00:00:20I am so glad we took this trip the North Sea is absolutely gorgeous this time of year
00:00:26it's so clear I can see for miles that's great listen mom it's really busy here so I'm gonna
00:00:33need that's your problem you're always working not always besides NASA is vital in protecting
00:00:40everyone's future takes a lot of sacrifice this job is really important and so is your family
00:00:47you should all take a trip relax a bit we could all take one together mom we already talked about
00:00:52this I've worked Tina has school it's always gonna be something Talia that daughter of yours is gonna
00:00:59grow up and you will have missed her whole childhood I see her plenty and Tina is excelling in her
00:01:05classes
00:01:06it's getting chilly you would think that climate change meant things would get warmer that's not
00:01:13how it works mom listen just stay inside you'll be good Talia oh my god mom mom
00:01:43Bennett here are you seeing this yes general I'm looking at it right now we'll meet you at the
00:01:47Pentagon ASAP I'm heading over to you the second we end this call what's causing this Dr Bennett it's a
00:01:53near-earth object and it's already injecting itself into the earth moon system it's interfering with the
00:01:59earth's axial tilt it can mean a drop in global temperature the beginning of a worldwide ice age
00:02:26oh yeah she's right here just like you always trying to figure out the next line of code did you
00:02:32guys
00:02:32speak to speak to my mom today mm-hmm oh she tried earlier pushing granddad and pop up a happy
00:02:38anniversary but she couldn't get through Joe does it have anything to do with the news Joe there is
00:02:42extremely cold unpredictable weather headed your way I need you and Tina to get to safety now wait
00:02:48what Joe there is no time I need you to go to the office in my top right hand drawer
00:02:54there is
00:02:57there is a silver thumb drive labeled arc models live I need you to take that get the go bags
00:03:05and head
00:03:05to NASA's bunker in Mount Weather okay
00:03:16anything else also I need you to grab the pelican gaze from the garage it has all the cold weather
00:03:22gear
00:03:22that you need what about you I need to stay and see if I can solve this so you're not
00:03:28me Astia no I
00:03:30can't you and Tina need to get to the bunker can't you just go back from the bunker I need
00:03:35to be here Joe
00:03:51you should go grab your go bags in the closet shoes coat laptop we out the door in two minutes
00:03:56all
00:04:05right no questions dr. Bennett nice to finally meet you in person I'm general David Green I'm the
00:04:12commander of this unified joint strike force I'll be working with the joint chiefs right this way
00:04:18looks like only hardened electrical sources are going to be reliable due to the electromagnetic
00:04:23field caused by nemesis nemesis that's the designation for this NEO yes follow me
00:04:37did mom say that she would need us there
00:04:41your mom wants us safe
00:04:49the suit's really uncomfortable dad I know it's because it's a special prototype with the
00:04:55ectothermic regulation system your mom brought her back home from her trip to Antarctica but most
00:05:00important they keep us warm and protect us and why do I still feel cold well
00:05:09because part of the system of the suits that we're wearing is recapturing heat of your body to
00:05:14then reuse it when your organs basically it's made for survival it's not coming so we can make it to
00:05:22the
00:05:22bunker
00:05:33can I have your attention please this is dr. Talia Bennett she's from NASA now with the
00:05:39defunding of noah NASA is going to be taking the lead on this task force this is administrator
00:05:44Alan from FEMA and captain Andrew house from the United States Space Force all right doctor get us up to
00:05:51speed all right approximately an hour ago a previously untracked NEO nemesis about the size
00:05:59of Mount Everest entered the earth moon system but don't we track those objects yes but its approach
00:06:04was hidden by the Sun's glare so how long till impact there won't be an impact the gravity well
00:06:09in the earth moon system has trapped nemesis in between them causing an increase in Earth's axial tilt
00:06:23okay Earth sits at 23 and a half degrees off center that angle is everything when the North Pole
00:06:31points towards the Sun it's summer when it points away winter it's not how close the Sun is it's the
00:06:38angle and nemesis just changed that by two to three degrees causing havoc on worldwide weather systems
00:06:45so what's the worst case scenario the earth will cool down half a degree to a degree every day with
00:06:53that will come arctic blasts that are unpredictable random and finally this will create a worldwide ice
00:07:00ice age freezing everything to negative 50 below tell us more about an arctic blast it's a sudden freeze
00:07:12front that could plunge temperatures down to negative 400 degrees in an instant then back well how long till
00:07:20we lock into this permanent ice age at current rates two years okay um well need to prep the president
00:07:32but I want to give him options what about we send a sentinel ICBM and blow the thing out of
00:07:39the sky
00:07:39that'll buy us time and sir high-yield options in orbit invite debris the fallout we're trading blizzards
00:07:48for a nuclear winner plus we'd kill hundreds of millions as well if we can't destroy it give me
00:07:55some viable options remove it I said viable doctor no this is a viable option we have a constellation of
00:08:04communication satellites in low earth orbit that we can repurpose you want to crash a thousand
00:08:10satellites into Nemesis that's as bad as blowing it up no think about it like this they're like mini
00:08:15tugboats initiating micro burns that push Nemesis out of orbit I like it distributed risk no single
00:08:23point of failure if you can do it can you do it yes I can write a code that will
00:08:31orchestrate the burn
00:08:32but I will need some models that will predict Nemesis response in near to real time I can get those
00:08:39from
00:08:39the Tulick field station how long initial contact a few days once we reach maximum Delta V a few weeks
00:08:46five at most okay get me really like the network so that she can get a hardened line to the
00:08:52Tulick
00:08:52field station down at sub level X that's our area where it's a hardened facility for extreme situations
00:08:59like this copy sir now I know that your husband has a recon marine but I'd like you to coordinate
00:09:05with administrator Allen here to get your family squared away but doctor you own the code give me
00:09:12results this is going to be one hell of a phone call yes sir
00:09:25it's going to take forever dad I'm really cold I know I got the heat of running full blast
00:09:38I don't know if it's a good idea I'll be on social media right now we should save our batteries
00:09:44seriously dad I packed into the Virginia DOT traffic servers I'm trying to find this a faster
00:09:50way to Mount Weather that's away from all of this all right okay I should have known
00:10:00uh turn right up here yeah uh there's a service road that the state troopers technically haven't
00:10:07opened up officially yet but I figured that it would save us some extra time nice job
00:10:15still cold dad
00:10:29doctor this is our backup server room we need to make sure all of this is online and ready we
00:10:34have
00:10:34two years as per your calculations and this is part of our fallback plan there are a lot of people
00:10:39depending on us this room is already a hardened facility if the Pentagon goes dark these fuel cells
00:10:46will give us a double redundancy make sure you stay up and running and warm we're doing all we can
