If what you want to tell me is that you … found him on some planet, he was strung out but had a few credits and boarded your ship and you, you brought him out … I would be deeply in your debt. <br> <br>

'''Kiera:''' So … which story do you want us to tell you?<br>
 
'''Rina:''' (accent showing) The one that makes you happy or the truth?<br>
 
'''Captain Wise:''' I assume that they’re the same. <br> <br>
 
 
 
'''Rina:''' I’m eloping.<br>
 
'''Kiera:''' You ''what''?<br><br>
 
 
 
'''Nika:''' (dryly) Oh, no, no, no. We have a small issue. With a capital ''ISSUE''.<br><br>
 
 
 
'''Kiera:''' Who else has fought Kiera toe-to-toe to the point of droppin’ bullets outa the thing and havin’ a hissy fit and then setting his girlfriend off before she finally flipped and basically blew it and went ''“I don’t care they all die, I’m gonna get drunk in a bar and feel sorry for myself”''?<br><br>
 
 
 
'''Kiera:''' No, but yeah, we’d lose two crew members. Because if we leave him—(points to Rina)—ain’t goin’.<br>
 
'''Arden:''' She’s left her fiancé before.<br><br>
 
 
 
'''Kiera:''' She ain’t gonna leave this one.<br>

'''Nika:''' If I had put money on that, ''I’d be out money''. <br> <br>
 
 
 
'''Beglan:''' So, when you say “I’ll just tell the truth, I have nothing to hide”, you might have just a few things you don’t want to highlight on your resume.<br><br>
 
 
 
'''Arden:''' You probably know a lot more details than I do because you sleep with the guy. I just medicate him. (a beat) When he wants to be medicated.<br>

'''Joshua:''' You’re really … You’re joking, right? … Like … ?<br>
 
'''Nurse:''' No, I’m sorry. You’re off all medications until we can determine what’s going on, but can you describe your symptoms?<br>
 
'''Joshua:''' (loudly) Yeah! I have a huge headache!<br>
 
 
 
'''Captain Wise:''' Do you—Do you know who you are? Do you know who I am?<br>
 
'''Joshua:''' Well … you’re my—you’re my dad … Like, like … so … I mean … so, um … (struggling) … I was … Joshua, um …I’m Joshua … (can’t nail it) … um …<br><br>

#Cmdr. Wise ran a DNA test on Joshua.  The test results match Rex Wise's DNA.  Is this because Blue Sun hacked the biometric database on Rex Wise as part of Joshua's cover during the Borrowing? If so, why didn't they change the data back to the original once Joshua ran? Or did they restore the record only to have it destroyed with the Colchester op and the results Cmdr. Wise used for comparison was the ''back-up'' data that had somehow not been restored to its original state by Blue Sun?

#Is it possible Cmdr. Wise ''lied'' about the DNA test?  Was it an interrogation technique to get Joshua and the others to confess? If so, confess to what?

#Cmdr. Wise said he talked to Captain Linder of ''Trafalgar'' and the man told him there was no record of Lt. Cmdr. Wise ever being aboard. Why not?
 
#Cmdr. Wise also told Joshua that the last medical group that was supposed to be on ''Trafalgar'' had disappeared. Why? Were these the same people who operated on/treated our crew after the Reaver attack? Were they 'disappeared' because they'd treated us and therefore it was decided they knew too much?
 
#Were the disappearance of the medical crew and the lack of record concerning Joshua's presence aboard ''Trafalgar'' ordered by Blue Sun? Or the Alliance?  An officer from NCIS approached Joshua on ''Trafalgar'', in med bay as the crew was getting patched up, and she asked him if he wanted her to make this incident 'go away'. Was she responsible for the disappearance of the medical group?
 
 
#Cmdr. Wise seemed pretty set on an agenda: prove Joshua was his son Rex Wise, who had been kidnapped, drugged, altered via brain surgery, and brainwashed into believing he was someone else. Why? Was it just a parent's paranoia? Or was there another reason?  Did he believe his son held secret information that others were willing to do all those things in order to gain it?

#Why would brain surgery of the type done on Joshua be effective in making someone divulge secret information?  Wouldn't the subject run the risk of brain damage and be unable to recall the information sought? Why go through such an elaborate battery of surgery, drugs, and psychologica/emotional manipulation to retrieve that information when there are other quicker and less physically invasive means by which to obtain it?  Truth serum is one example.  Having a Reader deep scan the subject is another.  Given those options, why would anyone use such a roundabout and risky method?

#Lt. Cmdr. Rex Wise was a military scientist attached to the Special Science Intelligence branch of the Alliance military.  If he was involved in a secret operation that required him to pick up a shipload of Reavers on ''IAV Trafalgar'', what was the purpose of the Reavers and where was Rex Wise supposed to take them?  The ''IAV Trafalgar'' was being decommissioned.  It would have two towers of unused space--or possibly more--in which to contain them and conduct whatever studies or experiments the Reavers were destined for.  That's assuming they would remain on ''IAV Trafalgar''.  If they were supposed to go somewhere else, why have them  leave the ship they were on at all? Why not refuel the ship and continue on to their ultimate destination? And once they got there, what was going to be done with them? Military experiments? Super soldiers? Population pacifism? What?

#Because Blue Sun had Joshua Borrow Rex Wise, that must mean Blue Sun wanted to steal the shipment of Reavers out from under their owners.  Why?  Was it to cover up the fact that they had made the Reavers? Or did they have other plans for the Reavers?  And since Joshua failed to deliver the Reavers to Blue Sun, did Blue Sun find more Reavers by other means? And what were those other plans?

#The woman sent to interview the crew never gave us her name, even when asked directly.  Who was she? Is she really a civilian or was she posing as one to gain the crew's trust?  Was she a contractor to the military?  Was she really a psychiatrist or was she something else?

#The Mystery Woman who came to Joshua and asked him for help—she said that something would come up that would make it easier for him to leave.  Did she engineer the fleet deployment? Common sense would insist that she merely knew when the fleet would deploy and recognized it as a chance for Joshua to get free—no maneuvering on her part necessary.  Even so, how did she expect Joshua to escape? He was locked in his room and had no key. If he could not escape, it would only be a matter of time before the note she slipped him would be found and she would be discovered.
