Hmmmm... Cozen's sorta conscious, but sounds sorta... crazy. Except for the Inarachocolate.

* TheRealMe turns off the hose, then picks up Cozen and carries him to the Infirmary. He straps Cozen into a bed next to where Molly the Parrot is being tended by the autodoc. Next, he idly picks up the power drill that he acquired from the "Destiny" thread. He revs it a few times, just to see the drill bit spin. *

Hmmm... Wonder if I should try a little exploratory brain surgery?

Naw!

* TheRealMe wanders off with the power drill, looking to make a hole in SOMETHING. *

*thinks to herself as Patience hurdles another log in the dense forest they are currently traversing*

I wonder if anyone can find use for those spare pieces of lumber I've got stored in that back closet of my SereniGarden. If someone had a drill and some screws, I bet they could make a lovely spice rack for the kitchen. Especially as there's some sandpaper and paint and wood glue in the closet, too. We really could use a spice rack for the kitchen.

(Okay, not very subtle, but TRM with power tools makes me anxious. I felt he needed a creative outlet.)

* TheRealMe picks up somewhat on Serenity's telepathy. *

Say, with this drill, some lumber, and some screws (and we always have a screw loose around here) I could build us something.

I could build us a rack!

* TheRealMe takes some tools, some nails and screws, and some lumber down to the Sereni-Tree's toruture chamber. *

SOULOFSERENITY

The Man They Call Soul...

After the sudden event with the Cozenroaches, Soul decides that he's had enough air for one day. He returns to the SereniTREE and begins looking for Static, who he hasn't seen in a while. He visits the bridge, and upon finding it empty is about to leave when a crackle of static emerges from the speakers. Soul looks over to see Emma's face on one of the computer screens.

"Emma?"

Emma begins to speak as if she hadn't heard Soul.

"To whoever recieves this, Rat and I have been captured by a Degassian warship, the Doe Marr. They seem to be a bit upset with me for some events that took place the last time I was here. They are preparing to board the Admiral Nelson so this may be the last message I can send. We were enroute to Degas 1, but I don't know where they'll take us from here. If anyone recieves this, I really wouldn't mind some help, because we may need it." Someone mumbles something and Emma looks to the side. "Oh, al right!" She turns back. "Rat would like some root beer if you can bring any." The screen goes black and silent.

"Why does Emma seem more and more like Vala?" Soul asks the empty room as he shakes his head and grabs the intercom, keying in TheRealMe's handheld. "Me, we seem to have a problem. Emma and Rat have gone and gotten themselves captured. I'm going to go ahead and form a rescue party and go after them. Could you let everyone know?"

Huh? Who is Vala? Oh, never mind.

* TheRealMe continues to listen to SoulofSerenity on his com-link, then nods. *

Right. I was afraid that something like this might happen with those two. Unfortunately, the Sereni-Tree is not spaceworthy just now, what with the recent Cozenbug attacks.

Soul, why don’t you select a hand-picked crew and go after Emma and Rat in one of our remaining shuttles, the Grant , Lee , or Napoleon? The rest of us will follow in the Sereni-Tree once it’s ready.

* TheRealMe calls up a list on his com-link. *

Soul, make sure you have a decent pilot with you. Let’s see… Hmmmm…. On my list are Emma, Jet, Mai, Rat, Static, TheGreyJedi, ThatWeirdGirl, and me. Oh, yeah, and Bride5 recently completed her training course. Those are just the ones I know about. We might have other pilots. Let’s see, Static and Grey seem to have gone into a torpor, and I’m going to need Jet to help me with repairs to the ship. Talk to Mai, ThatWeirdGirl, or Bride5, then. Oh, and if you can find the Rat-clone, he probably is a pilot, too.

And take some fighters with you.

* BACK ON THE ISLAND: *

* With a tired sigh, the pifflepony Prudence bends down, grabs the unconscious Bride6 with her teeth, and deposits her in the saddle on Prudence’s back. Bride6 slumps forward against Prudence’s mane. Then Prudence strolls over to Needleseye’s campfire, kicking kissies out of her way as she goes. At the fire, Prudence bends down to slurp up some more of Needleseye’s fire-roasted spiders. Prudence smacks her lips and turns to Needleseye. *

Delicious! Thanks! Once I’m done with my mistress’ stupid race, I’ll try to get back here for some more. Hey, have you tried roasting some of those damnable kissies? I bet they would be good, too!

* With that, Prudence grabs a four-leaf clover in her mouth and prepares to return to the race, trampling kissies as she goes. *

Vala. From SG-1. Oh, never mind.

"Let's see."

Soul stares down at the list in his hand.

