Late!Fail. But I have an excuse: I had to do this Science thing for school. That is all~

Church was glad that Tex was back.

Yeah, he probably should have warned Tucker about Tex, but it was worth it if she left everyone else alone.

It was probably a bit strange that he was glad she was back, but at the same time scared that she was going to beat him up.

But that's Tex for you.

Tex had to admit: being alive was better than being dead.

Not that she was ever going to admit that to Church.

And being able to deck the Sword Guy did feel good, though not as good as the major beating and/or ball punching she did before.

And it wasn't my fault they all sucked at fighting.

Sarge didn't think that backing away from Tex was cowardly. Not at all. He thought of it as a strategic tactical advantage over the Blues.

The further away they were from Tex, the better they could, uh, see her. And the better they saw her meant that they could actively assess the threat level, and still be at a relatively safe distance.

Maybe I can convince Grif to go a little closer for recon…

Tucker really hated being hit to the ground. Even if the person who hit him was a girl, it still hurt all the same, maybe even a bit more because the odds were that said girl would probably never sleep with him were high.

What did I even do?

Doc feared for Wash's sanity.

A floating head? Wasn't talking to floating body-parts one of the first signs of madness? Probably.

Poor Wash. I guess working without over-time must have had more effect on him than I thought!

Grif really didn't care about the situation. In fact, he actually preferred being dead.

If you were dead then you'd never have to do anything. You'd just sit around in heaven all day, drinking beer and watching TV. That was what heaven was all about, wasn't it?

But none of that stopped him from backing away from the possibly volatile Freelancer as she woke up.

I said I preferred being dead, not that I wanted to die!

Caboose didn't like it when Tucker went to sleep on the job. It wasn't fair that Church always let Tucker do it, but when Caboose had asked, Church had just shouted at him.

Even thought Tucker had been hit by the mean, punchy shark-lady, it didn't mean that he got nap-time while Caboose had to stay awake.

Stupid Tucker shouldn't be allowed nap time.

Simmons backed up, keeping the door in sight just in case he had to make a quick escape.

The Blues were completely nuts for even considering waking her up after everything they had done to stop her in the first place.

And there is no way I'm dying again. I still have so much non-computer stuff to do!

Wash watched as the Meta got to work, considering Doc's words.

Could he really have imagined the floating eye?

Had he finally lost it?

Was Doc right about something for once?

I sure fucking hope not!