00:10:53to mitigate injury or worse Cheyenne Mountain is standing by to link you with Tulick field stations
00:11:04weather models directly all right to get dart up and running we need as continuous data connection as
00:11:09possible that might mean analog backup well you'll get redundancy if you use the old cold war network
00:11:18if the modern network fails or collapses you're still up and running how old are we talking analog copper
00:11:27twisted pairs old good old stuff genuine reliable well let's get started then
00:11:40see if you can get mom on the phone I know I should know what it's all about
00:11:52nothing disconnects every time to try okay we save the battery that works probably overloaded
00:12:12okay team on the staging floor the zones are color-coded write this down green is go amber is pack
00:12:21red is shelter
00:12:23you're bus police to hospitals first National Guard to long-term care school principals shelter in place protocols now if
00:12:32you can walk you can die
00:12:36any questions ma'am request for pet sheltering or flooding every line we're completely at capacity let them
00:12:42take the pets why because it doesn't matter might as well not freeze alone
00:12:51let's get to work yes sir mr. president the administrator Allen's efforts are moving along
00:12:58quite nice and getting everybody to safety yes sir I know I agree well uh Captain House and Dr. Bennett
00:13:06are
00:13:06currently reprogramming the communication satellite constellations as we speak yes sir understood
00:13:15it Captain House I need an update we're moving to the stack according to swarm intelligence to the
00:13:19waypoint navigation system copy that triple the redundancy we need this to work already on it sir this is not
00:13:27gonna fail on my watch if we anticipate the procession we can pre-vice the burn vectors give it a
00:13:35corridor to the moment so that ensures us a better chance of success yeah but it won't ever be a
00:13:41hundred
00:13:42percent my parents were on a holiday by the North Sea I was talking to my mom this morning and
00:13:55we lost
00:13:55connection we have to stop this no one else should lose their family we will I'm sure they're fine
00:14:15let me know how I can help
00:14:32this is strong
00:14:42label those bunkers by capacity we want to fill the biggest ones first not by numbers keep those families
00:14:53together hey hey hold that pallet I'm coming down distribution centers all across the country can
00:15:01follow orders but this one downstairs is struggling I'll be right back
00:15:26I'm just picking up as well I can feel it in the steering we should move faster
00:15:35not a hammer a thousand fingers blocking algorithms information controls are loaded
00:15:43we're compiled good I'll plug in that module and extend the code base we're not even gonna have
00:15:50time for a static analysis all right we could just go around but this is the only way into the
00:16:09blue rich mountains more weather dad we can't just help her state trooper so I say go around
00:16:33no freaking out
00:16:38what was that
00:16:42keep your head down all right
00:16:56what are we gonna do dad we get to the bunker as fast as we can all right
00:17:08if X are flowing shelters a 90-minute capacity city leadership wants a calm schedule
00:17:13okay you'll have it as soon as we harden the Pentagon lines all right we've completed the initial
00:17:18build and should be ready to execute should well it goes without saying it's extremely complicated
00:17:23sir we'll address all problems to the best of our buildings it's a lot of code okay well
00:17:29fortune favors the bold I say we go now
00:17:36wait we just got back data from the VLBI set density profiles wrong the redshift is this high the current
00:17:48spin-up
00:17:48spit it out doctor original calculation showed we had two years of cold weather and anomalous arctic
00:17:55winds before an irreversible ice age setting the new data just came in we don't have two years
00:18:03we have two months before the world is frozen
00:18:09lieutenant roberts collect everybody's phone no information leaves this room okay I need you to
00:18:14upload that code now and get those satellites over to nemesis asap sir it's been compiled but no bug
00:18:20checks dry runs sanity checks have even been completed how long would that take two to three
00:18:26days at least and even that's pushing it look moving now would be reckless sir we've no room
00:18:32for error here captain under these circumstances not moving now would be the reckless choice
00:18:38copy that right you Alan you're with me yes sir you speak five languages right I need you on the
00:18:43phone
00:18:43I have no idea if this is even gonna work work you're a good coder it's gonna work it has
00:18:52to
00:18:52go okay jack in here coordinate with ussf s and jack's open command let's get this in as quickly as
00:19:01possible x-ray charlie prep station fuel for incoming signal parameters along with a code packet for
00:19:10upload Romeo Foxtrot give me video feeds from Brussels Beijing and Delhi I want
00:19:22simultaneous confirmation sir reporting with global erc's he's populating on monitors
00:19:30copy satellite uplink relays locked paired ready for code transmission general I need your approval
00:19:39we have ESA confirmation JAXA confirmation we are ready to go copy copy general initiating code upload
00:19:51okay clear channel clear channel commence uploading synchronous packets
00:19:57commencing upload upload starting okay all birds reporting guidance update pushed confirm bird vectors
00:20:08right vector set we're hands off after commit the control layer adapts mid pulse
00:20:15do it are you sure general do it dr. Bennett do it dr. Bennett mark mark execute
00:20:41we have movement we have wait wait wait wait wait wait
00:20:48no the torque amplified and accelerated the procession shut them down put them down we can't it's autonomous
00:20:55it's mid cycle we're locked in how long is the burn 10 seconds
00:21:08secret nemesis trajectory adjustment fail actually we've just pushed it in we've increased the axial tilt
00:21:16we've made the magnetosphere twice as angry
00:21:30damn it sir no I need options not opinions we need to damp the spin fast we can't touch nemesis
00:21:40again not until we reduce the pressure differential this increased movement from nemesis
00:21:45this will no doubt increase the acceleration of the axial tilt making it colder faster creating more arctic blasts
00:21:53we likely reduced our time down to a month
00:21:58we can inject some heat into the weather system to counteract the fast-tracked cold
00:22:04but we need a controlled stratospheric warm surge
00:22:08how are we supposed to control that detonation of a tactical nuclear device in the 10 kiloton range
00:22:15well I thought explosive ordinance was off the table you know we we can't deploy against nemesis directly but I
00:22:22don't think that's what dr. Bennett is suggesting
00:22:24not we would deploy it into the atmosphere and create heat to counteract the cold
00:22:29where the north pole right above the cap in the right envelope minimal material lofted pressure lifted jet normalization
00:22:39what you're serious and how much damage is that going to cause listen I'm choosing a small fire over an
00:22:45endless night we have to slow this down
00:22:51okay I'll get a w-54 dialed into the 10 kiloton range and I'll have it deployed ASAP
00:23:10come on
00:23:12come on
00:23:14dad I'm honestly surprised it made it this far I think it's dead
00:23:31maybe that one isn't
00:23:34okay
00:23:37wait here when I check it out
00:23:38do you think there's just gonna be keys in the sun visor?
00:23:41wouldn't that be something?
