:00:29
Earth-That-Was...
:00:30
could no longer sustainour numbers, we were so many.
:00:36
We found a new solar system:
:00:39
Dozens of planetsand hundreds of moons.
:00:43
Each one terraformed,a process taking decades...
:00:47
to support human life. To be new Earths.
:00:50
The central planetsformed the Alliance.
:00:53
Ruled by an interplanetaryparliament...
:00:55
the Alliance wasa beacon of civilization.
:00:58
The savage outer planetswere not so enlightened...
:01:01
and refused Alliance control.
:01:03
The war was devastating.
:01:07
But the Alliance's victoryover the Independents...
:01:09
ensured a safer universe.
:01:11
And now, everyonecan enjoy the comfort...
:01:13
and enlightenmentof true civilization.
:01:16
Why were the Independentseven fighting us?
:01:18
Why wouldn't they lookto be more civilized?
:01:20
I hear they're cannibals.That's only Reavers.
:01:23
Reavers aren't real.Full well they are.
:01:25
I heard they attack settlersfrom space...
:01:27
and kill them,and wear their skins...
:01:28
and rape themfor hours and hours...
:01:32
It's truethat there are dangers
on the outer planets.
:01:36
So with so many socialand medical advancements...
:01:38
we can bringto the Independents...
:01:40
why would they fightso hard against us?
:01:42
We meddle.
:01:44
River?
:01:46
People don't liketo be meddled with.
:01:48
We tell them what to do,what to think.
:01:50
Don't run, don't walk.
:01:52
We're in their homesand in their heads
and we haven't the right.
:01:55
We're meddlesome.
:01:58
River, we're not tellingpeople what to think...
