00:00:00Beyond the trauma of human failure lies the stillness of cosmic wisdom.
00:00:11When people with poor wisdom tread among sleeping tigers, they shall meet with disaster.
00:00:22I have thrown the three coins six times.
00:00:26I have read the upper and lower trigons.
00:00:31This reading is for those who come after us, who survive us.
00:00:56The End
00:03:02Yes.
00:03:03You have to be ready.
00:03:04Raven?
00:03:05A one-eyed man is able to see.
00:03:09A lame man is able to tread.
00:03:12But he treads on the tail of a tiger.
00:03:15The tiger bites the man.
00:03:18And thus is the reading of the Book of Changes.
00:03:22Maybe it's time to clock out.
00:03:25You're too close to the planet, Condor.
00:03:28I need to see Frosty.
00:03:30Maybe it's time to clock out.
00:03:38You're too close to the planet, Condor.
00:03:40I need to see Frosty.
00:03:41I need to say Frosty.
00:03:42Aye, aye.
00:03:48End of the rainbow.
00:03:51Dead ahead, Captain.
00:03:52Just fly in a straight line, okay?
00:03:54Will you just think about it?
00:04:06I guess I'm just an old-fashioned girl, Condor.
00:04:09I just think a marriage is between two men and two women.
00:04:16You sound like my grandmas.
00:04:19Raven wasn't just the captain.
00:04:21She was a great first wife.
00:04:23And I don't think we're ready for another captain or a new wife.
00:04:27Besides, you were brought on as a crewman, not a third husband.
00:04:31Why not both?
00:04:33We are nearing Caliban.
00:04:35Orbit in retrograde.
00:04:37Terraforming is a three of five.
00:04:40Sounds good, Lake.
00:04:42What about the robot?
00:04:45Does that thing even have a pleasure circuit?
00:04:48Depends on what you call pleasure.
00:04:50Crew member Condor, is that a question?
00:04:53Uh, no.
00:04:55I'd rather not know.
00:05:20We're the only one in the rear.
00:05:22What's up?
00:05:23The Slayer Chief is wounded.
00:05:35Link, do you have a reading on that?
00:05:37Fluxy.

00:05:50was that a passing meteor or something acting captain it was from the surface of calipan
00:06:03somebody messing with us down there there are no human life forms registered on calipan
00:06:10it is currently operated by machine systems registered down there and being down there
00:06:16are two different things is that a question acting captain babylon pirates i don't know if there are
00:06:23pirates out this far but there are 27 moons out here hard to tell what this is this is the mining
00:06:29ship robber indiana from the port of elysium mons and flying a martian flag calling moon caliban again
00:06:36this is the robber indiana under martian flags we have a license to repair and maintain the
00:06:41mining equipment under authorization from the pangea supergov babylon it's kid i've got bad news i don't
00:06:49need it but go ahead we got power dropping in the engine since that blast what did we get hit with
00:06:55unknown all link can tell us is what it couldn't have been yeah droids are funny that way what does
00:07:01your gut tell you babs i don't think it was passing space debris it's from the surface roger that
00:07:11did you hit your head i i don't think so are you okay do you feel it what under your ribs
00:07:29you're falling we're falling toward caliban kid are you there here babs but the engines are gone
00:07:47get ready to tuck and roll good advice kid
00:07:59have you checked on her husband oh no he was supposed to be checking on the mining drones
00:08:07chappy are you there chappy i'm good babble on just took a tumble you're about to take another one
00:08:16everyone hang on
00:08:17collision eminent collision eminent collision eminent chance of survival of human crew shut up link hang on
00:08:47to the
00:08:52the
00:08:53the
00:08:53the
00:08:54you have to be ready
00:09:20you have to be ready
00:09:24listen to him Babylon
00:09:30come back to us
00:09:35when people with poor wisdom tread among sleeping tigers
00:09:43they shall meet with disaster
00:09:47listen to him
00:09:54listen to him
00:10:02listen to him
00:10:08condor
00:10:23condor
00:10:30kid
00:10:34kid are you there
00:10:38chaffee
00:10:40is anyone there
00:10:42link
00:10:45babs
00:10:47we're all going to die
00:10:49babs
00:10:57hey hey hey you're alright
00:10:59you're alright
00:11:00everyone's alright
00:11:01I thought I saw
00:11:02we crash landed but everyone's alright
00:11:06are you alright
00:11:08never mind that
00:11:09link status update
00:11:11Caliban had its origins in the Edgeworth bell
00:11:14moved by a gas drag in the protoplanetary disk
00:11:18and before terraforming was composed of methane ammonia
00:11:22something freakin useful link
00:11:25acting captain Babylon
00:11:27we have crash landed
00:11:29ain't robots great
00:11:31there is a nearby station
00:11:33designated A119
00:11:35it could be the location of the attack
00:11:38or
00:11:39it could be a source for assistance
00:11:41I thought this planet had only been populated by machines
00:11:54crew member condor
00:11:56is that a question
00:12:02everyone okay
00:12:03husband
00:12:04this is all very sweet but I'm trying not to die
00:12:08so if we could figure that out
00:12:11Caliban has gotten to level 3 terraforming
00:12:14so
00:12:15plenty of air but the scenery ain't great
00:12:17link said there was a base built here
00:12:19I'm assuming it was dropped from orbit by the last mining mission
00:12:23but
00:12:24it could be habitable
00:12:25so what we walked to this base this A119
00:12:29what base
00:12:31I thought the last mission here was automated
00:12:33might have been left for a later mining expedition
00:12:36and if that's where the attack came from
00:12:39kid
00:12:40can we fix the ship with what's here
00:12:43fix?
