The Ark (2023) s02e02 Episode Script

Previously on "The Ark"
Welcome back to Ark 15.
Thank you, Ms. Maddox.
Prepare to get to Trappist-1D.
But what about our friends?
- I need blood for Angus.
- That would be wasting it.
- Could you give him some of mine?
- You've met Evelyn.
We don't want to stay under
the thumb of that monster.
We can help repair your ship.
- You left me no choice.
- What's happening?
Kelly has a plasti-gel
failsafe inside her body.
Are you telling me
there's a bomb inside her?
- You owe me, Evelyn.
- It's disarmed.
We will fix our ship,
and we will get to a planet
that we can call our home.
Don't worry, Angus.
We're back on Ark 1.
- Angus, how is he?
- He's stable, but we have to get him to Med Bay.
Dr. Kabir! I'm relieved to see
you, but should you be walking?
- No, she shouldn't. And I told her to
- I'm fine.
- Doctors make the worst patients.
- Please allow me to help.
I got her. Don't worry. It's fine.
Who the hell is that guy?
Garnet. You okay?
Yeah, but there's a
lot to catch you up on.
Permission to board, Captain.
Granted.
- You walked away from Maddox?
- Yes. Thank you for having us.
How many "us" -es are we talking about?
These people have offered to
help and have requested asylum.
You said you had engineers? Have
them report there immediately.
Hang on. How do we know
we can even trust them?
- Brice.
- All right, you heard the captain.
- Engineers, follow me.
- Everyone else,
report to security for intake.
- Over here.
- I can help with that. I know these people.
- Kimimela Joma.
- Felix Strickland.
- He says he wants to help.
- Heard that before.
Let's not do our usual dance, shall we?
I've got no reason to be a bad boy.
My fate is tied with Ark 1.
Oh, don't worry.
I'll be sleeping locked
in my cell tonight.
But the fact is, I know
the Ark better than anyone.
So let me help.
You will have a senior
officer with you at all times.
- I expect nothing less.
- Right now we have two major problems.
The first, fixing Ark 1. Mr.
Trust will help with that.
And what's the second problem?
What's she doing here?
I need you to get Dr.
Marsh set up in Med Bay
and then find out why
Kelly had a bomb inside her.
- Inside her?
- Yeah.
Kelly?
How dare you let that murderer on board?
I know you're still grieving,
but if you want to help,
this is not the way.
- Yes. Yes, of course.
- Let's go.
Life support, structural integrity,
and the NEPS are all stable.
But Ark 1 is not designed to travel
this kind of distance on NEPS.
It's got a maximum range
of five light years.
- But if we travel by FTL?
- The retrofit is intact.
But the front-section
navigational array is damaged.
It's essential when plotting
a course through warp space.
Can you repair it?
Yes. Thanks to Eva's foresight.
I've been keeping spare parts
in storage dome two for emergencies.
Sranje.
Tell me you got another
way to get us to FTL.
(MUSIC PLAYING)
- One, two, three.
- (GROANING)
Careful.
This way.
- Here.
- I'm okay.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Here we go.
- I got it. I got it.
- I got
- That's what I thought.
This is just a little bit
Midazolam to take the edge off.
No sedatives.
- You need to rest.
- I said no.
Then suffer.
- What are you giving him, doctor?
- Yeah, not you, too.
Sorry, I just want to
help. How can I help?
Do you have medical training?
Are you injured? Then
go back to your post.
I'm not leaving Angus and
Dr. Kabir in here with her.
Hey, hey. There's no need for that.
Kelly's not a threat. She's a victim.
Tell that to Mrs. Trust
and the crew of Ark 3.
Agreed. Kelly stays restrained.
Now, why don't you tell me
why she has a bomb inside her?
The bomb is merely a failsafe
in case Kelly went off the rails.
(SCOFFS) Oh, I'd say she
went off the rails long ago.
I'm referring to her implants.
Maddox was obsessed with
manufacturing superior humans.
When cloning was outlawed,
she shifted her focus
on creating a post-human.
LANE: What, like a cyborg?
Not exactly. Post-humanism is a theory
that the next evolution of mankind
involves augmenting humans
with non-organic devices.
MARSH: Maddox called them upgrades.
She's not a medical doctor.
She needed my expertise to
perform the surgical grafts.
Ah. And you just went along with this?
- What kind of doctor are you?
- You don't understand.
If I hadn't done it, someone else
would've. I knew how to do it safely.
LANE: But why would Maddox do this?
