FanFic Summary: River gets captured by the Alliance and forced into a coma that is more than what it seems. She's trapped inside a dream built by those who wish to turn her into a Weapon. Once the crew finally finds her, they realize that they don't have the means to wake her. Once Simon is faced with something he can't cure, the crew is forced to go into a coreworld for the third time in their adventure in order to find a specialist that might hold the key to River's condition. Will River be able to wake up? And when she does, who will greet our crew, the Girl or the Weapon?
Author's Note: A small note on Natasha, of all the OCs in this fic, she's one of my favorites :) Place your mouse over the Italic Chinese to get the English translations, dong ma? This piece was read, supervised and sort of beta'd by the lovely gwenfrewi72, since I did end up re-editing and adding in the end ^.^