00:12:44maybe
00:12:45fly back to the space lanes
00:12:48and this base link detected
00:12:49is it safe?
00:12:5150-50?
00:12:5250-50
00:12:53I'd say more like 25-75
00:12:55but hey I ain't the acting captain so
00:12:58link?
00:12:59is there a question?
00:13:01man I've had pocket calculators more useful than you
00:13:04let's figure out a plan of action
00:13:11what are you doing?
00:13:12I'm starting new mining drones while we're gone
00:13:14if we get back with a hole full of dysprosium
00:13:16we'll all be able to retire and clone a bunch of kids
00:13:22I need to ask you about something strange that happened
00:13:25go on
00:13:26we were hit with something
00:13:29some sort of blast
00:13:30but
00:13:31whatever it was
00:13:32gave me a hell of a migraine
00:13:34did you hit your head?
00:13:36no
00:13:37people need to stop asking me that
00:13:38I don't think so
00:13:40but
00:13:41even if I did
00:13:42that's not the weird part
00:13:44I've been having
00:13:45visions
00:13:47visions of what?
00:13:49cloaked figures
00:13:51masked figures
00:13:53and
00:13:54link
00:13:56link
00:13:57what?
00:14:00acting captain
00:14:01are you alright to serve?
00:14:03stop calling me that
00:14:04Raven was the captain
00:14:06but you're the one who has to get us through this Babs
00:14:10I'm just asking chief engineer
00:14:12is it possible that we were hit with a psychic blast?
00:14:15that's like saying a magic wand can fly the ship
00:14:18there is no psychic ability that we know of
00:14:20of that magnitude
00:14:21no human psychic power
00:14:24this mining operation is automated by robotics Babs
00:14:29those were the mission specs
00:14:31I guess you've always trusted the Pangea Supergov more than I do
00:14:35I don't think we ever got a straight answer on what made Raven sick after that last repair run
00:14:40the Supergov doctor said she had a predetermined genetic inclination
00:14:44it had nothing to do with whatever we ran into on Triton
00:14:47genetic inclination is a funny way of saying it wasn't their fault
00:14:52you're jumping at shadows
00:14:54am I?
00:14:58so this dysprosium stuff's a real deal huh?
00:15:01well if you mean dysprosium can be used as an energy source for all types of engines
00:15:06yeah
00:15:07I wouldn't know about that
00:15:08I'm just a space jockey
00:15:09you're the rob guy
00:15:11all I know is
00:15:12this chick back at Tyco City had some crushed up dysprosium
00:15:16wanted me to snort it with her the night before we shipped out
00:15:19I mean isn't the brain just a wet machine?
00:15:22I didn't do it I told her you know I don't
00:15:24snort crushed rocks up my nose baby but
00:15:27I wouldn't know anything about that
00:15:29either way that's a lot of money
00:15:32seems odd that Pangea would pick a small group like us to do the mining
00:15:36it's a long way from home and
00:15:39and there's a lot of bad stories about this place
00:15:42bad stories?
00:15:46listen we did a lot of space runs before you joined up Condor
00:15:49we lost our wife on a repair run to Triton
00:15:53and there were a lot of engineers that said we shouldn't go there either
00:15:56who told you not to go there?
