1
00:01:50,089 --> 00:01:52,792
- 1900 hours, cruising as before.

2
00:01:53,843 --> 00:01:58,848
1900 hours,
cruising as before, so noted.

3
00:02:01,016 --> 00:02:02,016
- Evening,

4
00:02:03,185 --> 00:02:04,845
anything interesting?

5
00:02:04,895 --> 00:02:07,231
- Just keeping an eye on our course.

6
00:02:07,398 --> 00:02:09,358
Marcus has me as acting navigator

7
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,402
since we ended up shorthanded.

8
00:02:12,653 --> 00:02:13,604
- How about young Royce,

9
00:02:13,654 --> 00:02:14,780
how's he doing?

10
00:02:15,906 --> 00:02:17,491
- Well enough.

11
00:02:17,908 --> 00:02:20,444
You know, it's morning
back home right now.

12
00:02:20,494 --> 00:02:21,195
- Homesick?

13
00:02:21,245 --> 00:02:22,413
- Of course not,

14
00:02:23,372 --> 00:02:24,657
- I do loathe children.

15
00:02:24,707 --> 00:02:26,534
That bad?

16
00:02:26,584 --> 00:02:28,744
- He needs some discipline
kicked into him.

17
00:02:28,794 --> 00:02:29,794
But I'll admit,

18
00:02:29,837 --> 00:02:30,621
it will be nice to have

19
00:02:30,671 --> 00:02:32,190
a dedicated electronic warfare specialist

20
00:02:32,214 --> 00:02:32,998
with us this time.

21
00:02:33,883 --> 00:02:35,668
Conn, SepMOD.

22
00:02:35,718 --> 00:02:36,802
- Conn, aye.

23
00:02:38,053 --> 00:02:41,132
- Strobing contact bearing 040 by 022.

24
00:02:41,182 --> 00:02:44,135
Distance approximately
2.5 million Ahrimans.

25
00:02:44,185 --> 00:02:45,344
- ID?

26
00:02:45,394 --> 00:02:47,847
It looked clean
until about 15 seconds ago.

27
00:02:47,897 --> 00:02:50,015
Now I'm getting flashes
of a scrambled signal.

28
00:02:50,065 --> 00:02:52,685
She looks to pass close at
present course and speed

29
00:02:52,735 --> 00:02:55,613
about 1,100 Ahrimans off our
starboard side, high to low.

30
00:02:56,197 --> 00:02:58,232
Mr. Barrows?

31
00:02:58,282 --> 00:02:59,942
- Mr. Masterson?

32
00:02:59,992 --> 00:03:01,777
- Shall we go to quarters?

33
00:03:01,827 --> 00:03:04,655
- Well, that's the kind of
decision you were hired to make.

34
00:03:04,705 --> 00:03:05,489
- Sir?

35
00:03:05,539 --> 00:03:06,490
- Choice is yours.

36
00:03:06,540 --> 00:03:09,243
Have it sounded or call
the captain and ask him.

37
00:03:09,293 --> 00:03:10,687
- Abner, I'm the XO, I should really...

38
00:03:10,711 --> 00:03:12,663
- No, you really shouldn't.

39
00:03:12,713 --> 00:03:13,857
Give him a chance to earn his pay.

40
00:03:14,715 --> 00:03:15,499
Conn SepMOD,

41
00:03:15,549 --> 00:03:17,376
contact confirmed as blacklisted ship.

42
00:03:17,426 --> 00:03:20,296
We have full legal authority
to destroy or seize.

43
00:03:20,346 --> 00:03:22,514
Designating contact as 'Target One.'

44
00:03:25,392 --> 00:03:26,644
- Time's wasting mister.

45
00:03:28,187 --> 00:03:29,889
- Sound general quarters,

46
00:03:29,939 --> 00:03:31,390
all hands to battle stations.

47
00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:39,424
- Abner, he really should
have deferred to me

48
00:03:39,448 --> 00:03:42,868
after all I am the executive
officer of this ship.

49
00:03:46,288 --> 00:03:48,666
- Of course, you're absolutely right.

50
00:03:54,588 --> 00:03:55,789
- Magazines manned and ready.

51
00:03:55,839 --> 00:03:57,917
- Hydra One mount
reports manned and ready.

52
00:03:57,967 --> 00:03:59,627
- Cobra mount reports manned and ready.

53
00:03:59,677 --> 00:04:01,086
- Hydra Two manned and ready.

54
00:04:01,136 --> 00:04:02,755
- Quad mount reports manned and ready.

55
00:04:02,805 --> 00:04:04,590
- Hydra Twin mount
reports manned and ready.

56
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,592
- All guns manned and ready.

57
00:04:08,811 --> 00:04:09,637
- What's happening?

58
00:04:09,687 --> 00:04:10,888
Why are we at the quarters?

59
00:04:10,938 --> 00:04:12,514
- New contact Captain,

60
00:04:12,564 --> 00:04:13,667
high on the bow to starboard.

61
00:04:13,691 --> 00:04:14,942
It's blacklisted.

62
00:04:15,985 --> 00:04:18,529
- Why was I informed by
the alarms instead of you?

63
00:04:19,405 --> 00:04:20,522
- I considered...

64
00:04:20,572 --> 00:04:21,865
- Then why didn't you?

65
00:04:24,368 --> 00:04:25,986
We'll talk about this later.

66
00:04:26,036 --> 00:04:28,072
I have the Conn, threat board on one.

67
00:04:29,164 --> 00:04:30,475
Combat condition,

68
00:04:30,499 --> 00:04:32,034
sealing pressure doors.

69
00:04:35,004 --> 00:04:37,081
- She'll pass right abeam of us.

70
00:04:37,131 --> 00:04:39,041
- Couldn't ask for a better setup.

71
00:04:39,091 --> 00:04:41,043
- SepMOD, distance to target.

72
00:04:41,093 --> 00:04:42,153
Contact has closed distance

73
00:04:42,177 --> 00:04:43,212
to 2 million Ahrimans.

74
00:04:43,262 --> 00:04:46,006
Speed is constant at 200,000 APH.

75
00:04:46,056 --> 00:04:47,424
- She's drifting.

76
00:04:47,474 --> 00:04:49,051
Trying to sneak through undetected.

77
00:04:49,101 --> 00:04:51,303
- Who generated the blacklist warrant?

78
00:04:51,353 --> 00:04:52,455
The Arkwright family.

79
00:04:58,569 --> 00:05:00,354
- The Arkwrights?

80
00:05:00,404 --> 00:05:02,698
We're collecting bounties
for those beasts?

81
00:05:04,116 --> 00:05:05,826
- Keep those thoughts to yourself.

82
00:05:06,994 --> 00:05:09,863
If you need a reason this
means serious prize money.

83
00:05:19,548 --> 00:05:20,749
- Maneuvering, Conn.

84
00:05:20,799 --> 00:05:23,294
Bring the reactor to 100%.

85
00:05:23,344 --> 00:05:26,255
Stand by to commence
flank speed operations.

86
00:05:26,305 --> 00:05:27,965
- Max output, aye.

87
00:05:28,015 --> 00:05:30,718
Reactors one and two, latch
the rods and lift to the stops.

88
00:05:30,768 --> 00:05:32,386
- Aye, sir, latching and lifting.

89
00:05:41,111 --> 00:05:43,814
- We could try pushing her a little bit.

90
00:05:43,864 --> 00:05:44,648
- Not this time,

91
00:05:44,698 --> 00:05:46,992
let's see how she handles
ordinary combat first.

92
00:05:47,910 --> 00:05:49,778
- Helm, correct course and angle

93
00:05:49,828 --> 00:05:51,405
to match the target.

94
00:05:51,455 --> 00:05:52,823
And prepare to reverse.

95
00:05:52,873 --> 00:05:54,783
- Aye, sir, adjusting course.

96
00:06:06,762 --> 00:06:09,340
- Contact has closed distance
to 1.4 million Ahrimans.

97
00:06:10,224 --> 00:06:12,009
Stand by... confirmed classification,

98
00:06:12,059 --> 00:06:13,927
Bolton Class freighter.

99
00:06:13,977 --> 00:06:15,771
Looks like she's even older than we are.

100
00:06:18,148 --> 00:06:19,725
- Focus on your jobs, please.

101
00:06:19,775 --> 00:06:21,101
Let's not have her getting away.

102
00:06:22,027 --> 00:06:24,154
Target course matched.

103
00:06:25,114 --> 00:06:26,231
- All back standard.

104
00:06:26,281 --> 00:06:28,158
- Aye, sir, all back standard.

105
00:06:40,003 --> 00:06:41,455
- Nice and smooth.

106
00:06:41,505 --> 00:06:43,207
- Just like my dad's clipper.

107
00:06:43,257 --> 00:06:44,333
- Burn up 20%.

108
00:06:44,383 --> 00:06:45,626
Burn up 20%, aye.

109
00:06:45,676 --> 00:06:46,820
Contact approaching steady.

110
00:06:52,474 --> 00:06:53,258
- After this patrol,

111
00:06:53,308 --> 00:06:55,227
you should come on another trip with us.

112
00:06:56,061 --> 00:06:57,061
- Um...

113
00:06:57,146 --> 00:06:58,248
Yeah, that sounds nice

114
00:06:58,272 --> 00:07:00,015
but this freighter won't catch itself.

115
00:07:00,065 --> 00:07:01,084
What's she doing?

116
00:07:01,108 --> 00:07:02,708
She should be trying to evade us by now.

117
00:07:03,569 --> 00:07:04,712
Captain, target
has increased speed

118
00:07:04,736 --> 00:07:07,147
to 201,000 APH and is accelerating.

119
00:07:07,197 --> 00:07:08,482
- She's gunning it, Marcus!

120
00:07:08,532 --> 00:07:10,150
- All hands brace.

121
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,200
Flank reverse!

122
00:07:18,584 --> 00:07:20,744
Don't call me by first
name in front of the men.

123
00:07:20,794 --> 00:07:23,539
Captain, target
one is veering to starboard.

124
00:07:23,589 --> 00:07:25,916
- Cut burn to 80%.

125
00:07:25,966 --> 00:07:27,668
Full burn on port,

126
00:07:27,718 --> 00:07:31,755
three quarters on starboard
bow tips for 15 seconds.

127
00:07:45,194 --> 00:07:48,939
Comms, transmit a desist
order and identify us.

128
00:07:48,989 --> 00:07:51,366
Cobra mount, prepare a
warning shot over her bow.

129
00:07:53,452 --> 00:07:55,946
Chief, the threat board just went out.

130
00:07:55,996 --> 00:07:57,406
- Recycling the input, sir.

131
00:07:57,456 --> 00:07:59,616
Conn, Target
One is slowing down now.

132
00:07:59,666 --> 00:08:01,618
Attention all passengers,

133
00:08:01,668 --> 00:08:03,662
the new year has arrived!

134
00:08:03,712 --> 00:08:06,915
The party is in full swing on C deck!

135
00:08:06,965 --> 00:08:08,375
Where are you?

136
00:08:08,425 --> 00:08:10,461
Get on down and join the celebration!

137
00:08:10,511 --> 00:08:11,295
- What is that?

138
00:08:11,345 --> 00:08:12,588
Who is playing that?

139
00:08:12,638 --> 00:08:13,698
- I'm sorry Captain it's...

140
00:08:13,722 --> 00:08:14,506
- What are you doing?

141
00:08:14,556 --> 00:08:16,133
- It's part of an old system.

142
00:08:16,183 --> 00:08:18,218
A virtual personality for tourists.

143
00:08:18,268 --> 00:08:19,219
Her name's Claire,

144
00:08:19,269 --> 00:08:21,305
some of our components
were purchased second hand

145
00:08:21,355 --> 00:08:22,731
off of an old cruise liner.

146
00:08:22,814 --> 00:08:25,017
- We encountered her
during the shakedown run.

147
00:08:25,067 --> 00:08:27,769
Captain Timmons had all
of her code removed.

148
00:08:27,819 --> 00:08:29,980
I don't see how she can
still be functioning.

149
00:08:30,030 --> 00:08:31,231
Stars and garters,

150
00:08:31,281 --> 00:08:33,901
have we got the event of a
lifetime lined up for you!

151
00:08:33,951 --> 00:08:36,403
Captain, target slowing further.

152
00:08:36,453 --> 00:08:37,621
- Shut her up.

153
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:41,158
- Marc... Captain I think
he's trying to back down

154
00:08:41,208 --> 00:08:42,409
and run the other way.

155
00:08:42,459 --> 00:08:43,710
- Shut her OFF!

156
00:08:45,546 --> 00:08:46,872
Fire the warning shot!

157
00:08:46,922 --> 00:08:47,922
- Cobra mount, fire!

158
00:08:51,176 --> 00:08:52,612
No change in target course.

159
00:08:52,636 --> 00:08:55,672
- All hands brace, reverse thrust.

160
00:08:55,722 --> 00:08:56,722
All ahead one quarter.

161
00:08:56,765 --> 00:08:57,549
Aye, sir.

162
00:09:10,529 --> 00:09:12,864
- Mr. Saverin, please
prepare to disable her.

163
00:09:14,616 --> 00:09:15,776
Fire at her with, uh,

164
00:09:15,826 --> 00:09:17,486
I think half shots will do the trick.

165
00:09:23,458 --> 00:09:25,160
- All guns target her forward engines.

166
00:09:25,210 --> 00:09:26,995
Hydra One, load half shots.

167
00:09:27,045 --> 00:09:29,206
- Comms, any acknowledgement yet?

168
00:09:29,256 --> 00:09:30,316
- It's a little funny, Captain.

169
00:09:30,340 --> 00:09:32,042
We may have just heard a channel open,

170
00:09:32,092 --> 00:09:34,670
then close again, nothing further.

171
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,173
- Very well, disable
her please Mr Saverin.

172
00:09:38,223 --> 00:09:39,633
- Hydra One, fire.

173
00:09:39,683 --> 00:09:40,759
- Fire.

174
00:09:43,687 --> 00:09:45,472
- Weapon missed, leading target.

175
00:09:45,522 --> 00:09:46,473
Adjust to minus 4.

176
00:09:46,523 --> 00:09:47,808
- Adjust and fire.

177
00:09:53,155 --> 00:09:54,231
- Adjust and fire.

178
00:09:54,281 --> 00:09:56,233
- Adjusting minus 4, firing!

179
00:10:01,204 --> 00:10:02,155
- Hit, Captain.

180
00:10:02,205 --> 00:10:04,866
- Confirmed, target's forward
engines appear to be disabled.

181
00:10:04,916 --> 00:10:06,368
She's spinning free.

182
00:10:06,418 --> 00:10:08,370
- Helm, cease forward thrust,

183
00:10:08,420 --> 00:10:09,955
burn reverse at one quarter.

184
00:10:10,005 --> 00:10:12,332
25 second burn,

185
00:10:12,382 --> 00:10:13,417
bring us alongside,

186
00:10:13,467 --> 00:10:15,627
we'll extend the MAG at 1,000 yards.

187
00:10:15,677 --> 00:10:16,587
Call it out Foley.

188
00:10:16,637 --> 00:10:17,754
Aye sir.

189
00:10:17,804 --> 00:10:19,298
- Mr. Royce, can we open their doors

190
00:10:19,348 --> 00:10:20,992
or do we have to do this
the old fashioned way?

