00:30Construction and repair
01:00Hydroponics reports oxygen production is...
01:07Residents are still mourning the loss of Gene Garson.
01:10The initiative founder was killed when the Nexus hit the scourge.
01:13An official tribute is planned, though director Jaren Tan has provided few details so far.
01:19Without Gene, we wouldn't be here.
01:21But now that we are here, we need to focus on surviving before we can celebrate.
01:26This is HNS.
01:30Oh, I can't wait to go to Aya.
01:48Pathfinder, I hear the Angaran planet Aya is a paradise.
01:53We finally found a lush world. When do we start moving in?
01:58In good time. As we become better friends, hopefully we'll all share more and more.
02:03But we need to find lush planets of our own. For all of us.
02:07True. But hey, at least now we know one exists, right?
02:12I know you'll do it.
02:14Keep up the good work, Pathfinder.
02:19I'm sorry to call you in, but this is best handled discreetly.
02:33Talk to me.
02:35Short version. One of Harry's med techs snuck a relative on board. Woke them up, cut them loose.
02:40Turns out this relative has a rare illness. Not contagious yet, but in the later stages.
02:48Does Tan know about this?
02:50What? No, absolutely not. Tan's office is an informational sieve.
02:56This gets out, we'll have a station-wide panic.
02:59Besides, this is a Hyperion matter. My responsibility.
03:05That makes it mine too, doesn't it, Captain?
03:08Thank you, Ryder. Please keep this to yourself for now.
03:11The only way this ends without major losses is if we handle things before the rumors get out.
03:17Right. I'll look into it.
03:19Good.
03:20Talk to Harry. He can brief you on the details.
03:23Let's bring this under control before it's too late.
03:47Your father's personal locks.
04:17Ryder, one of your father's memories is available.
04:24Let's see it.
04:26This memory is from your mother's final day.
04:40It was a good fight, soldier.
04:44It's not over yet.
04:47Alec.
04:49No.
04:51Alec, we have a few hours. Let's enjoy them.
04:55And after that?
04:57We'll still have each other, but we want you.
05:02I love you, Mom.
05:07I love you.
05:09Both of you.
05:11Live your lives.
05:14Do great things.
05:15Do great things.
05:16I see so much potential in you.
05:25And remember...
05:29Fall in love.
05:31At least once.
05:33We'll let you guys talk.
05:36We'll let you guys talk.
05:40Say it, Alec.
05:43Say it.
05:46Then I will.
05:49Goodbye.
05:52Watch out for the kids.
05:55Be there for them.
05:56I will.
05:57I will.
05:59Mourn me, Alec.
06:00But don't let this destroy you.
06:03What did you used to say when you were in N7?
06:06When your back's against the wall.
06:09If you can't run from it.
06:12Use it.
06:14Remember that.
06:16Be strong.
06:18Never as strong as you.
06:21I love you, Ellen.
06:27I...
06:29I didn't expect that.
06:30Death remains an elusive concept for me.
06:32A finite end in a cosmos, otherwise filled with infinite possibilities.
06:37I don't think it's the end.
06:41Mom didn't just disappear forever.
06:43Where did she go?
06:45I don't know.
06:47I like to think existence somehow continues.
06:49In which case, my failure to save her may not be total.
06:52Your father hoped I would cure her.
06:57I never understood.
06:59With all your capabilities, Sam, why did she die?
07:02My ability to enhance organic physiology has limitations.
07:04Your mother's disease was systemic.
07:08It also seems that life is more than just biology.
07:11It is the will to continue living.
07:13I believe your mother accepted her fate.
07:16And likewise, her body surrendered.
07:18I detect additional memories, but they are currently locked.
07:22They may yet hold answers.
07:24Okay. I'll keep working on it.
07:30That's all for now.
07:31Of course.
07:35Welcome back, Sarah.
07:39That's all for now.
07:40Of course.
08:04I think that's his physical battle and that's a good thing.
08:10Let's have a point.
08:12How can we get to the point?
08:14It sucks.
08:16I know.
08:18You're going to be able to get up some of the things.
08:20And you're going to be able to get the stage.
08:22I know you're going to get to the point.
08:24Let's go again.
08:26I know you're going to get to the point.
08:28I don't want to get up.
08:29I'm going to get to the point.
08:30I'm probably going to go again.
10:00High level only. Said to speak with you for the full brief.
10:06Great. Well then, here we go. Before we left, my medtech Charlie helped his aunt sign on to the initiative program.
10:14He cheated the screening process.
10:16Yeah. She has TH314. Deadly. Highly contagious in the latter stages and jumps across species.
10:24It was dormant, but flared up when Charlie woke her. He just assumed it was stasis sickness.
10:32There's no cure. No vaccine. It's deadly in its final stage, and she's off-grid. She's a problem.
10:39What should I know about this TH314?
10:44Stage 1 symptoms are similar to stasis sickness, which is what fooled Charlie. Stage 2 is marked by extreme bouts of paranoia. It becomes virulently contagious at stage 3. Airborne, but works.
10:55Is anyone else infected?
10:57No one so far. According to the test results I received after Charlie left, she's still in stage 1. If she progresses to stage 3, Ryder, it'll be bad. It's a rare disease, but the kind that starts pandemics.
11:12Any idea where he's gone?
11:16Not long ago, he was assigned to an Apex unit for a mission. Incommunicado at the moment. Charlie had no idea the virus would flare up after stasis. Virology isn't his specialty. She's his only relative. Even so, he should have known better.
11:31We need to make sure she's brought in and no one else is infected.
