No power in the 'verse… (Part 4)

"You ok there?" Mal looked at the rather shocked man before him, "You look like you've seen a ghost?"

"Sorry." Spike shook his head, "You look like someone I knew once, a real long time ago."

"Bad memory?"

"You could say that..."

"Anyway: River tells me you want to hire us to take you somewhere."

"Yes: I need to get to Summer as soon as possible, and with the minimum of Alliance interference."

"As in the 4th moon of Zeus? That's a long way, very expensive. Can you afford it?"

"How's 500-platanum now, another 1000 when we land sound?"

"Sounds like you got a ship then, Mr.?"

"Spike, Spike Williams."
