00:02:16You know, it's morning back home right now.
00:02:19Homesick?
00:02:20Of course not.
00:02:22I do love the children.
00:02:24That bad?
00:02:25He needs a discipline kicked into him.
00:02:27But I'll admit, it'll be nice to have a dedicated electronic warfare specialist with us this time.
00:02:32Con, set mop.
00:02:34Con, aye.
00:02:36Strobing contact bearing 040 by 022, distance approximately 2.5 million armands.
00:02:43ID?
00:02:44It looked clean until about 15 seconds ago.
00:02:47Now I'm getting flashes of a scrambled signal.
00:02:49She looks to pass close.
00:02:51At present course of speed, about 1,100 armands off our starboard side, high to low.
00:02:55Mr. Barrows?
00:02:57Mr. Masterson?
00:02:59Shall we go to quarters?
00:03:01Well, that's the kind of decision you were hired to make.
00:03:04Sir?
00:03:05The choice is yours.
00:03:06Have it sounded, or call the captain and ask him.
00:03:08Abner, I'm the XO, I should really...
00:03:10No, you really shouldn't.
00:03:11Give him a chance to earn his pay.
00:03:13Con, set mod.
00:03:14Contact confirmed as blacklisted ship.
00:03:16We have full legal authority to destroy or seize.
00:03:19Designating contact as target 1.
00:03:24Time's wasting, mister.
00:03:26Sound journal, quarters.
00:03:28All hands to battle stations.
00:03:30Abner, he really should have deferred to me after I'd be executive officer of this ship.
00:03:45Of course.
00:03:46You're absolutely right.
00:03:47Magazine is manned and ready.
00:03:48Head to one mount reports manned and ready.
00:03:49Cobra mount reports manned and ready.
00:03:50Height to two manned and ready.
00:03:51Quad mount reports manned and ready.
00:03:52Head to twin mount reports manned and ready.
00:03:53All guns manned and ready.
00:03:54What's happening?
00:03:55Why are we at quarters?
00:03:56New contact, captain.
00:03:57High on the bow of starboard.
00:03:58It's blacklisted.
00:03:59Why was I informed by the alarms instead of you?
00:04:00I-I considered...
00:04:01Then why didn't you?
00:04:02We'll talk about this later.
00:04:03I have the con, threat board on one.
00:04:04Combat condition.
00:04:05Ceiling pressure.
00:04:06Doors.
00:04:07What's happening?
00:04:08What's happening?
00:04:09Why are we at quarters?
00:04:10New contact, captain.
00:04:11High on the bow of starboard.
00:04:13It's blacklisted.
00:04:14Why was I informed by the alarms instead of you?
00:04:17I-I considered...
00:04:19Then why didn't you?
00:04:21We'll talk about this later.
00:04:24I have the con, threat board on one.
00:04:27Combat condition.
00:04:29Ceiling pressure.
00:04:30Doors.
00:04:31She'll pass right a beam of us.
00:04:35Couldn't ask for a better setup.
00:04:38Set mod, distance to target?
00:04:40Contact is close distance to two million armands.
00:04:42Speed is constant at 200,000 APH.
00:04:45She's drifting.
00:04:46Trying to sneak through undetected.
00:04:48Who generated the blacklist for her?
00:04:50The Arkwright family.
00:04:57The Arkwrights?
00:04:59We're collecting bounties for those beasts?
00:05:03Keep those thoughts to yourself.
00:05:05If you need a reason, this means serious prize money.
00:05:08When over in con, break reactor to 100%.
00:05:21Standbys for men's flank speed operations.
00:05:24Max output eye.
00:05:26Reactors one and two.
00:05:27Latch to the rods and lift to the stops.
00:05:29Aye, sir.
00:05:30Latching and lifting.
00:05:31We could try pushing her a little bit.
00:05:42Not this time.
00:05:43Let's see how she handles ordinary combat first.
00:05:46I'll correct course and angle to match the target.
00:05:50And prepare to reverse.
00:05:51Aye, sir.
00:05:52Adjusting course.
00:05:53Contact is close distance to one point four million armands.
00:06:08Standby.
00:06:09Confirmed classification Bolton class freighter.
00:06:12Looks like she's even older than we are.
00:06:14Focus on your jobs, please.
00:06:15That's not ever getting away.
00:06:16Target course.
00:06:17Matched.
00:06:18All back standard?
00:06:19Aye, sir.
00:06:20All back standard.
00:06:21Nice and smooth.
00:06:22Just like my dad's clipper.
00:06:23Burn up twenty percent.
00:06:24Burn up twenty percent.
00:06:25Burn up twenty percent.
00:06:26Aye.
00:06:27Contact approaching steady.
00:06:28After this patrol, you should come on another trip with us.
00:06:33Um, yeah, that sounds nice, but the freighter will work well.
00:06:34I'm fine.
00:06:35I'm fine.
00:06:36No.
00:06:37No, no.
00:06:38No.
00:06:39No.
00:06:40No.
00:06:41No, no.
00:06:42No.
00:06:43No.
00:06:44No, no, no.
00:06:45No.
00:06:46No, no.
00:06:47No.
00:06:48No.
00:06:49No.
00:06:50No.
00:06:51No, no.
00:06:52No.
00:06:53No, no.
00:06:54No.
00:06:55No.
00:06:56No.
00:06:57No, no.
00:06:58What's she doing? She should be trying to evade us by now.
00:07:02Captain, target has increased speed to 201,000 APH and is accelerating.
00:07:06She's gunning it, Marcus.
00:07:08I'll have to brace. Flight reverse!
00:07:17Don't call me by first name in front of the men.
00:07:19Captain, target 1 is veering to starboard.
00:07:22Cut bird to 80%.
00:07:24Full bird on port, 3 quarters on starboard bow tips for 15 seconds.
00:07:44Combs, transmit an assist order and identify us.
00:07:47Cobra mount, prepare a warning shot over her bow.
00:07:50Chief, the threat board just went out.
00:07:54Recycling ambulance, sir.
00:07:56Colin, target 1 is slowing down now.
00:07:58Attention, all passengers. The new year has arrived.
00:08:02The party is in full swing on sea deck. Where are you?
00:08:07Get on down and join the celebration.
00:08:09What is that? Who is playing that?
00:08:11I'm sorry, Captain, it's-
00:08:12What are you doing?
00:08:13It's part of an old system. A virtual personality for tourists.
00:08:16Her name's Claire. Some of our components were purchased second hand off an old cruise liner.
00:08:21We encountered her during the shakedown run.
00:08:23Captain Timmons had all of her code removed.
00:08:26I don't see how she can still be functioning.
00:08:28Stars and garters, have we got the event of a lifetime lined up for you?
00:08:32Captain, target's slowing further.
00:08:34Life has this been possible.
00:08:36Shut her off.
00:08:37Are you as excited as I am?
00:08:38Merc.
00:08:39Captain, I think he's trying to back down and run the other way.
00:08:41Shut her off!
00:08:43Fire the warning shot!
00:08:46Cobra mount, fire!
00:08:50No change in target course.
00:08:52All hands brace, reverse thrust.
00:08:54All ahead one quarter.
00:08:55I through.
00:08:56Mr. Sabrin, please prepare to disable her.
00:09:12Fire at her with, uh, I think half shots would do the trick.
00:09:17All guns, target her forward engines.
00:09:24Hydro One, load half shots.
00:09:26Cops, any acknowledgement yet?
00:09:28It's a little funny, Captain.
00:09:29We may have just heard her channel open, then close again.
00:09:32Nothing further.
00:09:33Very well.
00:09:34Disable her, please, Mr. Sabrin.
00:09:36Hydro One, fire!
00:09:38Fire!
00:09:39Weapon missed.
00:09:43Leading target.
00:09:44Adjusted minus four.
00:09:45Adjusted fire.
00:09:46Adjusted fire.
00:09:52Adjusted and fire.
00:09:53Adjusting minus four.
00:09:54Fire!
00:10:00Hit, Captain.
00:10:01Confirmed.
00:10:02Target's forward engines appear to be disabled.
00:10:04She's spinning free.
00:10:05Helm, seize forward thrust.
00:10:07Burn reverse at one quarter.
00:10:09Twenty-five seconds burn.
