Destiny: Mayhem, bugs, and foam...(Episode 7) by CastIronJack

Safe steps back from the daydreaming Jack, takes his bat out of it sheath on his back, winds up.....

..And starts beating himself in the forehead while saying over and over "Makeitstop...makeitstop..."

Jack grabs the bat from Safe, "what are you doing??"

"Trying to beat the mental image of Alex Trebeck beinging all Don-Quan-romantic-like outta my head.." Safe grabs the bat back.

Jack snatches the bat back and gives Safe a screwy look..shudders..then starts beating himself in the forehead with the bat muttering "Out out damn spot".

Safe tackles Jack and wrestles for control of the bat. Dr. Me produces and wicked looking syringe...injects himself, then injects Safe and Jack. The wrestling subsides and Safe and Jack are left sitting on the floor staring vacantly at the wall mumbling in unison "All hail Jimmy Kimmel"

Dr. Me admires his handy work, then turns to the cabinets, "I've gotta make another batch. That one just didn't have enough...kick."

"Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Kimmel..." Safe and Jack rant in unison.
"Jimmy Kimmel in Season 5 Andromeda Romy tight leather," Jack mumbles, "Jimmy Kimmel in tight leather..."
Safe blinks, "Jimmy Kimmel in tight leather???"
Jack blinks, "Jimmy Kim---" Jack bolts up, "GOOD GOD, MY EYES, MY EYES!!!!"
"It burns!" Safe grips his head, "IT BURNS!!!"
"Get it out!" Jack grabs Serenity from Trebek, "GET IT OUT!"

laughing...trying to breathe...laughing... (missed so much hilariousness! Apparently I don't have River's skills with a gun... Thanks everyone for keeping it going!)

Amy knocks on door of infirmary--"Um, hey guys, I understand the trauma you're going through right now about Trebeck and Serenity's loss of self-control, but I think there's gonna be even more trauma if we don't fasten down Needy. Jack, Jazaf, Safe, you guys wanna help fashion a muzzle for him? I'm thinking tough and sturdy and no more biting!"

The men, overcome by mental imagery, struggle to catch up with this new idea. To get their attention, Amy wipes a glob of drool from the back of her neck onto her hand and waves it in front of their faces.

Amy:"You could be next!"

Jack: "Aaahh! Good point!"

Jazaf: "Serenity...Trebek...gross...oh, drool is gross"

Safe: "I hate you Trebek" (in Sean Connery voice of course)

'Course, then I'd have to fly into a wild rage and kill Serenity so I could have Legolas for myself... that's a story line I don't want to write.

Safe opens a bag and using long handled tongs, proceeds to put marshmallows into Needy's mouth.

"Ever play 'Fuzzy Bunny'? It's a game where you put marshmallows in your mouth and say fuzzy bunny after each one. the trick is to be able to say fuzzy bunny with the most marshmallows."

Needy still stares up from his retraints, unmoved by the sundae in his mouth. Disgusted by the lack of response, Jack gets the crew's shop vac and sucks it out.

The rest of the crew have devoured the rest of the sundae madness, with the couples stealing a can of whipped cream each and heading for parts unknown.

Soon the rest of the crew follows suit and Jack is left alone with the catatonic Needy and the mess of trampled panic that had been the alien bug invasion.

One of the infirmary's scanners comes down from the ceiling, unbeknownst to Jack, and begins to scan the lewd photograph of Lexa Doig pinned neatly to the infirmary wall.

In Flechette's room, Jayne wakes up gently and steals away to the cargo bay.

Another screen turns on as Jack slaves away on the floor. It is Bubbles, unscarred by her attentions from the crew. She narrows her eyes at Jack and her face begins to transform.

The Cortex flairs to life on it's own. Various topics flash through the screen, digestible only by an artificial lifeform or computer program.

Topics of note: 'How to create your own lovebot', 'How to exterminate humans in space', 'The complete works of Lexa Doig', 'How to seduce men when you're a man-hating robot that wants only revenge', 'How to take over a Firefly's guidance systems and another robot that isn't you to build a new robot body to replace the one that got blown up by a BFG, sucked through a shop vac, and whose confetti-like remains were ejected into space', and finally, 'How to build your own BFG.'

