00:01This is the inner sphere. Thousands of planets colonized by humankind.
00:06Once it was united under the Star Moon.
00:08But for the last 300 years it has been consumed by savage wars.
00:13Until a new enemy appeared.
00:15Mysterious invaders known as...
00:18The Clans.
00:20Powerful and rudeless, they struck like lightning attacking every sector at once.
00:24But they made one big mistake.
00:26They attacked my home planet!
00:29Now in the spirit of the Star League, ancient enemies have reunited.
00:33And we're gonna take back our galaxy.
00:59Greetings, cousin Adam. I am pleased to hear of your recent success in appropriating clan weaponry.
01:09My engineers are already incorporating the technology gleaned from your reports on their elemental armor suits.
01:15But sadly, I must turn down your request to replace your inoperative battle mechs.
01:19As you know, your official mission is intelligence gathering, not combat.
01:25We're practically on Somerset's doorsteps and Archon cuts us off at the knees.
01:31I know, Adam. Somerset's my home too.
01:33But by acquiring clan tech, we've done more for the inner sphere than anything we could have accomplished on Somerset.
01:39That doesn't help our families.
01:41Major, I just got a message from the jump ship Strongbow.
01:45One of their drop ships went AWOL.
01:47They think it might be headed our way.
01:49Have Franklin report to flight deck B.
01:51Whoa! You're trusting that guy with a banshee?
01:54I need a pilot out there, and unless you can earn your wings in the next five minutes, he's my only option.
02:02So, tell me something, Franklin.
02:04Where did a shipping merchant like you learn to fly an aero fighter?
02:07Did you imagine that you were the only believer in cross training?
02:11Not any more than I believe I'll ever get a straight answer out of you.
02:16Drop ship in sight, Major.
02:19This is Major Adam Steiner of the AFFC, hailing drop ship Head Jira. Do you copy?
02:24Repeat, this is Major Adam Steiner, hailing drop ship Head Jira.
02:29Major, look out!
02:31Franklin, what in blazes are you doing?
02:37Hold your fire!
02:38Whoa, guys, settle down. We're on your side.
02:41Identify yourselves immediately.
02:43This is Major Victor Steiner Davian of the 12th Donegal Guard.
02:47Victor Steiner Davian? As in...
02:50That's right, Mr. Sakamoto.
02:52You just fired on the Prince of the Federated Commonwealth.
02:58I know what I saw, Major. They were training their lasers on you.
03:03I'd like to avoid an international incident, Franklin, so I suggest you do what you do best.
03:09Keep your mouth shut.
03:12Major Steiner, I want this man taken into custody immediately.
03:16I'm taking full responsibility for the incident, Galen. It's my fault for ordering radio silence.
03:22I... I would have done the same thing in your position, Major.
03:25Yeah, but would you send a drak to do the shooting?
03:28That's enough, Galen. Let's not forget the Draconis Combine are allies now.
03:32Your Highness Sweet better have that shoulder looked at.
03:38You letting a drak doctor treat the Prince?
03:41For your information, Captain Cox, this dropship and jumpship are staffed entirely by Combine personnel.
03:47Victor, I suggest you return to the Hegira immediately, for your own safety.
03:52That's ridiculous. My Somerset cousin leads a fine example of cooperation with our Draconis allies.
03:59I'm pleased you admire my work, but with all due respect, you didn't go AWOL from your jumpship just to evaluate my unit.
04:05Okay, that's correct, Major. I'm here for something far more important.
04:10As you may know, Captain Galen Cox and I were stationed with the 12th Donegal Guard on Trail 1.
04:15Victor, we can't hold him here much longer!
04:23Hang in there, Galen!
04:26The clan soon hit us pretty hard.
04:29Galen was doing his best to hold the Pirate Canyon Bridge.
04:45Galen, we're almost finished here!
04:58Galen, we're almost finished here!
05:15No!
05:31Everything's in place!
05:34Galen!
05:38Pull back! Now!
05:45One planned mech made her to cross and chase us into the caverns.
06:15Nice shooting, Galen. Badger One to Denmother, come in. I need a new vector to the front.
06:29Negative vector. You and Galen are to return to the base immediately.
06:33But, Colonel, they need us at the front.
06:36That's an order, Major.
