Epilogue

Rina, meanwhile, has quit the engine room for the rest of the ship, looking for Beast. On a hunch she looks through the cargo we’re carrying and seeing evidence of some burrowing through the supplies, she finds Beast hiding inside the shipment. She squirms inside with the little girl and warns her to hide. Some dangerous men are coming aboard and she needs to stay out of sight. Hiding where she is, is good enough, come to think of it. Girl found and warning to stay hidden delivered, Rina squirms out to rejoin the rest of the crew before she’s missed. Lovewell and his men really make Rina nervous and paranoid—more so than usual.

Outside on the dirt, Joshua’s trying to remember where the school is in relation to our ship and Lovewell’s. With Lovewell and Mountain Man occupied on the Gift, now would be a good time to take off and try to find the missing children. He approaches the Gunner on the ATV. He asks if it’s all right if he and the others look around for supplies.

Johsua: You don’t mind if we go start searchin’ for some’a those supplies and bring ’em back here to split’em, right? All right. We’ll be back.

Joshua notices something about the guy at the gun. There’s an off way he holds himself, listens and reacts to things. Maybe he’s somewhere on the autistic spectrum. His eyes aren’t quite right. Maybe he has early-onset Prion disease. Nika thumbs her comm and hails Rina, telling her they’re going to look around for supplies.

Nika: Me and Joshua are going to see what we can round up.
Rina: (over the comm) Yes, ma’am. I’ll hold the fort. Good luck.

Joshua and Nika take off for town. When they’re out of earshot, Joshua tells Nika some of his suspicions based on his Reading.

Joshua: Oh, by the way. I think that our other passenger can talk to the Reaver.
Nika: What?
Joshua: I think they’re talkin’. Like … cuz that’s what the girl said. That they can talk and I saw it in the vision. The Reaver vision.
Nika: How in the gorram hell do you talk to a Reaver?
Joshua: Hell if I know but I’ll tell you right now I’m pretty sure that our ‘friends’, our well-armed friends—
Nika: They ain’t no friends of mine.
Joshua: They are going to be really interested. If they know that or had any inkling of that, they’d be interested in him one way or the other. Either to silence us to hold on to him or to—
Nika: I’m going to comm Arden to have him deal with them and him.
Joshua: We only got so many people, and we need negotiating skills with all of them. We’re going to have to talk those kids out of that school. If they’re there. I’m hoping she’s not lying to us.
Nika: Double time it. Let’s go.

As soon as they’re out of sight of the ship and possible witnesses, she and Joshua haul ass for the school. It’s the typical one-room school, sharing a roof with a couple of offices and storerooms. It sports a bell on the roof. Nika knocks on the door once, twice, and getting no answer from inside, opens it. The schoolroom itself is a shambles. Nothing is undamaged. Slates, chalk, and other schoolhouse paraphernalia litter the floor. Some of the desks have been smashed against the walls, as if by someone incredibly angry. The rest have been pushed haphazardly around.

Nika does a quick sweep of the building, looking for any inhabitants. The offices and the storerooms yield nothing. Beside her, Joshua starts breathing deep again. Back in the school room Nika spots a couple of stray food wrappers on the floor. Looking up, she spies a hatch in the ceiling, ostensibly to the bell tower. Joshua follows her gaze then cuts her a look.

Joshua: Do you want to call out to them?

Looking over the room a little more carefully, they see some evidence that at some point someone had stacked the desks into a makeshift ladder to the hatch. It’s since been toppled. Nika eyes the jumble dubiously and gives Joshua an apologetic grimace.

Nika: I don’t suppose you could just… you know, open up your little brain and tell me if there’s anybody around here, could you?
Joshua: (breathes a laugh) Not really, no. I mean, I did it once, but that was not exactly the same, either. I think we just gotta talk them down.
Nika: Gimme a boost.

Joshua cradles his hands and she steps into them and up she goes. It’s twelve feet to the hatch and Nika has to climb onto Joshua’s shoulders and stretch her arms their full length to reach it. Joshua braces her ankles and manages to remain steady under her. Nika raps her knuckles on the hatch.

Nika: Hey, kids. Beast sent us. We’re gonna get you off here. You guys at all interested in getting’ outa town?
Joshua: (calling up) Someplace safe.

