03x06 - One Last Card to Play

[bunniefuu]

I was able to rescue her
digital consciousness.

You can neurally
connect to her world.

--You're not tabor.
--Oh, right, the amnesia thing.

Tabor told me. Adrian maro,
tabor's former assistant.

We were kinda hoping
maybe we could stay

with you guys for a while.

Wait!

The needle was poisoned.

Round up his family
and his closest friends.

Guilty or not,
an example must be made.

I want two dozen
prisoners to a cargo hold.





No more, no less.

Let's go.

Move.

Come on.

Move. Let's go.

The journey to inari-7
should take less than 48 hours.

In this time,
you'll be questioned

regarding any anti-imperial
acts you may have witnessed

or any suspicions you may have

regarding neighbors'
or friends' loyalty.

We're loyal to emperor ishida!

Our people have proudly served

the royal court for generations.

And yet one of your
fellow clansmen





plotted to k*ll
our beloved emperor.

None of us had prior knowledge
of his intentions.

We'll see about that.

You have no right
to keep us here.

We're following
the emperor's orders.

Are you questioning
his right to rule over you?

I question a ruler who would
deny his subjects their freedom

on the basis of unfounded
suspicion and fear!

I accept your confession
of treason.

No. No, no, no, no.

No!

I'm loyal to the emperor!

No! Please!

Would anyone else
like to question

the royal court's
decision in this matter?

Glad to see you're
taking this seriously.

For your information,
i was only pretending to sleep.

Hmm.

It's much easier to eavesdrop

when no one knows
you're listening.

Right, so the snoring
was just for show?

I had to convince him.

And the drool?

It's the little details
that make it work.

So what did you learn?

Gideon. He's the one in charge.

Think we can convince him?

What, you worried
all this ain't enough?

Rumor has it you're
the one in charge here--

aside from our
ishida captors, that is.

I look after my people
as best I can.

And that includes most everyone
we came on board with--

'cept you two.

So who are you?

All you need to know
is that we're here to help.

How?

Gettin' you off
this ship, for starters.

That assassination attempt

made the emperor look weak.

Now he's gonna make a big show
of stamping out any disloyalty.

Like it or not,
you're a part of that show.

And by "show,"
she's talking about

a very public round
of executions

just to prove it to everyone
he's still in charge.

Even if we could escape,
where would we go?

We got contacts
in the outer colonies,

the ones that have recently
declared independence.

And they'd help us?

They already agreed
to take you in.

This is a new life
for you and your people,

one where no one
has any power over you.

All you have to do
is seize the opportunity--

by helping us take this ship.

Reports of losses
are still coming in,

but it looks like
the blockade has held.

Good.

Redirect ships from
the atria sector.

Reinforce our positions
along chara 2 and 3.

But that may leave atria
vulnerable to att*ck.

The planets in that sector have
proven valuable allies.

And their sacrifice will be
recognized if it comes to that.

The blockade is our priority.

Yes, emperor. I'll see it done.

Thank you, general ueda.

Teku, what news?

Are we any closer to
identifying the co-conspirators?

To be frank, heika,

I don't believe there were any.

We have questioned
many of his people,

but none could provide
any information

about the attempt on your life.

Well, perhaps the examiners

aren't asking
the right questions.

I'd like to announce the
conspirators have been caught

and set a date for their trial
by the end of the week.

But, emperor--

it is best to move
quickly in these matters

to give the people the
reassurance they deserve.

Don't you agree?

Yes, emperor.

We hit them after
their next check-in.

That'll give us 20 minutes
to take the bridge.

What do you need us to do?

Create a distraction
so we can take out the guards.

Then we'll deal with the rest.

But we can help you
take the bridge.

You'll just get in the way...
And probably get k*lled.

At least let us free our friends
from the other cargo holds.

This needs to go down
quick and quiet.

If they discover
any of us are missing,

they'll enact a lockdown,
and then we're all screwed.

We'll handle it.

She's going with you.

We just told you--

Look, she's one person.

She won't slow you down.

Can you fight?

Served for five years
with the planetary guard.

Want a demonstration?

That won't be necessary.

Okay, you're with us.

Might just pull this off.

What, you had doubts?

Never.

Here we go.

Yup.

Hey!

Hey!

Let's go.

Sit tight.

Turn that thing off!

Relax, sweetheart.

Hard part's over.

