Life, Crime

Badger becomes aware of the derelict transport with a cargo of foodstuffs onboard, and he hires the crew of Serenity to pull this illegal salvage. What could go wrong?

Badger becomes aware of the derelict transport with a cargo of foodstuffs onboard, and he hires the crew of Serenity to pull this illegal salvage. Although he is aware of the goods, however, he does not realize that they are imprinted by the Alliance.   [Shortly before "Serenity," as the present-day events of the episode begin with the salvage underway. Badger mentions the illegality of the job when he quotes the bulletin which came up on the Cortex, with the implication being that said bulletin is his first indication of the Alliance stamp on the cargo.]