Nika thinks she hears some squeaks and some whispering up there. Joshua resumes his entreaty.

Joshua: All we want to do is help. We’re not him, and we’ve got food back at the ship and we would just like to get you somewhere safe. Please come out.

A young male voice answers.

Young Male: Get us some water.
Joshua: (nice and friendly) You have a name?
Another Child: And some … Blue Sun cola!
Joshua: We’ll see what I can do. Do you have a name, somebody? So I know who I’m talking to?
Young Male: I’m Joe.
Joshua: Joe. Okay.
Joe: I’m in charge.
Joshua: Okay.
Joe: Where’s the Beast?
Joshua: She’s on our ship. Safe as can be.
Joe: Shh-ship?
Joshua: Safe as can be. Our spaceship. We found her and just trying to keep her safe, just like we’re trying to keep you safe.

Joshua lets Nika down from his shoulders.

Nika: (murmuring) I don’t know if water will get them down, Joshua.
Joshua: I know, but we have to try something.
Nika: There’s probably a sink in the building. A pump or something.

There is no sink inside but there is well with a pump outside at the back. There is no bucket. Nika goes back inside and addresses the ceiling.

Nika: Look. How often does the town get hit?
Joe: We wan’ water.
Nika: Come on down then, get down to the ship and let’s get some water and some food.
Joshua: I believe we have some Blue Sun cola on the ship.

The kids aren’t budging, nope. The talk of ships seems to have spooked them. Going back outside and checking Lovewell’s ship, Nika and Joshua see foraging parties organizing on the dirt.

Nika and Joshua are running out of time. They have to get the kids out before the foraging parties find them. There’s something about these men that makes our crew distrustful of their tender mercies with respect to any survivors, kids or not. Joshua suggests they both go to the house next door and raid it for supplies to provide themselves with a reasonable cover story and if they’re lucky, they might find something sufficient to coax the children out of hiding.

There’s not much left. The town has been pillaged and picked over pretty thoroughly already. Nika finds a pitcher and fills it from the pump. Getting it up to the hatch without spilling will be difficult. Nika stands beneath the hatch and calls up.

Nika: All right, y’all. We got water. But y’all gotta come down an’ get it.
Joshua: We can’t give it to you through the door, unfortunately.

The kids still aren’t budging. Nika looks at Joshua, flummoxed.

Nika: I don’t know what to tell you. I don’t have a good Mom Voice.
Joshua: It’s okay. I wouldn’t’ve pegged Rina for a mom, either.
Nika: It’s similar to a Captain Voice, though.
Joshua: I noticed that. Unfortunately, I not sure if they’re going to respond to the Discipline Voice.
Nika: (exactly!) Yeah. I don’t know what else to do. But I am going to tell them we’re gonna just leave their asses here if they don’t get a move on.

Back on the Gift, Lovewell and Mountain Man and Kiera are lingering in the passenger lounge. Lovewell takes a good look around the lounge and returns to Kiera.

Lovewell: So what were the conditions you found them in? Did you find them?

Meaning the patients in medbay.

Kiera: Actually I was the fourth in line to find them but they were not good. The whole thing looked like a giant meat locker.
Lovewell: They seemed to have some marks on their wrists. They were strung up?
Kiera: Yep. Not pretty. Hadn’t moved anything if you wanna go look at it.
Lovewell: We will. How many other bodies, would you say?
Kiera: Don’t know. Looked up, there was a lot, more worried about these two.
Lovewell: Probably had thirty or forty people. Was it that many bodies?
Kiera: Could be. Wasn’t paying attention once I figured out one of these two were still alive. Stuck my hands in an’ tried stop the bleedin’.

Lovewell considers it. Then:

Lovewell: The Captain. Where’d your Captain go?
Kiera: I don’t know. Wandered off.
Lovewell: Ain’t real safe to go wandering off.
Kiera: I know but she’s the Captain. She dun’t check with me.
Lovewell: A’right.

Lovewell catches Mountain Man’s eye.