At the helm, Jazaf hits the Cortex when he realizes that it's on.

It shuts off immediately.

HEY!! Wait-a-minute. The people are back!! Wahoo!

Safe hastily tries to hide the cardboard cutouts and any evidence of a tea-pity party.

Safe adopts an exagerated manly swagger, clears his throat and in what he hopes comes across as a gruff voice says "Yo, Jack....watcha doin' hunh? Hunh?". Winks broadly at Serenity, "Hey babe."

With his newly blackened eye, Safe waits to be handed his stupid sign...

Jack hands him a "With Stupid" shirt, whose arrow points not to the side, but up.

With the odd mood that Safe is in, Jack manages to escape a stranglely brotherly hug, and retire to his bunk after finishing the infirmary.

He sighs deeply when his boots keep sticking to the plated walkway and begins to mumble something about a powerwasher.

At the helm, Jazaf sets the autopilot and also goes to bed. As soon as he leaves the bridge, the lights go dark and the screens start accessing local star charts. A planet flickers on one screen and Jazaf's coordinates change to match.

Destiny jolts in the night shift. Everyone that wasn't asleep get a rude awakening as the Firefly begins to execute a planet landing without a pilot.

The infirmary seals, locking both Safe and Soul in the midstep of leaving. Klaxons sound and warning lights flare as the ship shimmies and shakes.

Jazaf flies out of his room only to be struck behind by an unknown assailant. Serenity passes his body on the way to the bridge. The unseen shadow of Jazaf's assailant goes down into the bowels of the ship. From the hall, Destiny's exec can see the planet looming from below the ship.

She runs into the bridge only to have it seal behind her. Surprised, she pounds on the door. She sees Jack and Safe make their way down the hall.

Jack sees her and gestures to Safe. Safe smiles and does nothing as Jack begins to fiddle with the control panel.

Jack gestures again at Safe's indifference. The panel explodes, sending an unconscious and shocked Jack into the handyman.

Safe catches him and slings the crew member over his shoulder. He walks over to the porthole in the door and mouthes, "You'd better land the ship, cupcake."

Gas begins to stream in the hall, but not the infirmary or the bridge. Before the gas fogs the view completely, Serenity catches a confused Amy and Trebeck rounding the end of the hall. She pounds furiously, but they fall as the evil Safe crosses their path.

The same happens to TRM and Flechette as they tries to free Safe and Soul from the infirmary.

Serenity is in a panic. She's fine flying the ship in normal circumstances, but this is NOT normal. They're coming in way too fast. She slides into the pilot's seat, hits three switches, then grabs the steering wheel (what is the thing called, anyway?) and tries her best to keep them all from dying.

She grabs the comm: Anyone not unconscious, strap yourselves in. This is going to be bumpy!

Are your eyes really black, Safe?

Anywho:

Serenity struggles with the column to guide the ship down. A gauge catches her eye. In disbelief, she taps the gauge.

The fuel has been jettisoned. Destiny is going down on little more than fumes! The fuel tanks display on the screens in front of her, the auxiliary tanks flashing yellow, passing into the red, as they begin their own purge. In desperation, Serenity searches the board for the auxiliary tank controls.

Clouds break in front of Destiny and mountains loom ahead. A shuttle warning flashes as one of the shuttles peel from the crashing transport. Serenity finds the tank controls and hits the switch before the red goes into the final line.

Ragged ridges flash by as Serenity wrestles with the column control. Inexplicably the screens in front of her begin to text roll with some kind of malfunction. One by one, the screens fill with data, only to blacken with inactivity as the error consumes the computer memory.

With computer guidance and power failing, Serenity grunts as the steering begins to become impossible.

Ahead, a flat icy plain appears just within Serenity's sight. The navigation panels begin to shut off. Destiny clips a ridge, pulverizing it with her speed, jolting Serenity and throwing Soul and Safe around in the infirmary. Serenity grits her teeth and burns out the remainder of the fuel through the altitude thrusters, fusing them with such a desperate maneuver.