00:16:01we're not finished on that one
00:16:04everybody ready?
00:16:06do we got a choice?
00:16:26huh?
00:16:27how are you...
00:16:42the room?
00:16:44no
00:16:45Transforming has preceded by robotics for 20 Martian years.
00:17:08Oxygen levels are acceptable.
00:17:11It ain't exactly the pleasure domes of Vegas, is it?
00:17:14We're miners, not pioneers.
00:17:16Well, we don't want to end up pioneers, let's say that.
00:17:26The mining drones are on the move.
00:17:28By the time we get the parts for the ship, we should be well on our way for a full-obey dysprosium.
00:17:33Let's do the same.
00:17:44Wait, hold up a second.
00:18:05What is it?
00:18:07Looks like trails.
00:18:08I don't see any tracks.
00:18:11Not any machine tracks.
00:18:20It's an animal.
00:18:23Before the terraformers landed here 20 years ago, there wasn't any oxygen.
00:18:28That's saying it needed oxygen to survive.
00:18:31Link?
00:18:32Is there a question, crew member, kid?
00:18:36Are there any other bases in that direction?
00:18:40The only registered base is A-119.
00:18:45And it's the direction we were already going?
00:18:49That is affirmative.
00:18:50What's your point, kid?
00:18:53I know geography, and I can read surroundings, and no machine made this.
00:18:58Calm down.
00:18:59I hate to see daddy's and mommy fight.
00:19:02Curiouser and curiouser.
00:19:04We need to check this out.
00:19:05That's what guns are for.
00:19:06Let's go.
00:19:07We need to check this out.
00:19:37We need to check this out.
00:20:07We need to check this out.
00:20:37So we're not the first humans on Caliban.
00:20:51The mission launched 20 Earth years ago on the ship Sacred Unset.
00:20:56The mission was to set up automation to begin mining Dysprosium.
00:21:02I've flown the space waves for a long time.
00:21:05Moon to Moon, and I've never heard of a Cigrid Unset.
00:21:11Link, was the Cigrid Unset automated or was it under human power?
00:21:16That information is not available from the Pangea Supergoth.
00:21:21Do you have an answer already or what?
00:21:27Link, was this station, A-119, intended to be a workstation for human miners?
00:21:35That information is not available from the Pangea Supergoth.
00:21:39Are you finally ready to slide this robot?
00:21:41So that's why there weren't any bids on this place.
00:21:44I mean, I'd heard rumors in the spaceway, but there are always rumors in the spaceway.
00:21:49Funny how much of that comes true.
00:21:51I know I've seen this stuff before.
00:21:55So the Cigrid Unset didn't drop all the equipment and drones from orbit.
00:22:00Somebody came down here and started it all up.
00:22:03This is what they use to run the old mining drones, all right?
00:22:07Kieva, how does someone die holding one?
00:22:10Maybe this person had an accident or an injury.
00:22:13No space burial?
00:22:15I don't know a single space jockey that someone would leave Derpside.
00:22:22Well, damn.
00:22:25Great.
00:22:26Well, I'm guessing he just killed himself.
00:22:29Seriously?
00:22:30Try turning it off and turning it back on.
00:22:33I hate it when the tech guys say that.
00:22:35Someone took down our ship?
00:22:45It's coming from the ground, not the sky.
00:22:47Run!
00:22:53Run!
00:22:55Chaffy, no!
00:22:59Toast that bastard!
00:23:05Acting Captain, we gotta go!
00:23:21Leave it!
00:23:22We might need it!
00:23:23I am operative, Acting Captain Babylon.
00:23:35What was that thing?
00:23:54Whatever it was, a snake, a worm.
00:23:56It was the mining equipment that drew it out.
00:23:59How?
00:24:00It must have been attracted to the sound.
00:24:02I didn't see any eyes on that thing, did you?
00:24:05I only saw teeth.
00:24:07Then it must have been sonar.
00:24:09What, you're a zoologist now?
00:24:11I'm being logical, Condor.
00:24:14Try it sometime.
00:24:15I got this foreign instinct, your head.
00:24:17Will both of you shut up?
00:24:19Link, were there any indigenous creatures on Caliban?
00:24:23It was not reported to the Pangea Supercove.
00:24:28So the whole crew died before they got to send a report?
00:24:32It's been that way since the beginning.
