"This is what Destiny intended from the moment it entered the star system." "We are going to survive." "We are going to make it home." "I'm telling you, the ship came here for a reason." "Destiny is powered by the stars themselves." "He and Young are bumping heads, yes." "Not sure which camp is the better choice." "We just pretend nothing happened." "We need to be ready for the next encounter." "For the sake of the crew." "For the sake of the crew." "They're coming!" "Who's coming, David?" "The Lucian Alliance, they're coming to take Destiny." "They've got something to open the doors!" " Take cover!" " Grenade!" "Fall back!" "You'll be okay." "What happened?" "You were shot." "You are surrounded." "Lay down your weapons, or we will vent the entire compartment to space." "Can they do it?" "Yes." "Then they should have." "Rush, wait!" "We will not be complying with your request to surrender." "We have 12 missing, presumed captured., including Riley, T.J.," "Chloe, and Eli." "I'm going to save every one of those hostages, and I'm going to re-take this ship." "Do you understand me?" "This is Young." "We've got the medical supplies you requested." "We are prepared to give them to you as a show of good faith." "Thank you." "One condition." "You and I meet to make the exchange." "Agreed." "Let's do this." "Brody?" "Ready." "Remember, quick kills." "Center mass." "Yes, sir." "All right." "You ready to do this?" "We're ready." "Bring the medic." "Open the door." "I'm in." "Who's this?" "Ronald Greer is also a medic." "Another offer of good faith?" "In exchange for it." "Johansen." "First things first." "Go and check the supplies and see they're what you need." "Hold your fire!" "Don't shoot!" "No, no, no!" "Power just went out throughout the whole ship!" "I can see that, Mr Brody." "Please step aside." "T.J." "Get behind me." "She takes one step in your direction, and I will shoot her myself." "I've got the shot, sir." "My men have been ordered to execute the prisoners, if I am killed." "Step back in my direction." "Sir, I've got the shot." "Stand down, Sergeant." "Dammit." "What happened?" "They surprised us." "What do you mean?" "They surprised us." "Do you want me to explain it again?" "The hostages are useless to us if they're dead!" "At least they serve a purpose." "Tell them." "Tell them!" "Colonel..." "I'm here." "She just killed Rivers." "Understood." "Hey, don't fall asleep." "It's dangerous." "That's a concussion." "Okay, then... it's boring." "So, what do you think they'll do with them?" "Who?" "The prisoners." "Probably drop them off on some planet." "I don't know." "I just hope everyone's okay." "I just hope it's over." "Well, not much we can do about it..." "So, rest time is over." "Ah, this feels familiar." "What the hell just happened?" "We still don't know." "We're just getting systems back online." "Then maybe we can analyze..." "Screw analyze!" "Fix it!" "We've got to know what's broken first." "Do it now!" "Rivers is dead." "What?" "Well, it was going to be someone." "Would you prefer it was Chloe or Eli?" "Lieutenant Johansen, perhaps?" "Don't bloody tell me you weren't thinking the same thing." "I want you to figure out what's wrong with the ship and fix it." "Fix it now." "I have orders to help." "What's your name?" "Koz." "I'll let you know what I need." "You do know there is a way to save them." "You're just not wired to consider it." "I'm not surrendering this ship." "And what exactly is so wonderful about it?" "We give up, she kills everyone except for those who have value to her, and let me tell you, that's not a hell of a lot of people." "Colonel?" "This is Young." "I would like to speak to the civilian." "This is Camile Wray." "Colonel Young has proved that he cannot be trusted." "Can you?" "Yes." "Then why did you allow them to plan an ambush?" "I voiced my disagreement." "And you could not stop them." "No, obviously not." "For that, one of your men was killed." "If you fail to live up to your promise twice," "I will kill again." "Do you understand?" "No, I don't understand," "But I do believe you." "Then I would like to take you up on your initial offer, with one modification." "Four of your men for four of ours, and food and water for three days." "Will food and water be offered to the hostages?" "They're no good to me dead." "Then we're agreed." "Next time we take supplies with us in the first wave." "If there is a next time." "Dammit." "Flashlight, flashlight!" "What's happening?" "Well, I