Oh...that ain't good.

[she'll actually start to look worried]

Maybe...maybe we oughta just stay on the ship. It ain't like we gotta go explorin' here, right? There's gotta be all sorts of other places worth stoppin' at.

[onemanshort]

...just what're you thinkin' would happen to it, 'sides folks eatin' it all?

[gottaknockhard]

After those notes, I'm betting it'll end up at the bottom of the ocean sooner or later.

[onemanshort]

[stopping, brow furrowing as she stares at him]

We ain't lettin' that ship sink.

[she was not going to have another ship die on her when she'd only just got it.]

[gottaknockhard]

[He pauses for her, not expecting to hit a nerve there.]

That's right. [He smiles briefly, because he might be feeling a smudge guilt about being a dick to everyone he knows.] I forgot who we had on it.

[onemanshort]

[crossing her arms, though she's a little appeased by that]

Maybe she ain't the kind of ship I'd normally work on, but that don't mean I can't learn.

[gottaknockhard]

Sure. Not much else to do, is there?

[onemanshort]

Right. And I figure we've got a week at least t'be findin' things to work on.

[gottaknockhard]

Looked like it could use some sprucing up anyway.

[onemanshort]

It sure ain't the fanciest thing I've been on. I mean, Serenity was worn in spots, but she had a few tricks in her that thing ain't capable of.

...not that there's a way for me to fix that, us bein' without tools or machines at all.

[gottaknockhard]

You already checked? [Why are they forever in the past, seriously.]

[onemanshort]

I ain't had time t'look everywhere...but she sure ain't runnin' on an engine.

[gottaknockhard]

Nothing modern at all?

[onemanshort]

Not that I was seein'. Seems the castle ain't big on givin' us worlds that ain't backwards.

[gottaknockhard]

Maybe next time.

[onemanshort]

This ain't so bad, though. 'Least we got a ship.
