And our latest thread...
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=22017

In which-

They escape the Alliance in Londinium, only to be boarded by Alliance patrols. 13 was arrested, Ertia went in as a spy to get him out, leading to both of them being arrested.
A mysterious ship showed up to help, using flares to impede and distract Alliance ships.
Serenity came in to blast them all out, resulting in a few minor wounds amongst the crew.

13 had to be left behind to die, but fortunately he's a near indestructible robot and Wolf has recovered him and they are on their way home to Serenity.

We got no job, no prospects and half the 'verse is looking for us.
Looks like a pretty good day from where I'm standin'!

Now on with the story.

And please try respect the other writers in the thread and stay at least somewhat consistent. New plots and storylines are great, but they should try to tie comfortably into the rest of the story. We're hear just to have fun! WHEEEE!

Please keep all posts pg-pg13. If you have an adult scene you would like to have your characters involved in, send it to me, I'll post it at my site, and put the link in.

Greetings Nanite! I'll leave the explanation to Ertia.
Also, I posted another bit on the old thread, just as the new thread was created. Just copied it over here, is all I did.

The area around the station and the Britannia was a hazardous mess. Bubbling fuel, drifting radar and communications arrays, some the size of a man, others as big as a house. The mystery ship had distracted the three cruisers, but could not make an escape.

"Well, we seem to be in a bit of a pickle, don't we dear?", says the pilot. The co-pilot responds, "Won't be long before they find out Serenity didn't do all this damage. Serenity's gone, now we have to get you outta here. Let's power down first, except essentials and thrusters."

Both pilots deactivate all unnecessary systems, including weapons. "Mac, Laci, stay put, we must do some silent running. We're going try to, you might say, hitch a ride," says the pilot. Hiding under one of the station's massive support beams, the mystery ship is quite invisible.

Pilot: "Let's try to mask ourselves with one of the arrays or even a cloud of fuel."

Chunks of metal drift past at different speeds, plus one of the Alliance cruisers, not more than 500 meters away. "Oh, that was too close. Wait, look....," the pilot says. Drifting about 100 meters away, a large dish is slowly spinning out of the station's perimeter. The co-pilot says, "C'mon, honey, that's our ticket outta here." The pilot responds, "Oh, did you just call me 'honey?'", and she looks at the copilot and winks at him.

The mystery ship drops from underneath the beam, and into the path of the incoming array. "Oh my, it's not in a simple spin, it's also going end over end," she says. She turns to the co-pilot, "Give me starboard or port thrusters on my command, please."

Like doing a waltz, the ship matches the spinning and tumbling of the dish, but not without a little mistake or two. CLANG!! The dish bumps into the starboard side, but with no damage. "Oops, my mistake on that one," says the pilot.

Slowly but surely, the ship and array continue their dance thru the black, drifting ever further from the station, until a few kilometers out, the mystery ship uncouples from the dish.

Everyone dies alone.

I dunno that we had any flow to interrupt...

nanite1018! Welcome to Life Onboard Serenity, a free-flow chain story rpg where anyone can play and anyone can join! We have few rules, and basically just wing it.
There are about a dozen subplots that rear their heads at any given time, but for the most part, we just fly around the 'verse, eat pretty darn good food, ( Unless JR is cooking, which is fine if you like SPICYYYYYYYYYY), have a little romance, do some crime, and get chased by the Alliance. A lot. Rather frequently, actually, that whole chasing by the Alliance.

We keep a stock stack of spare characters floating around the ship "The crew" so that anybody can leap in at anytime.

We ask that you don't kill off canon characters, or make them behave too far outside of their normal behavior patterns. That's about it. Maybe I aughta start linking our synopsis to a character list? Hmmmm....

*Pain and Ertia laid in Pain's bed. Pain braced himself on his left arm, careful not to agitate the bullet wound on his left side, and traced Ertia's figure with his right hand. Ertia smiled and said*

That was fun.

*Pain smiled, kissed Ertia and said*

Yeah funny how we always wind up naked and in the same bed together.

*Ertia smiled pushed Pain over and said to him, her mouth mere inches away from his*

Yeah I don't know how that happens babe.

*Ertia kissed Pain as she rested her head on his chest. Pain smiled and said, wrapping an arm around her*

Me neither but I wouldn't trade it for anythin' in the verse.

*Pain felt Serenity buck and said*

Feels like we're bein' docked.

Ertia shoves to her feet and reaches for a tank top and coveralls, "I hope that's not the Alliance! I'm running out of tricks!"

Pain is already tugging on his pants and checking his weapon. (NOT THAT ONE, y'all get yer minds out of the gutter! The one with the bullets! That goes boom!) "Fortunately, ain't runnin' out of ammo, yet."

