RP: "Adventures in Gunrunning"

Inara's turn

Inara finishes unwrapping the bandages from around Damon's midsection. The dried blood has adhered the bandages to raw skin, so the going is rough. Damon's bullet wound is angry-looking, the skin is frayed, and there is a large X shape cut into the skin....none of Simon's usual neatness is present. Damon groans and breathes in sharply as she presses a gauze pad to his wound. Inara glances over at Simon, he's still frantically trying to stauch the flow of blood from Sight's eyes.

Searching the closest cabinets and drawers, Inara finds clean bandages and antiseptic spray. "This will have to do until Simon is ready to stitch these"

End Inara's turn

OOC: I was going to point out that unconscious men don't react to pain, but then I realized that I could just use it as an opportunity to get back into the game. Thanks Ciara!!

Damon's turn:
Location: infirmery

Damon groans as he starts coming around. He tries to focus on waking up, but is too tired to open his eyes. He can feel someone removing the bandages from his bullet wounds and hears voices not far away.
"By the way, Captain, here's the coordinates for the shipment we're supposed to pick up, if we ever get moving again."
"Qu in de, old man. We'll get your gorram cargo. Zoe, Wash. Where the guai are you? And where's that ROHAN girl? Get your pee-goos down to the common area ma-shong."
Damon tries to ask where he is, but only manages another groan. He inhales sharply as something is pressed against one of his wounds. The piercing pain in his hip threatens to push him back into darkness, but then it stops, leaving a heavy ache in his side.
He tries to push whoever it is away, but his feeble efforts only manage to touch someone's hand.
"This will have to do until Simon is ready to stitch these"
He blinks slowly and looks up at a beautiful woman standing over him. His distrust slowly fades as her comforting presence promises that she's here to help him.
He sucks in another breath as she continues to clean his wounds and releases it when she pauses.
"Shit it hurts..." he takes a moment to catch his breath and then locks eyes with her. "What happened? I was fine..."

Slight regains his mind, and starts to catch Simons fists, and tosses him back easily against the wall. He reaches up and whipes the blood off of his face. He bares his teeth, trying hard not to kill everyone in the room.
"I didn't do a damn thing to your mei mei, pee goo. And if you keep laying on me like this, you will both die. You'll notice she's perfectly fine. So back off."
Slight starts gulping air. "Now for the last time, I'm here to help. I left the Blue Sun, alright? And I took with me quite a few bits and pieces of intel that might help her get better. I'm getting awefully sick of trying to be a gorram good guy." Slight pulls a data stick from his coat, and hands it to Simon. "In here is information about a switch. If you don't turn it off soon, she will die."
Slight pauses to take another whipe at his mouth.

Book watches Simon's uncharacteristic pummeling of Slight and pauses only long enough for Simon to pound Slight into hurried speech before moving forward to grab his arms and hold him back.

As Book holds Simon and Slight begins to speak, River and Thorne appear at the doorway of the infirmary. Book releases Simon's arms and looks at the data stick in Slight's outstretched hand.

MAL:"Doc! You gone you jing shen bing on us?
THORNE(at the same time as MAL):"Son! This man is not your enemy, or your sister's! Calm down and we can straighten this out."

[Book holds the still-struggling SIMON as RIVER enters and stands in front of him, gazing intently at his bloody fist. SLIGHT holds out a data stick to SIMON]

SLIGHT:"In here is information about a switch. If you don't turn it off soon, she will die."

{THORNE sees a chance to get through to SIMON.]

THORNE:"Doctor, before you do anything else, listen to your sister. She'll tell you that this man can do her no harm...and may be able to help her greatly. Listen."

[Meanwhile in the cargo bay, ROWAN has the garbage all bagged and ready to load in the truck. A telephone booth falls from nowhere onto the pile of bags, scattering the just-collected junk. Two young men in jeans, tees and unbuttoned plaid shirts get out. "Whoa, dude! That was excellent! Hey, hot asian babe, you seen our princesses?" Too stunned to speak, ROWAN can only shake her head. "Bogus! Let's try the 24th century next, Ted!" They re-enter the booth, whch disappears with a flash, leaving the floor again strewn with garbage. ROWAN reaches for a bottle of tequila.]

Book
Inara
Thorne
Damon
Slight
Mal

Is that right? If so, it's gettin' mighty crowded in there.