To adapt to space travel like
the clone experiments or
No, it wasn't such a noble goal.
Maddox wanted superior humans
- who worked only for her.
- In other words, soldiers.
- Or killers.
- Why her own daughter?
'Cause she's the last
one anyone would suspect.
- Kelly doesn't know she has implants?
- That's what Dr. Marsh claims.
He could be lying.
Are we sure we can trust Dr. Marsh
to look after Angus and Dr. Kabir?
Well, until Kabir is back on her
feet, we don't have much choice.
Either way, Dr. Marsh seems overwhelmed.
We need another set of hands.
I know who we can assign to help.
Sharon?
I thought this meeting was
to discuss what we're gonna do
about the 15ers you brought onboard.
- It is.
- Right so, uh, should she be here?
I asked Kimi here to
answer our questions.
All right, well, let's start
with this one, then, shall we?
Why would we give the 15ers
full access to the ship?
- Especially to engineering?
- EVA: I need their engineers
if I'm going to have any
chance of fixing Ark 1.
- They could sabotage your work.
- I agree with Brice.
We should not allow the
people who attacked this Ark
and Ark 3 to roam around freely.
- Come on.
- My husband died on Ark 3.
I'm really sorry to hear that.
But the people we
brought over to this ship
were not involved in those attacks.
We're just supposed to,
what, take your word for that?
STRICKLAND: Either
way, you were complicit.
You did nothing to prevent
those attacks from happening.
How would you suggest I have done that?
You were head of security,
so you had the friggin' guns.
You don't know what it was
like under Maddox's command.
Okay. Okay. Why don't you
explain to us what it was like?
She had loyalists everywhere,
including my number two.
So you lock up your number
two before you make your move.
Remove number two, number
three could be a loyalist.
You never knew who you could trust.
So then how do we know
there aren't more loyalists
- among your group right now?
- Exactly. Good question.
Look, you heard it
yourselves on the shuttle.
Maddox got an open channel
and tried to convince me,
Dr. Marsh, and Kelly to commandeer it.
You think if there had
been a loyalist in back,
they wouldn't have jumped in for her?
The group we brought over to this ship
are engineers, scientists,
medical personnel.
No security other than me.
- No bridge crew, no weapons crew.
- Civilians.
Mr. Strickland, I can't
tell you how sorry I am
for the loss of your husband.
I knew people who died
on Ark 3 and on this ship,
and I'm just as angry
about it as you are.
Seems to me we have little
reason not to trust them.
They chose to be here, they
gave up everything to come over.
If this ship doesn't
survive, they die with us.
Sharon, you're not really
considering giving them free reign?
No, we are considering. Let's vote.
- Are you serious?
- Do we grant our guests from Ark 15
unfettered ship-wide access,
yes or no? All in favor?
I lost most of my
engineers. I need their help.
- Spence? Seriously?
- Sharon and Eva are right.
We do need their help.
- This is a mistake.
- I need your support on this, Felix.
I will abide by the majority,
but I'll be keeping my
eyes on the newcomers.
- Yeah, you and me both.
- I'd expect no less.
I hate to ask, but what about Kelly?
She did murder Mrs.
Trust right in front of me
on this ship in cold blood.
What? You gonna let her
walk free, too, are you?
- Of course not.
- So, what do we do with her?
- I honestly don't know.
- She tried to kill Angus.
- She also saved his life.
- It's a waste of resources
keeping her locked up.
GSA Criminal Code dictates that
murderers get the penalty of death.
Come on, guys. It's a lot
more complicated than that.
How? She murdered two
people on this ship.
Lord knows what happened on Ark 3.
But given everything
we've learned about Kelly,
the fact that she saved Angus' life
and aided our escape from Ark 15
I mean, her mother put a
damn bomb inside her head.
Who knows what else she did to her?
Does she really deserve
to be sent out the airlock?
Sharon, your decision to
bring Kelly onto this ship
has angered a lot of the crew.
They might start
questioning your judgment.
Well, they don't know all the facts.
Maybe not. But it's not good for morale.
You're right.
May I suggest we hold a trial?
Give her a chance to defend
herself, then come to a verdict.
BRICE: Wouldn't we need an unbiased jury
and a magistrate for that?
Well, Sharon did say how torn she was
about what to do with Kelly,
so she's probably as unbiased
as we're going to find.
GSA law does state that the captain
serves as judge in these cases.
- I can be unbiased.
- We will need a prosecutor though.
- STRICKLAND: I volunteer.
