They watch it and hope it doesn’t come near us. We’ve powered down almost all the way but we run back aboard and turn off all the lights. It’s a tense night filled with anxiety over being found by Reavers.  The next day, they watch Blue Sun and Burnham rise and the daylight gives them hope they’ve dodged the bullet.<br><br>

Like plotting those naked posed photos, the gag tattoos, the penciled-in mustaches or the shaved off eyebrows.  Like the woman said, fun time’s over.<br><br>

Those of us who’ve been asleep find our wounds and assorted hurts have pretty much healed up in the interim but none of us feel at our best.  We’re all groggy, gritty-eyed, grouchy, twitchy, and our mouths feel and taste like we’ve been sucking on the same dirty wool sock for a week.<br><br>

Meanwhile, Joshua and Rina are walking in the city outside.  The city is kinda depressing.  It just ran down like a clock that has ground slowly to a stop. Wandering a bit more widely from the ship, they come across what appears to be an entrance to an underground structure.  A basement? A tunnel? A subway, perhaps?  Joshua and Rina walk by it and Joshua stops, drawn to it.  It’s broad daylight and Rina’s already hinked—she knows Joshua can be sensitive to emotional and psychic residues and Miranda must be crammed to bursting with both.  Which is why she insisted on going out with him.  If the planet was going to make him wig out, she wants to be the one to cosh him unconscious and carry him back to the ship.  She eyes Joshua’s pause and abrupt change of course warily.<br><br>

Joshua slips her grasp and runs down the steps. Rina pulls out her flashlight, turns it on, and holds it under her drawn gun as she follows Joshua below ground. Joshua turns and says to her over his shoulder:<br><br>

She stows her gun, steps up to the doors, and starts pulling her tools from her pockets. She gets the doors open and a gust of stale malodorous air hits their faces. The doors are stiff and as they muscle them aside, the rocking of the car sends some of the bodies falling to the floor.  Joshua feels drawn to the rear of the car where it’s still covered by the subway tunnel and Rina moves with him, praying that nothing inside the car is playing possum.<br><br>
