Wasn't an official inquest launched? 449 00:40:59,585 --> 00:41:02,838 No. The incident was contemporary news with our discovery 450 00:41:02,921 --> 00:41:05,048 that the Genetic Dynasty had been corrupted. 451 00:41:05,132 --> 00:41:08,051 So we got distracted and dropped the ball. 452 00:41:09,636 --> 00:41:12,014 I'm recording this message via a neural implant. 453 00:41:12,097 --> 00:41:14,892 An Anacreon war party sabotaged the comms buoy 454 00:41:14,975 --> 00:41:16,977 and were laying in wait for us on Terminus. 455 00:41:17,060 --> 00:41:21,857 My crew is dead. They have taken myself and a handful of Foundationers hostage. 456 00:41:22,399 --> 00:41:25,652 The Anacreons have located a derelict war ship called the Invictus. 457 00:41:25,736 --> 00:41:28,739 Apparently, its jump drives are still active... 458 00:41:28,822 --> 00:41:32,451 Crying for help into the void. Even your last living action is weak. 459 00:41:36,205 --> 00:41:38,874 We know they successfully boarded the Invictus. 460 00:41:38,957 --> 00:41:41,043 The commander's implant recorded that. 461 00:41:41,126 --> 00:41:42,753 He was killed shortly thereafter. 462 00:41:42,836 --> 00:41:44,254 This was more than a century ago? 463 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,799 Even if they did take command of it, they wouldn't have had Spacers. 464 00:41:47,883 --> 00:41:49,510 The ancient fleet did not use Spacers. 465 00:41:49,593 --> 00:41:53,722 The ships were too ungainly compared to our current vessels, 466 00:41:53,805 --> 00:41:55,599 and the jumps were very violent. 467 00:41:55,682 --> 00:41:58,435 Fine. So the Anacreons got their hands on some working jumpship, 468 00:41:59,561 --> 00:42:01,647 but clearly, they didn't use them. 469 00:42:02,314 --> 00:42:04,358 The Outer Reach has been dark since we cut it loose. 470 00:42:04,441 --> 00:42:08,362 What if that darkness was by design, rather than desperation? 471 00:42:09,363 --> 00:42:12,866 Spectral reconnaissance has confirmed there was no mega-flare. 472 00:42:16,620 --> 00:42:18,497 After receiving this transmission, 473 00:42:18,580 --> 00:42:21,041 I checked the reports of our observers in the Periphery. 474 00:42:21,834 --> 00:42:24,920 There have been rumors of an alliance at the edge of the galaxy, 475 00:42:25,420 --> 00:42:29,258 led by magicians who glow in the darkness and fly unaided through the air, 476 00:42:29,341 --> 00:42:30,926 and whom weapons cannot touch. 477 00:42:31,009 --> 00:42:33,220 Who speak of a galactic spirit 478 00:42:33,303 --> 00:42:36,932 who will return and guide his people to a promised new age. 479 00:42:37,015 --> 00:42:42,020 Seldon. So you're saying his Foundation never withered away, they flourished? 480 00:42:42,104 --> 00:42:44,314 We should never have let them go. 481 00:42:45,107 --> 00:42:47,526 Only Empire commands the stars. 482 00:42:48,235 --> 00:42:49,862 Crush them. Now. 483 00:42:50,445 --> 00:42:52,573 Not yet, Empire. 484 00:42:52,656 --> 00:42:57,119 You bring us this, and then you counsel restraint? 485 00:42:57,202 --> 00:43:00,706 I do. The implications demand investigation. 486 00:43:00,789 --> 00:43:04,501 But waging a war based on unproven innuendo strikes me as an ill wind. 487 00:43:04,585 --> 00:43:09,798 I'd rather not revisit the lessons gleaned after the bombing of Anacreon and Thespis. 488 00:43:10,382 --> 00:43:13,260 She's right. We'll let the Foundation keep on playing dead 489 00:43:13,343 --> 00:43:16,430 while we determine how far their influence extends. 