Okay, I've got full control
of the ship's systems,

and I've just locked down
the interior corridors.

Now free the prisoners.

Yup, you got it.

Oh, my god.

They're opening the air lock!

What are you doing?!

Cleaning house.

Commander truffault,
you are receiving

a subspace transmission
from an unauthorized source.

Has the sender
identified themselves?

Yes, commander.

They claim to be
the crew of the raza.

Put them through.

Hello, commander.
How goes the w*r?

The mikkei combine
has managed to stay out of it.

How long will that last?

Well, hopefully until the end
of this unfortunate conflict.

At which point mikkei
will step into the power vacuum

unscathed and resource rich?

You really think ferrous
is gonna let that happen?

I'm not sure they'll have
much of a choice.

Their hands are rather full.

Now, either you've redecorated,

or you've found
yourselves a new ship.

Yes.

We have doubled
the size of our fleet.

I'm surprised.

I thought you and emperor ishida
weren't on the best of terms.

Oh, we aren't.

This cruiser isn't so much lent
as it is liberated.

Stealing warships...

My, you've upped your game.

This ship does
have a lot of firepower,

but that's not why we took it.

Zairon's at w*r with pyr,

but in the bigger
corporate conflict,

they're officially neutral.

Allowing a ship like that

free passage through
contested areas.

No one will be looking
too closely at us

or anything we might
be transporting.

That could be useful,

if you're looking to move cargo

that requires a bit
of extra discretion.

Know anyone like that?

I'll be in touch.

All right.

We're in business.

Mm-hmm.

You know, we make
a pretty good team.

--Oh?
--Yeah.

Oh. I like this.

It's got kind of an "all
hail our glorious leader"

sort of vibe to it.

Android, any progress
establishing a neural link?

Not yet.

As I stated earlier,

connection is
theoretically possible,

but such a function was not part
of this ship's original design.

What's with the
no-can-do attitude?

That wasn't pessimism,
simply a statement of fact,

like, "we stole a ship,"

"we're flying through space,"

or, "i could detach your head
with minimal effort."

--Okay.
--Minimal...

--Yeah. Okay.
--...Effort.

I got it.

Testy robot.

So how'd it go
with truffault? She buy it?

Yeah, I think so.

Still can't
believe we're gonna work

with that bitch. She hates us.

Not in this
universe, she doesn't.

You shoulda seen them,
yakking on like old friends.

Yeah, old friends
until we double-cross her.

Incoming transmission.

--Get out.
--All right.

Two...

I should've known.

Hello, emperor.
What can I do for you?

I want my ship back,
for starters.

Oh, sorry, but we have plans
for this sweet, sweet ride.

You stole
the blink drive from me,

destroyed a research facility

that set my w*r
effort back years,

and now you take
one of my ships?

Too ambitious?

I know you still blame me
for what happened to nyx,

and even though she
didn't die by my own hand,

I still bear the guilt
of her death.

And I accept--

You know, I miss
that kid's moxie.

I caution restraint.

They want to provoke me?

I will bring the full force
of zairon down on them.

The full force of zairon

is presently engaged
in more pressing matters.

It is unwise to commit
valuable resources

to a personal vendetta.

They targeted me!

And I will respond with force!

They att*cked
the house of ishida.

They stole from us.

It is my duty as
the emperor to respond.

Forgive me, emperor.

I did not mean to offend.

You haven't.

Your counsel is
always welcome, teku.

No matter how idealized
and misdirected.

Move!

The mikkei shuttle has docked.

Good.

Seal off all doors between
the cargo hold and the air lock.

We wouldn't want
anyone wandering.

Yes, portia.

Whoa, hey.

Remember, we are supposed
to be friendly.

Put it away.

This way, grunts.

Truffault said you'd have
information about the drop.

Here you go.

This planet is
in traugott territory.

That a problem?

Not for us.

No information about the
cargo we're hauling for you?

The less you know, the better.

Careful, you clumsy idiots!

Do you want to
get us all k*lled?!

Please at least attempt
to follow the protocol.

All right.

Half now.
The other half on delivery.

Yeah, we are all good.

Who wants?

Mm!

We done?

Yes.

All right. Let's go.

Tash, see these men
safely back to their ship.

The hell you doing with that?

What, I can't be curious about
the planet we're not visiting?

Still no success
in reaching six?

