I know we've had some supply interruptions lately, but I believe this firefly is speaking Morse Code.

Also does anyone know what Morse Code is?

SERENITY!

I SPEAK MORSE CODE AND THAT IS MY FRIEND. PLEASE RELEASE HER TO ME.

ALSO YOUR QUESTION CONTRADICTS YOU BELIEVING SHE WAS SPEAKING IT.
IT IS ALL VERY CONFUSING.

Life is confusing, isn't it!

THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD BE PROMOTING FURTHER CONFUSION.

Morse Code is your friend? I'm not sure I follow.

THE FIREFLY IS MY FRIEND.

Were you in the army too?

KIND OF. THIS IS IRRELEVANT INFORMATION.
MAY I HAVE MY FRIEND PLEASE NOW SIR.

I haven't figured out yet how one prices a firefly bug..

YOU DON'T PUT PRICES ON LIVING THINGS. THIS IS NOT A SLAVE TRADE.

Certainly not, what kind of work could a firefly even do?

Light things up, I suppose.

SIR!
THIS IS NO TIME FOR YOUR WIT.

We can decide on a price down at the shop, Mister..?

MISTER MAYOR TO YOU.
WHY ARE WE DISCUSSING PRICES?? YOU'RE HOLDING MY FRIEND HOSTAGE. JUST OPEN THE WINDOW AND LET HER OUT.

The mayor? Excuse me, I'll bring the firefly to you straight away. I would hate to have cause any trouble for the mayor.

THANK YOU.

Morse code is a form of communication, most often used when radio signals are impossible or impractical. Each sequence of tones or lights represents a letter or number, and you can use it to send messages.

Have you written any of it down?

I'm not sure how to write any of this down.

You're supposed to write it in dots and lines. Dots are short flashes and lines are long ones.

For example, the series, ".... . .-.. .-.. ---" would translate into English as, "hello".
