Soul's Destiny's Shadow, twg's Admiral Nelson, and our beloved Sereni-Tree are all cruising the black.

Rat has woken from hibernation...Cozen has been attacked by a ferret and may need the attention of a vet...Static, our not-forgotten and much missed pilot, has returned...Emma is still MIA....


Most importantly, Lissa is trying our new Potty-go-Round.

THEREALME


Thanks, Weirdgirl. Here is my recap of the last thread (or last couple):


A while back, the Sereni-Tree landed among dandelions on Earth-That-Still-Is, and we relaxed for a couple threads, singing songs and breeding blue fishies and piffleponies. We even had a pifflepony race. During this time, Emma and Rat departed in the Admiral Nelson, one of the Sereni-Tree’s four shuttles. Their stated goal was to seek out some extra-terrestrial trading opportunity.

Sadly, at the start of the race, MollyTheParrot was injured in a tragic sporting accident. This sort of drove Cozen crazy, and he summoned up vast numbers of his Cozenbugs to assault the ship. The Sereni-Tree was damaged by the time we could re-gain control of the situation. This resulted in both Molly and Cozen being left to heal inside autodocs in the Infirmary, under the care of Montanagirl and SimonWho, our resident Vet and Doctor, respectively.

Then a distress call came from Rat and Emma. They were in trouble, being attacked and/or boarded by some unfriendly aliens far off in the black.

The Sereni-Tree was still too damaged by the Cozenbugs to go to the rescue. That was when SoulofSerenity revealed that he had a ship of his own, the Firefly class Destiny’s Shadow. Soul picked about half the Sereni-Tree’s crew and took them on a rescue mission. The Destiny’s Shadow, took off, piloted by the disembodied head of Succatash. Meanwhile, TheRealMe, TheGreyJedi, Jet, and Needleseye worked to repair the Sereni-Tree.

In Deep Space, the Destiny’s Shadow found the missing Admiral Nelson, adrift in space. ThatWeirdGirl and Jayne-clone2 went over in space suits to check it out. At that time, the DS was attacked by an enemy ship. Through some fine captaining, fancy piloting, and crack shooting, the enemy was destroyed. Aboard the Admiral Nelson, TWG and Jayne-clone2 found Mal-licious (?), Zoid (?), and Rat! TWG powered up the shuttle and flew off. Or at least flew around.

Back on Earth-That-Still-Is, the Sereni-Tree was repaired and about ready to take off to join in the rescue mission. However, Piffle and PsychicRiver were off playing around with their hang glider. They crashed near a village that was being attacked by REAVERS! They find a mule and speed back to the Sereni-Tree. They are followed by a pack of Reavers, driving bikes, cars, and buggies, Road Warrior style. TheRealMe has the Sereni-Tree take off and pick up the speeding mule. We also pick up newcomers Safe and Jack, who were also fleeing the Reavers.

It was at that time that TheGreyJedi decided to act, summoned up his ultra-tech super-sized mecha, destroyed all the attacking Reavers single-handedly, and immediately teleported his mecha and the Sereni-Tree into the vicinity of the Destiny’s Shadow in deep space.

TheRealMe had the Sereni-Tree dock with the Destiny’s Shadow, allowing the crews to mingle. ThatWeirdGirl, Jayne-clone2, Mal-licious, Zoid, and Rat are on the shuttle Admiral Nelson. Grey is in his super-mecha. Everyone else is on the combined Sereni-Tree / Destiny’s Shadow.

Just recently, Ash and Mai took a swim, and a second Rat woke up on the Sereni-Tree. Frankly, I’m wondering about Zoid being around. He hasn’t been in a clubhouse thread for perhaps 25 threads! Maybe that’s just a Mal-clone that Mal-licious was with (in a Zoid mask?). Or maybe it is really Zoid, and Mal-licious has kept him captive secretly all this time!

Anyway, that’s the way it is.

Oh, and CallMeSerenity has detected another ominous approaching blip on the sensors.

More news:

Static is once again active, returned from a strange journey through space and time. Cozen is stirring, his toe being bitten by a paricularly persistant ferret.

Mai and Lissa are playing around on their new potty-go-round (??) which apparently exists in the women's bathroom.

Ack.

