50) THE SERENI-TREE AND NEW BEGINNINGS

http://fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=22611


After a number of peril-less threads, it was time to get back into some good, old-fashioned peril. But we didn’t want to jump right in. We sort of wanted to ease our way into it. So, we became aware of the group of SCA members, fantasy role-players, and new age mystics who founded their own colony on the world of Zanzibar. These Zanzibarbarians have turned their backs on technology, and get by with Renaissance Faire level technology. However, in the absence of technology and horses, they have bred a local flightless bird into a fearsome riding beast for their knights. Moreover, some recent developments have these creatures breathing fire! These are essentially giant fire-breathing space chickens!

For some reason that escapes me, we have decided that we want to obtain one or more of these creatures. Jake7 then volunteered that, among her super-powers, she has the innate ability to confuse chickens! Also, LightMeDark will be useful in talking to them, if we can keep him sober enough.

We undertook a jump through hyperspace lasting a few days to reach the planet of Zanzibar.

Wisp decided to augment his body with techno-bits to grant himself superpowers. He now has gills, super-sight, and some kind of magnetic lifting power in his arms.

A group of our engineers and mechanics, including Jadehand, Wisp, Jet, and Seryn, repaired our shuttle Admiral Nelson, which had been damaged back during our last bit of peril. Meanwhile, TheRealMe crafted a small herd of robotic giant space chickens for our use once we got on the planet. Seryn took time off from repairs to make us all period costumes. After loading up with medieval level weapons, we are about ready to go!

The people that I recall having expressed an interest in going on this adventure are: Jake7, LightMeDark, Mai, Seryn, TheRealMe, ScorpionRegent, Wisp, and XanderLHarris/Ash.

From what I guess, staying behind are the Yeti, the Faeries, the Brides (including Serenity), and (presumably) Ghost, Shadow, and Doctor SimonWho.

I’m not sure about 13, Cozen, Jadehand, SoulofSernity, or anybody else who may have recently come out of cryo.

51) THE SERENI-TREE: QUEST FOR THE GIANT FIREBREATHING SPACE CHICKENS!

http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=23106


The Sereni-Tree has come to the planet Zanzibar, which was colonized long ago by SCA enthusiasts, fantasy role-players, and new age mystics in an attempt to live with only a Renaissance Faire level of technology – with magic! (Huzzah for the Zanzibarbarians!). They breeded some giant, firebreathing space chickens to use as mounts instead of horses. For some reason, the Sereni-Tree crew had been curious about these creatures and wanted to get one.

It seems that a small group of evil, bickering, Immortal magicians, each wearing a different color, has taken over the planet. They use magic to warp and change life and souls. Their latest project is something really, really, REALLY bad. These Immortals are opposed by the heroic Knights of the Octagon, who have a secret hidden magically warded castle carved out of a mountain. The full details on this history can be had on this thread, posted around September 12, 2006. Here one of the Knights of the Octagon, old Sir Devan, reveals these secrets to Wisp, including the Prophesy of the Dark Harbinger, which may include mention of our Sereni-Tree folk.

There is some subversive Alliance activity on this planet, and these agents are seen as techno-heretics. The Octagon looks upon them as tenuous allies since they also oppose the reign of the Immortals.

Meanwhile, the Sereni-Tree is in orbit under the temporary command of SimonWho. SimonWho has been asked by all the Brides to help them resurrect the late Bride1, who had been reaverized and slain long ago in a previous thread. Also, SimonWho’s Blue Box appeared in the Sereni-Tree common room and PsychicRiver stepped out, apparently having completed his visit to his own elsewhen.

So, what has happened on Zanzibar? Let’s see, Our Heroes climbed aboard the shuttle Admiral Nelson, departed the Sereni-Tree, and secretly landed on this planet. This crew included Cozen (with chaps and sniper rifle), Jadehand, Jake7 (who has the power to confuse chickens), LightMeDark (who has the power to speak to all animals), Mai (with a new tracking device in a necklace), Seryn, ScorpionRegent, his robot Snarky (playing appropriate music), TheRealMe, Wisp, XanderLHarris/Ash, and a bunch of robotic space chickens crafted by TheRealMe for use as mounts. Meanwhile, Seryn has made us period costumes though some (like Jake7’s) require slight modification due to modesty issues.

