RP Act 3 "Badgers Betrayl" or "Holy crap this post is HUGE" by SerenitysSon

OOC - A tribute to my lust for Inara

Maniac dreams about Inara stretching and turning on her cot. Having her in his mind is sweet and satisfying. Sweeter than sunshine, and not so fleeting. Far away, at the edge of the rim the noise goes on. Here at the center the great wheel is motionless. At the center where there is the un-awakened sleep, I find Inara and she is still, while time roars far off, forever far off, towards the rim.

OOC: Thanks Ciara good to be back and nice to see you.

Jayne's Turn:

Jayne replies: "Alright Doc, we're headin' down now."

Jayne grabs Niska by the legs and hauls him up the ladder, making sure to bump Niska's head against every rung, then proceeds to again drag him across the deck plating bumping and banging until he tosses him into the infirmary.

Jayne pulls out a rather large and wicked looking knife and asks "Hey Doc, 'afore you go an' get that there blood sample, you want me ta' fetch ya' a skin sample?"
A large grin splays across Jayne's face...

Also... I can kill you with my brain...

"Fine mess ya done made, Sheperd. Gonna be a while 'for I can fix it. If you wanna help repair some o' the damage, could ya go down to the engine room and bring up my toolbox?"

Shakes head sadly as she surveys the damage. What a mess.

OOC: Yay! CapnRahn & SerenitysSon are back! Woo hoo!

Zoe's Move:
ZOE follows MAL off the bridge, headed toward Jayne's quarters. While they walk, ZOE keeps her voice for MAL's ears only.

"Sir, much as I hate to admit it, I don't think we should assume Jayne had anything to do with Niska gettin' on board. Early's been here twice before with us none the wiser until it was too late, and he was workin' with Niska on this one."

They hear Simon's voice over the intercom, but can't make out what he says, and just as they reach Jayne's bunk, they hear the sound of Niska's body bouncing its way down the hall as Jayne hauls Niska off to the infirmary.

"Don't much like the sound of that... Think Jayne may've taken it into his head to do sumthin about Niska after all?"

They pick up speed, following the noise to the infirmary. Jayne is brandishing his knife at Niska with an evil grin and Simon is suppressing a disgusted look at Jayne while collecting his sampling supplies.

End Move.

Inara's turn

Inara wakens from a troubled dream, her throat catching in fear. She shakes her head to clear it, and sits slowly up. Stretching, she rises to her feet, and straightens her cot.

She is pale, and her hands have begun to shake. If she doesn't get her dose soon, the convulsions will begin.

She hurries to the shuttle door, and heads off toward her own shuttle.

"maybe Kaylee has it fixed so I can get inside..."

End Inara's turn
OOC--ok I noticed that in the "Ariel" episode, Inara goes for her physical...when asked how it goes, she doesn't answer "well" or anything like that--she answers "just like last year"....I suspect the syringes have something to do with an illness she has...hope that's ok

OOC: There is no right or wrong CIARA. You're playing Inara so if you wish to solidify what the syringe was about, by all means feel free. Just remember that outside of the RP there are people who will disagree with you. In point of fact, there's not enough evidence to support a decision one way or the other. One of the many wonderful things about this series: so much is left up to audience speculation.

..WASH's MOVE

Wash patted his wife on the butt as she left, and then proceeded to situate himself at his bridge once again. Having had a rough but sizably relaxing sleep, and although sore from the day before, he was ready for anything.

After insuring everything was on target and on course and no worries, Wash noticed his eyes wandering back to the old shuttle homing beacon thingy on the far wall. It was still blinking.

Maybe I aughtta give that a once over, Wash thought to himself. Or maybe it's something with the busted shuttle that's makin' the homing beacon blink like that.

*blink*

He flicked on the intercom for the busted shuttle, where he figured Kaylee might still be.

*blink* *blink*

"Hey Kaylee? When you're done over there can ya come back up here to the bridge and give the beacon a looksee? Maybe something's broken on the shuttle causing it to blink?"

"Understood. Confirmed on the beacon. It's not blinking anymore. I'll tell the captain." Wash switches his intercom to Malcolm. "Cap we gotta problem. Somebody rigged up our homing beacon on the shuttles to double as a tracker for our ship. Kaylee stopped it from transmitting but.."

Wash sniffs the air, he looks back over at the homing beacon console across the room, a very worried look crosses his face. Kaylee can see smoke coming from the homing beacon console. Not where she pulled the wires but from a different panel.

Wash says into the intercom, "Mal! Electrical fire on bridge!" He goes for a fire extinguisher (or 24th century equivalent).

Gives MAL a significant look, then heads to the bridge with a plate made up for WASH.

ZOE steps onto the bridge just in time to hear WASH tell MAL about the beacon. She notices the smoke just as WASH does. ZOE quickly puts the plate down off to the side, and helps WASH put the fire out.

"Brought you something. Didn't think you'd be hungry enough to cook yourself." *beat* "Did I hear you say they were usin' Inara's shuttle beacon to track us?"

At WASH's nod, continues...

"Wo de ma! Wash, do you remember where you tucked that note from Early? Maybe he left us some clues as to what exactly he did to the ship when he was here."

Inara's turn

Inara turns to watch Kaylee run along the catwalk toward the bridge. She turns her gaze back to her damaged shuttle. I'm sure it's safe, Kaylee was in there earlier....

Inara enters her shuttle

Her things are in chaos. Everything is pushed against the far wall, the lights and atmo are barely functioning, she smells ozone from burnt fuses and whatever small fires started when her shuttle hit. These things are unimportant. What matters most is a small, rectangular box, covered in black patterned fabric, and a smaller box in red. "It was at my bedside..surely it survived. Kaylee's words ring in her ears "I think some of your things are off in the black, nothin' I can do 'bout that."

