I can't imagine it was anything pleasant, considering that snipers never "captured" anyone.<br/><br/>Thanks for the welcome!  I tried hard to measure up to the bios that went before.  You might well be the only security on the boat for a while, and being a "hulking mass" would certainly be a helpful trait in the rough and tumble Firefly 'verse, especially one with such an educated background.  No doubt your character is far more of a warrior than mine, who doesn't think of himself as much beyond a hunter.