It's been days
since we last talked.

I assume he must be busy.

Too busy to call just
to say he's too busy?

Too busy to even accept
my comm transmission?

He did make it clear

that his new duties
on the outer colonies

would command a great deal
of his attention

and that he wouldn't
be as available to you

as he was in the past.

Yeah. I know.

But that doesn't mean
he isn't missing you, too.

Maybe that's him now.

Commander truffault.

What the hell is
your crew playing at?

I'm telling you,
we haven't stolen

an ishida cruiser or taken
delivery of any missiles.

And I suppose you're gonna
deny contacting me as well?

--Yes.
--Oh, seriously,

that's the best
you can come up with?

Look, I don't know
what's going on,

but I assure you we had
nothing to do with it.

Pending the return of those
missiles and the cash,

consider our unlikely
alliance suspended.

Well... that was weird.

--Hey.
--Hey.

You figure out why truffault
thinks we double-crossed her?

Yeah. Because we did
double-cross her.

Damn. I must be getting old.

My memory is not
what it used to be.

I had the android
access the ga general database

and search for any
official sightings of us

over the last few months.

Check it out.

Month and a half ago, rigel-9.

Three weeks ago, kleeia-3.

Cool.

Except I've never been
to rigel-9 or kleeia-3.

Tash and wexler.

Hmm?

Well, guess we now know
who took that ride back

from the alternate
universe, huh?

Well, we can't just
let them fly around,

trashing your reputations.

To be fair, kid,

our reputations are
already pretty trashed.

No, she's right.

We can't let them
get away with this.

So what are we gonna do?

Well, first we're
gonna find them,

and then we're gonna
deal with them.

Hey.

What do you got there?

First present tabor
ever gave me.

It's an antique he won in
a poker game on Artemis-9.

Really makes you realize...

How much you miss him?

No, what a jerk he was.

He gave me this and called it
my end-of-year bonus.

Cost me more to get it
appraised than it was worth.

So why do you still have it?

I don't know.

What are we doing here?

Talking?

No, on this ship
with the crew of the raza.

They're the galaxy's
most wanted.

Legends.

And we're useless.

Speak for yourself.

Because of us,
they almost got k*lled

on that traugott colony,

got trapped in a time loop,

got sent off on
a wild-goose chase--

Uh, again, I need
to point out, that was all you.

My point is,
after really thinking about it,

it's become obvious:

We don't belong here.

I hate to say it, and I'm sure
they'll hate to hear it--

I'm sure they'll be
fine hearing it.

I'll let 'em know
tonight at dinner.

Hey, Adrian, we need
your help with something.

On the other hand...

Got it?

Yup.

Beauties.

Torrent downloaded from RARBG

What do you say
we find ourselves

a nice fat, juicy target and see
what these babies can do?

No. Priority number one
is finding a buyer.

We'll keep one crate
and sell the rest.

To who?

There's a w*r going on.

I'm sure there are plenty
of interested buyers.

Portia, we've received

a subspace transmission.

I told you to block
ishida and truffault.

It isn't ishida or truffault.

Finally!

Adrian. Where's tabor?

Oh, he's taken
a leave of absence.

Ah, hiding under
a rock until the w*r blows over?

Probably. But that's
not the point.

Just because he's disappeared
doesn't mean you guys

can go around violating
your contractual obligations.

Well, look who's stepping up.

I didn't think
you had it in you.

I'm impressed.

Wait, how did you get this
transmission channel?

Truffault called me.

Of course.

Stealing an ishida cruiser?

Heisting a shipment of
cutting-edge missiles?

Ah, we saw an opportunity,
so we took it.

And it never occurred
to you to give

your representation
a heads-up?

Not really, no.

Not to mention the fact
that you just screwed over

the only corporate
friend you have.

Oh, we'll make new friends.

And besides, mikkei is
not going to do anything.

They move against us,

and they run the risk of
ferrous corp. Finding out

they've been smuggling
missiles to traugott.

Oh, well, okay. But you
shoulda dialed me in.

You mean tabor, don't you?

Sure. Tabor and me.

I mean, that's how
this works, right?

You steal stuff. We sell it.

And take your cut.

It's the price
of doing business.

Mm.

So you think you
can find a buyer

for these missiles
without tabor?

--I already have one.
--Who?

All you need to know is that
I'm getting you top price.

--I don't like it.
--What's not to like?