- Don't be so eager. Can you be fair?
If I'm the prosecutor,
I don't have to be.
- I guess that's true.
- So who can act as defense?
- Everybody on this ship wants her dead.
- How about Dr. Marsh?
I mean, you saw how he tried
to defend her on the shuttle.
- No.
- Why not?
You may be the only one on this
ship who gives a damn about her.
I wouldn't know where to begin.
I had her life in my
hands way too many times.
I'm not planning on losing
her by being her attorney.
- I'm not a lawyer.
- But, Dr. Marsh
You have my answer.
- Dr. Kabir.
- Dr. Marsh.
- Let me have a look at this.
- Stop fussing over me
and worry about Angus.
The boy will be fine.
But you, you didn't do yourself
any favors tending to him.
Well, the doctor on call
wasn't exactly helping.
I repaired your liver and your spleen.
- Mm.
- But you will continue to be in considerable pain
- until you take some
- No painkillers.
I have to stay focused to do my job.
You will not go back to work
until you get some stress off your body.
- I know what I can handle.
- Clearly, you don't.
I'm prescribing a week of bed rest.
- Unacceptable. I could be back to work
- Doctor's orders.
- Insufferable man.
- Insufferable man with excellent hearing.
- Hey. How are you?
- I'm fine. You can let me go.
Why? So they can lock you up in a cell?
At least here I can help you.
Like you helped Mother experiment on me?
I'm sorry you heard that.
Everything Mother did to me
is that why I'm so broken?
Nothing is broken.
Your implants are fully functional.
That's not what I meant.
I know what you meant.
Not to be a broken
record, but seriously, Cap?
Why is she even here
at a Council meeting?
If we're going to integrate new
crew, they need to feel heard.
Kimi will act as the
voice on the council.
Honestly, I was reluctant
to join this council.
Didn't feel I knew enough
about the politics here.
But with handsome here getting
a vote, well, I couldn't refuse.
Don't try and sweet-talk me, lady.
Oh, that wasn't a compliment.
Pretty men usually aren't too
smart, and you're very pretty.
I'm not pretty. You're pretty.
Shut up, right? Look, Eva's
pretty, okay? And she is very smart.
So just your whole theory
holds no water, right?
- And you, wipe that stupid grin off your face.
- What did I say?
LANE: Can we just get
down to business, please?
We've lost 31 of our crewmembers.
We can't access the bridge, observation,
or critical sections
of our forestructures.
Eva, have you found a way
to get FTL navigation online?
No, and the only ship in the galaxy
with spare parts just abandoned us.
Not the only ship.
- We left Ark 3 pretty intact.
- That's not a bad idea.
- Can we get to Ark 3 using the NEPS?
- It would take months.
I'm not sure the ship can
hold together that long.
And we can't navigate FTL.
TRUST: The problem is
that we lost the DOTE
on the foresectional navigational array.
ALICIA: The DOTE is the Digital
Optical Telemetry Element,
It allows the FTL to do
its warp calculations.
There is a less powerful aft DOTE.
We could reposition
it and boost its power,
- but one jump will fry it.
- We only need one jump.
Yes, and once we get to Ark
3, we could strip it for parts
and get Ark 1 in working condition
and where are we going again?
Trappist-1D, but our only chance
of reaching it is with FTL.
And the aft DOTE won't
be an easy retrofit.
It would require immense
technical knowledge.
- Thank you for volunteering, Mr. Trust.
- I didn't volunteer.
It would require a space walk,
and I do not do space walks.
You do now. Don't worry.
Brice will be there to hold
your hand the whole time.
I'm supposed to trust that
gorilla to have my back, am I?
Would you be more
comfortable if I go with you?
I don't want to go at all.
Dr. Marsh?
I'll do it. I'll defend the kid.
Do I want to know
what changed your mind?
She doesn't know it, but she did.
- Made me realize I owe it to her.
- Good.
We'll do it while we wait for
the engineers to make repairs,
after I do this EVA.
TRUST: Slow down, "leftenant."
GARNET: Didn't you
hear? It's captain now.
TRUST: I'm about to be sick.
(GRUNTS)
Thank you. My equilibrium is off.
You're looking into space
instead of at the ship.
Pick a point on the
hull and focus on that.
Now calm your breath. In, out.
- It's not helping.
- Give it a moment. Hey, this is basic stuff.
You didn't cover this in training?
I never trained for space walks.
I was management, not labor.
- I (GAGS)
- Close your eyes.
