Firefly: Revisited

Firefly: Revisited

0 INK

Following the Adventures of the Firefly class ship called 'Midnight' and her crew.

2,717 readers have visited Firefly: Revisited since Jenna Patterson created it.

Introduction

"Earth-that-was could no longer sustain our numbers, we were so many."

From there we immigrated across the Verse finding ourselves new homes with the hopes of recreated what we had. Most of the inner planets, the planets that did not need terra-forming became the Central Planets. There the population boomed, as did the technology, money and the Alliance.

Further out the planets and moons needed terra-forming, this took time, and sometimes it didn't take. Many of the outer planets on the fringe of the Verse are simple production planets: Food, wares, ceramics, doing what they can to keep themselves fed.

The Alliance patrols the Verse but like all well guarded things there are always cracks. That is where we come in. Midnight and her crew wander the star filled skies in search of work. Some good, the rest questionable, there is little left in the Verse that the Alliance doesn't already have it's hands on.

Ranthol takes a good look at Jack and speaks firmly in a measured tone, trying not to push his luck too much. "Well if there's a damn good reason why we stay away, isn't that enough of a reason to go there?" He pauses hoping to see some strange looks. "If the ship's in trouble then aren't we the one's to go help save her? I mean I got to prove my loyalty some how, and I think scarin' a few tough, strong, and courageous Alliance folk would be real funny." Ranthol smiles a bit, the sarcasm clearly showing in his voice. "Side's if we spend the night at the bar we'll just keep arguin' about the mine in there."

"Now I agree the streets ain't the most convenient places to be so either way we best be getting moving. In one direction or another. I really don't like sleepin' in the gutters, and I've had to do it a lot in my travelings, so a bed in a firefly seems like heaven to me." Ranthol says. He tries to keep his eyes on Jack, awaiting an answer. His posture is a little different now. He seems to have become a little bit more comfortable with the crew.

At that point, the small green light on Jack's communicator would start blinking, once every 30 seconds, so as to seem benign to any outside observers. He slowed the truck and honked once to catch Reap's attention, then stared at the comm again, wanting to confirm the green bleep he was pretty sure he'd seen. He was just about to set it back down when it blinked again. Why did 30 seconds seem so damned long when you were waiting for it? He looked at Kes and Ranth, then sighed. "Apparently Momma changed her mind as well. We're headed home." He leaned out the window and circled his finger in the air. "Going home, Reap!" he shouted over the whine of the hover cycle. Picking up speed once again, he took the next right, then weaved his way slowly back towards the Alliance base.

Not only did his path give him a chance to see if they were being followed, but it gave him a chance to speak. "Ranth, you're new. I'll forgive you this time, especially because I appreciate what it is you want to do." He glanced in the rear view mirror, squinting at a vehicle briefly before it turned away. He turned back to the conversation. "Anne n' I've been working together for a few years now. I understand when something is a suggestion, and something is an order. There's a right chance that the Alliance would be looking for us, and we ain't doin' the ship no good bein' locked up and forgot about." He glanced in his side view mirror, squinting again, but trying not to move his head. He was pretty sure they were being followed, but...the vehicle didn't look the same. Just the occupants.

Lifting his hand, he wiped his mouth, a not uncommon gesture for him. While his hand was hiding his mouth, he muttered to Kes that he thought they were being followed. He hoped the man would be able to confirm or deny it. Dropping his hand, he turned right a second time, heading away from the Alliance base. He had to be sure, and he couldn't head straight into the jaws of a waiting trap. "Besides, Mister Ranth, the Captain and I have some code phrases, and that wasn't one of 'em. She was free from eavesdroppers when she sent it." The green light flashed again, catching his peripherals, and his foot lowered on the ion pedal a bit more.

"You're right," said Kes, in his soft lilt. "Hopefully just a routine tail, though, look you. Maybe something a bit more to worry about." He itched to turn back, or move across to look in the rearview mirror, but all that would do was to alert the vehicle following that it was being discussed. And, really, there was no need. He'd already registered the vehicle, a minute or so before. It was not an official Alliance vehicle - he knew them well, with their distinctive Mandarin and English amrkings - but he wasn't fooled. "If you pull a right here, it leads down into the old quarter of the city. Lots of twisty little streets and alleys. If we can't lose 'em there, we can't do it anywhere, boyo."

He pulled a small flask from an inner pocket, took a sip, then handed it back to Ranth. "Let's all look casual, eh?" he mouthed to Jack. "Just a few sailors out on the town, look you. No point 'em knowing we've seen."

