00:00:00.
00:00:42The stars, over the centuries everything else in the galaxy has changed, keeps changing, but somehow they manage to stay
00:00:50the same.
00:00:53Three hundred years ago, colonists from Earth first brought the advances of their own global republic to the rest of
00:00:58the galaxy.
00:01:00They established colonies and built cities on planets in every system and sector.
00:01:05There's no denying the achievements of the galactic republic in those early days.
00:01:09War, famine, crime, even most diseases became things of the past.
00:01:14But then came the fall.
00:01:16No conquering enemies swept in from outside the galaxy to end it all.
00:01:20No of the worst enemies of the republic turned out to be the citizens of the republic themselves.
00:01:26Ancient factional rivalries buried for centuries flared up hotter than ever.
00:01:30The rule of civilized law was stretched tight and finally broke.
00:01:35The galaxy's dark age had begun.
00:01:50I was born on this planet called Caliban 6 in the Sifian sector in 2391 and lived here with my
00:01:57kid's sister until I was 29.
00:02:00A long time before that, our parents had taken our other brothers and sisters and disappeared.
00:02:04Why? We never really knew.
00:02:07Most likely there were just too many mouths to feed.
00:02:10That's how things were back then.
00:02:13Survival was all that mattered.
00:02:18Look who we got here!
00:02:20Look who we got here!
00:02:25Starlight!
00:02:26Where are you?
00:02:27Come on, hurry up!
00:02:28Let's go!
00:02:29Come on!
00:02:32Get out of there, love you!
00:02:35Come on!
00:02:36Get in there, let's see what we've got here!
00:02:38Come on, hurry up!
00:02:41Tricycletree!
00:02:42Oh, yeah, baby!
00:02:42Oh, yeah!
00:02:46Get back!
00:02:49Get the hypos!
00:02:50We're gonna hypo up first, then we're gonna have some real fun!
00:02:58Oh, yeah!
00:03:00Don't spill it!
00:03:01Oh, be careful, be careful!
00:03:09Hey, get out of here!
00:03:10Give me something!
00:03:11Give me something!
00:03:12Get out of here!
00:03:13Give me something!
00:03:19Keep quiet if you want to get out of this alive.
00:03:27Who...
00:03:28Who are you?
00:03:30Nobody.
00:03:32What's in the vehicle?
00:03:33Drugs.
00:03:34We were taking them to Barton, the city square.
00:03:37They...
00:03:37They killed my husband.
00:03:39He never had a chance.
00:03:41Most people don't.
00:03:43Forget your cargo, they're gonna use it up by morning.
00:03:46Yeah, baby.
00:03:46You better get moving.
00:03:48There's a village.
00:03:49A day is traveling on the other side of these rocks.
00:03:51People are decent enough, they'll take you in.
00:03:53What about my husband?
00:03:55Do you want to join him?
00:03:57Move.
00:03:59Move.
00:04:03I have nothing on me to repay you with.
00:04:05Forget it.
00:04:06In the vehicle, there's a case of cordium.
00:04:08If they haven't smashed it.
00:04:11Move.
00:04:11Move.
00:04:12Move.
00:04:14I rodz...
00:04:20I...
00:04:21learned from all of his hours.
00:04:22In the vehicle.
00:04:25Too many times.
00:04:28Too many times.
00:04:29Too many times.
00:04:30Than his enfermer hat!
00:04:40What's that?
00:04:42Give me it!
00:04:44I can't.
00:04:46Huh?
00:04:47Why?
00:04:49Because I'm not even here.
00:04:50You're hallucinating I'm a bad dream.
00:04:55What?
00:04:56Look, there goes another one.
00:05:16Okay, that's about all the pressure we can put on her without the hole breaching.
00:05:20Did you get enough information, Nova?
00:05:23Nova, hey Nova.
00:05:25Huh?
00:05:26You can breathe now.
00:05:27No, I can't.
00:05:28Um, is the top of my head still attached?
00:05:31Well, you wanted to approximate the g-force pressures in a different atmosphere, right?
00:05:35You've got to teach me how to do that.
00:05:37Oh, slow down.
00:05:39You just started flying a few months ago.
00:05:41So?
00:05:41I can handle it.
00:05:43Come on, I practically built this thing.
00:05:45Building it and flying it are two totally different things, genius.
00:05:49Tell you what.
00:05:50If this last batch of modifications actually gets us off this planet, I'll teach you that move.
00:06:09Hello, Matrix.
00:06:11Hello.
00:06:12Subject, Nova, Thorpe.
00:06:14How are you?
00:06:15So, Matrix said it's model social skills.
00:06:18That question is irrelevant.
00:06:21I'm fine, thanks.
00:06:22Hey.
00:06:23Hey.
00:06:26Are you trying to flatten me?
00:06:28No, just coming to say hi.
00:06:30What have you got?
00:06:32Something's going to keep us fed through the whole winter, that's what.
00:06:34You've got enough food in this container to last 14 months?
00:06:37No genius.
00:06:39But what's in this case is going to get us the food.
00:06:42I hope.
00:06:43That does say quartium, doesn't it?
00:06:44Justin, you know it does.
00:06:46Your eating's not that bad.
00:06:48It's not that good either.
00:06:49You just don't see words like that too often.
00:06:53I'll court him.
00:06:54Where are you going to take it?
00:06:56He knocks Sean in his bunch.
00:06:58Nobody else on his planet has an interstellar ship.
00:07:00He's going to barter plenty for that.
00:07:02What makes you think he won't just, well, take it?
00:07:06Nah.
00:07:07Doesn't mean breaking the barter code.
00:07:09Sean will stick to the rules.
00:07:11He made them up after all.
00:07:22Hey, what's this about?
00:07:25Promise me you'll be okay.
00:07:27Listen, Nova.
00:07:28I'm not going anywhere, because we're family.
00:07:31Our family used to be bigger.
00:07:33Yeah.
00:07:34I can't tell you why they left, but...
00:07:36I'll tell you that I'm not going anywhere.
00:07:38I can't tell you that I'm not going anywhere.
00:07:40Okay?
00:07:42Okay.
00:07:43Now, let's get off this, because you're depressing me.
00:07:45How's your friend Matrix tonight?
00:07:47Not so good.
00:07:50I thought that maybe some of the work Maggie and me did on the transpod
00:07:54might help modify it for interplanetary flight,
00:07:56but the data boards in the Matrix are too outdated.
00:08:00Well, maybe Sean will let me...
00:08:01Error.
00:08:02...take a new set out of the archives.
00:08:04That'd be good.
00:08:06You know, as long as you're going to Sean's anyway...
00:08:09Nova, no.
00:08:11Not the bio-crystal thing.
00:08:12Come on.
00:08:13But you said yourself.
00:08:14You borrowed her a lot for the accordion.
00:08:17Yeah, we're going to get three months more worth of food
00:08:18for the price of a bio-crystal.
00:08:24I just never had a pet, that's all.
00:08:28On the history disc, I saw that almost all the children
00:08:30had them before the Republic fell.
00:08:34People did a lot of things before the Republic fell.
00:08:45Priority's keeping us fed.
00:08:46Maybe someday, down the line.
00:08:53Hey, I'm going to get through another chapter of this.
00:08:55Give me a hand.
00:08:57Let's see.
00:09:03Where are we at?
00:09:07There.
00:09:09This was the...
00:09:11Please...
00:09:13Pleasantest.
00:09:14Pleasantest year of all the life I lead...
00:09:20Led.
00:09:20Led in this place.
00:09:22Friday began to talk pretty well
00:09:27and understand the names of almost everything.
00:09:51Justin, where have you been?
00:09:53And what's that you're carrying?
00:09:55It looks valuable.
00:09:56Yeah, it is, Gita.
00:09:57Wouldn't interest you, though.
00:09:59Anything of value interests me.
00:10:01Don't let that mountain dweller fleece you, Justin.
00:10:04I can give you everything you need for a whole lot less.
00:10:06Like trashy people are all the same.
00:10:08Lower than the worm infested lambs you know.
00:10:10Oh, we're gonna get a black bear in the corner.
00:10:12Look, you can't!
00:10:12It's a white bear in the corner.
00:10:14Let's get on the corner.
00:10:16Let's go!