Book's Move

Location: Infirmary

Book watches the rush of people, senses that he may not be a part of what is about to be said, and he tries to sidle over to a side med table, which holds the freshly awakened Damon. But Inara intervenes and asks Book to look at Simon's hand. Book remains behind Simon for a moment, then goes to a drawer and returns with a bottle and a wrapping.

Book to Inara

"He almost deserves what he got."

A loud crash from the cargo bay punctuates Book's statement, but unfortunately the blinds on the infirmary window are still drawn and he can't see what's going on. Book quickly sterilizes Simon's bruised and somewhat bloodied hand and wraps it in gauze.

Book to Simon

"You'll be fine, just don't hit anybody for a few days, son."

Inara's turn

LOCATION: INFIRMARY, NEAR DAMON

Inara is bending to secure the last of the gauze she's used to wrap Damon's abdominal wound. Suddenly from behind her, a loud sound....she had been so absorbed in cleaning Damon's wounds, she heard nothing of the exchange.

Bodies push against her, the room seems suddenly full. Simon has Slight against the window, pinned to the plexiglass. One large hand is wrapped around Slight's neck. The sight of Simon's long doctor's fingers squeezing a man's throat seems obscene to Inara. Simon begins punching Slight over and over...

YOU {the crunching impact of knuckles on flesh}
*BU {impact}
*HUI {impact}
*HEN {impact}
BUTCHER {impact}

Inara flinches at every impact, the smack of flesh on flesh, the thump of skull on unyielding plexiglass...a guttural sound bubbles up in her throat...a scream of negation...NO, SIMON! You'll kill him! Her right hand wanders unconciously to the weapon tucked to her left side.

The moment stands still...and Inara can see herself reach across her body to pull the weapon, arms stiff and unwavering. She can see herself sight on Simon's shoulder, feel the jerk of the weapon as it discharges....smell the gritty, pungent scent of a discharged weapon......

then the scene speeds up, her weapon is still tucked into her waistband, and Simon is thrown against the wall by Slight...whose eyes flash in primal rage.

SLIGHT:
"I didn't do a damn thing to your mei mei, pee goo. And if you keep laying on me like this, you will both die. You'll notice she's perfectly fine. So back off."

Book, Mal, and Thorne flank Simon...his rage spent, he wears a look fo drained confusion.

Inara hurries forward and grabs a clean cloth from the counter. Sighing, she ponders which man needs attention first: Simon, drained and bleeding from several wounds across the knuckles of his right hand, or Slight, whose eyes still hold a dangerous anger, and whose face is a mass of blood.

Inara decides to risk it, and moves toward Slight, hands raised in a sign of peace.

INARA:
"Please...just let me stop the bleeding..."

he allows her to approach.

"let's just all try to be calm....Book--have a look at Simon's hand. she whispers under her breath: "we may need to sedate him"

Please, no more fighting right now...we are ALL in danger...has anyone seen Niska yet?!

Slight sighs slightly, and leans against the far corner. Is this the go se he can expect from doing the right thing?
"When I left the Blue Sun, I decided they owed me a retirement gift or two, plus some health insurance." Slight smiles weakly, trying vainly to make a joke. "After all, when you swich doctors, you're supposed to take along your records, right?" Slight drops his smile. "I took the numbers of bank accounts, and cashed them all out. With a corporation the size of the Blue Sun, they won't miss five or six hundred thousand plat anyway. And I also snagged some weaponry, but-" Slight hesitates, long enough for the crew to realize he's lying, "I've lost them. In that stick, is the records of all regressive therapies used on River, plus myself and several others. Rosie here isn't on there, I checked. Looks like his treatments weren't all that extensive.
"And I'm only gonna say this one last time. I had nothing do to with the treatments on River. Hell, I was right next to her, spending my own time under the knife. For some reason, though, she was incredibly important. The Blue Sun invested heavily into her, so much so that they drew from the government funds. The Alliance wasn't too happy about that, and ever since they both are looking for her. If it weren't so damn scary, the Alliance might have tried to shut it down by now."

Cracking the seal quickly, she twists the cap off and takes one long drink. Grimacing as it lights a fire in her throat on the way down, she scans the garbage bags again. At least now if she’s going to hallucinate, she has a good excuse for it.

Book gives Mal a nod as he leaves and turns his attention back fully upon his task.