Anne was mid way through prepping the ship for departure when she heard Kaelii's voice over the com. She'd sigh in relief and flick the channel open to the medical bay. "We're heading out just as soon as the boys get home. Check up on Oli, be sure he's strapped in too, and I'm glad to hear you're alright." She hadn't the chance to check on Kaelii after the incident, but she doubted that the Alliance Medics would hurt her further than the trigger happy soldier already had, besides, Anne had been given a dead-line to get her boat off of this rock otherwise it would be impounded and all of them arrested. She was about to shut down the channel and resume her checks, but suddenly remembered. "Oh, Kay. When you get the chance send up your reports about that plague, sickness thing I asked you about earlier, thanks." She'd flick off the com and return to her checks. Everything seemed to be in order, though she'd wanted to spend some time fixing some of the other control panels in the control room, just something she'd have to work on first.

She'd bring up Kes's two flight plans, once more evaluating each of them, and she'd selected the second, programing it into Midnight's auto-pilot sequences. They'd at least go and check out the two abandoned ships to see if they'd been ransaked as of yet. Anne had a talent of recieveing information before many others did. Lots of connections all over the 'Verse, and a great many people that owed her a favor or two.

She'd glance over the montiors that had video of the open bay doors and part of the docks outside. Where the hell was Jack and the boys? They should have been back by now, hopefully they hadn't run in to any more trouble, as that Christien had led her to believe they would see another Alliance face until their timer was up.

Kaelii glanced over her shoulder at Oli, "You had some. It only works so well. You're going to have a hell of an ache after it wears off."
She raised an eyebrow at his second remark and smiled- a rarity. "Sorry, I just couldn't keep myself out of trouble long enough for you to be out of here."

Turning back to the com as she heard Anne talking over it, her smile faded some as she listened. "Got it. Oli's awake, if you were wondering." she ignored Anne's comment about her well being, instead waiting for the channel to either close or for Anne to say more.
"I'll bring them up in a minute." she heard the line close and turned around clumsily with the crutches.
"Never was good at using these things." Kaelii sighed, going over to Oliver and pulling a belt over him and letting it loosely secure him. She didn't want him uncomfortable, but she didn't enjoy the thought of Anne murdering her if he slid about and got hurt worse.
"I'll be right back." Kaelii called back to Oli as she retreated out the door, moving clumsily on the unfamiliar crutches.

Several ladders and squeaks of pain later she had made it up to the control room and was hovering just inside the doorway.

"Would you like me to tell you about your lovely little plague ship now or later?" Kaelii asked Anne, patiently waiting for a response.

Anne was done the routine checks by the time she heard Kaelii struggling her way up the ladders and stairwells. That girl was determined, and it made Anne smile some, but not for long. Her medic appeared in the door way and she'd nod towards the empty seat beside the dead console, "Let's hear it. It seems we have some time on our hands." Anne was turning to the monitors and bringing up everything she had on the ship Damsel that had called out in distress for medical aid and was ignored by all passers-by. Anne needed to know what sort of illness was on that ship and if it was even worth investigating, not to mention, what were the odds someone, anyone was still alive on that boat?

Anne was quickly re-reading what information she had on the ship. "Settlers, small crew, families." It would be a tough haul even if there hadn't been a plague and just a simple mis-hap that killed the entire ship, she hated seeing dead children, it creeped her out. She was turning her attention back to Kaelii, "There's alot of money floating out there if we can get on board, what do you think?"

Ranthol leans back in his seat with a short sigh. "Well we better be gettin' there soon. I'm getting a little ansy being planet side for so long." A small smile slips across his face. "Side's don't want the alliance makin' Anne change her mind an sendin' us off to the nearest prison." He glances out the back windshield after Kes started speaking. He was about to say something when he was being handed a bottle. Ranthol's hand rises up as he gently pushes the bottle away from his face. "Not now, thanks." is all he says despite the clear temptation. Normally he would have taken it without hesitating, but something was just off with Kes in his mind.

Not visibly paying Kes much more attention he looks to Jack "Just how long have you two been workin together? Anne and you." He shifts again. Pushing himself up on his seat. Almost without thinking he arranges his rifle so its easier to reach, but harder to view from the outside. As he moves the ring around his neck shows. A glitter of gold appears before he tucks it away under his shirt quickly. He frowns without much reason.

Kes' past history meant that he always edged on the wary side. Others might have called it paranoia, but, as he'd reply in his deep Welsh lilt "If everyone really is against you, how can it be paranoia, look you?"

So he'd been keeping an eye on Ranthol ever since they'd set out, sensing the man's hostility. It wasn't fear as such - his customized skeleton could stand up to anything that could be thrown at it short of a neutron blaster - more a sense that it would be shaming to be caught by surprise. Sooner or later, he'd have to bring it out in the open, and ask just why Ranthol had taken such a dislike to him. For now, he'd watch and wait.

