Few thing's in the 'verse more dangerous than moneyed folks with no common sense and a boatload of free time.

@BigDamnHeroes_ @FryeKaylee @TooPrettyToDie @CobbOfCommand @Chaotic_Fury_ @FurrowToThePlow -- I don't put any kind of limit on what the Feds will dream up in the name of science. A world full of folks made that mistake and it cost 'em more than I'm willing to give.

{Sucking a breath through his teeth, he shook his head, banishing all thoughts of how --

@BigDamnHeroes_ @FryeKaylee @TooPrettyToDie @CobbOfCommand @Chaotic_Fury_ @FurrowToThePlow -- on board. Then comes the Captain's yelling. Then the throwing of Kaylee into the hold and the jettisoning of Jayne into space, and that's too much excitement for one day.

{Exhaling, he chewed his bottom lip, mulling over #Zoe's question.} After Miranda... Truth is, --

@BigDamnHeroes_ @FryeKaylee @TooPrettyToDie @CobbOfCommand @Chaotic_Fury_ @FurrowToThePlow Don't let Kaylee hear you spinning that particular tale, wife.

{Setting their course as the sky swept from blue to black, he leaned back in his chair and into #Zoe's touch, reaching to lay his hand over hers.} {warmly} She'll be in cahoots with Jayne to smuggle one --

I'll tell you this, beautiful wife. Any poem I'm composing about that World's gonna be nothing but screaming and profanities.

@FryeKaylee @TooPrettyToDie @CobbOfCommand @Chaotic_Fury_ @BigDamnHeroes_ @FurrowToThePlow -- reached out a hand for his wife the instant he heard #Zoe's footsteps on the gangplank.}

Those dinos... They aren't the real thing. Makes me wonder what other luh suh the gorram purplebellies are trying to bring back to life.

@FryeKaylee @TooPrettyToDie @CobbOfCommand @Chaotic_Fury_ @BigDamnHeroes_ @FurrowToThePlow -- one and done, am I right?

{Eyes widening at the muffled roar from outside the ship door, he nodded, making for the ladder and the bridge at top speed.

Dropping into the pilot's seat, he waited for #Kaylee to power up the engine so they could break atmo, he --

@FryeKaylee @TooPrettyToDie @CobbOfCommand @Chaotic_Fury_ @BigDamnHeroes_ @FurrowToThePlow -- {Exhaling, more relieved than he could say that his family was home in one piece, not sailing through the belly of one of the feng le lizards in pieces, he ducked his head, holding more tightly to #Zoe than he meant to.}

I think I speak for all of us when I say --

{A wistful smile stealing across his face, he reached to affectionately sock #Kaylee in the shoulder, squeezing #Zoe to him.}

All my life, I've dreamed of seeing those beasts up close. Imagined what they'd look like. What they'd sound like. --

{weakly} Are we all here?

@BigDamnHeroes_ @TooPrettyToDie @CobbOfCommand @Chaotic_Fury_ @FryeKaylee @FurrowToThePlow -- the night air as it gave chase, he felt his stomach flip, the only coherent thought left in his mind being ready to slam the airlock door shut the /instant/ #Zoe was inside.}

Ta ma de hun dan! AHHHH!

@BigDamnHeroes_ @TooPrettyToDie @CobbOfCommand @Chaotic_Fury_ @FryeKaylee @FurrowToThePlow {Already on his feet at the sound of the proximity alarm, he ran down the corridors of #Serenity, heart in his throat.}

{Blood running cold as the herd converged on @BigDamnHeroes_ and @TooPrettyToDie's position, he set his jaw, flinching.} The bad news is you're about to have company. Good news! They will be --

[Hoban Washburne @Juggling_Geese_]

-- Well. That's... That's just... {Blinking, he grabbed for the transmit button, struggling to keep the panic in his voice down to something less than Painfully Rutting Obvious.}

{Jolting from an unintentional nap at the sound of a proximity alarm, he stared at the tracker screen and paled, swallowing hard at the sheer number of things closing in on @BigDamnHeroes_ position.

Big. /Big/ things. --