00:23:43stay here
00:23:45keep walking
00:23:46careful
00:23:47shh
00:23:50shh
00:23:52shh
00:23:53shh
00:23:53shh
00:23:55shh
00:23:59jesus
00:24:03shh
00:24:04shh
00:24:07jesus
00:24:09shh
00:24:11shh
00:24:11shh
00:24:11shh
00:24:11shh
00:24:33Oh
00:24:35Oh, well I tried
00:24:49Oh
00:24:52Sorry, pal
00:25:14Come on, get in the truck
00:25:22It smells in here, dad
00:25:24This is so gross
00:25:27If it works, it works
00:25:34Blackstar, this is General Green
00:25:36EGA to drop
00:25:39We are two zero zero kilometers away from the drop zone
00:25:43ETA is one minute
00:25:45Damn
00:25:46Go for drop
00:25:47Copy that
00:25:48The president wants to know how solid is the science on this
00:25:53Well, it's solid
00:25:55The heat released from the warhead will counteract the cooling effects on the jet stream
00:25:59Well, why didn't we start with this procedure?
00:26:03It's a stopgap measure, not a solution
00:26:05Approaching drop zone, General
00:26:10On profile
00:26:11Arming sequence
00:26:13Set
00:26:14Envelope looks good
00:26:17Crosswinds
00:26:18Negligible
00:26:19Right
00:26:22Detonation 10.8 kilometers above cap
00:26:25No penetration
00:26:27We're heating air, not ice
00:26:31Do it
00:26:34A-load
00:26:49Away
00:26:50Come on
00:26:53Temperature rising
00:26:54Two degrees
00:26:56Three degrees
00:26:57Good work, people
00:26:58Let the president know the good news
00:27:01Oh, wait, wait
00:27:03I'm seeing pressure discontinuity
00:27:04That could cause a tsunami
00:27:06Where?
00:27:07Off Anchorage
00:27:08In the Alaskan Gulf
00:27:09There's also a high possibility for an arctic blast
00:27:11Send a warning out now
00:27:12Get any traffic or webcams you can
00:27:18Wait
00:27:20What kind of tsunami
00:27:21What kind of tsunami?
00:27:22Meteor tsunami
00:27:23Caused by sudden changes in air pressure
00:27:25Fast-moving storm fronts
00:27:26Or apparently a 10-kilo-ton nuclear-powered aerial detonation
00:27:32A meteor tsunami
00:27:33Exactly
00:27:34Get me the mayor of Anchorage or the governor on the phone
00:27:37Whoever you can get first
00:27:48The wave is two miles from Anchorage and closing
00:27:52One mile and closing
00:27:55Half a mile and closing
00:28:01Did that wave just freeze in midair?
00:28:03Have the city of Anchorage evacuated immediately before that wave thaws
00:28:09The model hub
00:28:11It's gone
00:28:13And for security, the copies were auto-gapped and air-locked
00:28:17No remote pull
00:28:19Protocol burned them on grid loss
00:28:24We're blind
00:28:26Except for one copy
00:28:28I have a copy on my thumb drive
00:28:31And my husband and daughter have it
00:28:35Then your thumb drive is the most important object on the face of the earth
00:28:48We just spoke with Marine Commandant Peterczyk
00:28:50He says he's going to send the MARSOC radars after Tina and Joe
00:28:53And he's going to have your family on the thumb drive as soon as possible
00:28:56Good
00:28:57About that modeling data, we're dead in the water
00:28:59Why is it that you have the data and not the government?
00:29:02The info from the Tulip Field Station is downloaded to a number of governmental agencies
00:29:07But the code needs to be compiled and verified
00:29:09I compiled the code prior to its distribution
00:29:12So my thumb drive has the latest version
00:29:14How far can we get without the drive?
00:29:17We need to prep a new direct effort to remove Nemesis from the Earth-Moon system
00:29:21Without that, we can't stop this ice age
00:29:24If we push it for something bigger than a communication satellite
00:29:28Like a propulsion assembly?
00:29:30Exactly
00:29:32We ferry a propulsion system to Nemesis
00:29:36Using the Dream Chaser space plane
00:29:38Push it back to the asteroid belt
00:29:41Not exactly easy
00:29:42Oh, no, no, no, no
00:29:43But better for the planet than a nuclear blast
00:29:46Okay, but we don't have time to spin up a launch code
00:29:49General
00:29:51This is a majestic level, Clarence
00:29:53Can you read them in?
00:29:55Majestic?
00:29:57Uh, Dr. Bennett, Administrator Allen
00:30:00This is need-to-know information
00:30:02It does not leave this room
00:30:05Continue
00:30:05Sir
00:30:06There is already a Dream Chaser being prepped
00:30:09At Cape Canaveral for a Black Ops mission
00:30:11All we would have to do
00:30:13Is reprogram the mission profile
00:30:16Okay, but we'd still need to spin a launch for the Dream Chaser
00:30:19That's the best part
00:30:20The ISS is being decommissioned
00:30:23Leaving only Tiangong, the Chinese space station, in space
00:30:26The U.S. needs the capability to remove the threat of Tiangong's weapons platform
00:30:31So, we've been testing the propulsion assembly to push Tiangong into deep space
00:30:37Everything we need is there and ready to go
00:30:40Do I know that CNSA has already approved any kind of help that you need
00:30:44So I need you to go down to the Cape and prep the Dream Chaser
00:30:48And I need you to get started on the code before you leave for the Cape
00:30:51Wait, wait, leave
00:30:52What are you talking about?
00:30:54Well, we're gonna need you there
00:30:56We can't have any of the code be corrupted over transmission
00:30:59You need to be there to hardwire the code
00:31:02He's right, he's right
00:31:03We need you there to ensure maximum success
00:31:05Oh, okay, no
00:31:06I don't, I don't do heights, or flying, or heights
00:31:11You're the head of NASA
00:31:13Yes, and there's a reason why I am in the control room and not the rocket
00:31:18Not today
00:31:20I need you to prep the hardware and I need you to get started on the code before you leave
00:31:23wheels up in 60
00:31:25Copy that, sir
00:31:27You heard him, doctor
00:31:29Yes, sir
00:31:32General, I think we need to seed storms over the most populated cities
00:31:36To avoid Arctic blasts
00:31:38That's a really good idea
00:31:39I'll coordinate with the Air Force while you start getting work on the code
00:31:43Warning, massive pressure differential detected
00:31:46Oh, no, another Arctic blast
00:31:48Bringing down our electrical system in the hardened area as well as the regular areas
00:31:52Aren't we in a hardened area?
00:31:54We are in a hardened area, but if everything is overloaded
00:31:56That affects the hardened area, and then we are out of luck
00:31:59Well, what about maintenance? I mean, can't they figure it out?
00:32:02All non-essential personnel have already been evacuated
00:32:05There are no maintenance people
00:32:06Also, everything here is segmented
00:32:09So that if anything happens in one area, it's protected from the other
00:32:12So we're essentially an island
00:32:14It has to be us
00:32:16What needs to be done?
00:32:18Well, all the electronics are down below in the tunnel
00:32:20So we need to go down there
00:32:21We need to look for the problem
00:32:23And we need to solve it
00:32:24I've got a ready locker with PPE and all the other equipment
00:32:28Follow me
00:32:29Follow me
00:32:34How are we going to get into the shelter?
00:32:39How are we going to get into the shelter?
