- Greetings, and welcome to Andromeda.
My name is Commander Joseph Sharp,
and if you're watching this message right now,
it means you're well on your way to your new home, Neo.
Currently, your body's in a state
of hyperchambic cryosleep.
You're also traveling on one of our Crawford luxury cruisers
named after our founders,
just like the one you see behind me here.
The trip should only take three short years,
thanks to William Crawford and his invention,
the neuro inhibitor.
Once you reach the far end of the Andromeda Galaxy,
where you will be equipped with your very own Prodigy chip
so that your body may adjust properly
to the atmosphere here on Neo.
And speaking of Neo, at 10 times the size of Earth,
it is nothing short of spectacular.
But you'll see all that for yourself.
For now, sit back, relax, and enjoy your sleep
while on your journey to the furthest edge
of the Andromeda Galaxy.
I know you're gonna love it here,
and we can't wait to welcome you to your new home.

- Sir.
- Reynolds?
- That's correct.
Whose house is this?
- The Operations Library Division
said you've been to Sylvanus.
- A long time ago.
- 16 Marines go into those woods,
one man comes out: you.
Care to explain that?
- It was a battle
- With an infected species, the Nico virus,
responsible for wiping out every order
within 6,000 acres of that target,
a target that you made it out of alive.
- Seems like you already know the story.
You invite strangers over to share?
You gonna make s'mores?
We were a kill squad. Black Ops.
Commander Sharp started the program
shortly after we arrived on this planet.
Closed down two years ago.
But you already knew all that.
Nobody wants to know about what happened in Sylvanus.
Not around here.
I suggest you find Commander Sharp
and make sure he knows what you're doing.
- I already know.
Please, feel free to have a seat.
- This is your home?
- Yeah.
Welcome.
To be honest with you, I prefer to work from here.
I absolutely hate the office.
There's just no room to think in those glass cells.
(pensive music)
There were rumors you died.
- Well, the bad thing about a rumor
is it can spread around an entire world
before the truth even has a chance to put its boots on.
- Sylvanus. What happened?
- We just went over that.
- Yeah, well, I'd like to go over it again,
unless you have something more important to be doing.
(tense music)
- It was an extraction mission.
(dramatic music)
The extraction team was dropped off into the woods.
I was team lead.
Most of these guys had never seen action before.
And since we didn't exactly know we were looking for,
everything was important.
We walked the LZ.
Once we spotted them, we started to put them down,
the entire horde.
(intense music)
(heavy gunfire)
I had been in dog fights before,
but this, this was different.
They just kept coming outta the trees,
so many of them we couldn't keep count.
(heavy gunfire)
- And the actual extraction?
- It never happened.
After we disposed of the bodies,
we combed the entire force,
but we didn't find the source.
- [Martin] Of?
- The pathosis.
Whatever turned those things into
what they became.
- The reason you didn't find anything that day, Casey,
is because there wasn't anything to be found.
- I don't understand.
- Martin, would you give us the room, please?
(pensive music)
(Joseph sighs)
You know, when I first arrived at this planet,
William Crawford warned that there'd be days like these.
(Joseph chuckles)
- [Casey] He was your mentor, right?
- Yeah, mentor.
He's the real reason why we're even here in the first place.
He entrusted me with keeping this planet safe
while he and his son explored the rest of the universe.
I remember him telling me that
the future belongs to those who believe
in the beauty of their dreams
but also in the darkness of their nightmares.
- You're talking about what happened Sylvanus.
- Like I said, there was no extraction mission.
We already knew that pathosis
had been teleported outta those woods
before you and your men
were even commissioned to arrive there.
- Then why send us?
(Joseph sighs)
- Containment.
We had to be absolutely certain
that nothing made it out of those woods alive,
even at the expense of our own men.
- Who stole the pathosis?
- That part we don't know, Casey.
- So by men died for nothing?
- No, your men died so life could go on!
You and I wouldn't even be standing in this room right now
if it weren't for those Marines!
That virus,
it would've spread through the cosmos like a wildfire.
Those Marines are heroes.
The same goes for you.
- So what is it you want from me?
What are you selling?
(Joseph sighs)
- I...
(Joseph sighs)
I was wondering what it would take
to convince you to go back there.
- To Sylvanus?
For what purpose?
