The Ark (2023) s02e04 Episode Script
The Other You
1
Previously on "The Ark"
I really did think I loved you, Will.
TRUST: She's gone.
You're a giant knot of tension.
It's not helping you heal.
- Don't touch me like that!
- Hey.
Maddox wanted superior humans.
Augmenting humans with
nonorganic devices.
EVA: And the only ship in the galaxy
with spare parts just abandoned us.
We left Ark 3 pretty intact.
Dropping out of warp.
We're out of FTL, but I
don't see Ark 3 or stars.
Couldn't have wished for
a smoother transition.
What the hell just happened?
He just vanished into thin air.
How is that possible?
Guys, there's something really weird.
There's no Ark 3 outside,
and there's no stars.
- It's weirder than that. Brice just vanished.
- What?
(MUSIC PLAYING)
Will?
(MUSIC PLAYING)
(SIGHS) Will!
(BRITISH ACCENT) Thank
God. Where have you been?
Why were we woken early? Are you cured?
Cat?
You've not called me Cat in years.
Come on. Come on, Brice.
The computers keep fritzing.
I can't identify where we
are on the navigation system.
Navigation won't work.
It operates by charting the
stars, and there are no stars.
It's like we're stuck
in some sort of void.
Something must have happened
when we dropped out of warp.
Something that caused
a person to vanish?
- What the hell could that be?
- Did we even drop out of warp?
The thing is, I don't see
the warp bubble out there.
I don't see anything out there.
Are we sure the cameras
are still working?
They're working. I ran
diagnostics on them.
Lane, my quarters are intact.
This is so weird.
There's literally nothing out there.
STRICKLAND: Strickland
to Captain Garnet.
Please report to the mess hall.
GARNET: This really
isn't a good time, Felix.
It's, um it's urgent.
So what's so urgent?
Cat?
Um, I don't believe we've met,
but, please, call me Catrina.
And she's British?
CATRINA: Yes, Commander Lane.
We've discussed our
shared Oxford upbringing.
- Commander?
- She keeps asking why the ship is so damaged.
Yes, what's happened?
Did we crash while I was in stasis?
It wasn't damaged when I went into cryo.
Why is everyone looking at me like that?
Especially my husband.
He's looked like he's seen a ghost
- ever since I found him.
- Your husband?
So she says.
Catrina, um
how exactly did you end up here?
Um, well, the last thing I remember
was going into cryo with Will.
And then I woke up, and
the ship was damaged,
and everyone's acting so strange.
Well, we're acting so strange because
God, uh, how do I say this?
You died.
Except, you were American,
and we were hardly married.
I don't know what to say.
Okay, clearly this is
tied to whatever happened
when we dropped out of
warp and Brice disappeared.
- Brice?
- Yeah, Lieutenant James Brice.
- As in the lunar colony hero?
- What are you talking about?
James Brice? Died ten years ago
thwarting an Eastern Federation attack?
Wait, what did you say?
Do you mean the old NASA lunar colony?
Yeah, he saved hundreds
of lives on that mission.
But that never happened.
No one survived.
My father died in that attack.
Okay, your father didn't
die. I know him well.
Is this some kind of a
sick joke? Who are you?
GARNET: Spence.
Hey, we gotta get to the bottom
of what happened to Brice.
Captain, how can we
trust anything she says?
ALICIA: It's like an alternate history.
Catrina, what Ark were you on
- when you went into cryo?
- Ark 1.
Okay, bear with me here, but
perhaps the lack of stars outside
means we never completely
dropped out of warp space.
Maybe somehow we got stuck between
two quantum-based alternate realities.
- What?
- Are you talking about
quantum entanglement hypothesis?
Yes! It suggests that two particles
can become entangled in such a way
that they share a single quantum state.
I know it's hard to
imagine, but it's like
there's two versions of
Ark 1, and we got entangled.
- Is that a real thing?
- TRUST: Yes.
Physicist Erwin
Schrodinger is most famous
for this thought experiment
involving a cat in a box.
- Cat in a
- And physicist John Bell, in the 1960s, proposed a way
to experimentally test whether
quantum entanglements were real.
So how do we get un-entangled?
I don't know.
But I'll work on it.
Notice the swelling and the
tension around the joints?
It's gotten worse since yesterday.
- More ice and compression?
- He needs an arthroscopy.
Yes, thank you for
your input, Dr. Kabir.
But Jelena needs to learn
and you need to rest.
Do you want me to die of boredom?
I want you to get better.
And who exactly put you in charge?
I did. When you nearly died
mere days ago. Remember that?
I walked yesterday,
remember? Let me help.
You walked a meter with
my help and pooped out.
You're not ready to be on your
feet working with patients.
I need something to
occupy my mind. I'm bored.
How about occupying your
mind with trying to sleep?
It's what you need.
(GROANS)
Ow.
(DISTORTED, STATICY CHATTER)
(CHATTER CONTINUES)
(CHATTER CONTINUES)
(CHATTER CONTINUES)
Open it.
Stand on the back wall
away from the door.
They said you wanted to see
me for some sort of emergency?
- Better be a big one.
- Do you hear that?
Hear what?
I've been hearing voices ever
since we dropped out of warp.
Please. Please let me follow the voices.
I can hear the most distinct
voices coming from over there.