00:10:11Bring us alongside.
00:10:12We'll extend the mag at one thousand yards.
00:10:14Call it out fully.
00:10:15Aye, sir.
00:10:16Mr. Royce, can we open their doors if we have to do this old-fashioned way?
00:10:19It should be easy, sir.
00:10:21They're shutting down their communication systems like they think I'm going to hack them through that.
00:10:25They should be worried about the key rate.
00:10:27Do we have a key?
00:10:28I'm checking now, sir, but it's going to take a while.
00:10:30You don't have a while.
00:10:31Helm, continue your approach.
00:10:32Let's get into position.
00:10:33This needs to be handled quickly.
00:10:35One thousand yards.
00:10:36Devil's distance, Captain.
00:10:37Deploy the mag.
00:10:38Her rotation is slowing.
00:10:39She's dragging us with her.
00:10:41Five.
00:10:42Four.
00:10:43Three.
00:10:44Two.
00:10:45One.
00:10:46Synchro.
00:10:47We're all tips to Starbird.
00:10:48We're listening.
00:10:49We're listening.
00:10:50Extend the lock.
00:10:51We're all tips to Starbird.
00:10:52We're listening.
00:10:53Extend the lock.
00:10:54Prepare and board again.
00:10:55Go!
00:10:56Go!
00:10:57Go!
00:10:58Go!
00:10:59You can do it.
00:11:00Go!
00:11:01Go!
00:11:02Go!
00:11:03Go!
00:11:04Go!
00:11:05Go!
00:11:06Go!
00:11:07Go!
00:11:08Go!
00:11:09Go!
00:11:10Go!
00:11:11Go!
00:11:12Go!
00:11:13Go!
00:11:14Go!
00:11:16Go!
00:11:17Go!
00:11:18Go!
00:11:19Go!
00:11:20Go!
00:11:21Go!
00:11:22Prepare boarding action and take charge.
00:11:24Hi Captain.
00:11:26All compartments prepare for boarding action.
00:11:29Mr. Merchoff, assemble your men at airlock four.
00:11:33Let's select them.
00:11:36You too.
00:11:37Marcus.
00:11:48Target One is fighting the mag.
00:11:50This key?
00:11:51Yeah, yeah, I've got it.
00:11:52For a second there I thought I'd have to magic one up.
00:11:54Are we ready to breach?
00:11:56Yes sir.
00:12:01Alright boys, this is your first engagement.
00:12:03Remember your training and put it into practice.
00:12:05Prepare to take your first trophies.
00:12:07Tahong, tahon, tahon!
00:12:09So stay where you are Mr. Hess.
00:12:10We got this in hand.
00:12:11Hefton told me to take charge.
00:12:13The mop up now with your attention.
00:12:15I have my orders.
00:12:20Very well sir.
00:12:22Pressurizing the walkway.
00:12:25For sure!
00:12:30They've dispersed through the airlock.
00:12:32Advancing towards the bridge.
00:12:33Perchoff commanding.
00:12:34Handling's fire team moving aft.
00:12:35Baldwin taking the crew quarters.
00:12:39Handling reports engineering secured.
00:12:41All hands in the space have surrendered.
00:12:43No resistance encountered yet.
00:12:45Wait.
00:12:48Be advised.
00:12:49Baldwin has encountered token resistance in the crew areas.
00:12:51Handling moving to assist.
00:12:54Nearing the bridge.
00:12:55We're approaching with caution.
00:13:01Anyone else see that?
00:13:02One moment sir.
00:13:21Ship secured captain. She's ours.
00:13:26Yeah!
00:13:27It's one prize to us.
00:13:37Link us up.
00:13:38We'll do a tandem break.
00:13:39Take a manifest.
00:13:40I'll be up there shortly.
00:13:43Well done, Exo.
00:13:50Well done, Exo.
00:13:51Foodstuffs indeed.
00:14:12He's got enough weapons back there to take Brasilia.
00:14:16Arms for the war on Perkinus maybe?
00:14:18Doesn't matter.
00:14:19Those boys picked a fight with the wrong oligarchs.
00:14:22Wouldn't it be something if these weapons were legitimate?
00:14:25I mean, I wouldn't put it past the Arkwrights to file a false claim.
00:14:28Odds are they're stolen.
00:14:30They're from Hoplon Arms and if you noticed somebody had a little bit of fun with the serial members.
00:14:35How do you know it's Hoplon?
00:14:37I almost bought from them when we were outpitting our own marines.
00:14:39Good value for money, but unfortunately the Yankee founder won't have any business with independent clothing.
00:14:45Your scholar's memory serves us well, Captain.
00:14:47You should have seen him in school.
00:14:48You can recite books from front to back.
00:14:51Captain, Arkwright vessel Peerless Diligence is alongside, requesting clearance to dock.
00:14:57Granted.
00:14:58So he's sticking around?
00:14:59Make my apologies to the commander personally.
00:15:00After that, get all of our men off this ship.
00:15:01I want to be out here as soon as possible.
00:15:05I want to be out here as soon as possible.
00:15:06I want to be out here as soon as possible.
00:15:10After that, get all of our men off this ship.
00:15:12I want to be out here as soon as possible.
00:15:13After that, get all of our men off this ship.
00:15:14I want to be out here as soon as possible.
00:15:15After that, get to be out here as soon as possible.
00:15:16After that, get all of our men off this ship.
00:15:17After that, get a ride for you.
00:15:18After that, get to be out of here as soon as possible.
00:15:20Then get to be out of here as soon as possible.
00:15:21Why did you let Masterson take us to Khorus without informing me?
00:15:47It's a standard practice. He and the crew need to learn their jobs and how to work together, and how to work with the ship.
00:15:54You put this crew together, Abner, and now you're telling us that they still need an education?
00:15:58Tom.
00:15:59That's quite alright, sir. I did the best I could with the budget you gave me.
00:16:04Yes, I personally know several of the officers, but they don't all know each other, and they don't know you.
00:16:10Young greenhorns like Masterson need a chance to make up their own minds under pressure.
00:16:14I understand, but I must insist on being kept in the loop.
00:16:18Of course. But your fire control officer doesn't need your help to do his job.
00:16:23It seemed like the right thing in the moment.
00:16:25Well, that's why your father sent me along. To advise you, sir.
00:16:29And what exactly does that mean in practice? You stopped me from giving Masterson an order. That's a good deal more than mere advice.
00:16:36It was an order you didn't need to give, but don't worry. I'll make sure you both get home quickly and in one piece. It's my job.
00:16:44Your point is taken, Abner, and we'll work on this going forward.
00:16:47You know what's getting to me is that, that voice. I understand that the ship's components came from unusual places, but we can't have that. It's an embarrassment and it's dangerous.
00:17:01Young Royce is weeding her out as we speak.
00:17:03Has he started his qualification course? I want every single one of my officers to be able to stand and watch.
00:17:08If I may make a suggestion, Captain, you might focus on today's victory. Today's prize is worth a fair penny and we bagged it right out of the gate. And it was an excellent learning experience.
00:17:26Oh, that guy. I don't even know why we have to have him with us.
00:17:30It's a fine start.
00:17:43I can hardly believe it.
00:17:44Believe what?
00:17:45What we just did. What you just did. I mean, you have this junk ship and a patched together crew.
00:17:51It was easy pickings and the Marines did most of the work.
00:17:53And you have the greenest Marine outfit available.
00:17:56The approach was perfect right out of the gate. You couldn't have asked for a better setup.
00:18:00And you've apparently got the luck of the Irish.
00:18:02I'm also the youngest and least experienced commanding officer in the entire fleet.
00:18:09Always the bright side with you.
00:18:19What do you suppose Lydia's up to?
00:18:21Counting corpses on the ship that we just captured for her daddy?
00:18:28That's what you're thinking of her, isn't it? That ship.
00:18:32Maybe things would be better if I just went back and married her.
00:18:36Was it prideful of me to reject her father's offer?
00:18:39No. Your dad may have blown the fortune, but your family name still means something.
00:18:44Abner certainly isn't here for the salary.
00:18:46Yeah, we kind of blew all the family favors on this trip, didn't we?
00:18:49Better to exhaust all your options than thrown with the Arkwrights.