00:24:35Looking that way.
00:24:37And now the government waits 20 years to send another crew.
00:24:41Until it's all just a bunch of spaceways rumors.
00:24:44It doesn't matter.
00:24:45We lost a husband.
00:24:47It's just the two of us now, don't you see?
00:24:50It doesn't have to be that way.
00:24:53Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:24:54Easy, easy.
00:24:55We can mourn our husband soon.
00:24:59But right now, we got to get to that base, get to ground, and figure out what that was out here.
00:25:05Link, are we still on track for A-119?
00:25:11Negative.
00:25:11Crew member can.
00:25:13Can we get back on track?
00:25:17Affirmative.
00:25:17Crew member can.
00:25:18Crew member can.
00:25:48Crew member can.
00:26:18Do not try to leave Caliban.
00:26:22We can all be together once more.
00:26:26We must embrace the world that we are making together.
00:26:42This is Oracle.
00:26:46The official holder of the Book of Changes for the Caliban mission.
00:26:52I have thrown the three coins six times.
00:26:56I have read the upper and lower trigrams.
00:27:00This reading is for those who come after us.
00:27:04Who survive us.
00:27:16I love it.
00:27:26I love it.
00:27:30I love it.
00:27:32I love it.
00:27:34I love it.
00:27:36I love it.
00:27:38I love it.
00:27:40I love it.
00:27:42I love it.
00:27:44I love it.
00:27:46I love it.
00:27:48Where did that come from?
00:27:50I love it.
00:27:52It's that damn android!
00:27:55Link, status report!
00:27:58This unit seems to have sustained damage in the indigenous field in return.
00:28:05He better shut that switch off before I null him down and do a dinner plate.
00:28:10Like I said, he might need this android. Link, shut off external sounds!
00:28:15That would include my four parameters acting Captain Babylon.
00:28:20Finally! Some good news!
00:28:23So we're still on track for the base.
00:28:26Recalculating.
00:28:28Recalculating! Damn, so this thing broke its GPS!
00:28:35Damn it!
00:28:46Damn it!
00:28:47Burn it out!
00:28:49You think we got it?
00:28:50Its ass wasn't totally on fire so...
00:29:04You think we got it?
00:29:16Its ass wasn't totally on fire, so I don't think we got it.
00:29:20We better use our inside voices.
00:29:22Do you have a new lock on A119?
00:29:27Are you really going to trust his ass?
00:29:30It's the only way.
00:29:34It's the only way.
00:30:04All right, so if this damn thing is finally broken, Dibzon using its head as a salad ball.
00:30:27Link, turn your voice back on.
00:30:29Stats report quietly.
00:30:31Hey, we have arrived at location A119.
00:30:38Damn it, so this thing is broken.
00:30:40We're screwed.
00:30:41Oh, no.
00:30:42I mean, what, it's just gone?
00:30:45If it was a module dropped from a ship, it could have gotten moved somewhere.
00:30:49Was that a question?
00:30:51Damn it, Link, yes.
00:30:52Consider that a question.
00:30:53A119 was not dropped from the atmosphere.
00:30:57It was built.
00:30:59Okay, so if it was built by humans or even bots, there had to be a foundation somewhere.
00:31:07Damn!
00:31:08There's a hatch over there.
00:31:15Help me move it.
00:31:16Uh, it could be anything down there.
00:31:18Probably more skeletons.
00:31:20Ain't the dead I'm worried about.
00:31:22There's a hatch over there.
00:31:52So, let's go.
00:32:22There we go.
00:32:52There we go.
00:33:22Just more junk.
00:33:29Wait, I feel like there might be some answers here somewhere.
00:33:32If you can make something out of this crap, you're a better engineer than I am.
00:33:35That's not saying much.
00:33:36You're a better engineer than I am.
00:34:06Come on, sweetheart.
00:34:11This is Oracle, the official holder of the Book of Changes for the Calabon Mission.
00:34:38I have thrown the three coins six times.
00:34:46I have read the upper and lower trigrams.
00:34:51This reading is for those who come after us, who survive us.
00:34:59Who survive us?
00:35:01I wonder if the Oracle thought it would be 20 years later.
00:35:04The ship had an Oracle?
00:35:0520 years ago, bigger crews often had a member who could read the I Ching.
00:35:11The old captain swore by it.
00:35:13I mean, I knew it happened.
00:35:14I just never crewed a ship with an Oracle.
