Firefly, season 2, Episode 1: Grey

The following takes place two years after the events of Serenity. Yes, Wash isn't dead. I don't care what you say, Wash is awesome and he's staying, damnit!

Mal, Zoe, Wash, and River are inside the helm of Serenity. Wash is in the pilot’s seat with Mal and Zoe standing close behind. River is in the copilot seat.

Mal: Come on Wash, get us out of here!

Wash: There’s not a lot that I can do at this point!

Zoe: Sir, the Reavers are gaining on us!

All see a wormhole ahead.

Mal (In bewilderment): Is that—

Wash: Our way out!

Zoe: Sir, we have no idea where that could take us. We could end up anywhere.

Mal: It’s either that or Reavers! Wash, gun it! (Over loud speaker) We will be passing through a wormhole with an unknown point of exit momentarily. Everybody please hold on to something.

The entire ship is illuminated, and Serenity passes through what appears to be a tunnel of hallucinogenic colors. When the ship emerges, they are in space that is devoid of anything but stars. Jayne rushes into the wheelhouse, followed by Simon and Inara.

Jayne: What in the gorram hell was that?!

Wash: Some nice flying is what that was!

Zoe: I knew you could do it baby.

Simon (Looking out at the stars): Where are we?

River: Somewhere new.

Camera pans from cockpit to ship exterior dramatically. Cue theme song.

Mal: So Wash, where are we, exactly?

Wash (Glancing at radar): Beats me cap’n. But being that we just ran through a wormhole and all, I’d say we’re somewhere in the vicinity of this area. (gestures at a poster depicting a picture of the expanding universe on the wall)

Simon: So in other words, we’re humped?

Wash: Yeah, we’re pretty much humped.

Inara: Is there any way that we could go back through the wormhole?

Zoe: We would be back in Reaver territory.

Jayne: Then what do we do? (Panicked)

Mal: We keep flying till we hit something.

Inara: If we don’t run out of fuel first.

After hours of drift
