Firefly is a television series that takes place in the year 2517. In this new society only two superpowers exist, which is United States and China, they have united to form the central government called the Alliance, which prompted a merging of the two cultures. Joss Whedon focuses this show on a cast of nine characters that each has their own unique story. Mostly looking into the life of Captain Malcolm Reynolds, who was a sergeant that fought against the Alliance in a civil war that resulted in the Alliance defeating the Browncoats, the rebellion, in a bloodbath war. Six years later, Captain Reynolds or Mal, continues his life taking jobs for money on the edges of society. Mal and his crew discovered an abandoned ship that had people killed by Reavers in it. Mal noticed that the abandoned ship possessed some valuable cargo, Mal decided to take some of the cargo and leave. Later finding out that there remained an only survivor. He then brought the only survivor to the infirmary for medical attention. Serenity was taken in by the Alliance for a government check for any evidence of illegal goods or activities in the vessel. Mal decided to put all the illegal goods in plane sight in order to avoid the Alliance to be suspicious of them carrying the two fugitives, Simon and River. This is because a Firefly-model spaceship was reported in the first episode of stealing goods from an abandoned spaceship (which was actually Serenity). In the meantime, the Alliance has been looking for two fugitives (Simon and River) that could be possibly hiding in Serenity. Instead of the captain turning in the two fugitives to the Alliance as bargaining chips so that the Serenity could escape freely, the captain decided on hiding the sibling fugitives. Simon and River were suited up and hid outside the ship from any Alliance members. The crew was later interrogated about any information about Simon and River but they lied about harboring fugitives because especially Mal knew this was a morally right thing to do.