191
00:10:21,016 --> 00:10:22,259
- It should be easy sir.

192
00:10:22,309 --> 00:10:24,803
They're shutting down
their communication systems

193
00:10:24,853 --> 00:10:26,539
like they think I'm gonna
hack them through that.

194
00:10:26,563 --> 00:10:28,515
They should be worried about the keyring.

195
00:10:28,565 --> 00:10:29,391
- Do we have a key?

196
00:10:29,441 --> 00:10:31,685
- I'm checking now, sir,
but it's gonna take a while.

197
00:10:31,735 --> 00:10:32,894
- You don't have a while.

198
00:10:32,944 --> 00:10:35,022
Helm, continue your approach.

199
00:10:35,072 --> 00:10:35,939
Let's get into position.

200
00:10:35,989 --> 00:10:37,133
This needs to be handled quickly.

201
00:10:37,991 --> 00:10:38,734
1,000 yards.

202
00:10:38,784 --> 00:10:39,818
Devil's distance captain.

203
00:10:39,868 --> 00:10:40,777
- Deploy the MAG.

204
00:10:48,210 --> 00:10:49,828
- Her rotation is slowing,

205
00:10:49,878 --> 00:10:51,213
she's dragging us with her.

206
00:11:05,143 --> 00:11:05,969
Five,

207
00:11:06,019 --> 00:11:07,019
four,

208
00:11:07,062 --> 00:11:07,846
three,

209
00:11:07,896 --> 00:11:08,972
two,

210
00:11:09,022 --> 00:11:09,806
one,

211
00:11:09,856 --> 00:11:11,558
- synchro.

212
00:11:11,608 --> 00:11:12,893
- Burn all tips to starboard.

213
00:11:12,943 --> 00:11:14,144
Reel us in.

214
00:11:19,825 --> 00:11:21,276
Extend the lock.

215
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,163
Prepare a boarding action and take charge.

216
00:11:25,414 --> 00:11:26,623
- Aye, Captain.

217
00:11:27,290 --> 00:11:29,284
All compartments prepare
for boarding action.

218
00:11:29,334 --> 00:11:32,579
Mr. Merchov, assemble
your men at Airlock 4.

219
00:11:34,256 --> 00:11:35,340
- Best of luck, Tom.

220
00:11:37,134 --> 00:11:39,094
- You too... Marcus.

221
00:11:49,020 --> 00:11:50,540
Target One is fighting the MAG.

222
00:11:50,564 --> 00:11:51,807
- Royce, key?

223
00:11:51,857 --> 00:11:52,933
- Yeah, I've got it!

224
00:11:52,983 --> 00:11:53,983
For a second there,

225
00:11:54,025 --> 00:11:55,503
I thought I'd have to magic one up...

226
00:11:55,527 --> 00:11:56,778
- Are we ready to breach?

227
00:11:57,654 --> 00:11:58,654
- Yes, sir.

228
00:12:02,701 --> 00:12:03,485
- All right boys,

229
00:12:03,535 --> 00:12:04,861
this is your first engagement.

230
00:12:04,911 --> 00:12:06,822
Remember your training
and put it into practice.

231
00:12:06,872 --> 00:12:08,015
Prepare to take your first trophies.

232
00:12:08,039 --> 00:12:10,125
Taham tan zanam!

233
00:12:10,417 --> 00:12:11,436
- Just stay where you are Mr. Hess,

234
00:12:11,460 --> 00:12:13,161
we've got this in hand.

235
00:12:13,211 --> 00:12:14,522
- The captain told me to take charge.

236
00:12:14,546 --> 00:12:16,790
- It's a mop up, not worth your attention.

237
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:17,749
- I have my orders.

238
00:12:22,262 --> 00:12:23,088
- Very well, sir.

239
00:12:23,972 --> 00:12:26,216
Pressurizing the walkway!

240
00:12:26,266 --> 00:12:27,050
Var Shaw!

241
00:12:31,521 --> 00:12:33,332
They've
dispersed through the air lock.

242
00:12:33,356 --> 00:12:35,276
Advancing towards the
bridge, Merchov commanding.

243
00:12:35,317 --> 00:12:36,711
Hamlin's fire team moving aft.

244
00:12:36,735 --> 00:12:38,403
Baldwin taking the crew quarters.

245
00:12:40,781 --> 00:12:42,482
Hamlin reports engineering secured,

246
00:12:42,532 --> 00:12:44,276
all hands in the space have surrendered.

247
00:12:44,326 --> 00:12:46,345
No resistance encountered
yet,  wait.

248
00:12:48,705 --> 00:12:51,199
Be advised, Baldwin has
encountered token resistance

249
00:12:51,249 --> 00:12:52,409
in the crew areas.

250
00:12:52,459 --> 00:12:53,960
Hamlin moving to assist.

251
00:12:55,045 --> 00:12:56,121
Nearing the bridge,

252
00:12:56,171 --> 00:12:57,422
approaching with caution.

253
00:13:01,927 --> 00:13:03,837
Anyone else see that...?

254
00:13:06,431 --> 00:13:08,016
Resistance at the bridge, two men down!

255
00:13:15,357 --> 00:13:17,609
Surrender!

256
00:13:18,276 --> 00:13:19,820
Surrender...

257
00:13:21,154 --> 00:13:23,281
One moment sir...

258
00:13:25,575 --> 00:13:27,652
Ship secure
captain, she's ours.

259
00:13:27,702 --> 00:13:29,196
- YEAH!

260
00:13:35,752 --> 00:13:38,580
- That's one prize to us.

261
00:13:38,630 --> 00:13:40,415
Link us up, we'll do a tandem brake.

262
00:13:40,465 --> 00:13:41,416
Take a manifest.

263
00:13:41,466 --> 00:13:42,717
I'll be up there shortly.

264
00:13:44,386 --> 00:13:45,971
Well done, XO.

265
00:13:51,476 --> 00:13:53,103
- Well done, XO.

266
00:14:12,205 --> 00:14:13,698
- Foodstuffs, indeed!

267
00:14:13,748 --> 00:14:16,376
He's got enough weapons
back there to take Brasilia.

268
00:14:17,586 --> 00:14:19,830
Arms for the war on Perkunas, maybe?

269
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,206
- Doesn't matter.

270
00:14:21,256 --> 00:14:23,291
These boys picked a fight
with the wrong oligarchs.

271
00:14:23,341 --> 00:14:26,169
- Wouldn't it be something if
these weapons were legitimate?

272
00:14:26,219 --> 00:14:28,046
I mean, I wouldn't put
it past the Arkwrights

273
00:14:28,096 --> 00:14:29,714
to file a false claim.

274
00:14:29,764 --> 00:14:31,424
- Odds are they're stolen.

275
00:14:31,474 --> 00:14:32,717
They're from Hoplon Arms

276
00:14:32,767 --> 00:14:34,511
and if you notice
somebody had a little fun

277
00:14:34,561 --> 00:14:35,887
with the serial numbers.

278
00:14:35,937 --> 00:14:37,430
- How do you know it's Hoplon?

279
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:38,265
- I almost bought from them

280
00:14:38,315 --> 00:14:40,350
when we were outfitting our own marines.

281
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:41,400
Good value for money

282
00:14:41,443 --> 00:14:43,645
but unfortunately their
Yankee founder won't have

283
00:14:43,695 --> 00:14:45,814
any business with independent colonials.

284
00:14:45,864 --> 00:14:48,108
- Your scholar's memory
serves us well, Captain.

285
00:14:48,158 --> 00:14:49,468
- You should have seen him in school,

286
00:14:49,492 --> 00:14:52,195
he could recite books from front to back.

287
00:14:52,245 --> 00:14:54,823
- Captain, Arkwright
vessel "Peerless Diligence"

288
00:14:54,873 --> 00:14:57,375
is alongside requesting clearance to dock.

289
00:14:58,251 --> 00:14:59,494
- Granted.

290
00:15:05,342 --> 00:15:06,760
- So, are we sticking around?

291
00:15:08,470 --> 00:15:10,714
- Make my apologies to
their commander personally,

292
00:15:10,764 --> 00:15:13,675
after that, get all of
our men off this ship.

293
00:15:13,725 --> 00:15:15,518
I want to be out of here
as soon as possible.

294
00:15:44,798 --> 00:15:46,708
- Why did you let Masterson
take us to quarters

295
00:15:46,758 --> 00:15:48,293
without informing me?

296
00:15:48,343 --> 00:15:50,170
- It's a standard practice.

297
00:15:50,220 --> 00:15:51,739
He and the crew need to learn their jobs

298
00:15:51,763 --> 00:15:53,298
and how to work together.

299
00:15:53,348 --> 00:15:54,674
And how to work with the ship.

300
00:15:54,724 --> 00:15:56,635
- You put this crew together Abner,

301
00:15:56,685 --> 00:15:59,220
and now you're telling us
they still need an education?

302
00:15:59,270 --> 00:16:00,138
- Tom...

303
00:16:00,188 --> 00:16:02,349
- It's quite all right, sir.

304
00:16:02,399 --> 00:16:05,226
I did the best I could with
the budget you gave me.

305
00:16:05,276 --> 00:16:07,812
Yes, I personally know
several of the officers,

306
00:16:07,862 --> 00:16:10,824
but they don't all know each
other and they don't know you.

307
00:16:11,741 --> 00:16:13,511
Young greenhorns like
Masterson still need a chance

308
00:16:13,535 --> 00:16:15,445
to make up their own minds under pressure.

309
00:16:15,495 --> 00:16:16,905
- I understand.

310
00:16:16,955 --> 00:16:19,574
But I must insist on
being kept in the loop.

311
00:16:19,624 --> 00:16:20,700
- Of course.

312
00:16:20,750 --> 00:16:22,770
But your fire control officer
doesn't need your help

313
00:16:22,794 --> 00:16:23,995
to do his job.

314
00:16:24,045 --> 00:16:26,539
- It seemed like the
right thing in the moment.

315
00:16:26,589 --> 00:16:28,917
- Well that's why your
father sent me along,

316
00:16:28,967 --> 00:16:30,251
to advise you, sir.

317
00:16:30,301 --> 00:16:32,504
- And what exactly does
that mean, in practice?

318
00:16:32,554 --> 00:16:35,090
You stopped me from
giving Masterson an order;

319
00:16:35,140 --> 00:16:37,842
that's a good deal more
than mere advice...

320
00:16:37,892 --> 00:16:40,929
- It was an order you didn't
need to give but don't worry.

321
00:16:40,979 --> 00:16:42,665
I'll make sure you both
get back home quickly

322
00:16:42,689 --> 00:16:44,265
and in one piece.

323
00:16:44,315 --> 00:16:45,100
That's my job.

324
00:16:45,150 --> 00:16:46,643
- Your point is taken, Abner.

325
00:16:46,693 --> 00:16:48,570
And we'll work on this going forward.

326
00:16:50,572 --> 00:16:54,117
You know what's getting to
me is that... that voice.

327
00:16:55,118 --> 00:16:56,512
I understand that the ship's components

328
00:16:56,536 --> 00:16:58,913
came from unusual places, but...

329
00:16:59,164 --> 00:17:00,824
We can't have that.

330
00:17:00,874 --> 00:17:02,909
It's an embarrassment and it's dangerous.

331
00:17:02,959 --> 00:17:04,744
- Young Royce is weeding
her out as we speak.

332
00:17:04,794 --> 00:17:06,913
- Has he started his qualification course?

333
00:17:06,963 --> 00:17:10,125
I want every officer to
be able to stand watch.

334
00:17:10,175 --> 00:17:11,876
- If I may make a suggestion, captain,

335
00:17:11,926 --> 00:17:13,720
you might focus on today's victory.

336
00:17:14,971 --> 00:17:16,365
Today's prize is worth a fair penny,

337
00:17:16,389 --> 00:17:18,925
and we bagged it right out of the gate.

338
00:17:18,975 --> 00:17:22,854
And... it was an excellent
learning experience.

339
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:28,309
- Oh, that guy.

340
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,862
I don't even know why we
have to have him with us.

341
00:17:36,493 --> 00:17:37,869
- To a fine start.

342
00:17:43,875 --> 00:17:45,168
- I can hardly believe it.

343
00:17:45,418 --> 00:17:46,202
- Believe what?

344
00:17:46,252 --> 00:17:48,496
- What we just did. What you just did!

345
00:17:48,546 --> 00:17:50,290
I mean, you have this junk ship

346
00:17:50,340 --> 00:17:51,708
and a patched together crew...

347
00:17:51,758 --> 00:17:54,419
- It was easy pickings and the
marines did most of the work.

348
00:17:54,469 --> 00:17:57,305
- You've have the greenest
marine outfit available

349
00:17:57,347 --> 00:17:59,267
- The approach was perfect
right out of the gate.

350
00:17:59,307 --> 00:18:00,987
You couldn't have asked
for a better setup.

351
00:18:01,017 --> 00:18:03,261
- And you've apparently
got the luck of the Irish.

352
00:18:03,311 --> 00:18:05,138
And I'm also the youngest

353
00:18:05,188 --> 00:18:07,015
and least experienced commanding officer

354
00:18:07,065 --> 00:18:08,066
in the entire fleet.

355
00:18:10,485 --> 00:18:12,153
- Always the bright side with you.

356
00:18:20,620 --> 00:18:22,455
- What do you suppose Lydia's up to?

357
00:18:24,874 --> 00:18:26,242
- Counting the corpses on the ship

358
00:18:26,292 --> 00:18:28,128
that we just captured for her daddy?

359
00:18:30,004 --> 00:18:31,732
- That's why you're
thinking of her, isn't it?

360
00:18:31,756 --> 00:18:32,756
That ship.

361
00:18:33,049 --> 00:18:34,235
- Maybe things would be better

362
00:18:34,259 --> 00:18:36,052
if I just went back and married her.

363
00:18:37,887 --> 00:18:40,590
Was it prideful of me to
reject her father's offer?

364
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,259
- No. Your dad may have blown the fortune,

365
00:18:43,309 --> 00:18:45,762
but your family name
still means something.

366
00:18:45,812 --> 00:18:48,056
Abner certainly isn't here for the salary.

367
00:18:48,106 --> 00:18:49,750
- Yeah, we kind of blew
all the family favors

368
00:18:49,774 --> 00:18:51,017
on this trip, didn't we?

369
00:18:51,067 --> 00:18:52,602
- Better to exhaust all your options

370
00:18:52,652 --> 00:18:54,479
than get thrown with the Arkwrights.

371
00:18:54,529 --> 00:18:55,313
You marry Lydia

372
00:18:55,363 --> 00:18:57,258
and you're gonna be dangling
on the end of their strings

373
00:18:57,282 --> 00:18:58,300
for the rest of your life.

374
00:18:58,324 --> 00:19:00,819
- People will die for
our little enterprise.

375
00:19:00,869 --> 00:19:02,445
Two of our marines already did.

376
00:19:02,495 --> 00:19:06,282
They all take the risk: for
citizenship, for a career...

377
00:19:06,332 --> 00:19:09,285
for a little opportunity
to score some loot.

378
00:19:09,335 --> 00:19:11,996
- And don't forget us: here
to save the family farm.

379
00:19:12,046 --> 00:19:13,373
- We're here to prevent you

380
00:19:13,423 --> 00:19:16,501
from becoming some sort of mob husband.

381
00:19:16,551 --> 00:19:17,836
Learn to deal with Lydia later,

382
00:19:17,886 --> 00:19:19,846
and only if you have to.