00:18:53You marry Lydia and you're going to be dangling on the ends of their strings for the rest of your life.
00:18:57People will die for our little enterprise.
00:18:59Two of our Marines already dead.
00:19:01They all take that risk for citizenship, for a career, for a little opportunity to score some loot.
00:19:08And don't forget us. Here to save the family farm.
00:19:10We're here to prevent you from becoming some sort of mob husband.
00:19:15Learn to deal with Lydia later, and only if you have to.
00:19:20You about ready to open up our orders?
00:19:22You'd have taken on that freighter on your own, right? If Masterson hadn't brought us to quarters?
00:19:31Of course I would have. I told you. It was the perfect setup.
00:19:34You know what? I didn't even need to ask. I could see it in your eyes during the chase.
00:19:38We're all proud of you. Your dad's proud of you.
00:19:41We have to be aggressive out here sometimes, and you were.
00:19:44It was bold the way you handled it. Bold.
00:19:48A little bit more of that, and you will avoid the cold clutches of arranged matrimony.
00:19:53Unless that's... what you want.
00:19:57I'll leave you to it.
00:20:02I'll leave you to it.
00:20:27Well...
00:20:57Prize money on the first day.
00:21:22You know, I'm going to get my wife something nice, and we get that bonus money.
00:21:27Maybe this Deval kid does know a thing or two.
00:21:30Keeps up like this, we're all going home loaded.
00:21:32What about you, Abel?
00:21:33You got a family back home?
00:21:34Not really.
00:21:35Sure you do.
00:21:37Who else would be on that message you keep playing back when you don't think anyone's looking?
00:21:41What are your business, Dimitri?
00:21:43Hey, this ship needs a name, don't you think?
00:21:45She's got a name.
00:21:46Ah, Kamara's not much of a name for a lady.
00:21:48She's Scrap.
00:21:49Scrap? Hell, she's our ticket through Port Shelley.
00:21:51You know, the captain's father, he's the governor there.
00:21:54He decides which folks didn't have to get citizenship.
00:21:57They say he's got a reputation for generosity.
00:22:00Yeah.
00:22:01Shut up, Salis.
00:22:02Shelly?
00:22:03Don't think she looks.
00:22:04Shelly.
00:22:05Like Port Shelley.
00:22:06I could get behind that.
00:22:07Wait, we're just going to call it Shelly?
00:22:09I didn't know what we were going to get into when I signed on, but she's proving herself
00:22:12now.
00:22:13So what if for bits of mileage?
00:22:15They're well loved.
00:22:16They work.
00:22:17So far.
00:22:18I'm serious.
00:22:19We're really just going to call it Shelly?
00:22:21I'm serious, too.
00:22:22Didn't you hear the word out of the yards?
00:22:23What?
00:22:24Yeah, it's a captured ship repaired with pieces from all kinds of other ships.
00:22:28Not captured.
00:22:29Salvaged.
00:22:30Two ships.
00:22:31They get different halves blown off in battle.
00:22:33All hands lost.
00:22:34And the Admiral Lee decides to make the best of it by welding the two ends together.
00:22:38Why do you think she's the only hybrid class in the fleet?
00:22:41Ships like this get sold at cheap foreign navies, not commissioned as vessels of the state.
00:22:48So you're saying that we're sailing a pair of coffins?
00:22:51I guess so.
00:22:52I thought I smelled something.
00:22:53You're full of crap, Salis.
00:22:55Yeah, maybe that's it.
00:22:56Hate to burst your dreams of becoming respectable citizens, but you can check it all out for yourselves
00:23:00when we put in.
00:23:01It's incontrovertible.
00:23:03In contrast.
00:23:04Where do you get off?
00:23:06You think you're so smart, but you're just like the rest of us.
00:23:10Lonely peons.
00:23:11That's not what I meant.
00:23:12It is a little obnoxious.
00:23:13Just speak at a level we can all appreciate.
00:23:15Whatever.
00:23:16I fold.
00:23:17Philistines.
00:23:18That's it.
00:23:19I've had it!
00:23:20Whoa!
00:23:21It's not worth it.
00:23:22It's alright, man.
00:23:23Take it easy.
00:23:24Attention on deck!
00:23:30What's all this about?
00:23:32Nothing, sir.
00:23:33Come with me, Salis.
00:23:34Sir, I did it.
00:23:35You're being detached from gunnery.
00:23:36I need a new assistant.
00:23:37Mr. Severin's already done with the paperwork.
00:23:38Come on.
00:23:39Come on.
00:23:40Come on!
00:23:41Come on!
00:23:42Okay.
00:23:43First off, it's important you understand something that your predecessor didn't.
00:23:45What's that?
00:23:46You know nothing.
00:23:47Oh.
00:23:48I can't waste time breaking you of your assumptions.
00:23:50Aggregate displacement confounds the best of minds.
00:23:51Aggregate displacement confounds the best of minds.
00:23:52Aggregate displacement?
00:23:53I can't waste time breaking you of your assumptions.
00:23:54Aggregate displacement confounds the best of minds.
00:23:55Aggregate displacement?
00:23:56You mean the static shift drive.
00:23:57Is that what I'll be working on?
00:23:58No.
00:23:59No.
00:24:00No.
00:24:01No.
00:24:02No.
00:24:03No.
00:24:04No.
00:24:05No.
00:24:06No.
00:24:07No.
00:24:08No.
00:24:09No.
00:24:10No.
00:24:11No.
00:24:12No.
00:24:13No.
00:24:14No.
00:24:15No.
00:24:16No.
00:24:17No.
00:24:18No.
00:24:19No.
00:24:20No.
00:24:21No.
00:24:22No.
00:24:23No.
00:24:24No.
00:24:25No.
00:24:26No.
00:24:27No.
00:24:28No.
00:24:29No.
00:24:30No.
00:24:31No.
00:24:32No.
00:24:33No.
00:24:34No.
00:24:35No.
00:24:36No.
00:24:37No.
00:24:38No.
00:24:39No.
00:24:40No.
00:24:41No.
00:24:42No.
00:24:43No.
00:24:44No.
00:24:45No.
00:24:46No.
00:24:47No.
00:24:48No.
00:24:49No.
00:24:50No.
00:24:51decimal point or something. Worst case, our existences explode across 16 dimensions.
00:24:59Really? No.
00:25:07Go on.
00:25:21Enough breadboards in there to make the whole crew sandwiches. Open face.
00:25:31You're a dork. Sir. Only a dork would enjoy this. I can't pretend I'm not interested.
00:25:42Then perhaps I've chosen well. Here, get in there and remove the condensation from between the
00:25:49components. And be careful. The boards don't like to be bumped.
00:25:57Okay. So, aggregate displacement. Simply put, it's a theory of quantum science that allows the ship
00:26:03to move from one point in the universe to another. Given enough power and the right computations,
00:26:09it can instantaneously move you to any point in the universe.
00:26:13Any point?
00:26:14Any. Like you've been a point billions of light years away. Where no one else has ever been.
00:26:20Sure. The more power you can squeeze through the tube without frying it, the farther you can go.
00:26:25Understand though, it takes a fair bit just to hop a couple of light years. The whole process is
00:26:31extraordinarily sensitive. How does that work?
00:26:33You know those fundamental horrors of the universe that can drive a man mad if he learns them?
00:26:38I can't believe I'm working in here. I've heard people talk about guys like you like your royalty.
00:26:56You're just guys.
00:27:02Sir. Thanks. I can't remember the last time someone really took a chance on me. You won't regret it.
00:27:13No sweat. Anyway, for right now we're just doing routine maintenance. We have to do this before
00:27:19every halt. We're leaving the system. Captain just told me to do my round.
00:27:24That usually means travel. Gentlemen, we are no longer hunting down blacklist pirate ships to settle
00:27:31grudges. We can take prizes of opportunity, but our goal in mind is one ship. We are not part of an
00:27:37official fleet structure, but we are expected to cooperate with other ships that have the same
00:27:41objective in mind, allied or otherwise. What kind of ship are we chasing? We don't know.
00:27:46One of our allies was able to take this picture.
00:27:54Intelligence calls her the white ship. She appears and attacks ships seemingly at random.
00:28:01She bears no identifying markings other than her distinctive coat of white paint.
00:28:06Captain, may I ask who gave us this information?
