out into the black

[Pruneau]

Good read, although I am not familiar with the ruleset or the setting just yet.  Is it a SciFi Western setting?  and what's with the Chinese?

I'll have to have a hard look at it.  Found the website and it looks cool!

A one series programme that was pulled after only one, best sci fi programme about, (Well I like it anyway) it does look like NAthan Fillion is trying to buy the rights to the concept, so in theory we may have more, fingers crossed

Its too much.  I can't cope with the overwhelming lovely...

I can see how I come to love Kaylee at least! 

The nude dude's hiney was a surprise as well, but with a plus: the Mrs. always complains about not enough male nudity on TV, and she's always happy to see a nice pair of firm stud buttocks 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Just the best shot ever!
You used to be able to download wallpaper of it from her own website too... Not checked for a while...  

Damn I really wantt o watch Serenity now, but my daughter is playing Mario Cart on the Wii!!

When we last left our heroic crew, they were holed up in Mr Hunt's ranch house after spotting a body at around 200 yards.
This wee we started off with the plan to go out in the dark and see who the body belonged to.
Alice dragged a table up against the window and set up his high powered rifle and the captain bravely stepped out into the dark. Toad was asked to sort through the bills of sale and money in the cellar and shepherd Bell was asked to get all of her medical equipment ready, get water on the boil etc.

As the captain moved out into the darkness Alice spotted a large shape in some bushes. He radioed this info to the captain who also spotted the shape. He took the safety off his shotgun but kept on going

he got to the body and tried to ascertain who it was, the Green of the image intensifier goggles made this difficult, but it did look like the late Mr Hunt. As the captain was searching the pockets the large animal made it's move. With an angry roar it leapt forwards. Alice fired and hit true, but the round made no impact. The captain made a tactical withdrawal towards Alice who kept firing and doing absolutely no damage at all. The huge animal kept coming, to within range of the captain's shotgun which was put to good use, but again no damage. Eventually the giant bear fell 9 yards away from the captain, who then made his way back into the house for some fried chicken, coffee and a change of underwear. Mr Hunt had been part eaten, it looked like one of his own dogs had got him, but whether he had been cut, or shot like the others would have to wait until morning.

At about an hour before sunrise Alice noticed a vehicle using infra red headlights approaching from the rear. I turned just at maximum range of his night vision goggles. Basically if he hadn't been ex-military then he would never have noticed. This was some form of covert insertion. Everyone readied themselves for an assault. A few minutes later, they were asked to lay down their arms and come out eith their hands up. The captain pointed out that there were some big dogs out there. A voice calmly replied that they new that and they had the situation under control. The shepherd went out to negotiate and was fired upon, either they all came out or nobody came out.
Toad came up from the cellar and looked around the cabin and set to work making a compressed air mortar that fired tin cans filled with ground pepper. (well he does have the MacGyver edge)

Nobody thought to look out the front windows for quite a while, luckily they spotted the insurgents as they moved forwards.

Alice carefully took aim and his high powered compressed air weapon spat and down went his target with no sound at all. Two casualties later the bad guys realised something was amiss and the remaining 13 opened fire. Luckily the house had strong shutters and a barred door so no one was hurt. Eventually however, the numbers attacking meant that the gunfight got to close range. The pepper mortar was used and worked perfectly, however it seemed to do no damage. Rifles and shotguns were poked through the damaged shutters and characters were hit at point blank range, however with numerous bennies still held all wounds were soaked.
The remaining few attackers made a fighting withdrawal. And were very quickly cut down. Shepherd bell having just had her bible shot lost her temper and belted one of the bad guys with a shovel full of hot coals.
Toad yanked open the door and gave chase after the remaining baddy. He was just rounding the corner of the barn when he heard snarling and a horrendous scream. He turned the corner and fired at the huge dog ripping the man to shreds. The dog looked up, blood dripping from its snout and charged. Toad fired a couple more times but did no damage. Just as the dog was about to make its final leap, the shepherd arrived with her shovel and set about the dog.
Toad fired and shook the dog, the shepherd wound herself up and let rip. With a mighty swing the shovel struck the dog full under the chin, snapping it's mighty neck.
They all locked themselves into the house again and reloaded. Sure enough they noticed another vehicle at the extreme range of the night vision equipment. Something seemed to come out of the back, something big on four legs.  Another search of the dog cages showed a ladder into a loft with a large speaker and something akin to a cd player. They switched it on and it seemed like nothing happened apart from the needle on the machine flickering wildly. Moments later a howling was heard, getting closer and closer. Within minutes the huge dog had returned to its cage and was locked in from the switches in the loft.
The dog was despatched and as sunlight arrived they searched the bodies, each of the attackers was wearing or carrying a grotesque mask, which in the dark would look just like something like a reaver would look like.

As they got back to the Jo Lyn they found footprints  all around the ship. A quick search found a grenade attached to a block of plastic explosives inserted in the engine intake. Anyone trying to take off with it in situ would have led to a catastrophic explosion.

Next week they get to meet a reaver