383
00:19:21,639 --> 00:19:23,391
You about ready to open our orders?

384
00:19:27,896 --> 00:19:30,640
You'd have taken on that
freighter on your own, right?

385
00:19:30,690 --> 00:19:32,642
If Masterson hadn't
brought us to quarters?

386
00:19:32,692 --> 00:19:33,810
- Of course I would have.

387
00:19:33,860 --> 00:19:35,687
I told you, it was the perfect setup.

388
00:19:35,737 --> 00:19:36,521
- You know what?

389
00:19:36,571 --> 00:19:37,355
I didn't even need to ask.

390
00:19:37,405 --> 00:19:39,165
I could see it in your
eyes during the chase,

391
00:19:39,824 --> 00:19:41,109
We're all proud of you.

392
00:19:41,159 --> 00:19:42,652
Your dad's proud of you.

393
00:19:42,702 --> 00:19:45,655
We have to be aggressive out
here sometimes and you were.

394
00:19:45,705 --> 00:19:47,457
It was bold the way you handled it.

395
00:19:48,249 --> 00:19:49,417
Bold.

396
00:19:49,834 --> 00:19:50,660
A little more of that

397
00:19:50,710 --> 00:19:54,247
and you will avoid the cold
clutches of arranged matrimony.

398
00:19:54,297 --> 00:19:58,176
Unless that's... what you want?

399
00:20:02,931 --> 00:20:04,557
I'll leave you to it.

400
00:21:20,466 --> 00:21:22,106
Prize money on the first day!

401
00:21:23,678 --> 00:21:26,172
You know, I'm gonna get
my wife something nice

402
00:21:26,222 --> 00:21:27,548
when we get that bonus money.

403
00:21:27,598 --> 00:21:29,842
- Maybe this DeVol kids does
know a thing or two.

404
00:21:29,892 --> 00:21:32,178
Keeps up like this, we're
all going home loaded.

405
00:21:32,228 --> 00:21:33,429
- How about you, Abel?

406
00:21:33,479 --> 00:21:34,764
You got family back home?

407
00:21:34,814 --> 00:21:35,814
- Not really.

408
00:21:36,607 --> 00:21:37,934
- Sure you do.

409
00:21:37,984 --> 00:21:40,353
Who else would be on that
message you keep playing back

410
00:21:40,403 --> 00:21:42,105
when you don't think anyone's looking?

411
00:21:42,155 --> 00:21:43,898
- None of your business, Dimitri.

412
00:21:43,948 --> 00:21:45,467
- This ship needs a name, don't you think?

413
00:21:45,491 --> 00:21:46,859
- She's got a name.

414
00:21:46,909 --> 00:21:48,945
- Chimera's not much of a name for a lady.

415
00:21:48,995 --> 00:21:49,821
- She's scrap.

416
00:21:49,871 --> 00:21:50,655
- Scrap?

417
00:21:50,705 --> 00:21:52,182
Hell, she's our ticket
through Port Shelley.

418
00:21:52,206 --> 00:21:54,784
You know, the captain's father,
he's the governor there.

419
00:21:54,834 --> 00:21:57,578
He decides which folks did
enough to get citizenship.

420
00:21:57,628 --> 00:22:00,623
They say he's got a
reputation for generosity.

421
00:22:00,673 --> 00:22:02,592
- Yeah, shut up, Salles.

422
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,585
Shelley? She's tougher than she looks.

423
00:22:04,635 --> 00:22:07,722
- Shelley, like "Port Shelley." I
could get behind that.

424
00:22:08,014 --> 00:22:09,325
- Wait, we're just going
to call it Shelley?

425
00:22:09,349 --> 00:22:10,951
- I didn't know what we
were going to get into

426
00:22:10,975 --> 00:22:13,344
when I signed on, but
she's proven herself now.

427
00:22:13,394 --> 00:22:15,763
So what if her bits have mileage,

428
00:22:15,813 --> 00:22:17,724
they're well loved, they work.

429
00:22:17,774 --> 00:22:18,558
- So far.

430
00:22:18,608 --> 00:22:19,392
- I'm serious.

431
00:22:19,442 --> 00:22:20,961
- We're really just
going to call it Shelley?

432
00:22:20,985 --> 00:22:22,562
- I'm serious too.

433
00:22:22,612 --> 00:22:24,173
Didn't you hear the word out of the yards?

434
00:22:24,197 --> 00:22:24,981
What?

435
00:22:25,031 --> 00:22:25,815
Yeah, it's a captured ship

436
00:22:25,865 --> 00:22:28,067
repaired with pieces from
all kinds of other ships.

437
00:22:28,117 --> 00:22:30,445
- Not captured, salvaged.

438
00:22:30,495 --> 00:22:33,406
Two ships, they get different
halves blown off in battle.

439
00:22:33,456 --> 00:22:34,490
All hands lost.

440
00:22:34,540 --> 00:22:36,659
And the admiralty decides
to make the best of it

441
00:22:36,709 --> 00:22:38,703
by welding two ends together.

442
00:22:38,753 --> 00:22:41,414
Why do you think she's the
only hybrid class in the fleet?

443
00:22:41,464 --> 00:22:43,666
Ships like this get sold
at cheap foreign navies

444
00:22:43,716 --> 00:22:47,136
not commissioned as vessels of the State.

445
00:22:48,513 --> 00:22:51,391
- So you're saying that we're
sailing a pair of coffins?

446
00:22:52,100 --> 00:22:52,884
- I guess so.

447
00:22:52,934 --> 00:22:54,218
- I thought I smelled something.

448
00:22:54,268 --> 00:22:55,412
- You're full of crap, Salles.

449
00:22:55,436 --> 00:22:56,554
- Yeah, maybe that's it.

450
00:22:56,604 --> 00:22:59,474
- Hate to burst your dreams of
becoming respectable citizens

451
00:22:59,524 --> 00:23:01,934
but you can check it all out
for yourselves when we put in.

452
00:23:01,984 --> 00:23:04,354
It's incontrovertible.

453
00:23:04,404 --> 00:23:07,565
- incontra... where do you get off?

454
00:23:07,615 --> 00:23:09,025
You think you're so smart?

455
00:23:09,075 --> 00:23:11,194
You're just like the
rest of us, lonely peons.

456
00:23:11,244 --> 00:23:12,028
- That's not what I meant.

457
00:23:12,078 --> 00:23:13,279
- It is a little obnoxious.

458
00:23:13,329 --> 00:23:15,448
Just speak at a level
we can all appreciate.

459
00:23:15,498 --> 00:23:16,574
- Whatever.

460
00:23:16,624 --> 00:23:18,242
I fold.

461
00:23:18,292 --> 00:23:19,452
Philistines.

462
00:23:19,502 --> 00:23:20,870
- That's it, I've had it!

463
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:21,704
- Whoa.
- Hey, hey!

464
00:23:21,754 --> 00:23:22,538
It's not worth it.

465
00:23:22,588 --> 00:23:24,040
It's all right, man, take it easy.

466
00:23:24,090 --> 00:23:25,758
- Attention on deck!

467
00:23:30,763 --> 00:23:32,723
- What's all this about?

468
00:23:36,269 --> 00:23:37,520
- Nothing, sir.

469
00:23:39,814 --> 00:23:41,349
- Come with me, Salles.

470
00:23:41,399 --> 00:23:42,183
- Sir, I didn't-

471
00:23:42,233 --> 00:23:43,935
- You're being detached from gunnery.

472
00:23:43,985 --> 00:23:45,153
I need a new assistant.

473
00:23:46,028 --> 00:23:48,606
Mr. Saverin's already done the paperwork.

474
00:23:48,656 --> 00:23:50,191
Come on.

475
00:23:50,241 --> 00:23:51,826
Come on.

476
00:24:01,294 --> 00:24:04,122
- Okay, first off,

477
00:24:04,172 --> 00:24:06,124
it's important you understand something

478
00:24:06,174 --> 00:24:07,792
that your predecessor didn't.

479
00:24:07,842 --> 00:24:08,843
- What's that?

480
00:24:10,344 --> 00:24:11,429
- You know nothing.

481
00:24:13,598 --> 00:24:14,549
- Oh.

482
00:24:14,599 --> 00:24:17,844
- I can't waste time breaking
you of your assumptions.

483
00:24:17,894 --> 00:24:20,888
Aggregate displacement
confounds the best of minds.

484
00:24:20,938 --> 00:24:22,473
- Aggregate displacement?

485
00:24:22,523 --> 00:24:24,183
You mean the Static Shift Drive?

486
00:24:24,233 --> 00:24:25,893
Is that what I'll be working on?

487
00:24:25,943 --> 00:24:26,943
- That's right.

488
00:24:30,323 --> 00:24:32,525
- Never thought I'd worked
with an actual warp drive.

489
00:24:32,575 --> 00:24:34,360
Don't use the "W" word.

490
00:24:34,410 --> 00:24:35,945
We'll just laugh at you.

491
00:24:35,995 --> 00:24:39,115
Remember the first
lesson: you know nothing.

492
00:24:39,165 --> 00:24:40,199
- Right.

493
00:24:40,249 --> 00:24:42,535
You know, there's crazy rumors about SSDs.

494
00:24:42,585 --> 00:24:44,745
I always wondered what happens
if something goes wrong

495
00:24:44,795 --> 00:24:45,795
during a transit.

496
00:24:48,216 --> 00:24:51,043
- Best case, we end up off course

497
00:24:51,093 --> 00:24:53,262
due to a missed decimal
point or something.

498
00:24:54,263 --> 00:24:59,227
Worst case, our existences
explode across 16 dimensions.

499
00:24:59,894 --> 00:25:01,020
- Really?

500
00:25:01,646 --> 00:25:02,688
- No.

501
00:25:07,151 --> 00:25:08,151
Go on.

502
00:25:26,504 --> 00:25:27,747
Enough breadboards in there

503
00:25:27,797 --> 00:25:31,709
to make the whole crew
sandwiches. Open face.

504
00:25:31,759 --> 00:25:33,261
- You're a dork...

505
00:25:34,470 --> 00:25:35,470
sir.

506
00:25:36,514 --> 00:25:38,641
- Only a dork would enjoy this.

507
00:25:40,059 --> 00:25:41,969
- I can't pretend I'm not interested.

508
00:25:42,019 --> 00:25:43,688
- Then perhaps I've chosen well.

509
00:25:44,647 --> 00:25:45,647
Here,

510
00:25:46,774 --> 00:25:48,434
get in there and remove the condensation

511
00:25:48,484 --> 00:25:49,944
from between the components.

512
00:25:51,195 --> 00:25:52,522
And be careful.

513
00:25:52,572 --> 00:25:54,407
The boards don't like to be bumped.

514
00:25:57,034 --> 00:26:00,530
Okay, so aggregate displacement,

515
00:26:00,580 --> 00:26:03,115
simply put it's a theory
of quantum science

516
00:26:03,165 --> 00:26:04,867
that allows the ship
to move from one point

517
00:26:04,917 --> 00:26:06,661
in the universe to another.

518
00:26:06,711 --> 00:26:09,372
Given enough power and
the right computations,

519
00:26:09,422 --> 00:26:10,915
it can instantaneously move you

520
00:26:10,965 --> 00:26:13,334
to any point in the universe.

521
00:26:13,384 --> 00:26:14,384
- Any point?

522
00:26:14,427 --> 00:26:15,427
- Any.

523
00:26:15,469 --> 00:26:18,714
- Like, even a point
billions of light years away,

524
00:26:18,764 --> 00:26:19,950
where no one else has ever been?

525
00:26:19,974 --> 00:26:20,758
- Sure.

526
00:26:20,808 --> 00:26:22,677
The more power you can
squeeze through the tube

527
00:26:22,727 --> 00:26:25,221
without frying it, the farther you can go.

528
00:26:25,271 --> 00:26:26,472
Understand though,

529
00:26:26,522 --> 00:26:29,684
it takes a fair bit just to
hop a couple of light years.

530
00:26:29,734 --> 00:26:32,812
The whole process is
extraordinarily sensitive.

531
00:26:32,862 --> 00:26:33,938
- How's that work?

532
00:26:33,988 --> 00:26:36,482
- You know, those fundamental
horrors of the universe

533
00:26:36,532 --> 00:26:38,743
that can drive a man
mad if he learns them?

534
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:42,613
It's one of those.

535
00:26:50,921 --> 00:26:53,916
- I can't believe I'm working in here.

536
00:26:53,966 --> 00:26:55,485
I've heard people talk about guys like you

537
00:26:55,509 --> 00:26:56,510
like you're royalty.

538
00:26:57,595 --> 00:26:58,595
- We're just guys.

539
00:27:02,725 --> 00:27:03,725
- Sir..

540
00:27:06,062 --> 00:27:07,062
Thanks.

541
00:27:07,730 --> 00:27:08,598
I can't remember the last time

542
00:27:08,648 --> 00:27:11,100
someone really took a chance on me.

543
00:27:11,150 --> 00:27:12,193
You won't regret it.

544
00:27:13,653 --> 00:27:14,653
- No sweat.

545
00:27:15,571 --> 00:27:18,649
Anyway, for right now we're
just doing routine maintenance.

546
00:27:18,699 --> 00:27:20,776
We have to do this before every hop.

547
00:27:20,826 --> 00:27:22,278
- We're leaving the system?

548
00:27:22,328 --> 00:27:24,780
- Captain just told me to do my round.

549
00:27:24,830 --> 00:27:26,207
That usually means travel.

550
00:27:27,750 --> 00:27:29,619
- Gentlemen, we are no longer hunting down

551
00:27:29,669 --> 00:27:32,538
blacklists pirate ships to settle grudges.

552
00:27:32,588 --> 00:27:34,206
We can take prizes of opportunity,

553
00:27:34,256 --> 00:27:36,292
but our goal in mind is one ship.

554
00:27:36,342 --> 00:27:38,586
We are not a part of an
official fleet structure,

555
00:27:38,636 --> 00:27:41,213
but we are expected to
cooperate with other ships

556
00:27:41,263 --> 00:27:44,717
that have the same objective
in mind, allied or otherwise.

557
00:27:44,767 --> 00:27:46,177
- What kind of ship are we chasing?

558
00:27:46,227 --> 00:27:47,227
- We don't know.

559
00:27:49,772 --> 00:27:52,149
One of our allies was
able to take this picture.

560
00:27:53,984 --> 00:27:55,945
- Intelligence calls her the White Ship.

561
00:27:56,987 --> 00:27:59,824
She appears and attacks
ships seemingly at random.

562
00:28:01,325 --> 00:28:03,069
She bears no identifying markings

563
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,454
other than her distinctive
coat of white paint.

564
00:28:06,414 --> 00:28:09,659
- Captain, may I ask who
gave us this information?

565
00:28:09,709 --> 00:28:12,203
- I'm not at liberty to be
specific about the source.

566
00:28:12,253 --> 00:28:13,704
- Of course not.
- Watch your tone.

567
00:28:13,754 --> 00:28:16,757
- It's all right, Gary, speak your mind.

568
00:28:18,175 --> 00:28:21,128
- Captain, our allies can't
even take a decent picture

569
00:28:21,178 --> 00:28:22,388
of what killed them.

