Actually, in the movie, the woman on the recording said 1/10th of a percent, which does come out to 30,000 reavers.

I also theorize that the PAX has an anti-radiation side effect--how else would the Reavers have survived so long without core containment?

Oh, that's good. That's really good. Maybe they had access to compressed gas cylinders full of PAX. It nebulizes the PAX (similar to an asthma inhaler), and then they inject it into a raided vessel's air supply before they board it. That would explain Bushwhacked. It would also explain why the one survivor in Bushwhacked went Reaver, and how nobody ever seems to survive a Reaver attack.

Maybe the PAX is volatile, and has a short half-life when exposed to atmospheric temperature or chemistry - if it's not assimilated into tissue, it decomposes within a few days, which would explain why none of the crew of Serenity were affected in Bushwhacked or when they landed on Miranda.

Somebody get Joss on the phone. I think we've just come up with a new fan wank.

That makes a lot of sense--it's fast acting but breaks down quickly in the atmosphere. I like it.

And if you can get Joss Whedon on the phone, you're my hero.