They get the missiles.
We get the money.

--You vouch for this buyer?
--Oh, completely.

Then I want you
there for the exchange.

Well, that's... unusual.

Either you show up,
or the deal is off.

Fine. I'll be there. Happy?

--Ambivalent.
--Great.

I'll send the coordinates
once I've made the arrangements.

Ooh, well, that went
better than expected.

Yeah, congratulations.
You're a terrific liar.

Hey, I was taking a
chance they would even know me.

I already told you,
in the alternate universe,

the crew of the raza
never lost their memories.

I know, but I was kinda thinking

the alternate me might
be something different.

--Like what?
--Oh, I don't know.

Concert pianist?

My mom said I had a gift.

Come on. We should get ready.

I can do this, right?

But what if they
suspect a setup?

What if they make
an example of me?

Listen, you getting
dead under my watch,

that'll make me look really bad.
I'm not gonna let that happen.

Okay, that's... reassuring.

Don't worry.
All you gotta do is talk,

and we'll do the rest.

Can I have the g*n
i was promised?

Know how to use this thing?

Pfft. Point and sh**t?

Lesson complete.

Oh, uh, hi.

Where's the buyer?

Uh, g-guess he's running late.

Uh, where's, uh, portia?

She's back on the ship
with the missiles.

When the buyer shows up,
I'll radio to her,

and she'll come down to meet us.

Ah, we-well,
that doesn't strike me

as a particularly efficient
use of our time.

What, we wait for the buyer,
then we wait for portia...

See what I'm saying?

Ha-have you been
on the raza long?

'Cause i-i don't really
recognize your face.

I-it's just--

don't! Don't.

Don't what?

You were going for your g*n!

No. I was adjusting my pants.

No. You were
definitely going for your g*n.

No. This is me going for my g*n.

Stop! Don't! Don't
move another muscle!

I'm warning you!

Drop it.

The other portia.

I was hoping I'd get
the chance to see you again.

You should be careful
what you wish for.

Now drop the w*apon.

Actually, I think you
should drop yours.

Oh? Why's that?

Because if you don't,

my team in the trees
will take you all out.

You think I came down here
without backup?

There's no one out there.

Oh, why don't you
test me and see what happens?

Ah!

God! In the-- you know what?!

You are gonna regret that...

...right now!

Right now!

Guys, whenever you're ready!

Aw, sh*t.

Yeah, not so tough now, are you?

Put that thing down
before you hurt someone.

Oh, it's fine.
Three took the b*ll*ts out.

Oh...

What the hell?

I secured the marauder.

Moving on to phase two.

Oh, it's hard
to describe exactly

the feeling of having
a g*n pointed at you.

What a rush.

It really puts life
into perspective.

I mean, just look at this sky.

I... I've never seen it
so blue and vibrant.

Okay, can someone just
knock me unconscious

and drag me the rest of the way?

I cannot listen
to any more of this.

I've already k*lled you once.

Please don't ask me
to do it again.

Wait, is that what happened
to the me in this reality?

'Cause I looked him up.
He went missing a month ago.

I figured he was just
keeping a low profile.

Yeah, you think
you're capable of that?

Hell no.

I mean, you k*lling me
makes a lot more sense.

How'd you do me?

How did I do you?

I spaced you.

Damn. That's cold.

Yeah, well,
you double-crossed us,

took my ship.

I figured it was
an appropriate response.

Plus, you spaced me first.

You know, I can't help but, uh,
see this as an opportunity

for a fresh start
for both of us.

--Oh, yeah?
--Yeah, I mean,

I'm a free agent, you know,
with a lot to offer

both professionally
and personally.

You, um, looking
for any new talent?

No.

Wait.

This is where we
parked the marauder.

Where's our shuttle?

I got no idea. Taking
it wasn't part of the plan.

No? What was the plan?

Meet the buyer, steal the
payments, keep the missiles.

--Is that it?
--I dunno!

Maybe k*ll Adrian and the buyer?

There's always room
for improvisation,

but nobody said Jack squat about
heisting your ride, though.

Phew!

You think if I had known
that getting captured

was part of the plan,
i woulda gone along with it?

Move.

You changed your clothes.



Authentication sequence:

Three-tango-five-Gulf-
Sierra-six.

Shutdown command.

I'm sorry, portia.

That code is no longer valid.

