"Hey, enough with the flailin'. You're not in any danger here." Well, not at the moment. But he didn't need to be telling the lady that. "Like I said, my name's Captain Mal Reynolds, and the only thing I want from you is for you to relax. I'm guessin' that won't happen real fast, and I get that. But I'm not about to hurt you."
He dropped his hand to one side and did what he could to look friendly and nonthreatening. "We've all been brought here for the same reason - to fight some enemy called the Ohm. They destroyed our worlds, and now we gotta fight 'em. If we don't, then our worlds might..." Mal paused, and dropped his gaze to the ground. "Our worlds might be gone for good."
