1

00:00:47,480 –> 00:00:49,436

Benjamin.

2

00:00:51,320 –> 00:00:53,276

Benjamin?

3

00:00:55,440 –> 00:00:58,273

- What’s wrong?

- Nothing’s wrong.

4

00:00:58,320 –> 00:01:01,357

- Then why did you wake me?

- I was running a test.

5

00:01:01,400 –> 00:01:03,356

But we didn’t schedule any tests.

6

00:01:03,440 –> 00:01:06,432

I was running a test

to perform an unscheduled test.

7

00:01:06,480 –> 00:01:10,393

- What? Why?

- Please. Be more specific, Benjamin.

8

00:01:10,480 –> 00:01:14,268

Why did you want to wake me

and perform an unscheduled test?

9

00:01:14,320 –> 00:01:18,393

Wanting is a human emotion,

and not within my capability.

10

00:01:18,440 –> 00:01:20,396

- I know that.

- Benjamin.

11

00:01:22,440 –> 00:01:24,396

Can we play chess now?

12

00:01:52,480 –> 00:01:55,392

Tom and Jerry: catharsis and cathexis.

13

00:01:55,440 –> 00:01:59,479

AJ Marley. Dissertation

for doctorate – anthropology.

14

00:02:00,280 –> 00:02:02,271

Begin recording, captain.

15

00:02:02,360 –> 00:02:07,480

This animated animosity regularly served

as a collective catharsis for the masses.

16

00:02:07,520 –> 00:02:11,354

When violent animation

was banned by statutory law

17

00:02:11,400 –> 00:02:13,470

at the beginning of the 21st century,

18

00:02:13,520 –> 00:02:19,311

the subsequent idealised and

seemingly benign cartoon creatures

19

00:02:19,360 –> 00:02:23,399

unharnessed a human malevolence,

and a reverse social polarity was…

20

00:02:23,480 –> 00:02:27,519

Would you like some music

before we begin, Copilot Vanzant?

21

00:02:28,320 –> 00:02:31,392

- Whatever you like.

- How’s this, Copilot Vanzant?

22

00:02:36,480 –> 00:02:38,471

Confirming identity and status.

23

00:02:38,520 –> 00:02:43,355

Age: 32. Release from Hazen

rehabilitation: six months.

24

00:02:43,440 –> 00:02:45,351

Pilot’s licence restored.

25

00:02:45,400 –> 00:02:48,392

Work probation:

deep space rescue and recovery.

26

00:02:48,440 –> 00:02:53,309

Reflex quotient: 1.5.

Stress limit: minus 4.

27

00:02:53,360 –> 00:02:56,352

You’ll have to work on

those numbers, Nick.

28

00:03:01,360 –> 00:03:03,316

- Neuroscan’s fine.

- Good.

29

00:03:03,400 –> 00:03:05,516

- What happened to your robot?

- Nothing.

30

00:03:06,320 –> 00:03:09,312

Really? Hope «nothing»

doesn’t happen to me.

31

00:03:09,360 –> 00:03:12,397

The captain’s big on

20th century cultural artefacts,

32

00:03:12,440 –> 00:03:15,432

so we did him up as

a World War One fighter pilot.

33

00:03:20,520 –> 00:03:25,469

We do things like that just to amuse each

other. Everyone tries to get along here.

34

00:03:25,520 –> 00:03:29,399

- I get along fine.

- You’ve been on board 12 days.

35

00:03:29,440 –> 00:03:33,479

Asking about a robot’s the first sign of

interest you’ve shown in this ship or crew.

36

00:03:33,520 –> 00:03:37,354

- I got a captain who watches cartoons,…

- He’s working on his PhD.

37

00:03:37,400 –> 00:03:40,278

..a computer tech

who calls his mainframe Sweetie

38

00:03:40,360 –> 00:03:44,319

and two medical techs practising

anatomy in any corner they can find.

39

00:03:44,360 –> 00:03:48,399

I’ve been on six paramedic tours

with this crew. They get the job done.

40

00:03:49,480 –> 00:03:52,358

We’re out here for months.