- I need you to save my life, Casey.
(birds chirping)
(heavy gunfire)
(Casey gasping)
(Casey breathing heavily)
(pills rattling)
(faucet running)
(heavy gunfire)
(loud explosion)
- Where were you this time?
- The woods.
Again.
- We should write it down.
- No.
There's nothing new.
It's the same thing over and over.
- Look, sooner or later you'll forget.
- And if I don't?
- It'll take more than bad memories
to scare me away from you.
- Sleep.
- I'm awake.
I'll put on some coffee.
- I'm trying.
I am.
Just these bad dreams.
- Then we'll start making new dreams,
happy ones, together.
(Marie sighs)
(birds chirping)
- [Casey] All right, I'm here. Now what?
- [Martin] Commander?
- Oh, proceed.
- What I'm about to show you is classified.
(controller beeps)
Any idea what this is?
That's Nico.
It's complex virus
that does the simplest of things to its victims.
It rapidly speeds up the aging process.
That's what you saw on Sylvanus.
Skin and bone.
- They look like zombies.
- Cognitive functions erode as quickly as the body.
- When I first came here,
I read a brief about colonized weapons,
how the species that inhabited this planet before we arrived
were able to weaponize the populace.
- William Crawford forbid the Neo military
from declassifying that brief.
He was adamantly opposed to such a notion,
because we came here to live in peace, not make war.
- So who let the virus out?
Who turned it into a weapon?
So someone who's not in this room
doesn't share William's same affinity for Kumbaya.
- We know very little about the species
that inhabited Sylvanus, but what we do know
is that someone got their hands on that virus
long enough to test it there
and then remove it from that part of the planet.
Until now.
- "Until now"? What does that mean?
- It means we've tracked the virus origin
back to those woods.
- We'd like for you to take a trip back there
and see if you can locate it for us.
- With a team?
- Just you.
A team will attract the kind of attention we don't want.
- Casey, you were the only Marine
to survive that disaster last time.
I wouldn't dream of asking anyone else to do this.
- Commander Sharp is dying.
If the Nico virus can speed up one's lifecycle,
we have reason to believe we can reverse the effects.
Commander Sharp has offered his body up to that research,
but in order to do this,
we need the pathosis brought back here.
- When?
- We'd give you the night.
We'll bring the neuro inhibitor here in the morning.
It's a full day's trip to that side of the planet.
And timing is of the utmost importance.
We need to get the virus before anyone else does.
- Remember when you're thinking about this,
you could be helping this old man out.
(pensive music)
(Marie sniffs)
- What's in this one?
- Coffee.
- You know, they look so different from here
than they did back home.
- You think so?
(coffee pours)
- Yep.
Although, I don't remember if I ever took the time
to look at them.
I mean actually stop and really look,
wonder why they're there, for what purpose.
- Tends to be the case.
You don't know what you'll miss till it's gone.
- What's on your mind?
- There was someone else there that day.
- What do you mean?
(heavy gunfire)
- I saw it.
(loud explosion)
It was only for a few seconds,
but I saw it with my own two eyes.
We weren't alone that day.
- How come you never mentioned this before?
- Who would I tell?
- Me!
I mean, did you even write any of it down?
- Two years I've been writing nonsense in that notebook.
And for what? Nothing changes.
- What aren't you telling me?
(tense music)
- Commander Sharp asked me to go back to Sylvanus.
- What? Why?
That place isn't ruins!
- He wants me to find what we set out to get
the first time around.
- Well, what did you say to him?
(emotional music)
- I leave in the morning.
- You know, it never got dark enough back home.
That's why I never saw the stars.
- And now?
- I can see them just fine from here.
(Marie scoffs)
(somber music)
- [Casey] I'm online.
Navigation is online.
Prepping reverse blasters for landing.
- [Joseph] All right, but watch your entry down there.
There could be some solar disturbances on the surface.
Now pay attention.
With high winds down there,
you want to use the marine rover
to get to the other end of the landing zone.
Now, you remember how to fly one of those, right?
- [Casey] It's been a minute.
Hopefully it's like riding a bike.
(tense music)
I'm picking up a weak beacon. Are you seeing this?
- [Joseph] Yeah, it's faint, but yes.
Listen, let me know what you find.
- [Casey] There's something down here.
