Why this must be read: While Simon and Inara attend a party, Mal and the crew take on a new job, which goes wrong. What a shock! It would have been nicer had the fic been longer, but the plot is great, I can totally visualize it as an episode of the series - it would have been lots of fun.
"I think I should get to carry a gun. Why don't I don't get to carry a gun?" Wash asked his wife plaintively.
"Because you don't know how to shoot one, dear," Zoe reminded him patiently.
"Okay, that's not the point. The point is..."
"The point is that I hired you to fly this boat, not shoot holes in her," Mal interrupted good-naturedly. Wash opened his mouth to retaliate, but Mal talked right over him. "We've got a job, people."
There was a pause. "Well what is it?" Jayne finally asked around a mouthful of apple.
"We're being paid to shut down Thethys' main power grid," Mal said matter-of-factly.
"Oh, is that all? Just shut down the power to Persephone's biggest city?" Wash asked insincerely.
"Yes," replied Mal casually. "Anyone else?"
"Sir, perhaps you could explain why we're shutting down the main power grid," Zoe suggested helpfully.
"Oh. Right. We've been hired by another group of fine, upstanding gentlemen, who are planning on doing something all very legal and proper in the dark. I didn't feel it appropriate to inquire further."