ScorpionRegent ended up in the dungeons of the local Baroness for crimes that he apparently committed the last time he was here, mostly thefts and crimes of the heart. Seryn also found her way to the castle, and bargained for his release. The Baroness wants them to fetch some item for her that she claims was stolen by another noble. SR thinks it might be some magical device of great power. A mercenary loyal to the Baroness is the half-human, half-chicken called “13” apparently created by an Immortal’s experiments. The robot Snarky’s whereabouts are unknown at this time, but it was last seen in the company of SR before his capture.

Wisp chased a monk armed with a machine gun and then encountered one of the Immortals, Alatariel the Lurker. Just before she was about to turn him into something unpleasant, he was rescued by Sir Devan of the Octagonal Order and taken to the Order’s hidden fortress. Devan relates a prophesy of something really bad coming, but also of a cryptic way to defeat it involving a magical key and a magical weapon of some unknown sort. Wisp has been given access to what technology the Octagonal Order has managed to acquire.

The rest of Our Heroes were in a local village inn, enjoying breakfast, when a young fellow, Sir Kei (apparently a Knight of the Octagon), was set upon by giant snakes of the Immortal Ouroborous the Infinite, all the while being watched by a magical silver eye of a third Immortal, Arinda the Empress. TheRealMe was briefly entangled by a giant snake, but was saved by Jadehand. After defeating the last of the snakes, Sir Kei invites Our Heroes to speak with him.

52) THE SERENI-TREE, IMMORTALS, THE OCTAGONAL ORDER, AND THE HARBINGER OF DARKNESS

http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=24123


The Sereni-Tree has come to the planet Zanzibar, colonized long ago by new age mystics, fantasy role-players, and Renaissance Faire enthusiasts. Our Heroes came looking for some of the giant, fire-breathing space chickens that the Zanzibarbarians have bred instead of horses to be their mounts. However, they have become entangled into something else.

The planet has been conquered by eight immortal magicians of terrifying power. They seem to be without morals or compassion, and rule through might. They are casually ruthless with “mere humans”, and are constantly bickering with and backstabbing each other. Alatariel seems to be leading a breeding program where she combines genes of humans with other creatures, creating odd-looking chimeras and unspeakable abominations, all of them as toys to her. One of these creatures is the “Special Project”. The Immortals seem frightened of their leader Arinda, who has the power to control their minds even if she cannot permanently harm their bodies. Jadehand has theorized that the Immortals are kept alive by removing their souls and putting it into soul jars. So, unless the jars can be located, they cannot be slain, and if harmed they regenerate at a frightening rate. However, Wisp may have found a way around that.

Adelle the Burner (Orange) – Fire, Smoke, Energy; has summoned lava dragons with riders
Alatariel the Lurker, of the Black Tower (Black) – Communication, Transformation, Illusion; breeder of monsters.
Arinda of the Silver Eyes, the Empress (Violet) – Mind Control, Knowledge; ugly and vain.
Karg the Bloody (Red) – War Magic; gigantic warrior encased in armor. Not yet seen.
Krysta the Whisperer, the Ice Queen (White) – Cold, Ice, Water; recently slain by Wisp???
Magnus the Maker (Gold) – Crafter of Magical Items. Not yet seen.
Ouroborous the Infinite (Green) – Life, Plants, Animals, Earth, Stone; floats, likes snakes, worst backstabber of the bunch as he plots against all his fellows.
Zorander the Storm Caller (Blue) – Air, Wind, Storm, Weather; killed by Sir Devan once, and looking for payback. Not yet seen.