don't know, Koz." "I'm up to my wrists in somebody's body right now." "Do we have any answers yet?" "Just the one." "Every crash has been exactly 46 minutes, 37.4 seconds apart." "So?" "Well, it'll be easier to show you." "Brody?" "Okay, so, what am I looking at?" "That's our problem." "It's a binary pulsar." "It's the combination of a rotating neutron star and probably a white dwarf orbiting around a single point in space." "What does that mean to us?" "Pulsars give off gamma radiation and x-rays as they rotate, short deadly bursts of ionized radiation." "The shield and the hull are protecting us right now." "Right, but the pulsar is literally feeding off of the white dwarf, stripping off material and creating an accretion disk." "And the white dwarf plows through that material every orbit..." "Which gives off an even bigger gamma ray burst on top of what we're already getting hit with," "And that's why our systems are shutting down." "The shield has to draw extra power in order to compensate." "And that happens every 46 minutes, 37.4 seconds." "It's what's killed their man, and it's going to be what kills us." "The Lucian Alliance just happened to dial in when the damn thing was in range." "Destiny had to drop out of FTL to make the connection." "It's bad timing, bad luck." "Well, then, why are we still here?" "Our FTL capability has been compromised." "Compromised..." "Don't yell." "We don't know why yet." "The shield is what's keeping us alive, but sooner or later, it's going to fail, and when it does..." "We're dead." "Yeah." "The radiation burst is what's causing the system malfunctions." "Which will only get worse." "Because the shield will fail eventually, yes." "Unless we can find a way to make the jump to FTL." "How much time?" "Well, according to Rush, we can withstand two more of the bursts." "People will start dying by the third." "I saw what one of those bursts did to a man" "When he wasn't protected by the ship's hull." "First we'll make the trade, and then we'll discuss this new problem." "Has their medic completed Varro's surgery?" "Not yet." "Well, then, find out what's taking so long." "I'll do it." "Lieutenant, she told me to check on your progress." "Tell her it'd be a hell of a lot faster if the damn lights didn't keep going off." "Well, that's a whole other problem." "Destiny came out of FTL within range of a pulsar." "We don't have much time before the shield fails." "Colonel Young and his people are trying to solve it, but..." "She won't let them." "I'll do my best to convince her." "You do that." "Lieutenant Scott?" "We've got the supplies that they requested, and we're ready to make the prisoner exchange." "Copy that." "I'm fine, I'm fine." "And Varro?" "I've done all I can for him." "Hold it steady." "Here, use this one." "Will he live?" "I got the bullet out and stopped the bleeding, so he should have a chance." "I'd like to take a look at the other wounded." "Fine." "Let's go." "You got it?" "Camile?" "Camile?" "What's this?" "A flak vest." "Just in case." "How can I expect them to trust me if I can't even demonstrate a willingness to trust them in turn?" "With all due respect, ma'am," "I don't think they can be trusted." "You tell Colonel Young I appreciate his concern." "Yeah, the Colonel said you wouldn't take it." "I just thought I'd try anyway." "Are you sure about this, sir?" "No." "Good enough for me." "I hope you make a better impression than I did." "Commander Kiva, are you ready?" "We are." "Brody, open it." "Lieutenant, thank you." "I'll take it from here." "Okay, Mr. Brody." "I asked for civilians." "These are the two we had." "We agreed on four for four." "Four." "What about Lieutenant Johansen?" "She stays." "Even if we figure out a way to jump back into FTL, and right now, the odds are not good..." "Then we'll be right back where we started." "Yes, but this doesn't have to end with one of us losing." "If we could just figure out a way to work with each other..." "I can see that you're someone who enjoys talking through problems, but if you don't solve this new one, then neither of us will have anything to talk about." "Brody." "All right, get in the infirmary." "Where's Chloe and Eli?" "She said they were the only two civilians." "Then where the hell are they?" "It's gonna be just..." "Oh, sorry, sorry." "Sorry..." "Take a break, Eli." "No, no, no!" "We've got to be getting close by now." "You know what?" "We should do this twice a week." "This is the