570
00:28:23,264 --> 00:28:25,966
And if this massive ship even exists,

571
00:28:26,016 --> 00:28:28,469
our allies are probably hoping that either

572
00:28:28,519 --> 00:28:30,680
we're more competent than they are,

573
00:28:30,730 --> 00:28:33,140
or that we're better at
absorbing cannon fire.

574
00:28:33,190 --> 00:28:34,350
- Have some decency, Gary.

575
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:35,568
- Oh, to hell with decency!

576
00:28:37,111 --> 00:28:38,646
The only reason we'd all cooperate

577
00:28:38,696 --> 00:28:40,716
is that we each expect each
other to lie down and die

578
00:28:40,740 --> 00:28:41,774
for our own success.

579
00:28:41,824 --> 00:28:42,566
- Gary!

580
00:28:42,616 --> 00:28:45,653
- I guarantee you they're
thinking exactly the same thing.

581
00:28:45,703 --> 00:28:48,748
- The chairman himself
has issued these orders.

582
00:28:50,583 --> 00:28:54,370
Every able vessel is being
called out to join in this hunt.

583
00:28:54,420 --> 00:28:58,165
Several of our courier ships
have already been destroyed.

584
00:28:58,215 --> 00:29:00,584
This is big.

585
00:29:00,634 --> 00:29:04,338
It strikes at the very heart
of our national industry.

586
00:29:04,388 --> 00:29:07,299
Without those ships we could
not provide the services

587
00:29:07,349 --> 00:29:09,427
that more or less fund our country.

588
00:29:09,477 --> 00:29:11,329
There's far more at stake
here than the interest

589
00:29:11,353 --> 00:29:13,606
of whatever nation first
called us into this.

590
00:29:14,565 --> 00:29:17,727
- All the more reason to keep
what Gary is saying in mind.

591
00:29:17,777 --> 00:29:18,777
Look,

592
00:29:19,987 --> 00:29:23,274
some of our "friends" may not necessarily

593
00:29:23,324 --> 00:29:24,950
have our best interests in mind.

594
00:29:25,826 --> 00:29:28,487
Still, we have as good a shot as anyone

595
00:29:28,537 --> 00:29:31,782
at finding this White Ship,

596
00:29:31,832 --> 00:29:33,209
if we play our cards right.

597
00:29:34,210 --> 00:29:35,210
- Thank you, Abner.

598
00:29:36,545 --> 00:29:38,547
And there's something else.

599
00:29:40,007 --> 00:29:43,627
Chairman Houser has
offered up a remarkable sum

600
00:29:43,677 --> 00:29:45,137
for the capture of this ship.

601
00:29:47,515 --> 00:29:49,892
He's marked half his
receipts from last quarter,

602
00:29:50,810 --> 00:29:54,605
and he's leaning on admiralty to match it.

603
00:29:59,568 --> 00:30:01,320
- Is that from his gross or net?

604
00:30:02,488 --> 00:30:03,488
- Gross.

605
00:30:05,074 --> 00:30:06,776
Last quarter was quite kind to him

606
00:30:06,826 --> 00:30:08,327
from the numbers I've seen.

607
00:30:09,161 --> 00:30:11,113
Now, all we have to do is make sure

608
00:30:11,163 --> 00:30:13,749
that we're part of the
group that finishes her off.

609
00:30:14,625 --> 00:30:16,452
- Well, I think we're
all with you, captain.

610
00:30:16,502 --> 00:30:18,504
So where do we start?

611
00:30:21,131 --> 00:30:23,759
- We'll move out system and
hover at Cretcham Point.

612
00:30:24,593 --> 00:30:28,589
From there we'll make transition to...

613
00:30:33,853 --> 00:30:37,598
Here, the Prentiss system,

614
00:30:37,648 --> 00:30:39,525
right at the edge of the Deccan Abyss.

615
00:30:42,027 --> 00:30:43,687
Pretty far out.

616
00:30:43,737 --> 00:30:45,090
It's about the most we can do in one hop.

617
00:30:45,114 --> 00:30:48,067
Take a couple of days charging
before we could come back.

618
00:30:48,117 --> 00:30:50,528
- And awfully close to Yankee territory.

619
00:30:50,578 --> 00:30:53,122
- Everything out here is
close to Yankee territory.

620
00:30:58,002 --> 00:30:59,545
Why this area, captain?

621
00:31:00,921 --> 00:31:02,623
It's awful sparse traffic out there

622
00:31:02,673 --> 00:31:03,966
and a long way from home.

623
00:31:05,301 --> 00:31:09,171
It's unlikely we'll run into
anything, even other hunters.

624
00:31:09,221 --> 00:31:10,615
- A lot of the attacks have taken place

625
00:31:10,639 --> 00:31:12,550
at the edge of the Deccan.

626
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:13,926
I'm playing a hunch

627
00:31:13,976 --> 00:31:16,637
that they're making their
way around the brim.

628
00:31:16,687 --> 00:31:18,681
We can resupply at Hiram,

629
00:31:18,731 --> 00:31:20,599
and then funnel it through
St. Nishith's Fell,

630
00:31:20,649 --> 00:31:22,601
the orbital station there.

631
00:31:22,651 --> 00:31:24,019
- An ally?

632
00:31:24,069 --> 00:31:26,313
More like the only show in town.

633
00:31:26,363 --> 00:31:28,115
They'll be somebody to buy from there.

634
00:31:29,783 --> 00:31:30,860
Okay then,

635
00:31:30,910 --> 00:31:33,737
I expect all of you to carry
out your duties as usual,

636
00:31:33,787 --> 00:31:36,448
and to keep unnecessary
information from the crew.

637
00:31:36,498 --> 00:31:39,043
SepMOD operators will
have elevated privileges.

638
00:31:40,586 --> 00:31:41,586
Any questions?

639
00:31:44,632 --> 00:31:47,334
You may return to your duties.

640
00:31:54,141 --> 00:31:55,643
Bold!

641
00:32:18,332 --> 00:32:20,459
Something on your mind, Abner?

642
00:32:20,751 --> 00:32:23,162
- I'm just curious about this hunch.

643
00:32:23,212 --> 00:32:25,106
You really think they're
just making a clockwise tour

644
00:32:25,130 --> 00:32:26,924
of the Deccan's edge?

645
00:32:27,049 --> 00:32:29,343
- I said it was a hunch.

646
00:32:33,389 --> 00:32:36,016
- You already knew what our orders were.

647
00:32:36,725 --> 00:32:41,055
Not the usual generalities,
someone gave you specifics.

648
00:32:41,105 --> 00:32:46,110
- Prentiss is an educated guess.

649
00:32:47,319 --> 00:32:50,147
There's been some unusual
activity reported there

650
00:32:50,197 --> 00:32:51,941
the last few days.

651
00:32:51,991 --> 00:32:54,910
- And you think it's
really this White Ship?

652
00:32:56,704 --> 00:32:57,913
Well,

653
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,710
it's a long way to go on a hunch.

654
00:33:03,293 --> 00:33:06,672
I admire your gumption, Captain.

655
00:33:35,617 --> 00:33:37,277
- Helm, Full stop and hover.

656
00:33:37,327 --> 00:33:39,321
- Aye sir, full stop and hover.

657
00:33:45,127 --> 00:33:47,079
All stop captain, trimming to hover.

658
00:33:52,593 --> 00:33:55,087
Trimming complete ship is hovering.

659
00:33:55,137 --> 00:33:57,806
- Mr. Hess we are ready
to commence the sequence.

660
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:00,884
- Commencing sequence.

661
00:34:00,934 --> 00:34:02,803
60 seconds on my mark.

662
00:34:02,853 --> 00:34:07,683
Three, two, one mark.

663
00:34:07,733 --> 00:34:08,517
Comms.

664
00:34:08,567 --> 00:34:10,019
- Heads are rigged in and stowed.

665
00:34:10,069 --> 00:34:11,979
- LSO.
-  Stable.

666
00:34:12,029 --> 00:34:12,896
- Fire control.

667
00:34:12,946 --> 00:34:15,315
- Powered down, all
guns in locked position.

668
00:34:15,365 --> 00:34:16,692
- Maneuvering

669
00:34:16,742 --> 00:34:20,070
- SSD at standby. Reactors
at a hundred percent.

670
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,489
All redundant systems are suspended.

671
00:34:22,539 --> 00:34:24,533
Mr Tamai, power the SSD.

672
00:34:24,583 --> 00:34:27,036
- Power SSD, aye sir.

673
00:34:27,086 --> 00:34:29,413
Operator, open her up steady.

674
00:34:29,463 --> 00:34:32,382
.

675
00:34:34,301 --> 00:34:36,045
- Steady increase.

676
00:34:36,095 --> 00:34:38,672
Normal continuum extraction,
fold attenuating.

677
00:34:38,722 --> 00:34:39,757
- Coolant?

678
00:34:39,807 --> 00:34:41,725
- Natural circulation, nominal flow.

679
00:34:42,643 --> 00:34:44,678
- Why does everyone look so nervous?

680
00:34:44,728 --> 00:34:48,057
- Our SSD was only given short
tests before re-christening.

681
00:34:53,112 --> 00:34:54,863
- Are you nervous?

682
00:34:56,532 --> 00:34:58,200
- Yup.

683
00:35:00,077 --> 00:35:00,986
- 34...

684
00:35:01,036 --> 00:35:01,862
33...

685
00:35:01,912 --> 00:35:02,696
32...

686
00:35:02,746 --> 00:35:03,746
31...

687
00:35:03,789 --> 00:35:04,615
30...

688
00:35:04,665 --> 00:35:05,491
29...

689
00:35:05,541 --> 00:35:06,450
28...

690
00:35:06,500 --> 00:35:07,618
27...

691
00:35:07,668 --> 00:35:08,619
26...

692
00:35:08,669 --> 00:35:09,828
25...

693
00:35:09,878 --> 00:35:10,913
24...

694
00:35:10,963 --> 00:35:12,039
23...

695
00:35:12,089 --> 00:35:13,165
22...

696
00:35:13,215 --> 00:35:14,291
21...

697
00:35:14,341 --> 00:35:15,209
20...

698
00:35:15,259 --> 00:35:16,168
19...

699
00:35:16,218 --> 00:35:17,218
18...

700
00:35:20,597 --> 00:35:21,381
14...

701
00:35:21,431 --> 00:35:22,466
13...

702
00:35:22,516 --> 00:35:23,300
12...

703
00:35:23,350 --> 00:35:24,259
11...

704
00:35:24,309 --> 00:35:25,094
10...

705
00:35:25,144 --> 00:35:26,595
- Vents to full open.

706
00:35:29,356 --> 00:35:30,356
5...

707
00:35:30,399 --> 00:35:31,399
4...

708
00:35:31,441 --> 00:35:32,226
3...

709
00:35:32,276 --> 00:35:33,276
2...

710
00:35:33,318 --> 00:35:34,103
1...

711
00:35:34,153 --> 00:35:35,312
Execute!

712
00:35:43,203 --> 00:35:44,696
- SSD is powering down.

713
00:35:44,746 --> 00:35:45,831
All systems nominal.

714
00:35:47,249 --> 00:35:48,784
- Reactors to 75 percent.

715
00:35:48,834 --> 00:35:51,128
- Aye, sir, reactors to 75 percent.

716
00:35:53,547 --> 00:35:55,257
- What went wrong?

717
00:35:56,842 --> 00:35:57,668
- Nothing went wrong.

718
00:35:57,718 --> 00:35:59,253
We're here.

719
00:35:59,303 --> 00:36:00,212
- Then that's it?

720
00:36:00,262 --> 00:36:01,262
- That's it.

721
00:36:03,432 --> 00:36:05,017
- Ugh...!

722
00:36:07,477 --> 00:36:08,720
- That's bizarre.

723
00:36:08,770 --> 00:36:09,888
- You taste copper?

724
00:36:09,938 --> 00:36:12,474
- Yeah, thought I was bleeding.

725
00:36:12,524 --> 00:36:14,434
- Happens to about 10% of people.

726
00:36:14,484 --> 00:36:15,944
It won't hurt you.

727
00:36:17,863 --> 00:36:18,730
Is it time for lunch yet?

728
00:36:18,780 --> 00:36:21,074
I'm starving like an artist.

729
00:36:22,910 --> 00:36:25,070
- You're a dork, sir.

730
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,739
- 190 million miles out of Hiram.

731
00:36:27,789 --> 00:36:31,326
Solid hover, origin point marked.

732
00:36:31,376 --> 00:36:33,921
- All compartments secure
from transition sequence.

733
00:36:35,047 --> 00:36:37,424
No errors.

734
00:36:40,427 --> 00:36:42,671
No errors.

735
00:36:42,721 --> 00:36:45,382
They did her alright after all.

736
00:36:45,432 --> 00:36:48,635
Tom. Go and take the Conn,

737
00:36:48,685 --> 00:36:50,554
plot us a course for mid system.

738
00:36:50,604 --> 00:36:52,389
Let's get hunting.

739
00:36:52,439 --> 00:36:53,849
- Aye aye, Captain.

740
00:36:53,899 --> 00:36:58,061
Helm, come to course 150 by 041.

741
00:36:58,111 --> 00:37:00,063
Roll angle 12 degrees.

742
00:37:00,113 --> 00:37:03,025
Burn ahead one half and hold, 6 hours.

743
00:37:03,075 --> 00:37:06,528
- Aye sir, course 150 by 041.

744
00:37:06,578 --> 00:37:08,280
Roll angle to 12 degrees.

745
00:37:08,330 --> 00:37:09,865
Burn one half for 6 hours.

746
00:37:11,291 --> 00:37:14,912
- Never been this far from home.

747
00:37:14,962 --> 00:37:16,914
- Homesick?

748
00:37:16,964 --> 00:37:18,382
- No.

749
00:37:59,381 --> 00:38:01,667
You did EW
in your last assignment?

750
00:38:01,717 --> 00:38:03,877
Just as an assistant but, yeah.

751
00:38:03,927 --> 00:38:05,796
- And their set up was crap.

752
00:38:05,846 --> 00:38:08,423
The captain only got five
keys from the Admiralty

753
00:38:08,473 --> 00:38:11,885
so they had me trying to hack
one ship after the other.

754
00:38:11,935 --> 00:38:14,429
In the end, we would always
just blow down the doors.

755
00:38:14,479 --> 00:38:17,432
That's one thing I will give
to our intrepid captain.

756
00:38:17,482 --> 00:38:19,851
He didn't skimp on that keyring.

757
00:38:19,901 --> 00:38:21,861
- Yeah, how is he supposed
to have all this stuff?

758
00:38:21,903 --> 00:38:25,107
I mean, isn't he supposed
to be low on cash?

759
00:38:25,157 --> 00:38:26,426
- You shouldn't be talking about that.

760
00:38:26,450 --> 00:38:27,276
- Oh, come on, Kai.

761
00:38:27,326 --> 00:38:28,485
You've heard the rumors.

762
00:38:28,535 --> 00:38:31,029
I mean, he went to one of the top schools,

763
00:38:31,079 --> 00:38:32,823
was in one of those clubs.

764
00:38:32,873 --> 00:38:33,699
- Now that's enough.

765
00:38:33,749 --> 00:38:35,867
- It's obvious he's in
bed with high government.

766
00:38:35,917 --> 00:38:38,412
His surname should have
tipped you off on that.

767
00:38:38,462 --> 00:38:40,706
There's no question that IO is involved.