00:28:09I'm not at liberty to be specific about the source.
00:28:12Of course not.
00:28:12Watch your tone.
00:28:13It's all right. Gary, speak your mind.
00:28:18Captain, our allies can't even take a decent picture of what killed them.
00:28:23And if this massive ship even exists, our allies are probably hoping that either
00:28:28we're more competent than they are, or that we're better at absorbing cannon fire.
00:28:32Have some decency, Gary.
00:28:34Oh, to hell with decency.
00:28:35The only reason we'd all cooperate is that we each expect each other to lie down and die for our own success.
00:28:41Gary.
00:28:42I guarantee you they're thinking exactly the same thing.
00:28:45The chairman himself has issued these orders.
00:28:50Every able vessel is being called out to join in this hunt.
00:28:54Several of our courier ships have already been destroyed.
00:28:57This is big. It strikes at the very heart of our national industry.
00:29:04Without those ships, we could not provide the services that more or less fund our country.
00:29:09There's far more at stake here than the interest of whatever nation first called us into this.
00:29:14All the more reason to keep what Gary is saying in mind.
00:29:17Look, some of our friends may not necessarily have our best interests in mind.
00:29:26Still, we have as good a shot as anyone at finding this fight ship.
00:29:31If we play our cards right.
00:29:34Thank you, Abner.
00:29:36And there's something else.
00:29:40Chairman Hauser has offered up a remarkable sum for the capture of this ship.
00:29:47He's marked half his receipts from last quarter.
00:29:50And he's leaning on the Admiral T to match it.
00:29:59Is that from his grosser net?
00:30:02Gross.
00:30:05Last quarter was quite kind to him from the numbers I've seen.
00:30:09Now all we have to do is make sure that we're part of the group that finishes her off.
00:30:13Well, I think we're all with you, Captain.
00:30:16So, uh, where do we start?
00:30:21We'll move out system and hover it at Cretchen Point.
00:30:24From there, we'll make transition to...
00:30:33Here.
00:30:35The Prentiss system.
00:30:37Right at the edge of the Deccan Abyss.
00:30:39Pretty far out.
00:30:43It's about the most we can do in one hop.
00:30:45Take a couple days charging before we can come back.
00:30:48And awfully close to Yankee territory.
00:30:50Everything out here is close to Yankee territory.
00:30:52Why this area, Captain?
00:31:00It's awful sparse traffic out there and a long way from home.
00:31:05It's unlikely we'll run into anything, even other hunters.
00:31:08A lot of the attacks have taken place at the edge of the Deccan.
00:31:12I'm playing a hunch that they're making their way around the brim.
00:31:16We can resupply at Hyrum.
00:31:18And then funnel it through Satan's Sheet's Fel, the orbital station there.
00:31:22And now what?
00:31:24More like the only show in town.
00:31:26There'll be something to buy from there.
00:31:27Okay then.
00:31:30I expect all of you to carry out your duties as usual.
00:31:33And to keep unnecessary information from the crew.
00:31:36Set mod operators will have elevated privileges.
00:31:40Any questions?
00:31:44You may return to your duties.
00:31:57Something on your mind, Abner?
00:32:20I'm just curious about this hunch.
00:32:23You really think they're just making a clockwise tour of the Deccan's Edge?
00:32:26I said it was a hunch.
00:32:33You already knew what our orders were.
00:32:36Not the usual generalities.
00:32:39Someone gave you specifics.
00:32:41Prentiss is an educated guess.
00:32:47There's been some unusual activity reported there the last few days.
00:32:51And do you think it's really this white ship?
00:32:56Well?
00:33:00It's a long way to go in a hunch.
00:33:03I admire your gumption, Captain.
00:33:16It's a long way to go in a hurry.
00:33:17It's a long way to go in a hurry.
00:33:35Elm, full stop and hover.
00:33:37Aye, sir.
00:33:38Full stop and hover.
00:33:39All stop, Captain.
00:33:46Trimming to hover.
00:33:52Trimming complete.
00:33:53Ship is hovering.
00:33:55Mr. Hess, we are ready to commence the sequence.
00:33:59Commencing sequence.
00:34:0160 seconds on my mark.
00:34:03Three, two, one, mark.
00:34:06Comms.
00:34:08Heads are rigged in and stowed.
00:34:10LSO.
00:34:11Stable.
00:34:11Fire control.
00:34:13Powered down.
00:34:14All guns in locked position.
00:34:15Maneuvering.
00:34:16SSD at standby.
00:34:17Reactor's a hundred percent.
00:34:20All redundant systems are suspended.
00:34:22Mr. Tamai, power the SSD.
00:34:24Power SSDI, sir.
00:34:27Operator, opener up steady.
00:34:34Steady increase.
00:34:36Normal continuum extraction.
00:34:37Full attenuating.
00:34:38Coolant.
00:34:40Natural circulation.
00:34:41Nominal flow.
00:34:42Why does everyone look so nervous?
00:34:44Our SSD was only given short tests before rechristening.
00:34:53Are you nervous?
00:34:56Yup.
00:34:57Not all.
00:35:0033, 33, 32, 31, 30, 29, 28, 27, 26, 25, 24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 18, 17, 18, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19.
00:35:2410, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Execute.
00:35:42Mrs. D is powering down. All systems nominal.
00:35:47Reactor 75%.
00:35:48Aye, sir. Reactor 75%.
00:35:51What went wrong?
00:35:56Nothing went wrong. We're here.
00:35:59Then that's it?
00:36:00That's it.
00:36:07That's bizarre.
00:36:08You taste copper?
00:36:10Yeah. Thought I was bleeding.
00:36:12Happens to about 10% of people. It won't hurt you.
00:36:17Is it time for lunch yet?
00:36:19I'm starving like an artist.
00:36:21You're a dork, sir.
00:36:25190 million miles out of Hiram. Solid hover. Origin point marked.
00:36:31All compartments secure from transition sequence.
00:36:35No errors.
00:36:40No errors.
00:36:41I did it all right after all.
00:36:45Tom.
00:36:46Go ahead and take the comm.
00:36:48Plot of course for mid-system.
00:36:50Let's get hunting.
00:36:52Aye, aye, Captain.
00:36:54Helm.
00:36:55Come to course 150 by 041.
00:36:58Roll angle 12 degrees.
00:37:00Burn ahead one half and hold six hours.
00:37:03Aye, sir.
00:37:04Course 150 by 041.
00:37:06Roll angle to 12 degrees.
00:37:08Burn one half and hold six hours.
00:37:10Never been this far from home.
00:37:15Home sick?
00:37:17No.
00:37:17No.

00:37:41No.
00:37:42No.
00:37:43No.
00:37:43No.
00:37:44No.
00:37:44Did you do DW in your last assignment?
00:38:02Just as an assistant, but yeah, and their setup was crap.
00:38:06The captain only got five keys from the Admiralty, so they had me trying to hack one ship after
00:38:10the other.
00:38:11In the end, we would always just blow down the doors.
00:38:15That's one thing I will give to our intrepid captain.
00:38:17He didn't skimp on that keyring.
00:38:19Yeah, how is he supposed to have all this stuff?
00:38:22I mean, isn't he supposed to be all low on cash?
00:38:25You shouldn't be talking about that.
00:38:26Oh, come on, Kai.
00:38:27You've heard the rumors.
00:38:28I mean, he went to one of the top schools, was in one of those clubs.
00:38:32Now that's enough.
00:38:33It's obvious he's in bed with high government.
00:38:36His surname should have tipped you off on that.
00:38:38There's no question that IO's involved.
00:38:41Why would the intelligence office have anything to do with this?
00:38:43Pfft, beats me.
00:38:44But who else has the resources to supply something like this?
00:38:47I mean, did you see those unmarked ordnance crates that we took on a few days ago?
00:38:51I bet you those are some of those new Molden rounds.
00:38:53Who told you all this?
00:38:54How about that big red button up at fire control?
00:38:56Yeah, what is that thing?
00:38:57Testudo.
00:38:58Tortoise?
00:38:59Tortoise shell.
00:39:00Tortoise shell.
00:39:01The outer shakecoat layer of our armor is nothing unusual for a warship.
