Kaylee, Alexis and River have been sitting in the engine room since Inara left which is where Mal finds them 20 minutes later.
"There you three are." Mal tells them looking in and seeing the three sitting in the corner.
"Here we are." Kaylee says as Mal walks over to them.
"Alexis, I have a contact of mine who can hack into the Alliance data base and add your details, so if something happens you will be in the data base you'll also get an indent card." Mal tells his daughter.
"What about everyone else?' Alexis asks curious.
"My guy can only do one at a time and the attempts have to be a little apart so at the moment it's just yours. " Mal explains feeling like Alexis is the person who needs to be added to the data base first.
"What do you need?" Alexis asks.
"I just need to take a picture of you with a special camera, and I want to explain a few things to you, your name will be Alexis Inara Reynolds your still ok with that right?" he asks, Alexis nods then he continues "Your birthdate will be the same but it will change to the year 2501." Mal begins to explain but is then cut off by Alexis.
"You've had history with the Alliance and the war, how are you going to explain me not being with you in the past?" Alexis asks.
"That's simple you were living with Mother, she lived such a secluded life that it's not surprising that you weren't seen and the story is going to be I didn't just get mother off Whitefull but you two." Mal explains.
"What about who my mother is? You can't exactly put a name down." Alexis asks.
"Your birthplace is going to be Shadow, where your mothers' name is meant to go it won't say anything it was quite common during the time your meant to be born on planets like Shadow to leave one parents name blank in part to annoy the alliance in part for security reasons." Mal explains.
"It won't look odd will it?" Alexis asks not wanting it to be obvious that it was hacked and forged.
"Not at all." Mal tells his daughter.
"When do you need the photo taken?" Alexis asks.
"Now." Mal tells her as it needs to be done as soon as possible.
"Sure." Alexis says standing up and following her Dad out of the engine room only stopping to tell something to Kaylee and River "Be back soon."
The father and daughter walk to the cargo bay where they see everyone else standing in front of a blank wall.
"This is the place that looks most like the wall they use to take Ident photos." Zoe says to Mal and Alexis as they walk up.
Alexis stands in front of the wall and gets her picture taken.
"Ok, Zoe, Kate boys your with me we're goin to see Badger see when he wants to swap the goods, I'll see my guy on the way back, get you into the system Alexis, then we'll preform the swap." Mal tells everyone who is in the cargo bay.
"Be careful." Alexis says hugging her dad.
"I will." Mal tells her. "Remember go see Simon or Lanie if you don't feel right." Mal tells his daughter.
"I will." Alexis tells her father. "Bye Love you Dad." She says heading back to the engine room.

Inara lands her shuttle at the bay where she is meant to park for her client. Usually she enjoys her work but isn't so much anymore she would rather be on Serenity with Alexis, Kaylee and River this stop, if it wasn't for the fact that she is under probation from the guild, after the whole Miranda issue and what happened at the tanning house she would be. They are not too happy with her; she was called to a meeting a few days after Mal left. Zoe is the only person who knows she is on probation, though she assumes that River also knows, she hasn't told anyone else those who were there when the meeting occurred just think that she had a talking to, part of her probation is to see continue to see clients and the house will monitor how many she does see and she knows the number is on the low side recently so that is why she is here seeing clients instead of back on Serenity with her three girls.

"You work fast." Badger tells him.
"Where do you want to make the swap?" Mal asks.
"Not going to introduce me to you new crew." Badger asks looking at Kate, Ryan and Esposito
"That's Kate, Ryan and Esposito." Mal tells him. "Now the swap?"
"Tonight north side of the docks 2100 hours." Badger tells him "The crates for the coin."
Mal nods, and they all leave.
"Y'all head back to the boat, I got something I need to do." Mal tells them and they all nod and head back to Serenity.

Alexis, Kaylee and River are once again in the engine room talking when Simon comes to find them.
"Kaylee, I was wondering do you want to go planet side with me." Simon asks her clearly nervous.
"She's meet you down in the cargo hold in 5 minutes." Alexis answers before Kaylee can.
"See you there." Simon says happily.
"Lexis!" Kaylee says when Simon is out of seeing and hearing range.
"You want to go Kay, I know you do, Rivi and I can look after ourselves for a little while can't we?" Alexis asks River.
"You want to go, you should Lexis and I will be fine." River tells Kaylee.
"Ok then, bye." Kaylee says running out the engine room.
"Looks like it's just me and you." Alexis says to River. "What do you want to do?" she asks.
"Games in the cargo bay?" River suggests.
"Sounds fun." Alexis says getting up.
"Race you there." River says running off.
"Not fair, I can't run as fast as you." Alexis says getting up and following her.