But it pays off and Destiny sheds all her excess speed and contacts the plain, which explodes in snowy impact.

Silence. Serenity watches the snow fall in front of her in disbelief. The last of the panels goes dark and the lights flicker and die.

She grabs the com and starts to talk into it before realizing it too, is dead.

"Dammit," Serenity throws the mike away, "What else could go wrong?"

At that moment, Destiny lurches to port. Serenity is thrown to out of the pilot's chair. The silence of the ship is interrupted by a series of cracks and pops from the outside.

"What the..."

And then Serenity realizes that she didn't crashland on a frozen plain at all, but a frozen mountain lake. She gasps, "Oh my God."

More cracks and pops: Destiny skews to back to starboard. From her vantage point she watches the snow start to liquify in the new cracks in the ice. Puffs of snow escape from newer crevices across the vastness. The stern of Destiny dips, throwing Serenity into the door behind her as the bow of the ship pitches high. The clouds are overcast, Serenity notices in shocked doomed silence.

The cracking of the ice subsides as the ship begins its backwards journey into the cold unforgiving depths. Serenity is the last person to see the sky as the Firefly slips below the ice.

Throughout the ship, the crew is still unconscious due to the chemical haze that permeates the ship. Safe and Soul pound on the infirmary to no avail. So deep is the crews sleep that even with the chill water begins to trinkle in from the breach in the hull, it fails to wake them.

You know, if someone else would write some peril, you guys wouldn't find yourselves in these situations so often. 'Course, I'd get bored, too.

_______________________________________________
Ok..lets see, where were we...ah yes here we are, Soul and Safe stuck in the infirmary, Serenity in the bridge, the rest unconcious, the ship sinking in the water...

Safe: "I don't know what was in that tea, but my face hurts sumptin' fierce." "Lets see, there's a manual release for this door...right.." *prys back a panel beside the door to reveal a lever* "Here!!"

Safe pulls the lever down. There is a ratcheting noise and the door opens a little.

Soul hands Safe a surgical mask and puts on one of his own. "Don't know if this will help, but it's better than nothing."

Each ratchet of the lever gets more difficult and the door opens less each time.

Soul: "The angle the ship is on must be binding the door" Soul grunts as he tries to pry the door open further.

Soul & Safe manage to pry the door open enough for them to squeeze out. By this time the water is running past their feet and with the angle, it makes thier footing treacherous.

Soul: "Safe, you have any tricks up your sleeve to get us some power or get us outta here, now's the time. I'll try to get to the bridge to get our bearings." Tosses Safe a hand comm.

Oooh, that's some exciting peril!

But for future reference, I would NEVER say "What more could go wrong!" because I know that whenever you say that, EVERYTHING goes wrong.

---------------------------------------------------

The ship is sinking.

Serenity scrounges around for a way out of the bridge. All she can think about is all the unconscious members of her crew that are going to die if she can't get to them. She takes her jacket off and ties it over her mouth and nose, hoping it'll prevent her from beathing in whatever gasses knocked out the rest of the crew.

She sees Soul clamboring up to the Bridge as she begins to slowly try to ratchet the door open (if it worked for the guys in the infirmary it'll work for me, right?)

"Captain! You're awake! We got no power and we landed on a lake. It wouldn't support our weight and we're sinking fast. Can you get me out of here?"

Between the two of them, Soul and Serenity manage to pry the door open enough for them to get their fingers in the opening. Soul counts to three, and they pull on the door as hard as they can. Finally, there is enough room for one person to squeeze through, so Serenity steps into the hallway.

"What in God's name is going on?" she asks.

Soul shakes his head. "I'm really a bit clueless right now." He looks over Serenity's shoulder and his eyes widen as he watches the water stream past the viewscreen. "Okay, so I guess we really are sinking." He grabs the intercom mike off of his belt and depresses the button. "Safe, if you can, find out where we're taking in water from, pull free any crewmembers from that area, and seal of all bulkheads leading there. I'll be down to help you in a moment."