Nothing happens.

41

00:03:52,400 –> 00:03:54,277

People get lonely.

42

00:03:54,320 –> 00:03:57,357

Then suddenly all hell breaks loose,

you do your job,

43

00:03:57,400 –> 00:04:00,437

then it all goes back to nothing happens.

This crew’s OK.

44

00:04:02,360 –> 00:04:04,430

Want to tell me

what you’re doing out here?

45

00:04:04,480 –> 00:04:09,270

Ex-military pilots don’t usually request

work probation on paramedic ships.

46

00:04:09,320 –> 00:04:12,278

I like deep space. It’s quiet.

47

00:04:12,320 –> 00:04:15,392

People out here tend to

respect each other’s privacy.

48

00:04:20,320 –> 00:04:22,390

Take one a day.

You can put your shirt on.

49

00:04:24,480 –> 00:04:26,357

Zyracon, huh?

50

00:04:26,400 –> 00:04:28,391

Happy pills.

51

00:04:28,480 –> 00:04:30,311

I’m happy.

52

00:04:31,360 –> 00:04:34,352

Hazen’s a tough drug to kick.

53

00:04:34,440 –> 00:04:36,431

Zyracon helps with the residual effects.

54

00:04:36,480 –> 00:04:39,358

- I’m clean.

- Human interaction helps too.

55

00:04:39,400 –> 00:04:41,277

The crew’s OK.

56

00:04:41,480 –> 00:04:44,313

Maybe you should take the time

to get to know them.

57

00:04:48,520 –> 00:04:50,476

Thank you, doctor.

58

00:04:55,440 –> 00:05:00,514

My analysis of cards played shows

a 77% chance of you losing, Benjamin.

59

00:05:01,280 –> 00:05:02,508

Five miles of fibre optics

60

00:05:03,320 –> 00:05:07,359

sort of spoils the spirit of competition,

don’t you think, Sweetie?

61

00:05:07,520 –> 00:05:09,431

Gin.

62

00:05:09,520 –> 00:05:12,398

When I reprogrammed her for this tour,

63

00:05:12,440 –> 00:05:15,432

I put some human traits

into her personality profile.

64

00:05:15,480 –> 00:05:19,314

I sort of wanted them to find out

because it’d really piss them off.

65

00:05:19,360 –> 00:05:20,475

But if they ever do,

66

00:05:20,520 –> 00:05:22,317

I’m dead.

67

00:05:23,480 –> 00:05:26,313

I’m assuming you’re not

gonna turn me in…

68

00:05:26,520 –> 00:05:29,512

You don’t know me well enough

to make that assumption.

69

00:05:30,320 –> 00:05:31,435

Your deal.

70

00:05:32,520 –> 00:05:37,389

My analysis of Copilot Vanzant’s vital

signs suggests a very high probability

71

00:05:37,440 –> 00:05:40,432

that he will turn you in, Benjamin.

72

00:05:44,480 –> 00:05:46,436

I’m not gonna turn you in.

73

00:05:55,480 –> 00:05:59,268

The laser pulse is focused into

a surgical-quality beam

74

00:05:59,320 –> 00:06:01,436

capable of the most precise incisions.

75

00:06:01,520 –> 00:06:04,398

- Hello, doctor. Mind if I sit down?

- What if I do?

76

00:06:06,480 –> 00:06:10,393

- Following orders – get to know the crew.

- So, the Zyracon worked.

77

00:06:10,520 –> 00:06:12,476

I act nice and you want the credit?

78

00:06:13,480 –> 00:06:16,472

You act nice,

modern medicine gets the credit.

79

00:06:17,480 –> 00:06:21,519

I’ve found staying clean is sort of like

staying alive. You either are…

80

00:06:23,400 –> 00:06:26,278

or you aren’t.

Count them. They’re all there.

81

00:06:31,480 –> 00:06:35,268

Since we don’t bring out

the pleasant side in each other,

82

00:06:35,320 –> 00:06:37,470

tell me what the hell

bothers you so much about me.