While Kate, Zoe, Ryan, Jayne and Esposito head back to serenity Mal goes to meet his contact who can hack into the Alliance computers to add Alexis to the data bases.
"Malcolm." His contact says.
"Can you do it?" Mal asks.
"Of course do you have the details?"
"Of course." Mal says handing over a piece of paper.
The man works on his computer for a little while.
"Done, here's the indent card." The man says handing over the card.
"Thank you." Mal says.
"Why are you thanking me this never happened." The man says before burning the piece of paper and disappearing.

After a little while Lanie, Wash and Jenny come and join them while Martha, Jim and Shepard Book watch, when the person on the platform hits you stand to the side until everyone else have gotten out then the last person left goes on the platform, currently Alexis is on the platform, Jenny is out and Lanie, Wash and River are still in.
"You look like you're having fun." Zoe says walking in.
"We are why don't you join us." Alexis suggest walking down from the platform.
"What's the point of this game?" Kate asks.
"Dodge the ball." River explains.
"Where's Kaylee and Simon?" Ryan asks as for the last month Kaylee, Alexis and River have almost always been together.
"They went planet side for a date." Alexis explains.
"So y'all in?" Wash asks.
"Why not." Zoe answers shrugging.
"I'll get back up there." Alexis says running back up to the platform.
They continue to play for a while then when Mal comes back he gets hit just as he walks back in.
"You're out Dad." Alexis tells him.
"I just got here how can I be out?" Mal asks confused.
"You got hit, you now out." River explains to him.
"No way, I get one more chance." Mal objects.
"Because you just walked in then fine." Alexis says going back up on the platform.

"Up for more coin?' Badger asks.
"Can't got to get to Ariel, have some business to do." Mal tells him.
"Well this is you lucky day, I have someone who wants to get something of that very plant of course that is a difficult thing." Badger tells him.
"I'm listernin." Mal tells him.
"Thomas Hwuang, I'll send him word that your comin he contact you." Badger tells Mal.
Mal nods and they turn and head back to Serenity.
When they arrive back at Serenity they are greeted by Alexis, Kaylee and River. Mal gives his daughter a hug and kiss on the cheek and gives Kaylee and River a hug also.
"Wash when is Inara meant to be back?" Mal asks as Wash enters the cargo bay.
"Mid-day tomorrow." Wash answers.
"Well then until then, y'all do what you wish." Mal tells them.
"How long does it take to get to Ariel?" Ryan asks
"3-4 days." Mal tells him "Now go do what you want." Mal tells them.
"Jayne, Ryan, Esposito, Wash, want to play a game of spaceball against us seeing as you couldn't beat us in a prank war?" Kaylee asks.
"No prank wars." Mal yells back as he walks away with Kate not wanting to deal with the fall out of that again.
"We won't." Alexis yells back to her dad.
"I'm referring make sure none of you cheat." Zoe says.
Shepard Book, Martha, Jim, Lanie and Jenny go and stand on the platform to watch the game between them.

While everyone else is in the cargo bay Mal and Kate are upstairs having a nice dinner then spend some time together just the two of them
Firefly/Castle Firefly/Castle Firefly/Castle Firefly/Castle
Everyone spends the next morning just relaxing doing things that they usually don't have time for. Simon, Alexis, Kaylee and River spend most of it boosting to the boys that they won though that was more due to the fact that they work amazingly together and each of the boys were more concerned with being the star.
Ryan and Jenny and Wash and Zoe spend time in their respective bunks just being together. Kate and Mal spend some time walking around Persephone, Mal showing Kate a little bit about what his world is like.
Esposito, Lanie, Martha, Jim and Shepard Book spend time talking and playing poker in the dining area, Shepard Book and Martha teaching the others how to play there version.

"Inara welcome back." Wash tells her.
"Thanks, no trouble was there?" She asks curious.
"Surprisingly no." Wash tells her.
"Everyone is on Captain." Wash says over the intercom to Mal.
"Then let's go." Mal tells him
And at that Serenity fly's off into the sky on its way deep into the core.
