"RUSH:" "This is what Destiny intended from the moment it entered the star system." "YOUNG:" "That ship is the best chance we have of getting home." " Are we done?" " We'll never be done." "WRAY:" "You shouldn't have left him on the planet." "YOUNG:" "You think I don't know that?" "CHLOE:" "Everyone thinks we're safe." "They think that they'll never find us again." "Why did you take one of our people prisoner?" "(SNARLS)" "CHLOE:" "We're not safe, are we?" " TELFORD:" "They're coming!" " Who's coming?" "Lucian Alliance." "They're coming to take Destiny." "RUSH:" "There's only one way this is going to end if we wait." "YOUNG:" "I'm not surrendering this ship." "CHLOE:" "Once I've changed completely, the Colonel will see me as a threat." " Will it be you?" " I came to ask for your forgiveness." "I forgive you, Ronald." "That looks like our shuttle." "RUSH:" "The shuttle was restored to its original condition, better than it was before." "JOHANSEN:" "If they can send our people back to us, don't you think it's possible they can save our daughter?" "I need to know." "VARRO:" "I know that there were no cabins, certainly no children." "YOUNG:" "Simeon killed the man guarding him, then he killed Ginn." "Don't you act like you are the only person aboard this ship that has lost someone that they care about." "(COMPUTER BUZZING)" " Where's Eli?" " He hasn't shown yet." " (STATIC BUZZES)" " Eli, where are you?" "Eli, you're needed on the bridge." " (BUZZING CONTINUES) - (SIGHS)" "(BUZZING STOPS)" "Thanks." "I'm not sure what happened there." " I think I must've..." " Yeah, yeah, very interesting." "(POWERING DOWN)" "VOLKER:" "Whoops." "RUSH:" "Mr. Volker?" "Sorry, I was running a diagnostic on the ship's power distribution network, and I think..." "Did you remember to bypass the critical systems?" "Uh..." "No." "(POWERING UP)" "There we go." "BRODY:" "This is interesting." "Looks like Destiny picked up some sort of remote energy signature." "Mr. Brody, please don't make me come over there." "Why don't you be my guest?" "So?" "YOUNG:" "What do you mean, "distant"?" "We're on a spaceship in the middle of nowhere." "From where I'm sitting, everything is distant." "This energy signature, it's come from an area outside of the course mapped out for us by the seed ships." "Now, getting there would take a bit of a detour." " How much of a detour?" " About a day's journey in FTL." "We have any guesses what it could be?" "It could be potential new power source, signs of intelligent life." "Big black monolith orbiting a planet?" " Sorry." "Overslept." " There's no way of telling, which is precisely why we should investigate." "Whoa, whoa!" "Whatever happened to, "Destiny has a mission,"" "and, "We're all on board and moving forward"?" "This isn't forward." "This is sideways." "We haven't abandoned the mission, Mr. Brody, merely delaying it." "But Lisa's right." "This energy signature could be indicative of intelligent life." " Best case scenario, in my opinion." " For real?" "Do I have to remind everyone what happened the last time we encountered an alien life form?" "Or the time before that?" "Or the time before that?" "Yeah, but you can't judge a neighborhood by a bunch of bad neighbors." "Are you kidding?" "That's exactly how you judge a neighborhood." "Look, it's possible that whatever's out there could be of great benefit to both, ourselves and Destiny's mission." " Okay, check it out." " Let's plot a new course." "(SIGHS)" "How do you do that?" "Okay, let's get Chloe up here." "She can make the necessary calculations." "(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING ON EARPHONES)" "(KNOCKING CONTINUES)" " I tried radioing you." " Sorry." "Sorry, had my music on." " We're about to drop out of FTL." " Ah, okay." "Thanks." " ELI:" "Is that..." " Ships, or what's left of them." "That is one hell of a battlefield." "WRAY:" "Was a battlefield." "Now it's a graveyard." "So..." "Uh, turns out the energy signature Destiny locked onto was the clustered radiation pockets of the various ships." "It looks like at least one of them is familiar to us." "That's the same type of ship you and Dr. Rush explored a couple weeks back." "Yeah, from the looks of things, they came out the losers in this fight." "I'm having Destiny's computer run a program that'll plot back some of these dispersion patterns." "Hopefully then we'll get a better idea of what's going on here." "In the meantime?" "In the meantime, Colonel, we've come a long way." "It seems a shame to leave empty-handed." "I suggest a bit of cautious exploration." "Mr. Brody, maybe you'd do the honors this time." "You know, it's like a space junkyard." "(CHUCKLING) Ships, hundreds of them, scattered in pieces, far as the eye can see." "It's... (SIGHS) It's damn