Is it true that there's no sky here?  This is distressing.  Although, personally, I don't mind being landlocked again.  On Earth that was... that apparently is again.  Of all places.



I stand corrected.  This is what going mad must feel like.

I would have gotten here a lot sooner if I had any control over it.

Are we the only ones?

[ex_aint86]

Well, Doc, there's an entire city full of people who got sucked through just like us.

But if you're talkin about my crew then yeah, you two're the only ones so far.

[doctorish]

So I'm learning.

That's strange. You'd think they'd give you Kaylee or Inara at least. Or Serenity.

[ex_aint86]

You'd think. Still, they'll turn up soon enough and go round interrupting my peace and quiet.

[doctorish]

You have peace and quiet? Ever?

[ex_aint86]

No Reavers, Doctor Tam. No Alliance, though these government men can do a damn good imitation. No Academy. No Badger, no Operatives, no uncharted territory, no core planets, no outer ring, no jobs. My life hasn't been this quiet since I was a suckling babe.

[doctorish]

Point taken. What's the government doing.

[ex_aint86]

Mostly they try and lower the morals of good men and women to get them to procreate, sometimes they put people in prison. I've tried to keep my nose out of it, but some of the things they do make your sister frantic and I've been keepin an eye on them as best I can.

[doctorish]

What's a world without a corrupting government, I always say.


Thank you for looking after her, Mal.

[ex_aint86]

Credit where credit's due, she's got good at looking after herself.

[doctorish]

That's reassuring.

You must be so bored.

[ex_aint86]

I got a job.

In a bar.

[doctorish]

How fulfilling?

[ex_aint86]

Hm.