00:10:17Let's go!
00:10:18Go!
00:10:18Go!
00:10:18Go!
00:10:19Go!
00:10:19Go!
00:10:20Go!
00:10:21Go!
00:10:21Go!
00:10:22Go!
00:10:24Go!
00:10:24Go!
00:10:24Go!
00:10:25Go!
00:10:25Go!
00:10:30Go!
00:10:34Go!
00:10:40Go!
00:10:40Hold still!
00:10:42You almost got him!
00:10:45Jack!
00:10:46You want the soap?
00:10:47Hasn't been a ship and a soap through here in almost a year!
00:10:50Don't know why you'd want the soap anyway!
00:10:52Nobody on Cal Band 5 ever baits!
00:10:55Get up!
00:10:56Get up!
00:10:56Get up!
00:10:58Come on!
00:11:01Fly!
00:11:02Fly!
00:11:02Fly!
00:11:02Fly!
00:11:03Fly!
00:11:05Fly!
00:11:06Amphrodisia!
00:11:08Oh!
00:11:08Go!
00:11:09Go!
00:11:09Go!
00:11:11Go!
00:11:17Go!
00:11:22Go!
00:11:24Go!
00:11:25Go!
00:11:26Go!
00:11:29Go!
00:11:30That's what he owes to the warlord! Come, dog!
00:11:34Damn!
00:11:36Valois, getting your usual enjoyment out of life, I see.
00:11:41I don't hear the buzz of insects like you, Thorpe.
00:11:44No? Well, where's Sean?
00:11:45Because I got a little buzzing to do that might interest him.
00:11:48He left with the Omega system a week ago.
00:11:50We don't know just when he'll be back.
00:11:52So unless your business can wait,
00:11:54I'm afraid you're gonna have to deal with me.
00:11:57You couldn't use a case of Quartium
00:12:00for the Daedalus's hyperoptic drive, could you?
00:12:05Quartium? Interstellar grade?
00:12:08How would I be here if it wasn't?
00:12:14What's your price?
00:12:16Twenty months of rations, twelve ounces of refined platinum,
00:12:19eight Centauri sapphires, all cut,
00:12:21sixty ion bursts for the Republican Service automatic.
00:12:26Absurd.
00:12:28All right.
00:12:29I'll come back later and see if Sean agrees with you.
00:12:31No, wait.
00:12:36Get in the rations from inside.
00:12:40Hey, while you're in there,
00:12:41see if you can find the last edition of technical boards
00:12:43for an Alpha Matrix 19.
00:12:46The what? For the what?
00:12:47It's a synthetic intelligence system.
00:12:51Well, find it, fool.
00:12:52It's got to be in there somewhere.
00:12:57Look!
00:12:58It's a Daedalus!
00:13:01Enoch Sean has returned!
00:13:06I'll be back for the rest of my loot.
00:13:08Can't stand to stay around and watch you lick Sean's boots.
00:13:13Hey, fine!
00:13:22There's gotta be a way around this.
00:13:26Matrix.
00:13:27Matrix.
00:13:27Try it.
00:13:32Body parts!
00:13:34Bio-organism!
00:13:36Hey, you!
00:13:37Sir!
00:13:38Do you have any bio-crystals?
00:13:39Not any, sir.
00:13:41The best.
00:13:42The most beautifully formed harmonious little creatures.
00:13:55One of the maker's true miracles, sir.
00:13:58Living rock.
00:13:59They give you loving companionship and soothing warmth
00:14:02and all they ask is a little water in return.
00:14:05What could you ask from a fellow creature?
00:14:07Would you trade one for 12 ounces of platinum?
00:14:11Refined?
00:14:13Of course, sir.
00:14:17Nova!
00:14:24Nova, you here?
00:14:28You got something you're gonna wanna see?
00:14:45You're gonna wanna see.
00:14:46Matrix, locate subject Novathorpe.
00:14:48Subject...
00:14:48Nova...
00:14:49...is not within...
00:14:50...my...
00:14:51...sensory...
00:14:51...perimeter.
00:14:53Matrix, did subject Novathorpe exit the perimeter with subject Maggie Sorenson?
00:14:57That...
00:14:58...information...
00:14:59...is...
00:14:59...classified.
00:15:01Cla...
00:15:02Who classified it?
00:15:03That...
00:15:04...information...
00:15:05...is...
00:15:05...unavailable.
00:15:06Nova.
00:15:07Patch me through to subject Maggie Sorenson now.
00:15:14Well, well.
00:15:15If it isn't public nuisance number one.
00:15:18Where's Nova?
00:15:19What do you mean?
00:15:20I dropped her off at your place last night.
00:15:22I haven't seen her since.
00:15:23I can't find her.
00:15:25Well, maybe she's out of range of your sensors.
00:15:27Your system is pretty limited.
00:15:30Scout around the remorse, see if you can find her.
00:15:32Justin, where are you going?
00:15:33To the only one who can help me.
00:15:35Justin!
00:15:45Is that our friend Thorpe?
00:15:50Bring him here.
00:15:51Provided he's unarmed.
00:15:58Well.
00:16:00Citizen Thorpe.
00:16:02You've got the devil's own nerve coming back here after the way you gouged Valois today.
00:16:07The deal was fair.
00:16:09Actually, I think Valois just doesn't like you personally.
00:16:13He thinks you're nothing more than a scavenger and a petty thief.
00:16:19He's right, of course.
00:16:21What does that make you, Sean?
00:16:24That makes me warlord of this planet, Thorpe.
00:16:28Be thankful your little schemes have never conflicted with mine or you would have discovered the true meaning of that
00:16:33title.
00:16:36Now then.
00:16:40Valois tells me you took some more research materials from the archives today.
00:16:45I must say I do find all this intellectual ambition quite admirable.
00:16:53Would you care to have a drink?
00:16:55Discuss some philosophical puzzle?
00:16:58Lord knows I can't discuss any such matters with these boys.
00:17:01Valois.
00:17:03Valois.
00:17:05He's a capable man.
00:17:07But sometimes...
00:17:09I wish he had a little bit more of your rustic charm, Justin.
00:17:16Not here to socialize, Sean.
00:17:19No.
00:17:20Of course you're not.
00:17:23No one ever is.
00:17:25We live in a savage age, Citizen Thorpe.
00:17:30All right then.
00:17:35What's your grievance?
00:17:39My sister's missing.
00:17:41Justin.
00:17:42You have a family.
00:17:45Oh, I've suddenly just gone warm all over.
00:17:48Is she attractive?
00:17:50Never a bad idea to have a warlord in the family, you know.
00:17:54My matrix system's coming up blank.
00:17:58I was wondering...
00:17:59You were wondering if we would turn the Daedalus sensors loose on the problem.
00:18:06Well, of course we will.
00:18:07We'll have that little cherub back in no time.
00:18:11Oh.
00:18:12It will cost you those Centauri sapphires, though.
00:18:16I wouldn't ask myself, but whenever I offer services for nothing, Valois becomes positively morbid.
00:18:32No negotiation.
00:18:35You are worried, aren't you?
00:18:39Here's a hologram over.
00:18:43Hi, Justin. How are you?
00:18:45I love you.
00:18:47Why are you making me do this?
00:18:54Make a copy, send it out to all our posts.
00:18:57Contact the ship, find out if anyone's left the planet in the last few hours, and put the sensors to
00:19:01work.
00:19:10I'm afraid I don't have good news.
00:19:14One of my people spotted your sister boarding an interstellar ship with a group of off-worlders.
00:19:18The ship had cloaking capability, which is why we didn't register its presence.
00:19:22Off-worlders? Who are they?
00:19:24Headed toward the Corvus sector before they're recloaked.
00:19:27I'm going after you, Sean. You have to help me.
00:19:28I'm sorry, Thor.
00:19:30I just got word that some rabble on the other side of the planet have decided they no longer want
00:19:33to live under my guidance.
00:19:36It's always the same.
00:19:37I try to provide a little order and security, and this is my thanks.
00:19:42At any rate, I have to take the Daedalus and deal with them.
00:19:46You want my advice?
00:19:50Forget your sister.
00:19:52Forget?
00:19:53Are you crazy?
00:19:55I don't know.
00:19:56Am I?
00:19:58You're living in another time, Justin.
