AFTERMATH BACKGROUND

Okay, so a few are a little confused with my new story. Okay, strike that, only one. Well, he's the only one that left a bloody comment on it. Anyway, to help answer his questions about the time frame of my fanfic. It takes place a month after Miranda. Secondly, the reason why Dustee let Mal put the gun to her head, is because she's not afraid of death. She knew what he was doing but it didn't matter to her. To her it wouldn't make a difference if she lived or died, since to her it's the same things (considering what she's been through at the Academy). Thirdly, ummm, what was the other question he had....ahhhhh....hold on, it'll come to me....River doesn't remember clearly about Dustee. I will go into that in later chapters as to why. Fourth point, they didn't realize what their flaw on River until it was too late to fix it. The flaw was stripping her of her amygdala. They are still interested in River since she is 'the' prototype for the ultimate weapon. It's like steps, you go up one step but you're not at your destination you're just a step closer. Each experiment whether failed or successful is a step. River was two steps forward to their goal. Last point, Mal doesn't kick her off because he sees that she has a lot of valuable information. Seeing as how she openly admitted that she is the perfect weapon, he knows her power. However, he respects the fact that she has not been violent toward any of them and has provided them, mainly Simon, with a lot of information having to do with the Academy. This is why he let's her stay for the ride to Beaumonde, then she may be on her own.

I know it may seem confusing, but to me it's not. However, to each his own, right? I do appreciate constructive criticism and welcome feedback, but if you don't like it that's okay. Hopefully you give it a chance.

Thanks to all those who have read and reviewed my little stories.