00:35:18All right, you two figure this out.
00:35:20I'm an old space jockey.
00:35:21I don't like being down here with nobody watching my six.
00:35:23I don't want to be down in a hole with nobody watching the only way in.
00:35:29You do that then.
00:35:31When I served in the Leonardo Padora, we had an Oracle.
00:35:41I didn't know that ship had an Oracle.
00:35:43What was that like?
00:35:44She was never wrong, if that's what you're asking.
00:35:46Hidden dragon, dragon appearing in a field, dragons fight in the meadow, their blood is black and yellow, horse and wagon parked, bloody tears blow, waiting in the mud brings about the arrival of the enemy, waiting in blood.
00:36:14Get out of the pit!
00:36:44Get out of the pit!
00:37:12Get out of the pit!
00:37:14Get out of the pit!
00:37:34After we get home, I'm taking a milk run to Venus.
00:37:36Screw this ship.
00:37:42Those Oracle's will mess with your mind.
00:37:47I'll dick around with that I-Ching ship.
00:37:55Now that's more like it.
00:37:57It's one thing to shoot a giant worm with teeth.
00:38:00It's another to shoot a guy at a mask with a bathroom.
00:38:02All right, buddy, I gave you a chance.
00:38:08Not much of one, but...
00:38:09J suggestion.
00:38:10I don't mind.
00:38:11I don't mind...
00:38:13What?!
00:38:14I don't mind.
00:38:15It adds all to a before...
00:38:17¶¶
00:38:18I don't mind.
00:38:19Yeah, you're the only one out...
00:38:21Oh my god!
00:38:22FROM Sociedad
00:38:22This week's haul is Space!
00:38:26Alright, folks.
00:38:27Let's go to the hospital!
00:38:28Let's go.
00:38:30We're called the toilet!
00:38:31uniform.
00:38:32We're called
00:38:33The toilet!
00:38:34We're called the toilet!
00:39:35But he treads on the tail of a tiger.
00:39:39The tiger bites the man.
00:39:42And thus is the reading of the Book of Changes.
00:39:50Well?
00:39:51Keep both eyes open for a start.
00:39:53Let's check it out.
00:40:09Hey, there's something up here.
00:40:20Let's check it out.
00:40:21Jackpot.
00:40:35Looks like 20-year-old junk.
00:40:37Well, I wouldn't call it 20-year-old junk, but it's 20-year-old something.
00:40:40But will it work?
00:40:42It's worth a try.
00:40:44Well, that's all we got, kid.
00:40:46Then I guess it has to work.
00:40:47A one-eyed man is able to see.
00:40:56A lame man is able to tread.
00:40:59But he treads on the tail of a tiger.
00:41:02The tiger bites the man.
00:41:04And thus is the reading of the Book of Changes.
00:41:10My husband.
00:41:11My wife.
00:41:13Don't fight the inhabitants.
00:41:16Don't try to leave Caliban.
00:41:18We can all be together once more.
00:41:30Keep.
00:41:32Chuck.
00:41:33Keep.
00:41:35Chuck.
00:41:36Ooh.
00:41:37This, little buddy, is our ticket back to the Spaceways.
00:41:45Good.
00:41:45I was hoping this wasn't a one-way trip.
00:41:48It can't be.
00:42:06Turn it off, kid.
00:42:15Run!
00:42:16Run!
00:42:16Run!
00:42:18Run!
00:42:19No!
00:42:20Ah!
00:42:31Let's go, Link!
00:42:32Activating protocol nine.
00:42:35Link!
00:42:36Activating protocol nine.
00:42:38Protocol nine activated.
00:42:40Link?
00:43:05It's gone.
00:43:07Protocol nine activated.
00:43:09Link?
00:43:10Link?
00:43:11No.
00:43:22Babylon!
00:43:26Babs, it's me.
00:43:29Babs, it's Kid.
00:43:31Kid?
00:43:32Kid?
00:43:33How?
00:43:34Before we left Mars, I uploaded a copy of my brainwaves into a personality circuit in Link.
00:43:48Then, I slaved that circuit into my biorhythm monitor so it would only kick in if I died.
00:43:54I did the upload before we left Mars.
00:43:55I did the upload before we left Mars, so I don't know what's happened since then.
00:44:09Are we on Caliban?
00:44:11We're in the base built by the first mission.
00:44:12We're in the base built by the first mission.
00:44:16And the rest of the crew?