Yeah, Ertia thinks, but how long can they run. This was no way to live, leaving a trail of bodies behind them. She's already halfway up the ladder, her feet still bare. Mal rushes past her, nearly barreling into her.

But his gun is holstered, so she takes that as a good sign as she chases him down the corridor and into the cargo bay.

*Pain and Ertia made it to the cargo bay just as Fly, Guy, and everyone else did too. Pain put his hand on his pistol just as the airlock door opened and 13, 62, and a bloodied Wolf walked in. Pain took his hand off his gun, still keeping it nearby and said*

Welcome back.

"13!!!!!!!!"

Ertia flings herself across the cargo bay, throwing herself the last ten feet to 13's feet like a baseball player diving for the out of reach grounder. She wraps both arms around his pseudo-knees, "NEVER EVER EVER Do that again!"

"What? Get arrested?" He looks at her peculiarly, "Yah. I'll keep that in mind."

He tries to walk into the cargo bay, only to drag her along as she refuses to let go. "Uh, Someone wanna get this off me?"

Ertia lets go and pushes to her feet. "I.. uh...sorry. Drama moment there. But you're here!"

She turns and sees Wolf embracing Kaylee. She was going to tell him good job, nice work on getting out of there, and bringing 13 back, but the words stick in her throat when she sees the Experimental pet.

"Oh, look." She says in a dull flat voice, yanking a gun from Jayne's belt before they can stop her, "An undead monkey."

The bullet is out of the chamber before she can really think about squeezing the trigger. There's a collective gasp, a time-delayed moment in which all eyes fly to Experiment.

everyone should remember here that Ertia's capabilities with firearms are less than admirable

I'm...I'm sorry sir..I..I don't know what came over me.

*Jayne said as he picked up his gun*

Aw you done gone an' scratched my gun Ertia. Don't ya know how ta respect a man's weaponry?

*Pain walked over to Ertia, placing a hand on her back and said to Mal*

I'll make sure she stays outta trouble sir.

*Mal replied*

See that you do Pain.

"I told him, Pain. It was gonna come down to me and that animal! Bad enough we've got that ugly little beastie Dani running around the ship...where is she-it-that anyway?. But we gotta put up with semi-sapient ape-beast?" Ertia grunts and sinks to the sofa against the galley wall. "I can't believe I missed! I had it point-blank!"

"Had me point-blank once too and missed." Jayne pipes up, having followed them from the cargo bay. "You jerked the trigger. Time you DID shoot me, ya locked your wrists, didn't compensate for kickback."

He looks seriously at Pain, "Next landfall, we're takin that girl out and teachin' her to shoot."

"Aw, Jayne. Wasn't you I was aiming at!"

"That's what had me worried." The mercenary storms off to buff out the scratch on his gun. Pain starts to laugh, but sees the stormclouds brewing in Ertia's eyes.

You know as much as I hate to admit it, Jayne's right. Next time we're dirtside we'll teach you how to shoot. Or if'n you'd like I could teach you how to shoot.

*Pain smiled and continued*

'Sides I already know you're good with one weapon.

SHIPSCAT

Tuesday, July 11, 2006 12:11 AM

The grey tabby slinks into the galley, belly low to the ground and ears twitching. But when she sees that Ertia and Pain are the only ones there the little cat perks up immediately. Purring loudly she hops up onto Ertia's lap and looks at her curiously, then curls up with a contented sigh.

Tuesday, July 11, 2006 12:29 AM

"Well, hi, sweet kitty! Where you been hiding?" Ertia strokes the soft fur as Shepherd Book joins them and starts puttering in the kitchen to make food. "Yeah, Pain. You're probably right. If I'm going to live with guns, I'd best learn to use them proper."

She shakes her head slightly, "I've just always gotten by on my wits before. My laser pistol just kinda fell into my hands, and, well, it's handy. But lead bullets? Not so used to that."

Pain rubs her shoulder encouragingly, "That's all right. You'll learn."

"Reckon I will." She leans back and pets the cat, humming tiredly to herself. Book's cooking smells good and she realizes that she's actually hungry.

Tuesday, July 11, 2006 1:07 AM

(I like this 'character list' idea. I'll try to do a 13 profile, when I get the time.)

"Mal, they aren't going to stop coming. The Britannia was just the beginning." 13 pauses, staring past the fuming Mal. "In fact, between Simon, River, Ertia, and myself, you have more than your share of fugitives."

"Yeah, but there's a difference between them and you. They're generally likable folk who don't take to running off, getting blown up, or cross-dressin'."

"So why keep me here? It'll only end with everyone here stewing on a penal moon."