Opposing the Immortals and protecting the normal humans is an organization of knight-magicians, the Octagonal Order:

Sir Devan - Old, white-haired, bearded mentor in the style of Obi-wan Kenobi. Found Wisp. Led the capture of Krysta in a Wards Major.
Sir Elaine - She is temperamental and wields a greatsword with much skill. Helped capture Krysta.
Sir Fesai - Has light, flexible armor and a halberd. Least of the Order. Recently frozen to death by Krysta.
Sir Kei - Large, super strong, cheerful slayer of monsters. Summons armor and weapons to him. Unburdened by great intellect.
Sir Luc / Lucretia. - She can locate other Knights. Friend to Kei, who annoys her greatly.
Sir Morgana - She is very cautious. Leery about both Wisp and 13. Helped capture Krysta. EDIT: Baroness of Fairhaven.
Sir Wil - Lightly built; extraordinary archer. Found the chimera 13. He helped capture Krysta.

Sir Not-appearing-in-this-film aka Sir Up-for-grabs - The eighth Knight of the Octagonal Order has not yet been identified. Perhaps a vacant position.

--------------------

Wisp and 13 (one of Alatariel’s escaped chicken-men chimeras) were taken to the hidden keep of the Octagonal Order by Sir Devan and Sir Wil, respectively. As a techno-heretic, Wisp was shown the Order’s sacred vault filled with forbidden techno devices, and he started working on them. Wisped believes that he has found the scientific laws underlying magic. After four Knights captured the Immortal Krysta the Whisperer in a Wards Major, Wisp conducted some experiments on her blood and believes that he can kill the Immortals. Sadly, Sir Fesai, in a moment of mad delirium, attacked Wisp’s equipment, released the Immortal Krysta, and was frozen solid for his trouble. Wisp might have then killed Krysta with some weird death ray (certainly, he damaged her severely). Most of Wisp’s work is trashed, but he has the ability to gift ONE Knight with extraordinary magical power, but it must be done quickly! Sir Luc, the only (living) Knight with him, has volunteered for the procedure. She has recieved an injection, and must wait for some hours.

While 13 was with the Octagonal Order at the invitation of Sir Wil the archer, I believe that he was sent off to find some more of Our Heroes.

TheRealMe, Jadehand, Jake7, (and perhaps Ash/XanderLHarris) realized that Cozen has taken the shuttle Admiral Nelson back up to the Sereni-Tree with a cargo of giant fire-breathing space chickens, leaving Our Heroes stranded. Oh, well. Jadehand provides TheRealMe with five jar devices that could potentially track down the hidden soul jars of the Immortals, provided we had a piece of an Immortal of interest to stick in each jar. Jadehand then departed for a time, having to balance all of his alter-egos again.

LightMeDark is wandering around alone on Zanzibar and has met a mysterious old man in a farm cottage.

Seryn, Scorpion Regent, and his robot Snarky have approached the castle of the local baroness, to undertake a mission to recover some kind of dream stone that can grant wishes. They have just been let in by a rather short but efficient butler.

EDIT: Seryn, SR, and Snarky approached the Octagonal Order hidden keep, apparently known to SR, not the keep of the local baroness.

------------------------

On the Sereni-Tree in orbit, Cozen is busy cooking some of the giant space chickens that he brought up from the planet. Or else he is busy unwrapping his birthday present from Bride5 (which is, in fact, Bride5 herself).

SoulofSerenity and CallMeSerenity continue in their wedded bliss as new parents of the little angel Seraphina. Mai especially has enjoyed her role as babysitter and auntie. I believe that Serenity and Mai have taken little Sera to the pifflepony ranch.

Jazaf has returned after a long absence.

The Brides got together to convince Doctor SimonWho to clone Bride1, who had been slain long ago on the planet Black Diamond. While successful, it seems that some Chemical X had been accidentally dropped into the vat during the process, with yet-unknown results.

In an earlier thread, SimonWho’s son PsychicRiver had returned from his trip across spacetime, but seems strangely quiet now.