00:39:06But they discovered a while ago that if you run a heavy current through it in these alternating
00:39:10grid patterns, it hardens to something like 20 times its usual strength.
00:39:15That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
00:39:19You run current through any metal and all it does is heat up.
00:39:22It actually weakens it.
00:39:24Not to mention the scientific fact that all semiconductor materials like our outer armor
00:39:28actively resist current.
00:39:29Not this semiconducting material.
00:39:31If you don't know how it works, just say so.
00:39:34Don't try and make it up.
00:39:35Why isn't this standard across all the fleet?
00:39:38Because while it sounds great in theory, in practice the TS burns through so much power
00:39:43our reactors can never hold it constant.
00:39:45Moreover, the alternating grid phases have this unexplained habit of trying to flow back into
00:39:50the transformers.
00:39:51The systems burn themselves out within a few seconds and take everything that was connected
00:39:56to them.
00:39:57That's crazy.
00:40:00Why would anyone want that?
00:40:01Search me.
00:40:02Who knows what evil looks in the mind of inbred aristocrats.
00:40:07Now that is enough.
00:40:08You stop with all this gossip right now.
00:40:11Quite frankly, it's unbecoming of officers.
00:40:13Besides, don't you have something better to do?
00:40:16I do know if that's going to be your attitude.
00:40:18Wipe the cereal off your face and get out of here.
00:40:21No more of that talk.
00:40:22I mean it.
00:40:23And that's a risky gamble there, Pat.
00:40:24If he can hide the cannon before the rep gets up, he'll be in the lead.
00:40:25Red, what do you think of this move by Pinkerton?
00:40:26It's a failure diplomacy, Ted.
00:40:27This may be a case of winning the battle and losing the war.
00:40:28This show sucks.
00:40:29What are you, five?
00:40:30Shut up.
00:40:31Grown-ups are trying to watch.
00:40:32At least it's new.
00:40:33Who's broadcasting this?
00:40:34A Saint Ney sheet.
00:40:35I think they imported it from Puerto Long.
00:40:36Quit playing with your hair.
00:40:37We'll hold you down again and shave the rest off.
00:40:39What is this?
00:40:40Garbage.
00:40:41How do you have any brain cells left, Eli?
00:40:43I keep spares and tiny vials rolled up with my socks.
00:40:45Right up and break we'll have to change stuff here.
00:40:49As has been a result in racial weight, we have the sound facts.
00:40:52Where did they dig up these marines, anyway?
00:40:56Back side of somewhere.
00:40:57Well, how come they don't talk to us?
00:40:59Why, would you want them to?
00:41:02I mean, we do share our sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar.
00:41:05And we need to make some brain cubs.
00:41:07Why do they dig up these marines anyway?
00:41:09The backside is somewhere.
00:41:11Well how come they don't talk to us?
00:41:12Why would you want them to?
00:41:14I mean we do share a ship with them.
00:41:16So?
00:41:17They're weirdos, just leave them be.
00:41:20That's enough to try to do your job and keep your sanity out here without some lunatics trying to raise the dead next door.
00:41:27They aren't summoning the dead, they're sending prayers to the Shah.
00:41:29Oh are they?
00:41:30And what's a Shah?
00:41:31A male peacock.
00:41:33He's their king basically.
00:41:35Way back when their Irish leader started co-opting bits of Persian and Viking culture.
00:41:40Then he convinced them that all of their prayers flowed through him to their respective gods.
00:41:45It's a good thing they can shoot straight since they think in pretzels.
00:41:48It sounds like devil worship to me.
00:41:50Praying to some crazy possessed man.
00:41:53Superstitious now?
00:41:54Gosh Sailor, way to beat the stereotype.
00:41:57You know, I've seen that medal you have.
00:42:00Why don't you pull it out when you don't think he was looking, but I've seen you staring at that thing.
00:42:05Almost as if you were praying to it.
00:42:07It's not religious, you moron.
00:42:09It's just something my mother gave me.
00:42:10Oh, good for you.
00:42:12Go back to your books, Miles boy.
00:42:14What are you looking forward to?
00:42:16My son's next birthday.
00:42:17I haven't thought of my home chemistry set.
00:42:19Well, we'll be having our panel analyze that.
00:42:22They can't really be trying to summon demons or something, can they?
00:42:25Who knows?
00:42:26Why don't you go ask him a minute.
00:42:28See what happens.
00:42:29I ain't talking to no demon razors.
00:42:31...from the Elgin Foundation for preserving arts and passion for food products.
00:42:35And in part by donations from viewers like you.
00:42:38This show sucks.
00:42:40I don't know what it was, but it was a big deal.
00:42:45They just looked like they were expecting me to shoot.
00:42:50I'm not sure what we were expecting, but they were expecting me to have a chance.
00:42:52Got something?
00:42:54Yeah, I think so.
00:42:55It's unofficial chatter, audio only, but it caught our attention.
00:43:03It's gone, sir.
00:43:04What do you think?
00:43:16I think we should tell the captain.
00:43:18Good man.
00:43:20She's here, gentlemen.
00:43:25Nursing wounds out beyond the edge of the system.
00:43:28We intercepted comm traffic that indicates a very large ship of unknown class.
00:43:33Attacked a convoy on its way out of the system.
00:43:36Bad luck for them.
00:43:37The convoy came with a major escort compliment.
00:43:40Those warships carved her up pretty badly, but...
00:43:43They chose not to pursue.
00:43:46She finally walked into a fight she wasn't prepared for.
00:43:53We'll resupply and then head out into the empty on her suspected tangent.
00:43:56We'll sweep outward, zigzagging on all axes.
00:44:00Active sweeps at high speed, and we take this one aggressively.
00:44:03Just like the gun runner.
00:44:05It's a good plan.
00:44:07Looks like your hunch is paying off.
00:44:10Dismissed.
00:44:13Dismissed.
00:44:16After so many years of disappointment,
00:44:46I must say that the notion of feeling genuine pride for another family member is, well, alluring.
00:44:55I won't pretend that I'm exactly holding my breath, understand?
00:45:00But it feels good to be wildly hopeful for once.
00:45:04You are making the major first step.
00:45:09Something that your parents, neither one of them, could ever bother you.
00:45:13Hey.
00:45:13You do on deck in five minutes.
00:45:17I know.
00:45:19Mother.
00:45:21How old do I look to you?
00:45:23Paunt.
00:45:24Grandparent.
00:45:27Grand.
00:45:30It's okay.
00:45:32No one's going to judge.
00:45:33The closest we've been able to figure, the ship is unfeasibly accurate at range, or else has some way of closing distance fast.
00:45:47We're having a hard time separating the myth from the fact.
00:45:50Whatever it is the white ship is doing, we're pretty sure it happens fast.
00:45:56Some of the boxes we found haven't even logged cries for help.
00:46:01I don't envy it, and I don't think your dad should have encouraged this excursion.
00:46:06Come in.
00:46:07Come in.
00:46:11Any word from home?
00:46:16The port authorities have made it a passenger fee for the water.
00:46:19Twelve hundred in Rhodesian pounds.
00:46:20I'll bet.
00:46:21Go ahead and give it to them.
00:46:23That will take us close to reserve.
00:46:25With the prize money coming in, we should be alright.
00:46:28By the way, Abner, I've been going over the crew bios again.
00:46:33Do you have a question about one of them?
00:46:35You call Sabrin Evacatus.
00:46:38Now, my Latin's a bit rusty.
00:46:41Which of the two empires does he hail from?
00:46:44I found him a while back doing mercenary work, and he mentioned he did two tours on a Martellan vessel.
00:46:51Are you worried about his credentials or his loyalty?
00:46:53I'd like to know how and why he left.
00:46:56Ask him.
00:46:56I didn't.
00:46:59He served with me on two ships now, and always with confidence and devotion.
00:47:04You know, if you had any doubts, you should have said something before we left port.
00:47:07I don't have doubts.
00:47:08It's just...
00:47:10Look at who we're docked with.
00:47:20Ah.
00:47:22I'm just a bit worried that if they see him, they might try and take him back.
00:47:26I had hoped that their war wouldn't reach this close to us, though.
00:47:31Well, for what it's worth, I can say with confidence that Sabrin seems to have lost faith in his homeland during his second tour.
00:47:38But, he didn't desert or go rogue.