"The rest took a liking to you, strange as it sounds. Personally, I'd rather have off this boat. But, I'd be in trouble with the rest."

I kinda have a profile for Pain, but I'd like to see everyone elses first.

*Pain watched Ertia pet Shipscat cat. Whatever Book was cooking smelled good and Pain said*

Whatever you're cookin' Shepard sure smells good.

*Book looked back, smiled, and said*

Oh it's nothing really just some protein and a few spices here and there.

*Ertia spoke up*

Well that's ok Shepard it still smells good amd I'm sure it'll taste even better.

*Book smiled and returned to cooking, as Pain kissed Ertia's shoulder and said over Shipscat's purring*

You know I think that cat's takin' a likin' to you. Can't say the same for me though.

Tuesday, July 11, 2006 1:48 AM

The little cat looks up at Pain, her green eyes half-lidded and content. Then she yawns hugely, and lowers her head back to her paws again. The loud purring continues uninterrupted.

I don't really have much character to summerize... after all, I'm just a small grey tabby cat that shows up at random times to beg for food and/or affection! If I'm not in the galley you might find me on the bridge with Wash, in the engine room with Kaylee, or asleep on Simon's bunk

Ertia rubs the sleepy cats ears gently. "She's so nice to have around. Wish Jayne would be a bit nicer to her. Wish that stinking ape was off this ship so she felt safe again."

"All things come clear in time." Shepherd Book answers from the kitchen as Fly arrives and helps set the table.

"Clear as in I'm gonna throw it out the airlock the next time noone's paying attention." Ertia grumbles, "Isn't that right, ShipsCat. Nobody will know but us."

" 'cept you just told us." Pain says with a frown, "So anybody know where we're headed or what we're doing? We got paid, didn't we? And already had a little left over from the job with my uncle."

"But now the Alliance is after us all over again!" Ertia sighs in frustration. "Everytime I think we get clear, BAM! Can't we just do some nice honest smuggling?"

DRPAIN

Tuesday, July 11, 2006 3:41 AM

*Pain started to massage Ertia's shoulders and said*

Yeah I wouldn't mind a nice smugglin' job. Perhaps somethin' on the Rim somewhere far away from the Feds.

*Ertia moaned a little and said*

That feels good Pain.

*Pain smiled, kissed Ertia on the cheek and replied*

You looked like you needed it.

*Pain turned his attention to Fly and said to her while still massaging Ertia*

Hey Fly! What'd you do with my machine gun?

*Fly looked up, smiled and said as she finished setting the table*

It's in my bunk Pain, probably should've returned it to you.

*Pain chuckled and said*

Uh huh. You just like takin' my guns don't you?

*Fly smiled and said*

That's only because you don't share them with me.

*Pain smiled at Fly as she went to get Shipscat something to eat and drink. Pain turned his attention to Ertia and said*

I'll be back, just gotta get my machine gun.

*Pain got up, trying not to wake up Shipscat, kissed Ertia and said*

I'll be back to resume the massagin' ok bao bei?

( The original plan was to have 13 steal the Britannia itself. But then I forgot. )

"Well...have...good..eating,,and stuff. If anyone wants me, I'll be in my bunk," 13 says to the folk-in-the-galley, the galley, the galleeeeey...

"Y'ain't staying to eat?" Fly asks, returning with the machine gun.

"I just don't see the point, is all."

"Sit down, have some jalapeno cake," Book says, stepping in. "Might as well have the indestructable one try it first."

"Jalepeno cake?" Ertia looks at it dubiously. The jalepeno ice cream was one thing, but cake? "I'll pass."

She takes a scoop of Book's cooking and drops it into Shipscat's bowl before filling her own plate.

Mal enters and glances around, "Well folks, we got some good news and some bad news."

"Give us the good news. We're overdue for good news, sir." Fly says encouragingly.

"Good news is we ain't dead. Not by a long shot."

Oh. That's the good news? They glance around the table just as Pain comes to the doorway.

"Bad news is, we got a job from Warick, but I don't see any way for us to do it with the Alliance on us. I need suggestions as to how we can get clear of this once and for all."

"I can scan the cortex, Captain, but I gotta admit, after the last time getting our registry changed and all, my bag of tricks is getting close to empty." Ertia sighs and grabs the bottle of whiskey from Jayne's hand, liberally spiking her tea before handing it back to him.

"I can check with some of our old friends from the war." Zoe suggests quietly, "Maybe Sanchez, or Leo. Might have some ideas."

"Maybe we could just throw 13 outta the airlock, along with that gauzi-experiment monster." Jayne suggests, knocking back his whiskey.

"That wouldn't do." Ertia spoke up again, "The Alliance would just bust us for letting a known criminal take a spacewalk instead of turning them in."

