*Chuckles.* It would be fun if Inara -were- an Ex-Operative, but it's not likely. The Operative that attacked her in the BDM would have had a much more interesting surprise than a flash bomb in store.

However, you've made me think (yes, be afraid) about Inara's mysterious box and what's inside of it. Being the odd, obsessive puppy that I am, I keep wondering what it is, what it does, where she got it...what are the chances that she borrowed *Cough-Stole-Cough.* it from a high ranking Alliance officer, or maybe an Operative?

Just went a tad off topic there. *Hangs head.* But I did tell you I was odd.

Well at least you're giving this some good thought and being reasonable. :)

The flash-bomb and needle were also what got me thinking, and why does a companion need fight training at all, unless she needs to defend herself. I'm not sure if you saw the other thread, but apparently it has been confirmed by Morena at an interview that the needle was in fact a disease or poison that would kill anyone who had sex with her in case of rape. Oh, and just a bit of trivia, on Wikipedia it says that the computer voice that says "Parliamentary override. All access granted," in the beginning of the BDM was actually voiced by Morena. I agree with everyone that this is really unlikely, but just a fun thought. :)

No way!!! I gotta find that thread now.

*Silly girlie squeal.* I -thought- that voice sounded familiar! *Grins.* Want a sound byte now.

Yeah I forget where that thread was, but there were tons on that subject. I really wonder where Inara would have gotten such a weapon and it really seems very Operative-ish to me. It's just the whole thought of it that really gets me and crosses a line from just being well skilled. And I must say that she has a beautiful voice that is very feminine yet firm in an appealing sort of way. I remember re-watching the BDM just for that line and it sounded very crisp and curt.

The anti rape drug was discussed in Inara's true age thread. Over the years her age discussion I think comes from Cowboy Bebop. But Joss W has said he wasn't into. So since Zoe's carbine goes back to western's of the 50s with Steve Mcqueen and Briscoe County Jr. Sayings from BCjr. Stage hands and effects guys might have brought that to the table. Joss a known Bonanaza and Stagecoach fan you definitly see it in FF. Plus his work of other shows sneeks in. My thing is Inara's AR drug is just to hard for me to except my mind shuts down. I rather an age thing but that's AR drug is probalbly it. Geisha girl training would be similar to Inara's. She is not a common hooker for the average joe. Her duties include formal functions and state gatherings. Operatives are top assasins. Ancient middle eastern term from the king of persia for special assignments not a military commando unit.

Well, I think now maybe I might have gone too far with Operative, but I think she probably has some kind of 'unusual' past given the controversy over her age, the AR drug, and some of her lines.

I agree with the whole unusual past thing, but she's definately not an Operative. She also has some weapons training because besides martial arts she used the bolt thrower(changed from a bow and arrow w/CGI) in the BDM.

I do agree that she's no older than mid 20's. Old enough to have experience in the world but still have some idealism.

I have a whole scenario for Inara worked out in my head and I'm trying to put in hints and explanations in some fanfic I'm working on.
