The first I saw the "Firefly" universe was this film, and that but once -- but perhaps an outside observer may shake the truth loose from those who REALLY know -- the true believing watchers.

I jumped to the conclusion that Book was a precursor of the Operative -- had been a special agent, with devastating power, abilities, and connections for the Alliance Parliament. That he had become disillusioned & left, turning his back on violence (see Joe Haldeman's "All My Sins Remembered") and tried to live out his life teaching other things and making a haven of safety in the middle of nowhere. To undo as best he could his past sins.

Probably wrong -- but perhaps those who know will repair this.