06:39You see that dropship? Get in it. Both of you.
06:47I will not abandon my people. They're getting cut to ribbons out there.
06:54Do you want to go down in history as the man who lost Trail One?
06:58There's nothing I can do about that now.
07:00But I refuse to be known as the man who lost the Prince of the Federated Commonwealth.
07:04Get him out of here.
07:07Colonel, I'm not!
07:08I'm really sorry about this, Victor. Don't!
07:11That was the last I ever saw of Trail One.
07:16Before long, I found myself stranded here in the Butler system on an inoperable jump ship.
07:21You see, Major, I need your jump ship to return us to the Trail One system so we can rejoin our battalion.
07:30I want to state for the record that I've been against this plan from the start.
07:34Don't mind Galen. His flax suit's wrapped a little too tight.
07:40My orders are to see the Prince safely back to the Fedcom outpost on Sudaten.
07:46You know, I will not abandon my men simply because I happen to be the Archon's son.
07:51Our jump drive needs a week to recharge before we can go anywhere.
07:55So in the meantime, why don't you work on your travel plans aboard the Katana?
08:00I think you'll find the accommodations there a little more comfortable.
08:05Adam, I radioed the Strongbow and told them that the Prince is safe and sound.
08:09Unfortunately, their jump drive will require three weeks worth of repairs.
08:15So we've been ordered to escort Victor back to the Fedcom base on Sudaten.
08:19We're two jumps away from home and they're making us turn around?
08:23Adam, if you don't mind my asking, what can we possibly do for Somerset with only one working mech?
08:29I don't know, Mick.
08:45Gentlemen, allow me to show you to your quarters.
08:48Victor, get down!
08:50We are merely taking them into storage, Steiner, Devi and Sama.
08:57Nice souvenirs, Major. Where'd you get them?
09:00More importantly, why did Drax have free access to such highly sensitive material?
09:05Mr. Sakamoto played a pivotal role in helping us seize those suits.
09:09Captain.
09:12I don't know what kind of operation you think you're running here, Major,
09:15but you have the heir to the throne on your ship.
09:17I suggest you start taking his safety a little more seriously.
09:22These suits are fantastic.
09:25We could use them to infiltrate the clans on Trelwan.
09:29And Somerset.
09:30You make a very tempting offer, cousin.
09:33All hands, this is Lieutenant Rachel Spector.
09:38All off-duty personnel will immediately report to dropship Quaidan.
09:47Galen, what are you doing?
09:48Just keeping watch.
09:49You can never be too sure.
09:54Get some rest, Captain. That's an order.
09:56Listen, I didn't need babysitting on Trelwan, and I certainly don't need it now.
10:02Gah!
10:05Gah!
10:06Gah!
10:07Gah!
10:08Gah!
10:09Gah!
10:10Get some rest, Captain. That's an order.
10:11Listen, I didn't need babysitting on Trelwan and I certainly don't need it now.
10:41No!
11:11Major, we've got trouble in the Prince's quarters.
11:18I'm investigating now.
11:21Hawks Engineering, shut down power on Turbolift One.
11:42You all right, Your Highness?
11:44Forget me. I want that intruder.
11:51Major, there's been an attempt on the Prince. I'm pursuing the intruder through Turbolift One.
12:04Docking Collar A. Our buddy was heading for the Kwai Don.
12:11Search the jump ship. Lieutenant Inspector, seal off the Kwai Don and conduct an immediate head count.
12:18I want every single crew member accounted for.
12:21If anything's happened to the Prince, I'm holding you personally responsible.
12:25Oh, Kalen, give it a rest. I'm fine.
12:27All personnel are accounted for, Adam, with the exception of Franklin Sakamoto.
12:32No one has seen him on the Kwai Don or the Katana.
12:35What about the head here?
12:45Put your hands right, seal.
12:51No! We want him alive!
12:53Care to explain just what you were up to?
12:56I cannot say.
12:58Maybe you ought to try.
13:00That's enough, Captain!
13:02Now, Franklin, you better say something in your defense, because it looks like you're either the assassin, or you're protecting him.
13:10Either way, he's guilty.
13:12He's guilty.
13:13Major, I want him remanded to my custody so he can face the proper authorities.
13:18We have no hard evidence of his guilt.
13:20We don't.
