*Enters from Infirmary*
Walking up the steps to the bridge he made his way right to hit seat and started to check the screens. Pressing a few buttons he stared intently and smiled, nodding his head when he realized they hadn't drifted to far. He put them back to where they needed to be before leaning back in his chair and heaving a sigh. One minute you were snuggling with your wife and the next thing a bounty hunter was loose and causing trouble. He wanted to sleep but who could sleep at a time like this?

After making sure everything was on course, Wash stood up from his chair and stretched. Looking down at his dino friends he smirked, "Night guys, tomorrow's another day." before he walked out and down towards the Kitchen.

Mal
**Enters from Inara's Shuttle**
Making his last stop Mal entered the bridge.
"Wash I was..."
What he was, was alone... almost. Staring up at him from their usual positions above the console where the prehistoric members of the crew. Locked in a never ending struggle that mirrored what Mal felt creeping back into his own mind once again. He dropped himself into the co-pilots seat and stared off into the stars.
"Carry on"

Mal
The Captain deciding he'd spent far too much time with his thoughts for one evening lifted himself from his chair and crossed to Wash's station. With a quick check to make sure the course was true and the autopilot engaged, he took one last stock of his surroundings. The distant hum of the engine, the steady glow from the instruments, the unbroken field of stars. Everything was satisfactory. Mal allowed himself a slight smile as he placed his hand on the console. He then turned to the hatch heading aft.

Mal
**Enters from the Kitchen and Lounge Area**
Mal walked in and threw himself down in the copilot's chair. His usual perch when he found himself in here with nothing in particular to do. He was hiding. Most of the time he would go bother Inara but now... He let out a long sigh and rocked back as far as he could in the seat to just relax.

Mal
Sometime later Mal snapped out of the black and back to the moment. Wash entered the room and took his customary seat under the watchful eye of his little plastic friends. "Wash we're on course just bring her in while I go attend to the hold. Gotta make sure Monty's got room for our nice little payday". He hoisted himself up and set a brisk pace through the hatchway.

Message from Cavanaugh on the Cobblestone Road II
The wave generator crackled to life. The message was short, the voice vaguely familiar. Even if there was someone listening, the machine faithful recorded the message and set a light flashing so that when any of the crew arrived they would know that some one, some where was trying to talk to them.
"Serenity, this is Cobblestone Road II. Do you copy? Tell me somebody has their ears on."

*Zoe enters from the Cargo Bay*
Zoe immediately went to the console, using the comm station to send a wave to the haywire shuttle.
"Wash? What's your status?" It was Zoe's all business tone. While some part of her was worried about her husband, the larger part, the soldier in her, had absolutely no problem compartmentalizing when needed. After a few minutes of dead air, she tried again. "Wash? You get that thing under control yet?"
Still nothing. Zoe sat in the pilot's seat, scanning the horizon for any sign of the shuttle but the sky remained clear. After a few more minutes, her personal comm crackled to life. "Zoe meet me on the bridge."
"Yessir." Zoe replied, trying one more time to hail the shuttle before the captain walked onto the bridge. "No answer from Wash. Must still be trying to get that ri shao gou shi bing to respond."

**Mal enters from Spare Passenger Dorm**
Zoe sat in the pilots seat giving him the short and sweet. The Captains mouth remained open but no words came out as he looked back down the corridor before returning his gaze to his second the confusion aparent. "How did you..." Reynolds just shrugged and threw himself into the copilots chair.
He clicked on the shipboard intercom. "Everyone take a seat, we are going to pick up our own and make the rally." Off it went just as quick as Mal took hold of the controls as Serenity began to lift off from the landing pad. "We're going to pick up your husband."

**Jayne enters from Spare Passenger Dorm**
With a satisfied smile Jayne appeared not long after Malcolm, rubbing his hands, as he would have done a really hard job, plus they were a little bloody from the surgery. "What's doing?", he said, after Malcolm ended up his commands. It was no real question of course, just his usual way to catch the other's attention.

"We're getting out of here. Everyone who's coming aboard, get aboard." the captain barked into the intercom. He gave it a moment before closing the cargo bay doors.
Pulling back on the controls Reynolds got Serenity airborne. "Zoe give me a heading on that shuttle. Jayne stay handy in case Wash isn't alone."