Book to Simon

"Hold on son, almost done."

Book stops wrapping for a moment and tries to get Simon's attention, but Simon is staring intently at Slight.

"You're not going to go hitting that man again, are you? Simon... Doctor... look at me."

Simon wrenches his gaze from Slight, momentarily looks at Book and then snaps back to Slight. Book feels Simon's hatred for the man burn into him in that instant, and easing behind Simon, Book looks to Inara and nods in Simon's direction then at the drug cabinet behind her.

Location: Infirmery- on the counter made into a bed?

Alarm bells go off in Damon's head when he hears the sound of fists hitting flesh not far away.
YOU {the crunching impact of knuckles on flesh}
*BU {impact}
*HUI {impact}
*HEN {impact}
BUTCHER {impact}
He clenches a fist and pushes himself up onto an elbow.
"NO, SIMON! You'll kill him!" the woman next to him screams.
The familiar phrase rings painful memories, but he quickly pushes them aside. For once it was a pounding that he didn't have to worry about and he wasn't in any shape to do anything about it anyway.
So many people in one room, none of whom he knew, most of which were armed, and by the looks of it, a number of them were crazy. It made him uneasy to say the least. The only two people that seemed to be keeping their heads and not yelling or trying to punch someone was the woman next to him and an older black man who was coming towards them.
"He almost deserves what he got."
The woman moves to help the red eyed man and tries to smooth the situation a bit. "Let's just all try to be calm... Book, have a look at Simon's hand."
The captain gives out jobs to everyone, apparently they are looking for something. Damon remains quiet and decides to wait for things to calm down before he starts asking questions again.

When Simon moves away to help the red-eyed man on the table, Kaylee takes the stool he just left and watches him work. She can't believe what just happened. Maybe Simon'll stop saying the wrong thing around her now.

She shoots to her feet as Simon starts to beat the tar out of his patient.

"What the...?" she thinks.

Seeing the absolute fury on his face, Kaylee begins to wonder about the doctor. She never realized he had this much violence inside of himself.

Somewhat scared now, she backs towards the door as Thorne & River brush past her. With one last look over her shoulder, she flees to her haven, not even caring that Niska is still out there somewhere.

Maybe Simon isn't the man she's imagined he is.

Inara catches Book's nod, and gives him one of her own. She finishes what work can be accomplished on Slight, the man's face is badly bruised, and there are several abrasions and lesions that are still oozing a bit. She sprays them lightly with a sealant, and finishes cleaning the blood from his cheeks.

Inara gathers up the bloodied gauze and walks over to the trash receptacle, two steps away from the drug cabinet.

Glancing over to make sure Book has Simon's attention, she slowly turns the handle and opens the door.

Peeking inside, she quickly shoves away the antibiotics and immunity-boosters. Her fingers find what she's searching for. A small vial with a crisp white label marked Moxoceline B. Inara hurriedly fills a syringe from the stock in the cabinet, tapping the side to assure herself there is no air trapped in the cylinder. "don't want to kill our only doctor just yet" she thinks

Slowly turning, the syringe hidden in one hand, Inara approaches Simon's turned back. She places one slim hand on his shoulder, and prepares to administer the powerful tranquilizer.

Book listens closely to Simon's voice and his accusations against Slight and Damon. He moves, as Simon is talking, from his spot next to Simon to one near River. Himself and River apparently forgotten by Simon in his tirade, Book leans down to her and whispers in her ear.

Book to River

"Where is your brother right now, River?"

Book stands up straight again and waits a little longer for Simon to reveal his purposes, and he thinks... how unlike Simon it is to say to someone else who just arrived on Serenity, in need of help, that they couldn't be considered crew.... especially when he himself so recently arrived on this ship under certain circumstances.

Book's mind rolls over Simon's words... *Book argues with himself in his head* He's trying to link the newcomers to Badger and Niska and Early. Is he? He wants us to suspect them, but he's too vehement in his words, and he seems to know much of what Early would do. Be a righteous shepherd, maybe he's just defending his sister? maybe.

"Yeah, Mal...got it. No problem. Good, good..."

Kaylee has never called the captain by his name before. She doesn't even notice what she's said.

ASTRIANA

Zoe's/Wash's Moves:

From the common area, ZOE hears MAL in the infirmary as he thumbs the intercom.