11:38I want to put her well-being above all else, but we have to consider the implications. Making sure TH314 doesn't spread is the top priority, no matter what. This one isn't going to be easy.
11:50Anything else I need to know?
11:52Be quick but discreet. We can't panic the entire station over this.
11:56I only have a whole space station to search. Discreetly. Check.
12:01Could be worse. She could be off station and potentially infecting the Angara. Try customs first. Even with fake medical clearance, she had to go through there like anyone else.
12:13Dr. Carlisle has granted me access to Ruth Becker's profile. The file includes her physical description.
12:19That'll be useful. Thanks, Sam.
12:21Species are at odds as talks break down over a unified curriculum for Initiative kids. The Asari say they'll wait it out until demand.
12:31Species are at odds as talks break down over a unified curriculum for initiative kids.
12:48The Asari say they'll wait it out until demands are met.
12:52This is H&S.
13:01A worker was lost in space.
13:22This is amazing. I can't believe it.
13:25I'm glad we did.
13:27Sometimes I wonder what I was thinking.
13:31Maybe I should stay home.
13:35We invite you to visit our merchants in the Nexus Commons area.
13:40Hi, I'm Jan Garthman, founder of the Initiative.
13:44Name?
13:45Sarah Ryder.
13:47Hi, welcome to the Nexus.
13:49Let me check the database and...
13:51Wait, you're already approved.
13:53And you're a Pathfinder.
13:55Uh, hi?
13:58Maybe you can help me. I'm looking for someone.
14:01Have you seen Ruth Becker?
14:02Yes, I have.
14:04Why are you asking?
14:08Harry just needs me to verify something with her. Nothing major.
14:11Oh, well, if Harry sent you, I guess that's okay.
14:14Now let me see.
14:15Yes, Ruth Becker.
14:17Tried to set me up with her nephew.
14:19It was cute.
14:20Anything else that you can remember?
14:22I restricted her access to the common area because there were problems with her file.
14:26I sorted things out, then messaged her to let her know she was clear.
14:32Restricted access, huh?
14:34Sam, can you do anything with that?
14:36Yes.
14:37I believe I can help you retrace her steps.
14:39At least during that time.
14:41Pathfinder.
14:42I've integrated Ruth Becker's biological signature with the look.
14:45Ruth Becker was here, Pathfinder.
14:47You can trace her with your scanner.
14:49You can tell me.
14:50The next one.
14:51In order to expedite your entry, you must already have obtained medical clearance.
14:57Yeah.
14:58I said that.
14:59What?
15:00I was just being honest.
15:01A worker was lost in space.
15:02There's a difference between being honest...
15:03and being an ass.
15:04...and being an ass.
15:05The complaint has been withheld.
15:07So next to Chan in the Mokiway is notified.
15:10This is Agent S.
15:12Hi.
15:13I'm Chan Garson, founder of the initiative.
15:16Welcome to the Nexus.
15:18We ask that you spend a few short minutes going through immigration processing.
15:31Then we'll have you on your way.
15:42They were really clear about it.
15:44All the prep sessions?
15:45Everything.
15:48Your scanner can pick up Ruth Becker's movements again.
16:02The Vortex.
16:04Let mine take you for experience.
16:06Your scanner can pick up Ruth Becker's movements again.
16:31Here we go.
17:01A worker was lost to space during work years in the next fall.
17:05The victim's name has been withheld until next weekend in the middle of the way.
17:23Sure glad I went to school for this.
17:25Thanks for nothing. Education.
17:31Authorities continue work to establish contact with our Milky Way descendant.
17:37To the Mel, he is performing a crime that Helios will remain available.
17:41Dependent of its existence.
18:01This is where Jean Garson's body was discovered.
18:09What are we looking for?
18:11If you scan the room, environmental data may allow for scene recreation.
18:23There. This was no accident. She was murdered.
18:29As this incident occurred over a year ago, her killer is likely far away by now.
18:33Yeah. But... wait. This whole area was shuttered back then.
18:39Didn't open till the Hyperion arrived.
18:41So what was Garson even doing here?
18:43Perhaps a further scan of the room is in order.
18:45A hidden door.
18:55What do we have here?
19:01What do we have here?
19:31This is Jean Garson. I don't have much time.
19:39I've been hiding in the sealed off sections of the Nexus since we got here.
19:43Someone's trying to kill me.
19:45And now I can hear them down in the hydroponics area.
19:47They're coming.
19:48I've embedded what I know in my VI in the cultural center.
19:52This log has the code.
19:54And whatever happens...
19:55Oh god. They're outside the door.
19:59Wow. This is some serious shit.
20:01Yes. Deeply troubling.
20:03I have the code she mentioned for the VI kiosk.
20:18Okay.
20:36These power outs, just make no sense.
20:48Hello there, neighbor. I'm Gian Garson, the founder of the Andromeda Initiative. I thought you might like to hear more about our plans.
21:05Sam, can we hear that message Garson talked about?
21:08Unlocking it now. Rerouting to our private channel.
21:12For years, there was a silent partner involved with the Initiative. The truth is, I was running out of money.
21:17Then a benefactor stepped in. I didn't ask questions. I never met them face to face. That was a mistake. I lied to everyone.
21:26Something big spooked them in the Milky Way, and now they're moving a hundred thousand of us to Andromeda.
21:31I hope it's all for the good, but I have my doubts. And now I think they're going to remove me.
21:38Alec Ryder and I had a code word for this. Vulcrum. He may have learned more.
21:44What's that mean, something big in the Milky Way?
21:47Perhaps your father's locked memories hold the answer. He might have known more.
21:52Yeah, because I'll have to keep unlocking them to find out for sure.
