Yup. According to IMDB, it's Kelly Wheeler.

It's tough to read, but if you zoom in on the bigger files, you can read a lot of what's written. Kinda nifty. Oh, yeah, hey, if the pix don't show or the links don't work, it's cuz I don't often make webpages; just lemme know. (This should end some of the debates about whether the FF verse is in one system or many.)
As for the Historiy of the Unification War, there are bits and pieces of the history in the intros of the promotional videos. I'll try to remember to write it all down next time I watch 'em.
Also, about River being in that Blue Sun ad, I read something about this a while ago, but I can't recall the specifics. I'm of the feeling, though, that it isn't River in that ad...it is someone we should know, but my Sunday lazy brain ain't workin'.
Anyway, blah blah blah. Enjoy the maps, but please don't hit your head and die if you pass out. I might feel a little guilty.
Thank you from the bottom of my techno geeky heart for the bdm - big damn map of the 'verse.
Regarding who's in the Blue Sun ad, it's Kelly. I think she was a production assistant for the show and also kept a blog for the show while it was in production. At least I'm pretty sure, maybe someone will verify that.
Now I'm going to go put my nose an inch from the monitor and go blind looking at that shiney map.

Just wanted to post my two cents about the original topic.
What set River off depends largely on what ability was showing itself at that moment. If it was River's burgeoning telepathy, it could be that she sensed Jayne's intent to betray them. However, her ability is too unrefined at this point, so all her conscious mind receives is an urgent feeling that something 'bad' is going to happen. This could also explain how she senses the Men in Blue later on.
Personally, I believe that River was having a vaguely prescient moment when she started screaming, set off by Jayne's announcement that the plan had changed and that they were heading out the back way.
At that moment, Jayne essentially commits himself to turning them in. That commitment is enough to generate (precognitively speaking) a likely series of events that ends with River back in the the custody of the Blue Hand Group.
You'll notice that the brainscan begins to change right after Jayne speaks, but River doesn't start screaming for several seconds afterwards. I think her brain picked up on the sudden change in future and ran it forward, with River getting little more than a sense that the MiB are coming or will get her, some flash of approaching, horrible danger.
The precog theory also gives some explanation of her attack on Jayne at the beginning of the episode, something beyond 'she ain't all there': an incredibly vague sense of menace and anger at Jayne, but nothing concrete enough to communicate in any useful fashion.
There are a lot of strange people in the world. I should know; I'm three of them...

I now must make a statue of you!
Consider yourself bowed to and grovelled at for the rest of the week!
Thank you, very very very very much!

"Oh hey, I got an idea. Instead of us hanging
around playing art critic till I get pinched by
the Man, how's about we move away from this
eerie-ass piece of work and get on with our
increasingly eerie-ass day, how's that?"

Also I'm glad I didn't take River to the Prom then, because I did the math and when I was going to it she would have been 9 or 10, and that's just freaky.

Oh! That's right! I completely forgot. Uh, hey, I did tell you to bother me with emails if you didn't hear from me...so...see how I'm slowly turning this around to be all your fault? The full scan of the map is 11MB; if you want it in all it's glory, let me know and I'll try to find a way of getting it to you.
And, sorry for straying off topic. River's brain scan ... is ... pretty. I always figured the screaming and carrying on was due to Jayne's betrayal and the arrival of the Blue Hands Group. But, hey, what do I know.

Okay, is it just me, or does this map solve the dispute as to whether the Firefly story is set in a sigular solar system or a much larger universe? These maps look alot like multiple systems composing a universe to me.

She is also seen in several of the shot promotional web videos that were on the Fox site.
Please help Haken keep this site running by occasionally clicking on some of the sponsored ad links on the side of the page!
Thanks Shiney!!
That's been bugging me for a while now and I was never able to find out who it was.
I was pretty sure it wasn't really River, all joking aside...that was just the closest I could figure...LOL