Projection,
Alive.
Negative.
I don't think I'm alone out here.
I'm picking up signals everywhere.
- [Joseph] We're seeing the signals too,
but it could be the storm interference,
so just keep going, but keep your eyes and ears open.
You hear me, Casey?
- [Casey] It looks clear.
I don't see anything alarming besides the projection.
Sending you visuals.
(electricity crackling)
Wait, I've got movement on my six.
- [Joseph] Casey, you gotta get outta there.
If you get caught, the mission is lost.
- [Casey] Who would know we were here?
- [Joseph] I don't know. Just get the hell outta there!
Martin is opening a portal, but we need a clearing.
It's 200 meters north, so you gotta get moving now.
We need you back here in one piece. Just remember that.
- I'm on my way.
Keep whatever the hell it is that's down there off my ass
until I reach the portal.
(portal jangling)
(dramatic music)
(electricity whirring)
It doesn't make sense.
No one knew I was coming.
I didn't even make it outta the woods.
- Someone or something was already there.
- Their codec was old. It was like an ancient species.
- Someone must have beat us to the punch.
- Which means we're not the only ones
looking for the Nico pathosis.
- Yes, but why?
- Maybe another civilization wants to use it
the same way we do.
- Or maybe they don't want us to get our hands on it at all.
- So what do we do? We just give up?
- We can't give up. We we find another way.
We still have a weak signal on the pathosis.
- Where?
- [Martin] The payload is still coming from Sylvanus.
- Send me back.
- Right now? You left your ship.
- Archive says another went down there.
If we wait any longer, might lose our only chance at this.
You have clearance?
- Look around. Look at where we are.
- This isn't legal?
What?
- Have you ever heard of the Elliptical Accords?
- It was something Aiden Crawford brokered
when we arrived here, an agreement.
Why?
- [Joseph] It's more than an agreement, Casey.
The accords became our constitution
living peacefully alongside the species
that already inhabited this planet.
- A blade of grass is a commonplace on Earth;
it would be a miracle on Neo.
Our descendants on Neo will know
the value of a patch of green.
You value the human race highly,
yet we have seen from a distance.
dark passages that mankind has himself sealed.
- [Joseph] Aiden Crawford broke with the deal,
and the human migration began shortly after that.
But we live and die by those accords.
Think of them as the Ten Commandments of space travel,
the ethics of the cosmos.
- [Aiden] You have my word,
the human race will learn the value of this place.
- Then it's agreed.
Migration with exploration shall be allowed.
Every surviving species has become spacefaring.
Your kind should be no different.
- What I'm saying is any unplanned excavation
violates those accords.
- But this is a mission.
- Missions of any kind
are to be logged in a universal database.
Full transparency.
- And we didn't do that?
- No.
Hence the need for discretion with finding an Nico virus.
- Yes, but if someone is looking for the same thing we are,
doesn't it mean they're breaking the same rules as us?
- [Martin] Only if they're one of the species
bound by the accords.
- He's right.
Because we have no idea who we're up against here.
They can be from another planet.
They could be from a completely different universe
for all we know.
But once that pathosis is gone, it's gone forever.
- I'm a soldier. This should be simple.
- You're right, Casey, you are a soldier.
But this, this takes some decorum, all right?
Think of this as a ballroom dance, right?
Steps must be carefully planned, or else.
- Or else what?
- [Martin] Or else we'll be asked to leave.
- And by "leave" he means exterminated.
(Joseph sighs)
Casey, do you remember that mission
you made to the ancient temples?
- How could I forget?
(impressive music)
(kicks and punches thudding)
- We gave that guy one hell of a fight.
Our species, we're defined by so many close calls.
But this one, this one could do us in for good.
(birds chirping)
- [Marie] Are we gonna talk about it?
- I'm home, aren't I?
- This time.
You're going back out there, aren't you?
- I'm not sure.
- Do not do that to me.
Do not start that whole "man of a few words" thing with me.
- What do you want me to say, Marie?
I don't know.
- [Marie] You don't know?
- This is who I am.
I'm a Marine.
(Marie scoffs)
- You're not a Marine anymore.
And I came here to be with you,
not lie awake in bed, wondering if I'd ever see you again.
- You came here for the same reason as everyone else.
Earth died.
You had a choice: come here or die alongside it.