kind of exercise that really motivates me." "Carrying a wounded person the length of the whole ship in low oxygen?" "Good times." "Thank you, Eli." "Wait till it's your turn to carry me." "You're an amazing friend." "You can never have too many of those." "Unless you're one of those people on Facebook who just accepts everybody's friend request." "It's like, come on, you know, be a little selective." "Eli!" "Dammit!" "Sorry." "Sorry..." "It's okay." "Are you okay?" "I'm okay." "Sorry." "Okay, thanks." "There's no sign of Eli or Chloe." "You know, maybe they..." "There's no fatalities on our side except for Rivers." "They must be hiding somewhere." "I hope so." "Look, that boy would take a bullet before he'd let them touch a hair on her head." "Lieutenant..." "Don't get distracted." "I'm not, I'm not, I just..." "I just want to get this done with." "And I wish the Colonel would give the word so that we can go in there and properly resolve the situation." "Look, he'll do the right thing when the right time comes." "You got to trust that, 100%." "I don't know how you do it, man." "Well, you need to learn." "Thank you." "Your commander already showed her appreciation by not killing me." "It must be difficult to be forced to save the life of your enemy." "No." "I would have done it anyway." "How's the pain?" "Bearable." "Look, I'm trying to say..." "I don't really care." "I've been on my feet for far too long, and I have other patients, so excuse me." "Conserving air, or unconscious?" "Just thinking." "About what?" "I used to think I had a lot of friends, but I don't." "They're a billion light years away, but they're still your friends." "No, they don't really care about me." "And I don't really care about them either." "That's nice." "No, no, because until I met you," "I didn't really know what a friend was." "Do you know what I mean, Eli?" "No." "A friend is someone who will support you no matter what." "Like you." "Chloe, why don't we..." "And I am not just saying that because I feel like I'm going to pass out, and even if I do, I just want to say it first..." "And you did, so..." "But whenever I say stuff like that to you, you always react like I've just awarded you some runner-up prize, and it's not." "I know." "It's... it's just that..." "I know." "Of course you do." "Hey..." "There's a console over there." "I didn't notice that when we came in." "And it's got power." "Can you call for help?" "I can try." "Dr. Park?" "Look, it's not much of a solution, but we don't have to shield the entire ship." "Just the side facing the pulsar, right?" "Right." "We'll have to leave some shielding on the underside of the ship, but we should be able to transfer something like 90%." "Should buy us enough time to restore FTL capability." "So why haven't you guys done it yet?" "Because it can't be done from inside the ship." "Well, it could if we had control of the core systems..." "No, no, look, look, someone's got to have to go for a walk." "I can tell you where to go and what to do." "The mechanics of it are relatively simple." "Well, then why don't you put on a space suit and do it?" "Well, you get the FTL drive back online while I'm gone, and you got a deal." "We'll get it done, sir." "I know you will." "Gear up." "They have only the time between the gamma ray bursts to complete their work." "The next one is less than 20 minutes from now, so obviously time is an issue." "So what do you need from us?" "There's a hull breach in the access corridor that's under your control." "It's the exit point closest to the array." "We need you to let us in." "Transfer control of all the ship systems to us, and we will let them in." "You do understand that if you don't help us save this ship, we will all die." "Oh, I understand completely, and I want you to transfer the ship's systems to us." "When was the last time you ran a security sweep in there?" "Never mind, I'll do it." "Radio?" "Calvos, this is Telford." "Give me access to the damaged section." "You tell me." "You think she's bluffing?" "She doesn't have to." "She knows who she's dealing with." "But to be fair, you don't have much of a choice." "At least they'll keep some us alive, for a while, anyway." "Yeah, like you." "You forget I've recently been in their employment." "I wouldn't envy me just yet." "David?" "Yeah, Everett." "It's about damn time." "Listen, do it." "Transfer control of the ship and surrender yourselves." "Everyone but Rush and Brody." "Have them retreat to one