. Sorry about that.
I offer my beginnings for your enjoyment and help to improve the the feel of the not to expected to be published story. Enjoy and offer suggestions if you wish. Since it is mine and for me primarily, I'll accept or reject them as I want - no hard feelings. Help with Manderin and being in character is appreciated.
Contact me privately at edgarcorny gmail com if you wish.

My Serenity 2
Recon
-----
There were thirteen people in the common area on Serenity. It was the first meeting of Serenity's crew with Who's people. As is normal the The two groups of people that were strangers to each other were sitting slightly apart.
The first group consisted of the old Serenity crew: Mal, Zoe, Jayne, Kaylee, River, Valkyrie, Simon, and Inara.
The second group consisted of Who's people: J, Humperdink, Gwen, Wayne, and Goldarn.
Mal: “First I'd like to welcome Jay Tea,” Mal pointed “ Gwen Dee Lynch, Corporal Duke Wayne, Stewart Goldarn, and Max Humperdink.”
Mal then introduced the Serenity crew members to Who's.
Mal: “I agreed with Who about the initial groups. We may need to make a few changes but a starting place is a starting place.
“We have three teams and one independent operator.
“I am the captain of Serenity. Zoe is second in command when we both are aboard. We both fought in the War. If you've got questions, I'm the top of the chain of command.
“Kaylee is the mechanic on board. She's a non-combatant.
“River is my pilot and can handle a weapon.
“The four of us constitute the crew of Serenity. Serenity is an unarmed freighter. We are also combat team two. With the need to keep the smuggler cover, we will handle any issue that is not Who related. Changes might occur but not at this time.
“Inara is our Companion and will be used for tapping into the off-ship higher ups for information. She will not be servicing crew people.”
A hand went up: “I'll take questions after the first assignment.”
“Yes Sir.”
“The first combat team is commanded by Val with Jayne, Jay and Hump. Hump will be the shipboard corpsman when Simon is not aboard. Hump, Simon, please get together and start working out how.”
“Yes” “Yes Sir”
“The Aid Station will be headed by Simon if the issue is medically oriented. Goldarn is a nurse but is also in charge of security. I do not expect problems from outsiders but Simon is not trained for military. Simon, Goldarn, please get together and find a workable solution to these cross purposes.”
“Yes” “Yes Sir”
Mal: “Wayne and Gwen will be working under Simon though things will need to be flexible
“Serenity has only limited bunking. If you want to shift assigned bunking, keep Zoe and I informed so we can find you.
“We've had to upgrade the environmental systems and the only place to expand was one of the passenger cabins. Most of the time there will be nine of us on board. Only when the Aid Station is moving will the bunking be an issue.”
As the briefing evolved into talking and broke up into smaller groups, issues were sometimes settled and other items were cropped up.
River broke orbit from Ariel and started the journey back to the fringe.
Mal, Zoe, Val, Simon and Wayne worked as sort of a command staff so that coordination would best.
In the several weeks back to the fringe with a “cargo” of spare parts for Serenity, Kaylee and Mal were quite happy. It was the first time spares for some of the parts had been available on board. A second “cargo” was the supplies for the Aid Station.
Combat Team 1 and the Aid Station were shaking down into better shape despite the rough edges. Most of the original crew of Serenity were uneasy – they had not worked with Alliance military before and it was taking longer th