"If Static is around, he would be ideal for this mission, but if not, I will need TWG. As far as fighters go, I'll need Jazaf, Bride2 looks promising, Serenity would be good, and probably Ath as well. Of course, then Lissa would have to come..."

Soul shakes his head and picks up the intercom, repeating Emma's message and his list to everyone in and around the SereniTREE.

"Well, that's my list. Anyone else who wants to volunteer, the more the merrier. We're meeting in the shuttle bay and heading out in fifteen minutes. I've got a feeling that time is of the essence here."

*Serenity and Patience exit the dense forest and head down the straight shot towards the red bell. Patience speeds up, going faster than she ever has before. Serenity reaches up to hit the bell as they fly past. She lets her slightly chomped four leaf clover flutter away behind her. They keep going, full speed, heading straight for SereniTREE. As they charge up the ramp, Patience skids to a stop as Serenity spreads her wings to help slow them down. She dismounts and breaks into a run, coming to a dead stop in front of Soul. She is slightly out of breath.*

Hey, I heard what's going on through my comm link watch. *holds up wrist* (Everyone should get one, they're dead useful.) And I'd like to come. Just let me grab my katanas.

*Patience, meanwhile, heads over to the pifflebarn, where she eats and drinks her fill, then goes rolling around in the dandelions. All in all, a good day for her.*

She climbs up out of the water and shakes herself off, gently, so as not to drop Bride6. Prudence notices another pifflepony, Penitence, grazing near the shore. Prudence makes sure that no conscious humans are nearby, then trots over. She talks around the four-leaf clover: *

Prudence: Hey, Penitence, where is your rider? DroppyMcCool?

SOULOFSERENITY

The Man They Call Soul...

Soul leads his group of fighters out of the SereniTREE and into the open field, nearly running into SimonWho carrying a very dazed TWG.

"What happened to her?" Soul asks.

"Long story."

"So why are we out here and not getting in one of the shuttles?" Lissa asks.

Soul smiles and pulls a small remote from his pocket. "We're not taking a shuttle." With a press of a button, a building roar begins to echo closer and closer, until a strong wind begins to whip around the group. Above them, the air begins to shimmer, and seemingly out of nothingness, a ship appears.

"Woah!" Jazaf says. "Is that what I think it is?"

"Not quite," Soul replies. "I did a few modifications to the original design, and added some weapons. It's amazing what one can do with boredom and a screwdriver in a junkyard. I had forgtten about this, in addition to most of my life, thanks to my evil side, but now that we're back together, most of my memories are coming back. I figure she'll be handy for this mission."

Everyone watches as the Firefly settles down into the grass in front of them, her engines spooling down, her armaments glistening in the sun.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I call her Destiny."

With a hiss, the cargo ramp lowers, and Soul marches towards it, leading the group into the ship. Instead of pointing out anything in specific, though, he leads them straight to the bridge.

"I was thinking about using one of the shuttles at first, thus my asking for a suitable pilot, but then I remembered about this ship." Soul waves at the walls as they enter the bridge. "We don't really need a pilot, seeing that I found someone in a forgotten thread who seemed like he might be good for the job."

As they enter the bridge, they all stop and stare, and some of them begin to grin. A bundle of wires are running from the pilot's console into the stand that has replaced the pilot's seat. On the top of the stand, floating in a jar filled with some sort of cloudy fluid, is the head of Succatash.

"What are you staring at?" he asks.

Unrelated to the plot:

(Okay, now I'm confused. I'm on Destiny and I'm on Destiny. My two Firefly worlds have collided! My head hurts.)

Hello Succatash, so nice to meet you!

*Serenity starts to extends her hand and then thinks better of it and tries to play it off by running it through her hair.*

JAZAF

*stunned silence*
'Must.....resist.....stupidity urge.....!' Jazaf thinks to himself.
Inside Jazaf's mind
A tiny little soldier with the words 'Common Sense' written on his shield, and a large confused beast with the word 'Stupidity' tattooed on it's forehead stare over the chasm of decency.
'Better watch your step fellow ad......' Common begins to say. However, Stupidity interrupts him by absently slapping Common on the back. Common flies over the edge screaming, "Damn You!!"

Back onboard Destiny

'What're you staring at?'

'Never thought I'd see a pilot so a-head of the game.' Jazaf spits out. He quickly covers his mouth and walks off the bridge.

Great idea PR! I'd love to take a swim. Just wait one minute.

*Rushes back onto Serenitree to don swimming suit and beach type stuff.*

Exactly one minute later

*Runs back outside with a large bag of fluffy beach towels, suntan lotion, water bottles,and flip flops.*

*Ath watches Lissa dance with a smile on his face, until he starts to notice the way Tash is jostling around in the jar.*

Uh, Lissa, you may want to stop that. He looks a little green around the gills.
