It Is Coming Part 4
Sunday, January 14, 2007

The next part in It Is Coming. I know I was a little harsh on Jayne in this one, but I feel he deserves it after the events on Ariel. Also, appologies if I don't mean the Cortex in Inara's shuttle.

But suddenly an alarm went off. “Wash! What is it?” Mal demanded. “Its… its the Falnax…” Wash said, after checking the screen. “What about it?” “It… it just dropped out of the sky…” * River looked up. “It’s here.” * Mal glanced over at Wash. “What do you mean it dropped out of the sky?” “Well, Captain, what I mean is that one minute it was flying, the next it wasn’t.” “But ships don’t just FALL out of the sky!” Mal started looking at the screen. “Why did it fall?” “Maybe it was that part we all took outta it,” Jayne said. Everybody turned and looked at him. They had all been thinking it, but no one had wanted to say it. Nobody wanted the blame to fall on them. Nobody wanted to think that they had just killed all those people. “Kaylee!” Mal yelled down the com-link. “Could removing a burn isolator have caused a Falnax to stop working?” Kaylee’s voice came back confused. “Cap’in, all it does is ensure that the secondary thrusters…” “Say it in words Jayne will understand,” Wash called out. “Oh…” There was a pause. “Well then no. Probably not.” Wash looked at Jayne as one would look at a three year old. “Do you know what probably means?”

Simon looked up at River. “It’s here? What’s here?” But River simply kept repeating over and over “It’s here…it’s here….” Simon looked around. “But…there’s nothing here but us, River.” River simply kept chanting quietly. “It’s here…it’s here…”

A noise resonated around Inara’s shuttle. She opened her eyes. It was her moniter. Reaching over, she noticed that there was a new flag on the Cortex. Her eyes widened as she read what it said….

“So why do we think this happened?” Mal was looking around the room. In the kitchen were the only people who could have any clue as to why that ship had crashed. Jayne was only there because he had wandered in by accident. And so far, Wash and Kaylee were stumped. Zoë, who had dealt with one or two Falnax’s before had no idea. “Maybe they ran outta gas,” Jayne said. “You know, the sad thing is that you’re being serious.” Wash took a bite out of the cookie-shaped protein bar in his hand. “You know, these things would be so much better with chocolate chips…” “Can we focus, please!” Mal yelled. “Now I want to know, right now, if anyone has any idea why that ship went down!” He pointed at Jayne. “You don’t get to contribute.” Jayne grumbled and left the room. Suddenly, Inara burst through the door. “There was a news bulletin on the Cortex! It’s been reported everywhere. Ships have been warned to stay away from the outer planets!” “Why? What’s been reported?” Mal demanded. “Ships keep failing. All over the galaxy. And it’s spreading out from the edge.”

Ok, interesting.

And yes, Inara can access the Cortex from her shuttle.

Oh...this ain't good. It's like that Star Trek episode with the alien species disabling all warp-speed traffic because of the harmful effects high warp velocities do...though much more tense and cracking;)

It Is Coming part 6
A much longer one this time, where we see the crew run into many problems, and River's state of mind worryingly complient to Mal's wishes.

It Is Coming Part 5
Only a short part this time, I didn't have time to make it longer. The next part will be longer I promise.
As always, I love to get feedback, so please leave, good or bad. :D


It Is Coming Part 4
The next part in It Is Coming.
I know I was a little harsh on Jayne in this one, but I feel he deserves it after the events on Ariel. Also, appologies if I don't mean the Cortex in Inara's shuttle.


It Is Coming part 3
The next part in the It Is Coming series. A Falnax is a ship that was made for the war but was too expensive to manufacture more then a few, so they never entered active service, although they are rare, they are manouverable, reliable and very well armed.

It Is Coming Part 2
The next part in my fanfic. This part is just helping to build up the back story, no real action yet, sorry, but that's coming in the next part.

I forgot to mention at the start of the prologue that this is just immediately after “War Stories.”


It Is Coming Prologue
My first firefly fan fic, thought I would release it bit by bit so I can make the next bit better. The title is only a working title.