*His left big toe throbs with pain. Peering along the length of his forcefully prone self, he blearily espies a ferret, smiling, blood dripping from it's ferrety teeth.

Funny, eh?

Hmmmm....


Now Dale, just because someone makes a disparaging comment about NASCAR in their sleep doesn't mean you have to go all "Intimidator ferret" on them. I swear, sometimes I wonder why I own a ferret. And how did you get here anyway?

*mg bends down and distracts the ferret with the most wonderful substance in the 'verse: a tortilla chip. Dale immediately grabs the chip and runs away to hide it.*

Now, let's look at that wound, shall we? Well, that ain't hardly a mosquito bite. *Applies a Winnie the Pooh bandage, then steps back and eyes cozen warily.* I'll let you out of these restraints if you promise not to go all crazy again. Molly is fine and playing with everyone up in the water park. I hear she even got TRM back a little bit.

*TGJ looks at a readout on one of Magnadeus' consoles. He frowns as several options suddenly list as unavailable as the mecha's systems finally begin a full reboot from the Grav Jump.*

*He taps a button on the screen.*

TRM, can you read me? What's going on out there? My systems aren't all fully up and running correctly. Seems I'm not quite the man I was when I last piloted this thing, and Magnadeus is having some trouble adjusting.

Static strolls out of his sparse quarters and strolls silently down the corridor to the control cabin. He climbs into his cockpit and slowly runs his fingers over the familiar controls, as one might greet a lover that had been absent.

Static's hands move over the controls with smooth familiarity, as a virtuoso pianist playing his favorite pieces. His beloved TREE moves in response without so much as a wheeze and the sail off through the black towards Grey.

SOULOFSERENITY

The Man They Call Soul...


Soul walks into the bridge and looks up towards Static's pilot dome. He can see the pilot up above, and knows the journey he's been on.

You're all too familiar with his pains, aren't you?

Soul turns to see his own dark shadow standing just inside the doorway, arms crossed.

"You think too much," Soul says. "We both have our pains, but his are different. His are..." Soul looks up towards Static again. "His are deeper."

You're downplaying yourself again. Still weak. Still too compassionate.

"My compassion is my strength, not my weakness." Soul turns to his dark shadow. "I would think you'd know that by now."

His dark side shrugs. You've still got alot to prove.

Soul looks away, out through the viewscreen and towards Grey's Mecha. "So do you."

He's an odd one, isn't he?

Soul looks at his dark side and shakes his head. "You're one to talk."

The dark shadow grins. What can I say, I'm a part of you, which in turn makes you the odd one.

Soul ignores the comment, instead looking back up at Static. "I don't know what happened to him out there, but he's changed." Soul closes his eyes and his body shudders as he phases in and out of this plane of reality. "It's as if he lost something out there, and now all he has left is this ship, his last hold on...I don't know."

Soul's shadow stares at him. Well, it seems you're more perceptive than I thought. He looks up at Static. Yeah, I can see it, too. Interesting. It seems that he's lost the desire for one of humanity's most primitive emotions.

Soul nodds in agreement. "Love."

In the darkest corner of Static's room, a figure appears, cloaked in black. It walks toward Static's bunk, bringing with it the stench of sulphur and decay. It places a sheet of ordinary paper on the bed. It reads:

Next time I won't leave. Renounce the Tower. This is your last warning. And have a great day. :) --R.F.

Having completed its task, the figure walks back into the shadows and disappears.

Ash and Xan look in awe towards the girls bathroom and begin to contemplate many interesting applications for a potty-go-round.

"Xan, I NEED to check this out!" gasps Ash.

"Yes lets go play!"

"Blindfold time for you."

"Can't I see it? Please?"

Ash starts to pull out a black cloth from her pocket and looks to Xan.

"Sorry bro but that's the rules. No guys are allowed in the girls bathroom and since we have to make an exception for you at least you can wear a blindfold."

Hearing shrieks of glee coming from the bathroom, Xander looks to the other people swimming, pleading for compassion and understanding.

"Fine but......"

A shudder seems to pass between Ash and Xander while as one they look in the direction of Static's cabin.

Ash "Oh no,.."

Xan "not again."

Ash "Maybe he's passing through?"

