The moon
Friday, January 23, 2015

Well as, i sit back, in me chair , staring out inta the black, my mind goes a wandering, after surviving all wat went on, looking back, mal thought, i shuld have settled back on Zana, and cultivated me self and land there, (hands clasped behind head and pulling half me mouth up), it all went black and i felt the surge of our forward movement stop, and me gut told me we were a drifting and rolling to port side, " Kaley!!!!...", rolling me eyes, i thought id best go check, this old girl.....seemed to be breaking down alot these past few trips, 2 trips back was our worst....

"Hey cap.." jayne said as he poked his head up, from his room, " whats be happening? we going to die again".........Mal gave him a disgruntled loook as he held the rails , as he made his way to the engine room. "No not today jayne, maybe next thursday , if its ok with you".

As Mal, worked his way along, he herd two thumps, from the rooms below deck, And the Owes, as zoe and Wash, hit the floor, Mal chuckled as he thought, woo must been rough landing for them, serves em right for too much bunk time.

This trip they were taking Serenity on, was far out into the black, heading for Forsabien, the 5th moon, that glides around Planet Astros. Another forsaken back street job, jobs seem to be slakin these kinda days.....seemed to be kickin there heels in.....low areas of space ports and stations, going on verbal, hints of jobs. None payed off, mmm maybe this one will, can but hope, mal thought to his lonesome.

The lights came back on, and Serenity righted her self, lucky mal kept the auto engaged.

Mal knocked and entered kayleys domain (engine bay)......" Raising his eyebrows and smiling..hiya so whats a foot".....kayley was bent over in a cabinet, " ah a foot cap, 12 INCHES"
As she came out with oil splatted on her face.
Mal rolled his eyes, " should i call the Doc ?" "why cap " said kayley with a sideways look as she wiped er tools down whilst placing them in her tool tray. Mall nodded towards her face and grinned. Kayley next started to wipe her new make up off.

Simon walked in with river not too far behind...kayley wiped the engine oil off her face as best she could turning so simon couldnt see. Rivers head, emerged into the rooms doorway, from above, Mal turned and nearly jumped a mile as his arms raised half way and he jolted back, " cwhides, girl, do you hafta do thet, you trying to spook us".

Simon smiled.....River spoke.....Must land soon shes a dyin, Kayley raised eyebrows with a smile..."who river "..
"no ones a dying " said mal....giving the descending river a one eyed look.

Simon....enquired..."kayley, so whats ..." MAl boomed in raising his head " yes so why were we drifting, why you drifting us " ....."not me cap " kayley replied...." its her...she be telling me while, need new n.r.n valve , cant be a fixing much long" ....mal shrugged , "told you back in Rammergoon cap , remember".

Images flashed back of Ramagoon.....city's suspended abve the sea from one central land pillar, "well kaley , didnt have time to hang about there".

"Never do at any good places" replied kayley. The engines died agin, and they all put arms out as Serenity, lurched to starboard, and rolled, "wASH "

A few mins later after wash had climbed out of there room, and up to the cockpit, serenity took on a more stable attitude as wash leveled her out with the bypass thruster`s.

All went black.....as a big dark shadow enveloped the Firefly....as it slid silentl into a big oval opening manny sizes bigger then serenitys size.