768
00:38:40,756 --> 00:38:42,066
- Why would the Intelligence Office

769
00:38:42,090 --> 00:38:43,834
have anything to do with it?

770
00:38:43,884 --> 00:38:44,626
Beats me,

771
00:38:44,676 --> 00:38:45,919
but who else has the resources

772
00:38:45,969 --> 00:38:47,713
to supply something like this?

773
00:38:47,763 --> 00:38:49,923
I mean did you see those
unmarked ordinance crates

774
00:38:49,973 --> 00:38:51,383
that we took on a few days ago?

775
00:38:51,433 --> 00:38:53,369
I bet you those are some
of those new molten rounds.

776
00:38:53,393 --> 00:38:54,219
- Who told you all of this?

777
00:38:54,269 --> 00:38:56,513
- How about that big red
button up at the fire control?

778
00:38:56,563 --> 00:38:57,643
- Yeah, what is that thing?

779
00:38:57,689 --> 00:38:58,849
- Testudo.

780
00:38:58,899 --> 00:38:59,899
- Tortoise?

781
00:38:59,941 --> 00:39:01,268
- Tortoise shell.

782
00:39:01,318 --> 00:39:03,145
The outer shake-coat layer of our armor

783
00:39:03,195 --> 00:39:05,397
is nothing unusual for a warship

784
00:39:05,447 --> 00:39:07,024
but they discovered a while ago

785
00:39:07,074 --> 00:39:09,609
that if you run out the
heavy current through it

786
00:39:09,659 --> 00:39:11,486
in these alternating grid patterns

787
00:39:11,536 --> 00:39:14,998
it hardens to something like
20 times its usual strength.

788
00:39:17,793 --> 00:39:19,870
- That's the stupidest
thing I've ever heard.

789
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:21,189
You run current through any metal

790
00:39:21,213 --> 00:39:22,331
and all it does is heat up.

791
00:39:22,381 --> 00:39:23,790
It actually weakens it.

792
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,667
Not to mention the scientific fact

793
00:39:25,717 --> 00:39:27,070
that all semiconducting
conducting materials

794
00:39:27,094 --> 00:39:28,253
like our outer armor

795
00:39:28,303 --> 00:39:30,005
actively resist current.

796
00:39:30,055 --> 00:39:32,758
- Not this semiconducting material.

797
00:39:32,808 --> 00:39:34,568
- If you don't know how
it works just say so.

798
00:39:34,601 --> 00:39:36,762
Don't try and make it up.

799
00:39:36,812 --> 00:39:38,764
- Why isn't this standard
across the fleet?

800
00:39:38,814 --> 00:39:40,766
- Because while it sounds great in theory,

801
00:39:40,816 --> 00:39:43,518
in practice the TS burns
through so much power,

802
00:39:43,568 --> 00:39:45,937
our reactors could never hold it constant.

803
00:39:45,987 --> 00:39:47,939
Moreover the alternating grid phases

804
00:39:47,989 --> 00:39:50,275
have this unexplained habit
of trying to flow back

805
00:39:50,325 --> 00:39:51,735
into the transformers.

806
00:39:51,785 --> 00:39:54,071
The systems burn themselves
out within a few seconds

807
00:39:54,121 --> 00:39:57,707
and take everything that
was connected to them.

808
00:39:59,668 --> 00:40:00,452
- That's crazy.

809
00:40:00,502 --> 00:40:01,453
Why would anyone want that?

810
00:40:01,503 --> 00:40:02,788
- Search me.

811
00:40:02,838 --> 00:40:07,084
Who knows what evil lurks in
the mind of inbred aristocrats.

812
00:40:07,134 --> 00:40:09,169
- Now that is enough.

813
00:40:09,219 --> 00:40:11,755
You stop with all this gossip right now.

814
00:40:11,805 --> 00:40:14,424
Quite frankly, it's
unbecoming of officers.

815
00:40:14,474 --> 00:40:16,343
Besides don't you have
something better to do?

816
00:40:16,393 --> 00:40:19,054
- I do now, if that's
gonna be your attitude.

817
00:40:19,104 --> 00:40:21,473
- Wipe the cereal off your
face and get outta of here.

818
00:40:21,523 --> 00:40:23,016
No more of that talk.

819
00:40:23,066 --> 00:40:24,935
I mean it.

820
00:40:25,694 --> 00:40:26,963
And that's
a risky gamble there

821
00:40:26,987 --> 00:40:28,563
but if he can hide the cannon

822
00:40:28,613 --> 00:40:30,399
before the ref gets up
he'll be in the lead!

823
00:40:30,449 --> 00:40:32,301
Red, what do you think of
this move by Pinkerton?

824
00:40:32,325 --> 00:40:34,528
Oh, it's a
failure of diplomacy Ted.

825
00:40:34,578 --> 00:40:37,280
This may be a case of winning
the battle and losing the war.

826
00:40:37,330 --> 00:40:38,949
- This show sucks!

827
00:40:38,999 --> 00:40:39,999
- What are you five?

828
00:40:40,041 --> 00:40:40,826
Shut up.

829
00:40:40,876 --> 00:40:42,327
The grownups are trying to watch.

830
00:40:42,377 --> 00:40:43,620
- At least it's new.

831
00:40:43,670 --> 00:40:45,163
Who's broadcasting this?

832
00:40:45,213 --> 00:40:46,081
- Saint Nishith.

833
00:40:46,131 --> 00:40:48,667
I think they imported it from Puerto Mal

834
00:40:48,717 --> 00:40:50,043
and quit playing with your hair.

835
00:40:50,093 --> 00:40:51,002
Or we'll hold you down again,

836
00:40:51,052 --> 00:40:52,421
shave the rest off.

837
00:40:52,471 --> 00:40:53,797
- What is this?

838
00:40:53,847 --> 00:40:55,006
- Garbage.

839
00:40:55,056 --> 00:40:57,175
How do you have any brain cells left, Eli?

840
00:40:57,225 --> 00:41:00,887
- I keep spares in tiny vials
rolled up with my socks.

841
00:41:07,235 --> 00:41:09,396
- Where did they dig up
these marines, anyway?

842
00:41:09,446 --> 00:41:11,022
- Backside of somewhere.

843
00:41:11,072 --> 00:41:12,732
- How would they not talk to us?

844
00:41:12,782 --> 00:41:13,843
- Why, would you want them to?

845
00:41:13,867 --> 00:41:16,236
- I mean we do share a ship with them.

846
00:41:16,286 --> 00:41:17,446
- So?

847
00:41:17,496 --> 00:41:20,123
They're weirdos, just leave them be.

848
00:41:20,582 --> 00:41:22,075
It's enough to try to do your job

849
00:41:22,125 --> 00:41:23,410
and keep your sanity out here

850
00:41:23,460 --> 00:41:26,705
without some lunatics trying
to raise the dead next door.

851
00:41:26,755 --> 00:41:27,815
- They aren't summoning the dead,

852
00:41:27,839 --> 00:41:29,291
they're sending prayers to the Shah.

853
00:41:29,341 --> 00:41:30,500
- Oh are they?

854
00:41:30,550 --> 00:41:31,334
And what is a Shah?

855
00:41:31,384 --> 00:41:33,086
- A male peacock.

856
00:41:33,136 --> 00:41:35,088
- He's their king, basically.

857
00:41:35,138 --> 00:41:37,674
Way back when, their Irish
leader started co-opting bits

858
00:41:37,724 --> 00:41:39,885
of Persian and Viking culture.

859
00:41:39,935 --> 00:41:40,760
Then, he convinced them

860
00:41:40,810 --> 00:41:42,721
that all of their prayers flow through him

861
00:41:42,771 --> 00:41:44,973
to their respective gods.

862
00:41:45,023 --> 00:41:46,334
It's a good thing they can shoot straight

863
00:41:46,358 --> 00:41:47,851
since they think in pretzels.

864
00:41:47,901 --> 00:41:50,103
- That sounds like devil worship to me.

865
00:41:50,153 --> 00:41:52,898
Praying to some crazy possessed man.

866
00:41:52,948 --> 00:41:54,691
- Superstitious now?

867
00:41:54,741 --> 00:41:57,235
Gosh sailor, way to beat the stereotype.

868
00:41:57,285 --> 00:42:00,447
- You know, I've seen that medal you have.

869
00:42:00,497 --> 00:42:01,281
You only pull it out

870
00:42:01,331 --> 00:42:02,475
when you think no one's looking

871
00:42:02,499 --> 00:42:05,118
but I've seen you staring at that thing.

872
00:42:05,168 --> 00:42:06,620
Almost if you were praying to it.

873
00:42:06,670 --> 00:42:08,955
- It's not religious you moron.

874
00:42:09,005 --> 00:42:10,540
It's just something my mother gave me.

875
00:42:10,590 --> 00:42:12,417
- Oh, good for you.

876
00:42:12,467 --> 00:42:14,544
Go back to your book mama's boy.

877
00:42:14,594 --> 00:42:16,155
Red, what are
you looking forward to?

878
00:42:16,179 --> 00:42:17,672
My son's next birthday.

879
00:42:17,722 --> 00:42:19,132
I bought him a home chemestry set.

880
00:42:19,182 --> 00:42:21,935
panel analyze that, shortly...

881
00:42:21,977 --> 00:42:23,037
- They can't really be trying

882
00:42:23,061 --> 00:42:25,555
to summon demons or something, can they?

883
00:42:25,605 --> 00:42:27,140
Who knows?

884
00:42:27,190 --> 00:42:29,976
Why don't you go ask him
and see what happens?

885
00:42:30,026 --> 00:42:32,270
- I ain't talking to no demon raisers!

886
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,507
...generous grant from
the Elgin Foundation For Preserving

887
00:42:34,531 --> 00:42:36,316
arts and perishable food products.

888
00:42:36,366 --> 00:42:39,661
And in part by donations
from viewers like you.

889
00:42:39,869 --> 00:42:42,572
This show sucks.

890
00:42:52,799 --> 00:42:54,543
Got something?

891
00:42:54,593 --> 00:42:55,710
- Yeah, I think so.

892
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,879
It's unofficial chatter, audio only

893
00:42:57,929 --> 00:42:59,506
but it caught our attention.

894
00:43:03,685 --> 00:43:05,512
- It's gone sir.

895
00:43:15,030 --> 00:43:16,031
- What do you think?

896
00:43:16,906 --> 00:43:19,359
- I think we should tell the captain.

897
00:43:19,409 --> 00:43:20,952
- Good man.

898
00:43:23,413 --> 00:43:25,198
- She's here, gentlemen.

899
00:43:25,248 --> 00:43:28,159
Nursing wounds out beyond
the edge of the system.

900
00:43:28,209 --> 00:43:29,995
- We intercepted comm traffic

901
00:43:30,045 --> 00:43:33,331
that indicates a very
large ship of unknown class

902
00:43:33,381 --> 00:43:35,875
attacked a convoy on its way out system.

903
00:43:35,925 --> 00:43:36,960
Bad luck for them

904
00:43:37,010 --> 00:43:40,005
the convoy came with a
major escort compliment.

905
00:43:40,055 --> 00:43:41,798
Those warships carved her up pretty badly

906
00:43:41,848 --> 00:43:44,934
but they chose not to pursue.

907
00:43:46,686 --> 00:43:50,357
- She finally walked into a
fight she wasn't prepared for.

908
00:43:53,151 --> 00:43:53,935
- We'll resupply

909
00:43:53,985 --> 00:43:56,646
then head out into the empty
on her suspected tangent

910
00:43:56,696 --> 00:43:59,816
We'll sweep outward,
zigzagging on all axes.

911
00:43:59,866 --> 00:44:01,443
Active sweeps at high speed

912
00:44:01,493 --> 00:44:03,653
and we take this one aggressively,

913
00:44:03,703 --> 00:44:05,822
just like the gun-runner.

914
00:44:05,872 --> 00:44:08,074
- It's a good plan.

915
00:44:08,124 --> 00:44:10,460
Looks like your hunch is paying off.

916
00:44:12,921 --> 00:44:14,631
- Dismissed.

917
00:44:43,618 --> 00:44:47,489
After so many
years of disappointments,

918
00:44:47,539 --> 00:44:50,617
I must say that the notion
of feeling genuine pride

919
00:44:50,667 --> 00:44:54,087
for another member of the
family is, well...

920
00:44:54,129 --> 00:44:55,672
alluring.

921
00:44:56,339 --> 00:44:58,917
I won't pretend that I'm
exactly holding my breath,

922
00:44:58,967 --> 00:45:03,930
understand, but it feels good
to be mildly hopeful for once.

923
00:45:04,764 --> 00:45:08,268
You are making a major first step.

924
00:45:09,477 --> 00:45:12,555
Something that your parents,
neither one of them,

925
00:45:12,605 --> 00:45:14,691
could ever bothered to consider...

926
00:45:15,775 --> 00:45:17,894
- You're due in deck in five minutes.

927
00:45:17,944 --> 00:45:19,354
- I know.

928
00:45:19,404 --> 00:45:20,404
- Mother?

929
00:45:21,740 --> 00:45:23,274
- How old do I look to you?

930
00:45:23,324 --> 00:45:24,192
- Aunt?

931
00:45:24,242 --> 00:45:25,242
Grandparent?

932
00:45:27,454 --> 00:45:28,454
Girlfriend?

933
00:45:31,082 --> 00:45:34,335
It's okay, no one's gonna judge!

934
00:45:38,339 --> 00:45:40,375
The closest
we've been able to figure,

935
00:45:40,425 --> 00:45:43,378
this ship is unfeasibly accurate at range

936
00:45:43,428 --> 00:45:47,507
or else has some way of
closing distance fast.

937
00:45:47,557 --> 00:45:50,560
We have a hard time separating
the myth from the fact.

938
00:45:51,436 --> 00:45:53,304
Whatever it is the White Ship is doing,

939
00:45:53,354 --> 00:45:56,141
we're pretty sure it happens fast.

940
00:45:56,191 --> 00:45:59,861
Some of the boxes we found
haven't even logged cries for help.

941
00:46:01,321 --> 00:46:04,149
I don't envy you, and
I don't think your dad

942
00:46:04,199 --> 00:46:06,901
should have encouraged this excursion in...

943
00:46:06,951 --> 00:46:07,951
- Come in.

944
00:46:12,290 --> 00:46:13,374
- Any word from home?

945
00:46:16,377 --> 00:46:18,189
The Port Authority is
demanding a "pass through" fee

946
00:46:18,213 --> 00:46:20,749
for the water, 1200 in Rhodesian Pounds.

947
00:46:20,799 --> 00:46:21,708
- I'll bet.

948
00:46:21,758 --> 00:46:23,418
Go ahead and give it to them.

949
00:46:23,468 --> 00:46:25,837
That will
take us closer to reserve.

950
00:46:25,887 --> 00:46:29,424
- With the prize money coming
in, we should be all right.

951
00:46:29,474 --> 00:46:32,811
By the way, Abner, I've been
going over the crew bios again.

952
00:46:33,686 --> 00:46:35,406
- Did you have a question
about one of them?

953
00:46:35,438 --> 00:46:38,057
- You call Saverin an "evocatus."

954
00:46:38,107 --> 00:46:40,026
Now my Latin is a bit rusty,

955
00:46:41,820 --> 00:46:44,189
but which of the two
empires does he hail from?

