Afternoon, folks. – Evenin', now. [The man on screen clears his throat and nods in greeting, a little awkwardly. (And no, he's not actually wearing a floral bonnet. ~~Today.~~)] This Admiral fella wanted a handful o' help and thought I was the man to give it so wǒ zài zhèlǐ. Name's Captain Reynolds, Mal if you ain't one to stand on ceremony. I'm sure it's fine to meet you all, and if it ain't, you go ahead an' let me know. [There's a smile purely for the sake of decorum, which drops off his face almost immediately as his eyes rake over something off-screen, as if reading.]

Let's see what we got here, then... Prison ship, eight levels and two additional restricted areas, complete with library, common rooms, medbay, an' my personal favorite, fully stocked kitchen. Probably serves better'n protein too. Laundry services, showers, art therapy facilities, and gardens included. Now that don't sound like any prison I ever been to. Hell, y'all even got a bar? Got quite a slick operation here, real nice 'n cozy.

But it still ain't as good as my boat.

Nothin's better than your own ship. What's yours like?

Glad to see the folk here talk sense. She's a Firefly, ain't the fanciest vessel out there but she's a tough old bird an' my pilot can fly her like one.

Never heard of a Firefly before. She a transport?

Never heard of a Firefly? Now what make are you flyin' in?

Sure is, best transport ship ever built.

The NX-01. Enterprise. It's Earth's first warp five capable starship, and I'm guessin' if I've never heard of a Firefly and you've never heard of the Enterprise, we're talkin' different timelines at the least, but I'd say different universes is probably more likely.

[Pause for puzzlement.] ...Well you got that part right. Enterprise sounds like one of them Alliance space stations. Where're you on the timeline? Where I stepped out of it's 2517.
