:00:29
	Earth-That-Was... 
:00:30
	could no longer sustainour numbers, we were so many.
:00:36
	We found a new solar system:
:00:39
	Dozens of planetsand hundreds of moons.
:00:43
	Each one terraformed,a process taking decades...
:00:47
	to support human life. To be new Earths.
:00:50
	The central planetsformed the Alliance.
:00:53
	Ruled by an interplanetaryparliament...
:00:55
	the Alliance wasa beacon of civilization.
:00:58
	The savage outer planetswere not so enlightened...
:01:01
	and refused Alliance control. 
:01:03
	The war was devastating. 
:01:07
	But the Alliance's victoryover the Independents...
:01:09
	ensured a safer universe. 
:01:11
	And now, everyonecan enjoy the comfort...
:01:13
	and enlightenmentof true civilization.
:01:16
	Why were the Independentseven fighting us?
:01:18
	Why wouldn't they lookto be more civilized?
:01:20
	I hear they're cannibals.That's only Reavers.
:01:23
	Reavers aren't real.Full well they are.
:01:25
	I heard they attack settlersfrom space...
:01:27
	and kill them,and wear their skins...
:01:28
	and rape themfor hours and hours...
:01:32
	It's truethat there are dangers
on the outer planets.
:01:36
	So with so many socialand medical advancements...
:01:38
	we can bringto the Independents...
:01:40
	why would they fightso hard against us?
:01:42
	We meddle.
:01:44
	River?
:01:46
	People don't liketo be meddled with.
:01:48
	We tell them what to do,what to think.
:01:50
	Don't run, don't walk.
:01:52
	We're in their homesand in their heads
and we haven't the right.
:01:55
	We're meddlesome.
:01:58
	River, we're not tellingpeople what to think...