Smiling heartedly as the 'INCOMING WAVE' signal bleeped on the screen, 13 rapped his fingers against the keyboard.

His smile dropped as the screen went black, and rose to leave as a voice, modified to a dull computer monotone, rang through the speaker.

"Relax, 13. Have to stay dark. Security."

Dropping back into his seat, 13 rubs at his forehead in exhaustion.

"Hello, Calisto."

"Back at you, 13. How're things? Still crewing with High Charity?" The voice was electronic, but her sarcastic voice somehow made its way through.

"You know where I am. This wave has sigs all over it."

He could almost hear her smile, past the blank screen.

"Yes. Serenity, if the read-out covered the numbers well. I haven't heard from you in almost three years, which leads me to believe you're in some kind of trouble. Knowing you, that's either Alliance or the underworld."

"Alliance. They finally caught up with me, when I was at Londinium. I'll give you the details when you get here."

"Oh, we're already coming, baby. Get your pilot to meet with us at the nearest fueling station."

"What're you taking?" 13 asks, hands folded. Calisto had enough people on her side, God knows.

"I'm on the Adele right now, four more practically beside me. We're all coming, kid; got the feeling you're gonna need it. Tell you what: I'll wave a few of my ships based out on the Border, raise some hell. That oughta keep the Alliance occupied enough so they aren't running at you full-bore."

"Thanks, Calisto. I owe you one."

"You'll owe me a bit more than that after this business is done with."

Sighing as he terminated the wave, 13 made his way to the galley to tell the good news.

John slowly climbed out of the crate he managed to smuggle on while Wolf 13 and 62 got back on board. He stood and looked around empty. He needed to find them fast. Funny how two of the best friends he'd ever made were on this ship. He wouldn't be suprised if River had gone kooky she was stuck in that place too long before that brother of hers could get her out. She probably wouldn't recognize him being they'd never actually met in person. But of course... his thoughts were cut off by the gun shot behind him. he turned and saw someone he never met.

"Who exactly is she?" Mal inquires, arms folded tightly.

"A friend."

"This 'friend' wouldn't be the sort that'd blow up rooms or try to kill you, would they?" Jayne says, sipping from a flask.

"Name's Calisto. Sort of a self-proclaimed 'commadore.' She has about twelve ships under her, last time I saw."

"Never heard of her." Mal's eyes are steely and doubting.

"Not surprised. Tends to run things from a distance, for various reasons. In fact, I'm more than a little surprised she'd even come meet us."

"Where she plannin' this 'meeting?"

"Nearest fuelling station. Expect Wash can get us there easy enough."

"NO! No of course not!" Choruses ring out around the room.

"John, or whoever ya are," Mal says slowly, "Everybody's got a bullet with their name on it. If I spent my whole life worried about who wants to kill me, I'd be wasting a whole lot of good living time. So, unless you got something productive to say....?"

There's a long pause as all eyes turn towards John. Kaylee looks a bit aghast at the Captain's rudeness. The rest of them just know he's right. They're in a dangerous line of work and there's someone gunning for every single one of them all the time.

"I talked to her actually she talked to me while she was in the academy. We've met before as well"
"I don't remember you"
"You wouldn't"

The Captain turned to the strange conversation "Look you appear to know quite a few people on my ship but why the hell should I not just throw you out the airlock."
"Because I can help you."
"How"
"You're out of options, your friends want you dead your bag of tricks has run thin all you have is your crew and this ship. But what if you had more options another crew member someone who could make your enemies turn a blind eye as you robbed them."

"Why should I trust you"

"Don't look at me, sis. I just came here for the protien hash." Ertia shakes her head. When did things get so wierd around here? As if it wasn't bad enough that they had a mutant experiment monkey running around torturing Shipscat, now even their friends were after them?

"Look," Ertia stands up and smacks Jayne lightly on the back of the head to get his laughing fit under control, "What good are 30 mercs gonna do us? Are we what? Waging a war now? Starting a new one?"

As all eyes turn to her, she glares around the table. "13's got friends with an armada of 12 ships! Wolf's paw-paw has 30 mercs! And we've got, what? A self-proclaimed psychic who don't even know Kaylee and Wolf only hooked up two threads back? Doesn't give me alot of faith here!"

She looks apogetically at Shepherd, "Faith is your department. I'll leave it to you." When he nods, she continues,

"30 mercs, plus our crew, and a dozen ships. Against 132,000 troops? Against 48 flagships and over 1000 Alliance gunships?" She looks pleadingly at Mal. "Captain, I love you. I love this ship. But if you want to re-enact Serenity Valley on the advice of a couple of stow-aways, then you are as insane as they are."
