A/N: This is going to be very short because it is the prologue, but I assure the regular chapters will be 1k+ words. I hope you enjoy the first part.

Prologue: Escape
"River," Mal shouted as he ran up to the cockpit of his ship Serenity, "I thought you said you could fly her!"
Malcolm Reynolds was the captain of a ship called Serenity, he and his crew had been through countless adventures together including fleeing the alliance on many occasions. Malcolm's pilot Wash had died in a battle against creatures called Reavers. The insanely smart and also not completely right in the head River Tam had taken over a pilot of the Serenity.
"I can," River said as Mal arrived, "But there is a power drawing me to this planet."
"A tractor beam?" Mal asked.
"No," River said, "A spiritual power."
"Great she's crazy again," Jayne said as he walked in with Zoe.
"Well she may have phrased it weirdly," Kaylee said from the engine room, "But she's not wrong. There is something pulling us towards this planet."
"Kaylee," Mal asked, "Would it help to do a complete engine reboot?"
"I don't know," Kaylee answered, "I've never seen something like this before."
"We don't have any other options, do we?" Mal asked nobody in particular.
"Well, as we get closer the faster it the force pulls us in," River said nonchalantly, "Maybe we were meant to come here."
"River," Mal ordered, "Pull up the Alliance files we stole, and see what it says about this planet."
"Most of the file is encrypted," River answered, "But I can tell you that the planet is uninhabited. And Mal, I estimate we have 45 seconds till crash."
"45 SECONDS?" Everybody shouted.
"Give or take about 20 seconds," River smiled.
CRASH
The ship skidded on some snow, toppled over once and crashed into a block of ice and when they all got up they saw the unconscious body of a man in a red and blue uniform on the hull of the ship.