00:32:41Unbelievable
00:32:42Yeah
00:32:43Yeah
00:32:55It all must have ruptured
00:32:58Water came down the alley
00:33:00It was frozen by one of those arctic blasts in midair
00:33:04Ben, I can't do this
00:33:07It's going to be okay
00:33:08We just need to get past this to get inside the shelter
00:33:10And we're home free
00:33:12I need you to be brave
00:33:14You're almost there
00:33:28We rick it
00:33:29So we blow it
00:33:32I don't know about that, Dad
00:33:35If we don't, we have to double back two hours
00:33:37And let's assume the car wouldn't even make it
00:33:39We have to
00:33:40That's the only way
00:33:41We blow this up
00:33:42And get into the shelter, all right?
00:33:46The fuses of the north, south, east and west tunnel
00:33:50Need to be reset and primed
00:33:52Before we fix any of the shorts
00:33:54Otherwise, we overload the entire system
00:33:57That's why we got to work as a team
00:33:59All right?
00:34:00Timing is everything
00:34:02All right, stay safe
00:34:03Stay in contact over the comms
00:34:07Yes, that should work
00:34:09What if it flows back on us?
00:34:29Junction 3 ice
00:34:33No immediate threat
00:34:49Behind the car
00:34:50And cover your ears
00:34:51Let's go
00:35:11It worked
00:35:12Come on
00:35:13Let's go
00:35:18Let's go
00:35:23clear of ice and operational priming the breaker
00:35:28our node one is primed and ready for when we find the fault
00:35:40node four clear
00:35:45priming node penny back
00:35:55node three clear
00:35:59it's on you madam administrator
00:36:04are any of you getting this temperature drop
00:36:09no our systems are holding
00:36:12I think I found the control box
00:36:18it's frozen over
00:36:30you copy
00:36:42I found the problem the wires are pretty damaged from the temperature drop copy that
00:36:59is
00:37:01just cut my glove I'm fine
00:37:04careful any contact of your skin to the metal can cause frostbite
00:37:07I grew up in Minnesota I'm aware
00:37:11copy
00:37:19all right
00:37:21once I flip these
00:37:24you'll have a minute of stable juice at best
00:37:27reset your core
00:37:28reset your core
00:37:29route the feed
00:37:30that's not enough time
00:37:34then be faster
00:37:45all right
00:37:48all right
00:37:56all right
00:38:02here's more of it
00:38:11we're go
00:38:13I can't hold this for very long the node is active you're gonna get a window
00:38:20take it
00:38:20take it
00:38:21got it I'm accessing it right now hold that line I'm almost at the command center
00:38:26take it
00:38:27take it
00:38:27I'm getting my fight first
00:38:27run
00:38:29gah gah gah
00:38:31dammit
00:38:31up stuck my foot
00:38:33ah
00:38:34come out
00:38:35talking
00:38:36oh my god helps
00:38:38no no no no no no no Sophie you can't help me
00:38:40i'm not going to leave you
00:38:41and you'll get stuck too
00:38:42alright
00:38:43you can fix the problem
00:38:45fast
00:38:46You saved me, you, and the planet.
00:38:49Go.
00:38:50Now, Doc, go!
00:38:56Captain House is caught in an ice bloom.
00:38:59Hold on, Madam Administrator.
00:39:02Freeze is coming fast.
00:39:04I can't hold on.
00:39:09Come on!
00:39:18Come on!
00:39:33Come on.
00:39:34Come on.
00:39:38I can bring the Corps online, but there's only buffer for one save.
00:39:42Either you or Captain Holtz.
00:39:46You can just hold on.
00:39:58Come on, Bennett.
00:40:02Laura, I can't save you both.
00:40:04He needs to fly the dream chaser.
00:40:10The only way to save the planet
00:40:15is to save him.
00:40:17What?
00:40:18Dr. Allen, what did you say?
00:40:21Hold on.
00:40:22Let me try to fix this.
00:40:26There's no time.
00:40:32You save him, Dr. Bennett.
00:40:36And then you go save the world.
00:40:41I'm sorry.
00:40:43I'm sorry.
00:40:45I'm sorry.
00:40:49I'm sorry.
00:41:11Routing core to Harden Cluster.
00:41:17Pentagon return complete.
00:41:19Dr. Allen?
00:41:21I had to make a decision.
00:41:23Shit.
00:41:31Our systems are back online.
00:41:34But General, we may have a problem.
00:41:37Oh, excellent.
00:41:38It's been about three minutes since we've had one of those.
00:41:42Increased rotational spin of Nemesis,
00:41:44along with the massive amounts of copper and aluminum
00:41:46at its course, creating massive currents strong enough
00:41:50to bring down the last of the Harden systems across the world.
00:41:53When?
00:41:54It's happening right now.
00:41:56But due to the increased activity of Nemesis,
00:41:58disruptions will be random.
00:42:00We need to get to the Cape right now.
00:42:02I'm nowhere near done with the code that's needed.
00:42:04Well, you'll have to finish the code at the Cape
00:42:06while Captain Howitz preps the Dream Chaser.
00:42:08Yeah, he's right.
00:42:10The sooner we get to the Cape, the better our chances.
00:42:12God, I wish my daughter was here.
00:42:14She's a much better coder.
00:42:16Plus, she has the info from Tulick Field Station.
00:42:18Look, once the Raiders find your husband and daughter,
00:42:20we'll get you that code.
00:42:21But you need to be at the Cape and upload that code
00:42:24to the Dream Chaser, and you need to leave now.
00:42:26Is flying a good idea in this weather?
00:42:28I mean, tidal waves are freezing.
00:42:30I know you have a thing about flying,
00:42:32but as you've explained, these Arctic blasts,
00:42:35they're isolated, contained, and random.
00:42:38Meaning the people and places on the ground will be affected,
00:42:41but going at the speed and altitude that you'll be flying,
00:42:44you won't be.
00:42:45Yeah, he's right.
00:42:48Also, I have an F-15E strike Eagle out of Ileson.
00:42:50It's been hardened for cold-weather ops.
00:42:52Special fuel blends, Arctic ground support, de-icing.
00:42:56It's being prepped right now at Ronald Reagan.
00:42:58You need to get everything you need for programming,
00:43:01and you need to be up in the air in 20 minutes.
00:43:07Can't go any further.
00:43:09Some shelter, but there's nobody here,
00:43:11and we're stuck in a kitchen.
00:43:15I've had him cold.
00:43:26I have an idea.
00:43:28Does this work?
00:43:35Yes.
00:43:49Okay, Dad, this is a really awesome hack.
00:43:51This is hitting the spot right now.
00:43:55Enjoy it while it lasts.
00:43:59I don't know how long until the line's free, Sonny.
00:44:03I mean, we are only 10 miles away from our weather.
00:44:06We could start heading over there.
00:44:09The call won't make it.
00:44:11Let's not worry about that right now.
00:44:21Do you think Mom's okay?
00:44:24I mean, she would be with us if she wasn't always working.
00:44:29We might not ever see her again.
00:44:32Hey, don't you ever say that.
