CITIZEN


Citizen stared at the two men for a beat. Typical, they want to stand around discussing things while there was work to be done.
“Well we should be moving.” He said slowly. “But the name’s Citizen, just Citizen at your service.” He glanced back at the escape hatch. “As for the explosions best guess would be the underground, took an irrational dislike to the powers that be after the war, like to make a big show of it every now and then. The feds’ll be kicking over ant hills pretty quick, won’t be too safe to be wandering the streets, but I got me a little underground network. Get too anywhere in the city, also got me a bit of a lock down, with an armoury with a little something for everyone.”
Citizen picks up something from the table and polished it on his lapels before dropping it in his pocket.
“You can take your chances with the feds, or you can come with me and we can work on those problems, yours and mine, all I need is your gents names.”

On Boros, Bride7 takes Bride6 into a gun shop. Bride7 grumbles as she has the gunsmith lay a number of his choice wares on the counter.

Bride6 perks up. “Oh, we’re going to get guns, not arms! That’s a much better idea! Arms would be yucky, without the rest of the person attached!” Bride6 grabs a double-barreled shotgun from the lineup and swings it around.

Bride7 flinches. “Be careful! Don’t point that thing at me!”

The gunsmith smiles, and whispers to Bride7. “Don’t worry, little lady. None o’ them guns is loaded.”

Bride6 smiles too. Then she opens the shotgun, pulls a pair of shells out of her handbag, jams them into the twin barrels, and snaps it shut. Bride6 levels the weapon at the gunsmith, and she giggles.

“We’ll take them all!” she says. "Oh, and grenades! We want some grenades, too!"

To a surprised Bride7, she adds, “Jayne-clone2 gave me a couple of lessons.”

Safes ear perk up at the mention of the underground. Staying under the radar was what he preferred, not that he feared the Alliance much, after all he still had connections, but it made moving around a lot less… complicated. Plus there was no sense drawing attention to ones self if it could be avoided.

“Name’s Safe and this here is Jack. I think we’ll take you up on your offer. We haven’t exactly made nice with everyone we’ve met so far, so being discreet fits the bill.”

Aha! Okay, so my experiments have been a total failure so far but I managed to find something that will undoubtedly find PsychicRiver's father. Find the father, we'll find out who brought him here.

This *waves electronic device* is a DNA scanner. All I have to do is wave it in front of someone... ah, CMS, you'll do nicely.... wave it in front of someone and it'll flash up their DNA sequence... sequence...

In the Common Room of the Sereni-Tree,TheRealMe smiles.

“We can solve the mystery of PsychicRiver’s origin easily! We can discover what is in his brain, even if he can’t remember it just now!”

TheRealMe grabs PsychicRiver and drags him away from Jazaf’s metal Christmas Tree toward the West Wing, then into an elevator along the wall.

Montanagirl passes nearby as they are under the mistletoe, so TheRealMe gives her a quick before moving on.

He pushes the button for the third floor. Christmas musak plays in the elevator as it rises.

On the third floor of the West Wing, TheRealMe takes PsychicRiver to the room containing the Dream Machine of ManiacNumberOne. He puts PsychicRiver in the reclining chair and takes the huge helmet connected by many wires to the Dream Machine and puts it on his subject’s head. Then TheRealMe goes to the room’s central podium and adjusts a few controls.

The Wonka-esque Dream Machine comes to life, with barber-pole-colored cylinders spinning and bellows pumping for no apparent reason. TheRealMe examines the readings with a frown.

“Huh! It seems that all the memories of PsychicRiver’s early life have been deliberately ERASED! Who would do such a thing, and more importantly, HOW?”

On Boros:

Lugging a huge backpack of weapons, ammunition, and grenades, Bride6 keeps the gunsmith covered as she backs away. “Uh, what do you mean, go? Go down below? I don’t want to go in some stinky sewer! Ewww!”

At that moment, the floorboards give way and Bride6 falls from the gunsmith's shop to the tunnels below.

"EEEEEEEK!"

Bride7 walks up to the hole and stares down into it. "Hey, you! Are you still alive?"

"Uh, huh," Bride6 moans pitifully.

Bride7 shrugs and hops down into the tunnels.

Back in the Sereni-Tree’s Common Room, TheRealMe hears terrible screeching! Suddenly, in flies MollyTheParrot! Molly lands on a table. She seems very agitated, and continues screeching as she walks back and forth.

TheRealMe is concerned. “Molly! Molly! What is it, girl? Huh? What? You say that Mai fell down a well? That’s terrible! Huh? No? Oh, Mai fell through a vortex in the space-time continuum?

“Hmmmm… Getting her out of the well would be MUCH easier…

“Well, there is only one thing to do!”

*PR looks up at TRM, almost as if to say, 'Sorry to disappoint', he then steps down off the chair and wanders through the up to the observatory tower and he closes the door. He's sitting looking out at the stars when TWG enters and sits next to him, in silence for a few moments.*

Once I told you that...my family died. I don't know why I said it...I didn't have any memories of my past...and I didn't know if I had a family, so I just said it. I guess part of me wanted to believe it...so that I could stop thinking about it.

Phantom watches with interest as the girl with wings faints. Something in the back of what he calls a mind is telling him that girls are not supposed to have wings, but he pushes that thought aside. Another emotion rises to the surface as he watches the Doctor try to wake the girl called Serenity.

Concern.