Xan "I sure as hell hope so, the dude knows how to hold a grudge."

Ash "I am so not going to do that chanting thing again."

Xan "But it is soooo catchy, 'My life for you. My life for you'. You can almost dance to it."

Ash "Well if he catches us we will be dancing at the end of a rope. Let's get the h..."

Ash stops, looks up, and smiles, "I think he's gone so we should be safe for now. Lets go check out this ride!"

Soul shivers as something passes through the bridge.

"Did you feel that?"

Soul's shadow nods. Yeah, I felt it, and I've got a bad feeling right about now.

"Gee, is may darker half scared?"

This isn't fear, it's common sense.

Soul walks over to the doorway and looks out. "I'm thinkin' things are about to go bad yet again."

I guess we should be ready for anything.

Soul nods and turns to his dark shadow. The air in the bridge shimmers, and the two of them phase out of sight. A moment later, a single figure emerges from the air. Soul stands, his bow and quiver on his shoulder, his bandolier of arrowheads across his chest, and a wicked looking dagger hanging from his belt. He grins.

"This should be fun."

STATIC


Static guides his beloved ship smoothly towards Grey's mecha. In a seamless ballet of fluid motion, the TREE spins in space, setting itself at the same axis as the giant battle robot. The hangar doors open silently and the TREE passes over the Mecha like a bat, swallowing a mosquito in midair.

From within his cockpit, Static eyes the controls. Once he is confident that his friend has been retrieved without incident, he sets the autopilot and unfolds himself from his seat. He climbs from the cockpit and walks slowly (is he limping? Looks like he is...a bit)towards his bunk.

Static's bunk is spartan. A bed, a desk and a chair, the sink and toilet. There are no pictures upon the walls. As he enters, he unstraps his gunbelts and hangs them on a hook, removing the pistols from the holsters. He crosses to the desk and spies the note upon the bed.

All hail Dischordia!
All hail the Crimson King!

Static reads the note, his face failing to betray any emotion. He crumples the note with one hand and tosses it in the wastebin.

"I will not renounce the Tower. It's all I have anymore." he whispers to himself, "And you will not stop me."

* On the Sereni-Tree’s Bridge, TheRealMe checks a few more readings on his console, then frowns. He reconfigures a portion of his console from Sensors to Communications and touches a few control surfaces to enable a ship-wide broadcast. He also directs a tight-beam transmission to ThatWeirdGirl and one of the Rats in the shuttle Admiral Nelson. *

Hello, everyone, this is Me. Perhaps you have noticed an uneasy, creepy feeling of late. I believe that I might have discovered the cause.

* TheRealMe touches a few more controls, and monitors throughout the Sereni-Tree flash to life and display a huge derelict spaceship, floating in the black. *

This is the approaching blip discovered by Serenity. I’ve matched course with it. Cortex records identify this ship as the Alliance heavy cruiser Arkham, supposedly lost with all hands some thirty years ago while on an exploratory mission in the Delgassian sector. Yet… here it is. There are a number of fluctuating power sources and intermittent life signs coming from all over that ship, but the sensor readings are far from clear. But there is one strong signal: Emma’s distress beacon. Strangely, I cannot pinpoint the beacon’s exact location within that space hulk. Perhaps there is a malfunction. Anyway, I suggest that we send over a few search parties, and explore the interior of that ship. Volunteers?

* TheRealMe turns off the ship-wide com. He looks up from his control console to notice the River-clone standing next to him, staring with rapt attention at the viewscreen. *

So, little one, what do you think? Will we find anybody over there? Find us some survivors?

River-clone (distantly): They’re all there. All of them. But there are no survivors.

* TheRealMe addresses all of the crew that has gathered in the Common Room. *

Okay, I suggest a handful of small teams. I’ll be going, and the rest of you volunteers can join me or form your own groups. Here, each team take one of these marked-up holo-maps of the Arkham. On them, I have pinpointed likely locations for us to search, places that seemed to show power or life readings before our sensors gave out completely. Also, each team should take one of these detectors. They SHOULD go off if you are close to Emma’s distress beacon, but no promises. Take weapons. Be prepared for anything. But remember, we are here to rescue Emma if she is aboard, and to help anybody from the Arkham’s crew who might have… uh… survived.

