Take my love, take my land,
Take me where I cannot stand.
I don't care, I'm still free,
You can't take the sky from me.
Take me out to the black,
Tell 'em I ain't comin' back.
Burn the land and boil the sea,
You can't take the sky from me.
Have no place I can be,
Since I found Serenity.
But you can't take the sky from me.
Here's how it is. The Earth got used up. So, we moved out and terraformed ourselves a whole new galaxy of Earths. Some rich and plush with the new technologies. Others, not so much. The central planets, them as formed the Alliance, fought a war to bring all the worlds under their control. A few idiots tried to fight it, among them, myself.
I'm Malcolm Reynolds, captain of the Serenity.
She's a transport ship, Firefly class. Got a good crew; fighters... pilot... mechanic... We even picked ourselves up a preacher for some reason and a bonafide Companion. There's a doctor too; he busted his genius sister out of some Alliance camp so they're keeping a low profile. You understand.
You got a job, we can do it. Don't much care what it is. --- Malcolm Reynolds
After the Earth was used up, we found a new system with hundreds of new Earths. The central planets formed the Alliance and fought a war to bring all the planets under their rule.
There was some disagreement on that point.
After the war, the losers of the conflict drifted to the edges of the system. Out here, people struggled to get by with the most basic of technologies. A ship could get you a job; a gun would help you keep it.
A captain's goal was simple. Find a crew. Find a job. Keep flying. --- Shepherd Book
