Subject: Day 1, Mei Long’s Fine Dining, 7:00 PM PT
Noodle houses in general are not places that Wyatt considers upscale. Historically speaking, Sung hadn't been in a noodle house that required a month's wages to reserve a table, but he's pretty sure that he'd just entered one.
"Phew this place sure seems popular.", Asher whispers after they had tucked their weapons away and put their names on the waiting list.
"Must be some pretty jing chai noodles," Wyatt acknowledges as a young hostess approaches them with a pleasant smile.
"Captain Wyatt Sung and Guests? Your table is ready. Right this way. Have you ever been to Mei Long's before?"
Wyatt catches the Kid's sideways look and delivers one of his own that warns the young man to be cautious before proceeding down the corridor with Willow on his arm to a private room. The hostess opens the door, bows and motions them to go in. Obligingly, Captain Sung steps through first; in part to make certain he was able to shield Willow from potential harm, and in part to be able to quickly assess the situation and react should there be a need.
Three beings are the first thing that registers with him (OOC: Perception and Intuition checks please). Almost instantly are the easy-going stances of the two flanking the one. Then, it occurs to him that they are all female—Alliance—and one is an officer. The woman at the table is a looker. Her black hair, pale complexion and almond eyes show her heritage. She appears to be too young to have been in the war, but she was still an Alliance officer, and that doesn't sit well with the captain.
She stands and bows in a formal, polite manner, "Good day. You must be Captain Wyatt Sung, Asher Talhone, and of course, Willow Takahara. You bring great honor to myself by accepting my invitation so swiftly. I am Colonel Sally Wu, commander of the alliance outpost here on Serenity Views."
"I'm sorry, Colonel," Sung states dryly. "Invitation?"
"Yes," She looks at him with large, captivating eyes. "I sent you an invitation to join me tonight in honor of your fallen comrade and the exemplary work you did on LV-426. Many would have run, but you stood your ground for others. That is worthy of..."
The door to the room opens slightly causing Wyatt to tense up a bit—not enough for anyone else to notice, but enough that he could spring into action should the need arise—and a blonde woman pokes her head into the room. She nods to Colonel Wu and Sally nods back.
"Right," she interrupts herself as the blond leaves. "We are free to talk. Please sit and join me for dinner. We have much to discuss, starting with what your business is with Virgil Morningstar?"
Tilting his head a little to the right, Wyatt steps forward and casually pulls a chair out for Willow while meeting Colonel Wu's inquiring gaze. He doesn't figure the Alliance officer is being forthright, and he's not cottoning to the impression that the woman set of being honored to have them join her for dinner. Truth be told, Wyatt doubts that they would have had any choice in attending the meal had they not just happened onto the same place she'd intended to interrogate them at.
Once the good doctor has been seated, Sung pulls out his own chair and unceremoniously drops into it, dropping the ankle of his right leg across the knee of his left and pushing his hat back on his head. "Virgil Morningstar?" he says with a disinterested expression on his tanned face. "He that fellow that we met with today, Willow? The one up in that house there?
"Well, Ma'am, we ain't too keen on losin' limbs ‘n life t' unexploded ordinance in the Valley an' we was told that he's the man t' talk with if'n we want t' find our way through without exploding some. That's the extent of it."
Removing his hat from his head, Sung places it on his right knee and runs his left hand through his stiffled hair. "Truth be told, Ma'am; this here rock ain't exactly one o' my favorite places in the ‘Verse. So, I'd just as soon bury the Ol' Warhorse with whatever honors me an' my crew can give, pick up another contract, an' be on my way. We're not lookin' t' involve ourselves in nothing further, an' most certainly ain't looking fer no trouble.
"Didn't get no invitation. We was out an' about. However, now's we're here perhaps you could point out what's t' have an' what's not t' have on the menu?"

Subject: Our Play...
"What's your play Captain?"
Hard, steel eyes locked onto the nearest of their watchers for a brief couple of seconds before Sung replaced the comm unit in his coat pocket and turned them towards the noodle house.
"Let's play it easy, Mei Mei. Maybe it'll draw 'em into showin' their hand. But best we're all together when they lay 'em down in my opinion." Scanning the streets and rooftops for signs of anyone else they should be aware of, Wyatt slyly added, "And it don't hurt none that we have full bellies when it comes t' it.
"Jus' don't let yer guard down, an' trust no one."