- Think about something else.
- Like what?
Like the fact I've
lost the two great loves
of my life in a matter of days?
Okay. Maybe something a
little less unsettling?
So not the fact that you invited
Helena's murderer aboard our ship?
- Here we go.
- Kelly should be executed for her crimes.
- People said the same thing about you.
- But I never killed anyone.
Easy.
Are you done?
(GAGS)
Back inside we go.
Eva and Sasha have done an amazing
job. The ship is stable now.
Speaking of stable, Dr. Marsh
thinks I should be on my feet soon.
Oh, just rest. Let
your pain meds kick in.
Okay? Get some sleep.
I should head back
to engineering anyway.
Thanks for visiting.
I know you got a lot
of responsibilities.
Thanks for visiting?
Angus, all I want to do
is spend time with you.
Me, too.
(FAINTLY) Uh, someone
needs to water the plants.
Angus!
Now let's fix this quick
before you get sick again.
(GARNET CHUCKLES)
You enjoy watching me
struggle, don't you?
It's like watching a baby learn to walk.
Look, I'm out here risking
my ass for this ship
(GRUNTS)
Trust.
Help me! "Leftenant!"
Don't panic.
- Thank God.
- Easy. I've got you.
I thought you might let me die.
Wait. You're reassigning me?
Our new doctor needs the help.
You have field medic training.
And after Dr. Kabir recovers
I can return to security?
No. Having a fully staffed
medical team is essential.
So is having a full security staff.
I thought you'd forgiven me.
Listen, you're my friend
and I care for you.
But we can't have a mutineer
on the security staff.
I made a mistake.
Dr. Marsh came from Ark 15
and Kelly is a known murderer.
Can you think of a more important
place for me to have you reassigned?
Yes, sir.
Jelena Griff, reporting for du
Yes, yes, I've been expecting you.
Take this to Trust over
there while I try and find
some anti-nausea medication
in this mess here.
(VOMITING)
Never mind. Grab a mop.
Dr. Marsh.
- Is Trust able to talk?
- Able? He won't shut up.
Kabir had organ damage,
the boy was impaled,
Kelly had minor brain surgery,
and yet William Trust,
with a touch of nausea,
is my neediest patient.
Why am I not surprised?
The doctor has cleared you for duty.
I'm painfully dehydrated.
Okay, well, lucky for you,
you can do this sitting down.
Unlock this, please.
- (GROANS)
- Wow, that was easy.
I kind of expected you to try
to bargain for your freedom.
I told you, I'm well
aware of my place on Ark 1.
And even though I hate to admit it,
I'm safer sleeping in a storage
room than I am in crew quarters.
Besides, this template for the
Juno Project won't work anymore.
Ark 1 dropped below the threshold
when we fell below 132 survivors.
But what is the Juno Project?
It's a map of every crewmember's
perfect genetic match
so our offspring have a better chance
of keeping the human race going.
- That's disgusting.
- But now that you so brilliantly lured over
new Ark 15 crew to get us close
to the reproductive range again
That's not why I brought them over.
Then you're not as bright
as I thought you were.
'Cause that's the only reason I
could think of to risk bringing them.
How about to augment our medical
and engineering staff
among other things?
Nonetheless, I can now
realign the matches.
Oh, no. No, no, you don't.
The Juno Project sounds like
some glorified breeding program.
Oh, I'm glad you agree.
You thought I wouldn't? It's eugenics.
First time I've been in
here since the explosion.
Well, no rest for the weary.
(CHUCKLES)
We should keep Juno to ourselves.
Some people might think
it's actually a good idea.
Mm, I don't think so. I think
people know you can't replace love.
Spencer Lane, are you a romantic?
A romantic? You're about
to see me weep openly
if that bottle of
Glenn Verbog is broken.
(CHUCKLES)
- Uh-huh.
- (SIGHS)
- Your unrequited love is safe.
- Don't mock me.
Can't you see this is true love?
Oh, is that what true love looks like?
I mean, growing up in a lab,
I didn't have a lot of
chances to fall in love.
No, but you have been in
love though. Haven't you?
Ignore me. Probably none of my business.
I was a late bloomer.
Dated in the academy.
Great times. Good stories.
Well, at least you have good stories.
Most of my youthful indiscretions
ended in embarrassment.
- Mm.
- My first kiss, I moved in so fast
I chipped the girl's tooth.
No, it's a true story.
Jane Matthews. She
never spoke to me again.
Well, I wouldn't either if
your kiss ruined my smile.