The Yeti are busy playing with and caring for their new arrival, Corbin’s baby SimonYeti (named in honor of our good doctor), who was born around the same time as Sera.

53) THE SERENI-TREE, IMMORTALS, THE OCTAGONAL ORDER, AND THE HARBINGER OF DARKNESS, PART 2

http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=25193

The Sereni-Tree has come to the planet Zanzibar, colonized long ago by new age mystics, fantasy role-players, and Renaissance Faire enthusiasts. Our Heroes have gotten involved in a war between the heroic Knights of the Octagonal Order and the Immortals, a small band of unkillable magicians of terrible power who have conquered the planet.

---------------------

On the planet Zanzibar:

War has come to the Keep of the Octagonal Order. The Immortal Karg the Bloody led his armies of mutant monsters against the brave defenders, which included the Knights of the Octagon and some of Our Heroes from the Sereni-Tree (Wisp, Scorpion Regent, his robot Snarky, Deuce / Bride2, and Jazaf). Much fighting and heroism was had defending the walls of the keep.

Our own Jazaf has been revealed as both a Knight of the Octagonal Order (as Sir Jazaf) AND an Immortal (as Jazaf the Grey, the Metal Beast). He’s been fighting on the side of the Knights, luckily for us.

After his lab was destroyed by the misguided Sir Fesai, Wisp injects Sir Lucretia with a serum to give her super-powerful magical abilities. It works well. Too well. Luc seems to lose control of herself and transforms into a monster while spouting phrases normally associated with megalomaniac super-villians bent on conquering the world. Her increase in power is sort of handy, however. This is because, late in the great battle, the human / dragon / demon cross-breed Special Project of the Immortals has arrived. The Special Project Is out of anyone’s control and has been burninating people from both sides. The siege is largely over by this time, and the remaining monstrous troops scatter.

TheRealMe and Jake7 have been using Jadehand’s soul jar detectors and have found the soul jar of the Immortal Alatariel the monster-breeder. They have recently returned to the Octagonal Order’s keep with an offer to help find more soul jars.

Chickenman Number13 has arrived at the Octagonal Keep on a flying mount loaded down with magical items while the fight between the Great Project of the Immortals and the Luc-monster continues.

LightMeDark was last seen in a simple farm cottage meeting a cranky old man and his family. As we well know, such cranky old men are often much more than they appear! Or maybe not.

Ash / XanderLHarris came down to Zanzibar, but we have sort of lost track of her.

Between cleverness on part of the Knights, the overwhelming power of Sir Luc, and their own bickering and treachery, all of the Immortals aside from Jazaf and Alatariel have been constrained by Wards Major and placed inside Magnus’ Impenetrable Cage in the Immortal’s Castle. However, Alatariel lost her mind during her struggle against the Immortal Empress Arinda of the Silver Eyes. Jazaf has placed the Castle of Immortals (and the Key of Magnus’ Impenetrable Cage) in the care of his new butler, Chickenman Number 6, and is seeking a way to return Alatariel to normal.

By the time the siege of the Octagonal Keep is winding down and the battle between the Luc-monster and the Special Project really gets going, the eight Knights of the Octagonal Order are suffering some vacancies in their ranks. Sir Fesai has been frozen solid and broken into pieces; Sir Wil has had a tower dropped on him; Sir Devan has been turned to stone, fell from a great height, and THEN had a tower dropped on him; Sir Luc has lost control of her magic and has transformed into a monster; and Sir Jazaf has been magically transported away to the Castle of Immortals. Still active at the Keep of the Octagon are only: Sir Morgana, the Baroness of Fairhaven and senior remaining Knight; Sir Elaine who lost her greatsword; and Sir Kei the cheerful monster-slayer.

Finally, the Luc-monster uses magic to cause the Great Project to tear itself to pieces, but sadly finds herself overcome by her own magic as silver lines trace their way throughout her body. Deciding that the Luc-monster seemed pretty evil, Chickenman Number 13 attacks it atop his flying mount with his arsenal of magical items.