It is discovered that the air has lost most of it's effect on the crew. In the after a half hour, Destiny bumps the floor of the glacial lake with a resounding thud that sends everyone to their knees. Safe discovers the leak is in the cargo bay where Serenity skimmed the edge of a mountain. It's cold work, but he manages a quick patch job to slow the leak to a mere trickle. To do a complete job, he would have to go outside the ship.

The ship's skin groaning underneath the water pressure reminds him that that is not necessarily possible at this junction.

No fuel means no power and no heat. While not as cold as space, Destiny temperature drops into the high thirties. The flooding compounds the problems of the electrical nature.

Shivering in the cargo bay with a blanket wrapped tightly around him, Safe watches the water lap against the inside hull.

Serenity comes up to him fully armed, "Where's Jack?"

"Huh?"

"Jack," she reinterates, "Sorta tall, funny ideas..."

"How should I know?" Safe asks her, "I thought he went to bed when the gas hit."

Serenity searches Safe's eyes for any lie and finds none, "We've got a problem."

Safe shivers and looks around, "Only one?"

Serenity describes the scene before the gas flooded the ship. Safe's eyes bulge, "I've been doubled?"

"Didn't we flush out all the androids?" Serenity asks.

"'Cept Jayne, yeah."

"You don't suppose..."

Sorry about the Sereni-Tree, Safe. It seems like I barely have enough time to spike the wheel on this thread. Are your eyes really black?

"Have you seen TRM, Jazaf or Flechette around? We left needy still strapped to the table in the infirmary, and I found Amy in the dining area. I've got an idea about getting us topside."

Safe bolts for the engine room muttering something about modified Fireflys used as supply ships for the water planet on the Rim.

In the engine room, Safe wades to the very back of the room. "Please let this be one of the modifieds."

At the back wall Safe pushes some equipment out of the way and lets out a yell as he finds what he hoped was there. Two large compression tanks.

Safe, with considerable effort, turns the valves and is relieved to hear the hiss of gas being released. Looking around he finds the start button and punches it.

Outside, around the lower part of Destinys' hull, panels blow outward as bright orange spheres inflate.

Destiny slowly begins to rise.

Safe jumps for joy, bangs his head on an overhanging pipe, lands on a wrench and falls flat on his back. He lays there rubbing his head and smiling until he notices the tool box falling towards him..."this is going to leave a mark..."

A slight well proportioned woman in tight leather catches the toolbox before it hits a flinching Safe.

Safe opens his eyes when the toolbox fails to connect. The woman looks down at him quizzically, "I don't believe that we've met."

Behind her Jayne rubs his neck distractedly, "I kinda made her," he said, "Just don't tell Flechette."

"Are you..." Safe stutters, "Are you Lexa Doig?"

The woman pushes back the toolbox, "If you prefer. I find it odd that I would be based off an actress whose first acknowledged role was that of an android," she helps up Safe, "Being an android now it belays a sort of humorous joke."

Safe looks at the woman and then back at Jayne, "You made her?"

"Yeah, you ain't the only one's that handy with tools," he stood up straighter, "Used my own blueprints."

Lexa looks at him quizzically, "Despite his primary programming, he has the very human mandate of procreation in his underlying processes," she looks down where Safe's eyes had drifted down from her face, "Is there something wrong?"

"Eyes up, handyman!" Jayne commanded, "That's my daughter you're eyeballing!"

hehe! Now is she evil?

Yes, Safe, my dear, but we are currently flying on Destiny.

SereniTREE is the other thread.

And Serenity is a ship owned by Malcom Reynolds. Which was named after the Battle of Serenity Valley. The valley, in turn was named after me. Really. I'm famous 500 years in the future. You just don't know it yet.

I can go back and edit my posts and we can pretend like it never happened.

Be not embarrased. As a dyslexic person, I often say the wrong word, so I know what that's like.

This troubles me. This troubles me greatly. That and no one seems interested in finding me. This must be what Needy felt like before he went catatonic.