creepy." "Anyway, I just thought I'd let you know what's going on." " (STAMMERS) What's the matter?" " I already told you, visiting me is a waste of time." "I don't want you putting your life on hold just so you can come here and watch me disappear." " (CHUCKLES) Disappear?" "Chloe..." " It's spreading faster now." "I've tried to fight it, control it, but it's stronger than me." "Sooner or later, I'm going to stop being me and become something else, something dangerous, that won't be allowed to stay on the ship." "I won't let that happen." "There's nothing you can do to stop it." "The best we can do is make use of me while I'm still me." "Will you stop talking like this?" " Why, Matt?" "Why deny the inevitable?" " Because it is not inevitable." "Of course it is, and deep down, you know it." "You've already started pulling away." "When was the last time we spent the night together?" "You see?" "(INHALES) You know it's true." "YOUNG ON RADIO:" "Lieutenant Scott?" "(SIGHS)" "Lieutenant Scott." "Sir." "I need you to suit up and meet us at the shuttle." "Right away." "This conversation isn't over." "(SNIFFLES)" "(SOBBING)" " They need me on the bridge." " Oh, Dr. Rush says he could spare you." " He did?" " Mmm-hmm." "(SIGHS) I'll save you the trouble." "I'm not crazy, which is pretty darn impressive, all things considered." "I went from living at home with my mom to being stranded on a spaceship billions of light years from Earth." "And screw the last starfighter, because all those hours playing Halo didn't prepare me for this." "No one was prepared for this." "Everyone else had some sort of training, but, hey, I've come a long way in my 10 months." "I've fought space battles, survived deadly radiation, time-traveled, sort of." "I'm still trying to figure that one out." "I don't think you're crazy." "At least, no crazier than the rest of us." "Really?" "Okay, then." "Good chat." "This isn't a psych eval, Eli." "This is just two friends talking." "(SCOFFS)" "You have been a little distracted lately, and that has some of us worried." "You guys are worried because I'm a little distracted?" "We're worried because, given the recent events, you should be a hell of a lot more than just a little distracted." "The memorial video you put together for Sergeant Riley, it was very moving." "You know what's weird?" "Sometimes, I'll forget that he's gone." "I'll actually walk into the Gate Room and turn my head, and then, for a split second, I'll wonder where the hell he is," "and then I remember." "He was a very important part of your life here." "When your whole world collapses down to less than 100 people in a confined space, it all becomes important to you, Camile." "Riley was part of this ship, and losing him, it wasn't just..." "It wasn't just sad." "It was wrong." "What about losing Ginn?" "So, when did you finish fixing the third suit?" "Yesterday." "It's perfectly safe." "GREER:" "All right, wait, well, then, how come I'm wearing it and you're not?" "BRODY:" "Easier to fix if something goes wrong." "Which it won't, in all likelihood." "(POWERING UP)" " All right, Colonel, we are good to go." " All right." "Take her out." "(ON RADIO) Have a look around." " Heading out." " Lieutenant, be careful out there." "This is amazing." " I don't know." " (CHUCKLING)" "What, you're telling me you're not the least bit weirded out flying through this?" "Nah." "Anything that could hurt us is long dead and gone, brother." "How goes it, Lieutenant?" "SCOTT:" "Fine." "We're coming up on a target of opportunity here." "RUSH:" "Yeah, we see it." "SCOTT:" "Looks more or less intact." " (SENSOR BEEPS)" " Picking up faint EM readings." "SCOTT:" "We've got an access point on the ship's left side." "Should we check it out?" "Sir?" " You're good to go, Lieutenant." " SCOTT:" "Yes, sir." "All right, let's do this." " Sorry I'm late!" " No, you're just in time." " Engaging reverse thrusters." " (MACHINERY WHIRRING)" "All right, this is as close as we're going to get." "Hats on, gentlemen." "GREER:" "Let's go explore." "I'll see you on the other side." "(CLANKS)" "I'm on board." "(COCKS RIFLE)" "I'm ready for you." "On my way." "Come on, I've got you." "Mr. Brody's en route." "GREER:" "We're both on board." "Have a look around, see if there's anything you can salvage." "Hey, this way." "Hey, and, uh, watch your asses over there, okay?" "BRODY:" "Just do me a favor and don't touch anything." "If you see something you want to investigate, just let me look at it first." " (BANGS)" " Wow, what did I just say?" "Door panel's dead." "Hold on." "Here." " (CREAKING)" " That's it, just use the shoulder." "You might want to move up so you can get a little more leverage." " Do you want to help?" " Okay." "All right, then just shut up and let me