"Skilful flying is the only kind I know, dear," Wash told his wife with a smirk.
"Wash, this is a plan of the alliance ship's route," Mal told him, passing across the piece of paper he'd been given by Fanty and Mingo. "We're going to fly in this direction," He drew his finger in a line across the map. "And stop here, send out a distress signal. Kaylee, we'll need you to play around in the engine room, make it look realistic, get us some smoke going or something, don't actually damage the ship,"
"I would never hurt Serenity, you know that, Captain," Kaylee smiled, running her fingers over the metal wall of the ship.
"And Doctor," Mal addressed Simon. "There may be some bloodshed one the Alliance soldiers realise what's happening. Hopefully none on our side, but be prepared anyway,"

"I know, honey, that's what makes you so sexy" she winked back at him and playfully fed him a piece of her apple.
Simon looked up at Mal "You all have been surprisingly unharmed lately," he replied "besides Jayne maybe" he glanced at Jayne who grunted annoyed and stroke over the bandage on his forearm. "but even them I'm sure I still have enough supplies to not let any of us die". He sighed. Although he would never fully get used to the dangerous situations Mal sometimes threw them in, he did notice he started to care less about them.

Wash bit the apple, and playfully bit Zoe's fingers too, with a slight growl.
"Good," Mal said to Simon. "Let's keep it that way, shall we? And I don't think our new ... passenger," Mal physically had to stop himself using the term 'companion' as to not be reminded of Inara all the time, "has to know about any of this. Not, at least, until we get to know him better,"

Simon nodded in agreement, as did the rest of the crew.
"Where is he anyway?" Wash asked, munching on his apple "We'll be taking off soon. You would expect the man to want to meet his fellow travellers. Making sure we're not psychopaths or.. Reaver worshippers or something like that?" he looked questioning from Mal to Zoe and back at Mal.

Hunter was in his shuttle. He'd unpacked his basics and was sitting at the control panel, reporting back to his superiors that he'd made contact with Serenity and was employed in position. They ordered him to sit back and take notes. Take no action. Strict orders. Hunter would rather arrest the Tam siblings right now. He was certain the Doctor was the Simon Tam he was looking for, but he hadn't seen the most important of the two yet. River Tam. But he also knew his superiors were superior for a reason. They knew best.
"Shall I invite him to have dinner with us?" Kaylee suggested cheerily, eager to get to know their new 'friend'.
"No point forcing him," Mal decided. "He might not want to be social with us. He can join us if he wants to."

"Well, whatever he decides," Wash said "I hope my wife will make sure he doesn't eat my share of the food. Because some of us.." he slowly rose from his chair and scraped his throat to signify the importance of what was coming next "..have to fly a spaceship." he added. No matter how much he would like to join them for their meal, they had to get this ship in the air and he was the one to take care of that.
"Don't worry, baby" Zoe replied with a wink "I'll see you'll get what you deserve."
Wash smirked and grabbed the map from the table. He saluted Mal and with a little skip went off in the direction of the bridge.

Hunter came out of his shuttle, and passed Wash on the bridge. He was still glancing over his shoulder at the blur of blonde that'd raced past when he entered the communal area of the ship.
"That's Wash, our pilot," Mal 'introduced', seeing Hunter's confused facial expression. "This is Jayne," He introduced the mercenary next. "And you've met Zoe, Kaylee and Simon already."
"Hey," Hunter said with a slight nod, his gaze landing on the girl clutching her head though. River. He frowned, putting on the act. "Is she ... alright?" He asked, aiming for an introduction.

"Ehm, yes. Yes she is." Simon replied, not wanting to let the stranger in on River's 'mysterious' behavior just yet. "She is just a little tired." He looked at River. "Come on, let's get you to your cabin so you can get some rest" he spoke to her in a soft and caring voice.

"Right," Hunter mumbled, watching them leave. Well, he'd made visual on the girl, he didn't need a formal introduction to prove his suspicions, he had read her file after all. He pulled out a chair and joined the rest of the crew at the table, not looking too interested in River. The rest of the crew seemed to pay her no mind.
"So Hunter," Kaylee said with a smile, resting her chin in the palm on her hand while she watched him. "Where are you from?"
"Uh," Hunter said, reaching across the table for an apple and taking a bite. "A lot of places. I'm just a bit of wanderer really, not very interesting,"
"Oh I'm sure that's not true," Kaylee smiled, giving the others a cheery smile to encourage them to ask questions as well, not just her. Jayne gave a discouraging grunt.

Zoe smiled at Kaylee's enthusiasm, but didn't really say anything. From Hunter's reaction she could already tell he wasn't really the 'sharing' type.
"Well, its nice to have someone occupy the shuttle for a while," she replied eventually, in an attempt to show some interest and make some small talk. "I hope you'll find your time on Serenity to be an adventure of a lifetime" Because an adventure it will be, she thought. It would only be a matter of days until they reached Alliance territory and that meant he would soon be exposed to the mischievous side of the Firefly's crew.