And when he saw the ring around Ranthol's neck - and the efforts he made to hide it - he managed to control his start. His eyebrows didn't lift so much as a micron. But now his mind was churning frantically.

Re: [OOC] Firefly: Revisited

Do it! I'll for sure join. Just re-re-rewatched the series for the millionth time.

Re: [OOC] Firefly: Revisited

Want to re-remake it, Quantum? xD

Re: [OOC] Firefly: Revisited

Dead again? I was interested in the other one but it never moved and then I had a period where I wasn't here. And I just recently refound the "View Your Posts" button. :D

Re: [OOC] Firefly: Revisited

Remake of the remake of the remake?

Re: [OOC] Firefly: Revisited

Well, wot I fink is this - someone's gotta post and move the story along pretty soon, or this one's gonna die.

Re: [OOC] Firefly: Revisited

I too have been out for a while...was buying house, moving, dealt with the hurricane, which gave me a lot of water damage, and so I'm dealing with all of that...maybe my guy should be next on Kaelii's table until I can figure out what I'm gonna do...

Re: [OOC] Firefly: Revisited

Hey all,

Sorry I haven't been able to post, life has been a little crazy. I read a little bit on the posts and the ooc. I dont mind and encourage the co-GMing or round robin style to whom ever wants to take the reins.

I will post tomorrow afternoon and re-establish what our current plot is for those that may have forgotten.

Jenna

Re: [OOC] Firefly: Revisited

Hey guys sorry about not watching the RP i just started college and im trying to get settled in. But just you yall know i am still here and i am still willing to post when i can.

Keep it up!

Re: [OOC] Firefly: Revisited

Yeah, I agree with Trivel, if the GM thinks it's a good idea. As well as adding a new dimension to the game (and giving the poor GM a break!) it will also give us newer members a bit of practice for the days when we might run games ourselves. Anyway, things seem pretty well on track now...

Re: [OOC] Firefly: Revisited

I can agree with that. All the ideas are nice, but they sort of detract from the main story. I recently ran a Serenity RPG campaign so I have a bunch of adventure ideas lined up. Maybe we could have a switch off of GMing occasionally so there's surprise for everyone without it taking away from the main idea of the plot? For insistence, one job we have one person control the NPC's that speak to the PC's and the next job someone else controls the NPC's. It would make things run smoother, and have less distractions. Just a thought I decided to throw out there. Anyways, its been going pretty well! I can't wait to see where else we can go.

Re: [OOC] Firefly: Revisited

I was hoping for some action, but since this is a plot with all players introducing ideas, it turned out that that plot idea ended. So let's get off this rock and be a real FireFly crew.

On that note, Jenna, I think it's awesome that you want us to have some say in driving the plot forward, but perhaps you should, to help it move in a more linear direction, give it some bare bones for us to flesh out. Just a thought.

Re: [OOC] Firefly: Revisited

Sorry about being away for such a long time. I thought I put up a post a few weeks ago, but I don't think it went through. Anyways, I should be posting more regularly now.

Re: [OOC] Firefly: Revisited

Well, seems I've had the honor of putting up post #100 - we've done pretty well so far.

I confess, however, I'm really still not sure about why the bulk of the male characters are acting as they are, plot-wise. Like Kes, I'm going along for the ride, Hopefully, someone's got something in mind...

Re: [OOC] Firefly: Revisited

In our cycle its Kes's turn to post. :p

Re: [OOC] Firefly: Revisited

I can only post at home now, and I'm not at home on the computer a lot since the wife remembered she had Sims 3...

Re: [OOC] Firefly: Revisited

Hey all,

I just got a message from Alan asking about what was happening with the plot. (See above post.) I had posted an automated recall from all those off of the ship (i.e. Reap, Jack and Kes) to receive immediately.

As I said before, if you have plot suggestions or an idea as to where we could take this, leave a message here or you can send me a private message. I don't want this become a restricted play, I don't like those types of RP and it wouldn't be any fun for myself either.


Also, starting tonight I'm on vacation so I won't be around daily to respond to posts immediately but I will be around!

Thanks!
Jenna

Re: [OOC] Firefly: Revisited

I'm getting a bit confused where this is going - is there a good plot reason why us guys are all out on the town? If so, I'm all for it - if not, should not there be a reason to get us back to the ship to move the story along?

Re: [OOC] Firefly: Revisited

No worries. We've left you in a place where you'd just "wake up" and return to posting.

Re: [OOC] Firefly: Revisited

hey guys! (and girls!)

sorry i havnt been trying to post. granted there doesnt seem to be many chances to do so yet but i am now keeping up with the RP and will post soon...ish.

I think this RP has soooooo much potential! C'MON! LETS DO THIS!

Re: [OOC] Firefly: Revisited

Thought I'd establish some more action. xD