00:47:42He's not a fugitive.
00:47:43He's just a bit bitter, I think.
00:47:46We'll have no trouble from the empires.
00:47:49Either one of them.
00:47:50Thank God for that.
00:47:51Gonna take, I am a fugitive?
00:47:57Oh, god.
00:47:58You don't have no trouble.
00:47:59This is over.
00:48:00I'm not a fugitive.
00:48:01I'm not a fugitive.
00:48:01I'm not a fugitive.
00:48:02Oh, god.
00:48:02I'm not a fugitive.
00:48:03I don't have to hide this.
00:48:04You don't have to hide this damn thing.
00:48:05I need to hide this from home.
00:48:05I'm not a fugitive.
00:48:06I'm not a fugitive.
00:48:0617-hour burn starting now.
00:48:14Cease burn at 2,600 hours.
00:48:16Helm, roll us left to 315.
00:48:18Maintain vertical.
00:48:20Rolling left to 315.
00:48:22Maintaining vertical.
00:48:24Set mod con.
00:48:25Report all contacts.
00:48:27Sparse traffic to stern.
00:48:28All bearings shifting to port.
00:48:30Two commercial vessels.
00:48:31Seven private.
00:48:32All of the tangents empty.
00:48:36It's not just about the cash.
00:48:48It's a whole issue with aristocracy.
00:48:50The Deval family may have helped found the nation,
00:48:52but that hasn't kept them from falling out of favor.
00:48:55They have permanent governorship over Port Shelley,
00:48:57but Granddad managed to screw that one up too.
00:49:01This whole ship is just daddy's last-ditch effort to regain relevance.
00:49:05What happens if he fails?
00:49:08Dissolution of the family property,
00:49:10basically handing over the family name to someone else in lieu of payment,
00:49:13and I've even heard talk of an arranged marriage to one of the Art Wright daughters.
00:49:18Could you imagine?
00:49:19What's this?
00:49:20Just a friendly conversation.
00:49:22Right.
00:49:23Because who doesn't enjoy gibbering with their girlfriend between classes?
00:49:26All right, all right.
00:49:28But you have to admit that he is a little off.
00:49:31I mean, he acts like a scared ensign.
00:49:33Mr. Royce, I have tolerated your attitude to this point,
00:49:36but you're testing the limits of my patience.
00:49:38Oh, come on.
00:49:40He's got us chasing phantom ships out here in the empty.
00:49:43He's holed up in his cabin.
00:49:44I mean, he's probably going pants-crapping insane just from the pressure of it all.
00:49:48You want to repeat that?
00:49:53No, really.
00:49:55I want to hear an in-depth assessment from the only actual ensign on board.
00:49:59And how far along are you with your qualification courses again?
00:50:03Clear off!
00:50:05Before I skin you.
00:50:06I'm in love with the children.
00:50:16Look.
00:50:18I know you keep him on the straight and narrow as far as performing his job.
00:50:22But you have to make sure he shows more respect for his captain.
00:50:26No matter what your personal issues may be with the man.
00:50:29Very well.
00:50:32Where'd you find him, anyway?
00:50:34Loafing around the house.
00:50:36But at least my brother said for even.
00:50:44Hey, Abel.
00:50:45You awake?
00:50:48Yeah.
00:50:50Why'd you come out here?
00:50:54His girlfriend told him to.
00:50:56Okay.
00:50:57I'm sure she's worth it.
00:51:00Why do you care?
00:51:01I can't resist a mystery.
00:51:05She's my grand-aunt.
00:51:08I knew it.
00:51:10Did she knit you a sweater for the trip?
00:51:13Offer to come along or rock you to sleep?
00:51:15You'd have to salute her if she did.
00:51:21Astro Navy.
00:51:23An officer.
00:51:25She commanded six lady ships before she retired.
00:51:28Mustang.
00:51:29I worked her way up from the very bottom.
00:51:33Wow.
00:51:34I'm impressed.
00:51:37You know, she has these aspirations for me.
00:51:42And she wants me off those ghetto islands back home.
00:51:45Proper citizenship wouldn't be bad either.
00:51:47I was thinking the same thing when Gladys was born.
00:51:53I want to make enough to get her a good education.
00:51:58You know she's going to make it through Port Shelley someday.
00:52:00Her own goals is lofty.
00:52:02Have some kids of your own?
00:52:03You'll make even higher ones.
00:52:04I'm okay with what I have.
00:52:06Yeah, tough life.
00:52:07Banging on one cylinder.
00:52:08Shut up, Dimitri.
00:52:11So,
00:52:12you don't have any kids then, maybe?
00:52:16No.
00:52:27What do you think we're doing out here anyway?
00:52:30Out in the black.
00:52:32Why?
00:52:34You worried or something?
00:52:35No.
00:52:37Well,
00:52:38Yeah, maybe a little.
00:52:43There's nothing to worry about.
00:52:45Just empty space.
00:52:47But that's just it.
00:52:48I mean,
00:52:49anything could be out here.
00:52:57There's nothing out here.
00:53:06The men are starting to wonder what we're doing out here.
00:53:09I'm beginning to wonder that myself.
00:53:11Well,
00:53:11a little reflection's good for you, Captain.
00:53:13But I hesitate to turn back as well.
00:53:17The Admiralty will be expecting to hear back from us in a couple of days.
00:53:20Don't make that the decision point, though.
00:53:22With shit this far out,
00:53:24those deadlines are pretty flexible.
00:53:25Well, we have been out here for some time, and at some point we're going to have to turn back.
00:53:30It's up to you when.
00:53:31But to turn back empty-handed, that doesn't mean that we're giving up.
00:53:38We could still replenish and resume the hunt.
00:53:41Not if somebody finds her first.
00:53:43We might return home and find out that there's nothing left, that it's all done, there's nothing left to resume.
00:53:50Don't be like that, Marcus.
00:53:51That's the dirty little secret here.
00:53:54It was never going to be enough to hunt down pirates and collect bounties without the white ship Dad and I are finished.
00:54:00The long line of the balls ever since, Uriah, will just be snuffed out.
00:54:04He founded a country where the most successful man rules, gives the chairmanship to his son, and the idiot loses it immediately.
00:54:14And then the rest of us have just been spiraling downwards since.
00:54:17Technically, Uriah founded a communications company.
00:54:21Just happened to grow rich enough that it was able to be nationalized.
00:54:24Thank you, Abner.
00:54:25I'm well aware of my family history.
00:54:27I heard it every day while I was in school.
00:54:29Your family screws up so bad that we're going to give them the one job that nobody can actually lose.
00:54:37Port Shelley.
00:54:39What happened to you in school is irrelevant.
00:54:42You're here now.
00:54:43You're the commander.
00:54:45Teenage bullies have no bearing on your responsibility to your crew or your family back home.
00:54:49Do not lecture me, Abner.
00:54:51My experience has everything to do with who I am.
00:54:54Oh, no, no, no.
00:54:55We're not going to do the self-pitying, woe is me.
00:54:58I'm not self-pitying.
00:55:00Oh, yes, you are.
00:55:02Did you think this was going to be easy?
00:55:04This is the real world of combat, war, and death.
00:55:08Thank whatever it is that you pray to that you haven't directly seen the death yet.
00:55:12Abner.
00:55:12You're leading a crew of men, and they need a man to lead them.
00:55:16Are you just going to mope around because your first stab at a tough mission is coming up empty?
00:55:24Grow up, Marcus.
00:55:26Right now.
00:55:281,700 hours cruising as before.
00:55:461,700 hours cruising as before, so noted.
00:55:50Set mod, Khan.
00:55:52Report all contacts.
00:55:53No contacts, sir.
00:55:57All scopes clear.
00:56:00What's our heading?
00:56:021,700 by 385.
00:56:06Burn to full stop, steer to 0,10, and resume speed.
00:56:12Full stop, steer 0,10, and resume speed.
00:56:15Aye, sir.
00:56:16Gary, take the Khan.
00:56:19Gary, take the Khan.
00:56:24All right.
00:56:26Do we still need to ask her?
00:56:27Yay.
00:56:28Thanks.
00:56:29God bless you.
00:56:29Hello and Kennedy.
00:56:29Come on.
00:56:30Stand now.