You know, the irony is,
my teeth? Completely fine.
STRICKLAND: Captain Garnet,
we're ready for you.
Kelly, please stand.
You are charged with
murder in the first-degree
for the death of Nathan
Stark and Helena Trust,
and as an accomplice in the murder
of some of the crew of Ark 3.
- How do you plead?
- Guilty.
That's not what we agreed to.
Like I have a chance?
These people hate me.
You have to at least let me try. Please.
Fine. I don't see a point, but whatever.
The the defendant pleads not guilty.
Is that how you plead, Kelly?
Yeah, I guess.
How many Arks did Ark 15 attack?
Um, two. This one and Ark 3.
I'm curious, how did
Maddox justify the attacks?
For Ark 1 she told us the Eastern
Federation had taken over the ship,
that we had to stop them before
they tried the same with ours.
- And you believed her?
- Most of the crew did.
But did you?
I wasn't sure what to believe.
I started doing some digging,
but no one would talk about it.
Everyone was too afraid
of crossing Ms. Maddox.
And what about Ark 3, hmm? Same story?
First she told everyone
the same story about the EF.
But I started suspecting the lie
when she prepped a boarding
party that included her daughter.
- I thought that was strange.
- So what did you do?
I volunteered to join the landing party.
Seemed like the only way to find
out what was really going on.
- But I was denied.
- Any idea why?
Well, I guess she didn't want me to see
that the dead weren't
really Eastern Federation.
So she only sent Kelly and her
two most trusted bodyguards.
What did she send them to do, exactly?
- I don't know.
- No further questions.
Dr. Marsh.
When no one from the boarding
party came back, what did you do?
I volunteered to lead a rescue team.
- And?
- I was denied.
I think that's when it sunk in just
how inhuman Ms. Maddox really was.
She didn't even want to
rescue her own daughter.
- No further questions.
- Thanks, Kimi.
- Miss Maddox.
- Don't call me that.
- It's your name.
- My name is Kelly Fowler.
Fowler was my father's name.
Fine. Miss Fowler, tell
us what happened on Ark 3.
Three of us were sent onto
Ark 3 to find the DNA vault.
So that was the real reason behind
the attacks, to find the spider DNA?
- And to find William Trust.
- Then what happened?
KELLY: We didn't expect
anyone to have survived,
so we didn't bring any weapons.
But when we came out of the airlock,
we were attacked by a crew of
Ark 3 members in EVA suits.
Must have been making repairs or
something when the ship was attacked,
gotten the life support back on.
(KELLY COUGHS)
They killed Dimitri.
Ross and I got away.
Come on.
Ross was hurt, so we
hid in the mess hall.
What do we do? Nobody
was supposed to be alive.
I don't know.
But they attacked us there, too.
And then
Then I don't remember
what happened after that.
I'm sorry, what?
I don't remember what happened next.
Well, isn't that convenient?
Isn't that convenient that you
can't remember what happened
during the time you
murdered all those people?
I'm sorry, just one second.
I'm not a lawyer, but this doesn't seem
like a fair line of questioning.
I agree. Tone it down, Felix.
Try. Try to remember what happened now.
I don't remember anything up until
when Lieutenant Lane came
and took me to find Ross.
- You have to believe me.
- Well, I don't believe you.
I don't believe you can't remember
killing the survivors on Ark 3
like Robert, for
example in cold blood.
I didn't kill your husband.
- I thought you don't remember.
- I don't.
What I meant to say is I hope
I didn't kill your husband.
I hope I didn't kill anyone else.
Look, I know you guys
aren't going to believe me,
but I want to remember.
I need to know myself
what I did on that ship.
You know what? This is pointless.
This is absolutely pointless.
Either she's lying or
she really can't remember.
Either way, this is getting
us no closer to the truth.
I may have a solution.
I might be able to switch
on Kelly's brain implant.
It'll contain all the memories.
But to do so, I have to
switch all of them on.
Isn't that dangerous?
It's the only way.
I'll allow it.
You might want to have
Kelly's arms double shackled.
For your own safety.
Proceed, Dr. Marsh.
- Are you ready?
- Do I have a choice?
This is the only way.
(BEEPING)
Kelly, do you remember now?
Can you tell us what happened
after Ross was attacked?
(SHOUTING)
- (PANTING)
- (BEEPING)
(BOTH GRUNTING)
Now kill the rest of them.
- That wasn't part of the plan.
- It is now. Go.
