DISCLAIMER; Joss Whedon, Mutant Ninja [Turtles?] and other corporations own Firefly, Serenity, all the characters and the entire 'verse. I'm just playing in their sand box, for my personal pleasure and hopefully yours.
A/N (1) I & II are NOT linear Think of them like the movie "Vantage Point" . They start soon after the Big Gorram Battle but well before the funeral. Note (2) I will leave a somewhat more detailed explanation in the comment area below addressing the reasoning behind this interpretation and addressing issues raised in the comments raised by AMD.
What happened in the editing cut between the order to stand down and the funeral (where ever that happened)?
Interludes II
Jayne was confused ... no, seriously, I mean way more than usual. No understanding, no comprehension, just Jayne and Vera, and a dozen grenades. Couldn't believe those Purplebellies didn't blow them all away starting with Moon Brain. And Moon Brain, taking on 50 Reavers barehanded ...well barehanded to start, must be some serious kinda math. Maybe she really can kill with her brain, and ain't that all kinds of creepifying. Don't make no sense though, leaving him and Inara alone and taking the rest of the crew to their big cruiser. *Well, here I am, guarding the ship, because Inara got on the cortex then headed to the other ship to be with the crew, and Moon Brain, she just walked away with that short sword and battle axe. Don't know why, Serenity will never leave here, Wash crashed the ship... must be in a dozen pieces.*
Zoe woke up with her face in a donut unable to move at all. Just as the terror starts to rise she hears Inara talking " ... be alright, Mal too. he was worse than the doc and he's in surgery. Oh, you're awake!" "'s wrong? can't move." "You're in sick bay on a Federation boat, honored guests, most of you. Remember after we stole the Lassiter, Jayne hurt his back? The surgeon says the nasty cut you got hit the spine a
Note on the Warrants from I: Suspension of disbelief requires that the laws within that universe be internaly consistent. My assumptions were that (1)communication, even on the 'Verse Wide Web aka the cortex signals still travel at 186,000 mps (speed of light). (2)broken arms still take 6-8 weeks to heal. By the time of the funeral (wherever it was) Interludes I had already happened. The next scene (another time gap eaten in the edit) the olerative's arms have healed, Somehow all the bits of Serenity have been pulled together and reassembled. Time for his report to parlaiment, some internal discussion and Blue Sun deciding taking river alive was imperative and not possible at that moment, thus rescinding the warrants by the time mal closes the bay door.