956
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,399
- I found him a while
back doing mercenary work,

957
00:46:46,449 --> 00:46:49,410
and he mentioned he did two
tours on a Martellan vessel.

958
00:46:51,079 --> 00:46:53,531
Are you worried about his
credentials or his loyalty?

959
00:46:53,581 --> 00:46:56,326
- I'd like to know how and why he left.

960
00:46:56,376 --> 00:46:57,869
- Ask him.

961
00:46:57,919 --> 00:46:59,120
I didn't.

962
00:46:59,170 --> 00:47:00,789
He's served with me on two ships now,

963
00:47:00,839 --> 00:47:03,258
and always with competence and devotion.

964
00:47:04,342 --> 00:47:06,362
If you had any doubts, you
should have said something

965
00:47:06,386 --> 00:47:07,420
before we left port.

966
00:47:07,470 --> 00:47:09,514
- I don't have doubts, it's just...

967
00:47:11,391 --> 00:47:13,768
Look at who we're docked with.

968
00:47:22,402 --> 00:47:24,046
I'm just a bit worried
that if they see him,

969
00:47:24,070 --> 00:47:25,738
they might try and take him back.

970
00:47:28,283 --> 00:47:29,984
I had hoped that their war wouldn't reach

971
00:47:30,034 --> 00:47:31,694
this close to us though.

972
00:47:31,744 --> 00:47:34,656
- Well, for what it's worth,
I can say with confidence

973
00:47:34,706 --> 00:47:36,825
that Saverin seems to have
lost faith in his homeland

974
00:47:36,875 --> 00:47:41,337
during his second tour, but
he didn't desert or go rogue.

975
00:47:42,171 --> 00:47:43,540
He's not a fugitive.

976
00:47:43,590 --> 00:47:45,550
He is just a bit bitter, I think.

977
00:47:47,051 --> 00:47:50,713
We'll have no trouble from the
Empires, either one of them.

978
00:47:50,763 --> 00:47:52,140
- Thank God for that.

979
00:48:11,701 --> 00:48:14,112
- 17 hour burn starting now.

980
00:48:14,162 --> 00:48:15,822
Cease burn at 2600 hours.

981
00:48:15,872 --> 00:48:19,250
Helm, roll us left to
three-one-five, maintain vertical.

982
00:48:20,501 --> 00:48:24,330
- Rolling left three-one-five,
maintaining vertical.

983
00:48:24,380 --> 00:48:27,458
- SepMOD, Conn, report all contacts.

984
00:48:27,508 --> 00:48:28,777
Sparse traffic to stern,

985
00:48:28,801 --> 00:48:30,253
all bearings shifting to port.

986
00:48:30,303 --> 00:48:32,672
Two commercial vessels, seven private.

987
00:48:32,722 --> 00:48:34,182
All other tangents empty.

988
00:48:47,153 --> 00:48:48,479
- It's not just about the cash,

989
00:48:48,529 --> 00:48:50,148
it's the whole issue with aristocracy,

990
00:48:50,198 --> 00:48:52,483
the DeVol family may have
helped found the nation,

991
00:48:52,533 --> 00:48:55,111
but that hasn't kept them
from falling out of favor.

992
00:48:55,161 --> 00:48:57,405
They have permanent
governorship over Port Shelley,

993
00:48:57,455 --> 00:49:00,783
but granddad still managed
to screw that one up too.

994
00:49:00,833 --> 00:49:03,995
This whole ship is just
daddy's last ditch effort

995
00:49:04,045 --> 00:49:05,788
to regain relevance.

996
00:49:05,838 --> 00:49:07,173
- What happens if he fails?

997
00:49:08,633 --> 00:49:11,377
- Dissolution of the family
property, basically handing over

998
00:49:11,427 --> 00:49:13,630
the family name to someone
else in lieu of payment

999
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,507
and I've even heard talk
of an arranged marriage

1000
00:49:16,557 --> 00:49:19,135
to one of the Arkwright
daughters, could you imagine?

1001
00:49:19,185 --> 00:49:20,511
- What's this?

1002
00:49:20,561 --> 00:49:22,347
- Just a friendly conversation.

1003
00:49:22,397 --> 00:49:23,473
- Right.

1004
00:49:23,523 --> 00:49:24,833
Because who doesn't enjoy gibbering

1005
00:49:24,857 --> 00:49:26,476
with their girlfriend between classes?

1006
00:49:26,526 --> 00:49:28,561
- All right, all right.

1007
00:49:28,611 --> 00:49:31,898
But you have to admit
that he is a little off.

1008
00:49:31,948 --> 00:49:33,566
I mean he acts like a scared ensign.

1009
00:49:33,616 --> 00:49:36,778
- Mr. Royce, I have tolerated
your attitude to this point,

1010
00:49:36,828 --> 00:49:38,738
but you are testing the
limits of my patience.

1011
00:49:38,788 --> 00:49:39,989
- Oh, come on.

1012
00:49:40,039 --> 00:49:42,992
He's got us chasing phantom
ships out here in the empty.

1013
00:49:43,042 --> 00:49:44,369
He's holed up in his cabin.

1014
00:49:44,419 --> 00:49:46,537
I mean he's probably going
pants-crapping insane

1015
00:49:46,587 --> 00:49:48,256
just from the pressure of it all.

1016
00:49:49,799 --> 00:49:51,217
- You wanna repeat that?

1017
00:49:54,012 --> 00:49:56,673
No really, I wanna hear
the in-depth assessment

1018
00:49:56,723 --> 00:49:58,766
from the only actual ensign on board.

1019
00:49:59,642 --> 00:50:00,843
And how far along are you

1020
00:50:00,893 --> 00:50:02,854
with your qualification courses, again?

1021
00:50:03,688 --> 00:50:06,274
Clear off, before I skin you.

1022
00:50:14,407 --> 00:50:16,567
- I loathe children.

1023
00:50:16,617 --> 00:50:19,904
- Look, I know you keep him
on the straight and narrow

1024
00:50:19,954 --> 00:50:23,449
as far as performing his job,
but you have to make sure

1025
00:50:23,499 --> 00:50:26,077
he shows more respect for his Captain,

1026
00:50:26,127 --> 00:50:28,921
no matter what your personal
issues may be with the man.

1027
00:50:30,131 --> 00:50:32,291
- Very well.

1028
00:50:32,341 --> 00:50:34,335
Where did you find him anyway?

1029
00:50:34,385 --> 00:50:36,421
- Loafing around the house.

1030
00:50:36,471 --> 00:50:39,515
But at least my brother
says we're even now.

1031
00:50:44,687 --> 00:50:46,522
Hey Abel, are you awake?

1032
00:50:48,441 --> 00:50:49,441
- Yeah.

1033
00:50:50,526 --> 00:50:51,903
- Why did you come out here?

1034
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:55,740
- His girlfriend told him to.

1035
00:50:56,699 --> 00:50:59,202
Okay, I'm sure she's worth it.

1036
00:51:00,495 --> 00:51:01,946
- Why do you care?

1037
00:51:01,996 --> 00:51:03,372
- I can't resist a mystery.

1038
00:51:06,084 --> 00:51:07,702
- She's my Great Aunt.

1039
00:51:07,752 --> 00:51:10,246
I knew it!

1040
00:51:10,296 --> 00:51:12,915
Did she knit you a sweater for the trip?

1041
00:51:12,965 --> 00:51:15,626
Offer to come along and rock you to sleep?

1042
00:51:15,676 --> 00:51:17,512
- You'd have to salute her if she did.

1043
00:51:19,472 --> 00:51:21,474
- Wait... AstroNavy?

1044
00:51:23,476 --> 00:51:24,476
An officer?

1045
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:29,932
- She commanded six ladyships
before she retired. Mustang.

1046
00:51:29,982 --> 00:51:31,901
Worked her way up from the very bottom.

1047
00:51:33,069 --> 00:51:35,321
- Wow, I'm impressed.

1048
00:51:37,698 --> 00:51:41,160
- You know, she has
these aspirations for me

1049
00:51:42,286 --> 00:51:45,656
and she wants me off those
ghetto islands back home.

1050
00:51:45,706 --> 00:51:47,875
Proper citizenship
wouldn't be bad, either.

1051
00:51:50,128 --> 00:51:52,463
- I was thinking the same
thing when Gladys was born.

1052
00:51:53,756 --> 00:51:56,801
I want to make enough to
get her a good education.

1053
00:51:58,803 --> 00:52:00,781
You know she's gonna make it
through Port Shelley some day.

1054
00:52:00,805 --> 00:52:02,006
- Them goals is lofty.

1055
00:52:02,056 --> 00:52:04,967
- Have some kids of your own,
you'll make even higher ones.

1056
00:52:05,017 --> 00:52:06,344
- I'm okay with what I have.

1057
00:52:06,394 --> 00:52:08,846
- Yeah, a tough life,
banging on one cylinder.

1058
00:52:08,896 --> 00:52:10,148
- Shut up, Dimitri.

1059
00:52:11,232 --> 00:52:15,603
- So... you don't have
any kids, then, Abel?

1060
00:52:15,653 --> 00:52:17,446
No.

1061
00:52:27,665 --> 00:52:30,118
What do you think we're
doing out here anyway?

1062
00:52:30,168 --> 00:52:31,210
Out in the black?

1063
00:52:32,461 --> 00:52:33,461
- Why?

1064
00:52:34,463 --> 00:52:35,289
You worried or something?

1065
00:52:35,339 --> 00:52:36,339
- No.

1066
00:52:37,633 --> 00:52:41,262
Well, yeah, maybe a little.

1067
00:52:43,347 --> 00:52:45,424
- There's nothing to worry about.

1068
00:52:45,474 --> 00:52:47,301
Just empty space.

1069
00:52:47,351 --> 00:52:49,478
- But that's just it, I mean...

1070
00:52:50,396 --> 00:52:53,566
anything could be out here.

1071
00:52:57,862 --> 00:52:59,572
- There's nothing out here.

1072
00:53:06,329 --> 00:53:07,113
- The men are starting to wonder

1073
00:53:07,163 --> 00:53:09,198
what we're doing out here.

1074
00:53:09,248 --> 00:53:10,726
- I'm beginning to wonder that myself.

1075
00:53:10,750 --> 00:53:13,786
- Well, a little reflection
is good for a captain.

1076
00:53:13,836 --> 00:53:17,373
But I hesitate
to turn back as well.

1077
00:53:17,423 --> 00:53:18,692
The admiralty will be expecting to hear

1078
00:53:18,716 --> 00:53:19,860
back from us in a couple of days.

1079
00:53:19,884 --> 00:53:22,545
- Don't make that the
decision point though.

1080
00:53:22,595 --> 00:53:23,838
With ships this far out,

1081
00:53:23,888 --> 00:53:25,798
those deadlines are pretty flexible.

1082
00:53:25,848 --> 00:53:27,633
- Well, we have been
out here for some time,

1083
00:53:27,683 --> 00:53:28,634
and at some point,

1084
00:53:28,684 --> 00:53:30,511
we're gonna have to turn back.

1085
00:53:30,561 --> 00:53:32,521
It's up to you when.

1086
00:53:34,774 --> 00:53:36,893
- But to turn back empty handed?

1087
00:53:36,943 --> 00:53:38,895
That doesn't
mean that we're giving up.

1088
00:53:38,945 --> 00:53:41,105
We could still replenish
and resume the hunt.

1089
00:53:41,155 --> 00:53:43,649
- Not if somebody finds her first,

1090
00:53:43,699 --> 00:53:46,861
we might return home,
and find out that there's

1091
00:53:46,911 --> 00:53:48,696
nothing left, that it's all done,

1092
00:53:48,746 --> 00:53:49,989
there's nothing left to resume.

1093
00:53:50,039 --> 00:53:51,741
- Don't be like that, Marcus.

1094
00:53:51,791 --> 00:53:54,160
- That's the dirty little secret here.

1095
00:53:54,210 --> 00:53:55,437
It was never gonna be enough to

1096
00:53:55,461 --> 00:53:57,079
hunt down pirates and collect bounties,

1097
00:53:57,129 --> 00:54:00,541
without the White Ship,
Dad and I are finished.

1098
00:54:00,591 --> 00:54:03,502
The long line of DeVols, ever since Uriah,

1099
00:54:03,552 --> 00:54:05,655
will just be snuffed out.
It's a fine irony.

1100
00:54:05,846 --> 00:54:08,883
He founded a country where
the most successful man rules,

1101
00:54:08,933 --> 00:54:10,718
gives the Chairmanship to his son,

1102
00:54:10,768 --> 00:54:13,688
and the idiot loses it immediately.

1103
00:54:15,356 --> 00:54:17,767
And the rest of us have just been
spiraling downward since.

1104
00:54:17,817 --> 00:54:21,020
- Technically, Uriah founded
a communications company.

1105
00:54:21,070 --> 00:54:22,506
It just happened to grow rich enough,

1106
00:54:22,530 --> 00:54:24,148
that it was able to be nationalized.

1107
00:54:24,198 --> 00:54:25,566
- Thank you, Abner.

1108
00:54:25,616 --> 00:54:27,276
I'm well aware of my family history,

1109
00:54:27,326 --> 00:54:30,571
I heard it every day
while I was in school.

1110
00:54:30,621 --> 00:54:32,740
"Your family screws up so bad,

1111
00:54:32,790 --> 00:54:34,430
that we're going to give them the one job

1112
00:54:34,458 --> 00:54:37,745
that nobody can actually lose:"

1113
00:54:37,795 --> 00:54:39,497
Port Shelley.

1114
00:54:39,547 --> 00:54:42,458
What happened to
you in school is irrelevant.

1115
00:54:42,508 --> 00:54:44,218
You're here now, you're the commander.

1116
00:54:45,386 --> 00:54:47,213
Teenage bullies have no bearing on your

1117
00:54:47,263 --> 00:54:48,464
responsibility to your crew

1118
00:54:48,514 --> 00:54:51,642
or your family back home.
- Do not lecture me, Abner.

1119
00:54:51,809 --> 00:54:54,720
My experience has everything
to do with who I am...

1120
00:54:54,770 --> 00:54:58,057
- Oh no, no, no, we're not gonna
do this self pitying, woe is me...

1121
00:54:58,107 --> 00:54:59,809
- I am not... I'm not self-pitying!

1122
00:54:59,859 --> 00:55:01,819
- Oh yes, you are!

1123
00:55:01,861 --> 00:55:04,438
Did you think this was gonna be easy?

1124
00:55:04,488 --> 00:55:08,276
This is the real world of
combat, war, and death.

1125
00:55:08,326 --> 00:55:10,111
Thank whatever it is that you pray to

1126
00:55:10,161 --> 00:55:12,280
that you haven't directly
seen the death yet.

1127
00:55:12,330 --> 00:55:12,997
- Abner!

1128
00:55:13,039 --> 00:55:14,865
- You're leading a crew of men!

1129
00:55:14,915 --> 00:55:17,743
And they need a man to lead them.

1130
00:55:17,793 --> 00:55:19,453
Are you just gonna mope around because

1131
00:55:19,503 --> 00:55:21,747
your first stab at a tough mission,

1132
00:55:21,797 --> 00:55:23,549
is coming up empty?

1133
00:55:24,842 --> 00:55:26,427
Grow up, Marcus.

1134
00:55:27,261 --> 00:55:28,512
Right now.

1135
00:55:43,235 --> 00:55:46,272
- 1700 hours, cruising as before.