Mal
Wash... So he was conscious at least. The captain punched the controls to open the channel. "Wash give me some good news. Did you get control of that thing?" Mal turned to Zoe as he continued his commentary at her. "He better because if your husband is expecting me to make some kind of aerial snatch and grab... I usually have him on the bridge for things like that!"
Activating the comm one more time he added, "I hope so for all our sakes because if not, this is going to get interesting." With that Reynolds started his approach on their wayward pilot, Serenity would be able to overtake the shuttle with little difficulty.

Mal
"Well that would just about make my day Wash, in ten minutes we'll be right on top of you! Don't know what you're expecting me to do for you if that's not the case besides..." The captain clicked off the comm before finishing his sentence. "...explode." Turning to see Zoe just staring at him with that lovable lack of emotion. He put a defensive expression on his face. "What? Zoe this thing isn't designed to snatch a fast moving object right out of the air in some kind of... fancy... maneuver..." He gave up. Looking back out the view port he focused on the task at hand.
Zoe
Taking an ever so slight amusement out of the Captain's discomfort she let the silence ride a moment longer before turning her gaze out the front window. "Nobody's accusing you of any kind of fancy flying sir." She knew her husband would get it together, it was a matter of timing however. As those minutes ticked past she just kept waiting for the comm to come to life with some good news.

Mal "Zoe unless you want to grab a seat, take Jayne and get ready to see to your husband. He may need some assistance." Serenity could be on auto right now but someone would need to take the helm anyway when they caught up to Wash. The captain would much rather be doing anything else but he wasn't going to be fool enough an' get between his first and what she wanted. **Zoe and Jayne exit to Cargo Bay**
"Tell our passengers to..." She was already gone by that point and Mal found himself talking to himself as he often did. "...strap in." No skin off his nose, nobody talked back when that happened. He liked it. Reynolds allowed a very self serving smirk to spread across his face as he rocked the ship a little bit from side to side for old times sake. It'd make them happier to see their pilot when he got back and make sure this wouldn't happen again!

Malcolm
He didn't notice the passing of time but it couldn't have been long before they overtook the small shuttle. With it in range the captain matched speed and put Serenity on auto pilot as he turned to the console beside him. As a side note he opened a com channel to Wash again. "Are you awake over there? I ain't paying you for any sightseeing." He engaged a docking subroutine to get that shuttle back on board. Once the mama bird had her baby on board Mal set the ship down in a nice quiet, out of the way spot.
Reynolds let out a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair a moment. It was time they all had a pow wow in the galley. Switching on ship board coms for a second he let out a few commands, "Jayne, take the doc and meet that shuttle. If Wash isn't too needy get him up to the galley. The rest of you just sit tight. Family meeting in 10." Mal figured he'd give Simon and Jayne time to bond, he thought with a smile. Standing up there was something he needed to do before checking in with the crew.

-Enters From Lounge-
Richard stepped into the Serenity's small bridge, on Mal's heels. With Wash and Zoe already there, it didn't leave a whole lot of room. "What can I do for you, Mal?" he asked. At the moment there wasn't a lot he could refuse, if the Serenity's captain asked. He owed them a debt for allowing Wendy aboard.Anything that happened with Wendy after that was out of his hands and no longer his concern.
They might tell him the outcome out of courtesy but he certainly wasn't owed that.

***Inara enters from Kitchen, Dining, and Lounge Area***
Everyone was already gathered as they'd had a head start and she'd had to take it slow and steady. She walked onto the bridge and casually leaned against one of the chairs as if she was exactly where she was meant to be. In actuality, the casual gesture was to help keep herself steady. Companions did not tend to "casually lean" against anything as it went against proper ladylike posture but she figured it would most likely go unnoticed. She did not want anyone fussing over her or insisting she go rest off the rest of the sedative.
Inara looked at Mal expectantly, waiting for him to proceed.

**Jayne enters from Kitchen, Dining and Lounge Area**
Following the Captain, Wash and Zoe, Jayne arrived at the Bridge, the other Captain next to him. "What can I do for you, Mal?", the man suddenly spoke up in Mal's direction. Only a short time later Inara entered either, casually leaning against one of the chairs, waiting with an expectant look on her face. Jayne turned around to Mal again. So now everyone seemed to wait for him to speak up.