13:21I found these in a ventilation shaft aboard the Hajira.
13:31Yours, I believe.
13:36I simply can't accept that Franklin would be an assassin.
13:39What are you hoping to find in his quarters?
13:44Looks like someone left his locker open.
13:48Uh-uh. It's been forced.
13:50I want the prince put on a 24-hour guard.
13:52I still say you'd be safer on our ship.
13:55I will not be carried away from another crisis like some helpless royal fop.
14:00I will always have enemies, Galen.
14:02Whether an outside invader or a traitor from my own family.
14:06It comes with the title.
14:08What? Do you plan to keep me under guard when we counterattack the clans on Trel'wan?
14:12You still haven't told him about our orders?
14:14This whole thing may have an upside.
14:16Now if the Fedcon brass think Victor's in danger, then someone else is gonna have to escort him back to Sudeten.
14:26Leaving us free to move on to Somerset.
14:28Careful, Adam. You just made yourself a suspect.
14:32Franklin, why will you not confess? Your actions bring disgrace to the crew and the entire Draconis Combine.
14:42Hey, I got orders, Doc. All non-essential personnel are confined to quarters.
14:43I failed to see why all Kuritas should be punished for the actions of one individual.
14:52Figure it out on your own time.
14:53Figure it out on your own time.
14:54All right. Which one of your buddies swiped the elemental suit?
14:55Why? Is one missing?
14:56Who you're working with now?
14:57Hurrah!
14:58Agh!
14:59Ugh!
15:00Ugh!
15:01Ugh!
15:02Ah!
15:03Ah!
15:04Ah!
15:05Ah!
15:06Ah!
15:07Ah!
15:08Ah!
15:09Ah!
15:10Ah!
15:11Ah!
15:12Ah!
15:13Ahh!
15:14Ah!
15:15Ah!
15:17Ah!
15:18Ah!
15:19Ah!
15:20Galen?
15:41Galen? What's going on out there?
15:43Galen?
15:50Galen? Galen is indisposed right now.
15:56Is he...?
15:58I'm just unconscious.
16:00But I've got other plans for you, Victor.
16:02Stevens? But why?
16:06Let's just say there are factions within the Federated Commonwealth who favor a more worthy successor to the throne.
16:13Hold her right there, pal!
16:21Anybody know some Prince's history?
16:28Stand aside, Major.
16:30I am now the Prince's only home.
16:50Franklin, try to get him to one of the outer decks. Do you copy, Franklin?
17:03Do you copy?
17:05Yes, Major. I believe I do.
17:35You must surrender, Stevens. Your weapons are depleted.
17:54Not quite.
17:56Moose!
17:57The Prince's only home.
17:58The Prince's only home.
17:59No!
18:00No!
18:02No!
18:03No!
18:04No!
18:06No!
18:07No!
18:10No!
18:15No!
18:16No!
18:17No!
18:18No!
18:23so how did you know the assassin was stevens when you found me aboard the hegeeta i was
18:36examining their computer log searching for proof that they were targeting you before i fired upon
18:42them i found an entry that a self-destruct program had been implemented in the prince's mech
18:48clearly someone aboard the prince's ship was the assassin since i could not determine which was
18:53the culprit i had to wait for him to make another move when i learned of the missing elemental suit
18:59i knew the assassin would strike again why didn't you tell me any of this would you have believed me
19:05mr sakamoto i am forever indebted to you for saving my life it was a matter of giddy of honor even if
19:13you are the son of my enemy when you attain the throne i hope you will not make me regret my actions
19:20you've got a brave crew major we'll need their brand of valor on trail one and somerset
19:29i'm afraid that's not going to happen but what about our plans
19:43victor steiner davion's courage in battle narrow escape from the clan forces has spurred the men
19:56and women of the battalion to incredible acts of heroism morale remains high among the underground
20:01resistance on trail one thanks in no small part to the continued survival of our prince
20:08i'd hate to think where we'd be if you hadn't made it victory this clan invasion is bigger than
20:24either of us cousin and like it or not we each have a greater responsibility to the entire commonwealth
20:30and to any one planet or unit you know you've gathered a great deal of intelligence on these
20:34clans cousin i suggest we put it to good use and bought a strategy for the clan's defeat
21:04you