00:20:00Your sister's alive.
00:20:01And according to my informant, she wasn't fighting her captors.
00:20:05Be happy with that much.
00:20:07Besides, your little idea of a happy home and family isn't just foolish, it's dangerous.
00:20:13Sean.
00:20:14Sean!
00:20:15I'm going after her.
00:20:17All right, then. Throw your life away, too.
00:20:19It's a shame, Thor.
00:20:21With a little bit of work, you might have made a warlord yourself.
00:20:26Valois, you'll stay in charge here.
00:20:28Baraka, come.
00:20:43Well? Did you find anything out?
00:20:45Looks bad.
00:20:48She's been kidnapped?
00:20:49Looks like it.
00:20:50Well, who are they? Do they want a ransom?
00:20:53No. Their ship's cloaked. They're headed for the Corvus sector.
00:20:57A whole different sector.
00:21:00Justin, we need help.
00:21:02We?
00:21:03We?
00:21:05Well, you're not keeping me out of this.
00:21:07You can't handle it alone. You know you can't.
00:21:09Yeah? You think you can help?
00:21:13Well, maybe not me, exactly.
00:21:24Hello, Justin.
00:21:30Well, you never would have agreed if I'd asked to bring him.
00:21:34Look, General Sorensen, you're not really a general of anything anymore, so what are you doing here?
00:21:40Your sister's in trouble, isn't she? I honestly want her help.
00:21:45Well, you and your kind have been helping out, so thanks.
00:21:48Meaning?
00:21:49Meaning that if all you heroes hadn't let the Republic fall in the first place, we wouldn't have to live
00:21:54like this.
00:21:55I don't intend to argue history with a common outlaw.
00:21:59Oh, an outlaw. An outlaw! How can I be an outlaw when you didn't leave us any law?
00:22:03As I just said...
00:22:05Look, both of you, just stop it!
00:22:07Now, we're here to figure out what to do about Nova.
00:22:12Justin, Grandad has something you should see.
00:22:14Yeah? What?
00:22:17What's this?
00:22:19Read it.
00:22:25Can you?
00:22:28Read.
00:22:33It says VR Osiris. What's that?
00:22:38Osiris was a god of ancient Egypt, back on Earth.
00:22:43And the VR?
00:22:47Vessel of the Republic.
00:22:51You've got an interstellar ship?
00:22:56What I have is beyond description.
00:23:08You've never been up this far before, have you, Justin?
00:23:14So where's this ship?
00:23:17And what's so amazing about it that you can't?
00:23:24What is that?
00:23:26That's it?
00:23:27That's the Osiris.
00:23:30Republican ship of the law.
00:23:35That's your only hope.
00:23:38And mine, too.
00:24:00That's your only hope.
00:24:04You're a good one.
00:24:18That's how you want?
00:24:18You're the one.
00:24:19Either way, can you possibly be at home with your main duty?
00:24:19Yes, you're the one.
00:24:22You're the other.
00:24:23You're not the other with your own duty.
00:24:24You as a pilot.
00:24:24They're all the only one.
00:24:24The pilot is.
00:24:30The other man wants to be the king.
00:24:31You're the one too.
00:24:32That's the one.
00:24:38well i should have known useless just like everything else about the republic this ship
00:24:43is completely intact except for the tachyon generators when this station was abandoned
00:24:49there was no one left to stop them from powering down what about regular matter antimatter engines
00:24:56doesn't have any of those slower speeds and auxiliary power of course but for the osiris
00:25:03to function as she was designed the tachyon generators must be online and that is going to
00:25:09take enormous power
00:25:22how is it enoch shaw's never come after this thing didn't you see the blast marks around the
00:25:27hatches and the loading bays he has but access to this ship was genetically keyed to members of the
00:25:33crew only oh just a little secret that i've never revealed to anyone and you were part of that crew
00:25:41yes of course
00:25:45i wonder you people lost
00:25:53i just don't know what good a dead ship's gonna do us dead ship 24 particle cannon port and starboard
00:26:00the same number of torpedo tubes and a computer and sensory system second to none even in her day
00:26:08there's scarcely a ship in the galaxy that could match the osiris
00:26:13that day was a long time ago general technology's been at a standstill since the republic fell
00:26:18yes that's where i was hoping you'd come in
00:26:22me
00:26:24there is one group in the galaxy with the technical knowledge and the tools
00:26:28to restart the osiris's tachyon generators you mean the engineers you've had dealings with them
00:26:35no a little out of my price range engineers will cost a fortune were you going to raise that kind
00:26:40of money
00:26:40that's my question to you
00:26:42oh i get it i may be an outlaw but outlaws have their uses huh
00:26:48look justin
00:26:50i'm an old man
00:26:52and death holds no terrors for me
00:26:55but the thought of any of us dying on that planet down there
00:26:58no
00:27:01and then
00:27:02i have to think
00:27:04about what will happen to maggie
00:27:05after i'm gone
00:27:08what are you saying
00:27:10i'm saying
00:27:10that throughout the galaxy
00:27:13there are others like me
00:27:16servants of the republic
00:27:17who have kept its spirit alive to pass on to future generations
00:27:21in the markup system for example
00:27:23there are friends of mine
00:27:24who have for years
00:27:26been protecting the last remaining member
00:27:29of the cabell family
00:27:31isn't junius cabell
00:27:32the last pro consul of the republic
00:27:34thought he was assassinated along with his whole family
00:27:36one grandson survived
00:27:39and he's being raised by trusted friends
00:27:42i can think of no better group of people to look after maggie
00:27:47she'll have the opportunity
00:27:49to learn all that the cabell name stood for
00:27:51oh i get it
00:27:52you need me to raise money for the engineer
00:27:55so you can take this trip
00:27:56and you do know how i'm likely to do that
00:27:58well it's not really necessary that i know it
00:28:01no
00:28:02but you just don't want to know
00:28:03wouldn't fit in with your nice republican principles
00:28:09look justin
00:28:11if you don't wish to
00:28:12you know i wish to
00:28:15it's the only chance i have to get my sister back
00:28:20yes
00:28:32hey old man
00:28:34go on
00:28:36you know nobody's allowed around the archives after dark
00:28:49let's go next to him
00:28:52let's get out of the house
00:28:52let's go next to him
00:28:55let's go next to him
00:28:59get out of the house
00:29:00wait
00:29:00and
00:29:05say
00:29:06you
00:29:07what does
00:29:08believe
00:29:14now you'll see me get some enjoyment out of life thorpe the warlord will certainly allow
00:29:19me to kill you for this i thought i told you to stay on the ship well you weren't kidding
00:29:31you could definitely do a lot of damage with one of these things is he dead nope stunned
00:29:39i'm gonna give you a lesson taking orders later hey i'm not doing nova any good sitting around
00:29:43waiting for you to get shot just keep your eyes peeled like that thing somewhere else come on come on
00:29:55i definitely gotta look at this whole war-lording thing pipe down fill your pockets we gotta get
00:30:01out of here before sean gets back okay that's enough let's go there's still some left it's just gonna
00:30:12weigh us down come on come on so what happens now you send out a signal and these engineer people
00:30:25just
00:30:25up here yeah welcome aboard yes in a day or so one of their ships will pull alongside the osiris
00:30:32and a repair team will come aboard
00:30:37their equipment's top of the line with the rates they charge they can afford it
00:30:42nobody knows where they come from or how it is they still have the knowledge to do what they do
00:30:46so don't bother asking because they won't tell
00:30:53so how you doing sir
00:31:01oh ma'am
00:31:24so
00:31:30so
00:31:31so
00:31:57Sorensen, Sorensen, where are you?
00:32:01I'm on the bridge, where are you?
00:32:03They did it, Sorensen, they really did it.
00:32:07Yes, they did, didn't they?
00:32:09I take it you're in engineering.
00:32:12The dachyon generators are coming online.
00:32:15It's quite a sign, isn't it?
00:32:28The engineer's ship is signaling.
00:32:34They've disengaged and they're clear of us.
00:32:43Okay, I'm ready.
00:32:45You're ready?
00:32:46Ready for what?
00:32:47Come on, get out of the chair.
00:32:48Well, we've prepared a long time for this, Maggie.
00:32:50Let's see how well you were paying attention.