Subject: Day 1, Walking in Serenity Views, 6:50 PM PT
Only a few minutes after leaving Morningstar's compound Wyatt became aware that they were the object of some unwanted attention. Picking the observers out in the crowd isn't difficult as they aren't trying very hard to be inconspicuous. There are Alliance men always somewhere within view—down the street, across the way, just a single officer acutely watching them. Not one to run from a fight, Wyatt finally stopped and stared back.
"Don't look like we're gonna receive the same type o' treatment in Serenity Views as we done received in Osiris," the captain let his gaze indicate the accompanying information. "Ya know somethin'? That noodle house does sound good."
That being said, Wyatt redirects them from their path back to Rocinante and starts navigating to the restaurant. Using the personal comm unit he has to communicate with the ship, Wyatt delivers the message that they're dining out tonight and anyone that wants to join them is welcome to.
As soon as he finishes his message another comes back: "Hey Captain, you there?"
"I am."
"This is Jade, I just wanted to let you know that I am not at the ship, I am very close to the junk yard. One of the local told me about how there been an issue of people going missing and I am checking into it, I should return back with the ship with more information."
Wyatt lifts the comm to his mouth to respond, but pauses and looks to Willow and Asher. "Did she jus' say she was lookin' into missin' people? Alone?"
(OOC: assuming something to the affirmative...)
"That's what I thought." Activating the comm, Captain Sung says, "Jade, listen here. We got company watchin' us with a very intentful eye that I don't imagine is keen on seein' if we're the type they want t' invite t' a local ball. I'm not keen on you runnin' off on yer own niether, so why don'tcha come on over to the noodle house and we'll talk 'bout what you were set on. Dohn la ma?"

Topic: Voyages of Rocinante - Serenity/Firefly RPG
Subject: I live to confuse people! Victory is nigh!
"What my dear captain means, " Willow interjected smoothly," is that we hope you've received word of our mission. Captain Havelock's family has received Alliance permission to put him to rest in Serenity Valley, among his men. We understand you've mapped some of the Valley and may be able to help us accomplish this safely. Have we understood correctly? "
Morningstar looked confused by Wyatt's opening but then clarity came to his face as Willow explained further. "Havelock!" He said aloud, "Oh yeah. I got a wave from a Federal Marshall about Havelock." he returned to his desk and began punching on the screen of the cortex box.
"Captain Havelock." The Shepherd said, "I read about him and a group of transport crew that found against a mercenary band. " Was that you people?"
Shrugged shoulders could be taken any which way and that's what Wyatt Sung settled for. Noncommittal and yet at the same time not denying the deed. For all intents and purposes, unless it put credits in their hands, fuel in the tank, and food on the table Captain Sung didn't care much if anyone had heard of them or what they went through.
"Mighty brave of you. Standing against so many for the lives of a group of people you never knew before you rescued them." He continued, "Were you well rewarded in the end?"
"We lost a good man," a warm flare had been set off in his stomach by the comment as though reward was what they'd done it for. "Truth of the matter was, we did what had t' be done in order t' survive. Heroin' usually get's ya killed. It doesn't keep yer ship in the sky an' yer crew fed."
"I would have thought that after saving so many rich and generous folks that you be living large and putting the fright trade behind you?"
Sung sent Willow a look that was as much pleading for her to cut the questioning off as asking whether a Shepard was supposed to be that keen on finances.
"Aha!" Virgil called out, "Yes I do have a letter here for a Colonel Sanders. Oh my!" Virgil face fell a bit, "he was with the 42nd Infantry. " He exchanged a look of dread with the Shepherd who walked over to look over his shoulder. Carson also grimaced. "Sorry to say that records are a bit sketchy and frankly we have more markers out there with no name than we have ones with. The good news is we know where the 42nd is but the bad news is they area is not cleared of ordinance."
Morningstar turned the screen around so everyone could see. There were marked areas on the map for units and some were in green, others in red. The 42nd was in the red zone but not too far from the green edge. "Now I can ask Jon to get some of his boys together, have them go out in the morning to clear and area to the 42nd and you can lay him to rest by the afternoon assuming there ain't no hitches. If there is, well it should be much longer than that. He has come a long way, I'd rather see him in the right place. Are you in a hurry?"
"Perhaps Virgil could get you a few complimentary rooms at the hotels in town? Or we have a five star Noodle House in town?" Shepherd Carson suggests quietly.
"Actually," Wyatt drawled not unkindly. "Stickin' 'round a bit might provide me an' mine with some time t' line up our next set o' fares. An' while I appreciate yer offer of hospitality, it ain't necessary. Thank you kindly all the same. You can drop a wave our way when it's safe t' take Havelock home. 'Til then, I don't plan on muckin' about much so you can find us back at our ship if'n ya need us."

"Thank you Jon. Good Evening to you," The Man in White says and offers his hand, "I'm Virgil Morningstar and this here is Shepherd Wiley Carson. How can we help you?"
With that, Connor nods politely and leaves the room.
Wyatt respectfully removes his hat and holds it in his left hand while shaking Morningstar's offer of greeting with his right."Shepard," he acknowledoes in kind.
"I appreciate you takin' this meetin' Mr. Morningstar. We was instructed t' see you 'fore delivering the Old Warhorse t' his final resting place in Serenity Valley. Told you'd have the know-how t' get us through the dangers tHat be."