00:44:18Condor is watching the back door to this place.
00:44:22Chaffee was killed by the same creatures that killed you.
00:44:27Creatures?
00:44:28Some kind of giant worm.
00:44:30Seems like a crappy way to die on a space mission.
00:44:34Well, these worms have teeth, if that helps.
00:44:38I guess it does.
00:44:40So we lost Chaffee and Raven this year?
00:44:44Four have become two.
00:44:47Maybe a little less than two.
00:44:49Let's not think like that right now.
00:44:53You're here in some way.
00:44:55You're still Kid in some way.
00:44:58You are right.
00:44:59Of course you're right.
00:45:01Right now, we need to get back to the ship.
00:45:04One good thing is that I'm also connected to our ship.
00:45:07It needs repairs.
00:45:10But I can see the schematics so clearly even from here.
00:45:14I think I can fix it.
00:45:16That's good.
00:45:18Because the parts you were needing from here went down that creature's mouth.
00:45:22Along with me.
00:45:24The flesh me.
00:45:25Kid.
00:45:26No, you're right.
00:45:28This is actually better.
00:45:30The mathematics of the universe are so clear to me now.
00:45:33I should have downloaded my personality into an android long ago.
00:45:38You said Condor was watching this entrance?
00:46:07Yeah.
00:46:08Maybe he headed back to the ship.
00:46:11Why would he go without us?
00:46:13I don't know.
00:46:14We'll just ask him when we find him.
00:46:22That isn't a good sign, Babs.
00:46:24He wouldn't have dropped that on purpose.
00:46:26Then we need to catch up to him sooner than later.
00:46:29Let's go, Kid.
00:46:30I'm in touch.
00:46:31With the ship.
00:46:32We're not far away.
00:46:33She's eager to be reunited with us.
00:46:34Don't forget who you're married to.
00:46:35Don't forget who you're married to.
00:46:36I'm in touch.
00:46:37With the ship.
00:46:38We're not far away.
00:46:39She's eager to be reunited with us.
00:46:40Don't forget who you're married to.
00:46:41No!
00:46:42No!
00:46:43No!
00:46:44No!
00:46:45No!
00:46:46No!
00:46:47No!
00:46:48No!
00:46:49No!
00:46:50No!
00:46:51No!
00:47:16We ran into some creatures and lost two crew members.
00:47:24We are just trying to get back to our ship.
00:47:27We didn't know there were other inhabitants here.
00:47:32Were your people here when the first ship came?
00:47:36The Secret Unset?
00:47:40Did you know the crew from the Secret Unset?
00:47:43Did you know the Oracle from that ship?
00:47:46Do you know what happened to the crew?
00:47:48Are any of them still alive?
00:47:50We are here in peace.
00:47:52We just want to get back to our ship.
00:47:55This is a peaceful mission.
00:47:59If we don't get out of here, it won't be.
00:48:01Come on.
00:48:16We got to go back down below.
00:48:28It's a dead end.
00:48:29You're dead if we stay up here, Babs.
00:48:35It's the only way.
00:48:36We got to try.
00:48:37They quit following us.
00:48:38Whatever they are.
00:48:39We can't stay down here forever.
00:48:40I know that, Babs.
00:48:41But we need to figure out who and what those beings are first.
00:48:57Maybe there are some more files on that data station we came across back there.
00:49:03In this form, I might be able to dig deeper than I could before.
00:49:06Let's give it a shot.
00:49:07Let's give it a shot.
00:49:08Let's give it a shot.
00:49:09Let's give it a shot.
00:49:11Babylon.
00:49:12Kid.
00:49:13Baby.
00:49:14Baby.
00:49:15Kid.
00:49:16Baby.
00:49:17Kid.
00:49:18Kid.
00:49:19Kid.
00:49:20My wife.
00:49:21My husband.
00:49:22That sounds like...
00:49:23Raven?
00:49:24You have to stop fighting.
00:49:31No.
00:49:32I'm waiting for you.
00:49:35That's Raven, but that doesn't compute.
00:49:41Caliban is waiting for you.
00:49:44No.
00:49:45Raven would never tell us to stop fighting.
00:49:47Does not compute.
00:49:50Does not compute.
00:49:54Does not compute.
00:50:20Hold it together kid.
00:50:21I still need you.
00:50:22I will.
00:50:23Anything?
00:50:27This base... is only sleeping.
