INT. GUARD STATION - CONTINUING

As a guard looks at a screen impassively. He mostly resembles a secret service man -- more bureaucrat than thug.

A second man rolls into frame on a chair behind him, also watching the screen.

The first rises, putting his hand on the monitor, revealing that he wears tight blue gloves.

In the version printed in the Serenity Visual Companion, that last sentence was deleted. If Joss had left that in the film it would have been a nice nod to the fans of the series, but he probably thought it would confuse newbies so it wasn't necessary.

As has already been pointed out, the intention in the series was that there were MANY HoBs, and that they were troubleshooters for Blue Sun. Blue Sun was pretty much expunged from the movie to streamline things.