------------------

On the Sereni-Tree in orbit:

Cozen was last seen cooking up some giant fire-breathing space chickens for dinner, but may have been interrupted by Quincey / Bride5.

Ace / Bride1 has been wandering the Sereni-Tree after being revived / cloned by Doctor SimonWho. She is unfamiliar with current events and most of the crew, since her last memory was some 30 threads ago. She makes friends with McQ the cyborg, who has recently re-activated.

McQ is later seen helping to untangle Christmas lights.

With PsychicRiver nowhere to be seen, Serenity pulls out of storage the large metallic tree fashioned last year by Jazaf. Soul and Serenity continue their roles as proud new parents, taking the little angel Sera to the pifflepony ranch in the cargo bay and to Sereni-Tree’s newly established winter snow park of fun, making snow angels and taking sled rides. Uncle Ath and Mai enjoy spending lots of their time with the baby as well. They are currently making snow angels.

SimonWho is offering good medical advice, but is not reading labels on refrigerator items.

After turning into a wizard and exhausting his capacity to change shape, Jadehand returned to Sereni-Tree and once more turned into the pirate Black Jack Rackham with his never-empty flask of rum. Then, he takes the shuttle Ocean Cloud down to Zanzibar to relax and observe the sunset.

Doris the talking goat is wandering about, talking.

A very pregnant Seryn removed herself from adventures on Zanzibar for a time. However, she recently went down in her fighter, the Nandi, to the Octagonal Order keep for a supportive strafing run. Also, she has distributed magic Christmas present boxes.

The Yeti are still playing with their new addition, Corbin’s baby SimonYeti. They have all moved into the snow park, as it is similar to their natural environment. One of them has started a snowball fight with Ath, Serenity, and Mai.

Brides3, 4, 6, and 7 don’t seem to be doing much, though Jet / Bride4 usually keeps to herself in Engineering, anyway.

Oh, and TheRealMe sent Jake7 to the safety (and fun) of the Sereni-Tree via one of his dimensional portals.

54) AFTERMATH ON ZANZIBAR AND A SERNI-TREE CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR

http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=26085


The Sereni-Tree has come to the planet Zanzibar, colonized long ago by new age mystics, fantasy role-players, and Renaissance Faire enthusiasts. Our Heroes have gotten involved in a war between the heroic Knights of the Octagonal Order and the Immortals, a small band of unkillable magicians of terrible power who have conquered the planet.

Well, the Immortals have been sealed up into an escape-proof magical cell, the Special Project of the Immortals (a gene-spliced dragon / human / demon thing) has been destroyed by the Luc-monster, and the Luc-monster has been overcome by her own raging magics, not to mention the many magical gimgacks wielded by Chicken-man 13.

In fact, Our Heroes were helping the few remaining Knights of the Octagon with rescue operations. Most of us were highly regarded and rewarded for our service. Then, Wisp decided to blow up the Vault of the Techno-heretics so that the Order will be unable to experiment with super-science. We found it politically expedient at that time to beat a hasty retreat and departed in our shuttle and return to the Sereni-Tree in orbit.

Dangling Zanzibarbarian plot threads that may bite us some day are as follows:

Sir Morgana, the highest ranking member of the Octagonal Order to survive this conflict, has in her possession the Dreamer’s Stone (whatever that is, it sounds powerful!).

Chicken-man 13 has lots of powerful magical items that he got from somewhere (the closet of the Immortal Magnus the Maker?), and a flying mount!

Chicken-man 6 has the Key to Magnus’ Cell, where seven of the evil Immortals are trapped. He is also apparently in charge of the Castle of Immortals. There could be problems if the key in his possession is used to unlock the cage.

The Immortal Alatariel the Lurker is NOT in Magnus’ cell. Her mind was lost while fighting Empress Arinda of the Silver Eyes. Alatariel’s actions led to the fall of the Immortals and she seems to be in love with Jazaf, BUT she has done plenty of evil stuff. While currently catatonic and in the care of Number 6, she could wake up and cause trouble.

