Destiny, Episode 10: Forbidden Planet by NEEDY

Happy Birthday Amy!

WoW All! Thanks for the kind words- I certainly don't feel brave- tho stressed is a good term right now.

As for the humor - well if I don't laugh, I'll cry -so laughter it is

Slight update on Tim - that explains part of his behavior- seems there an "unofficial" contest? race? between the guys going to see who came get the most done before they head off. Not that Tim admits this- I just got an email from one of the wives who was concerned about her hubby suddenly trying to be Bob Villa. She and I did a hmmm moment via telephone after that and called a few more spouses; seems like alot of the more competative (sp?) guardsmen are really going all out to get their civilian lives in order.

Bless 'em

I still don't know whats up w/ not talking about future plans but I'd bet there another contest/race/bet on that subject too. It just makes too much sense and the guys have done stuff like this before.

The entire situation is so hard to describe, no one in their right mind wants to go and leave their loved ones and happy live. But they do want to serve. and it's so very hard to get even close friends to understand that Tim wants this. No he doesn't want to leave a comfortable bed and restaurants and me and the cat. But he does want to go and serve his country and maybe help other people and to do that leaving is part of the price he agreed too.

and Gah I still can't properly put it into words.

But anyway Thank you all for being here!

Group hug!

Finally finished cleaning up the mess, under Flechette's supervision, Safe grumbles his way to the engine room.

There was more than enough cleaning there to keep him busy for a while.

Flechette, I definitely understand about the laughing versus crying--I always pick the same one you do. Did you ever see Charlie Chaplin's "Modern Times"? He wrote the song "smile though your heart is breaking" for the end of it. [It's a beautiful (and funny) movie, and that song title has always stuck with me]

I feel a little better since you said some of Tim's behaviour is just a competition among the guys. I was pretty worried after your first post. I hope you will give us his military address when he leaves so we can send him letters and goodies. I'm really into Anysoldier.com and I would really love to send him something when he goes. Will he have a copy of firefly to take with him? If not, perhaps I shall "organize" one for him :) Please let me know what stuff he would like.

Big hug, Amy

Heya!

Believe me Amy I was worried about Tim too! still am but it's more normal worry now.

And yes we do have a spare DVD set of Firefly for him to take with him- it was one of the first thing we bought last time he went :D

I know he'll love letters and goodies so I'll be certain to pass on his info once he's over there. We got a while yet, as it stands-

April 1 - June 11 : premobilization: Tim home every night - by day he's getting helping get the unit ready to go

June 11-Aug31 (dates very iffy) Unit at Ft Dix NJ doing other premob activities

Sept 1 -? mobilized and over in Kuwait for up to 18months tho likely not actually there that long.

Aside from anysoldier another good site is www.treatsfortroops.com Tim was signed up with them last time and got a ton of stuff. I just hope he was good about returning the thank you cards. You can either send stuff to any soldier registered with them or specify a soldier. It worked great for all Tim's bachelor buddies to go online, choose something, and pay via credit card.

He took up making chainmail the last time he went over, I wonder if he'll do that again...

anyway - Thank again all for letting me vent some pressure, back to work... drats!

Michelle

meanwhile on the outside of Destiny
Jazaf stands on a wing and looks confused at the hull damage.
'You want me to put the what in the where?'
Jayne shakes his head disapprovingly, 'This ain't no way to help out.'
Amy wanders out side rubbing her sides for warmth and asks Jayne 'How's the repairs going?'
'Going? It ain't even started yet! That Sha gwa
doesn't know a wrench from a lead pipe.'
'I heard that! I'm a Navigator dammit not a Handyman! I wouldn't be up here if I didn't have to repay you for that thing .....back in the snow.' Jazaf decided to cut it short since he didn't feel like having every crewmember knowing his dressing habits.
'Gorramit boy! I already told you five times! take the blowtorch, soften the metal and then use that mallet in your hands to pound it back in place!'
'Is that really how you do it?' Amy whispers to Jayne.
Jayne watches Jazaf finally acknowledge the instructions be fore he turns to Amy and replies in a low voice, 'Hell no. I just told him that to keep him busy. That metal is designed to withstand the heat of breaking atmo there is no gorram way he can fix it the way I told him to.'
Jayne chuckles to himself as he and Amy head back into the ship.