00:32:52Whoa, whoa, wait.
00:32:53You're not going to let her fly this thing.
00:32:56You may want to sit down, Justin.
00:32:58Maggie's flying skills are prodigious, but you know that.
00:33:01And she spent hundreds of hours learning to man the helm of the Osiris.
00:33:05A 15-year-old is not going to pilot an interstellar ship.
00:33:09She's more qualified than I am at this point.
00:33:13Unless you want to try, do you?
00:33:16Let me ask you one thing.
00:33:17Are you ever going to tell me all the details of your little plan?
00:33:21Okay, Maggie.
00:33:24Take her out.
00:33:26Okay, Maggie.
00:33:38Clear the dock.
00:33:49Easy, Maggie.
00:33:52Raise your collecting sales.
00:33:56Get your tachyon generators fully charged.
00:34:15Warlord.
00:34:18Excuse the intrusion, but we picked up...
00:34:20I'm sorry, Valwa.
00:34:21There's no way around it.
00:34:23I'll have to kill Thorpe.
00:34:25I know you wanted to, but I'll have to be the one to set the example.
00:34:29Warlord, we picked up...
00:34:30I'd rather not.
00:34:31Truly, I would.
00:34:32I mean, I sympathized with the man.
00:34:35Gave him my counsel.
00:34:37I even found it in me to like him.
00:34:39Yet, how does he repay me?
00:34:42No, Valwa, unfortunately.
00:34:44No one.
00:34:46No one kills Justin Thorpe but me.
00:34:49Warlord.
00:34:51Our sensors have picked up something unusual.
00:34:53The old republican ship, the Osiris.
00:34:55Yes?
00:34:57It's moving.
00:34:59Warlord!
00:35:01The Osiris is in open space.
00:35:06Thorpe.
00:35:09Have they engaged attacking engines yet?
00:35:12Not yet, Warlord.
00:35:14Then attack!
00:35:15Attack while we still care!
00:35:17But is it Thorpe?
00:35:19Of course it's Thorpe, you idiot.
00:35:21He used the money he stole from us to refit the Osiris and go after his sister.
00:35:29Damn Thorpe.
00:35:30I want that ship.
00:35:33Prepare to attack.
00:35:35Rock up.
00:35:37Engine's at attack speed.
00:35:45All right, Maggie.
00:35:47The tachyon generators are almost at full capacity.
00:35:51What are you doing?
00:35:53Hey, it wasn't me.
00:35:54Hold it, both of you.
00:35:55That was an attack.
00:35:56Attack?
00:35:57Maggie, evasive action.
00:35:58Justin, you're with me at the operations.
00:36:01Okay, first things first.
00:36:02I'm raising the death net.
00:36:04What?
00:36:05Defensive network.
00:36:06The shields and damping fields.
00:36:07Maggie!
00:36:07This is gonna bring your sails down.
00:36:09But we're not at full power yet.
00:36:11I know that.
00:36:12But we're defenseless while they're up.
00:36:28What is that?
00:36:29What's happening?
00:36:30The old girl's rigging for action.
00:36:32Well, why the damn drums?
00:36:34Meeting to quarters.
00:36:35Alerting the crew.
00:36:36Effective, isn't it?
00:36:39Now, let's see who our guests are on screen.
00:36:43See?
00:36:43No.
00:36:43No.
00:36:43No.
00:36:46It's shot.
00:36:47Steady, Maggie.
00:36:48No need to panic.
00:36:50We've got enough weapons on this ship to take on five like him.
00:36:54Justin, you go to the weapons station.
00:36:58All right.
00:36:59Enabling weapons.
00:37:00You should be receiving a schematic array on your tactical screen now.
00:37:05Now?
00:37:05Now.
00:37:06I got nothing now.
00:37:10Eric!
00:37:12Maggie?
00:37:14Maintain evasive tactics.
00:37:16It's gotta be the computers.
00:37:18Matrix.
00:37:19Activate all weapons systems on the following voiceprint authorization.
00:37:23Sorenson, Alexander, A-1971.
00:37:27Weapons systems cannot be accessed.
00:37:29You mean the voiceprint is down?
00:37:31Voiceprint authorization is online.
00:37:33Weapons access has been repatterned.
00:37:35Repatterned? Well, what is that, repatterned?
00:37:38It means we've got a problem.
00:37:44We've got a problem.
00:37:45Well, it will go.
00:37:51That's pretty good.
00:37:53We'll see you in the movie.
00:37:53But with our sails down, we can't outrun it, that's for sure.
00:37:55We've got to think of something.
00:37:57I just don't know.
00:37:58Wait a minute.
00:37:58Matrix.
00:37:59Six, use your medium-red sensors and get me the current status on Caliban 9.
00:38:04The planet Caliban 9 is currently experiencing a level 13 cometary fragment bombardment.
00:38:08Fine. Get me the height and the frequency of the thermonuclear impact blooms.
00:38:13Approximately 47.6 thousand miles every three and one half seconds.
00:38:17Perfect. Feed that information to the helm guidance system.
00:38:30Aggie, I'm afraid you're going to get your big test a little early.
00:38:34Now, the computer's going to give you a course, but it's going to be an approximate course.
00:38:37So you've actually got to get us through that by yourself.
00:38:42Wait a second. Hey, hey, no, no, no, no.
00:38:46Yes, Caliban 9 for the last week has been bombarded with the last pieces of an enormous comet.
00:38:52And I'm betting that Sean doesn't have the equipment to predict the frequency of the impact explosion.
00:38:59So if we can lead him into that at just the right second.
00:39:02Sorensen, if we're a half second off...
00:39:04All right, Deb. The information's coming up on my screen now.
00:39:07Don't worry, Justin. If I'm off, we fry.
00:39:12Just one of those blasts could cripple us, Warlord.
00:39:15Do you think they're suicidal, Valois?
00:39:18If thought goes in, we go in.
00:39:26Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:40:12Our escape window should be opening...
00:40:14No, now.
00:40:15What?
00:40:15I can feel it in handling. There's another one coming now!
00:40:18Then put it away! Put it away!
00:40:26No, no, no, no!
00:40:28Put it away!
00:40:31Let's do it!
00:40:31Put it away!
00:40:56We have just enough power to get clear of the planet, Hoylard.
00:41:00Yes.
00:41:02First we'll make repairs, then we'll go after him.
00:41:09Well done, Citizen Thor.
00:41:12But you can't run forever.
00:41:19All this firepower. I have no idea how to make it work.
00:41:24You know, I know a guy, an old friend from the Aquila system.
00:41:27Hey, guys. Next problem.
00:41:30What's wrong?
00:41:31I'm not sure.
00:41:33The Matrix is saying there's a small ship docked at one of our shuttle bases.
00:41:36What do you mean? It's not the Remora?
00:41:39Nope. Somebody else. Three life forms aboard.
00:41:42You let somebody slip in here without noticing?
00:41:44Hey, I kind of had my mind on other things.
00:41:49What's the SENS deck say?
00:41:51Same thing. Only one intruder's left their ship.
00:41:55Wait.
00:41:58He's in the officer's quarters, and he's playing with the Nutrisent.
00:42:01Nutrisent.
00:42:03Hey!
00:42:04Who breaks into a rig like this just to raid the kitchen?
00:42:07What I want to know is how he broke in.
00:42:09Nobody's ever violated this mess of security system.
00:42:17Come on.
00:42:18Come on.
00:42:19I know you can make one. Search your memory banks.
00:42:21It's got to be in there.
00:42:23Wally, what do you think you're doing?
00:42:26Hey, Justin.
00:42:27I had a feeling you were on this ship.
00:42:31The stupid Nutrisent claims it can't make a Jelanar Supreme.
00:42:38Hmm.
00:42:40That's more like it.
00:42:44Nice ship you got here, pal.
00:42:46Justin.
00:42:49Who is that?
00:42:51Wally Bryce.
00:42:52The guy I was telling you about before.
00:42:54How are you, General Sorensen?
00:42:55Maggie.
00:42:56Oh, what an amazingly fortunate coincidence.
00:42:59Wait a minute.
00:43:01How did you know our names?
00:43:02Don't ask.
00:43:03What's the feeling I got?
00:43:04I get them.
