006 // Accidental voice post
[Transmission switches on. Two sets of footsteps on wood, wind, and the sound of Ned and Henrietta having a hesitant but friendly conversation. Suddenly, there is a scuffling, and the sound of someone falling heavily. Ned's voice is startled.]

[When he speaks again, his voice is quiet and deeply hurt] Shit.
[Henrietta speaks tentatively] Sir? [A pause, the rustle of paper.] ...Um.
[There is again the sound of movement as Ned slips in front of Henrietta to shield her. His voice is stony.] Don't.
Sir? What is it? [After a short pause, the sound cuts out]

Inara's on the upper deck, and. [Said very quietly] Oh, God.
Just - someone get up here. Quickly. Please.
