You don't think Mal wouldn't have known him then? Even if he didn't know what Book had done you think he would have some knowledge of the command structure and the names and faces of the people who filled it's upper ranks.

Not at all. I'm sure the military has people in it that not even the toppiest top brass know about. Plausible deniablity.

Well most of those people wouldn't be of high rank. With rank comes visibility. Maybe I'm reading too much into what you wrote though.

With enough rank, though, comes invivisility.

you know... it's obvious that the Alliance is able to do things to the brain which is basically impossible right now.


operative doesn't exist means no family, means dispendable, means maybe each operative is not a unique individual.

the alliance has done worse.


who says sheperd ever stopped being an operative.


river escapes and all a sudden book decides to leave the abbey and walk the world for a spell?

That ain't no shepard...

Verrry interesting, with three "r"'s. It could be that Book and the Operative were simply sides of the same coin.