00:43:06And I've had one for the last day or so about you, Justin.
00:43:10I can't shake it.
00:43:12How did you get through the security systems?
00:43:14It wasn't easy.
00:43:15Hey, they're good, but I had a feeling.
00:43:18Hey.
00:43:18Knock it off with that.
00:43:20With what?
00:43:20You know what I'm talking about, those feelings of yours.
00:43:23My friend here has a very accurate and annoying ability to sense things.
00:43:27About people, animals, machines.
00:43:29As long as you're here, Wally, you're putting it to work for us.
00:43:33Come on.
00:43:37Wait.
00:43:38You're saying you're telepathic?
00:43:39Please, I'm not telepathic.
00:43:40I'm not psychic.
00:43:41I'm not empathic.
00:43:42Come on, Wally.
00:43:43Wally, do you have any idea of the garbage you have to deal with if people even think
00:43:46you're telepathic?
00:43:47Little old ladies who want to talk to their dead pets?
00:43:49Warlords who want to find out what their enemies are up to?
00:43:52All right.
00:43:53I just get fairly reliable feelings.
00:43:57Let's just leave it at that, okay?
00:43:59Okay.
00:43:59Okay.
00:44:03So what happened to Nova anyway?
00:44:05I was just going to tell you, Wally.
00:44:06Okay, fine.
00:44:06Sorry.
00:44:06Go ahead.
00:44:07It's not like I do it on purpose, you know.
00:44:11There's no structural damage, just the access reconfiguration.
00:44:16Figures the engineers didn't fix it.
00:44:18They're pretty passive people.
00:44:19Don't like working with weapons systems.
00:44:22But I ought to be able to...
00:44:26Ah.
00:44:28There we go.
00:44:34Splendid.
00:44:35Very good work, Mr. Bryce.
00:44:37Don't mention it.
00:44:38It helps you find Nova.
00:44:39Seems like there's a lot of systems on this ship that would help find her.
00:44:42The old war hero here doesn't know how to handle them.
00:44:44Wait a minute.
00:44:45I was a general, not a bloody admiral.
00:44:48Now, he's got a point, though, Willie.
00:44:49If you stayed aboard, it would greatly improve our chances of getting Nova back.
00:44:53It's a big favor to ask, Wally.
00:44:55We don't know who's got her or why.
00:44:56There's bound to be trouble.
00:44:58Hey.
00:44:58You seem to be forgetting who gave that kid her first lesson in quantum mechanics.
00:45:02Whatever it is, Justin, I'm in.
00:45:03You know that.
00:45:04Hey, I guess I do.
00:45:06What worries me is what you think you're going to do when you find her.
00:45:09What do you mean?
00:45:12Well, wherever she is.
00:45:13You can't just go in there with all the cannon on a Republican ship of the line blazing.
00:45:18Not if you expect to get her out of there alive.
00:45:21You're going to need an arbitrator.
00:45:22I bet you just happen to have one tucked away on your ship.
00:45:25And they call me psychic.
00:45:28Yeah.
00:45:29I met her in the Aquila system.
00:45:31Her name's Rula Kor.
00:45:34Uh, look, no.
00:45:35Um, arbitrators can't be trusted.
00:45:38I mean, arbitrators are diplomatic mercenaries.
00:45:40No.
00:45:41No, I don't know.
00:45:41I've seen some good ones work out some pretty ugly scenes.
00:45:43And believe me, this lady's the best.
00:45:46I gave her a lift once to Gruffius III and stuck around to watch her work.
00:45:51Amazing.
00:45:52That planet, as you know, has had one of the worst tribal wars around.
00:45:54She took the two leaders aside and basically maneuvered them into a settlement.
00:45:58I'm telling you, Justin, if you have to place Nova's life in an arbitrator's hands,
00:46:02and I don't see any way around it, then Rula's the one.
00:46:10All right, all right.
00:46:12What's taking her so long?
00:46:13She's probably nervous.
00:46:15Nervous?
00:46:18About what?
00:46:20Did I say nervous?
00:46:22You know, Justin, what I meant was...
00:46:25Wally, what are you up to?
00:46:27Airlock secured.
00:46:38Well, Wally, is this the client you mentioned?
00:46:40This is him.
00:46:41Justin Thorpe, Rula Kaur, and her assistant, Jonna.
00:46:49Jonna's a Zen trick.
00:46:50I wouldn't try shaking hands with her unless you can afford to lose one.
00:46:55Rula, thanks for signing on.
00:46:57I want you to know, Mr. Thorpe, that professional interests aside,
00:47:00I'm going to be making a special effort in this case.
00:47:03Oh?
00:47:04Why is that?
00:47:06I know what it's like to lose a child and never find her again.
00:47:11Do you, Rula?
00:47:14It seems to me there's an obvious difference
00:47:16between losing a child and abandoning one.
00:47:20I didn't come here to reopen old arguments with you.
00:47:23What is this?
00:47:24Where's Maggie?
00:47:25Maggie doesn't wish to see you.
00:47:27Don't.
00:47:28Don't even try that again.
00:47:30Maggie's old enough to speak for herself now.
00:47:32Rula.
00:47:34Rula, wait.
00:47:40Hey.
00:47:40Hey!
00:47:42Wally, so help me, I'm...
00:47:43Look, Justin, she's got a case.
00:47:44Listen to her side of the story.
00:47:45I don't want to hear any stories.
00:47:47You're a dead man.
00:47:48Justin, they haven't seen each other in years.
00:47:50And you do need an arbitrator.
00:47:53And you do need an arbitrator.
00:48:22I wasn't much older than you are right now
00:48:24when we found out I was pregnant.
00:48:32Could you see yourself having children in a few years?
00:48:38Nobody was holding a gun to your head.
00:48:41It was your choice.
00:48:42But I made that choice thinking that your father would always be there.
00:48:47He always took care of everything.
00:48:53I suppose I should have known something might happen one day.
00:48:56He was a soldier, after all, and a Republican loyalist.
00:49:00Pretty dangerous combination.
00:49:02And then he went off to the Baton-Catos War.
00:49:04And never came back.
00:49:06Nobody did from that war. The whole system's a neutron wasteland.
00:49:10And when he died, I don't know,
00:49:15I couldn't really handle having a little girl suddenly.
00:49:19I suppose I felt too much like one myself.
00:49:22I needed to go off and grow up.
00:49:25You know, just about everything you say starts with I.
00:49:28Have you ever noticed that?
00:49:31Some people have pointed it out to me, yes.
00:49:34Your father...
00:49:35I don't want to talk about him.
00:49:36He couldn't help what happened to him.
00:49:38You could.
00:49:41You never even visited.
00:49:44Your grandfather wouldn't allow it.
00:49:46He wouldn't even tell me where you were.
00:49:48Don't try to blame this on Granddad.
00:49:49He has taken care of me.
00:49:51Of everything.
00:49:52I'm not trying to...
00:49:54Well, maybe I am.
00:49:55He can be so manipulative, Maggie.
00:49:57You don't know him the way I do.
00:49:59You're so right.
00:50:00I know him better.
00:50:02He's always been honest with me,
00:50:04no matter how hard things have been.
00:50:07Look, Maggie.
00:50:09This is hard for me, too, you know.
00:50:15Isn't there anything I can do to make this easier?
00:50:18You came here to help us find my best friend.
00:50:21Do that, and then do what you do best.
00:50:25Disappear.
00:50:27Disappear.
00:50:33Disappear.
00:50:34China, isn't it?
00:50:37Access forbidden to all outsiders.
00:50:40Is that right?
00:50:43Oh, access forbidden to me.
00:50:46Huh?
00:50:48Centrix.
00:50:50They're all sworn to silence, aren't they?
00:50:53Known throughout the galaxy.
00:50:56For your warlike prowess.
00:50:58Your fanatical loyalty.
00:51:02I take it you wouldn't advise me
00:51:03to try and get past you.
00:51:11Justin has asked that you join us on the bridge.
00:51:14You didn't have to come all the way down here
00:51:16to tell me that.
00:51:17No.
00:51:18But you wanted to make sure
00:51:19I didn't undermine your position with Maggie,
00:51:22didn't you?
00:51:23Well, don't worry, Father.
00:51:24You've done a first-class job in brainwashing her.