Aah! Ah.

It's the other portia.

I know. She tried
to deactivate me.

--Where is she?
--Locked up.

Good. Okay, I'm going
back down for the others.

First, I need to arm up.

Under the circumstances,

that's an excellent idea.

There's a
settlement west of here.

They'll have surface-to-orbit
communication.

We should contact the raza.

That's four hours
over rough terrain.

Well, I can do it in two.

Yes, I bet you could.

But we're gonna stick together.
Look, we knew there was a chance

that this could happen,
but the android is prepared.

Our best bet
is just to sit tight

and let this play out.

Wow, you are different.

My portia would be
b*ating the crap out of me

right now for information.

We-- that was more of an
observation than a suggestion.

Who else came over
with you on the marauder?

Do I need to remind you that
they used you and abandoned you?

Okay. They used you
and abandoned you.

You're alone.

--Everyone.
--What's that?

We all hitched a ride
when your raza

made the jump back
to this reality:

Me, portia, Boone,
Tash, the android.

What about corso?

Not so much. He's not
really a team player.

Right. Well, what have
you and your team

been up to since you came here?

Taking it easy,
seeing some sights.

There's a lovely adults-only
botanical garden on rigel-9.

Also setting up this score.

Right. Well, I'm sorry it
didn't work out for you.

Oh, don't apologize.

This is far from over.

The hell
is going on up there?

Any word from portia?

Not yet. Don't worry.

It's all going
according to plan.

Is it?

Shouldn't we have
heard back by now?

Relax. We're prepared
for any complications.

Besides, even if
worse comes to worst,

we still got one
last card to play.

Right now, aboard that ship,

your little friends, they're
in a whole world of trouble.

Oh, yeah?

Ah!

You really think your Boone's
gonna convince anyone he's me?

Fat chance.

Little while back, you had me
convinced you were him.

Yeah, but that's
'cause I'm a better actor.

I do recall some
performance issues.

I bailed on you.
There was no performance.

Oh, I recall
that opening overture.

You never had a chance to
experience the crescendo, baby.

That's because I was
disappointed in your pianissimo.

Okay, I think we've exhausted

the musical euphemisms.

Can we go back to
threatening each other's lives?

--Gladly.
--Huh?

It would appear she's
waiting for something.

Yeah?

This.

Bet you didn't see that coming.

Hmm.

Boone?

I'd say "the one
and only," but lately,

that doesn't seem
to be the case.

What is going on?

Seem to be locked out
of all the systems.

Their android must've installed
some kind of fail-safe.

I should be able to override it,

but I'll need to
do it on the bridge.

Come down here and
open the door manually.

On my way.

What the hell?

Aah!

----Okay. Slight problem.

Ship seems to have
a mind of its own.

What is that supposed to mean?

----Well, just...

Just means it's gonna take me

a little longer to
get there, that's all.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Aah! Ah.

Whew. Getting a
little dizzy here.

Air seems to be
a little bit light.

Activate the emergency
life-support systems right now.

Actually, we did see it coming.

A ship just dropped out of ftl.

It's the other raza.

What took you so long?

You were supposed to check in.

Sorry. I didn't realize you
were on a tight schedule.

--Who the hell are you?
--I'm the one holding

two of your crew members--
portia and Boone.

You can call me five.

Hey, kiddo!

Three, is that you?
Are you okay?

Shut up.

He's fine.
But that could change.

Then let's talk deal.

I have two of yours,
and you have one of ours.

I also have a
stockpile of missiles

waiting to go on
a little test flight.

You wouldn't dare
open fire on us

with your friends on board.

Oh, "friends" is
a pretty generous way

of describing our relationship.

Destroy this ship,
and you lose any hope

of ever recovering
the blink drive.

That's a good point.

Guess I'll get over it.

I believe we can arrive at a
mutually acceptable agreement.

Great!

The missiles, the payment,
and your crew member

have been deposited
in a clearing

1.42 kilometers northeast
of this location...

...as agreed upon.

And your crew members have
been deposited in a clearing

1.63 kilometers
southwest of here...

...as agreed upon.

I'm afraid I had
to restrain them.

Oh, I restrained your
crew member as well.

I also found it
necessary to gag him.

Understandable.

By the way, it's pointless

for your crew to
come after the blink drive.

It's been damaged beyond repair.

Are you being deceptive?

No.