work, okay?" "Okay." "(GRUNTING)" "Come on, come on, come on!" "(CREAKING)" "(DOOR HISSES OPEN)" "Hi, I brought you some lunch." "Great." "Sitting around in this room all day really works up an appetite." "Well, you can hardly blame the Colonel for confining you to quarters after what happened with Simeon." "I understand, but you have to realize that Simeon was unstable." " And you knew, but you didn't tell us." " I thought I could control him." "But you couldn't." "I know." "I haven't seen you in a while." "I wanted to come by." "I've just been busy." "Your people, the ones who came back from the planet," " they didn't have your child?" " No." "I was wrong about that." "I was misled." "Possibly." "There's no other explanation for it." "This ship has demonstrated the ability to mess with people's minds." "In my case, I guess it was trying to protect me." "I should get back to the infirmary." " What is it?" " I'm not sure." "Talk to me." "What's your situation, Sergeant?" "GREER:" "Dark, and real quiet." "Too quiet." "(ON RADIO) Colonel, this is T.J." "Go ahead." "I've just seen some movement in the debris field." "What kind of movement?" "To be honest, I'm not sure." "It happened so fast, I just thought I should report it." "All right, thanks for that." "(CONSOLE BEEPS)" "What the hell was that?" "It's Destiny letting us know it finished assembling the simulation." "Either that, or pie's done." "Nope, simulation." "Ready?" "(BLEEPING)" " What are those leftover pieces?" " No idea." "Oh, no." "We got to get out of here." " Why?" " Two sides battle." "These guys, they're destroyed, but these guys, they just go dark." "They're not disabled or damaged." "They're dormant." "Lieutenant, I need you to fall back to the Destiny." "But Sergeant Greer and Brody just boarded the wreck, sir." "I need you to get them out of there immediately." "You may be in danger." "Yes, sir." "Greer, did you get that?" "We're on our way." "What in the hell?" " Come again, Lieutenant?" " I think I just saw something." " YOUNG:" "What is it?" " I'm not sure." "(GASPS)" "Colonel, this is Camile." "We're not alone out here." "Sir, you have potential hostiles en route!" "Shields to full." "Ready weapons." "Fire only on my command." "Eli, I want you to broadcast a message." "In Ancient?" "Ancient, English, Bat Signal, whatever else you've got." "Tell them we are not a threat." "Greer, I need you guys back here now!" "(ALARM SOUNDING)" "I've got to go." "Tamara!" "Let me help." "They're closing." "(HISSING)" "Hey, we have more monitors." "Come on, come on!" "GREER:" "Go." "BRODY:" "Start her up!" " Shields are up." " Any response from our message?" "None." "(RUMBLING)" " Move it!" "Let's go!" " Go!" "Return fire." "(BLEEPING)" "We have a breach in one of the unoccupied sections." "I'm sealing it now." "BRODY:" "Good to go?" "GREER:" "We're good." "We're good." "SCOTT:" "All right." "Okay, here we go!" "Shields are weakening." " RUSH:" "Transfer power from weapons." " We have multiple overloads!" " Reroute, reroute!" " (EXPLOSIONS)" " We have to jump." " The shuttle's not back yet." " We cannot afford to wait, Mr. Volker!" " We are not going anywhere!" "(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)" "(PEOPLE SCREAMING)" "MAN:" "Let's go, let's go!" "This way!" "Go, go, go!" "WOMAN:" "This way!" "Keep your eyes open." " Two o'clock." "Right there." "See him?" " I see him, I see him!" "SCOTT:" "All right, we are on board!" " All right, get us out of here." " (CONSOLE BEEPING)" " It's not working." " FTL engines are offline." " They must have taken a hit." " How long till we get them back?" "(BEEPING)" "Shields are weakening, and we've got some weapons down." "Several areas of the ship have gone dark." "It's just a matter of time before the shields fail." "All we have are sublight engines." "We'll never outrun them." "We're going to have to try." "VOLKER:" "A ship just dropped out of FTL." "(CONSOLE BEEPING)" " (RUMBLING)" " It's a seed ship." "(ON SPEAKER) Destiny, this is Telford." "David, how the hell..." "No time for that now." "I need you to follow us." " Where the hell are we going?" " It's on the move." " Where are they going?" " Directly towards the star." "(EXPLOSION)" "Let's follow them." "Divert all remaining power to the shields." "(CONSOLE BEEPING)" "(POWERING DOWN)" "Here we go." "(FIRING)" "We're coming through the other side." "That bought us some time, but we only have as long as it takes them to get around the star." "TELFORD:" "Hey, you're welcome." "Let's dock." "I got a hell of a story to tell you, and not much time to tell it." "Gentlemen." "This is pretty damn impressive." "Not as impressive as flying a seed ship to our rescue." "Yeah, well, I had plenty of help with that one." "The aliens we encountered while exploring it, turns