00:51:26She has no interest in talking to me.
00:51:35Try and make sure Maggie's okay, will you, Jonna?
00:51:38This has been pretty rough on her.
00:51:51Well, at least you don't talk.
00:51:55And if you don't talk,
00:51:59then you can't lie.
00:52:02Who who is that,
00:52:30How did you do that?
00:52:30Justin, wake up.
00:52:32What?
00:52:34Something's wrong.
00:52:36Something's happening.
00:52:37Where?
00:52:38Where?
00:52:40I don't know, but I have this feeling.
00:52:43Oh, come on, Wally.
00:52:45I'm worried sick about Nova.
00:52:47I haven't slept in days.
00:52:48I finally...
00:52:51I don't know who's worse, you, that old lunatic Sorenson.
00:52:54Sorenson, trust me.
00:52:56What do you mean?
00:52:58He's a sly old fox, Justin.
00:53:00He's been real tough to read.
00:53:02Got his own agenda, that's for sure.
00:53:05We need to worry about him?
00:53:07I don't think so.
00:53:09His heart's in the right place, but he plays his card.
00:53:14Wally.
00:53:20Am I seeing that?
00:53:22Tell me I'm seeing that.
00:53:28It's a planet.
00:53:31Sorenson, everybody to the bridge now.
00:53:34It's a planet.
00:53:36It must have been cloaked.
00:53:45Oh, my God.
00:53:47What is that?
00:53:48I don't know.
00:53:49Some kind of projection?
00:53:51No.
00:53:52It's up on all the sensors.
00:53:53It's a planet.
00:53:54A planet?
00:53:55With no star?
00:53:57Well, that's not possible.
00:53:58There's only one group in the galaxy capable of it.
00:54:01The engineers.
00:54:02The engineers, they're not kidnappers.
00:54:05They don't even carry weapons.
00:54:07Maybe not.
00:54:08But there's no other possible explanation, and that is not good news.
00:54:11Why?
00:54:12If the engineers have your sister, Justin, then they didn't take her for money.
00:54:16No ransom would be enough to mean anything to them.
00:54:21An astute reading of the situation.
00:54:24But your fears are ungrounded, Rulagor.
00:54:27I know who we are.
00:54:29It's even worse than I thought.
00:54:31I am the Chakla, leader of the elders of the Society of Engineers.
00:54:37And in their name, I invite you to the surface of our world.
00:54:41You will be our guests.
00:54:43That is an honor that we have never bestowed on anyone.
00:54:46So how come I don't feel so lucky?
00:54:48If you know who we are, then you know why we're here.
00:54:51Where's my sister?
00:54:52She is with us, Justin Thorpe.
00:54:54With us and well.
00:54:56And I may add, anxious for your visit.
00:54:59I believe your ship is equipped with a spatial transverse system.
00:55:04Yes, of course it is.
00:55:06If it's functional.
00:55:08Then we shall drop our defensive shields to allow its use.
00:55:11And provide coordinates to your ship's matrix.
00:55:14Please accept our sincerest hospitality.
00:55:29We just programmed the coordinates they gave us.
00:55:32So how does that thing work?
00:55:33What does it do to people?
00:55:34Nothing.
00:55:35To people.
00:55:35In the early days, they used to scramble human molecules and send them across space to be
00:55:39reassembled at another terminal.
00:55:41But there were too many accidents.
00:55:44So they started bending and folding the space we travel through instead.
00:55:48Much more reliable.
00:55:51Yeah, I could do that myself.
00:55:52It's better if I do the injecting.
00:55:54I've had a lot of experience.
00:55:56I bet you have.
00:55:58Ow!
00:56:00I thought you said that wasn't going to hurt.
00:56:02I didn't say it wouldn't hurt.
00:56:03I said I'd done it a lot.
00:56:05I'm not crazy about having strange things in my head.
00:56:07You really think you'll notice one more?
00:56:10Besides, internal opticons aren't strange.
00:56:13They're just unusual.
00:56:15Sort of a secret weapon I developed for negotiations.
00:56:18Gives us an edge to be able to send agents into a situation and then see and hear exactly
00:56:22what they see in here.
00:56:24I still believe it's a big mistake to go down there unarmed, don't you?
00:56:27They didn't phrase it as a request, Father.
00:56:29If we go down there with weapons, all contact will be terminated and that'll kill any chance
00:56:34of getting Nova out.
00:56:39All right.
00:56:40Let's see if the implants work.
00:56:41Maggie, can you read me?
00:56:43Got it.
00:56:45Are the others coming online?
00:56:48Yeah, they're coming up now.
00:56:50All right.
00:56:50Now, you and Jana keep the situation on closed watch.
00:56:53At the first sign of trouble, get the Osiris to a higher orbit.
00:56:56Maggie, all arbitrators monitor a specific paraspace audiovisual frequency, and I've programmed
00:57:02our implants to feed into that frequency.
00:57:04So make sure to maintain the link.
00:57:06Got it.
00:57:09Do you want to be okay?
00:57:12Have been for the last 11 years.
00:57:17Remember, these implants are receivers as well as transmitters, so if you have any problem...
00:57:21I won't.
00:57:22All right.
00:57:24We should be ready to start down.
00:57:37Well, stay close, Justin.
00:57:40If you move outside the transverse while it's active, it could be most unpleasant.
00:58:03Well, brave travelers.
00:58:08You are welcome, indeed.
00:58:12I must say, Shoklan, you're the most cordial kidnappers I've ever met.
00:58:16Kidnapping is an act of force.
00:58:19Novathorpe came with us of her own free will.
00:58:22Then where is she now?
00:58:24Within.
00:58:24And awaiting your arrival, I merely thought that before you see her, you might wish to learn
00:58:30something of our customs, our culture, and our designs for the future.
00:58:36It might help you to decide if we were right or wrong to bring Nova here.
00:58:52Our society, though shielded from outsiders, is an ancient one.
00:58:58The city you are about to see is the result of generations...
00:59:02Jeez, Jonna.
00:59:04What's wrong?
00:59:05All the bad guys are down on the planet.
00:59:08Or at least I thought they were.
00:59:13Let me put this up on the main screen.
00:59:19Oh, great.
00:59:23You better power up the deaf net, Jonna.
00:59:40And so, as you have seen, our society inspires in our citizens a respect for the rule of law.
00:59:49You see, in order for any system to work for one, it must work for all.
00:59:58But your people.
01:00:01For all your talk of progress and community, there don't seem to be any emotional connection between them.
01:00:09In fact, there's no feeling of intimacy anywhere.
01:00:13Of course not.
01:00:16On our home world, we have eliminated all conflict.
01:00:21Can you imagine what that must be like?
01:00:23In order to achieve that goal, we had to eliminate the causes of conflict.
01:00:29Factionalism, tribalism, nationalism, globalism.
01:00:32Families.
01:00:34You started by eliminating families.
01:00:36Precisely, Mr. Thorpe.
01:00:38What has forever been known as the family system is, in fact, the basic unit of all conflict.
01:00:45Either from within, or when families formed the building blocks of competing tribes, nations, worlds.
01:00:53Was it not just such factionalism that destroyed your beloved republic, General Sorensen?
01:00:58Well, how do you bring it?
01:01:00How do you perpetuate your race?
01:01:02We are a race, not of blood, but of ideas.
01:01:07Thus, all intimate physical contact between members of the engineer society is strictly forbidden.
01:01:15Our genetic experts are striving to perfect a method of single-sex reproduction,
01:01:21while advanced hormonal restructuring will eliminate any sense of gender identity.
01:01:28In this way, we shall eradicate even conflict between the sexes.
01:01:37You're crazy.
01:01:40No. No, it's not crazy, Justin.
01:01:43The shock lens right.
01:01:45Nova?
01:01:49Nova, are you okay?
01:01:51Why wouldn't I be?
01:01:53Did you really come with these people willingly?
01:01:55Of course.
01:01:56It's an honor to be chosen for re-education.
01:02:00I was the only one in our whole sector.
01:02:03Re-education?
01:02:05We have not yet perfected our method of single-sex reproduction.
01:02:10Until we do, we perpetuate our race by taking in the most gifted children in the galaxy
01:02:16and allowing them to learn our ways.
