Daniel sends a wave

[walk_ins]

Daniel is nearing Whittier, maybe 5 hours out, when he sends the wave to Serenity. He isn't sure how far they are, or if the ship's outdated comm system will send the message right, but he has to try

On Serenity, the message comes in.

Well, a message comes in, garbled and choked with static.

"--colm Reynolds--have questions that--weapons--keep tracking you--browncoat, I'll expect--me again soon."

Ah, says the look Zoe and Wash exchange when it plays on the bridge, this could be bad.

Zoe leans over, thumbing the internal comms. "Cap'n? We just got a wave I think you should hear."

" -- should hear."

A button is pounded in Inara's shuttle: "Two seconds."

In something slightly longer than the offered time limit, Mal appears in the entrance to the bridge. "Weren't anything to be bounced back to the shuttle." More of a question than it sounds.

"Figured maybe you should hear it before the whole boat does," Zoe says, and looks to Wash, who replays the garbled message.

Mal's eyebrows furrow at "--colm Reynolds--"

And do not let up with "--have questions that--weapons--keep tracking you--browncoat--I'll expect--me again soon."

"We get any sort of a trace on that, location, anything?" Mal asks. Wash gestures to the screen to his right, placing the origin of the call just outside of Whittier atmo. "Probably why it's so trashed, transmitted through the cloud-haze."

To Zoe: "They never do call to make nice, do they?"
