RP2 - Last Time on Firefly... by Astriana

OOC

Did we ever decide on a title?

I think the contenders were

Badger's Betrayel

Gunrunning

Remembrances of Shan YU

Any votes?

NISKA's TURN

[Niska and co. FINALLY reach the ship. Fortunately, Early's earlier sabotage included disabling the hatch locks. Niska and co. open the hatch and enter the ship.]

Book hears Inara and stands up alarmed.

Book to Mal as they both head towards the weapons locker.

"Wash should be waking up any time."

Book grabs a gun and ammo out of a storage locker, and exits the bridge behind the captain, at a run.

Early's turn

Early wishes he was working on his own, he's not used to following orders and working with a team. Still, the old man saved his life, he reminds himself.

Early moves to the front of the line and taps Niska on the shoulder. "Niska, I'll circle around the back way, I want to secure the shuttles. I'll meet you and the men in the cargo bay once the ship is secured. Good luck."

Without looking back at Niska, Early slips into the shadows and heads towards Inara's shuttle. A huge weight lifts off his shoulders as he separates from Niska and his henchmen.

Just as he approaches the shuttle, he hears the voices of Mal and the fake preacher. They voices are growing louder. Early knows he can handle the captain in a fight, but he is not so sure about the man pretending to be a shepherd.

Helps Kaylee get started on repairs, then hears the commotion in the Cargo Bay.

To Kaylee: "You stay here and keep working. I'll check it out."

Creeps quietly through the ship, gun positioned against her shoulder, keeping an eye out for intruders. As she nears the entrance of the Cargo Bay, she slows and checks the positioning of Niska's men. Seeing a clean shot from her cover, she opens fire, taking out those in her sights.

NISKA's TURN

[NISKA ducks down as ZOE kills three of his henchmen. He signals his own spaceship, which sends a volley, grazing SERENITY's hull. Those not expecting it are thrown, as the ship lurches and NISKA leaps into action, rushing down the corridor and ducking into the infirmary- locking it behind him. Safe for the moment NISKA struggles to catch his breath (he hasn't done this type of thing in many years). It is then that he realizes that he is not alone.]

Book winces in pain as his gun flies from his hand, but he reacts smoothly. Reaching behind his back, he pulls one of the unused syringes from his belt, and throws it through the air at Early.

Book watches in satisfaction as the needle penetrates a crack in Early's shoulder armor, and the speed of the thrust forces the liquid into his body.

Early's turn

In a rage, Early swiftly punches Book unconscious. But he feels dizzy. "It must be Clover Potion, I recognize the smell. Damn! I knew I should have gotten the crack in my armor fixed!" he says.

Inara tries to run away. "Hold it right there, Ambasasador." Early says. Inara stops.

With his last few breaths, Early ties up Inara and gags her. Panting with exhaustion, he pulls a medical kit from his utility belt and injects himself with the antidote. Then he lasps into uncosciousness.

Jayne's turn:

Jayne heads from engineering at top speed, cocking Vera and thinking to himself that just because your paranoid, that dosn't mean people arent actually out to get you.

Jayne gets to the walkway above the cargo bay, take a quick look around to get the enemy positioning, and takes two quick bursts shots with Vera. The powerful rounds rain down onto Niksa's men taking one through the throat, passing through to stike the man behind him in the abdomen, both fly back and crumple in a heap. Several rounds ricochet around the hold while more rounds find their deadly journey's end in Niksa's men. At the end of the short exchange 8 of the intruders lie dead or dying on the cargo floor between Mal and his shots.

"Cap'n, get outta there now!"
"Ain't nothin' gonna be alive down there on Vera's next pass, and I don't want ya dyin' from a bouncer."

Inara's breath comes heavy and labored as she struggles to get to her feet. Bound hand and foot, and gagged to boot, things do not look promising.

She glances down at the unconcious Early.

Hopping directly onto the man's crotch as she goes by, she works her way to the shuttle's door, where she finds Shepherd Book unconcious as well.

Taking a VERY deep breath, and putting her chin up, she takes a tentative hop out onto the walkway outside her shuttle door.

..WASH'S MOVE

Having been climbing through the bowels of Serenity from the bridge, just as Niska is about to bring the scalpel down on Simon, Wash falls on top of Niska from above and crushes him to the floor.

Fortunately, (or unfortunately depending on who you actually are) when Wash jumped Niska, the scalpel sliced Wash's forearm instead of Simon. However, compared to what happened to Wash the last time he saw Niska, he just winces at the pain while he grapples with Niska, attempting to remove the scalpel from Niska with one hand and repeatedly punching him in the face with the other.

"NOW. HOW'S. THAT. FOR. PAY. BACK. YOU. HWOON DAHN!"

..END MOVE

To Wash: "Think he might've had enough, dear. Now why don't you let the captain have his say, too? I think he might have a few words for our friend here."

OOC: Okay I'll go to bed in a minute.

..WASH'S MOVE

Wash is a mess. First, all his clothes are on inside out. Second, his clothes are torn and worn and look like they're hanging on to him by a thread. Third, he's got cobwebs and dust and grease in his hair and he's scraped himself in a couple places along his torso so he's bleeding a bit, mostly mild skin abrasions. Oh. And the slash on his left forearm. Again it appears to be a flesh wound - no tendons or anything important. Parts of him look like he might have first or second degree burns, from the less kind places within the walls of Serenity. Part of his hair is matted down with grime and gook, and part of it is shooting straight up. He's bleeding and he's tired.

In reaction to his wife's more sensible tone, Wash stands up from the unconscious body of Niska, and then looks about the room, blood (both his and Niskas) dripping from his hands. (actually. Mostly his.)

He looks over at Simon, "Quick! Rope or something to tie him up with. Before he comes to! Then," he looks down at himself, "maybe stop me bleeding cuz that can't be good."

He looks back up to see his Zoe, "I'd hug ya and kiss ya all over but I'm a mess." He sneezes.

Then he just stands there, too tired to do anything but too exhilirated to faint again. He just breathes heavy and looks sadly at his Zoe.

"Sorry I'm such a mess. I'll go get cleaned up." He says, not moving.

Inara winces as the vibrations from her shuttle taking off--taking her home, her livelihood, with it--make her lean into the rough railing, splittin her skin even more

Come on..come on...almost got it...

she gasps as the wrist ropes fall away, pink with her blood.

She hurries to lean down and untie the ankle ropes, and remove the gag.

Inara scurries down into the hold, rummaging around in the various stacked crates for something, anything to cover herself with.

She finally comes up with a dingy towel, courtesy of Jayne's weight bench--oh by all that's holy!! What a stench--how can a woman keep her dignity in something like this?!

sighing, Inara wraps herself in Jayne's sweat towel, and trudges up to the infirmary, where she hears the voices of the crew.