Our own Jazaf is both a Knight of the Octagonal Order and an Immortal, as Jazaf the Metal Beast. That is sort of weird.

The metal statue that was once the Luc-monster seems to be mentally communicating with Sir Kei of the Order. Worse, he seems to be listening. Still worse, he was never very bright.

It is not out of the questions that some Zanzibarbarians will find their way on board the Sereni-Tree.

-------------

Meanwhile on the Sereni-Tree, not only has Bride1 been returned to us through SimonWho’s cloning magic, but McQ the cyborg, our pilot CallMeAth, the kids Shadow and Ghost, and even the long-lost TheGreyJedi have all returned to us.

Unfortunately, Mai has been lost… AGAIN.

Oh, and TheRealMe and Jake7 have been having a very entertaining game of pool, until TheRealMe incapacitated himself. “You got a sports injury playing POOL?!”

Seryn gave birth with the aid of a squad of magical faeries.

And of course, Serenity and Soul are enjoying time with their baby angel, Serephina.

55) THE SERENI-TREE AND MAI-QUEST 3: QUEST TO THE OLD WEST

http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=26750


The Sereni-Tree still in orbit (or has it landed on) the planet Zanzibar, colonized long ago by new age mystics, fantasy role-players, and Renaissance Faire enthusiasts. The great war with the Immortals is over. However, we lost Mai! She sort of vanished.

Thanks to the extra-dimensional portal superpowers of TheRealMe, a group of Our Heroes went off to search for Mai. She had ended up in a strange American Old West setting, circa 1885, except that there was an evil lawman who had magical powers, including that of creating zombies. Mai died for a time, existing as both a ghost and a creepy zombie. However, our resourceful crew managed to get her back to normal. And a good thing, too, considering our “no dying” rule.

TheRealMe ensured that everyone was accounted for and returned to Sereni-Tree and then closed the dimensional portal to Westworld.

Now, all we need to do is figure out what the Next Big Thing is!

Meanwhile, there are newcomers aboard Sereni-Tree!

56) THE SERENI-TREE AND THE NEXT BIG THING

http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=27832


Mai-Quest 3 was completed, and we left the dangerous Westworld using TheRealMe’s dimensional portals.

Soul accidentally released the dangerous and brilliant FemaleReaver from cryo-sleep.

FemaleReaver began terrorizing the crew, sabotaging items on the ship, and attacking some people. Normally, she plays mind-games with the crew, and strikes lone people from the shadows. She spreads terror.

Sir Kei of the Octagonal Order arrived on the ship. He is marveling at its wonders.

FemaleReaver sent the ship into hyperspace to an unknown (at the time) destination.

While in hyperspace, there were a number of encounters with FemaleReaver, who had acquired Soul’s bows and arrows and his power of desolidification. She terrorized the Yeti, using Soul’s trick arrows to freeze all of them but Hewitt and the baby SimonYeti. She succeeded in getting her hands on the parts of the Baby3000, once in the possession of Hewitt the Yeti. Also, FemaleReaver acquired BrownCoat2007’s healing power. Some of her other victims seem to include Ace / Bride1, Quincey / Bride5, and River-clone. While BC07 was gravely injured, he is healing nicely, now. SimonWho has been busy tending these people.

Bluefishie wandered around the ship, meeting a Diagnostic Repair Drone, BrownCoat2007, and Bobbie Sue / Bride6.

Mai and Citizen just removed her locator helmet, which had gotten stuck. Hewitt the Yeti had slammed into them while running from FemaleReaver and is unconscious. SimonYeti is there, too.

The last anyone saw of FemaleReaver is when she was tricked into phasing through the hull of the ship and out into hyperspace. This ruse involved TheRealMe, SoulofSerenity, Jake7, and McQ, at least. I don’t expect her to be able to return until we drop back into normal space, if even then.