MAL: "ZOE, WASH. Where the guai* are you? And where's that ROHAN girl? Get your pee-goos* down to the common area ma-shong*."

Figuring that any new noise or sudden movement could cause trouble, ZOE stoicly crosses her arms over her chest and waits patiently for MAL to notice that they're standing in the common area. WASH watches ZOE take her stance and figures that emulating her is probably his best bet at the moment.

ZOE and WASH hear a crash from the cargo bay and notice that ROWAN hasn't joined them yet.

ZOE (to herself): "Wonder if she's angry at being ordered about or just isn't great with a dustpan? Either way, we'll have to find sumthin' else for her to do..."

WASH jumps, then looks sheepishly at ZOE, who seems to be lost in her own thoughts, then thinks that he certainly should be jumpy, with all that's been going on. Case in point, the insanity that seems to be coming from the infirmary.

They hear MAL's voice come over the intercom again.

MAL: "JAYNE! Get to the cargo bay an' team up with that Rosanne girl. Search the whole bay, even the hidey holes. ZOE! You an' WASH check the bridge and crew bunks. Then both teams work aft. Remember, if you find Niska, I want him alive...sorta."

ZOE hands DAMON's gun to WASH and watches him check to make sure it's loaded, then draws her trusty Winchester.

ZOE: "I'll lead, you watch my back. We'll start in the bridge. Keep your eyes open for anything that looks outta place."

WASH: "Right, start on the bridge and work our way aft. Let's go get this hotze de pigu*."

They exit the common area, up the stairs and across the catwalk to the fore stairs, headed for the bridge.

End Move.

*Translations:
guay = devil
pee-goos = backsides
ma-shong = on the double
hotze de pigo = monkey's backside

Slight looks around, glad to be rid of the undue violence. "Well, captain? Shall we begin, then?"

Everyone Dies. Someone's carrying a bullet for you, doesn't even know it. The trick is, to die of old age before he finds you.

Book's Move

Locale: Infirmary

Book looks sympathetically to River. He can see the worry in her face and the anxiety in her posture.

Book to River

"Don't worry."

River and Simon are now focused on each other. Book moves next to River, puts an arm around her and leads her across the room to Inara. River remains intent on Simon.

Book to Inara

"Take care of River for a moment, Inara."

Book stops and looks down for a moment, obviously thinking exactly what he means to do. When he looks back up again he still doesn't appear too sure of anything. But he walks resolutely back across the small infirmary to Simon, stops and stands in front of him.

Book to Simon

"It's time you told me more about what you were doing with that contraption you hooked up between you and Niska."

Keep the Shiny side up

Mal's/Thorne's move:

SLIGHT:"Well, captain? Shall we begin, then?"

MAL:"KAYLEE, you dog this hatch when we leave, an' don't open up 'less you know who it is. Hear? When we're able to lift, comm me. [to SLIGHT] "You say you're good at seein' things. Then you go first and see NISKA for us. I'm still not sure if you're story's a Fei fei pian or not, so we'll be right behind. Start in the galley."

[THORNE checks the loads in his revolver and rubs the side of his head where his missing right ear should be.]

THORNE:[in a sing-song voice]"NISKA. Come out, come out, wherever you are. I got something for you."

[The group enters the galley and searches nooks and crannies, storage spaces, under placemats. No NISKA]

EOM

Fei fei pian: Fat lie

"Keep the Shiny side up"

Kaylee's Move
Location: Engine Room

Kaylee vaguely waves in the direction of the captain as he tells her to lock the door.

"We're ready to go, whenever you say..."

She locks the door behind the trio, then crawls into her hammock, her mind still on Simon.

End Move

Character locations:

Mal, Thorne, Brink = just left engine room.
Kaylee = engine room
Simon, Book, Damon = infirmery
Inara, River = just left infirmery
Zoe, Wash = looking for Niska on the bridge
Rowan, Jayne = Cargo bay
Niska = ?

Damon's turn:

Damon lies on a bed in the infirmery, wondering if it is safe to fall asleep. He watches as people begin to leave. Finally, when all but the doctor, preacher and himself have left, the preacher addresses the doctor.
"It's time you told me more about what you were doing with that contraption you hooked up between you and Niska."
Damon absently adjusts a handcuff on his wrist and tries to remember where he had heard that name before...

I'm not broken, in my dream I win...