Seeing as how ThatWeirdGirl and one of the Rats are off in the Admiral Nelson, that leaves us just three shuttles to get us over there: the General Lee, the General Grant, and the Napoleon Bonaparte. I’ll take the Napoleon. I expect that the Rat we have here with us will want the Lee. We also have a couple of single-person space pods, and could maybe use Grey’s mecha and Simon’s Blue Box. Not sure about those last two. Need to talk to the owners. Oh, and we're docked with the Destiny's Shadow off our main air-lock. It has two shuttles, right?

So, let’s form teams. Who wants to go with whom?

* With that, Nugget the meteor troll lumbers up to TheRealMe, bends down to him, and licks his face with a huge scaly tongue. Surprised, TheRealMe sputters and wipes his face on his sleeve. *

Uh, okay, Nugget. I should have guessed you want to help Emma. You can be one of my team.

JAKE7


**Upon hearing TRM's message, the gang in the common room groans. Not at all happy to be giving up time watching Firefly. One by one those in the common room head to the various shuttles.

Jake7 heads over to the Napoleon Bonaparte and checks in with TRM.**

jake7 reporting for duty, sir.

*she notices Nugget standing possessively next to TRM*

What you do you need me to do?

THEGREYJEDI


*finds a comm console on one of the hallways towards Engineering and pages the bridge.*

Hey, TRM. I think I'll be playing Scotty and stay on the ship while the away teams scatter about. I've seen far too many thrillers to wander into ships that are supposed to be lost and gone with all-hands. That and I need to put on some clothes.

CALLMEATH


*Ath gets up from the coach and heads back to his room to change out of his bathing suit and grab some weapons.*

Sheesh! Why do I even put them away?

*Ath picks out a nice long sword, a dagger, and a little something he got off of his evil twin. Heading to the shuttle bay, he climbs into the General Grant.*

So, anyone coming with me?

STATIC


Static is sitting at his desk, his Sandalwood-handled revolvers broken down before him. He lovingly examines each component before wiping it down with oil, rubbing carbon buildup off with a cotton cloth. When TRM's announcement comes over the shipwide, he quickly reassembles his pistols.

Standing, he straps on his gunbelts, checks to see that they are carrying full loads, then slides the revolvers into their holsters. Without a word, he strides out of his bunk and down the corridor to the bridge. He approaches TRM.

"I'll go, but I'm thinking it's best I walk alone." the Gunslinger says quietly.

SAFEAT2ND


Safe walks up to TRM from his spot at the back of the room.

TRM watches the man approach. Not an overly large man by most standards, but not small either. He walks with a deceptive ease. TRM's eye flick over to the other man Safe was standing with. He leans againt the wall with nonchalant casualness that TRM senses hides a wary edginess. Again not a large man, but with these two, TRM suspects, size can be deceptive.

"The names Safe, that there's my partner Jack."
"Seems you saved our bacon a bit ago. Don't know if we can pay you back proper, so we'd like to offer what help we can. Sorry to say, we don't know your crew, but we're good in a scrap. Been in more'n a few."

And I hope, that I can be...of use.

Emma'd do it for me.

So, whose team am I on?

*PR is looking oddly at a gun he is holding is his hand. He just picked it up off the table. He's looking at it with complete confusion.*

Uhh, sure! That'd be shiny!

*PR looks at the gun once more* You know, they didn't teach us how to use these things at school.

SOULOFSERENITY

The Man They Call Soul...


Soul walks into the room with a determined look on his face.

"My ship's got two shuttles if you want to use them. Jazaf, you're with me. I've got plenty of room on the Shadow for anyone else."

Soul turns to look at Static. "If you need a ride of your own, you can take my port shuttle. It's got a few modifications that might come in handy."

*twg hears TRM's notice*

Hrm. How likely is it that they have her and not just her locator device? I mean, come on...

*accesses comm*
TRM? Hey...um, yeah, I'm not going there. I just have this feeling I need to be elsewhere...

Good Luck. *closes comm*

Okay...I've got a hunch...and I'm not going with the others...RatCloneRealRat person, you can stay with me or join the other Rat and gang...but you have to decide now.

In a few minutes I'm going to hyperspace...and TRM can't portal thru hyperspace travel.
