Writer Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 "A new pilot, eh?" Amanda said, catching Zoe's thoughts. She nodded. "Hope he's good." As River turned to go to the cockpit, Amanda stopped her. "My suggestion is that you stay in the cockpit while I disable the transmitter," she said. "The Alliance won't be far behind my shuttle. We'll have to get out of here fast." River nodded and headed toward the cockpit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starmark2k Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Simon Followed his sister she headed to the cockpit, he gabbing her shoulder to stop her moving when they reached the corridore leading into it. "River, How well do you know this girl... I don't think Mal Trusts her." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 "He doesn't," River agreed. "She's curious. The Alliance lied to her. She'll watch us. Depending on what she sees, she'll help us... or kill us." With that, she broke free from his grasp and entered the cockpit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starmark2k Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 "kill us?" Simon rhetorically asked as he continued to follow river into the cockpit. "River what are you doing, you know that Mal dosn't like you to be in here on your own." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 "He told me," River said, moving to the pilot's seat and decreasing the speed. "Slow the ship. Amanda wants to shut down her transmitter." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starmark2k Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 "How's she going to do that no one un-chained her and i don't think the captain has any intention of letting her go. Especially to a shuttle where she can contact the alliance." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 "She unchained herself," River said. "She's got control and I'm to stay here until she's done. The Alliance will be close behind the shuttle. As soon as Amanda's back on Serenity, I'm getting us out of here." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starmark2k Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 "You always have been a stubborn mei((little sister in mandarin))." Simon said as he left River to pilot the ship. He began walking to the infirmary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 ((That'd be mei-mei )) River smiled. Meanwhile, back with Mal, Amanda pulled a small device from her pocket. "Nothing to worry about, Captain," she said soothingly. "This just allows me to remotely control my shuttle." She felt the ship slow and smiled. "Glad to see somebody around here trusts me at least a little." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starmark2k Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 ((Well it is a for idiots books so it could be wrong but i think it was just when joss and his crew came to the translations they did literal translations without using slang terms. I think this as someone (i forget who) calls someone a baboons ass crack with the literal translation(Feh Feh Pi Goh for those who are interested) Rather than the slang term for it. But as i said i could be wrong.)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jokemaster Posted December 31, 2005 Author Share Posted December 31, 2005 ((The lesson is implied )) Mal kept a close eye on the shuttle. Once they landed, he spoke to Jayne. "Keep an eye on her while she's in the cockpit." He gestured, the inside of the shuttle's cockpit was visible "She tries anything, yell and we'll get out of here."

Writer Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Amanda left Serenity as soon as the doors were open. Her shuttle landed nearby and she approached it. At her approach, the door slid open and she went inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Writer Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 "There won't be a reason to shoot," Amanda said, her words out of her mouth almost before Jayne had finished speaking. "This'll just take a few seconds. Then, we'll have to get back to Serenity as fast as we possibly can." She stared at Jayne for a second. "Got it?"

Writer Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Amanda smiled and went to work, still talking to Jayne. "You have an odd sense of 'boring'," she said. "You find it boring to be chased around by the Alliance? To be forced to make a living by theft?" Then, she laughed. "But I suspect you'd do it even if the Alliance didn't care what you did."
