Book's Move
Location: Book's Room
Book stops himself on a chair as the ship lurches, then rights itself again. In the lapse of time, Jayne's shadow no longer covers the door screen when Book looks back up. what? Moving quickly, but a little unsteadily to his door, he throws it open to reveal the nothing he expected to find. With "battle stations" repeating over and again, a sense of urgency grips him. He leaves the door to his room open behind him and runs to the bridge... heedless of the secrets left somewhat unguarded in the trunk on his bed.

Very small River turn. So sorry I haven't posted in a loooooooong while.
_____
River hears the "Battle Stations" ring out, but just sort of sits there. She says:
"Crying wolf are we now?"
_____
OOC: Okay, I, uh...yeah. I can change this if it's wrong. Can't remember right now.

Rowan's Move
LOCATION: Rear hallway, nearly back to the galley.
Serenity jerks suddenly - as if someone just pushed all her buttons at the same time - tossing Rowan sharply against the bulkhead. Caught by surprise, she loses her grip on the plate and watches as it drops away, flipping rather gracefully to send sesame chicken flying just about everywhere before the ceramic impacts on the metal steps and smashes into a million pieces.
ROWAN: "Great. Another mess to clean up. Might as well get my Intergalactic Sanitation Union card at this rate."
Then all the overhead lights go out in the hall, leaving her in total darkness for a split second. Illumination returns quickly, but in a more rosy hue more reminiscent of mood lighting for a nightclub. Then she hears the same voice that had spoken to her during the weapons installation, calmly and almost cheerfully ordering everyone to battle stations.
ROWAN (in Chinese): "What in all that is holy?"
With quick instincts and quicker reflexes, she starts forward again, intent on the bridge. She's pretty sure they haven't been fired on, or are near any obstacles of any sort. Chances are somebody would have mentioned something of the sort if they were. Hopefully Serenity isn't too badly injured. Kaylee will be in a state, were that the case.
Hopping down the steps from the hallway to the galley, she sprints across it and hops up through the hatchway into the forward hall. Halfway to the bridge, she takes out her handheld and pulls up the interface that is still connected to the sourcepad back in her bunk. Tapping the screen quickly, she accesses the ship's status.

OOC: edited due to the fact that Rowan was in the wrong hall!

KAYLEE’s move
LOCATION - ENGINE ROOM
Half of her mind on what could be causing the alert, half admiring her lovely lighting (a much more restful and calming color than red) and half deciding on Wash’s upcoming and undoubtedly deserved punishment should there be no actual reason for this alert, KAYLEE is not watching where she is going particularly. After all she is alone in the room and could navigate her way to the door in a dead coma.
So when she runs headlong into JAYNE as he has just slid into the room and is scanning for heaven-only-knows what, she is startled at the very least. When she backs up and notices the extended pistol, she is no longer quite so certain that the alert is accidental.
KAYLEE
Oof! Oh, sorry Jayne, didn’t see ya. Aaah, what’s with the gun? Do you know sumthin’ I don’t about this alarm we seem ta be havin’?

Wash's Move:
Location - Bridge
(Wash looks around at the pink-lit bridge, and turns in his chair to look down the front hallway, which is also lit in a soft pink light... he slamms his hand down on the general intercom): "Kaylee! You'd better make up a good one as to why my ship is at pink alert! It's supposed to be a RED ALERT! I didn't know we had a red alert... Captain, everything's just fine, no problems at all..."
Decoy, they make me go first.

MERZ move
LOCATION - BRIDGE to LOCATION – MERZ DORM
WASH
… Captain, everything's just fine, no problems at all.
MERZ stares at WASH for a moment. No alert. No problem. Fine. She unbuckles the straps and stands up.
MERZ
If you do not need me then, there are things I need to take care of.
Pushing past DAMON and anyone else who has decided to check out this false alarm she heads for the door muttering With saathiharu like this, who needs shatruharu. I heard that from someone before, now I believe I understand.
Leaving the bridge she stalks back to her own dorm and slides inside. Once again, all of her clothing is not fit wear, she must acquire more as soon as possible. But for right now, MERZ snatches her shipsuit and the blanket off of her bunk, and arms full, walks towards the laundry room.

Jayne's turn:
LOCATION - ENGINE ROOM
When she backs up and notices the extended pistol, she is no longer quite so certain that the alert is accidental. Jayne moves with her, one arm lowered down and silently herding her into a corner. His attentions are focused on the interior of the engine room.
KAYLEE
"Do you know sumthin' I don't about this alarm we seem ta be havin'?"
JAYNE
"Not rightly sure. Could be a hijacking, or an attack based off Hera. Or..."
WASH
"Kaylee! You'd better make up a good one as to why my ship is at pink alert! It's supposed to be a RED ALERT! I didn't know we had a red alert... Captain, everything's just fine, no problems at all..."
JAYNE
He relaxes and looks down at Kaylee with a cross face, "Or it could be Wash messing 'round again."

Thorne's Move
Location: Port catwalk
As the pink(!)lights start to flash and Serenity begins to chant "Battle Stations! Battle Stations!" in a sultry contralto voice, THORNE's first instinct is to head for the bridge. After a couple of steps, though, he pulls up.
THORNE:(to himself) "Guess I better let Commander Chaos handle this one. I show up on the bridge tryin' to run things again he may get a mite touchy. If he needs me he'll call...I hope."
Turning back towards the stern, he heads for his quarters, hoping that the normal lights will be on by the time he gets there.