of the auxiliary control rooms." "They're going to notice Rush is missing." "Tell them he panicked and ran away." "They'll believe it." "By the time they start looking for him, it'll be too late." "At the first available opportunity," "I'll access one of the gateroom consoles and transfer control of the ship back to Rush." "The second they find out, they're going to start shooting prisoners." "Then I won't let them find out." "Not right away, anyway." "I won't lock them out completely." "They can have control of the ship until I decide they can't." "They'll herd all of the prisoners into one compartment." "If they don't, I'll suggest it." "When they do, I'll contact Rush on this channel," "I'll tell him which compartment, then he can vent the atmosphere from all the surrounding ones." "Where are you going to be?" "You let me worry about that." "I got to go." "It's all clear." "Best not to stick around." "This is Colonel Young." "I am prepared to surrender control of this ship provided certain conditions are met." "Go ahead." "I need you to guarantee me the safety of my people." "Agreed." "Nobody gets hurt during the changeover, and no retribution afterwards." "Anything else?" "That's all." "Well, Mr. Brody, time to panic and run off." "Hold on a sec." "We just got a message from an unexplored part of the ship." "It's Eli." "What are we going to do?" "Well, you got to go." "Good luck." "Yeah, you too." "Transfer control to them." "Anything?" "I wrote it in Ancient, so it could take a while for somebody to..." "What is it?" "We got a message." "What's it say?" "Oh, no!" "We'd better stay put." "Transfer complete." "Open them." "No shooting." "That's a good sign." "I think the stitching is torn." "You're moving around too much." "I understand your anger at losing the ship, but it wasn't really yours to begin with." "When all this is settled, past sins on both sides will have to be forgiven." "Truce?" "Open them." "46 minutes, gentlemen." "Yes, sir." "They're in." "Attenuating the shield strength in that compartment." "Dialing back artificial gravity." "Commander, one of the power relays just went down." "Something wrong?" "We lost a power relay." "Then why aren't you dealing with it?" "Go." "Go!" "I can open and close doors." "This is it?" "Yeah, it's where he said it was going to be." "No, no, no!" "What happened?" "The transfers just stopped." "What's the matter?" "It won't lock." "Colonel Young, this is Scott." "How are we doing for time?" "14 minutes." "This is Calvos." "Kiva and Telford have both been shot." "The commander is still breathing but unconscious." "Get them to the medic." "Yes, sir." "Is there any sign of the enemy?" "None." "Where are your men?" "What?" "Your soldiers." "How did they get into the gateroom?" "I don't know what the hell you're talking about." "I've got people outside this ship!" "The enemy has somehow breached our lines." "Both Telford and Kiva have been shot." "I'm assuming command." "Colonel Young, this is Scott." "Ready to come back in." "Lower the shield." "I repeat, this is Scott, over." "The shield is still up." "We cannot get back inside." "They just saved our damn lives." "Lower the shield." "Keep moving." "Lower the damn shield!" "Lower the shield." "Try a different channel!" "This is Scott." "Please respond!" "Lieutenant, something's gone wrong." "We have to find you another way back inside the ship." "No, no, no, there's no time for that, Rush!" "Whoa, whoa, what other way is there?" "There's an airlock in the forward section." "Yeah, we think it's an airlock." "It's in a totally unexplored part of the ship." "Besides, we can't open it from here." "Eli..." "Eli." "Lieutenant, I need you to head back towards the front of the ship." "Negative, negative!" "Listen to me, that's the way in." "We're looking at the way in right now." "You need to go there as quickly as you can." "Go right now." "We're on our way." "What's going on?" "I'm getting a message." "What's it say?" "That I gotta go." "What do you mean?" "I'm telling them where you are, so you'll be safe until they come." "Where are you going?" "Whatever happens, you know, right?" "Eli, you're scaring me." "I gotta go." "Eli!" "Calvos... what happened?" "Come on..." "Separate the civilians." "Take them to another compartment." "This is Varro." "What are you doing?" "I'm going to put an end to this." "Bring their injured soldiers to me." "Not if you expect me to save your commander." "They're not going to make it."
