trans_9 | Punishment [Warning: Graphic Imagery]

As the ship was going about its normal business of the day, everything is interrupted when Stacy broadcasts a message to the crew.

||Attention, crew. Your crew mate, Big Zero, has acquired 15 Violations. Therefore, she will now be given Punishment. According to the guidelines in place for Punishment, you are hereby requested to report to the Observation Deck to view the procedure. Though it is not mandatory, it is suggested you attend anyway.||

||It will serve as a reminder that there are consequences to breaking the rules.||

For those brave souls who decide to attend, they'd find Big Zero strung up, dangling from the ceiling of the Obs Deck by her hands, surrounded by a spherical force field.

It was to prevent anyone from...interfering.

"Come on, let's get out of here," Kang glanced over at the huddled form of BZ, and the people that were trying to help her. He wondered if this would actually make her learn her lesson, or make her even worse than she was before. Hell, she may not even recover mentally from torture like that.

"You still have tea on Serenity, right? That might help you."

It was hard to imagine anyone recovering from something so obviously awful. Kaylee was reminded almost of Reavers, and how they tortured and killed and left that one survivor with just enough insanity in them to turn...

She leaned on Kang's arm, trying not to hurl all over the deck, and nodded. Serenity would have tea and a bucket and wouldn't look like Stacy.

Kang moved slowly, but at a steady pace, and stayed silent until they reached the hangar, lost in his own thoughts. Luckily for him, he was unlikely to have nightmares over this. The rest of the crew, however... At the moment, though, he was far more focused on taking care of Kaylee. "We're almost there."

Kaylee nodded, concentrating on keeping herself settled long enough to get inside. The cargo bay ramp was down, so it was an easy walk up, across the cargo bay, toward the infirmary...

She ran the last few steps to the nearest sink.

Serenity was a little cramped for Kang, but he'd learned how to best move around inside her. He wasn't surprised, and immediately fetched a glass of water for Kaylee, knowing that she'd want to get that taste out of her mouth. If he actually knew how to brew tea, he would have started it for her.

It wasn't pleasant, and the taste that remained in her mouth after was too close to that of Stacy's slop for comfort. Gratefulness toward Kang growing every minute, Kaylee accepted the water with a small, "Thank you," and proceeded to rinse her mouth. It would be better once she had some tea, she knew. The taste would be hidden under spices and herbs and she wouldn't have to think about it anymore.

"Feel a little better now?" Kang asked, sitting down at the table.

"A bit, yeah..." Once the water was ready, Kaylee poured it into a mug over the already waiting teabag. "If you uh. I'll understand if you need to get back, don't gotta wait here. Think I'll be alright now."

Kang shook his head, "I'm in no hurry." He didn't want to leave her alone quite yet.

"Okay..." She finished pouring her water, and set the pot down. "You want some tea then?"

The tea smelled interesting, but he shook his head again. "I'm not thirsty."

No need to pull down another cup, then. Kaylee grabbed her tea and settled at the table near Kang. "Wash 'n Jayne should be back soon..."
