The Cure

AZI: [On radio]
This is Azi Narine,
of the planetary
freighter ship Demeter 227.
I am marooned on planet Vesta.
I need rescue now.
Now, please!
BARRY: Hey, I picked up
a distress call.
I think it's coming from the planet!
TERRENCE: So what?
That's not what we're here for.
Says they're from
a Demeter Freight ship!

The air is good,
the landing is sound.
No large creatures detected

Sounds lovely, Terrence,
you thinking of moving here?
No, not here.
I'm ready to stop moving.
Oh, been out here too long, Kris.
But with this we can cut
this planet hopping bullshit
and go back home.
It's about fucking time!
Alright then, if you're so eager
let's get started.
Alright, you know the rules.
New planet, new atmosphere,
new leader.
Last one standing
directs the mission.

We'll make contact with

then come back to the ship.
- You have a navigator with you?
- TERRENCE: Yeah.
Don't want to get lost either way.
- What direction was the signal?
- About a mile or two that way.
Okay, we take
the rest of the day,
find this "Azi,"
get all the info we need.
It's worth it to know what's up
before running in blind.
Even if the ship is just sitting there.
Hot damn.
A downed Demeter freighter.
If it's still packed, it would
really help our people.
We can get back
to living a normal life.
What? Don't tell me
that's not exciting.
You're always going on
and on about
Terrence shut the hell up.
Go get the kid.
Let's get on with it already.
Ay, Barry! Quit playing
games, I know you're awake!
Come on, man, let's go.
You lost again, didn't you?
Yeah, no shit,
not like you did any better.

Damnit, where are you?
[Boom]
[Booming continues]
[Booming continues]
- Hello?
- [Gasps]
I didn't mean to scare you.
My name's Azi.
I know.
I recognize your voice.
[Mockingly]
"This is Azi Narine,
of the planetary freighter
ship Demeter 227!"
So you must be from the ship
I saw landing earlier.
KRIS: That's right.
We heard your distress call.
Well, Barry here caught it.
My name's Kris, this is Terrence.
Sorry to use the kid as bait,
we just needed to know
what we were getting into.
But it looks like it's
just you out here, yeah?
Just me now.
Been trying to get
to our ship's landing site.
It came down from orbit
a few days ago.
I don't even know the state of it,
but that's where I'm headed.
Was it a controlled landing
or did it crash?
It looked controlled to me.
In situations like this,
the ship wouldn't have come down
unless it was called to do so.
I'm guessing you aren't the pilot?
No, I'm in charge
of overseeing the cargo sector.
How fortunate.
No offense but it's that very
cargo that we're interested in.
- You aren't from the company, are you?
- Ha! God, no.
We've got our own thing going,
one solar system over.
We only come out this far
when things get desperate.
There might still be a lot
of people alive in cryo sleep.
- You can't just
- Of course not.
We don't care about food,
or anything like that.
It's the engines,
spare parts, tech,
stuff that only established
communities could use.
Not a bunch of stranded travelers.
Look, the company has probably
already written you off.
Nobody's coming.
Instead of letting the cargo
rot, let us take it.
In return, well take you
or anyone that wants to come
and we'll drop you off
at the nearest outpost.
Then it's up to you,
but at least it's a chance.
Or we could just leave you here
and take it ourselves.
No, no, of course.
- That's a fair deal.
- Excellent!
- Can we go now?
- Kid's right, it's getting dark.
Lets head back to our ship
and leave for the Demeter
in the morning.

KRIS: Typically when
something like this happens,
it's the pilot's duty
to get in their little life ship
and head straight to the bosses.
I used to be one.
A pilot, that is.
- What happened?
- Got sick of it.
Hauling expensive cargo
here and there. Ugh.
Helping to establish
yet another colony
for a bunch of assholes who
couldn't care less about you.
- Sounds familiar.
- So, you're clearly a survivor.
All this time waiting around,
must have been rough.
Yeah, but it hasn't been all bad.
Still, good thing we found you.
People can lose their minds
on places like this.
Wondering if anyone is coming,
if you'll ever see your friends
- and loved ones again