Jazaf stands there, blowtorch in hand, when an image of a Lollipop forms in his head.
'....Dammit. I feel like a Sucker.'

Please please keep us posted and send us his info. I'll be glad to send him stuff when he's overseas. He's be bombarded with browncoaty letters and goodies!

Hey Needy,
I finally got to read the first handful of chapters of Dale/Safe's Boros adventure (it was awesome, by the way) and it was funny 'cause I expected you to be this shrunken little boywhore and instead you were presented as the handsome dashing companion. I had forgotten to disassociate what happens in this crew from...whatever else :) It made me realize how much these characters had taken on reality in my mind.

Scary!

Hope everyone is doing well (busy, I'm going to guess). I've been sick the last few days which has been bad for my standing at work but good for catching up on some other stuff (like Dale's writing). And I finally got to listen to some of the commentaries on FF (never yet heard 'em) and they are hilarious.

Cheers, Amy

Glad you got round to reading, and enjoyed, the Boros fic. It was a lot of fun for me too (to read that is, let alone take part)

And as for me being the handsome dashing companion and not the shrunken version? Well of course! What did you expect?

*acts dashingly*

*trips over*

Amazing really, since I was sitting down and not really moving.

...

I was really planning on adding to the story (honest), I had a whole plan - add to SereniTree, add to this, get the next chapter of Needy's Destiny posted.
1 out of 3's not bad... no, it really is considering I've done next to nothing all day.

Well I've updated my LiveJournal page - something I created a while back but hadn't actually done anything with... but other than that...

Boy this is depressing, I'm going to watch a movie.

Oh and Amy - Those Firefly commentaries really are great. In fact, I believe it was listening to them that I fully appreciated the fun that can be had with commentaries. I'd listened to a few before, but most had been dry and not that interesting - these were great. I've actually listened to the pilot commentary twice, which is rare (And pretty stupid really since there's plenty of other things I haven't yet watched that I could have spent my time with. Oh well)

The Man They Call Soul...

Soul walks up to a small box in the engine room labeled "Storyline". It seems to be rather inert. He kicks the box, but nothing happens. Wacks it a few times with a spare wrench. Nothing. Sighing, he stands back and crosses his arms.

"Anyone have jumper cables?"

Needy slides in from out of nowhere.

"I've got a shower you can use. Well it's not a shower per se, it's more like a jacuzzi, but I'm sure you will find it relaxing"

Willie looks down and spots where the proposal was coming from

"Ah Needy, I wondered where you had got to."

"I've been here the entire time" he replies

"You have? I didn't..."

"Just kidding, I got held up with... snow"

"Snow?"

"Snow"

"Well, I appreciate your offer but the reason I want a shower is not just to relax - as you can tell, I'm a bit oily at the minute"

"That's no problem."

"Really? You like oily women do you?"

"Oily, greasy, whatever. I kinda like dirty women"

"I'm not entirely surprised, but I think I'd still like a shower."

Needy sighs and adds "Well, if you insist, I believe there's one down the hall there. We've got a few spare rooms on the ship, and Reddik's old one down there has a shower. I don't suppose he'll mind you using his."