In that case, I will advise
my crew of the fact

and recommend we not
pursue your ship.

Are you being deceptive now?

No.

Commander, the all missiles and
most of the cash accounted for.

"Most"?

Minus a modest service charge.
We don't work for free.

Thank you, sergeant.
That'll be all.

It would have been nice
if you'd actually

captured your impersonators.

They could cause further
problems moving forward.

Yes, I'm well aware of that.

Tracking them down
will be our next priority.

In the meantime,
I'll have my office

work up a new
authentication protocol,

--just for you.
--Thanks.

Wait! Commander, don't leave.

Is there something i
can do for you, Mr. maro?

I just need one little favor.

You're gonna wanna be careful
how you answer that.

So should I start packing?

--You told them?
--No.

I didn't think it was right
to get their hopes up.

Too late for that.

You guys taking a little trip?

Yeah, we're off to rasnov-4,
courtesy of commander truffault.

What's on rasnov-4?

My cousin.

Plus, it's in mikkei territory,

so should be relatively
safe for a while.

You guys have to understand,

I do have other
clients out there.

As much as I'd love to,
i can't just be

working with you exclusively.

We'll try to hide
our disappointment.

Well, anyway,
keep up the good work.

Thank you.

Try not to die?

I guess I'll get my stuff.

Just because he's leaving

doesn't mean that
you have to leave as well.

You could be a valuable
member of this crew.

Three?

Well, if she's gotta go,
she's gotta go.

He's right.

Adrian paid me
three months in advance.

And, let's face it: He wouldn't

survive ten minutes
without me, so...

Take care of yourself.

Hey.

Hey. Uh, I was just
about to come look for you

to say goodbye.

You sure about this?

[Adrian
yeah.

Uh, as much as I admire
what you guys do,

this isn't the life for me.

Being down on that planet
pretty much confirmed that.

We're all afraid.

We just... do a better job
of hiding it.

You're also pretty good at this
whole action-adventure thing.

I'm more of a
behind-the-scenes guy--

you know, working the angles,
closing the deals.

That's not you.

Not the real you, anyway.

Oh, yeah? What is the real me?

Someone with a good heart
who tries way too hard.

Someone I was just getting
used to having around.

You know, you can
come with us if you want.

Plenty of room
at my cousin's place.

Ride out the w*r
in relative safety?

No, thanks.

My place is here on this ship.

Yeah... figured you'd say that.

See you around, Adrian.

Guards to my location
immediately.

Signal's blocked.

There's no need to turn
this into a bloodbath.

Right.

Because we're...
Such good friends,

you decided to...
Pop by for a casual visit.

You are not that
far from the truth.

You betrayed me.

I can see why
you would think that,

but you're wrong,

because I'm not
who you think I am.

Oh, so you're not portia lin?

Mm, yes...And no.

See, I'm here
to tell you a story.

And when I'm done,

I'm confident you'll believe

that we very much
can be friends.

It's high time we came
together to go after a...

...common enemy.

Well, you, uh...

...have my attention.

Sarah?

Sarah?

I'm here.

Hi.

Hi.

This is beautiful.

I created it.

How?

Well, when this all started,

everything around me was
like a... blank canvas.

Hmm.

But five uploaded
a program that...

...allows me to manipulate
my environment...

...build things.

She wanted me
to make this my home.

That kid, huh?

First an empty room,

and... now this.

How long did all this take?

I have no idea.

I mean, I could stare
at this flower,

and maybe a few seconds pass,
maybe a few hours.

I... I can't tell
the difference.

Well, it's beautiful.

Hmm.

Did you make this, too?

--I've moved on to birds.
--Ah.

But they're proving to be
a bit of a challenge.

You're building yourself
a whole world here, aren't you?

It's not just for me.

I want you to be happy
when you're here.

I am.

I want this to feel
like it's your home, too.

Where are we?

I thought we were going to
a space station to resupply.

Well, the android told me

that you haven't heard
from six in a while.

So we decided to resupply

and check in on him
at the same time.

Really?

--Thanks.
--You're welcome.

However, I haven't been able

to establish communication
with the ground.

Can you get a signal?

No. There are no
communication signals

coming from the planet.

Well, pull up a visual.

Maybe their tower's
been damaged.

It--it looks fine to me.

Wait a minute. Magnify.

Those are bodies.

Oh, my god...

Six!