Lovewell: What d’you think?
Mountain Man: Cap’n … I think we oughta talk to the Captain. Somethin’ ain’t quite right here. (to Kiera) No offense, ma’am.
Kiera: (none taken) Oh no. Whaddya think I’m hidin’?
Mountain Man: I don’ know. That’s why’m worried.
Kiera: ’Kay. You can look around. I ain’t got nothin’. Two cut up people. With a doctor workin’ on ’em. A hired gun an’ myself. Not hidin’ nothing. I mean, hell. We jus’ showed up to drop off some stuff.
Mountain Man: Well pardon me, ma’am, but people who’re hidin’ something don’t jus’ go around sayin’ they’re hidin’ somthin’.
Kiera: Since we’re being so bleak an’ honest, I can tell you we’re being honest. There ain’t much’a nothin’ goin’ on.
Mountain Man: Yeah.
Lovewell: All right. We’ll be back. Tell your Captain to come round our ship. We’ll have a chat.
Kiera: Well I can tell her. Can’t guarantee she’ll come, though. She is stubborn that way.
Lovewell: It’s in her interest.
Kiera: In her interest?
Lovewell: In all y’all’s interest.
Kiera: Well … should I consider that, since we’re talkin’ about hidin’ things, is that a veiled threat? Or a gently-put threat?

Lovewell sniffs a laugh through his nose.

Lovewell: Yes.

He and his man start walking for the airlock stairs. Kiera sees them off and when the coast is clear, she gets on the comm with Nika.

Kiera: Nika.
Nika: (drawling) Yeah? What’cha got?
Kiera: They seem to have given me an openly-veiled friendly threat that if you don’t show up at their ship to converse, because they believe we are hidin’ somethin’, that they promise indirectly that something may or may not happen to us in so many nice words.
Nika: (agreeing) Of course they did.
Kiera: Of course. So they kinda expect you to come by an’ visit.
Nika: Oh Thrillsville.
Kiera: Yeah. And it’s also implied that if Arden and I accidentally killed the people on the table, they’re okay with that too.
Nika: Oh I don’t think that was implied at all. I was pretty much thought that was spoken straight out.
Kiera: That was spoken straight out. But … yeah.
Nika: Okay. I was under that impression before I left.
Kiera: So the problem is, Captain, morally do we kill them or not? Arden is probably not going to go for this having spent so much effort on it.
Nika: (drawling) Don’t count on it, darlin’.
Kiera: Really?
Nika: See what comes of ’em first.
Kiera: A’right. I’m kinda inclined to watch ’em if they incubate—
Nika: This isn’t the first time we’ve come across Reavers or Reaver bait.
Kiera: Ahhh. All right then. See, I ain’t got no experience with that. So I reckon if worse comes to worse an’ he feels all scientific …
Nika: Only if they turn would he go for that. If they’d been infected somehow or other.
Kiera: Yeah, I was inclined to think that y’all might wanna watch them to see if they incubate. I didn’t know if y’all had been through this before or not.

We have, actually. We’d rescued those four men off the Pandora, patched them up. They stayed with us for four months on Miranda and we left them with the crew of Decatur in Blue Sun when Kramer took command.

Nika’s speech goes oblique in case the hunters have hacked our comms.

Nika: In the meantime, we’ve managed to locate the rest of our cargo.
Kiera: (getting it) Oh hey, you found the other supplies? How fortunate of you.
Nika: Um-hm. Only we got a problem.
Kiera: Is it all rotten?
Nika: It’s sorta stuck in a spot I can’t get to. We could really use Beast’s help gettin’ to it.
Kiera: Ahhh. Well, I’ll see if I can shoo the doggie out.
Nika: That’d be nice.
Kiera: Okay. Dogs always love the smell’a somethin’ off.
Nika: And I guess Joshua and I will go make our appearance over at the other ship.
Kiera: A’right. I’ll go see if I can bring out the trackin’ dog and see if I can get it to do somethin’.
Nika: O-kay.
Kiera: Here, puppy puppy puppy…

Kiera ends the call. She finds Rina coming up from the lower decks. They pause in the stair corridor.

Rina: (off her expression) All right. What’s the deal?
Kiera: They’ve located them. However, since we didn’t know what channel they were listening in, we got a dog whose name is Beast, which is our dog, needs to be gotten down since they seem to be not willing to come down.
Rina: Got you.
Kiera: They’re up in the school house.
Rina: Are our visitors gone?
Kiera: Well, I’m assuming they’re up at the ship but I would not assume they’re not watchin’ us.
Rina: What, you think we’re going to roll up our dog in a rug and shlep it out there?
Kiera: No. But I’m sure we can find a way to get her out there.
Rina: Unseen would be better.
Kiera: I don’t think I can fold her in my backpack. She’s not that small. Or…

Kiera suggests Rina stay on our girl with Beast and rig up a secure channel to Kiera’s comm. Kiera would take herself and her comm to the school house and let the other kids listen to Beast via the channel.