Right, I've taken Serenity to the infirmary to rest for a while. I think I should carry on with my previous task; scanning for PsychicRiver's father. Sorry Captain but I'm afraid you don't, er, have the right equipment for the role.

Let's start with some of the more obvious onboard choices...

*scans*

Hmm. No match there. Actually, could all the men form an orderly queue? Would help speed this up, thanks.

Of course, I guess it could be someone not on board. Maybe even someone we've yet to meet.

He floats around to the infirmary and watches the girl lying on the table. Something about her seems almost...familiar...but he can't quite figure out why. He watches her for a few more minutes before something catches his eye. He floats to a door on the far side of the room and finds a pair of...well, all he can think to call them is frozen tubes, but he can't figure out what they would be used for. So he hovers there, staring at the tubes, and ponders.

*Serenity wakes up in the infirmary..again. She seems to do that alot lately. It takes her a few moments to remember where she is and why she's there.*

*She turns her head and stares for a few moments at the door that leads to the cryo chamber. She hasn't been in there since...before..well, it's been too painful to think about. But she gets up now and walks through the door. She finds where he lay and sits down on the floor next to him. She wipes the condensation off the glass so she can see his face. He looks so...peaceful. More so than he ever did in life.*

*For a long time she just sits there, lost in thought. One hand on the glass, one hand on her belly. And for the first time since he died, she doesn't feel quite so alone.*

*Finally she stirs.*

Thanks for the Christmas present.

* TheRealMe addresses the folk in the Sereni-Tree’s Common Room. *

Okay, here is our situation.

We have recovered ThatWeirdGirl, who seems to be busy renewing her relationship with Static the Gunslinger, but we have also discovered that she is possibly PsychicRiver’s mother in some future reality! Come to think of it, this might help to explain how Rat can be my father, even though he is two cycles of the Rat younger than I am!

Anyway, PsychicRiver has thus acquired an unknown conspiracy-laden past (which includes time travel and memory editing), and he has sort of gone a little crazy again, like when he tried to feed M&Ms to our aluminum Christmas Tree.

Serenity seems to be mysteriously in a delicate condition.

Bluefishie is doing backflips in Limbo.

Ebo stuck her head in to say hi.

Safeat2nd and CastIronJack have snuck off in a shuttle to Boros.

Finally, a number of the crew, including Mai and Brides 6 and 7, seem to have disappeared.

Did I miss anything?

Oh, yes, and SoulofSerenity is still dead.

SAFEAT2ND


Back on Boros;
“This is the place” Citizen says stopping and turning back to the two men crouched in the tunnel. “But I don’t understand why we had to come here. I have a job for you and this is just wasting time.”

“I just wanted to check on our ride.” Safe says, lifting the grate above him. The grate opens to a vacant docking bay at the far end of the semi-circular hanger. What he sees only confirms his suspicions. One quarter of the Space Terminal is in flames. Safe turns to Jack, “You still have those field glasses?”

Jack rummages in his back pack and pulls out the glasses, handing them to Safe.

Safe focuses the glasses on the fire. “Well, that settles that. Either scar man is the vindictive type, or they know we’re here...”

As if to punctuate that statement, a troop of Alliance soldiers march to a stop on the tarmac outside the bay. The lead officer starts barking orders.

“Set up a command post here, use these empty bays. Johnson, go to the terminal headmasters office and find out when that shuttle docked and who flew in on it. Chen, take a team of men and find out who owned that shuttle or what ship it was registered to and I don’t care if you have to reassemble every little smoking piece to do it.”

Safe slowly and quietly lowers the grate. He holds a finger to his lips indicating to Jack and Citizen the need for silence. He crouches with them and, via hand gestures, communicates to Jack the number of soldiers and their positions.

Citizen watches on. Not exactly sure what was happening, but understanding enough to know the gravity of the situation. One didn’t survive long in his line of work without learning when to hold your tongue.

The three men slowly creep away from the grate as the vacant bay above them become a very busy place. As they reach a cross tunnel Jack signals Safe and Citizen to stop. They hear footsteps approaching. All three men draw their weapons.

What? Mai is missing? Did you try your wrist communicator?

*she speaks into hers*

Mai? Mai, where are you? Ath is looking for you.

*nothing*

Mai?

*still nothing*

Hmm..maybe she fell asleep somewhere strange. You know how hard it is to wake her up. Why don't you ask the computer to locate her?

Bride6 stops herself just before lobbing the grenade in her hand. She turns to Bride7. "Hey, don't we know those guys? Why, it's the guys we picked up during the Reaver attack! It's Mister Safe, and Mister Jack, and..."

Citizen takes a closer look at the pair of women. His eyes strain in the dim light to make out the features of the curly haired blonde. "Bobby Sue, is that you?"

Bride6 blushes, eyes downcast. "Hello, Mister Citizen."

Bride7 chuckles. "So you know this guy, too?"

"Uh huh. I used to work for him."

"She was a dancer," Citizen informs the group.

Bride6 looks up and glares at Citizen. "I was an ACTRESS!" Bride6 insists, face redder than before.

From above, there is another explosion.

Computer, locate Mai.

Mai is not aboard the Sereni-Tree.

Well! It seems to me that there is only one course of action for us to take. It is time for Mai-Quest II!

OOh! Mai-Quest!

Let me just go run and get my katanas!

And a banana. I'm really craving bananas today.
