Wash sat comfortably in front of Serenity's navigation console, he watched the flashing lights tick away as the ship coasted through the endless miles of space. Somewhere hundreds of miles behind them Jubal Early was free floating in space, just waiting for his air supply to run out. Glad to be heading onto the next rock and job, Wash fiddled with some of the dials before he gave the helm a slight push forward. He could hear the pleasant hum of Serenity's engines as the ship plunged ever forward.

A faint beeping coming from the radar caught his attention and immediate worry crossed his mind. He took extreme care in plotting their courses, with River and Simon aboard it was clear they had to stay out of Alliance patrolled areas. If the strange reading he was getting wasn't alliance, then it could only mean Reavers - which was just as bad, if not worse. However, the reading got stranger. Whatever, it was gave off no heat signatures or life readings. He wanted at least an idea of what to tell Mal before he called him out of bed.

"Wuh de ma!" Wash shouted loudly as he noticed the strange anomaly seemed to pick up speed. With a quick calculation Wash figured it'd be on top of the ship in just under a few moments. When he looked up to try and catch a visual, Wash noticed the space in front of the ship begin to swirl and all he could do was hang on to the helm and hope that this thing wasn't about to break the ship into a million pieces. He left one hand firmly on the wheel and reached for the com, Mal had to know what was going on and quite frankly if this was going to be his last moment alive a kiss from his wife wouldn't be so bad either.

Just as he hit the button, Serenity gave a lurch as it passed through swirling vortex thingy. The sudden movement had caught Wash off his guard and caused him to tumble out of his chair. The last thing he remembered was feeling cold metal against his head, and everything becoming all dizzy. Like he was being sucked down a drain of sorts.

Falling rain and the feeling of being extremely cold and wet greeted Wash when he woke up. Confused and a bit fuzzy in the head due to the rather large bump he had on his forehead only added to this entirely strange ordeal. When he got to his feet and actually took the time to look around, Wash was not only more confused, but shocked as well. There seemed to be a faire of sorts going on, and if Wash saw correctly there seemed to be midget like monsters running around. This wasn't normal! He stood there, drenched and mouth agape. "Wuh de tyen, ah! I'm not in Kanas anymore."