BrownCoat2007 discovered that the destination that FemaleReaver set us on is to some Reaver-inhabited planetoid. She has fixed things so that Sereni-Tree will be largely disabled once we fall out of hyperspace into that system. A number of us are trying to undo or get around that sabotage.

TheRealMe has arranged that as soon as the ship falls back into normal space, it will shoot off at high velocity in a direction away from the Reaver planetoid, even if its engines are disabled. Also, the ship will be cloaked and very hard to spot.

In his Ocean Cloud ship, Jadehand has arrived in the Reaver system ahead of Sereni-Tree. He is clearing a space for us through an asteroid belt.

To get spare parts and/or supplies needed for repairs from FemaleReaver’s sabotage, BrownCoat2007 will lead a raiding party over to the Reavers, using one of our shuttles.

There! Did I forget anything?

Oh, right. While looking for peanutbutter, Fishie found a shiny orb! Shiny!

So, who among the Sereni-Tree crew is planning to accompany BrownCoat2007 on his Raid on Reaverworld to get our spare parts? Plenty of peril there to go around! However, I declare that for the duration of this thread, the Sereni-Tree itself, that is, our ship, will be a peril-free zone. Oh, you can do foreshadowing and some ominous stuff, but no direct peril. In this thread, all the actual peril will be with the strike team.

57) THE SERENI-TREE AND THE RAID ON REAVERWORLD

http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=28017


To get the parts Sereni-Tree needs for repairs, seven of our crew head down to Reaverworld and brave terrible dangers to recover them. The magnificent seven includes Jadehand, BC07, ScorpionRegent, Snarky, Bride2, SoulOfSerenity and Wisp.

Jadehand brings back some refugees.

Once the parts are incorporated into our ship by Jet/Bride4, then Quincey/Bride5 activates the JumpDrive and we are away from Reaverworld!

Meanwhile, the dessicated remains of the FemaleReaver conveniently falls out of hyperspace over Reaverworld, so that she might be revived and used again to cause us peril in the future.

58) THE SERENI-TREE AND THE THIRD ANNIVERSARY PARTY


http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=28812

Uh, well, we came back to Earth-That-Still-Is and had our third anniversary party. We got a few old-timers to show up (Malicious, Montanagirl, Ash). There was also a subplot of creating Big Damn Hero clones to act as cabanaboys. The funny thing is, we once DID have Big Damn Hero clones aboard the ship. We started talking about forming a band. Mai had a friend named Flower come aboard with ReaverCowBob (???). Most everyone else was singing and getting drunk.

Oh, about the band. We once had a band, the "Fireflies". It had its own thread once, which is listed somewhere in TheRealMe's list of threads as a peripheral thread.

Because of this, our ship the Sereni-Tree has always had a soundstage and a dancehall up on the third floor of the East Wing, complete with a huge 1970s era disco ball.

Now, for another issue. We have been without significant peril for a while, now. I suspect that perilous adventures will have to happen soon, but maybe it will be on the world where we perform our first sold-out stadium concert!!!

So, what part do YOU want in our new band? And do we want to think of a new name?

59) THE SERENI-TREE AND PUTTING THE BAND BACK TOGETHER


http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=29782


The crew of the spaceship Sereni-Tree has been trying to form a band of various members. We discover who are the more or less musically inclined among us. As it happens, there is a big recording studio on the top floor of the East Wing, along with a dance hall equipped with a disco ball.

Also, there are the Harry Potter clones created by Seryn as a new subplot. While a few were destroyed in an orgy of literary criticism, some 8 or 10 or the original dozen have survived. Seryn, Mai, and Bluefishie seem to have taken the most interest in guiding these young man-like objects toward sentience.

There was some kind of contest over who can come up with the worst song that gets stuck in one's head the longest. We learn that one of these songs resulted in the birth of Seryn.

Finally, Jet and TheRealMe have discovered and corrected the defect that was keeping the ship trapped in hyperspace. It has fallen out of hyperspace over the planet Zanzibar.
