Got a question regarding the canon's background: was the Alliance mole in "Serenity", Laurence Dobson (I think that was his name?) an employee of Interpol or the Alliance Security forces. I believe Lieutenant Womack from "The Message" was in the Alliance Security forces, and I'm really not sure if that's the same thing as Interpol, or if it's something different.

I don't know if there is an Interpol. But I believe he was not a military operative if that's what you mean.

I am quite sure, whoever he was working for, he wasn't military: the military simply would have planted an agent with a tracking and signal beacon and had the agent activate it next time the Serenity was close enough to be unable to run from a Cruiser...besides, given the amount of training a military agent would have had, he wouldn't have shot Kaylee because he was twitchy...

I have watched the episode 4 times now, and my first instinct is bounty hunter. I discount that though because this guy was nervous and didn't strike me as a pro.

I am thinking perhaps he is some sort of undercover agent for the Blue Hands, a Fed of some sort.