"Ok, thanks" She replies, not sure whether to ask about this Reddik character, or the reason why there's a few empty rooms. Did something terrible happen? she wondered. Maybe it was best not to ask too many questions. After all, she's only just met these people. As nice/odd as they seem, she knows its not her business to pry into their history just yet

Jazaf enters the firefly-class ship called Destiny. He's covered in snow and has a few singe marks on his shoulders, chest and left thigh. There is also a small localized fire still burning in Jazaf's messy hair.
'Jayne!!!!' he shouts. 'You gorram son of a whore! I was out there for....', Jazaf tries to do a calculation in his head but comes up blank, 'a really long time trying to fix the ship the way you suggested.' Jayne saunters up to Jazaf, mug in hand, and asks real calm like 'Did it work?'
Jazaf's jaw nearly dropped to the floor.
'Did it work!?! Course it worked! We should be able to withstand breaking atmo in three hours!' sarcasm dripping off of every word.
Without missing a beat Jayne replies 'Good. keep it up.' He takes a swig from his mug and walks off. Jazaf's brain is suddenly on fire with ideas on how te get Jayne back. As Jazaf stands there fuming the Lexa Doig bot happens to wander by effectively ruining his train of thought. With all the vengenance plots thrown to the wind Jazaf is able to focus on reality.
'Say......what's burning?'

Jazaf wipes away the stuff from around his eyes.
'Thanks Doc. Well, since that's over I have some clothes to wash.'
He takes the syrup covered clothes and heads to the laundry room to get them washed. He grumbles as he throws the clothes into the washer and gets syrup all over his arms in the process.
'Gorramit.' he says tiredly. Then he heads to the shower to get cleaned up.

Doctor Me comes strolling into the room.

"Nonsense, Serenity! Our recent adventures should convince you that an engineer is essential to our survival. Ever since that creepy Gollum-like individual went missing, we have been living on borrowed time."

He turns to Willie and bows deeply.

"Please, Miss, consider joining our crew as engineer. While I suppose that I have the technical expertise for that position, it would take time away from my many experiments... oh, and from healing the crew, too. So, what do you say?"

As Doctor Me waits for an answer, he takes his first good look at Willie.

Flechette, Amy, and Lexa enter the hold and sum up the situation with a glance.

Flechette, “ Okay, anyone or thing with a penis attached- OUT!”
Amy, “ Yep – we’ll settle this friendly-like between all us ladies”

Their matching stilted grins have the menfolk backing up cautiously.

Lexa, “I do believe privacy is required gentleman, please exit this area for a short period of time. I would like to expand my knowledge of human interactions and this promises to be entertaining.”

Serenity, Willie, Flechette, and Amy all slant a glance at Lexa.

Lexa, “I meant informative- really I did!”

Doctor Me, “Now ladies surely we can….”

Flechette, “ Bubbles, Buttercup would you be so kind?”

Bubbles and Buttercup each take one of Doc Me’s arms and lead him out- willingly or not.

Jazaf, “ But we wanna watch!”

Amy points to the door with her chopsticks and glares, Jazaf reluctantly heads out

Safe looks at Serenity, Serenity smiles evilly back, and Safe decides the better part of valor is retreating quickly and quietly.

Willie looks at Needy, “Go on Hon - I’ll be alright. We will need stuff settled if I do stay.”

Needy gives the assembled ladies a strong stare, “ I expect you all will behave as you would have us men do, right. There’s no need for a catfight unless ….hmmmm” Needy trails off at the delightful thought of a 4 woman catfight….

Willie chuckles, “ Keep that dream warm Companion and lets get this over with.”

Needy heads out with a final turn and serious look, and then departs.

Lexa follows to the door, locks/bars it, then asks, “ What next?”

Willie, Amy, Flechette, and Serenity all look at each other and burst into laughter.

Lexa, looking puzzled, “ I really don’t ‘get’ humans!”

"Awww man!! Now we can't hear and most importantly see the fight" Needy says trying to peer under the door.

"Au contraire gentlemen." Dr. Me says, producing a stethoscope. "I knew these things would come in handy one of these days."

"OOO good idea! I think I have something similar for engine diagnostics." Safe sprints back to the engine room and returns with a small bag.

He hands stethoscope to Jazaf and takes one for himself.

Needy looks up expectantly, "Umm where's mine?"

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot." Safe hands Needy a dixie cup.

"What am I... How come you...aww forget it" Needy huffs and places the cup against the door and his ear to the cup "Rassa frassin' mumble mumbe..."