00:44:35Mom is fine.
00:44:36Okay?
00:44:38She's a dependent one that's the safest place on the planet,
00:44:41and she's smart.
00:44:43Just like you.
00:44:50She's probably been waiting for us,
00:44:52with blankets and hot chocolate.
00:45:03Probably right.
00:45:09I just have to keep reminding myself that being on the ground isn't any better.
00:45:14This airframe is built for punishment.
00:45:17Twin engines, redundant systems, ejection seats.
00:45:20Strapping into this baby, the storm is safer than any commercial jag.
00:45:25Great!
00:45:25Regan Tower.
00:45:27Viper 1-1 single ship F-15E.
00:45:30IFR to Cape Canaveral, holding short runway.
00:45:331-9-Niner, ready for departure.
00:45:36Viper 1-1, Regan Tower, runway 1-9 cleared for takeoff.
00:45:39Fly runway heading climb and maintain 1-0-1000.
00:45:43Departure frequency 1-2-5.8.
00:45:46Squawk 4-5-2-1.
00:45:48Contact departure on roll.
00:46:02Float line's worse than forecast.
00:46:05Sheer like teeth.
00:46:06And I suggest we keep our hands out of its mouth.
00:46:08I agree.
00:46:10The screen's flickering.
00:46:11Something's playing with the field.
00:46:15Nemesis' interference is getting worse.
00:46:17Should be able to correlate the rotational frequency with its effect on the electrical magnetosphere.
00:46:22Coming in?
00:46:23Rough weather ahead.
00:46:24Working on a way to anticipate better.
00:46:27Copy that.
00:46:28Look, whatever helps keep us alive.
00:46:31Command, Dr. Bennett.
00:46:32EM anomalies escalating.
00:46:34Copy that, Doctor.
00:46:35Now, Canaveral says they can build you a narrow window,
00:46:38but be aware there is reports of a massive hailstorm at the Cape coming in waves.
00:46:43Now, if you can thread the needle between the first and second wave, it'll be golden.
00:46:49Gold.
00:46:50Copy.
00:46:50Yeah.
00:46:52We thread the needle, we fly to the Cape.
00:46:55Fly to the Dream Chaser.
00:46:56Simple.
00:46:58We need Tina's modules meshed before we light that fuse.
00:47:01I'll finish integration on the ground.
00:47:04What's wrong?
00:47:05Being on the ground is better!
00:47:07Crossing Arthur Glass.
00:47:11Where's that going?
00:47:13Can we ride asymmetric?
00:47:14Yeah, we're going to have to.
00:47:18We can't dodge them all at this speed.
00:47:20Just the big ones.
00:47:22Oh!
00:47:24Oh!
00:47:24Oh!
00:47:24Oh!
00:47:24Oh!
00:47:24Oh!
00:47:24Oh!
00:47:24Oh!
00:47:25Oh!
00:47:25So is the tail.
00:47:26We can't control the F-15 in this state.
00:47:28The hail has some silence.
00:47:30We have to get out of this jet.
00:47:31It's over here.
00:47:32We're ejecting.
00:47:33What?
00:47:34We have to.
00:47:35If we stay here, we're dead.
00:47:36If we eject, at least we stand a chance.
00:47:38If we eject, we're going to be dead!
00:47:41My mark.
00:47:43One.
00:47:43No.
00:47:44Two.
00:47:45No!
00:47:46Three!
00:47:46I don't think that's a good idea!
00:48:08You want one piece?
00:48:09Yes!
00:48:09Yeah, I'm okay!
00:48:11Okay.
00:48:11Good.
00:48:12Whew.
00:48:13Safer than a commercial jet, my ass!
00:48:18Two miles.
00:48:19Give or take.
00:48:21We got to hoof it.
00:48:22We don't want to get caught in another archer blast.
00:48:28So are we not going to talk about what just happened?
00:48:37Help!
00:48:42Hey, wait for me!
00:48:48Where's Captain Howell's plane?
00:48:51It's dropped off the radar, sir.
00:48:54Is that because it's downed, or is there a problem with the radar?
00:48:57Unknown, sir.
00:48:59Find out.
00:49:00Yes, sir.
00:49:08Okay.
00:49:09All right.
00:49:10Hold on.
00:49:11We're almost there.
00:49:12An entrance to the underground Cape and Admiral Passage is about half a mile.
00:49:17Watch out!
00:49:21Are you okay?
00:49:22Okay.
00:49:25Okay.
00:49:28Okay.
00:49:29All right, come on.
00:49:30We won't last long in a blast, even in these suits.
00:49:36Found an entrance!
00:49:39What's wrong?
00:49:40Nothing.
00:49:40Why?
00:49:41Come on, I know you're hurt.
00:49:43Ice caught my shoulder a little.
00:49:46Can't fly to space like that.
00:49:49Come on, will you just let me see it?
00:49:52Okay.
00:49:53Okay.
00:49:54You're okay.
00:49:55Come right here.
00:49:57Don't worry.
00:50:03I'm a doctor.
00:50:05Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:50:06Medical doctor, right?
00:50:10Yeah.
00:50:14I'm better than that.
00:50:15I'm a mom and the wife of a Raycon Marine.
00:50:18And as a bonus, I speak four languages.
00:50:22I'm not sure what the languages have to do with my shoulder.
00:50:26Yeah.
00:50:27Thanks, Doc.
00:50:28I don't know.
00:50:30I don't know.
00:50:33We've got company.
00:50:38We speak Gatorade.
00:50:41That wasn't one of the four.
00:50:44Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:50:44Hey, hey, hey.
00:50:45Eyes on me here.
00:51:03Hey, Gator.
00:51:05Showed us the way out of here.
00:51:10Looks like this tunnel goes all the way under the road
00:51:12and will let us out near the launch complex.
00:51:15What's there?
00:51:16We'll identify ourselves.
00:51:17We'll take us to Tartarus.
00:51:19What's Tartarus?
00:51:20The Space Force is a top secret subterranean facility.
00:51:23It's a space complex.
00:51:24It allows us to prep, test, missions without prying icing.
00:51:28That's why you don't know about it.
00:51:30Let's go.
00:51:38When we get to the shelter, we'll make sure we contact Mom,
00:51:41Issa.
00:51:41Mm-hmm.
00:51:47Dad, the heat's dying.
00:51:57Come on.
00:52:06We can break up some chairs in the dining area and start a fire.
00:52:12I think someone's here.
00:52:14Shh.
00:52:21Keep quiet.
00:52:23Don't move.
00:52:24I'm scared.
00:52:26Shh.
00:52:27Don't move.
00:52:28Come on.
00:52:45Hands up.
00:52:47You stand right there.
00:52:49Identify yourself.
00:52:52I'm a Marine Corps.
00:52:54Captain Jackson.
00:52:57We're on a rescue mission to Lieutenant Bennett, USMC, and his daughter, Tina.
00:53:01Have you seen them?
00:53:03It's us.