1136
00:55:46,322 --> 00:55:48,065
1700 hours,

1137
00:55:48,115 --> 00:55:50,818
cruising as before, so noted.

1138
00:55:50,868 --> 00:55:53,621
- SepMOD, Conn, report all contacts.

1139
00:55:56,624 --> 00:55:57,950
No contacts, sir.

1140
00:55:58,000 --> 00:55:59,502
All scopes clear.

1141
00:56:00,669 --> 00:56:02,163
- What's our heading?

1142
00:56:02,213 --> 00:56:05,132
100 by 385.

1143
00:56:06,675 --> 00:56:08,377
- Burn to full stop,

1144
00:56:08,427 --> 00:56:11,389
steer to 010 and resume speed.

1145
00:56:12,348 --> 00:56:14,759
- Full stop, steer 010,

1146
00:56:14,809 --> 00:56:16,302
and resume speed, aye, sir.

1147
00:56:18,854 --> 00:56:20,306
- Gary, take the Conn.

1148
00:57:23,586 --> 00:57:25,913
We are really out there now,

1149
00:57:25,963 --> 00:57:28,966
back to the onboard library... whoa, wait.

1150
00:57:31,635 --> 00:57:32,928
Just a glitch.

1151
00:57:33,929 --> 00:57:35,840
Ghost in the machine.

1152
00:57:35,890 --> 00:57:38,759
- Do we really have to
bring ghosts into this?

1153
00:57:38,809 --> 00:57:40,287
We don't have to, I just meant that...

1154
00:57:40,311 --> 00:57:42,179
Then don't, okay.

1155
00:57:42,229 --> 00:57:43,981
Just, just...

1156
00:57:46,066 --> 00:57:47,066
Just don't.

1157
00:58:47,461 --> 00:58:49,213
- I don't believe it...

1158
00:58:50,631 --> 00:58:52,166
Captain to SepMOD!

1159
00:58:52,216 --> 00:58:53,467
Captain to SepMOD!

1160
00:58:59,014 --> 00:59:00,599
I don't believe it.

1161
00:59:02,309 --> 00:59:03,429
What is she doing?

1162
00:59:03,477 --> 00:59:05,137
She's not doing anything.

1163
00:59:05,187 --> 00:59:06,847
Emissions? Broadcasts?

1164
00:59:06,897 --> 00:59:09,850
None, either she's
got fantastic shielding,

1165
00:59:09,900 --> 00:59:12,144
or her reactor's cold.

1166
00:59:12,194 --> 00:59:13,687
- Dead in the water?

1167
00:59:13,737 --> 00:59:15,564
- No, she'd be drifting if there

1168
00:59:15,614 --> 00:59:17,024
was a sudden power loss.

1169
00:59:17,074 --> 00:59:18,442
- Maybe she hopped?

1170
00:59:18,492 --> 00:59:19,735
And we just happened on her

1171
00:59:19,785 --> 00:59:20,804
before she could get up and running?

1172
00:59:20,828 --> 00:59:23,364
- There should still be something.

1173
00:59:23,414 --> 00:59:24,474
- It has to be the White Ship.

1174
00:59:24,498 --> 00:59:26,575
I mean, look at the size of her!

1175
00:59:26,625 --> 00:59:27,743
In this part of the void,

1176
00:59:27,793 --> 00:59:29,187
there can't be more than a couple of ships

1177
00:59:29,211 --> 00:59:31,497
that big and running around.

1178
00:59:31,547 --> 00:59:33,415
- Foley, what is she?

1179
00:59:33,465 --> 00:59:36,168
- I don't know, captain.

1180
00:59:36,218 --> 00:59:37,378
The computer is calling it a

1181
00:59:37,428 --> 00:59:38,879
civilian Ontos Cruiser,

1182
00:59:38,929 --> 00:59:41,340
but the silhouette's all wrong.

1183
00:59:41,390 --> 00:59:43,183
Whatever this is,

1184
00:59:44,143 --> 00:59:45,970
I don't think it's in our databases.

1185
00:59:46,020 --> 00:59:48,022
- It's her, it's gotta be!

1186
00:59:49,273 --> 00:59:50,858
Captain?

1187
01:00:01,952 --> 01:00:04,113
- Come on, Marcus, let's go get her!

1188
01:00:04,163 --> 01:00:06,391
- Tom, so help me...
- Enough with the formalities, Marcus.

1189
01:00:06,415 --> 01:00:07,825
This is me that you're talking to,

1190
01:00:07,875 --> 01:00:09,994
and this is exactly

1191
01:00:10,044 --> 01:00:12,129
what we've been working towards.

1192
01:00:13,964 --> 01:00:15,341
- Unless it's a trap.

1193
01:00:16,550 --> 01:00:19,336
- Unless it's a trap for who exactly?

1194
01:00:19,386 --> 01:00:21,964
Look, if she starts
twitching when we get close,

1195
01:00:22,014 --> 01:00:24,008
we can easily pull away with

1196
01:00:24,058 --> 01:00:26,226
just scratches, Marcus.

1197
01:00:27,227 --> 01:00:29,555
We ignore this, and we're missing

1198
01:00:29,605 --> 01:00:32,441
the opportunity of a lifetime.

1199
01:00:43,452 --> 01:00:45,821
- Okay, we'll get in closer,

1200
01:00:45,871 --> 01:00:47,156
and evaluate her condition.

1201
01:00:47,206 --> 01:00:48,749
- Yes, sir!

1202
01:00:52,670 --> 01:00:54,163
We're going in to get her.

1203
01:00:54,213 --> 01:00:55,664
I have the Conn.

1204
01:00:55,714 --> 01:00:57,132
Roll starboard 10 degrees.

1205
01:00:58,092 --> 01:00:59,218
Stern up 49.

1206
01:01:00,177 --> 01:01:01,754
10 tips to Port by the bow.

1207
01:01:01,804 --> 01:01:02,588
- Aye, sir.

1208
01:01:02,638 --> 01:01:05,299
- Burn ahead one quarter, 60 seconds.

1209
01:01:05,349 --> 01:01:07,226
- I have the Conn, threat board on two.

1210
01:01:21,949 --> 01:01:23,067
- Captain?

1211
01:01:23,117 --> 01:01:25,069
- SepMOD, what's her bearing?

1212
01:01:25,119 --> 01:01:27,663
304 by 355 relative.

1213
01:01:29,581 --> 01:01:31,492
- Helm, adjust our approach.

1214
01:01:31,542 --> 01:01:32,710
Bring us up on her beam.

1215
01:01:33,836 --> 01:01:35,045
- Adjusting, aye, sir.

1216
01:01:37,297 --> 01:01:38,465
- Captain?

1217
01:01:40,050 --> 01:01:41,135
Yes.

1218
01:01:42,845 --> 01:01:44,388
- May I recommend we hail them?

1219
01:01:45,764 --> 01:01:48,183
- No, radio silence for the time being.

1220
01:01:51,228 --> 01:01:52,646
- Shall we go to quarters?

1221
01:01:57,151 --> 01:01:58,318
- Go to quarters.

1222
01:01:59,445 --> 01:02:00,714
- General quarters, general quarters,

1223
01:02:00,738 --> 01:02:02,106
all hands to battle stations!

1224
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:18,422
- Ship is at quarters.

1225
01:02:21,550 --> 01:02:25,179
- Chief, bring up the external
on three. Extreme telephoto.

1226
01:02:28,474 --> 01:02:29,850
Light her up.

1227
01:02:34,897 --> 01:02:36,148
Closer.

1228
01:02:49,828 --> 01:02:51,205
- She's huge.

1229
01:02:51,747 --> 01:02:54,450
- SepMOD, do you have a
classification on the target?

1230
01:02:54,500 --> 01:02:56,627
The computer's
still stumbling on it.

1231
01:02:58,754 --> 01:03:01,039
Now it says it could be
a McClarren gray ship.

1232
01:03:01,089 --> 01:03:02,257
- Is it?

1233
01:03:03,217 --> 01:03:04,418
No chance, Captain.

1234
01:03:04,468 --> 01:03:05,419
- Helm, back one quarter.

1235
01:03:05,469 --> 01:03:07,304
Let's not get too close yet.

1236
01:03:11,391 --> 01:03:13,352
She looks derelict.

1237
01:03:13,852 --> 01:03:16,346
- Not necessarily.

1238
01:03:16,396 --> 01:03:17,931
Look at that darkening aft,

1239
01:03:17,981 --> 01:03:20,642
She's taken a couple of serious hits.

1240
01:03:20,692 --> 01:03:23,061
That could be a breach.

1241
01:03:23,111 --> 01:03:25,606
- The airlock looks warped on this side.

1242
01:03:25,656 --> 01:03:26,966
We'd have to approach from the other,

1243
01:03:26,990 --> 01:03:28,867
where she could have taken less damage.

1244
01:04:16,790 --> 01:04:17,790
Gary?

1245
01:04:19,501 --> 01:04:21,545
- Some variant on the Viper III mount.

1246
01:04:22,504 --> 01:04:23,622
They're very accurate,

1247
01:04:23,672 --> 01:04:25,149
but the magazines are kept inside the hull

1248
01:04:25,173 --> 01:04:26,625
and the barrels have to be rotated

1249
01:04:26,675 --> 01:04:27,960
perpendicular to the spine

1250
01:04:28,010 --> 01:04:30,262
to line up the feed
slots between every shot.

1251
01:04:31,638 --> 01:04:33,799
Not very good at close quarters.

1252
01:04:33,849 --> 01:04:37,102
- Have the crews of Hydra 1
and Quad mount load specials.

1253
01:04:41,857 --> 01:04:43,809
- Aye, sir.

1254
01:04:43,859 --> 01:04:46,019
Quad mount and Hydra 1.

1255
01:04:46,069 --> 01:04:46,854
- All right.

1256
01:04:46,904 --> 01:04:47,922
Load the specials.

1257
01:04:47,946 --> 01:04:50,732
- Helm, bring us alongside her.

1258
01:04:50,782 --> 01:04:52,526
We'll prepare a boarding action.

1259
01:04:52,576 --> 01:04:53,861
Bring us alongside.

1260
01:04:53,911 --> 01:04:55,279
Aye Sir.

1261
01:05:15,599 --> 01:05:17,467
- Closing at 10 feet per second.

1262
01:05:17,517 --> 01:05:18,602
Coming about.

1263
01:05:22,189 --> 01:05:23,649
- Guns at the ready?

1264
01:05:26,652 --> 01:05:29,021
Contact one
thousand yards and closing.

1265
01:05:29,071 --> 01:05:30,739
Devil's Distance captain.

1266
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:33,760
- If they were gonna give us any trouble,

1267
01:05:33,784 --> 01:05:35,903
they would have done it by now.

1268
01:05:35,953 --> 01:05:38,872
- Does anybody see any white paint?

1269
01:05:42,876 --> 01:05:44,328
- Maybe they...

1270
01:05:44,378 --> 01:05:45,671
repainted.

1271
01:05:47,881 --> 01:05:50,342
- Let's get a close-up of the bow.

1272
01:05:54,429 --> 01:05:55,931
- That's not recent.

1273
01:05:56,974 --> 01:05:59,009
That's old damage.

1274
01:05:59,059 --> 01:06:00,686
- What's it say?

1275
01:06:03,647 --> 01:06:05,065
- Voltairine?

1276
01:06:06,566 --> 01:06:08,518
- That's not right.

1277
01:06:08,568 --> 01:06:10,562
This isn't right.

1278
01:06:10,612 --> 01:06:12,197
- Go wide again.

1279
01:06:15,075 --> 01:06:16,276
- Chief!

1280
01:06:16,326 --> 01:06:17,595
Lost the input signal, sir.

1281
01:06:17,619 --> 01:06:18,904
Recycling it again.

1282
01:06:20,163 --> 01:06:20,948
- Whoa.

1283
01:06:22,582 --> 01:06:23,792
- What?

1284
01:06:25,460 --> 01:06:27,204
- Chief! What's going on?

1285
01:06:27,254 --> 01:06:28,080
Sir?

1286
01:06:28,130 --> 01:06:29,414
- Chief, what's going on?

1287
01:06:29,464 --> 01:06:31,291
- Guidance thrusters not responding.

1288
01:06:31,341 --> 01:06:32,209
- What?

1289
01:06:32,259 --> 01:06:34,086
- I have no control.

1290
01:06:48,150 --> 01:06:48,934
- Royce!

1291
01:06:48,984 --> 01:06:51,228
- Nothing's working, nothing's working!

1292
01:06:51,278 --> 01:06:52,312
- Did they infiltrate us?

1293
01:06:52,362 --> 01:06:55,857
- They can't have, there was
no signal, no transmission.

1294
01:06:55,907 --> 01:06:56,926
- Gun crews are all reporting

1295
01:06:56,950 --> 01:06:58,094
their controls won't respond.

1296
01:07:04,249 --> 01:07:06,410
- They've set us adrift.

1297
01:07:06,460 --> 01:07:07,812
Royce, you have to clean them out!

1298
01:07:07,836 --> 01:07:09,663
- I don't, I'm trying Captain.

1299
01:07:09,713 --> 01:07:11,707
- Not good enough, make it happen.

1300
01:07:11,757 --> 01:07:12,624
- I, I can't!

1301
01:07:12,674 --> 01:07:13,458
- You have to.

1302
01:07:13,508 --> 01:07:14,626
- Marcus!

1303
01:07:14,676 --> 01:07:15,627
Marcus!

1304
01:07:21,349 --> 01:07:23,468
- All engines ahead flank! AHEAD FLANK!

1305
01:07:23,518 --> 01:07:24,803
- I have no control!

1306
01:07:25,687 --> 01:07:26,471
- Gary!

1307
01:07:28,065 --> 01:07:29,474
- Do it!

1308
01:07:43,288 --> 01:07:44,906
- We're rolling to port!

1309
01:07:44,956 --> 01:07:46,324
- Fire control's back on line!

1310
01:07:46,374 --> 01:07:48,368
The shock must have tripped something!

1311
01:07:48,418 --> 01:07:49,286
- Helm, all ahead flank!

1312
01:07:49,336 --> 01:07:51,121
- Helm still isn't answering Sir!

1313
01:07:52,005 --> 01:07:53,357
Hydra Twin out of action!

1314
01:07:53,381 --> 01:07:55,125
- Quad mount also out of action!

1315
01:07:55,175 --> 01:07:55,959
- Hydra 1...

1316
01:07:56,009 --> 01:07:56,793
- She is not responding, sir!

1317
01:07:56,843 --> 01:07:57,987
The targeting system's damaged.

1318
01:07:58,011 --> 01:07:59,504
- Fire with any working gun we have!

1319
01:07:59,554 --> 01:08:01,298
Patch me through to the crew of Hydra 1.

1320
01:08:01,348 --> 01:08:02,883
- Ed, patch him in! Cobra and Hydra 2,

1321
01:08:02,933 --> 01:08:05,677
rotate 090 relative and bottom out!

1322
01:08:05,727 --> 01:08:06,829
We'll hit her as we come around!

1323
01:08:06,853 --> 01:08:08,180
- Ugh!

1324
01:08:08,230 --> 01:08:10,098
- Gary, I'm gonna give
the crew a Hydra 1 to

1325
01:08:10,148 --> 01:08:11,349
make a manual shot!