"Captain, you want to listen?" Safe asks Soul who seems to be taking this all in stride.

"No thanks Safe." Soul sits back, making sure the others can't see the screen of his laptop computer, and keys up the security cameras for the room.

All the menfolk save Soul, who watches the events safe in his quarters, crowd the door.
'Can you hear anything?'
'I got nothing.'
'Why are they being so quiet! I thought catfights were loud.'
'Do you think they're still in there?'
'Why would they leave?'
The men back away from the door in frustration.
'I couldn't hear a gorram thing and I'm blaming you Safe for giving me this rutting dixie cup.'
'Well, being the Little man o' pleasure that you are, I didn't think you'd know how to use our listening devices.'
'I've played Doctor with more women than you can shake a wrench at!'
'I'm going in.'
All eyes turn to Jazaf. Entering a room with ladies conversing on personal and other topics not meant for male ears was a gutsy move. Especially when the women within could very well kill him. He takes a deep breath to calm his nerves. He tries the door.
'It's locked.' he says with more relief then he wanted known.
'What about the air ducts?' Needy says pointing up.
Within moments Jazaf is snaking through the duct system and after a few bad turns finds himself in the empty common room.
'Empty?'
Jazaf goes over and unlocks the door and lets in the rest of the crew.
'Well crud.'
'I figured a catfight would'a left some ripped clothes, a bra or two, and a pair of panties all thrown about the room.' Jaynebot says. Safe, Needy, Jazaf, and Jack take a moment of silence to imagine a horrible yet sexy battle between the First Mate and the Engineer hopeful.
'Well, they did leave a boot.' Doc. Me noted.
'Not enough to get excited over.'
'So where did they go?'

“Hmmm… This isn’t working well.” Inside the common room, the males conclusively determine that the place is empty of females… or at least, of HUMAN females. Doctor Me suddenly gets an idea. He finds Bubbles, turns her around, opens a panel in her back, dons a special pair of goggles with attached earphones, and plugs a cord from the goggles into a convenient socket in her back. He frowns, disappointed. “Hmmmm… need some adjustments, here.”

Safe is curious. “Doc, what are you looking at?”

TheRealMe tinkers with Bubbles’ back. “Well, there are THREE female lovebots of this same model aboard Destiny. While our womenfolk used Bubbles and Buttercup to escort us out of their presence, they ignored Blossom. Most likely, Blossom followed behind them, wherever they went. Now, with just a few adjustments, any of the lovebots can perceive the surroundings of any other. In short, we can use this arrangement to see and hear anything Blossom can. I anticipate that this feature will be quite useful in the future… For example, if we ever find ourselves on a planet with gender-segregated hot springs baths.”

TheRealMe smiles. “Ah! I’m getting something! Uh, well, they’re… Ummm..."

In the women's hiding place, Blossom turns to Serenity and Flechette. "The men have hacked into my sensory circuits. What do you want me to show them?"

Dissatisfied with the reception he is getting through Bubbles, Doctor Me departs for a short time, then returns to the common room with a guitar. He strums it a few times.

“It’s been a long while, about a year, since I last composed a song. So, in hopes of convincing Willie to stay with us… here, for the first time anywhere, is a little ditty that I call Willie and her Destiny!”

Willie and Her Destiny

Willie, Willie, you’d be silly
To join up with this crew.
Truth is, facing certain doom
Is mostly all we do.

‘Tween kill-bots, Kimmels, mutant Needy,
And a large insectoid hive…
It’s a wonder, really, that
There’s anyone alive.

And crashing on this planet, well,
It’s hard to count the cost.
But we’re still here, except of course,
For all those we have lost.

Doctor Me stops, realizing sheepishly that he needs to sing about reasons for Willie to stay, not run away screaming.

TheRealMe, Doctor of Destiny!

OOC: TRM that's was fantastic!!! You should get the guitar out more often. Now though, I feel the need to write a song.

