Firefly to Serenity

Chapter 2: The Slight Problem

The search wasn't fruitful at all as the two searched quietly. So far, not even the doctor produced anything.

"Anything?" Hoseok asked as Yoongi walked into the Mess Hall and sat down next to him with some food.

"Not a damn thing, so what could it be? What's drawing the New Alliance to us?" Yoongi said as he sat down and then clamped up about the topic as the passengers were walking in.

"A signal maybe?"

"Maybe, but who is doing it and how?"

"I don't know,"

"Hey, let's all just eat, worry about it later," Namjoon said as he walked into and sat down too. The other three passengers joining them.
There was Shin, a salaryman who was working for a finance company Gwacheondori where ARMY was docked for a quick pit stop to pick up supplies and drop off some supplies and one order.
Jungkook had been sitting outside scoping people out as he had done before. People always fell for his boyish charm.

This time there were three passengers, so Shin, and then there was Moira, a casino owner who needed some rare special supplies that were only found in Liberty, and then of course, there was Jimin, the doctor.

In the mess hall of ARMY, the crew and the passengers were happily eating away while making a bit of idle conversation.

"So, how long until we reach Liberty?" Jimin asked as he dug into his dinner.

"Hopefully just a few hours from now, maybe seven, six if we push it," Namjoon answered.

"Great,"

"And, and, will you be, be going elsewhere after this?" Shin, the other passenger, asked.

"Oh, find more jobs," Namjoon said, the usual, "Why?"

"I, I may need further transport la...later, and I was, was wondering if you, you, were staying,"

"Maybe, and how about you doctor?"

"Me?" Jimin asked, "Oh, I and my cargo will head to the outer rim, precious cargo, and I'm sure it'll benefit being away from the New Alliance,"

"Why come with us to Liberty then? Place is crawling with New Alliance,"

"Just some things to pick up from the hospital is all,"

"Weird," Jackson muttered as he finally showed up to join everyone there, sitting next to Moira as he winked at her, she smiled back at him.

Namjoon rolled his eyes; he knew that look. Jackson was going to have a dalliance with the woman.

"Jackson, come, sit," Namjoon said, "How are the skies looking?"

"Clear enough,"

"Informative,"

"Just anxious is all, I want to do more work than be a passenger freight,"

"Fair, but we go where the money is and right now, it's passengers,"

"Least this ain't as bad as when we had that Shepard on board, what's his name?"

"Shepherd Bang PD," Namjoon said, "Gives me some faith when I don't know what to fully believe anymore,"

"Whatever,"

"What's eating you?"

"Can't say in front of passengers,"

"Ah,"

Everyone kept eating before Jimin finished first, "Thank you so much for the food, I'm a little tired, so, I'd like to retire for some rest, if you need me, I'll be in my cabin," he said as he got up, bowed, and then loaded his things into the dishwasher.
