"..money" Jayne stops polishing his gun and looks up, "Money" he echoes. "Aren't these the same people who were in the process of burning River and I at the stake" the Doctor interrupts. Jayne puts down his gun, "How much money" he says. "Enough to to get us the the regulator for the enviromental?" asks Kaylee. "Not having to put up with badly recyled air works for me" replies Wash.

The Captain flicks the viewer on and points to two planets. "It's a two day trip, pays 40,000, all in advance". "I'm in" says Jayne "What's the catch" says Zoe. The Captain rings a black gap on the chart, "The area 1462 has been designated a possible protoneutron event". The room erupts. The Shepherd's voice cuts across the room "People will die if the medicine isn't transported" he says. "Likely us" replies Jayne returning to his gun. "Saw what was left of a ship been warped by a protoneutron once" said Wash, "Still gives me the creeps" "We could just take the money and leave" says Jayne. Kaylee hits hims. "What?" he replies. "So its decided" says the Captain, "we leave right away". "Shiny" mutters River.
