The crazy man was saying crazy things to her, but everyone else around was nodding. Some people were peeing at the shuttle, but most were drifting away. Like she wasn't important. In the grand scheme of things, she really probably wasn't, but Kaylee couldn't imagine not helpin' someone who'd crashed and just needed a simple part!
"Earth-that-Was don't exist no more," she told him. "So this is either some sorta re-enactment or ta me da, I'm in hell." She swallowed. "We was flyin' outta Boros headin' anywhere, I guess, and I was just fixin' a few things. We wasn't near any planets, and I think I know all of 'em by now." She was getting more and more nervous. She looked around again. No sign of the Cap'n. He should be here by now.
"Okay," she said quietly, her face crumpling. "D'you maybe have a comm link I could use to contact a Firefly? It's my ship and my Cap'n'll be all worried about me, specially if he can't find the shuttle. I think the radar's been shot on her too, I don't know, but if you could get me to a mechanic shop and then maybe a comm link. She'll be safe here, you think, yeah? Ain't nothin' worth takin' outta her anyway. I can lock her up good and all unless there's a dock? I didn't see none when I was comin' in."
