Simon is not entirely sure how he happened to wind up accidentally finding his way to the bridge. No more is he sure why nobody seems to have noticed that he's there. It seems, however, that Simon is not the only person to have found himself here unexpectedly.

While Simon's instinct is to apologize and turn to leave, it seems that the other man -- clearly one of Q's abductees judging by his clothing -- has no such idea. He has chosen, instead, to seat himself in the large chair at the centre of the room that surely must belong to the captain, if Simon is any judge.

Of course, his experience of the functioning of spaceships beyond the Enterprise is limited to Serenity, but he does know how protective Mal is of his ship, and how jealously he sometimes guards the privilege of being on the bridge while the ship is flying.

"I'm, uh, fairly certain the captain wouldn't appreciate you doing that."