00:56:31People should join.
00:56:32Your friends will turn.
00:56:32Cindy.
00:56:33Stephanie.
00:56:34Westent.
00:56:37Are you.
00:56:38My God bless yourarlo.
00:56:39We're gonna�.
00:56:40Hey, man.
00:56:40給 it.
00:56:41Congratulations.
00:56:42See you.
00:56:42Really.
00:56:42Hollie.
00:56:44idadeq.
00:56:44There'
00:56:45Will come to go.
00:56:46I'll then show you today.
00:57:16We are really out there now.
00:57:25Back to the onboard library.
00:57:28But wait.
00:57:31Just a glitch.
00:57:33Ghost in the machine.
00:57:35Do we really have to bring ghosts into this?
00:57:38You don't have to.
00:57:39I just...
00:57:40Then don't.
00:57:41Okay?
00:57:41Just...
00:57:42Just...
00:57:43Just don't.
00:57:46Just don't.
00:58:16Just don't.
00:58:38I don't believe it.
00:58:50Captain to set mod.
00:58:52Captain to set mod.
00:58:58I don't believe it.
00:59:01What is she doing?
00:59:03She's not doing anything.
00:59:05Admissions, broadcasts.
00:59:06None.
00:59:08Either she's got fantastic shielding or her reactor's cold.
00:59:12Dead in the water?
00:59:13No.
00:59:14She'd be drifting if there was a sudden power loss.
00:59:17Maybe she hopped and we just happened on her before she could get up and running?
00:59:21She'd still be something.
00:59:23It has to be the white ship.
00:59:24I mean, look at the size of her.
00:59:26On this part of the void, there can't be more than a couple of ships that big running around.
00:59:31Foley, what is she?
00:59:34I... don't know, Captain.
00:59:35The computer's calling it a civilian on-toss cruiser, but the silhouette's all wrong.
00:59:41Whatever this is, I don't think it's in our databases.
00:59:45It's her.
00:59:47It's gotta be.
00:59:49Captain?
00:59:49Come on, Marcus.
01:00:02Let's go get her.
01:00:04Tom, so...
01:00:04Enough with the formalities, Marcus.
01:00:06This is me that you're talking to, and this is exactly what we've been working towards.
01:00:14Unless it's a trap.
01:00:14Unless it's a trap for who, exactly.
01:00:19Look, if she starts twitching when we get close, we can easily pull away with just scratches, Marcus.
01:00:27We ignore this, and we're missing the opportunity of a lifetime.
01:00:31Okay.
01:00:45We'll get in closer and evaluate her condition.
01:00:47Yes, sir.
01:00:47We're going in to get her.
01:00:54I have the con.
01:00:55Roll starboard 10 degrees.
01:00:58Starting at 49.
01:01:0010 tips to port by the bow.
01:01:01Aye, sir.
01:01:02Burn ahead one quarter.
01:01:0360 seconds.
01:01:05I have the con.
01:01:06Threat board on two.
01:01:17Captain.
01:01:23Set mod, what's her bearing?
01:01:25340 by 355 relative.
01:01:29Helm adjust our approach.
01:01:31Bring us up on our beam.
01:01:33Adjusting.
01:01:34Aye, sir.
01:01:37Captain.
01:01:40Yes.
01:01:42May I recommend we hail them?
01:01:44No.
01:01:46Radio silence for the time being.
01:01:51Shall we go to quarters?
01:01:57Go to quarters.
01:01:59General quarters.
01:02:00General quarters.
01:02:00All hands to battle stations.
01:02:01Chief, bring up the external on three.
01:02:23Extreme telephoto.
01:02:28Light her up.
01:02:29Closer.
01:02:35Closer.
01:02:49She's huge.
01:02:51Set mod, do you have a classification on the target?
01:02:54The computer's still stumbling on it.
01:02:58Now it says it could be a McLaren-Gray ship.
01:03:01Isn't it?
01:03:02No chance, Captain.
01:03:04Helm back one quarter.
01:03:05Let's not get too close yet.
01:03:11She looks derelict.
01:03:12Not necessarily.
01:03:16Look at that darkening aft.
01:03:18She's taken a couple serious hits.
01:03:20That could be a breach.
01:03:23The arrow lock looks warped on this side.
01:03:25We'd have to approach from the other,
01:03:27where she could have taken less damage.
01:03:28She's taking a care,
01:03:58Gary?
01:04:16Some variant on the Viper 3 mount.
01:04:22They're very accurate, but the magazines are kept inside the hull, and the barrels are
01:04:26to be rotated perpendicular to the spine to line up the feed slots between every shot.
01:04:31Not very good at close quarters.
01:04:34Have the crews of Hydra 1 and Quad Mount load specials.
01:04:42Aye, sir.
01:04:44Quad Mount and Hydra 1.
01:04:46Alright.
01:04:48Helm, bring us alongside her. We'll prepare a boarding action.
01:04:52Bring us alongside.
01:04:54Aye, sir.
01:04:56Closing at 10 feet per second. Coming about.
01:05:06Guns at the ready.
01:05:08Closing at 10 feet per second. Coming about.
01:05:14Guns at the ready.
01:05:18Contact 1000 yards in closing. Devil's distance, Captain.
01:05:30If they were going to give us any trouble, we would have done it by now.
01:05:34Does anybody see any white paint?
01:05:38Maybe they... repainted?
01:05:46Let's get a close-up of the bow.
01:05:50That's not recent.
01:05:52That's old damage.
01:05:54What's it say?
01:05:56Volterine?
01:05:58That's not right.
01:06:00This isn't right.
01:06:02Go white again.
01:06:04Chief!
01:06:16Lost the input signal, sir. Recycling it again.
01:06:18Whoa.
01:06:20Hey. Hello?
01:06:22Aw, Chief.
01:06:24What's going on?
01:06:26Sir?
01:06:27Chief, what's going on?
01:06:28Guidance Thruster's not responding.
01:06:30What?
01:06:31I have no control.
01:06:32I have no control!
01:06:33Hehehehhehehe.
01:06:36Hehehehaha.
01:06:39Hehehehaha.
01:06:40Hehehehaha.
01:06:41Hehehehaha.
01:06:46Hehehehaha.
01:06:48What?
01:06:49Nothing's... working.
01:06:50Nothing's working!
01:06:51Did they infiltrate us?
01:06:52They can't have.
01:06:53There was no signal.
01:06:54No transmission.
01:06:55The junkers are all reporting.
01:06:57Their controls will respond.
01:06:58Heheheheh.
01:07:02At least that was incorrect.
01:07:06Boyce, you have to clean them out.
01:07:08I don't- I'm trying, Captain.
01:07:10Not good enough to make it happen.
01:07:12I can't!
01:07:13You have to-
01:07:14Marcus!
01:07:15Marcus!
01:07:21All legs is a headbutt! A headbutt!
01:07:23I have no control!
01:07:25Gary?
01:07:27Do it!
01:07:32We're rolling to port!
01:07:44Fire control's back on mine!
01:07:46Shock must have tripped something!
01:07:48I'll have flight!
01:07:49Helm still isn't answering, sir!
01:07:51Tiger twin mount out of action!
01:07:53Quad mount, also out of action!
01:07:55Tiger one!
01:07:56You've not responded, sir!
01:07:57Target sent me damage!
01:07:58If I were with any working gun that we have, pass me through the crew of Tiger one!
01:08:01Hey, catch him in!
01:08:02Cobra and Hydra two rotate zero nine zero relative and bottom out!
01:08:05We'll hit her as we come around!
01:08:06Ah!
01:08:07Gary!
01:08:08I'm gonna get the crew of Hydra one to make a manual shot!
01:08:10Aye, Captain!
01:08:11Hydra two and Cobra, target the damage section on her star as we come around!
01:08:14Royce, can we do anything about our targeting system?
01:08:16I can't get any readings!
01:08:17It's like there's nothing there to smoke!
01:08:19Hit the button again!
01:08:20Now!
01:08:21Now!
01:08:22Ay, you two coming around?
01:08:35Firing!
01:08:36We missed!
01:08:37Cobra, you're up!
01:08:38Yes, sir!
01:08:39Royce, hold that button down!
01:08:40We missed!
01:08:42Culver, you're up!