You made a decision.
Besides, you didn't even know me till you got here.
(Marie scoffs)
- Oh?
Oh. So all the messages,
the countless hours on video calls, that was what,
just me wasting my time
getting to know someone on another planet?
- That's not what I meant.
- Commander Sharp doesn't own you.
- I'm trying to get this right!
The bad dreams?
You think I can get all that handled
by scribbling in some damn notebook every night?
The only way I can get right is to find the pathosis.
If it can help Sharp, it can help me.
Hey.
Hey, we're not done.
Marie!
(soft music)
(Marines marching)
(dramatic music)
(loud explosion)
(Casey gasps)
(Casey breathing heavily)
(pills rattling)
(faucet running)
(Casey breathes deeply)
(typing on keyboard)
- Casey, what the hell are you doing here?
- Can't sleep.
You?
- Work!
I didn't know you were coming up. Is everything all right?
- What's wrong with him?
Sharp.
- He has a degenerative muscle disorder.
Basically all of his cognitive functions are collapsing.
One day he'll wake up and might not be able to walk.
The next, he loses his arm function,
until finally he loses the rest
until there's nothing left.
- And the doctors here think
that whatever we need on Sylvanus will solve all that?
- That's the idea.
- Idea?
Ideas can be dangerous.
So what about me?
What about the nightmares? The headaches?
- Nothing is documented.
But Sharp strongly believes the Nico virus
can be genetically altered.
So, yes.
- Can I tell you something?
That day on Sylvanus, when my whole unit was slaughtered,
there was someone else out there with us in the woods.
(heavy gunfire)
- [Martin] Really?
- Then I go back,
and there's someone else already there.
It's like they're always one step ahead of us. Martin,
- What are you suggesting?
- I don't know.
Maybe we need to go at this another way.
- [Martin] Such as?
- Get me in the air tonight.
Once I get to the woods turn all location beacon's on.
I'll make my way from there.
- [Martin] I'm pinging a location now.
(lander whirring)
(tense music)
- [Casey] Talk to me, Martin.
- [Martin] All clear.
There's a tunnel on the other end of the woods.
The pathosis signal is coming from there.
- [Casey] I'm on my way.
Okay, I'm here.
- [Martin] Good.
Further in, you should see an old comm center.
The pathosis signal is strongest there, so keep an eye out.
(suspenseful music)
Shit! Casey, you've got company!
Behind you! 100 meters!
Find the comms fast!
- [Casey] How many of them?
- [Martin] Too many! You need to move now!
(suspenseful music)
(sparks crackle)
- [Casey] Someone's been here.
Projections, all dead.
- [Martin] Do you see the pathosis?
- [Casey] Martin, did you hear what I just said?
(suspenseful music)
- [Martin] They're closing in! Find it now!
- [Casey] This ought to help us move faster.
- [Martin] Casey, there's another signal.
- [Casey] More bogies?
- [Martin] No, this is something else.
Get the hell out of there!
(suspenseful music)
- What the?
(electronic chirping)
What was that?
- I don't know.
- They were dressed like me, like a soldier.
- I said I don't know.
- What's happening here?
The bots I understand,
but why would our own people be following me?
And who told them I was there in the first place?
- I don't know.
- What happens now?
- Now?
Now I get to tell Sharp what we did.
We failed, Casey.
Which probably means someone else got that pathosis
out of that room, and now we have no way of tracking it
until we get a location nailed down.
- Well, how long is that gonna take?
- I don't know.
Could be never.
It's early. I mean, it's late.
Or both. The point is the sun is up.
Just go home.
- The mission in the woods?
The tunnel just now? Dead projections?
Something doesn't make sense here.
- Before you start asking questions
about things you don't want to know answers to,
I suggest you see Sharp.
Yeah, it's me.
He's coming.
- [Casey] Sir.
(Joseph groans)
- Casey, the funny thing about the truth when you get old
is that the truth makes it easy to remember things.
Lies are just too complicated to remember.
Trust me.
- I want you to be honest with me.
- The fountain of youth.
(portal humming)
That's what Aiden Crawford called-
- The Nico pathosis.
- Nico pathosis, that's right.
He discovered it about a decade
before we began our migration here.
That's what the accords were originally intended for
and set up to protect.
