SAFEAT2ND

Back at the Shuttle Grant, Safe and Jack have replaced their flak jackets with a light body armor and helmets.

Safe twists from side to side, clearly a little uncomfortable in the armor. Body armor has come a long way, and is nowhere near as heavy as the older versions, but that still didn't make it any more comfortable to wear. Plus it didn't help that the guy Safe "acquired" his armor from had smaller shoulders.

Jack: "C'mon, let's get this show on the road! Times a wastin'. Where is the butterfly girl anyway?"

Safe: "She said she'd be right back, Jack. Keep yer pants on."

Okay, so far it seems that the teams are:

TheRealMe, Rat, Jake7, and Nugget. We'll take Rat's beloved General Lee, leaving the Napoleon for someone else.

Serenity, Safe, Jack, Ath and... PsychicRiver? in the General Grant.

Soul, Jazaf, and (temporarily) Static in the Destiny's Shadow or its shuttles.

Wow. If we trade Nugget for Needleseye, I'm with the same team that set out after the escaped FemaleReaver back on Black Diamond.

And I wonder if Jazaf is going to actually get some action in without his student.

As the others prepare to board the shuttles an insanely bright light emits from the infirmary. It is in fact so bright that it seems to stream down the hallway and throughout the ship.

"My Goddess someone turn off the damn light. Can't you see I'm trying to take a nap here."

Huh.

*Stirring from her bed Mai fully awakens not exactly sure why she's there. Jumps down from the bed and stands, well wobbles to the door. Feeling slightly disoriented but extremely rested.

"Oh sorry Lissa. I'll turn off... my hands.. or not so much. Well you're awake lets go find out where everyone is and what the hell happened and why I'm glowing .....again."

*Lissa and Mai run through the hall passing a very shocked Simon. "Hey where do you two think you're going? You can't..." Quickly waving they keep running until they reach the cargo bay. They arrive just in time to see everyone getting ready to head out.*

Latest team breakdowns and their shuttles or ships:

Napoleon Bonaparte: It’s still sitting empty in the Sereni-Tree’s hanger bay.

Admiral Nelson: ThatWeirdGirl and one of the Rats. They are not going to explore the Arkham, but have gone into hyperspace on some other mission.

General Lee: TheRealMe, the other Rat, Jake7, Needleseye, Zoe-clone2, Zoe-clone3, and Nugget the Meteor Troll. Heading over to the Arkham.

General Grant: CallMeSerenity, CallMeAth, Safeat2nd, CastIronJack, PsychicRiver, River-clone, Lissa, and Mai. Still in the Sereni-Tree’s hanger bay.

Destiny’s Shadow or its shuttles: SoulofSerenity, Jazaf, Bride2, Jayne-clone2, the Head of Succatash, and Static. I suggest that you take your pair of shuttles over to the Arkham, Soul, and leave the Destiny’s Shadow docked to the Sereni-Tree.

Everyone else is on the Sereni-Tree, except for Monkeytail, who is on Whitefall… Hmmmm…. How to get him into the story… ?? Oh, wait! I have an idea!

On River-clone’s screen is indicated the Arkham’s hanger bay doors. The girl has already entered a complex input code that is causing them to swing open.

SOULOFSERENITY

The Man They Call Soul...

Soul, Jazaf, Static, and Jayne-clone2 are all crammed into the port shuttle belonging to Destiny's Shadow. With the head of Succatash connected to the piloting controls, the shuttle has a relatively calm flight until they reach the Arkham. The shuttle swings around to the far side, and Jazaf spies a hatch. 'Tash carefully maneuvers the shuttle into place and with a hiss the airlock seals.

"Well, let's go," Soul says.

Before anyone can move, however, there is a squealing of metal, and something that looks like tentacles covers the front viewscreen.

"What the hell is it doing?" Jazaf asks.

Calmy, Static replies. "It's pulling us inside."

For a moment, the shuttle shakes violently, throwing it's passenger's around. Then, there is silence, as a faint red light shines through the viewscreen.

"Um...where in the good gorram are we?" Jayne-clone2 asks.

Beside him, Soul checks the panel next to the door. Confirming that the outside air is breathable, he hits the control and opens the door. They all step outside and into...

"I thought we were pulled into a ship," Jazaf says. "How did we get here?"

Soul looks out across a vast black field towards the far horizon where a red sun is slowly setting, and a gleaming black tower pierces the sky.

"Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore," Soul says.

"No, we're not," Static says, his eyes narrowing as he stares at the tower in the distance.