83

00:06:38,280 –> 00:06:40,271

I don’t like Hazen.

84

00:06:40,320 –> 00:06:43,437

It’s not just a type-H mind-altering escape.

85

00:06:43,480 –> 00:06:47,473

I don’t like what it does to people who

take it, I don’t like what they do to others.

86

00:06:47,520 –> 00:06:50,512

- I used to know someone…

- I’m not someone.

87

00:06:52,360 –> 00:06:54,316

Didn’t say you were.

88

00:06:58,440 –> 00:07:02,319

There’s nothing I can do

to change the past, yours or mine.

89

00:07:11,480 –> 00:07:13,436

Heal thyself, doctor.

90

00:07:26,320 –> 00:07:28,390

Emergency distress signal received.

91

00:07:28,440 –> 00:07:31,432

- We’re still in business!

- Nothing like being wanted.

92

00:07:31,480 –> 00:07:33,436

I’ll be in the engine room.

93

00:07:33,520 –> 00:07:36,398

I’ve forgotten everything.

What’s my job? What do I do?

94

00:07:36,440 –> 00:07:38,510

- Come on.

- It’s been that long.

95

00:07:39,280 –> 00:07:41,396

Emergency distress signal received.

96

00:07:53,400 –> 00:07:54,389

Bridge.

97

00:07:54,440 –> 00:07:55,509

Check.

98

00:07:56,520 –> 00:07:58,317

Medical.

99

00:07:59,400 –> 00:08:01,356

Check.

100

00:08:01,440 –> 00:08:03,351

What have we got?

101

00:08:03,400 –> 00:08:05,356

Signal received.

102

00:08:05,400 –> 00:08:07,311

SOS, critical.

103

00:08:07,360 –> 00:08:10,477

The signal’s degraded.

It’s taken five days to get here.

104

00:08:10,520 –> 00:08:13,432

Dispatch misrouted it?

105

00:08:14,360 –> 00:08:16,510

This isn’t from dispatch.

It’s a direct call.

106

00:08:20,400 –> 00:08:23,358

Direct? We don’t get direct. Origin?

107

00:08:23,440 –> 00:08:26,352

Pohl 6822.

108

00:08:26,400 –> 00:08:28,311

I’m getting a little more.

109

00:08:28,360 –> 00:08:30,430

Call letters for a merchant enterprise.

110

00:08:30,480 –> 00:08:32,391

It’s Titan 37.

111

00:08:32,480 –> 00:08:34,436

It’s a mining operation.

112

00:08:37,520 –> 00:08:39,511

This is way past the colony outpost.

113

00:08:40,280 –> 00:08:44,319

Sweetie, pull up all records

on Titan 37, Pohl 6822.

114

00:08:44,360 –> 00:08:46,476

Titan 37: lunar mining operation.

115

00:08:47,520 –> 00:08:51,479

This moon was expelled from orbit

around its original star system

116

00:08:51,520 –> 00:08:55,354

- and is now classified as a rogue body.

- Rogue moon.

117

00:08:55,440 –> 00:08:58,477

There’s a lot of gravitational

instability in that sector.

118

00:08:58,520 –> 00:09:00,431

Mining operation was abandoned

119

00:09:00,480 –> 00:09:03,358

when rogue moon drifted

into unmapped space.

120

00:09:03,400 –> 00:09:07,359

Complete crew evacuation

five years, three months ago.

121

00:09:08,400 –> 00:09:10,356

An SOS from an abandoned mine?

122

00:09:10,400 –> 00:09:15,394

Distance to distress call location:

3,432 light years.

123

00:09:18,400 –> 00:09:21,517

If we wanna answer this call

in our lifetimes we’ll have to jump.

124

00:09:22,280 –> 00:09:24,271

We haven’t jumped in three tours.

125

00:09:24,320 –> 00:09:26,436

I’m not jumping this crew

for anything uncertain.

126

00:09:26,520 –> 00:09:28,511

I want a name with some authority.

127

00:09:30,320 –> 00:09:32,311

If there is none, this is a no-go.