out they weren't hostile after all," "just desperate." "After Destiny disconnected and made the jump to FTL," "I figured I was a goner." "I was surrounded." "They had me at their mercy." "But they ended up being friendly." "I wouldn't go so far as to call them friendly, but, uh, they weren't exactly interested in harming me either." "They were curious." "I tried communicating with them, but that was next to impossible." "I mean, verbally, anyway, so we found a shortcut." "Their stasis pods are outfitted with neural stimulators designed to keep their occupants' brains active during extended hibernations, so when they hooked me up..." "It's hard to describe the experience." "It was like watching an entire film library in less than a day." "I saw images, thousands of them." "Most were a blur, totally incomprehensible, but others were clearer." "And over time, the pieces drifted together, and I was able to form a basic understanding of the aliens and their history." "They call themselves the Ursini, and after a while, they began to trust me." "Eventually, working together, we were able to bring the seed ship online." "Trying to chase you down ever since." "You've been gone for almost a month." "What did you do for food and water?" "The pods provide basic nutrients to their occupants." "I never thought I'd say this, but I missed the food here on Destiny." "So, wait a minute, these aliens helped you out of the goodness of their hearts?" "There's a little more to it than that." "They need our help." "ELI:" "The ships that came after us are automated attack drones." "Apparently, years ago, Telford's aliens, the Ursini, made the same mistake that we did and woke them up, and they've been fighting them ever since." "When they discovered the seed ship, they boarded it for..." "For long-term reconnaissance, hoping it would give them an edge in their war against the drones." "Their stay onboard was supposed to be temporary, but no one ever went back for them." "They were in stasis for who knows how long before we came around." "They drained the power away from Destiny because they were desperate, just looking for a way home, and now, even though they finally have a way back, they're afraid to make contact until they're sure that the drone threat is over," "which is where we come in." "We can't trust them." "(CHUCKLES) Our FTL drives are offline." "We really don't have much of a choice." "So what are we going to do, then?" "That's..." "That's still being discussed." "You know, it's only a matter of time before the drones circumvent that star and find us, and with the FTL engines still offline, we're sitting ducks." "Maybe not." "Maybe there's a way out of this." "We help the Ursini defeat the drones." "We barely survived our first encounter with those things." "That's just because we were going about it the wrong way." "According to Telford, the drones are controlled by a command ship." "Now, we take out that command ship, we cripple the drones." " Simple as that." " I doubt it'll be simple." "I'm hoping for a step up from impossible." "Do we know where this command ship is located?" "They do." "It's out of sublight range." "We would have to make the jump." "And have you explained that our jumping capabilities have been compromised?" "Telford has made them aware of the situation." "They've offered to give us a lift." "I don't understand." "They engage their FTL drives while we're docked, and we jump with them." " That's possible?" " Theoretically, yes." "Hmm. "Theoretically."" "There's always a risk when you attempt a jump so soon after a drop-out," " but assuming it works..." " Hmm." "...first they take us someplace safe, then we play for time, delay them long enough till we can get our own FTL engines back online." " Double-cross them, you mean." " Yeah." "No, we can't do that." "If they have offered to help us..." "It's a fantastic opportunity to take advantage of their generosity, yes." " (WRAY SIGHS)" " That's not a good idea." "Why not?" "I mean, at that point, they're in no position to harm us." "No, but in case you've forgotten, they still hold the key to us dialing Earth." "Where are Park and Brody?" "ELI:" "Effecting repairs on some of the damaged systems." "And what are you doing?" "Monitoring the ship's power levels." "Yeah?" "It might interest you to know that you're bleeding energy from one of the weapons platforms." "Shoot." "(CONSOLE BEEPING)" "Here." "(TAPPING)" "Go and help Park and Brody." " I'm in the middle of the..." " Go." "Maybe I'll go help Park and Brody." "I know." "I screwed up." "No." "It's a minor oversight, one of many, as of late, but you haven't screwed up." "Not yet, anyway." "I'm sure with your present attitude, it's only a matter of time." "Yeah, you know, I get it." "People are