00:50:50Beyond the trauma of human failure lies the stillness of cosmic wisdom.
00:51:00When people with poor wisdom tread among sleeping tigers, they shall meet with disaster.
00:51:09Can you change a channel on that thing?
00:51:13My husband and my wife.
00:51:16Raven?
00:51:17Raven?
00:51:18Raven?
00:51:19Don't fight the inhabitants.
00:51:23Don't try to leave Caliban.
00:51:26We can all be together again.
00:51:29Kid, that can't be Raven.
00:51:33My logic circuits are not registering.
00:51:36It just can't be.
00:51:38We must all embrace the world that we are making together.
00:51:42Raven?
00:51:43Raven?
00:51:44I can't lose you a second time.
00:51:49You're all that's left.
00:51:51Kid, no!
00:51:52Kid!
00:51:53Kid, no!
00:51:54Kid!
00:51:55Kid, no!
00:51:57Kid, I can't lose you a second time.
00:52:02You're all that's left.
00:52:03I...
00:52:04I can feel the circuits fading.
00:52:07Kid, no!
00:52:10But...
00:52:11It doesn't hurt Babs.
00:52:14It's...
00:52:15It's hurting me!
00:52:16Babylon, let me tell you something.
00:52:20I downloaded my consciousness into Link.
00:52:22But I also downloaded my consciousness into a probe on the ship.
00:52:28It launched when my first body died.
00:52:32It's beyond Pluto now.
00:52:34Beyond Hydra now.
00:52:36It's beyond Styx now.
00:52:38I can't see with me!
00:52:40I'm beyond any place any human mind has ever seen.
00:52:44Perhaps there are other human beings out here beyond human knowledge.
00:52:50I'm going to know them.
00:52:53One day you may know them too.
00:53:00One day you may know them too.
00:53:16But I also downloaded my consciousness into a probe on the ship.
00:53:28It launched when my first body died.
00:53:58I don't know how to kill you or if you can even die.
00:54:00But I have to try, don't I?
00:54:02I don't have anything else left.
00:54:05You're not just the inhabitants of this half-born planet.
00:54:09You're...
00:54:10You're the original crew, aren't you?
00:54:17The worms of the native species.
00:54:19You don't have anything to do with it.
00:54:24What happened to you?
00:54:28What did they do to you, Condor?
00:54:43What did they do to your brain?
00:54:49They did nothing.
00:54:54No!
00:54:55The minerals were mining.
00:54:59The dust.
00:55:01It's in the air.
00:55:03It gets in your brain.
00:55:04It works on your brain.
00:55:06It works on your brain.
00:55:08We're evolving.
00:55:09We're evolving.
00:55:11And it's beautiful.
00:55:11It...
00:55:12It's...
00:55:13It's not you anymore, Condor.
00:55:14It's not human.
00:55:15It's alien.
00:55:16And it's beautiful.
00:55:21It's not you anymore, Condor.
00:55:24It's not human.
00:55:26It's alien.
00:55:28It's not evolution at all.
00:55:30It's better.
00:55:33I'm better than human now.
00:55:36And you will be too.
00:55:38No.
00:55:39You will join us.
00:55:42And when the next mission comes,
00:55:44we will welcome them too.
00:55:54No! There won't be any more missions!
00:55:59There will be a next mission.
00:56:02Even if it is in 20 years.
00:56:06The minerals here are too valuable.
00:56:10When the government knows what these minerals can do...
00:56:12They already know.
00:56:14There will be another mission...
00:56:19And another mission...
00:56:22And we will grow stronger.
00:56:26No!
00:56:30Goodbye!
00:56:32This is not goodbye.
00:56:34You were a good pilot, Condor.
00:56:44Despite the rest of it!
00:56:46Listen to him, Babylon!
00:57:02Come back to us!
00:57:05My husband, my wife...
00:57:09Do not fight the inhabitants...
00:57:14Do not try to leave Caliban.
00:57:17We can all be together once more.
00:57:21We must embrace the world that we are making together.
00:57:25Together.
00:57:26Together.
00:57:27Together.
00:57:29You have to be ready.
00:57:31You have to stop fighting.
00:57:34I'm waiting for you.
00:57:36Caliban is waiting for you.
00:57:40The simulation is open.
00:57:53What?
00:57:54The simulation is open.
00:57:57What? What are you saying?
00:58:00Listen to him, Babylon.
00:58:02Come back to us.
00:58:05Do not fight the inhabitants.