490 00:43:16,513 --> 00:43:19,349 Has the rot taken a few outwardly branches, 491 00:43:20,851 --> 00:43:22,769 or has it spread to the trunk? 492 00:43:24,271 --> 00:43:26,982 Our tree does seem to be embattled, doesn't it? 493 00:43:27,900 --> 00:43:30,652 Magicians, Angels, 494 00:43:32,321 --> 00:43:34,239 provisional brides. 495 00:43:34,323 --> 00:43:38,452 Everyone hacking away at our branches. 496 00:43:40,996 --> 00:43:43,165 Get your house in order, brother. 497 00:43:53,759 --> 00:43:55,886 I'm so glad you worked out who I am 498 00:43:55,969 --> 00:43:57,804 so I can stop speaking in meter. 499 00:43:58,472 --> 00:44:02,184 It's lovely for writing, but so very awkward for speaking. 500 00:44:02,267 --> 00:44:06,104 You're not Kalle, are you? Any more than you were Yanna. 501 00:44:07,314 --> 00:44:12,903 You've got parts of both of them in you, but you're something else. 502 00:44:14,655 --> 00:44:15,822 Something new. 503 00:44:16,657 --> 00:44:17,658 Something new. 504 00:44:19,535 --> 00:44:20,619 Say it. 505 00:44:22,871 --> 00:44:23,997 Are you the Radiant? 506 00:44:24,873 --> 00:44:26,208 Show your work. 507 00:44:26,291 --> 00:44:28,961 The Prime Radiant has Yanna's math in it 508 00:44:29,044 --> 00:44:31,338 and Kalle's, of course, from a distance. 509 00:44:31,421 --> 00:44:35,467 It's an adaptive, predictive four-dimensional model 510 00:44:35,551 --> 00:44:36,552 that takes in new data. 511 00:44:36,635 --> 00:44:41,431 It learns, but that's different from having self-awareness 512 00:44:41,515 --> 00:44:43,809 or an inherited memory of either women. 513 00:44:43,892 --> 00:44:48,814 If the model developed purpose-driven behavior, acquired agency... 514 00:44:48,897 --> 00:44:51,817 No, it can't do that, not based on the parameters I designed. 515 00:44:51,900 --> 00:44:54,111 But you're not the only designer. 516 00:44:54,194 --> 00:44:57,489 As you said, Kalle and Yanna contributed. 517 00:44:57,573 --> 00:44:59,658 Your work was always incomplete. 518 00:45:00,450 --> 00:45:02,786 Perhaps I am its completion. 519 00:45:06,415 --> 00:45:09,710 If you're the Prime Radiant, what's your goal? 520 00:45:09,793 --> 00:45:12,796 I have a vested interest in humanity's destiny. 521 00:45:13,297 --> 00:45:15,174 Oh, well, that's worrying. 522 00:45:16,133 --> 00:45:19,553 I wish you'd say you had a vested interest in our survival. 523 00:45:19,636 --> 00:45:21,430 Isn't it the same thing? 524 00:45:21,513 --> 00:45:23,682 It isn't.

It's not good. 544 00:47:31,185 --> 00:47:32,728 The Beggar was able to self-heal the breach, 545 00:47:32,811 --> 00:47:35,022 but there's a fault somewhere in the avionics. 546 00:47:35,105 --> 00:47:37,733 - How long will it take to find? - I don't know. It's all ones and zeros. 547 00:47:37,816 --> 00:47:39,484 It could take months to sort through the opcode. 548 00:47:39,568 --> 00:47:40,569 We don't even have hours. 549 00:47:44,156 --> 00:47:45,616 You have to let him out, Gaal. 550 00:47:45,699 --> 00:47:47,659 - No. - He's a digital ghost. 551 00:47:47,743 --> 00:47:49,953 We let him loose, he'll probably find the fault in seconds. 552 00:47:50,037 --> 00:47:52,497 I can't. Hari and I didn't part on good terms. 553 00:47:52,581 --> 00:47:53,749 It's too risky. 554 00:47:53,832 --> 00:47:57,002 Look at where we are. He's our only chance to get off Synnax. 555 00:47:57,085 --> 00:47:59,505 What use are we to the Plan if we're dead? 556 00:47:59,588 --> 00:48:01,465 Gaal Dornick! 557 00:48:08,222 --> 00:48:11,225 It's time you and I had a reckoning.