00:53:05We're ready to prove it.
00:53:06We'll verify.
00:53:07Get you warmed up, and back to Mount Weather.
00:53:10If you don't mind me asking, how'd you find us?
00:53:12We're Marines, ma'am.
00:53:13Let's go.
00:53:17We'll be ready for launch within the hour.
00:53:20I'll need to get on that pre-flight check ASAP.
00:53:24Captain Danvers, where can I finish the code and upload?
00:53:26Hello?
00:53:26Let's get you out of the fleet and load them to the flight deck.
00:53:29You, follow me to the control center.
00:53:30We can walk from there.
00:53:37Sir, thank you for the Marine escort.
00:53:40It helped us to get here as safe and quick as possible.
00:53:44Set for file, Lieutenant.
00:53:46Now, Dr. Bennett is at the Cape working on that flight that I described earlier,
00:53:49but she needs the Toolik-Shield base model that's on her thumb drive.
00:53:53Yes, we have the flash drive.
00:53:55What does she need my help with?
00:53:57Actually, she needs Tina.
00:53:59I can give you the specifics later,
00:54:02but basically, she wants to integrate the Toolik-Field algorithm
00:54:05into the code that she's writing for the propulsion assembly burn sequence.
00:54:10Do you understand what he's talking about?
00:54:12Yeah.
00:54:12I just need Mom's base code in order to prime the hooks
00:54:15and then reset the return patch signal.
00:54:18All right.
00:54:20General?
00:54:21I got it, so I'll send the rest of the code earlier,
00:54:23but once you get this, you're going to wrap the weather model API
00:54:26into the base kernel and balance the streams.
00:54:28Is that correct?
00:54:30Wow, General.
00:54:30You know your stuff.
00:54:31Programming didn't start in 2019.
00:54:35Now, we have a direct hard line from Mount Weather to the Pentagon.
00:54:38That's why we're able to have this video conference.
00:54:41We don't have the same luxury out to the Cape,
00:54:44so unfortunately, we're going to have to use the old Cold War analog lines.
00:54:49That's why we can't have you speak directly with your wife.
00:54:52Copy that, General.
00:54:54Oh, General, why don't you just use AI?
00:54:56Wouldn't that be love faster?
00:54:58Well, using AI, they want to use LLMs or large language models,
00:55:02and all the code that we're using is proprietary military code,
00:55:06and it would just be a security nightmare putting that into an AI algorithm.
00:55:12People still matter, Lieutenant.
00:55:15Copy that.
00:55:16Now, young lady, I need you to start coding ASAP,
00:55:19and you're going to have to be using simplex lines, not duplex,
00:55:22so the data's only going to go in one direction.
00:55:25You understand?
00:55:26Yes, sir.
00:55:26Good girl. Get to it.
00:55:28Let's get you plugged in.
00:55:36Cool.
00:55:38All right, all I need to do is just make sure the control packages get sent out first,
00:55:42and then I can send out the diagnosis.
00:55:44How long?
00:55:46Give or take about, like, eight or nine minutes.
00:55:52What's that?
00:55:53Dad, we have to keep the line going no matter what happens outside of there or in here.
00:56:01Any news?
00:56:02General Green confirms Tina and Joe are safe.
00:56:05It's also launched the cloud seeding mission.
00:56:07That'll buy us some time.
00:56:09But Tina's upload of the Tulik field model is coming in now, but...
00:56:15But what?
00:56:17Upload speeds are too slow.
00:56:20I don't know if...
00:56:22If what?
00:56:24The code will be finalized before launch.
00:56:29There is an option.
00:56:31Name it.
00:56:34The coding isn't finished before launch.
00:56:41Okay, wait.
00:56:43Okay, wait. Tell me again. How would that work?
00:56:46I can't believe I'm suggesting this.
00:56:49But I go with you.
00:56:53Okay, what?
00:56:55You were freaking out just flying here.
00:56:58And now you want to strap yourself to a rocket to space.
00:57:01Okay, trust me. I'm not thrilled with the idea exactly, but it's our only option.
00:57:04We take the hardware with us, and we finish the coding there.
00:57:07That takes care of communication and latency issues.
00:57:11And it can't be worse than the gator. Right?
00:57:17Yeah.
00:57:19Okay.
00:57:20We're gonna get you a pressure suit.
00:57:24We only need 48%.
00:57:25Tina, we need to move faster.
00:57:27I'm moving as fast as I can, Dad.
00:57:29No.
00:57:30No!
00:57:30How close?
00:57:31We're only at halfway.
00:57:33Come on, guys. Move it.
00:57:35Hurry that up.
00:57:35We need to get down to the bunker. Move it. Move it.
00:57:39Time's up.
00:57:39But I'm not done yet.
00:57:40That's it.
00:57:41I'm not done.
00:57:42We're gonna move. Let's go.
00:57:45Come on.
00:57:46Move.
00:57:48Move quick.
00:58:00Tina's upload just stopped.
00:58:02Capcom, this is Chaser One.
00:58:04We're rolling hot.
00:58:06Copy.
00:58:06Chaser One.
00:58:07Window is minus three to plus 90 seconds.
00:58:09Beyond that, weather wins.
00:58:11Copy that.
00:58:12Launch checklist.
00:58:13Didn't you hear me?
00:58:14I don't have the code.
00:58:15I heard you.
00:58:16We have a launch window.
00:58:18It's not up to me.
00:58:20Batteries.
00:58:21On.
00:58:22Ideonics green.
00:58:24Industrial green.
00:58:26RCS primed.
00:58:28Thermal marginal.
00:58:32It'll just be a clinch.
00:58:33Just keep working the lane.
00:58:35No, no, no, no, no.
00:58:39Wake up.
00:58:42The truck!
00:58:43Ah!
00:58:44You think the batteries still work?
00:58:46We're about to find out!
00:58:50Yes!
00:58:52Get in!
00:59:02Hold on!
00:59:11Five, four, three, two, one.
00:59:15Go for liftoff.
00:59:16Copy that.
00:59:18Lighten the candle.
00:59:20Helium.
00:59:21Radon.
00:59:23The ice is damp.
00:59:25Hold her nose.
00:59:26Look at that.
00:59:31We're free.
00:59:33We lose it, we choke.
00:59:35We're in an icing layer 6,000 thick.
00:59:37We need a thermal event on the skin to get rid of the ice.
00:59:40We've got washed the ice and chemistry.
00:59:43We advise the icing.
00:59:45We're gonna bathe the space plane?
00:59:48All the important parts.
00:59:50Either we do that,
00:59:52or we lose it.
00:59:54We're outing methanol and chlorine-volum lines to external dump.
00:59:57We need a catalyst.
00:59:59A catalyst?
01:00:01It's the heat we're making.
01:00:07That worked.
01:00:10Chaser one.
01:00:11You're clear of low-level hazard.
01:00:13Good climb.
01:00:14Watch shear at 12K.
01:00:17Running through.
01:00:24Guidance is nominal.