01:02:22So, in the end, you are just simple kidnappers.
01:02:26They're not.
01:02:27They're allowing me to learn and grow and be a part of a great society.
01:02:31But Nova, we're family.
01:02:32Family?
01:02:34Like mom and dad who abandoned us?
01:02:38Families like that turned the galaxy into the place it is.
01:02:41What have you done to her?
01:02:43Must we have done something for a child as gifted as your sister to see the obvious truth?
01:02:48And your sister is gifted, Justin.
01:02:51More gifted than any new member of our society in years.
01:02:54Gifted enough in all probability to one day be incorporated into the sublime plenum.
01:03:00The what?
01:03:02Our highest authority.
01:03:07Yes, of course.
01:03:10It is decided.
01:03:12So genuine is our desire to include you in our society
01:03:16that you shall be the first off-worlders to observe the miracle of the plenum.
01:03:22Justin, the plenum! It's such an honor!
01:03:25Nova?
01:03:26I'm sorry, Shoplin.
01:03:29Shall I show them what I mean?
01:03:34Try to communicate with her, Justin.
01:03:36She's exhibiting all the signs of narcon neural root patterning.
01:03:40Marine washing?
01:03:41Worse.
01:03:41I'd say they'd actually been tampering with the characteristic structure for neural net.
01:03:59See, I am...
01:04:15The sublime plenum.
01:04:19I'll give it to you, Justin.
01:04:26Keep レイジン
01:04:29Well, he's hailing us.
01:04:37Well, now, I knew Thorpe was desperate, but I didn't know he'd hide behind children.
01:04:43You want to fight?
01:04:45You'll see how much of a child I am.
01:04:48After all my years of conquering and pillaging, I'm to meet my end by being strangled with a diaper.
01:04:54Horrors.
01:04:56Where's Thorpe?
01:04:58He's not on board.
01:05:00Oh, what a pity.
01:05:03Because in that case, young lady, you're going to die alone.
01:05:12John, it's I've burned auxiliary power to the deafness.
01:05:17I've got to figure out what to do.
01:05:24Honored ancestors.
01:05:27We have reached a determination.
01:05:29Despite their advanced age, they shall be granted inclusion into society.
01:05:37Provide that they agree to be re-educated.
01:06:10Justin, they're going to let you stay.
01:06:11Thus the minds and thoughts of our greatest citizens are preserved indefinitely to guide our actions.
01:06:19Spiritual immortality?
01:06:46Spiritual immortality?
01:06:48He's lying.
01:06:49All this activity, the great energy of your society, it obviously has some ultimate purpose.
01:06:55Could you tell us what that purpose is?
01:06:57Our most productive society in galactic history.
01:07:01It's privacy must spread.
01:07:04We are at last able to let this process begin.
01:07:08I thought so.
01:07:10I thought so.
01:07:11Galactic conquest.
01:07:12Galactic conquest.
01:07:12I know what I call galactic liberation.
01:07:16An end to the strife that has plagued every civilization since the dawn of time.
01:07:22There'll be many worlds who won't join willingly.
01:07:26Those who resist will be compelled.
01:07:31Or enslaved, like this creature that houses your eternal souls.
01:07:36Let's be clear.
01:07:38I take it you're offering us a choice between re-education and termination, correct?
01:07:44No further options exist, given current factors.
01:07:49Then consider this.
01:07:51My three associates and I have been implanted with transmission devices that are linked to
01:07:56our ship.
01:07:57Even now, we're transmitting your words and your image over para-space waves to anyone in
01:08:02the galaxy capable of receiving them.
01:08:05How is this possible?
01:08:07Shukran.
01:08:08Revered ancestors, I...
01:08:11We...
01:08:13We did not think them so cunning.
01:08:16And we did not detect the devices.
01:08:18We also discovered that your repair team didn't reactivate our weapon systems.
01:08:22And we've done so ourselves.
01:08:24We can punch a hole through your planetary shields and transverse out of here whenever
01:08:28we like.
01:08:28Impossible!
01:08:29You need a demonstration very well, General.
01:08:34All right, Maggie.
01:08:36Fire starboard gun number one.
01:08:39Aimed just outside the city.
01:08:42When ready, Maggie.
01:08:46Maggie?
01:08:48Where are you?
01:08:51So, the famed arbitrator's bluff.
01:08:55Huh.
01:08:56We are not quite so gullible.
01:08:59Take the strangers to the processing center.
01:09:03Exize their transmission devices.
01:09:06And disfall some of their primitive bodies.
01:09:11Justin, no!
01:09:12Hey, Nova!
01:09:14Nova!
01:09:15Forget her, Justin Thorpe.
01:09:17We gave you a chance for survival.
01:09:20Because we thought you might be exceptional.
01:09:23But you are only lying barbarians.
01:09:26Remove them!
01:09:29Nova!
01:09:31John, I think we've got a link.
01:09:33Try patching it through.
01:09:38Hello!
01:09:38On the surface, wherever you are, can you hear me?
01:09:41Yes.
01:09:42Maggie, we're here.
01:09:43Where have you been?
01:09:44We have a slight problem here.
01:09:46It's Sean.
01:09:47He's attacking and he won't leave without Justin.
01:09:49We could probably destroy his ship, but...
01:09:52Well, I've never actually killed anybody before.
01:09:55You say Sean wants Justin.
01:09:57Then you go right ahead.
01:09:58And you tell him exactly where Justin is.
01:10:00What?
01:10:01Just do it.
01:10:15There must be a genetic defect.
01:10:17His body is rejecting the hormones.
01:10:26That concept is mistaken.
01:10:28That concept is mistaken.
01:10:31That concept is mistaken.
01:10:34This is re-education.
01:10:37If you're gonna kill me, you can kill me right here and now.
01:10:41But as long as I'm alive, you won't subject my sister to any more of that!
01:10:44You'll do as you're told, Thorne.
01:10:47Nova, I know it's hard.
01:10:49I know what they've done.
01:10:50But try to remember, we were family.
01:10:53Maybe not with a mother and father.
01:10:55But you and me, we've always come through for each other.
01:10:58Always.
01:10:59See?
01:11:05A bio-crystal.
01:11:07I got it for you that day at the Archives, remember?
01:11:10But now we won't have enough food for the winter.
01:11:13We will!
01:11:13We will!
01:11:14Enough of this, Thorpe!
01:11:18What was that?
01:11:24I'm very sorry.
01:11:26But if you have a score to settle with, my friend Thorpe, you'll have to wait your turn!
01:11:32We go home!
01:11:33I am alive!
01:11:54Maggie!
01:11:56Fire on the section of the defense shield above the city!
01:11:59Try to maintain an opening long enough to transverse us out of here!
01:12:07Come on, Maggie's got an opening, we can move!
01:12:11Order our defensive forces to assemble and launch!
01:12:15You okay?
01:12:16Yes, thanks.
01:12:16Told you we don't have to worry about the old man.
01:12:20No!
01:12:21You will not take her!
01:12:25No!
01:12:27No!
01:12:35No!
01:12:40No!
01:12:41Reset!
01:12:41I'm going back down for her now!
01:12:42I can't!
01:12:42Their shields are back up!
01:12:43Their ships are in the air and firing!
01:12:45I can't maintain the opening!
01:12:46They just keep clucking!
01:12:47I can't even see most of them!
01:12:49We have got to break off and head to open space!
01:12:51We'd be a match for the squadron, but not a whole fleet!
01:12:54We're not leaving without her!
01:12:55I don't care what they send against us!
01:12:57We're going back, swords!
01:12:58We're going back, swords!
01:12:58your landing rae!
01:13:10Welcome.
01:13:11Good to have you back amongst us.
01:13:15I was afraid I'd given you a little too much.