(NECK SNAPS)
What, so you're claiming that
the other man was controlling her?
That she had no self control?
It's what's in the brain
implant. It doesn't lie.
And these implants, they give her
some kind of superhuman strength?
- Her right arm and some of her senses.
- Turn it off.
- Turn it off!
- I'm sorry. Sorry.
(BEEPING)
I'm sorry.
When you found Robert was
he wearing an EVA suit?
- No.
- I only killed people who survived
because they were in EVA suits.
So I didn't kill your husband.
How many of them did you kill?
Enough that you should
give me the death penalty.
Kelly, stop talking now.
- What are you doing there?
- I'm double checking mass differential
against the FTL calculations.
Would you like to check the math?
Check check the math? Yes.
Yes, I would. Thank you.
Um, excuse me.
When did you become an
expert in quantum mechanics?
I'm just keeping the newbies honest.
She's double checking my work.
Yeah, well, as long as she
hasn't changed anything,
we should be all right, shouldn't we?
That all looks correct
so far, so well done.
Okay, so we have established
that you did kill people on Ark 3.
- In self-defense. It was kill or be killed.
- Debatable.
Are you going to tell me
that killing Nathan Stark
- and Helena Trust was self-defense?
- Helena was.
She came at me. She tried to take
my gun. I didn't have a choice.
- Couldn't you just have given her the gun?
- No.
I had to complete my mission
to get Mother that DNA.
And what about Nathan Stark?
I already said I was guilty.
Do we have to keep going?
I've heard enough.
I will take some time
to consider the case.
Then I'll deliver my verdict.
Kelly, please stand.
This trial has answered
a lot of questions for me.
It's also raised new ones.
Kelly Fowler,
I find you guilty of murder as charged.
- Captain, please.
- I'm not finished.
I never had a mother.
But I suspect I'm better
off not having one at all
than having one like Evelyn Maddox.
It's apparent that what she did to you
is largely responsible for your actions.
For that reason, I'm convinced you
do not deserve the death penalty.
What, so you're just going to
set her free on this ship to
I didn't say that.
To tell you the truth,
I still don't know what the
hell to do with you, Kelly.
You remind me of my sister a little bit.
I feel sorry for you
and I'm afraid of you,
especially now that I know what
your implants are capable of.
So for now, I am going
to keep you locked up
for the safety of everyone on this ship.
And with the help of Dr. Marsh,
we will study your implants,
work with you, and figure out a
better solution for your situation.
I think I'd rather you just kill me.
Well, lucky for you,
it's not your choice.
And I sincerely hope that we can
find a way to turn your life around.
This court is adjourned.
It'll be okay.
Hey, listen.
I know what your mother did to you,
and I'm guessing it makes you
feel like you're not human.
But I want you to know that you are.
You think you know how I'm feeling?
- I'm a clone, so, yeah, I get it.
- That's cute.
Think we're trauma sisters?
No wonder Mother had no respect for you.
You make it really hard to help you.
We're nothing alike.
Everyone on this ship
loves you. They hate me.
You're in charge. I'm a prisoner.
What is this place?
Used to be a bathroom
before we blew it up.
We converted it into
a brig just for you.
- Blew it up?
- It's a long story.
It smells awful in here.
Yeah? Well, you'll get used to it.
- It's cramped in here.
- Well, until we can seal
and pressurize the bridge, this is Ops.
How are the navigation adjustments?
Everything's been checked
and double checked.
And Mr. Trust's work
has been triple checked.
A new rule for you.
I promise you, if we
die, it won't be my fault.
Well, that sounded less than confident.
No one's confident. This is risky.
The aft DOTE wasn't
designed to be boosted.
Our power regulators
will be working overtime
to make sure the warp bubble holds.
- And if it doesn't?
- Well, best case scenario,
- we drop out of warp along our route.
- Worst case?
Warp space tears us apart atom by atom,
ripping Ark 1 out of time
and erasing us from existence.
- Aren't you just a little ray of sunshine?
- It's all theory.
This is an area of physics
that we don't fully understand.
Yes, well, it's our only shot.
And without access to the bridge,
we have to steer the ship from here.
- So it's all up to Eva and Alicia?
- Mm-hmm.
- What about me?
- What about you?
Eva? Do it.
Bringing us about to match heading.
FTL charge holding.
Activating FTL in three, two
one!
- FTL engaged.
- Warp bubble is at 84% integrity.
- Not ideal, but we should be safe.
- Should?
Aw, bollocks.
It's going to be a bumpy ride.