"Ooh, well done genius" Needy remarks. "You do want her to stay don't you?"

"I liked it" Safe jumps in, standing up for Me

"Yeah, I liked it to" Needy reveals, "but we do want her to stay right?"

"Well go on then, you give me your version." Me challenges

"What... a song?"

"Yeah" Me insists

"Well I can't play guitar" Needy admits as the others groan about his lame excuse.

"Alright, I'll play for you." Me offers

"Ooookaaaaay." Needy replies hesitantly. "Alright, I've got it."

Me starts to play as Needy begins to sing:

Willie we'd be honoured
If you'd stay with us for now
our ship is cracked and battered
and to fix it you know how

you've met the crew we're friendly
we welcome you on board
our robots may be deadly
but they're the best we could afford

forget all you've been told
about our many troubles
how life in space is cold
and full of evil doubles

Yes there is some weirdness
and strange mutations too
look at me if you must
I once was 6ft 2

Still I have no regrets
I love this twisted crew
And I'll place a solid bet
that you will love it too

"How's that?" Needy asks the silent crew.

I have an idea!

*Serenity pulls her hair out of its ponytail and turns to Willie.*

Willie, I'm so glad we've talked things over. I feel so very...close to you right now.

*She steps in closer towards Willie, who, catching on, takes a step towards Serenity, giving her a sly smile.*

I do so hope we can be...friends. Good friends.

*She places a hand on Willie's shoulder.*

The silence is broken by the womens voices coming loud and clear from Bubbles back.

"Dr. Me," Jazaf Says peering intently at the display screen in Bubbles back "I think your reception's been fixed."

Suddenly the area behind Bubbles becomes very crowded. Soul crosses his arms, shaking his head.

Needy hops up and down at the back of the group "What? What's going on? C'mon guys... Let me see..."

Bubbles looks over her shoulder "This isn't right..." She takes a step to the side. The men, as one, side to the side, their eyes never leaving the screen.

Bubbles steps forward. The men once again follow suit as one.

Soon Bubbles is leading the shuffling group of men around the room.

The best of friends...

*Willie leans in, her wet hair obscuring a proper view of Serenity's face. She places a kiss on Serenity's cheek and pulls her body close... hands moving through her hair and across her back. To all watchers, even the ladies, it looks as if Willlie and Serenity are locked in one heck of a snog*

*moan*

*Blossom broadcasts the entire exchange*

Thinking quickly, Doctor Me inserts a memory crystal into a slot in Bubbles' back, to record the scene for posterity.

*Serenity reaches her hand around Willie's waist, pulling her closer.*

*she whispers in Willie's ear, just loud enough for the men to hear.*

Come to my bunk.

Needy's ears prick up.

"Hey, I heard that! What's going on?!"
The others nudge him back, shushing him.
Refusing to be ignored, Needy steps back and then runs and jumps on Safe's back.
Enthralled with the current girl-on-girl action, Safe barely flinches as Needy proceeds to hang on to his jacket, climbing up his back until he pulls himself up and gets comfortable resting his arms on Safe's shoulders

"Whoa" Needy's jaw drops

SOULOFSERENITY

The Man They Call Soul...

Soul stands in the corner, his arms crossed, a recently lit stogie hanging from the corner of his mouth. He shakes his head as he stares at the men following Bubbles around like dogs in heat. Then he grins.

I do have quite a crew.

After making sure that all of the men are preoccupied with the images on the screen. Soul slides backwards to the far wall and hits a concealed button. A panel slides away and Soul steps into a hidden coridoor. The panel shuts behind him. He makes his way along until he finds the room where the girls are and emerges from behind another hidden panel.

"I believe my bunk would be the more appropriate one," he says to the embracing girls. Serenity looks over at him and he winks at her, nodding at Blossom. She winks back, out of sight from what the other men can see. Soul makes his way over to the the woman and joins in their embrace. As a final thought, he looks over in the direction of Blossom as if he was speaking to her instead of to the men on the other side.

"What can I say? Captain's perogative."