CAVANAUGH
Cav had spend six months acting as personal pilot for a Companion. He'd learned a lot about how Companions acted and Inara's choice of leaning against the pilot's seat didn't seem in character. He looked at her and raised his eyebrows slightly. A year ago he would have asked outright. After so much time with a Companion he'd learned how good they were at picking up subtle social cues. She would know that he knew something was up and if she needed help she'd let him know.

Mal
Wash started flipping a few switches overhead but the captain was focused on the disk in his hand. He put it on the console and it locked itself into place as the display began to read the media. The material that half the crew seemed interested in. It was crowded on the bridge despite though he shouldn't be surprises, he had called them in behind him. Except for the companion who had not surprisingly come of her own accord. Reynolds wondered who else was going to show up.
Mal made eye contact with Inara and he took a step towards her as he heard Cavanaugh speak up, "What can I do for you, Mal?" Turning his head to the side he replied, "You all had a hand in that scrap back there." This might come as a shock to some but he did acknowledge the help his crew had received. "If this is all tied in then everyone has the right to know the extent of what we're up against."
Hoping their attention was on the screen he took a moment to close the distance with Inara then. Mal lowered his voice, "Inara, are you sure you want to see this? No one in their right mind would target a companion, likely this is just about us brigands." He did not take this opportunity to poke 'fun' at her profession. He noticed then that she had shifted her weight to support herself better.
The captain instinctively reached out to grab her by the waist but stopped short as he heard several curses break the silence, he wasn't sure from who. As he turned to face the screen he let one loose himself as he saw a face he was not hoping to see any time soon. Adelai Niska grinned at him from the monitor.

Somebody had targeted Inara? Cav's jaw clenched. Who was this walking corpse? He didn't recognize the face on the monitor but the Serenity crew certainly did. It didn't matter. He already knew that he was willing to kill for Inara.
Now he had a target.

So much for going unnoticed. Cavanaugh and Mal had both quickly picked up on her posture. She sent Cavanaugh a nod of reassurance and appreciation that he kept his ground rather than treat her like a damsel in distress. She knew all she had to do was ask and he would help.
Mal's noticing irked her for some reason. Perhaps because she always felt the need to prove she was just as capable as the rest of the crew. As he approached, her hackles raised, ready for one of his usual snide comments regarding her chosen profession. Instead, his expression softened and he spoke quietly.
"Inara, are you sure you want to see this? No one in their right mind would target a companion, likely this is just about us brigands."
These rare moments of change in his usual gruff demeanor always set her off balance. It took her a few seconds to reply. "Isn't that our usual type?" she answered quietly, trying to add a little levity to their situation. "He knew exactly who I was," she replied, turning serious. It had scared her that the man did not flinch when she had told him who she was. She had been the intended target. Whoever had sent him had no regard for incurring the wrath of the Alliance. The person had an enormous ego or was completely insane. The curses of the crew brought her attention to the screen. Or both, she mentally added when Niska's face smiled back at them. She paled. "Oh goushi."

*Niska Recording*
"Malcolm Reynolds, I hope this finds you good and worried. By now you know you seem to be missing crew, yes? Your companion no less! I assure you, you will not be getting any pieces like I do to you. We need her here.
She will make a good companion for my men now. And she will know far worse than you can imagine. There will be no bargain now or when I come for the rest, captain. This is not business but pleasure. I will save you for last. Then I will have my reputation put to the test. As will you. One final meeting, Mr. Reynolds."

CAVANUAGH
Richard looked at Inara. There was so much he wanted to say to her. Relief that she was safe. Outrage that she had been attacked. Cold fury that this idiot had intended to turn her over to his men as a sex toy. Richard didn't hate many men. It cost too much energy to hate. This man Richard hated and he was going to pay.
"Mal, I've got a source for a weapons load out back where the Cobblestone Road is docked. Tell me where to find this douche canoe and he'll find out that you have friends he doesn't know about. I'll help arrange that meeting he's so smug about but I can guarantee it won't go down the way he thinks it will."

Inara watched the recording, her expression stony with a hint of anger. She felt fear and it angered her. How dare he? How dare he threaten to take a companion and think he could get away with it? How dare he hurt Kaylee in the process and try to use her to hurt and manipulate the crew.
She felt her composure slipping and she would not let that happen. Not here in front of all these people. As everyone was still distracted and with Richard beginning to discuss possible plans, Inara quietly slipped out.