01:00:25We're in plan A loaded.
01:00:28We're above the storm.
01:00:40Fuel flow is good.
01:00:42Three clean.
01:00:43Four nominal.
01:00:44Propulsion assembly diagnostic is as well as mostly green and a little yellow.
01:00:49Assembly looks good for delivery.
01:00:51We'll keep it warm.
01:00:52It'll do its job.
01:00:54Chaser one.
01:00:55Good trajectory.
01:00:56You're going for orbital insertion.
01:01:00Go for insertion.
01:01:07Capcom patched me in.
01:01:08I don't know how long this patch will be stable.
01:01:12There's a breach at Mount Weather and the facility suffered a great amount of damage.
01:01:17This time, the disposition of your family is unknown.
01:01:26I should be with them.
01:01:29What am I doing?
01:01:30I need you to find them.
01:01:32General?
01:01:34Uh, we lost the signal.
01:01:36No, no, no, no.
01:01:37We can't lose the signal right now.
01:01:39General?
01:01:40Come on, come on, come on, come on.
01:01:42Come on, this can't be happening.
01:01:44No, I can't fail my family.
01:01:45Don.
01:01:46Don.
01:01:46You're not.
01:01:48You're doing everything that you can.
01:01:51I need you to focus.
01:01:53Okay?
01:01:55We're butchie nemesis.
01:02:01We're here.
01:02:06The signal's being affected by it.
01:02:10Holy shit.
01:02:15Yeah.
01:02:18Let's get to work.
01:02:25Okay.
01:02:26Vitreous pockets.
01:02:28Spin procession increasing 3% per minute and climbing.
01:02:33Oh, she's rolling downhill in space.
01:02:36Dragging our magnetosphere with her.
01:02:40Assembly shows stress.
01:02:41Thermal gradients outside spec.
01:02:43Okay, keep it warm.
01:02:46Commencing fairing separation.
01:02:48Propulsion assembly deployment.
01:02:53The manifold floor is sludging.
01:02:56That line froze once on the pad, it's refreezing.
01:03:00What's the warm on deploy?
01:03:03Warm-ish.
01:03:05Not a window like at this altitude.
01:03:09Okay.
01:03:11Here's what we'll do.
01:03:12We deploy the propulsion assembly slowly,
01:03:14one step at a time, very gently, okay?
01:03:17You call the temps.
01:03:18I'll handle the assembly.
01:03:19Copy.
01:03:20I'll open a channel.
01:03:23Capcom chaser one on station.
01:03:25Beginning assembly checks.
01:03:35Wait, pressure just dropped.
01:03:39Abort?
01:03:40If we stop now, the jolt could jam the whole process.
01:03:42But if we continue, we risk a leak in cold shock.
01:03:45Take your poison dock.
01:03:48Continue. Then we fix it by hand.
01:03:49Copy.
01:03:50Copy.
01:03:51Capcom.
01:03:52Repulsion assembly is out of cradle, but there's a frozen fuel line.
01:03:56I'll need to go outside.
01:03:57Proceed to manually service it.
01:03:59Copy.
01:04:00We have General Green patched in again.
01:04:02I know the state of your plane, but I will not have you die ten meters from success.
01:04:07You understand me?
01:04:09I need you both back here on this side of things.
01:04:12Finish the repair and get back on board the ship ASAP.
01:04:16Understood?
01:04:17Roger that, General.
01:04:18We're sitting with EVA.
01:04:22Be careful.
01:04:27General, any word on my family?
01:04:31Visuals have them leaving in a vehicle, but their whereabouts are still unknown.
01:04:38Let's hope they can finish the upload before it's too late.
01:04:41I have the partial code here, and I'm waiting for the rest of it.
01:04:45I'm in an EVA suit, egressing the airlock and beginning the EVA.
01:04:49Copy that.
01:05:03Feed four elbows got a frost tattoo.
01:05:07Gentle heat, minimal mechanical stress.
01:05:11If you flex that elbow, it'll snap like spun glass.
01:05:15Copy. Localized thaw.
01:05:30Weeping.
01:05:31She's weeping fuel.
01:05:34Okay, back off.
01:05:35Now. That's Cascade territory.
01:05:37If the thing gets worse, and this thing blows, this could be a much shorter trip than planned.
01:05:42We should have ignition in.
01:05:48Command assembly hot!
01:05:50Aborting! Aborting!
01:05:58Captain! Status!
01:06:07I'm here. I'm good. We're good. I'm...
01:06:11That was close.
01:06:15Alright then.
01:06:17Prep for deployment?
01:06:19Ready.
01:06:20As long as ammo.
01:06:28And the propulsion assembly has made contact with Nemesis.
01:06:32Ready for burn.
01:06:33We still don't have that code updated.
01:06:35We need the last piece.
01:06:37We need to proceed now.
01:06:38Okay? It can't get worse.
01:06:40Calling for burn.
01:06:42Burn parameters plugged in and ready.
01:06:45Exciting burn.
01:06:48Three...
01:06:50Two...
01:06:50One.
01:06:57No, no, no, no, no, no. It's spinning faster.
01:07:01Come on.
01:07:05Talk to me.
01:07:06We made it worse.
01:07:08Increased spin is creating the global ice age now.
01:07:11Wait, but now?
01:07:13We're past the point of no return.
01:07:16In eight hours, it won't just be Arctic blast pockets.
01:07:18It'll be the whole world.
01:07:23The entire planet will die.
01:07:31Houts, talk to me.
01:07:33The entire southern hemisphere is freezing.
01:07:35We are losing lives.
01:07:38You don't think I know that?
01:07:40The propulsion assembly suffered a critical failure.
01:07:42It sent Nemesis spinning even faster.
01:07:45Electrical grids are going down worldwide.
01:07:49What's going on?
01:07:50We just lost all power, sir.
01:07:51Heat.
01:07:52Gone.
01:07:54Okay, gather everybody into the control room to conserve heat and reroute any battery power we have to comms.
01:08:01Come on!
01:08:02We have to launch another assembly.
01:08:04We only prepared the one.
01:08:07What else you got?
01:08:08I don't know. The planet is freezing.
01:08:10People are dying and everything we do seems to be making it worse.
01:08:12I just need a minute!
01:08:14We have mass engines.
01:08:16A few shorter than I'd like.
01:08:19We can push a little.
01:08:21Maybe enough to give Earth a little breathing room.
01:08:23Keep it surviving for a little bit longer.
01:08:25What's going on?
01:08:26Property assist fake.
01:08:28We burn the spin and make the torque.
01:08:31But if we...
01:08:37We reroute all the fuel from the reserve tanks.
01:08:41We might be able to act as a propulsion assembly ourselves.
01:08:47That's a one-way ticket, Doc.
01:08:51There's no going home.
01:08:55Humanity's fate is in our hands.
01:08:57How can we let fear stop us?
01:09:02Okay.
01:09:05Okay.
01:09:14Alright, I can build a micro burn ladder to increase our thrust ratio.
