Yeah, they don't really call it space, do they? They call it the Black or the Verse or the Sky.

If it did exist, it would probably be more prevalent in the Core, which is why I thought AlliedWaves might suit, since they send waves rather than emails or what have you. Or maybe every planet would have its own network, with its own name.


Facts are stubborn things.

Mal has got 'Space!' on the mind all the time. Three examples:

Mal to Zoe in The Train Job: “See, this is another sign of your tragic space dementia, all paranoid and crotchety. Makes it hard.”

Mal to Harken in Bushwhacked: “The darkness. Kind of darkness you can't even imagine. Blacker than the space it moves through.” Harken: “Very poetic.”

Mal to Bester in Out of Gas: “When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?” Bester: “What? Oh! No, Captain. . . She like engines. They make her hot.”

Point taken. I think he says "It breaks a heart," though.

I checked. You are right and http://firefly.shriftweb.org/scripts/101.txt is left.

I like MyVerse as well. Got a nice ring to it.