01:08:44Yes, sir.
01:08:45Voice, hold that button down!
01:08:47Hold it down, I said!
01:08:50I don't want to turn to fire!
01:09:03Sir, I've got burnouts all across the board!
01:09:06Somebody's driving too much power!
01:09:08You're still right! Reactions to 150!
01:09:10Call to start it! Now!
01:09:14Steady now.
01:09:16We got this.
01:09:32Fire, carry me a hole right through her!
01:09:34Clear!
01:09:38High to one!
01:09:40Fire!
01:09:46Whoa!
01:09:48Whoa!
01:09:50And we've done it again!
01:10:00Cut it off!
01:10:02Cut it off!
01:10:12And we've done it again!
01:10:14Cut it off!
01:10:16Yeah!
01:10:18What?
01:10:20I'm gonna do it again!
01:10:22I'm gonna do it again!
01:10:24We've done it again!
01:10:26Reactor status.
01:10:33Reactors are holding stable.
01:10:35We're alright.
01:10:37We're okay.
01:10:38Alive at any rate.
01:10:40Check for damage.
01:10:41Hi, sir.
01:10:44Looks like the fat lady called it a day.
01:10:48Sure talk, status.
01:10:49Are you alright, Captain?
01:10:57Can you receive a damage report?
01:11:00Kill the alarm.
01:11:02All compartments, report damage to LSO.
01:11:09We shouldn't have been able to survive that.
01:11:11No, we shouldn't.
01:11:13It was Royce on the MFC.
01:11:16Without the testudo, we'd have had hull breaches with the first hits.
01:11:19His presence of mind just saved all our lives.
01:11:25And without his quick thinking, we'd all be finished.
01:11:32The pressure doors are still open.
01:11:40I need to see how much of my ship is still working.
01:11:49I need to see how much of my ship is still going.
01:11:55I don't know about the air from a nice student.
01:11:57I need to see how much of the hope is still contributing.
01:12:00Not in awe.
01:12:01I need to see how much of our ship is still working.
01:12:03I need to see how much of our ship is still working.
01:12:05I need it to see how much of each Bruno's vortex winds are still working.
01:12:08I need to see how much of our ship is still working to move.
01:12:09This fell in.
01:12:11I was there, Jack!
01:12:11This fell in his pandemic just as owned by hebeton.
01:12:13min of relief.
01:12:14Hold breach. Hold breach. Hold breach.
01:12:22Releasing sealing cages.
01:12:28Hold breach. Ceiling pressure.
01:12:33What is going on? What is happening to my ship?
01:12:36We've reached Dafton Engineering. They've been sealed off.
01:12:39We'll ventilate them. They need air.
01:12:41Captain, the back pressure will bleed the entire system. We'll all be pressurized.
01:12:44Use O2 tank 3. Dump the entire thing into the chamber wholesale. Come on!
01:12:58Tell us! Breach will be sealed in a moment!
01:13:02I need you to-
01:13:10Fire in engineering!
01:13:13Belay oxygen. Release CO2.
01:13:20It's not releasing.
01:13:21Fire in engineering.
01:13:23Fear out.
01:13:26We'll break.
01:13:28groaring.
01:13:28We'll break you.
01:13:30Salash!
01:13:32I need you to get all the CO2!
01:13:47Let it go!
01:13:49Is there anything else that we can do?
01:13:57Nothing.
01:13:59If they can't get that fire out.
01:14:19No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:14:24The actor is trapped.
01:14:26The actor is trapped.
01:14:32The actor is trapped.
01:14:33No, it doesn't matter.
01:14:49No, no, no, no, no.
01:15:11We're on auxiliary power.
01:15:18I think the fire's out, Captain.
01:15:20Release the oxygen.
01:15:33Phil, you all right?
01:15:35Come on, you all right?
01:15:38Come on, it's all right.
01:15:41Come on, come on, come on!
01:15:43No, no, no!
01:15:45Let me go!
01:15:46Let me go!
01:15:47Let me go!
01:15:48There's nothing to do. Come on, man!
01:15:49Let me go!
01:15:50There's nothing to do.
01:15:51Get out of here.
01:15:53No.
01:15:56Yeah, but it's all right.
01:15:59Easy.
01:16:01Easy.
01:16:03Easy.
01:16:08Easy.
01:16:16Well, the hull breach is temporarily patched.
01:16:31But we need a dry dock before we can reasonably go into combat again.
01:16:34And all five railgun mounts are non-responsive since that last hit.
01:16:40Those early fuel tanks are destroyed, and that's what started the fire.
01:16:45We're running limited capacity on battery backup, which...
01:16:49Won't give us enough power to maneuver.
01:16:51Move on.
01:16:53Eleven men are dead, fifteen wounded, and only three of the Indian crew survived.
01:16:57All the computers crashed and they switched over to battery, and some of the systems rebooted, but others are just gone.
01:17:03The good news is, whatever got into our thruster control seems to have been flushed down by the system crash.
01:17:15Okay.
01:17:18Tell me the bad part.
01:17:20Well, the SSD has taken significant damage, and Tamai is obviously not up to repairing or operating it.
01:17:27And no one else on board has his knowledge or experience.
01:17:30We can't go home.
01:17:36This is a disaster.
01:17:37Marcus.
01:17:38It wasn't even the right ship.
01:17:39You should be proud of your crew, sir.
01:17:42Whoever the Vulturean was, she would have preyed on others, possibly allies.
01:17:46We lost some good men, but that happens in this profession.
01:17:50Sir.
01:17:53You should be proud of them all.
01:17:54I suppose we've done our part in this search.
01:18:08Reactor is critical.
01:18:10Reactor is critical.
01:18:12All engines ready to begin at it maneuvered.
01:18:16There's the real good news.
01:18:18The reactor was somehow undamaged, and it looks like our surviving crew members were able to get it up and running.
01:18:23You take the comm?
01:18:34Give me five minutes.
01:18:36How about you, Tom?
01:18:46Are you holding up?
01:18:48Oh, yes.
01:18:49I'm just fine.
01:18:52You're right.
01:18:53This is a disaster.
01:18:55It's my disaster.
01:18:56Oh, knock it off!
01:18:57I just thought that you should make a real decision for once.
01:19:00And I did.
01:19:02And I have to live with it.
01:19:03And you don't.
01:19:11Pull yourself together and have a drink.
01:19:13How about the navigation systems?
01:19:35Wait.
01:19:36Oh.
01:19:38Completely dead.
01:19:39I can still do manual plots.
01:19:43I'll get us in the port.
01:19:45You'll have to get us home after that.
01:19:46You want me to calculate a transition by hand?
01:19:54Proper help is unlikely to present itself in the stainless sheets.
01:19:57Equipment to repair the drive?
01:19:59Maybe.
01:19:59But personnel?
01:20:00I think not.
01:20:01But I barely even scraped those classes.
01:20:04And without Dennis here to run the drive, if we can even get it fixed...
01:20:07It's fixed!
01:20:07And you better break out the displacement manual.
01:20:09Work with Gary on this.
01:20:12We're going to need a second just in case something happens to you.
01:20:14Oh, my God.
01:20:15Not Gary.
01:20:16Kai.
01:20:16Gary will be busy unsticking the guns.
01:20:22It'll be at least two weeks until we reach the Fel.
01:20:25Just long enough to get used to the idea of becoming an Arkwright.
01:20:28Marcus.
01:20:29Don't call me Marcus.
01:20:31Get on it right away.
01:20:58You're orders, Captain.
01:21:13Help.
01:21:15Come to course 185 by 046.
01:21:20Roll angle 31 degrees.
01:21:23Best safe speed to St. Nashit.
01:21:26Aye, sir.
01:21:27Course 185 by 046.
01:21:32Roll angle 31 degrees.
01:21:35Thrusting ahead.
01:21:57Avgano 31 degrees.
01:22:03Off.
01:22:06All right.
01:22:07Talk-to you next week.
01:22:08No,any'an.
01:22:09What?
01:22:09Me?
01:22:10Yes, please.
01:22:10Just when you come.
01:22:11A middle of theящ идеologist.
01:22:13All right.
01:22:16I wish to run through this old book.
01:22:19Yeah.
01:22:20Oh, yes.
01:22:21How does it?
