<div align="center"> Natasha (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=87320.msg3855975#msg3855975)<br/></div><br/>It has only been two days since Mal had her on board and already there was a family feel about the crew.Being in space for a long time did strange things to people but as social dynamics go this crew was about as good as one could hope for.<br/><br/>Natasha's last mission with the alliance was to capture river, something all in the ship likely knew or suspected but unknown to the alliance Natasha had other plans, found mal and begged to be part of whatever could frustrate their efforts for control.<br/><br/>Currently Natasha's ship which she had not returned had its navigation locked and synchronized in into Serenity which it followed about twenty seconds behind. What Natasha had on board was pretty minimal. Natash was wealthy, but was itching to convert her credits into something more tangible.<br/><br/>But being accepted as one of them was her highest priority. Natasha had spent too much of her time alone to easily recall friendships but watching River and Jayne helped, perhaps it will come. More awkwardly though Natasha wasn't like most women and did eye up all while thinking of thoughts typically reserved for teenagers. Natasha was a gonadal hermaphrodite, it wasn't small either, nothing feminine about it. Something she was being used to being teased about at school and being called a freak over more times than she could count. She wore a suit which didn't make it too obvious but any who would look there more than just in passing would notice. How gorgeous everyone seemed didn't help - Natasha considered asking their doctor if it was possible for him to knock up some tablets to repress her erections but Simon and Natasha so far had barely talked. Not exactly something Natasha felt like talking to anyone about, let alone someone that has to live with you.<br/><br/>So far it seemed simon and Kaylee were a couple, and it was obvious Simon was Rivers older brother anything else or particulars Natasha was clueless.<br/><br/>Natasha helped herself to a dish of vegetables and nodded respectively to each in turn.<br/><br/>"I can understand why the Alliance was so keen to get River back. I read her file.<br/>The sections I was cleared to see anyway. It was about as long as one gets."<br/><br/>She was dangerous but so cute though.<br/><br/>"Never would have thought something that looked so innocent could have so many warnings about her. They offered to tripple my wealth if I managed to bring her in alive, double it if she was dead and my bank accounts pretty impressive. Even with the news about Miranda out they still want her. Whatever she is aware of has them really scared, and anything that annoys the alliance I wan't to be part of. My family was on Miranda. All my relations gone thanks to their desires to control the universe. I'm glad I'm a part of this crew."<br/>