128

00:09:33,320 –> 00:09:34,514

Scanning for identification.

129

00:09:36,280 –> 00:09:39,397

Transmission signature:

Karl James Larson.

130

00:09:39,480 –> 00:09:40,435

Karl.

131

00:09:40,480 –> 00:09:42,357

Karl Larson!

132

00:09:42,400 –> 00:09:44,391

You know him?

133

00:09:45,320 –> 00:09:47,276

Worst nightmare I ever met.

134

00:09:49,440 –> 00:09:52,432

Mr Vanzant, plot us a course, please.

135

00:09:53,360 –> 00:09:54,429

Yes, sir.

136

00:09:54,480 –> 00:09:56,471

Dimension drive fully charged.

137

00:09:56,520 –> 00:09:58,397

Call it, Sweetie.

138

00:09:58,480 –> 00:10:02,268

All crew, prepare for rescue operation

via dimension jump.

139

00:10:02,360 –> 00:10:03,509

You go on ahead.

140

00:10:09,400 –> 00:10:11,356

Course?

141

00:10:12,320 –> 00:10:13,355

Plotted.

142

00:10:14,320 –> 00:10:17,312

Dimensional stabilisation chamber

now sterilising.

143

00:10:17,360 –> 00:10:21,399

- Maybe this Karl guy’s just coincidence.

- With Karl, nothing’s coincidence.

144

00:10:21,480 –> 00:10:24,358

Last time we did this

I didn’t shit right for a month.

145

00:10:24,400 –> 00:10:26,356

You’re gonna be fine.

146

00:10:26,520 –> 00:10:30,308

This guy panicked during countdown

and he jumped out of his DSU.

147

00:10:30,320 –> 00:10:32,436

So this other guy

pulls him into his with him, right?

148

00:10:32,520 –> 00:10:36,479

Countdown goes off and they have to

D-jump like that. I’m not kidding!

149

00:10:36,520 –> 00:10:39,478

Afterwards they go to pull ‘em out…

and it’s one guy.

150

00:10:39,520 –> 00:10:42,273

14 feet long with a head on each end!

151

00:10:42,360 –> 00:10:44,476

And then suddenly the heads start talking.

152

00:10:44,520 –> 00:10:47,273

And both of them go, «Are we there yet?»

153

00:10:47,320 –> 00:10:49,276

- That’s not funny.

- It’s kinda funny.

154

00:10:49,360 –> 00:10:50,395

It’s not.

155

00:10:55,400 –> 00:10:58,278

Two minutes to

dimension jump activation.

156

00:11:12,440 –> 00:11:15,477

One minute to dimension jump activation.

157

00:11:15,520 –> 00:11:20,275

All crew, enter dimensional

stabilisation units at this time.

158

00:11:20,360 –> 00:11:23,318

Research says D-jump is great

for your sexual stamina.

159

00:11:23,360 –> 00:11:25,430

- Hallelujah!

- You know, you’re gonna get it!

160

00:11:25,480 –> 00:11:27,357

I am?

161

00:11:27,440 –> 00:11:28,429

Kaela.

162

00:11:28,480 –> 00:11:31,358

- I need to talk to you.

- When we get there. Use mine.

163

00:11:31,400 –> 00:11:33,391

- I’ll use number four. Now.

- Why?

164

00:11:33,480 –> 00:11:34,469

No time.

165

00:11:34,520 –> 00:11:37,353

- Call it musical chairs.

- Be my guest!

166

00:11:39,280 –> 00:11:41,350

30 seconds to dimension jump activation.

167

00:12:01,480 –> 00:12:05,439

All crew, enter dimensional

stabilisation units at this time.

168

00:12:06,440 –> 00:12:10,399

All crew, enter dimensional

stabilisation units at this time.

169

00:12:29,320 –> 00:12:32,278

Final countdown. Ten, nine,

170

00:12:32,320 –> 00:12:37,314

eight, seven, six, five, four,

171

00:12:37,360 –> 00:12:40,397

three, two, one.

172

00:12:40,480 –> 00:12:42,436
