He tells the crew to get ready to take off and River sets course for the closest hospital, an independent paquin-mining contractor with a private medical ship. Although the crew are meant to be lying low, Mal is willing to take a risk to save Zoe. Although the baby is fine, apparently Zoe had internal bleeding and Simon could not be sure to the extent without using hospital equipment. Simon pulls Mal aside and says there were complications with the birth. She gives birth to a healthy girl, naming her Emma (after jokingly naming her Hoban like her dad). Zoe (who seems to have interrupted Simon and Kaylee, as well as Inara and Mal) is put into the infirmary to give birth with Simon's assistance while everyone else waits outside. She asks for him to stay and her hallucination relives his death as she goes into labor. Once River leaves, Zoe swears that that she will never forgive Wash for making her go through this pregnancy alone, when he appears as a part of her imagination. Heavily pregnant, Zoe is joined by River and they talk about the ship being so quiet with many of the crew gone and that they miss everyone, including Jayne. Leading up to their intercourse, they discuss the crew who would be able to complete a job River has been more stable since Miranda and Jayne leaving the ship. Mal and Inara Serra talk of how lying low meant Inara was decommissioned from being a companion and the crew were low on money and food, and that they need to take a job. Serenity (now piloted by River Tam) is parked in the middle of nowhere. Bea (one of the rebels) is met by a man who claims to be cousins with a member (most likely Jayne) who used to ride Serenity with Mal and offers his help to track the captain down. Meanwhile, an Alliance commander is meeting with two Operatives in the effort to find the Firefly-class transport ship and a reward is put out for Malcolm Reynolds and his crew.Ī resistance Browncoat group is also in search of Mal so he can lead the movement against The Alliance. The comic opens with news pundits discussing the broadcast that seems to have divided The Verse into two sides - people who believe the information about Miranda and the origins of Reavers was a fake and a hoax, and those who believe the broadcast, which means people know what the Alliance is capable of hiding with their power. Eight months after the broadcast was put out from Miranda, the Union of Allied Planets (Alliance) are still in search of those responsible for the broadcast.