Worth a shot.

Back at the school house, Joshua is working on his own solution. He turns to Nika.

Joshua: Are we planning to go walking over to the other ship?
Nika: We’re gonna have to. Otherwise they’re gonna come lookin’ for us.
Joshua: Kids? We don’t have a whole lot longer to be stickin’ around. I don’t mean that in any bad way. I just mean that one way or another we’re going to have to leave and we rather not leave you here. Cuz I think you’re old enough—at least some of you are old enough to know that there’s not … much left here. And I’d rather you not be left here alone with not a lot of food and not a lot of water. (a beat) We’ll be back. Shortly. But … just think about it. Okay? Think about the fact that I’d be better if—

Voice: You should listen to him.

Lovewell has found them and he’s standing in the door, and Mountain Man is right behind him. Blocking the only way out.

Damn.

Joshua: (impressed) You’re sneaky. I like you.
Nika: Hey, Cap’n.

Lovewell is not pleased at being hoodwinked and though he doesn’t lower his voice, the temperature in the room drops ten degrees.

Lovewell: Only two survivors, huh? Anything else you want to tell me, Captain?
Nika: (steely) I wasn’t likin’ the way you talked about what would happen to survivors under your … gentle guidance. And given the fact that the only survivors I know about are a bunch’a kids hidin’ in the schoolhouse—as best they can—from the Reaver that keeps comin’ after them, I figured I might be better off takin' care of it myself.

If Lovewell hears her implicit accusation that he’d harm traumatized children, he makes no indication of it. Is that a glint of platinum in his eye? An awareness of a bounty to be had?

Lovewell: Reaver keeps coming after them?
Nika: Apparently, there is one Reaver that keeps comin’ into this town and chasin’ the kids down. We’ve been told he’s been maimed in some form, that he is missin’ an arm.
Lovewell: A Reaver.
Nika: Yeah. It’s one Reaver. Which ain’t usual. And these kids’re scared enough that I didn’t think being interrogated was in their best interest.
Lovewell: (slowly) I reckon you’re right about that.
Nika: Far as I can tell from listenin’ to ’em, they ain’t but somewhere between five an’ ten, all of’em put together.
Lovewell: I can get ’em down but it might scare the young’uns. So … I won’t do that. (a beat) But it would be wrong for me to let ’em go flyin’ off with some strangers.
Nika: Well you’re as much strangers to ’em as we are.
Lovewell: Well, as you said, I’m practically the law in this area.
Nika: Well and we’re headed directly to the starport.
Lovewell: So you say. But then you said lots of things.

The gauntlet has clearly been thrown. Nika picks it right the hell up.

Nika: I’d be happy to keep in contact with you the entire way. You’ll forgive me if I want to keep these kids safe.
Lovewell: Hm. So you say.
Joshua: (evenly) Yeah. So we say. And we mean it.
Lovewell: Well. Tell you what—
Nika: And you say you’re planning’ on interrogatin’ anyone who survives and … well, you know … decidin’ if they’re a threat. In not so pleasant fashion.
Lovewell: These are kids four or five years old, you said?

First blood goes to the lady.

Nika: Well, maybe five to ten.
Lovewell: Don’t sound like much a threat. (pause) I don’t think it’s such a good idea to … scare the kids by … smokin’ them out or anything.
Joshua: (agreeing) No.
Nika: Well if you’re okay with not scarin’ the crap outa them, let’s see if we can get ’em down and you can ask them whatever you want about the Reaver, because I’m pretty sure they’re gonna tell you everything they know. Far’s I can tell, he’s gone and scared the crap outa all of them.
Lovewell: Um-hm.
Nika: And he comes every coupla days.
Lovewell: That’s a good point. (raises voice) You kids all safe up there?

Silence.

Lovewell: Yeah, I wouldn’t come down here. Not with that Reaver out here.