depending on the boy genius." "I can't let them down." "And yet, despite all that genius, you couldn't save the life of the woman you loved." "What?" "Someone bigger and stronger came along, took her away from you, and there wasn't a thing you could do about it." "I'm sure you were so blinded by rage you even imagined getting revenge on the guy that killed her, beating the bully at his own game." "Even if you had, it wouldn't have changed a damn thing." "You'd still be getting up in the morning, she'd still be dead." "I'm out of here." "You know, we grew up taught to believe that everyone's equal, that you're no better than anyone else." "(SCOFFING) Of course, that's a lie." "Some are better than others, and it's those who recognize what makes them better, and learn to exploit that, who succeed." "You've got so much potential, Eli." "You're capable of success beyond your wildest dreams, but the only way that you can achieve that, you've got to make sure you don't get beaten down." "You can't give up, not now you're so close." "YOUNG:" "Am I interrupting something?" "Telford communicated with the Ursini and is on his way back from the seed ship." "Looks like we got ourselves a deal." "All right, let's let them know we're ready." "So this should work, in principle." "It's really no different than when the shuttle jumps in FTL with Destiny." "Except that the shuttle is massively smaller than Destiny, and designed to do that, while we're three times the size of the seed ship and just hoping for the best." "There's also the fact that we're attempting to jump in the three-hour danger window." "But what's the worst that can happen?" "It doesn't work." "VOLKER: (CHUCKLES) Hell, no." "It actually does work, and at some point we detach, and the ship's million-year-old structural integrity gives, and we end up vaporized." "That's the worst that can happen." "Are you guys done?" "Less than a minute before we jump." " Here we go." " (INTERCOM BEEPS)" "We are about to attempt the coupled jump into FTL." "In approximately four hours, we will drop out to a safer area." "Once there, we'll have time to effect any necessary repairs before launching the attack on the command ship." "Counting down from three, two," "one." " It's working." "We're in FTL." " (EXHALES)" "And we're still in one piece." " How we doing?" " Shields are strong and holding." "Structural integrity sound." "Did they tell you?" "We made a deal." "Once we've defeated the command ship, the aliens are going to help us dial Earth." "Chloe?" "Are you okay?" "(WHOOSHING)" "VOLKER:" "We dropped out of FTL." "PARK:" "Already?" "Maybe there's a problem." "Contact the seed ship." "VOLKER:" "Oh, no." "PARK:" "What is that?" "I'm guessing that's their command ship." " We've been tricked." " So much for our deal with the Ursini." "(BEEPING)" " We just got a message from the seed ship." " YOUNG:" "What does it say?" ""Target the command vessel."" "Damn it." "Colonel?" "Let's engage the enemy." "(CONSOLE BEEPING)" "I've got to get back to the bridge." "(GROANS)" "Let me help." " Whoa, where are you taking her?" " To the bridge." "I have to check with the Colonel." "MAN:" "Over here!" "Get in there!" "WOMAN:" "Run!" "Shields are holding!" "The drones have positioned themselves between Destiny and the command ship." " We're not getting anywhere near it." " Captain, this is Eli." "Chloe escaped her quarters." " Where the hell did she go?" " I have no idea!" "But she might be dangerous." "Brody, seal off that section." " Lieutenant Scott?" " We'll find her, sir." "(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)" " What the hell happened?" " Change of plans." "I guess your friends suspected a double-cross and decided to act first." "(EXPLOSIONS)" "(BUZZING)" "(INDISTINCT CHATTER)" "(GASPS)" "This is Lieutenant Scott." "Chloe has broken containment." "(RUMBLING)" " (BEEPING)" " Shields are starting to weaken!" "Let's get a message to the seed ship." "Tell them we need to make a strategic retreat." "We'll regroup, take another run at this later." " Glad you could make it." "Where's Rush?" " No clue." " How we doing?" " There's just too many of them." "(PEOPLE CHATTERING)" "You said you wanted to help me?" "Here's your chance." "(EXPLOSIONS RUMBLING)" "Put one under..." "Under like this." "Chloe?" "Chloe!" "Step away from that console." " Chloe!" " It's too late." " What did you do?" " (EXPLOSIONS RUMBLING)" "Chloe, what did you do?" "Shields are weakening, and several weapons platforms are down!" " Damn it." " What do they say?" "Nothing." "They're not responding." "VOLKER:" "The drones are giving as good as they get." "There's no way we're getting to that command ship." " We might want to consider falling back." " There's nowhere to fall back to." "(EXPLOSIONS)"