00:58:08Do not try to leave Caliban.
00:58:12We can all be together once in a while.
00:58:16No!
00:58:16We must embrace the world that we are making together.
00:58:38Run!
00:58:40Run!
00:58:42Run!
00:58:44Nooooooooonn!
00:58:54Noooooooooon!
00:58:58This is the mining ship Robert Indiana from the Port of Elysium Lawn,
00:59:08and flying the Martian flag, calling Moon Caliban.
00:59:15Again, this is the proper Indiana under Martian flag, calling the Moon Caliban.
00:59:26We have a license to repair and maintain the mining equipment under authorization from the Pangea Supergov.
00:59:37No!
00:59:48Kid?
00:59:51Acting Captain Babylon.
00:59:55I'm... on Mars?
01:00:07We are in the Training Center at Olympus Mons. You have been in Deep Rem VR. Your orientation to reality should return momentarily.
01:00:22We were supposed to go to Caliban.
01:00:25The Pangea Supergov required your crew to simulate the mission first for viability.
01:00:31Result. The simulation of the mining mission to Caliban is over. The mission would be a failure.
01:00:39A failure?
01:00:41You have returned to reality, Acting Captain Babylon. Are you in operating status?
01:00:48I'm okay. Good thing we ran that simulation. But there were a lot of weird glitches in there.
01:00:56Acting Captain Babylon. Those with strong emotions or strong will can sometimes overwhelm the simulation.
01:01:04It is clear from your simulation that you and your husbands are not ready to return to spaceflight since the death of your first wife and Captain Raven.
01:01:19That's not all of it. There were those weird people on Caliban. What was that about?
01:01:24An extrapolation of scenarios.
01:01:28So there was an original human crew sent to Caliban? Like in the simulation?
01:01:34It can be extrapolated.
01:01:39And what happened to them?
01:01:44That cannot be extrapolated from data supplied by the Pangea Supergov.
01:01:50Well that sounds familiar.
01:01:54Where are Kid and Chaffee?
01:01:57Just finishing their own simulations.
01:02:00I need to see them. We... we need time together.
01:02:06Acting Captain Babylon.
01:02:08A reminder that the simulation will fade from your mind in a short time.
01:02:12The scenario you experienced in the simulation was just that. A simulation.
01:02:19That's good. There's a lot I want to forget.
01:02:23But maybe a few things good to remember.
01:02:31Husbands!
01:02:33How'd you guys do?
01:02:38In my simulation the engines kept honking out and we never even made it to the planet.
01:02:43In my simulation the mining drones hadn't gotten far enough into the terraforming to sustain us.
01:02:48How about you Babs?
01:02:51The planet was... hostile. We didn't make it.
01:02:59Wow. So I guess we all had a total party kill.
01:03:04I survived mine.
01:03:09Well it's a good thing the Supergov gave us these simulations before they gave us the contract.
01:03:14Saved everybody a lot of time.
01:03:17Yeah. Guess we weren't ready for Caliban.
01:03:20I'll tell you what. We'll keep looking for another repair contract.
01:03:23Maybe the other direction? Towards Seoul?
01:03:26I wouldn't mind being warm for a change.
01:03:28Sure. But... where's Condor?
01:03:36Who's Condor?
01:03:39Never mind.
01:03:42Seems like your simulation was a little rough.
01:03:46Mine just had some weird stuff in it. Raven was there.
01:03:52Raven?
01:03:53Yeah. Hey. Don't worry about it. The important thing is that we're all together.
01:04:03What else would we be? After Raven. Now more than ever.
01:04:07Now more than ever.
01:04:12Thank you, Link.
01:04:23Link. Is this... real?
01:04:44Is that a question?
01:04:49No.
01:04:51Acting Captain Babylon. Are you returned to operating status?
01:05:00My husband. My wife.
01:05:03Don't fight the inhabitants.
01:05:06Don't try to leave Caliban.
01:05:09We can all be together once more.
01:05:20My family.
01:05:23You have to go and let her know.
01:05:25My husband.
01:05:26And my husband.
01:05:27You only have to pay more.
01:05:28You have to leave Caliban.
01:05:29The next day.
01:05:32The next day.
01:05:35We'll just find out.
01:05:37We'll be back and forth.
01:05:39We'll be back and forth.
01:05:41We'll be back and forth.
01:05:43We'll be back and forth.
01:05:45We'll be back.