So much for not scaring the kids. Ruttin’ chou wang ba dan. (*Chinese: lousy bastard)

Lovewell: (to Nika) See if you can make ’em come down, an’ we’ll all talk about him.
Nika: I’ll see what I can do.

Lovewell turns slowly around and whispers something to Mountain Man. One last look and they both leave for their ship. Nika watches them from the doorway and when they’re out of earshot, she calls up to the kids.

Nika: Kids, you got two choices. You can either come with us now or we can leave you here and you can be left to the tender mercies of the Reaver Hunters.
Joe: Reaver Hunters?
Nika: That seems to be what they are, yeah.
Joe: So they’re like … they hunt Reavers?
Nika: I sure hope so.
Joe: They kill Reavers?
Nika: I hope so. Look, you can come and ride with us, Beast is aboard our ship. We’re all gonna take you to starport and they will find you some place to be. Away from all of this. Or you can come down and go with them. I don’t know what they got in mind but it sure didn’t sound pleasant to me.
Joe: Beast told us never to run.
Nika: Well this ain’t running, kiddo. It’s called strategic retreat. (a beat) When you go to war, which is what basically you all are livin’ in, there’s a difference between runnin’ and strategic retreat. What strategic retreat means is you wait til they ain’t lookin’and you find a new place to hide that they don’t know about. So that you can regroup and get your ducks in a row before they come at you again.
Joshua: If you stay up there …
Nika: He will find you eventually. Being farther away is better.
Joshua: The Reaver Hunters, I’m pretty sure don’t want anything but to hunt Reavers and to kill Reavers.
Nika: That’s how they make their money.
Joshua: And I’m not all that certain that they wouldn’t do whatever it takes to bring the Reavers back so they can kill them. If that means—
Nika: Using you as bait.
Joshua: And I think they might. I’d rather not see that happen, cuz I’ve already met Beast. She seems like a sweetheart.
Nika: Seems to me you all’re the toughest kids I’ve ever met. You’ve managed to outlast a Reaver who’s been comin’ at’cha for I don’t even know for how long. But you deserve a little bit of a break. And we’re tryin’ to give you one. But you gotta trust us just a little.

Joshua and Nika can hear the kids whispering amongst themselves overhead and then it gets quiet. Nika gives them a couple more minutes to see if they’ll call out first before she speaks. They remain silent.

Nika: Guys, we need to make a decision one way or the other. We gotta go.
Joe: Send the Hunters. Tell’em … tell’em to kill the Reaver.
Nika: They’re gonna do that but what are you gonna do here in the meantime?
Joe: Survive.
Nika: You think the seven of you will be survivin’ in this town all by yourself for how long?
Joe: They’ll be … they’ll be back.
Nika: That’s not what I’m asking you, kiddo. What comes after? When they do come and they do kill him? What comes after? What is here for you?

No answer from the hatch.

Nika: You got nothin’ left here. There’s hardly any food.
Joe: We’ll just go with the Hunters.

Joshua checks behind him to make sure Lovewell hasn’t come back and then says in an undertone to Nika:

Joshua: I tell ya, I’d almost give the Hunters the other guy—it offends me to the deepest level to even make that sort of trade—cuz he’s, he’s the key to that other Reaver.
Nika: Doesn’t offend me to make that trade.
Joshua: I knew it wouldn’t. I just don’t know if I trust them that far to—

He stops and replays what he can remember of his Reading and again he sees the Reaver talking to Catatonic Man. Although perhaps talk isn’t the best way to describe what was going on, there was definitely SOMETHING happening between the two. Kiera crosses the threshold from the Gift. She and Rina had to abandon their original plan with the comms because there wasn’t time to make what they needed with the parts they had on hand. Sending Kiera over in person was faster and a safer means to avoid any channel scanner the Hunters might have.

Kiera: It’d be crazy to bring the little girl out with us because they’re lookin’ and we already said that she wasn’t here.
Nika: They already know the kids are here.
Kiera: Oh. So we might as well bring her down?
Nika: The Cap’n left the ship and followed us here. Pretty much immediately.
Kiera: Well, sounds like somthin’. They seem to be really interested in intimidatin’ us. Question is, is it because they want us to—Can y’all talk to’em up there. You mind if I climb up there?
Nika: There ain’t no climbing up there.
Kiera: Boost me up there? Or we could just holler up there since they know they’re there now?