01:13:21you shot me nothing else to do you wouldn't let us leave even sean had the sense to head
01:13:26for arm when the engineer fleet appeared still no reply general i don't understand you know
01:13:32we're well within power space range nothing or range or reply remember the republican loyalists
01:13:39i told you about our mark have four you're not gonna abandon my sister we're not going to abandon
01:13:43your sister we're going back for her but i will not have this be a suicide mission there's no one
01:13:49group can stand alone against the engineers this has got to be a united galactic effort
01:13:55talking about reviving the republic justin give yourself a minute to think about this
01:13:59people already understand the republic is an idea you won't have to waste a lot of time explaining
01:14:03except to me probably fell apart wally what makes you think it's not going to happen again yes
01:14:11i've spent a lot of time thinking about that oh really yes really there's a lot of truth in what
01:14:16you say towards the end the leaders of the republic may have become too remote we should have had new
01:14:23blood we failed to get it blood like yours i must still be unconscious and you two you're on board
01:14:32with
01:14:32this maggie you're actually asking for my opinion you saved my butt twice in one week i figure i can
01:14:42manage that i think we can't go back for nova without help
01:14:52so what do we do now we need a rallying point of some kind someone associated with the republic
01:14:58that people want to follow a name they can trust and there's only one logical choice
01:15:05the boy i told you about the grandson of junius cabel
01:15:12finally markab four granddad it's moshua put it on the screen
01:15:18i repeat alexander if it is you hailing us stay away stay away
01:15:26moshua what's happening the entire planet surprise attack we don't know who
01:15:33can you give us a visual no they are cloaked don't don't approach there are too many
01:15:41we've come for the boy cabel you've been trajan he hasn't been on this planet for years i thought
01:15:48you knew the plan for the republic trajan rejected everything about the republic since he grew up
01:15:56he called all of us sentimental fools he stole a ship he changed his name name and he went off
01:16:06where i don't know but he calls himself sean now alexander
01:16:14he's not sean moshua fire intensifying we lost our ship
01:16:23moshua moshua wally reestablish contact with markab four
01:16:30there's no sign of life on markab four
01:16:35they got here first the engineers who else can build ships that can fire even while cloaked
01:16:45all right maggie get us out of here before they realize we're in the area now
01:16:48but what course caliban six
01:16:54what so what if this cabel descendant is he not sean he's still the only hope you got
01:16:59he knows what the engineers are up to we'll just meet with him and make him see reason
01:17:04make he knock sean see reason
01:17:08does that mean you agree
01:17:11you agree to go along with the plan i'm not so stupid i don't get your point sorensen
01:17:16i'll get you he knock he knock will get you the loyalists and their ships and we go back for
01:17:19my
01:17:20sister but what makes you think he'll meet with us he won't meet with us he'll meet with me and
01:17:25it
01:17:25won't be to talk i just hope i get my point across before he kills me
01:17:32well well well citizen thor
01:17:37you got here quickly the osiris is certainly a remarkable ship i must say i'm going to make
01:17:43good use of her after i've killed you i mean are you going to kill me sean or should i
01:17:52call you
01:17:53trajan cabel
01:17:57been doing a little detective work now have we
01:18:03that knowledge will die with you
01:18:04i trust you've abided by our agreement to come unarmed
01:18:08yes good because i haven't
01:18:16i should have known i'm surprised you didn't what's happening to you
01:18:21you know what the engineers are up to and when they come to caliban six
01:18:25i'll fight
01:18:29you're loose
01:18:30well what other choice is there not the republic
01:18:34you could be the new brocastle tempting but i'm afraid not people like you and me have no place in
01:18:40a world like that thorpe
01:18:41we're fighters survivors
01:18:48but your family
01:18:49you don't imagine i ever knew my family do you
01:18:52the people who raised you sean
01:18:54what about them
01:18:55they're dead murdered by the engineers
01:18:57a desperate and pathetic boy thorpe you don't even know who those people are
01:19:02don't i the old woman moshua
01:19:06i'm letting you fall
01:19:07don't go on with this
01:19:16we saw the engineers
01:19:18kill them
01:19:20does that mean anything to you
01:19:24yes
01:19:29as a matter of fact it does
01:19:34she never asked for the job of bringing me up any more than i asked to have her
01:19:39but she never objected never complained
01:19:44always felt a little bad about not saying goodbye
01:19:50you say they destroyed the entire surface of the planet
01:19:52totally
01:19:54some advanced form of anti-matter radiation
01:19:59you have a strategy i suppose sorensen
01:20:04yes
01:20:04they'll hit the planets that were republican centers first
01:20:08we'll beat them to the punch
01:20:09then we'll organize those worlds and get them on our side
01:20:14all this wonderful republican technology
01:20:19and that's our strategy
01:20:22beat them to the punch
01:20:27well not a bad one at that
01:20:29oh sir i take it you do agree
01:20:33what about you thorpe
01:20:36what's your role to be
01:20:38my job's done

01:20:46according to the general here
01:20:47once word spreads that you've signed on
01:20:49there's going to be a whole fleet of republican ships
01:20:51not the squadron benedur put together
01:20:57so sorensen
01:21:00you've tricked our friend thorpe
01:21:02what do you mean tricked what's he talking about
01:21:05well i do think you might be honest with the man sorensen
01:21:08justin
01:21:10the ships i wanted were part of an organized republican squadron
01:21:14it took years to assemble
01:21:17but they were on mark heb four
01:21:18they were obliterated
01:21:20what
01:21:23you knew that before i went down there
01:21:32you lied to me
01:21:33it had to be that way
01:21:35if i'd given you a choice
01:21:36you would have turned me down
01:21:38you used me
01:21:40justin
01:21:42justin we need you
01:21:43we even need sean
01:21:44if i may sorensen
01:21:46what

01:22:03can i get a bio crystal
01:22:07what else should i say
01:22:10coming back up
01:22:13the bridge is awfully empty without a leader thorpe
01:22:18well i always told you you had potential
01:22:21i just didn't think it would fulfill itself in circumstances like these
01:22:26was there already one general too many on board
01:22:30who
01:22:33sorensen
01:22:35his days passed and he knows it
01:22:39what about you
01:22:42on this ship
01:22:43i don't think so
01:22:47it'll be hard enough being pro consul without having to act like one
01:22:51no i'll stay aboard the daedalus thank you
01:22:57oh
01:23:00your sister got the looks as well as the brains
01:23:04genetics can be so unfair
01:23:07you know as well as i do the old man's right
01:23:10i love you
01:23:12if you ever hope to see your sister again you'll have to let go of her for now
01:23:15face the bigger problem first
01:23:18if you try and go back they'll kill you
01:23:22assemble a new force
01:23:25she has a prayer
01:23:28and you
01:23:30me
01:23:32well i will say this
01:23:35we all may survive if the engineers have their way
01:23:38but there won't be much point in living
01:23:41i know
01:23:44and i know you know
01:23:49now
01:23:53get back to that bridge
01:24:09warlord
01:24:11you're not serious about all this
01:24:14this republic business are you
01:24:17i'm not sure
01:24:20the situation does have possibilities
01:24:24but what will the rest of us do
01:24:28do
01:24:31you will follow my orders as always
01:24:34now get back to the ship
01:24:47there are ghosts aboard this great vessel
01:25:01it's all right
01:25:05i'm sorry
01:25:09just for future reference
01:25:11you won't be needing tricks
01:25:13anymore
01:25:15deal
01:25:21there's a chair on this bridge
01:25:23that nobody sat in for many years
01:25:27i think you should see how it feels
01:25:31you're going to be spending a lot of time in it
01:25:45what was the closest
01:25:47republican senator mark heb for in the old days
01:25:51gamma valorem
01:25:53maggie
01:25:57lay in a course
01:25:58you got it
01:26:01but if you think you're getting a yes sir out of me
01:26:14as sorenton had said the job before us was almost overwhelming
01:26:19the engineers had spent years getting ready and we were scrambling for counter moves
01:26:23making them up as we went along
01:26:26we'd have to plan a campaign
01:26:29rebuild our technological systems
01:26:33negotiate allies
01:26:35and train a new generation to fight for a set of ideals that most people believed were dead
01:26:41ideals that had brought one of the galaxy's most dangerous warlords face to face with his past
01:26:46and with his destiny
01:26:49and the image of the one we'd been forced to leave behind would never leave our thoughts for very long
01:26:55in some ways success seemed impossible
01:26:58but we had something the engineers could never have
01:27:02the trust of friends who had already risked everything for each other
01:27:05who were bound by just the kind of ties that the engineers were trying to destroy
01:27:14as for whether or not we made it
01:27:16in the end
01:27:18that's the story these chronicles will tell
01:27:20the story these chronicles will tell
