Simon goes back to the blackout zone and accepts the offer from the underground movement. In turn, they are successful in getting River to him as promised. Once the Alliance becomes aware of his sneaking her out, however, they crash his accounts. Amongst the things Simon is able to bring with him is a medkit containing valuable medicines such as ivoprovalyn (a common immune booster), propoxin, and hydrozapam.   [Shortly before "Serenity," as Simon is first seen on Persephone with River in tow. Kaylee mentions to Jayne in "The Train Job" that Simon is "not rich" because the Alliance crashed his accounts, while in "Safe," Simon tells his father that he is "going right back" to the blackout zone where he was arrested. Simon lists some of the medicines he had when he came onboard, along with their street value, in "Ariel;" one of these, ivoprovalyn, is also mentioned on the Serenity website.]