Nika fills Kiera in on the stand off and Joshua continues to ask the kids questions, hoping to get something from to give to the Hunters in trade.

Joshua: Who’s the catatonic guy? Kids, who’s the man who doesn’t really speak? Kinda walks kinda funny. Do you know him? Or the one-armed guy?

No response. Kiera marches over to the hatch and yells up to it.

Kiera: If y’all’re still here when he comes, he’s probably gonna burn the damn schoolhouse down so if you come downstairs we can take y’all an’ feed you some dinner and take you where you can be safe. Not that we have to but we got somethin’ good to eat so just get the heck on down here and stop bein’ stupid.

Stop bein’ stupid. Joshua looks at Nika.

Joshua: That’s an interesting tactic.

It must have been that crack about being stupid that did it. After a moment of silence a brave-sounding voice—likely all of eight years old—calls out. It's Joe.

Joe: We’ll go with whoever kills it.
Kiera: Well, it isn’t here.
Joe: It will be.
Kiera: Yeah, and you’ll be up here and it will come down and it will burn the schoolhouse down and you won’t get to see us kill it. However if you’re on our big shiny ship—
Joe: It won’t burn us.
Kiera: Why won’t it burn ya?
Joe: I don’ know but it … it could’ve.
Kiera: So it just let y’all sit up here and watch everything?
Joe: (quiet now) … Yes …
Joshua: Is this the one who threw all the desks around?
Joe: He got angry.
Kiera: Is there always only one?
Joe: Just … for now.

Kiera tries a different tactic.

Kiera: (softly) Now look, sweeties. I know you’re hungry—.
Joe: Just get him!
Kiera: Now how’m I gonna prove that cuz y’all won’t come down to see us do it.
Joe: Bring him.
Kiera: How do you know it’ll be him?
Joe: (very quiet) We’ll know.
Kiera: Does it have a name? Have you seen it before?
Joe: Seen him.
Kiera: Was it a stranger? Or is it somebody from here?
Joe: It’s a monster.
Kiera: Where does the monster stay?
Joe: The woods.
Kiera: The woods to the south of town. North of town. To the east or the west?
Joe: All woods.
Kiera: It’s in all woods?
Nika: That’s a kid answer.
Joe: We don’t go in the woods.
Kiera: So you don’t ever go in the woods?
Joshua: Is this only since a lot of the Reavers came or was he always been there?
Joe: They … they left him here.
Kiera: So they left one here?

No answer.

Kiera: Now babies, if they left one here and he comes back, and what does he do when he comes back. Cuz there ain’t anybody left here but you.
Joe: There were others. We heard them screaming.
Kiera: They’re not there now.
Joe: We saw them in the silo.
Nika: You saw them in the silo?
Joe: Beast did. She told us.
Nika: She tell you who was left?

There’s a long pause. Then:

Joe: That they’re … dead. That all our Moms and Dads … our Mas and Pas …
Nika: Then that’s a good thing, kiddo.
Joe: (confused) It’s good that our Moms and Dads are … are dead?
Nika: No, it’s good that they’re not being tortured.
Joe: What’s torture?
Nika: That he’s not still hurtin’ them.
Kiera: Now it would be good if y’all came where your Mommas and Poppas’d be really happy to have you go—
Joe: Hurt goes away. But you don’t go away when you’re dead. You don’t come back when you’re dead.
Kiera: I know.
Nika: That’s true enough.
Kiera: Babies, your Mommas and Daddies would want you to come down an’ be safe. They don’t want you up there. Y’all are gonna get awful hungry up there, an’ if you jus’ come on down we can get’ya some food.
Joe: Beast said we don’t play those rules anymore. We have to be like … them.
Kiera: Well, Beast is on our ship, havin’ a nice sandwich and a nice glass of chocolate milk. An’ you can do that too. But I don’t have a way of makin’ her tell you what’s goin’ on. Except for if you come down here and listen cuz I got her on my speaker.
Joe: Bring her here if she’s gone with you. I think you might be hurting her.
Kiera: Oh, gosh no, darlin’. We’d never hurt anybody.

Kiera leaves off and goes over to Nika and Joshua. She comms Rina and holds her comm up so Nika and Joshua can listen by leaning in.

Kiera: You gotta bring her. Cuz they ain’t comin’ down without her.
