In Their Own Story
The only narrative moment involving Badger occurs within the context of the Battle of Sturges as depicted in the comic 'Serenity: Those Left Behind.' During this event, Mal Reynolds was involved in a ground campaign. When discussing this specific conflict later, Badger characterized it as the most intense and brief engagement of the entire Unification War between the Alliance and Independents. The source does not describe any dialogue, scenes, or plot points where Mal or his crew meet, speak with, or deal with Badger.