01:09:18It's not as good as Tina's code that it'll do.
01:09:21Alright, we'll ride the edge of Nemesis's field.
01:09:24Less fuel, more leverage.
01:09:26Things might get Harry's trapped in a dock.
01:09:29Hey, General.
01:09:31We're initiating an emergency micro burns to attempt to replace an propulsion assembly.
01:09:35We're not going down without a fight.
01:09:39Understood.
01:09:40We'll do what we can down here.
01:09:42Godspeed.
01:09:43I'll be there, General.
01:09:54We've actually made some great time.
01:09:55Thanks for everyone being evacuated.
01:09:57Yeah.
01:09:59How much further?
01:10:00Depends on just across the river.
01:10:03In about ten minutes if we'll look.
01:10:05Okay.
01:10:10Goddammit!
01:10:11What?
01:10:14I'd have to say it.
01:10:16What?
01:10:17Look.
01:10:24Dad, we're out of time.
01:10:25How are we going to get to the Pentagon now?
01:10:28Alright.
01:10:29Better cross to Washington's Monument Plaza and pick up the bridge on the other side of the river.
01:10:33Alright?
01:10:35Jesus!
01:10:39Uh, Dad?
01:10:41Dad, it's about to break on us!
01:10:42Hold on!
01:10:50Hey.
01:10:51Hey.
01:10:52Hey.
01:10:53Hey.
01:10:53You okay?
01:10:54Alright.
01:10:58Come on.
01:11:02Goddammit.
01:11:04There's no way.
01:11:06There's no way.
01:11:06You have to start again.
01:11:10Dad.
01:11:13You need to get this to Mom.
01:11:16You can't just die for nothing.
01:11:18Okay.
01:11:18I know, sweetie.
01:11:19Me too.
01:11:28No way.
01:11:31Alright.
01:11:32We'll pack your gear.
01:11:33Alright?
01:11:34We got a shot.
01:11:35What?
01:11:36Follow me.
01:11:39Alright.
01:11:49You good?
01:11:50Yeah.
01:11:53Come on.
01:11:56Come on.
01:11:56Where are we going?
01:11:59To save the future, alright?
01:12:11I don't know about this, Dad.
01:12:13It looks really old.
01:12:18Where are the computers?
01:12:21Look.
01:12:22Maybe the panel.
01:12:24Come on.
01:12:26Yes.
01:12:30I'm good to upload from here.
01:12:36And then all I need to do is just finish this upload to the general and we can get it
01:12:40to Mom.
01:12:41Just a few more commands.
01:12:57It's working.
01:13:06It's working.
01:13:08Comms are back.
01:13:11The Toolik station upload is resumed.
01:13:12Okay.
01:13:13Port all the data over to my work station so I can start compiling before we do the burst transmission
01:13:16over to Dream Chaser 1.
01:13:18It won't be easy to manually compile that much data.
01:13:21I'm a Space Force general.
01:13:23I was a computer engineer long before I was an astronaut.
01:13:26Okay.
01:13:27I'm gonna transfer.
01:13:28Reserve fuel to our main tanks to power the main thrusters.
01:13:32How are the avionics coming?
01:13:33Great.
01:13:34Tina worked fast and the general has been uploading the compiled version to our nav comp system.
01:13:40Tweaking the code to maximize the burn and get the most power we can out of this ship.
01:13:44Excellent.
01:13:45Let me know when it's locked in, okay?
01:13:46Copy that.
01:13:50You know, it's...
01:13:53It's a little cliche.
01:13:55My, uh, personal life and military life of this pursuit.
01:14:02I am so busy with the world that I just didn't focus on my own personal life.
01:14:16Main thrusters takes full, prepped, ready.
01:14:21Seems like you have a lovely family.
01:14:24You know, I worked really hard to get to my position at NASA.
01:14:28Long work hours, dissertations, sacrifice, you know.
01:14:35But nothing compares to the moment that I held Tina in my arms for the first time.
01:14:44God.
01:14:45She gave meaning to my life in a way my job never did.
01:14:53When you hold that baby in your arms for the first time,
01:14:59God, there's nothing like it.
01:15:06You would do anything to protect that little life.
01:15:10Even if it means sacrificing your own.
01:15:19Vote is compiled and uploaded with all my tweaks to get the best burn.
01:15:25Looks like we're ready to light this candle.
01:15:31I'm priming the fuel lines.
01:15:41Damn!
01:15:41What?
01:15:43I, I, I forgot.
01:15:45The valves in the CEV.
01:15:47You scramble back there and check the gauge and close the valve.
01:15:50Otherwise, the fail safes will prioritize the fuel to the lipo, not the mains.
01:15:55Yeah, you got it.
01:16:01Okay, what am I looking for?
01:16:03It's a fuel gauge.
01:16:05Port side, literally right next to the joystick.
01:16:12Oh, found it.
01:16:13Good thing two tanks full.
01:16:16We'll need to transfer it to the mains.
01:16:27You'll need her to get home.
01:16:30Go find your baby.
01:16:32Don't let anything bad happen to her.
01:16:34No!
01:16:36Let me out!
01:16:37Captain!
01:16:38Help!
01:16:46Tina, the door won't butch.
01:16:49I just asked you to shut.
01:16:54Our best shot.
01:16:55What happened?
01:16:57To huddle together and conserve our heat.
01:17:00Alright?
01:17:01Yeah.
01:17:03At least we got the code to Mom.
01:17:06She's gonna fix things.
01:17:09Hey.
01:17:10I'm proud of you.
01:17:12You showed real bravery today on you.
01:17:14And it's gonna be okay.
01:17:16Alright?
01:17:17Mom and I promised.
01:17:29Captain!
01:17:30Come in! Come in!
01:17:32Thank you, Doctor.
01:17:35This would not have been possible without you up here with me.
01:17:39It's your heavenly safe home.
01:17:40Godspeed.
01:17:43Over and out.
01:17:44Oh.
01:17:48Capcom.
01:17:49Chase for one Dr. Ben is on the lifeboat on her way home.
01:17:53I'm taking control authority and committing to push.
01:17:58I understand, Captain.
01:18:01I won't say goodbye.
01:18:04Fly well.
01:18:07Aye, sir.
01:18:13Alright, Nemesis...
01:18:16Let's dance.
01:18:23Come on.
01:18:25Come on.
01:18:29Come on.
01:18:31Come on.
01:18:31Come on.
01:18:32Come on.
01:18:33Come on.
01:18:34Come on.
01:18:34Come on.
01:18:42He's doing it.
01:18:44He's moving Nemesis and shifting Earth's axis back.
01:18:52God bless you, Captain.
01:19:15God bless you.
01:19:51General, we made the splashdown.
01:19:54I'm alive.
01:19:56Dr. Bennett.
01:19:58Welcome home.
01:20:14It's so warm.
01:20:21General?
01:20:22He did it.
01:20:24Nemesis is outbound.
01:20:25Earth will fall.
01:20:27He made it count.