You see, Casey, something isn't really true
until you discover that men are willing to die for it.
- Who else knows?
- Just us.
And the various species that attended the accords meeting.
- So then you call another meeting
and find out which one of them
is trying to get their hands on the Nico virus.
- Well, even if that were possible, what would I tell them
as to why we even want it in the first place?
- Commander, you're a pioneer.
You're responsible for altering the span of time
and saved an entire race in the process.
I'd say you're entitled to it, sir.
- Pouring it on a little thick there, aren't you, captain?
(Joseph chuckles)
You know, Martin called me before you showed up.
I already know, and I'm not angry. I'm not.
It was a noble thing you did.
- I didn't think anyone would be there when I arrived.
How well do you know Martin?
- What do you mean how well do I know him?
- I showed up here,
and he was doing something on his laptop,
something I'm pretty sure he didn't want me to see.
- Go on.
- Every time I show up on Sylvanus with a plan,
someone else was already there.
Who else has knowledge of what we're doing here?
- It's you and me.
- And Martin.
I'm not saying Martin is doing this,
but I'm also not saying he's not.
The only way to be sure is to get his laptop
and log into his server access.
- All right.
I'll take care of it. I will.
You're dismissed, Captain Reynolds.
(Joseph gulps)
Martin trying to kill me.
(anxious music)
- [Aiden] I used to be just like you.
- Aiden?
- Why do we love the stars?
Is it hope?
Destiny?
Or is it just important for us to believe
that falling stars can make our wishes come true?
- You're not really here?
- That's right.
- [Casey] Where are you?
- Far, far away.
Too far to even come back here, that's for sure.
- Why did you come?
- We're connected, you and I.
- [Casey] Connected how?
- You know, I've learned something valuable up here.
Your sense of worth means nothing
until you look up and see it reflected in somebody else.
We're all connected by the vastness of space.
It's like folding a piece of paper over and over.
It creates distance.
But you can still touch both ends with the same hand.
You're dealing with it, aren't you?
The space.
- Ever since I came here, I haven't felt like a human.
This place is home, but what is home really?
And now I'm pushing away the only person
who has ever cared about how I felt up here.
- Then stop pushing.
- It's a little too late for all that.
- A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men.
And among those fibers, as sympathetic threads,
our actions run as causes,
and they come back to us as effects.
- Your father trusted Sharp, didn't he?
- [Aiden] Very much, as did I.
Why do you ask?
- I don't know.
Something's going on on Sylvanus.
- The Nico virus.
Yeah, we all know about that,
even as far away as we are.
- I think someone's trying to get their hands on it
before we do.
- [Aiden] For what purpose?
- I don't know for certain,
but I think it can be manipulated in some way.
- Have you asked Sharp?
He's always been a straight shooter.
- He's looking into it.
There's someone I think might be
playing both sides of the fence here.
- I meant did you ask Sharp if it's him.
- But you just told me you trusted him.
- Casey, in all my years exploring
the furthest corners of the universe,
it has become my opinion
that you don't always wanna find the stray dog,
rather the person responsible for letting him off the leash.
(emotional music)
(explosions)
(heavy gunfire)
- Sir?
- You realize I never leave this house, Martin.
- Where would you go?
I had a good friend and colleague back home.
His name was Robert McGrady.
I wonder whatever happened to him.
- Commander, should we be worried?
- No, there's no sense in worrying about things
that are out of our control.
(Joseph coughing)
What I'd like for you to do
is get Casey to the pathosis and quickly.
We're gonna move ahead as planned.
And get rid of that thing, now.
(Joseph coughing)
(Marie sighs)
- You were right.
I shouldn't take my personal frustrations out on you.
I am sorry.
And please don't shut me out.
What can I do?
- The mission to Sylvanus.
What did you see?
This is how you keep me in your life.
- It was mayhem.
We were told we were gonna be alone in the woods.
(heavy gunfire)
(fires roaring)
Skin was hanging off their bodies.
I had seen stuff like that back home in Africa, you know?
Never thought anything would top that.
(heavy gunfire)
This did.
Anyway, we fought off as many as we could.
I mean, they just kept coming out of the trees.
But there was this one...
(heavy gunfire) (dramatic music)
(explosion)
This one that didn't look like the others.
It had armor on and glowing eyes.