1326
01:08:11,399 --> 01:08:12,851
- Aye captain. Hydra 2 and Cobra

1327
01:08:12,901 --> 01:08:15,353
target the damaged section on
her stern as we come around,

1328
01:08:15,403 --> 01:08:17,048
- Royce can we do anything
about our targeting system?

1329
01:08:17,072 --> 01:08:18,190
- I can't get any readings.

1330
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:19,900
It's like there's nothing there to spoof.

1331
01:08:19,950 --> 01:08:21,318
- Hit the button again.

1332
01:08:21,368 --> 01:08:22,652
Now!

1333
01:08:33,630 --> 01:08:35,340
- Hydra 2 coming around.

1334
01:08:38,385 --> 01:08:39,211
Firing!

1335
01:08:40,637 --> 01:08:42,297
We missed!

1336
01:08:42,347 --> 01:08:43,632
- Cobra, you're up!

1337
01:08:43,682 --> 01:08:44,841
- Yes sir!

1338
01:08:44,891 --> 01:08:46,843
- Royce, hold that button down.

1339
01:08:46,893 --> 01:08:48,762
Hold it down I said!

1340
01:08:50,397 --> 01:08:51,807
- Hydra 1, prepare to fire.

1341
01:09:03,410 --> 01:09:05,570
- Sir, I've got burnouts
all across the board.

1342
01:09:05,620 --> 01:09:07,614
Something's drawing too much power!

1343
01:09:07,664 --> 01:09:09,699
- Safety override. Reactors to 150.

1344
01:09:09,749 --> 01:09:11,868
Pull the stops. Now!

1345
01:09:14,462 --> 01:09:15,413
- Steady now.

1346
01:09:15,463 --> 01:09:16,665
- We got this.

1347
01:09:32,314 --> 01:09:34,057
Fire! Tear me a hole right through her!

1348
01:09:34,107 --> 01:09:35,392
Firing!

1349
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:39,487
- Hydra 1...

1350
01:09:40,405 --> 01:09:41,531
Fire!

1351
01:10:11,561 --> 01:10:12,830
And we've done it again!

1352
01:10:12,854 --> 01:10:15,140
Shut her off!

1353
01:10:19,027 --> 01:10:22,572
Conn, target has
broken into two pieces.

1354
01:10:23,448 --> 01:10:25,901
Both are drifting away from us.

1355
01:10:30,455 --> 01:10:31,915
- Reactor status.

1356
01:10:33,208 --> 01:10:35,535
- Reactors are holding stable.

1357
01:10:35,585 --> 01:10:37,287
- We're all right.

1358
01:10:37,337 --> 01:10:38,622
We're okay.

1359
01:10:38,672 --> 01:10:40,290
- Alive, at any rate.

1360
01:10:40,340 --> 01:10:41,583
Check for damage.

1361
01:10:41,633 --> 01:10:42,709
- Aye sir.

1362
01:10:44,928 --> 01:10:47,672
Looks like the fat lady called it a day.

1363
01:10:47,722 --> 01:10:50,592
- You're a dork Salles.

1364
01:10:55,355 --> 01:10:56,648
- Are you all right captain?

1365
01:10:57,607 --> 01:10:59,851
Can you receive a damage report?

1366
01:10:59,901 --> 01:11:01,361
- Kill the alarm.

1367
01:11:02,445 --> 01:11:05,156
All compartments, report damage to LSO.

1368
01:11:09,494 --> 01:11:11,696
We shouldn't have been
able to survive that.

1369
01:11:11,746 --> 01:11:13,823
- No, we shouldn't.

1370
01:11:13,873 --> 01:11:16,076
It was Royce on the MFC.

1371
01:11:16,126 --> 01:11:18,036
Without the Testudo we'd
have had hull breaches

1372
01:11:18,086 --> 01:11:19,796
with the first hits.

1373
01:11:21,965 --> 01:11:25,293
His presence of mind just
saved all of our lives.

1374
01:11:25,343 --> 01:11:28,346
And without his quick thinking,
we'd all be finished...

1375
01:11:32,475 --> 01:11:35,395
The pressure
doors are still open!

1376
01:11:40,734 --> 01:11:43,361
- I need to see how much of
my ship is still working.

1377
01:12:18,313 --> 01:12:19,973
Hull breach.

1378
01:12:20,023 --> 01:12:22,317
Hull breach. Hull breach.

1379
01:12:23,193 --> 01:12:24,769
Releasing sealing agent.

1380
01:12:28,698 --> 01:12:30,525
Hull breach.

1381
01:12:30,575 --> 01:12:32,202
Sealing pressure doors.

1382
01:12:33,912 --> 01:12:35,238
- What is going on?

1383
01:12:35,288 --> 01:12:36,906
What is happening to my ship?

1384
01:12:36,956 --> 01:12:38,225
- We're breached aft in engineering.

1385
01:12:38,249 --> 01:12:40,201
They've been sealed off.

1386
01:12:40,251 --> 01:12:41,270
- Ventilate them. They need air!

1387
01:12:41,294 --> 01:12:43,481
- Captain, the back pressure
will bleed the entire system.

1388
01:12:43,505 --> 01:12:44,914
We'll all depressurize!

1389
01:12:44,964 --> 01:12:46,499
- Use O2 tank 3!

1390
01:12:46,549 --> 01:12:48,569
Dump the entire thing into
the chamber of wholesale.

1391
01:12:48,593 --> 01:12:49,836
Come on!

1392
01:12:49,886 --> 01:12:51,221
- Sven!

1393
01:12:52,305 --> 01:12:53,431
Sve...

1394
01:12:55,517 --> 01:12:57,135
SCRAM the reactor!

1395
01:12:57,185 --> 01:12:58,395
SCRA...

1396
01:12:59,229 --> 01:13:00,930
- Salles!

1397
01:13:00,980 --> 01:13:02,682
The breach will be sealed in a moment.

1398
01:13:10,990 --> 01:13:12,859
- Fire in engineering!

1399
01:13:14,369 --> 01:13:16,413
- Belay oxygen. Release CO2.

1400
01:13:20,750 --> 01:13:22,660
- It's not releasing.

1401
01:13:27,882 --> 01:13:30,001
Hull breach sealed.

1402
01:13:30,051 --> 01:13:30,835
- Salles!

1403
01:13:33,596 --> 01:13:36,841
I need you to get on the CO2.

1404
01:13:48,903 --> 01:13:49,946
- Go!

1405
01:13:55,952 --> 01:13:57,954
- Is there anything else that we can do?

1406
01:13:58,830 --> 01:14:00,698
- Nothing.

1407
01:14:00,748 --> 01:14:03,326
If they can't get that fire out.

1408
01:14:24,981 --> 01:14:26,933
Reactor SCRAM.

1409
01:14:26,983 --> 01:14:28,151
Reactor SCRAM.

1410
01:14:32,322 --> 01:14:33,606
Reactor SCRAM.

1411
01:15:16,616 --> 01:15:18,359
We're on auxiliary power.

1412
01:15:18,409 --> 01:15:19,777
I think the fire is out, captain.

1413
01:15:19,827 --> 01:15:21,329
- Release the oxygen!

1414
01:15:33,591 --> 01:15:35,210
- Salles, you all right?

1415
01:15:35,260 --> 01:15:37,178
Come on, you all right?

1416
01:15:38,763 --> 01:15:39,931
Its all right.

1417
01:15:41,808 --> 01:15:43,009
- Talk to me. Come on.

1418
01:15:43,059 --> 01:15:43,843
- I have to help.

1419
01:15:43,893 --> 01:15:45,687
- No! No! There's nothing you can do!

1420
01:15:45,979 --> 01:15:47,313
Let me go!

1421
01:15:56,948 --> 01:15:58,366
- It's all right.

1422
01:15:59,367 --> 01:16:00,367
Easy.

1423
01:16:01,327 --> 01:16:03,321
- He's sleeping.

1424
01:16:03,371 --> 01:16:04,539
- Yeah.

1425
01:16:06,457 --> 01:16:09,627
- He's... he's sleeping...

1426
01:16:27,645 --> 01:16:30,940
The hull breach
is temporarily patched,

1427
01:16:31,858 --> 01:16:33,017
but we need a drydock before

1428
01:16:33,067 --> 01:16:35,028
we can reasonably go into combat again.

1429
01:16:35,612 --> 01:16:37,730
All five rail gun mounts are nonresponsive

1430
01:16:37,780 --> 01:16:39,365
since that last hit.

1431
01:16:40,867 --> 01:16:42,986
Auxiliary fuel tanks are destroyed.

1432
01:16:43,036 --> 01:16:44,495
That's what started the fire.

1433
01:16:46,372 --> 01:16:48,533
We're running in limited
capacity on battery backup,

1434
01:16:48,583 --> 01:16:49,659
which...

1435
01:16:49,709 --> 01:16:51,411
- Won't give us enough power to maneuver.

1436
01:16:51,461 --> 01:16:53,162
Move on.

1437
01:16:53,212 --> 01:16:55,456
11 men are dead, 15 wounded,

1438
01:16:55,506 --> 01:16:57,792
and only three of the
engine crew survived.

1439
01:16:57,842 --> 01:17:00,837
All the computers crashed in
the switchover to battery.

1440
01:17:00,887 --> 01:17:02,239
Some of the systems have re-booted,

1441
01:17:02,263 --> 01:17:04,173
but others are just gone.

1442
01:17:04,223 --> 01:17:06,410
The good news is whatever got
into our thruster control,

1443
01:17:06,434 --> 01:17:09,270
seems to have been flushed
out by the system crash.

1444
01:17:15,610 --> 01:17:16,611
- Okay.

1445
01:17:18,696 --> 01:17:19,947
Tell me bad part.

1446
01:17:21,032 --> 01:17:23,276
- The SSD has taken significant damage

1447
01:17:23,326 --> 01:17:27,572
and, Tamai's obviously not up
to repairing or operating it.

1448
01:17:27,622 --> 01:17:28,622
And no one else on board

1449
01:17:28,665 --> 01:17:30,625
has his knowledge or experience.

1450
01:17:32,669 --> 01:17:34,170
- We can't go home.

1451
01:17:36,297 --> 01:17:37,332
This is a disaster.

1452
01:17:37,382 --> 01:17:38,166
- Marcus.

1453
01:17:38,216 --> 01:17:39,584
- It wasn't even the right ship!

1454
01:17:39,634 --> 01:17:41,594
- You should be proud of your crew sir.

1455
01:17:42,428 --> 01:17:43,630
Whoever the Voltairine was,

1456
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:44,907
she would have preyed on others,

1457
01:17:44,931 --> 01:17:46,674
possibly our allies.

1458
01:17:46,724 --> 01:17:49,644
We lost some good men but that
happens in this profession.

1459
01:17:50,603 --> 01:17:51,603
Sir...

1460
01:17:53,815 --> 01:17:55,400
you should be proud of them all.

1461
01:18:00,154 --> 01:18:03,282
- I suppose we've done
our part in this search.

1462
01:18:08,454 --> 01:18:10,281
Reactor is critical.

1463
01:18:10,331 --> 01:18:12,408
Reactor is critical.

1464
01:18:12,458 --> 01:18:15,628
All engines ready to,
begin standard maneuvers.

1465
01:18:16,713 --> 01:18:18,623
- There's the real good news.

1466
01:18:18,673 --> 01:18:20,416
The reactor was somehow undamaged.

1467
01:18:20,466 --> 01:18:21,860
It looks like our surviving crew members

1468
01:18:21,884 --> 01:18:23,636
were able to get it up and running.

1469
01:18:26,305 --> 01:18:27,724
Will you take the Conn?

1470
01:18:35,356 --> 01:18:37,275
- Give me five minutes.

1471
01:18:45,199 --> 01:18:46,609
- How about you Tom?

1472
01:18:46,659 --> 01:18:47,994
Are you holding up?

1473
01:18:48,911 --> 01:18:51,330
- Oh yes! I'm just fine!

1474
01:18:52,790 --> 01:18:55,368
You're right. This is a disaster.

1475
01:18:55,418 --> 01:18:56,661
It's my disaster.

1476
01:18:56,711 --> 01:18:57,495
- Oh, knock it off!

1477
01:18:57,545 --> 01:18:58,689
- I just thought that you should make

1478
01:18:58,713 --> 01:19:00,707
a real decision for once!

1479
01:19:00,757 --> 01:19:02,458
- And I did.

1480
01:19:02,508 --> 01:19:04,135
And I have to live with it.

1481
01:19:05,219 --> 01:19:06,471
You don't.

1482
01:19:11,809 --> 01:19:14,228
Pull yourself together and have a drink.

1483
01:19:32,622 --> 01:19:34,373
- How about the navigation systems?

1484
01:19:35,625 --> 01:19:37,210
- What? Oh.

1485
01:19:38,252 --> 01:19:39,712
Completely dead.

1486
01:19:40,713 --> 01:19:42,507
I can still do manual plots.

1487
01:19:43,925 --> 01:19:45,334
I'll get us into port.

1488
01:19:45,384 --> 01:19:47,637
- You'll have to get us home after that.

1489
01:19:50,264 --> 01:19:54,302
- You want me to calculate
a transition, by hand.

1490
01:19:54,352 --> 01:19:57,388
- Proper help is unlikely to
present itself at St. Nishith.

1491
01:19:57,438 --> 01:19:59,807
Equipment to repair the drive, maybe,

1492
01:19:59,857 --> 01:20:01,934
but personnel, I think not.

1493
01:20:01,984 --> 01:20:04,270
- But I barely even
scrapped those classes.

1494
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:06,063
And without Dennis here to run the drive,

1495
01:20:06,113 --> 01:20:07,648
If we can even get It fixed...

1496
01:20:07,698 --> 01:20:09,818
- Then you'd better break
out the displacement manual.

1497
01:20:09,867 --> 01:20:12,111
Work with Gary on this.

1498
01:20:12,161 --> 01:20:13,029
We're gonna need a second

1499
01:20:13,079 --> 01:20:15,448
just in case something happens to you.

1500
01:20:15,498 --> 01:20:16,824
Not Gary, Kai.

1501
01:20:16,874 --> 01:20:19,377
Gary will be busy unsticking the guns.

1502
01:20:22,547 --> 01:20:25,833
It'll be at least two weeks
until we reach The Fell.

1503
01:20:25,883 --> 01:20:27,710
Just long enough, to get used to the idea

1504
01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:29,212
of becoming an Arkwright.

1505
01:20:29,262 --> 01:20:30,046
- Marcus.

1506
01:20:30,096 --> 01:20:30,880
- Don't call me Marcus.

1507
01:20:30,930 --> 01:20:32,682
Get on it right away.

1508
01:21:01,711 --> 01:21:03,796
- Your orders, captain?

1509
01:21:13,681 --> 01:21:14,682
- Helm,

1510
01:21:15,725 --> 01:21:17,393
come to course 185,

1511
01:21:18,394 --> 01:21:20,346
by 046.

1512
01:21:20,396 --> 01:21:22,273
Roll angle 31 degrees.

1513
01:21:23,608 --> 01:21:25,484
Best safe speed to St. Nishith.

1514
01:21:26,819 --> 01:21:28,062
Aye sir.

1515
01:21:28,112 --> 01:21:30,489
Course, 185 by 046.

1516
01:21:32,116 --> 01:21:33,868
Roll angle 31 degrees.

1517
01:21:35,119 --> 01:21:36,329
Thrusting ahead.
