Quote:Originally posted by RogueScholar: My guess would be something to the effect of it never occuring to Badger that Mal could be involved in something that high-level, as it were. Besides, he seems to have bought River's act, and believed her to be from his home planet/moon (the name of which escapes me for the moment, but I think that I did read the name somewhere), and so she couldn't be the fugitive River Tam. That is the solution which jumps immediately to mind, anyway.

Quote:Originally posted by jewelstaitefan: Bushwhacked mentioned a "flash" about a brother and sister, no further info because it was still so classified even the Alliance Commander did not have access. No mention of a picture. Don't recall Badger was introduced to River as Simon's sister, even if he say the "flash". Didn't sound like a cortex thing, more like military or police messaging.

Quote:Originally posted by jewelstaitefan: Expanding upon this, I suspect that the elder Tams were horrified that their children were identified as brash enough to evade the ballyhooed Alliance. Plus, in return for the elder Tam's unholy support of the Alliance, the powers likely confiscated the Tam Estate and threw the Tams in prison for raising children who defied the glorious Alliance. This happens often in history, so no reason not to happen here - serves them right. Perhaps the Tam Estate will become the Alliance's version of Arlington Cemetery (formerly Gen Lee's Estate.)

Can't say as I agree. In fact, I believe very little would happen to Gabriel and his wife. The Tams are well-to-do members of upperclass society. And outwardly the Academy was legit. So, I consider it highly unlikely the Alliance would blow the whistle on their own little, carefully orchestrated, facade: they NEED the cooperation of uppity folks like the Tams to perpetuate the front that theirs is a good school you can send your kids to. -- "Mei-mei, everything I have is right here." -- Simon Tam

Quote:Originally posted by freelancertex: The Tams were never introduced by name to Badger, and even when he asked Simon whos he was, all he said was "she's a passenger." He strikes me as the type who's more interested in something going wrong with his business prospects (such as Serenity being tagged for illegal salvage) than he is about Alliance bounties. Since what he does is illegal, doesn't seem wise to me to get tangled up in Alliance affairs whatsoever.

Quote:Originally posted by asarian: No way info on the Tams would ever appear on a bulletin for Badger to read. Possibly folks are not recalling what Book told Mal: "No reports broadwaved... no warrants. Much as they want her, they want her hid." The only ever bulletin for River we see, with photo ID, is in Early's ship. But Early got that bulletin, most like, directly from a military source that sent him out to collect her.

But remember OIS, when it's Simon's b-day, and they know that that day was his b-day because of of something on Simon. Sure, I don't think there was anything on River, but Simon's warrent or whatever it's called was avalible to the general public if the crew on Serenity got it. I'm not arguing the main point- I'm just throwing this in here. I do agree with the peeps saying that Badger was too stupid to reconize them, and wouldn't be paying attention to them because he wouldn't want to get involved in Alliance stuff.

Quote:Originally posted by asarian: And you are right to point it out! :) I had forgotten all about it. In OoG, Mal indeed says: "Seems a fresh warrant for your arrest come up on the cortex. Had your birth date attached right to it." And, come to think of it, Harken said: "Alliance property, too. You could lose your ship, Captain. But that's a wrist slap compared to the penalty for harboring fugitives. A brother and sister. When I search this vessel, I won't find them, will I?" It is, of course, not all that bewildering that Commander Harken knows about the two, but, by pointing out a penalty, he DOES seem to indicate that Mal ought to know they are fugitives, too (through public channels).