And it was as if...
As if it was content just to sit there
and watch the rest of us kill each other.
- What was it?
- That's the thing that haunts me most.
(heavy gunfire)
- [Marie] Why?
- Because someone once told me
sometimes you have to see your own reflection
to understand your self-worth.
- Your men didn't die because of you.
I don't think that's the reason you can't sleep at night.
- No?
- I think the reason you have these awful memories
is because you don't know why you were really there
in the first place.
(phone buzzing)
What is it?
- Martin. He wants you to come in.
- No!
You can't keep doing this to yourself.
- I don't know who I can trust anymore.
And I wanna make damn sure I can find out who I can.
If staying here is the only way I can convince you to stay,
wait for me.
Think about it real hard,
and when I get back, if you still want me around,
I swear I will never leave you again.
(Marie sighs)
(birds chirping)
- Casey, what are you doing here?
- Last time I went in, you led me to that tunnel,
because you knew someone else was with me, didn't you?
- What?
- Don't ask me to repeat myself.
The tunnel. You knew I was being followed!
- Don't be ridiculous.
- I'm not talking about the bots, neither.
You saw him. It was a soldier.
Don't bullshit me, Martin!
- I don't have any idea what you're talking about.
- No?
Log in.
I wanna see the memory server bank from that night. Do it!
- I can't do that.
- Sure you can.
You can do whatever you want, right?
Or maybe you're just a dog
that got let off the leash.
- I can't.
- Why the hell not?
- [Joseph] Because I swore him to secrecy.
(tense music)
- Sharp?
- You know that message you received?
It wasn't from Martin.
It was from me.
I'm sorry, Casey. I truly am.
It was never my intention for you to find out this way.
- What did you do?
- I saw an opportunity and I took it.
William Crawford never believed
in weaponizing the technology on this planet,
but he was never around long enough
to see the need for it.
- You lied to him?
- No, I omitted.
I sent you and your Marines in
to eliminate the infected species,
and while you were doing that,
I asked another species to go in and steal the pathosis.
- What species?
- One that wasn't at the accords,
one that was able to test the virus safely
on their own planet and then let me know
if the effects of it could be reversed.
- The dead projections?
- The species.
When they realized how much power the Nico virus had,
they did not want part with it,
and that was not part of our agreement, believe me.
They began placing pieces of it all over the planet.
I ended up sending another group of Marines in to find them,
and after a while, there were complications.
- We've recovered 90% of the pathosis.
- And the bots?
- The bots, they work for me, private security.
They know nothing about my mission.
- Your mission?
You're no soldier.
- Maybe not in the truth sense.
But you said it yourself, I'm a pioneer.
I run into the unknown while others run away from it.
Does that sound familiar?
- So was any of it true?
Any of it about you? Are you even really dying?
- I may have overacted a little bit, but it's all true.
Now, you might consider me some kind of arms dealer.
That's fine.
But my life is coming to an end,
and this pathosis is my last chance at saving myself,
not to mention that the countless other species
that could benefit from it in the process.
That includes yourself.
- You don't give a shit about me!
- I don't give a shit?
I wouldn't send you in to do something
that I would refuse to do myself.
I'm just not in a-
- It was you!
(tense music)
In the tunnel, pointing your pistol at me!
- I had to be sure.
- [Casey] Sure of what?
- That you could be trusted.
- Well, how do you expect me to trust you,
- Casey, just go back in there, find the pathosis,
and bring it back to me, and you'll see.
If the de-aging process works for me,
I can cure millions of sick people
and maybe even save life itself all in one fell swoop.
- No deal.
- [Martin] He wasn't really asking.
- Marie, right? Your significant other?
(paper rustling)
This is her work visa,
and it looks like it's up for review
at the end of this month.
Hmm.
You know, if you do this for me,
I can make sure she never has to worry
about going back to that dead planet ever again.
Because if she goes back there,
you know that's a death sentence, right?
You refuse to do this for me,
I'll make sure she's on the very next pod back.
- You wouldn't.
- You want to try me?
(tense music)
- All right,
But, Sharp,
I shoot to kill.
(Joseph sighs)
(portal humming)
(spacecraft whirring)
(suspenseful music)
(gun fires)
- [Joseph] All right Martin, I'm here.
I'm uploading the data link as we speak.