Her bed is wedged against the far wall, the bedside table pushed underneath from the force of impact. With her remaining strength, she pulls the bed aside. Pushing the table upright, she finds the boxes. She feels wetness on the red box as she picks it up. Inside, all the vials are shattered. It is the same with the syringe. There is nothing here to help her....she stands and exits the shuttle. Standing on the catwalk, she sees Jayne below, going over the bodies of the dead.

She smells copper, and feels warmth on her upper lip. Hastily, she wipes away the blood there.

After the smoke clears, Wash glances around for the note but then remembers, "I think Mal had it last. Actually I sorta passed out after I read it. Bad day yesterday. This one ain't turning out to be much better.."

He walks over to the beacon console and opens up a panel to check for more fires. Burning himself slightly on the hot plating, he sees more fire and douses it with preventative foam.

"I don't remember it signed by anyone, but it did start with something about early birds catching worms. So it could be this Early guy. Actually that note was inside the console under the pilot seat. It wasn't over here on the other side of the room in the beacon."

After inspecting it visually, Wash puts his hand inside the console and pulls out the culprit: the charred remains of what appears to be some kinda electronic gizmo - perhaps a surveillance device. It self-destructed when Kaylee pulled the wires.

Wash looks at the device. It's still hot so he sets it down on a flat tablespace, and blows on his hands. "Is that a bug? Were we wired for sound in here? Makes me wonder if there's other doodads like this on the ship."

Turning somberly to the back of his Bible, Book reads silently from the book of Revelation, chapter 9, verse 5:

"They were not given power to kill them,
but only to torture... And the agony they
suffered was like that of the sting of a
scorpion when it strikes a man."

He walks from his room, container and Bible in hand, and crosses the common area to the infirmary.

"There seems to be a time for all things, Doctor."

Book hands the container to Simon, who opens it. Book sees Simon's eye's widen slightly in recognition.

strong...hard....that's what I need right now

her thoughts scatter like paper in the wind...cogent thought just isn't possible.

She breathes deeply, shakes the hair from her face, and composes a wan smile for Jayne's benefit.

Goodness....these high catwalks always give me vertigo. I guess I'm more shaken up by my earlier escapades with our Mr. Early than I thought. Perhaps I need something to eat.

Inara curls her fingers into her palm, hiding the red smears on her fingertips.

Jayne, would you like to join me in the galley?

Normally, she would never be so forward with the gruff mercenary, but she's not entirely sure she can make it on her own. The feel of strong sinew beneath her fingers and the smell of Jayne clear her head a bit.

Zoe asked, "How long til we hit Hera's atmo? Our contact there'll be gettin' anxious if we're late for the pickup, Niska trouble or not."

..WASH's MOVE

He puts the fire extinguisher away after he's satisfied the electrical fire is no more. "We'll be in Alliance's longrange scanners in a couple hours, and we'll be close enough for planetfall by suppertime, provided some Alliance buttkissin' sargeant don't git a burr up his hutzedupeegoo and decide to board us. I hesitate to point out we'd've been there sooner had Mal not asked me to slow her down awhile back. Probably for the best. We had a lot to sort out the past several hours."

When Mal arrives and asks what's the fuss, Wash points at the now charred homing beacon console. "Gonna need a new one a those. Never really worked all that great anyway. We got ourselves a peeping Tom." He presents to Mal the charred remains of a surveillance device. "That pecker was the trouble. We think there might be more but we don't know where they are. Kaylee's probably workin' on that as we speak."

..END MOVE

OOC: yeah I like samurai kitten too. =) I mean she is really.

SUCCATASH

Early's move

Early is enjoying his new status as Reaver Captain. The ship is his, the Reavers all obey him. He had to fight a couple of the biggest ones, but in the end he proved victorious.

Early relaxes in his new large quarters and flips on his array of vid screens.

"Well, let's see how Serenity is doing," he says to himself. He flips a few buttons, and several different camera views appear on the screen.

Early presses a button called "Shower Cam."

"Now, this is more like it!" says Early. "I'm really glad I installed these shower cameras on Serenity. Okay, let's see what Kaylee has been up to."

Early clicks a button and Kaylee appears on the vid screen. She is naked in the shower, smiling and singing.

"I'll take some of that!" says Early. After several minutes, Early clicks a button labeled, "Inara." The vid screen changes to a pre-recorded scan of Inara, who is showering naked in her shuttle. The view is splendid, and Early pats himself on the back. "I could charge tickets to this," he says with a chuckle.

Then, Early clicks the "Zoe" button. Immediately, Zoe's naked body and strong ass appear on the vid screen. Zoe is showering alone, but suddenly Wash appears and showers with her. His white hairy ass blocks the shower cam.

"Move your ass, white boy!" Early shouts to the vid screen. "You're blocking my view!"

END TURN

MAL[Looks to port side of Bridge.]Says to Wash:"Can't we use the port-side control console for ship controls? Maybe power down this compromised station." [Points to the starboard station.]Says to Zoe:"I need to get with Kaylee on repair status. Zoe, why don't you get a wave sent out to our contact on Hara. Badger said contact's handle was "Thorne". Make sure everything is set and ready for pickup. I want this thing to go smooth and by the numbers. No more surprises, gorram it! Dong ma?"[Mal exits Bridge and heads to Engineering to find Kaylee. Stopping by the Galley for some edibles for her.]END TURN.

ooc:Will need someone to play character of "Thorne". Casting call? Little help?
