[ Okay, so he's not wearing a shirt. But he's got his pants and gun belt on, weapons all secure so there's that at least. And he's pissed as he glares at the damn device. ]

This ain't mine.

[ Pause. Shrug. The device is tucked into his pocket. ]

Takin' the gorram thing anyway. If folks're gonna be dumb enough ta leave their things with mine, I ain't lookin' ta give it back. Nice lookin' anyhow. Sell it fer somethin'.

[ Pause. There's shuffling as he puts on his shirt. ]

Right. Got 'em all.

[ Pause. ]

Now where's the gorram ship?

It belongs to you, Jayne Cobb.

[The voice that sounds from the computer is feminine, but just a little off, lacking any of the humour or irritation that should be present in that statement.]

[ Pause. Jayne looks around before realizing the voice came from his pocket. He pulls it back out and looks at it. ]

... the hell?

[Audio]

[outer_npcs]

It is a communication device. All passengers are assigned one.

[Audio]

[be_in_my_bunk]

[ Pause. ]

I ain't no passenger. I ain't stickin' 'round here. Goin' back to my own gorram ship.

[Audio]

[outer_npcs]

You are incorrect. You are a passenger on this vessel. The vessel on which you previously served is not present in this reality coil.

[Audio]

[be_in_my_bunk]

I ain't stayin'. Goin' to the gorram whatever you called it ta get back on my ship.

[ Tiny pause. ]

'less yer payin' me ta stay.

[Humans. Always in such a hurry to get away.]

You cannot breach the boundaries between realities unaided. Even if you were capable, you wouldn't survive attempting to traverse the breach.

[Audio]

[be_in_my_bunk]

[ Okay, he caught about half of that, but he may have gotten the jest of it. ]

Well if you ain't payin', I ain't stayin'.

[Audio]

[outer_npcs]

You do not have a choice in the matter.

[Audio]

[be_in_my_bunk]

You show yer face 'round, I'll show how I do got the choice here.

[Audio]

[outer_npcs]

You overestimate your capabilities. If you attempt to traverse a rift between the dimensions, you. will. die.

[Audio]

[be_in_my_bunk]

Been told I was gonna die lots'a times and I ain't gone yet. Don't scare me none.