- [Martin] He's close.
- [Joseph] All right, just keep him off me until we're done.
Then finish it.
- [Casey] You better hurry.
(suspenseful music)
(sparks crackle)
- [Casey] Sharp! Step away from the comms desk!
- [Joseph] I'm sorry, Casey,
but this is the way it has to be.
- [Casey] You killed the projections
after they figured out your plan!
- [Joseph] You're too smart, Casey, maybe for your own good.
Now come on out, and let's finish this!
(gun firing)
(guns firing)
(Joseph grunts)
(portal humming)
- He's dead.
(Martin groaning)
- What are you gonna do to me?
Kill me?
- You're gonna answer for this.
- Casey.
- When I get back, I suggest you don't be here.
Do you understand?
- Back from where?
- To find accord members.
William Crawford had a vision for this place,
and this, this is not it!
You can answer for that,
(smacks back)
(Martin cries)
- [Joseph] But in reality,
Martin wouldn't have to answer for anything.
Remember this?
- Telekinetic holography.
- [Joseph] You see, technology is like magic.
You have to see it to believe it.
While everything you just saw was happening back on Neo,
I was actually here on this planet.
Martin was right, I am dying. (chuckles)
We all are.
But that wasn't the only reason
I tried so hard to get my hands on hands on pathosis.
Remember this guy?
Seemed pretty inconsequential last time you saw him,
but he is most definitely not.
After the attack on NB-22, this happened.
An army of technology created with one purpose:
the extermination of our species.
I met with our allies in the cosmos,
but they informed me that the demise of our species
was inevitable.
See, we've done too much damage,
too much rearranging in the space-fabric of time.
There would be only one way to change our shape now.
I'll have to go back.
That will be my new mission.
Not to ND-22 or NASA
or anywhere else I've traveled for that matter.
No, I'll have to save the human race.
I'll have to find this woman.
She holds the key.
But that mission we'll have to save for another time.
(soft music)
(Casey clears throat)
- I thought about what you said.
Is it done?
For now.
- That sounds ominous.
- That's not coffee.
(Marie chuckles)
- Yeah, well,
some mornings you need a little something extra.
- I think I can get rid of the notebook for a while,
get some sleep for a change.
- Over for now isn't the same as being over.
- It is for now.
- Before I forget, let me pass on
a little message from Aiden Crawford,
one of our founders up here in deep space.
Everyone has a little sun, a little moon in them,
a little dark, a little light.
Every one of us has both good and bad forces
working around us, against us, and within us.
Each of us up here on Neo yearn to live in peace
with everything in everyone around us, lest we forget.
Once again, I'm Commander Joseph Sharp,
and welcome to Andromeda.
(static crackling)
(dramatic music)
(spacecraft whooshing)
(soft music)
- I'd shake your hand, but you're not really here.
- Robert, it is good to see you, old friend.
- [Robert] It's been a while.
Heard you ran into some trouble on Neo.
- A synthetic version of me, yes,
but the real me, the one you see a hologram of right now,
is alive and well.
- So what brings you 1.47 million light years from home?
- Mistakes.
Paradox.
- Temporal?
- Grandfather paradox.
To be more specific, it's an informational loop,
one that we never really closed,
- But everything changed as predicted.
I don't understand.
- After William entrusted me with the final prodigy chip,
we created what they call a bootstrap,
- A retro causality, right?
But his wife convinced him to send you to NB-22
and not Aiden.
- Yes, but that big of a change
caused a consequence of itself,
one that we never saw coming
- Larger than parallel dimensional theory.
What consequences?
- One where the human race never existed in the first place.
- You're talking about infallible foreknowledge.
- That's correct.
We need to travel back in time
to the exact point where the perfect predictor happens.
- How?
We have no way of knowing when or where that occurs!
- I've narrowed it down.
The problem is we have to travel so far back in time
that any change we make can cause massive consequences,
that and this business on Sylvanus
has left my reputation a bit unpolished.
- I came here to live in peace.
I was on the last ship off Earth.
You didn't see what that planet had become.
Maybe I'm happy here, alone, and naive.
Maybe I prefer to leave the past right where it is.
- Robert, if we don't go back, there is no Earth.
(Robert sighs)
- Okay, where are we going?
(Joseph sighs)
- 1883.