There's no one in there.
Maybe there's something
wrong with your implants.
Or this is just a ploy to
get time out of your cell.
I'm not lying, and I'm not
crazy. I'm really hearing voices.
Someone just said, "Who are you?"
Sounded like Mr. Trust.
"No one seems to bloody believe me."
That sounded like Lieutenant Brice.
Because our warp bubble when we
dropped out of FTL, I think th
we became entangled in an
alternate reality version of Ark 1
that also dropped out of FTL
at the exact same time
in the exact same place,
- which is wild to think about.
- Yeah, wild.
- What are the odds?
- The odds are actually pretty good.
There are probably
infinite versions of Ark 1,
many on exactly the
same path that we are.
The thing I can't figure out is
of all the people on the ship,
why were Brice and Catrina the
ones to leave their reality?
That is the most important
question we should be focusing on.
I agree. I know that you're working
- awfully hard, Allie
- Alicia.
But could you possibly
go any faster, dear?
I really would like to go home.
- I think Kelly heard Brice's voice.
- What?
She claimed to be hearing voices,
and when she repeated the words to me,
- the phrasing really sounded like Brice said it.
- How is that possible?
Hold on, let's consider the source here.
- Kelly is a pathological liar.
- And a murderer.
I would agree, but with
Kelly's posthuman ears,
maybe it's possible she
really did hear something.
- You have a posthuman on board?
- Yes.
My first job at Trust
Corp was researching
the physiological impacts
of posthuman medicine.
It's how we met.
In my work, I found that posthumans
with artificially augmented senses
could smell things that
only dogs could smell
and could hear frequencies
that would be inaudible
to the rest of us.
And if we're entangled in
each other's realities
- It's certainly possible.
- So Brice is alive.
Way to get her hopes up.
Well, it's not as if she's
communicating with the dead.
But didn't you say Brice
is dead in your world?
Yes. He died a hero
saving the lunar colony,
and apparently I'm dead in your world.
So you filled each other's
spaces in the other's reality.
- Is that possible?
- Well, even if that were true,
there would be no way of swapping
people back across quantum realities.
- It's impossible.
- I think it's clear given recent events
we don't know what is
possible and what isn't.
Catrina, can I get you something?
The old Cat used to
really love nail polish.
Would that be of interest to you?
Excuse me. Might I be able to meet
this posthuman that you mentioned?
Maybe I could give you some insight
into her history and abilities.
That's a great idea. We'll
have her brought to med bay.
Well, I'll escort you just to
make sure you don't get lost.
Uh, not so fast, Mr.
Trust. We need you here.
Please. She's Cat. I want to spend
as much time with her that I can.
Do you always have a guard?
I'm not exactly trusted around here.
Hmm. Gathered that.
It's a shame, really.
In my world, you're beloved by everyone.
Tell me more about our life there.
How do they get it so right
there and so wrong here?
Well, when I met you, you
were quite insecure, really.
Brilliant, but unsure of yourself.
You told me that I
steadied something in you.
Always said I was the
key to your happiness.
Maybe I should have
married you and not Helena.
Helena Davies? That manipulative
scientist who tried to
bring down Trust Industries?
Well, she was, uh but manipulative?
- That's a strong word.
- I don't know about in your reality,
but in mine, it's the perfect word.
Well, she did kidnap me
to put me on this ship.
But I did cheat on her
at every opportunity,
so perhaps we weren't the best fit.
Well, the Will I know cut
ties with her 20 years ago.
Oh, God. I really hope my Will is okay.
He's a good man there, eh?
The kindest, most decent man I know.
Look, don't worry. I'll figure this out,
whether in this reality or the other.
The only person in the universes
who could be smarter than me is me.
Probably true, but the other
you would never say that.
Um, I just need a minute.
- I hear you're British now.
- What's this about, miss?
It's "doctor," actually.
One of my specialties
back home is posthumans.
- Really?
- May I?
Hmm, your heartrate is quite high.
Are you aware that her
augmentations are on?
- What?
- I turned them off after the trial.
No, doctor, they're
on, which is alarming.
If you leave them on too long,
it can cause organ failure.
Yes, I'm aware of that, but I
swear I thought I turned them off.
(BEEPING)
Why didn't you tell me about
the risk of organ failure?
I was going to. We just
haven't had a moment.
(BEEPING)
I apologize, Kelly.
It won't happen again.
- You're done here.
- Wait.
Is there more than one
posthuman where you come from?
- Of course.
- Who regulates their upgrades?
Turns their augmentations
on or off, up or down?
They regulate themselves.
Really, it's quite simple.
Wait, these people don't
let you regulate yourself?
(LANE MUTTERING)
- Alicia, where are we?
- There's been very little experimentation done
on breaking quantum entanglements.
- TRUST: I did not!
- (Catrina laughing) You did. You did.
I sang my wedding vows?
Are you gonna tell me that that
other version of me can sing, too?
Oh, not one lick. Completely tone deaf.
But it was sweet.
(CLEARS THROAT) Sorry.
GARNET: You were saying?
One possibility would be
to create a quantum cut,
breaking the flow of quantum
information between the two Ark ships.
- And how do we do that?
- Our only option? Brute force.
- We have to move the ship.
- Move the ship as in leave Brice behind?
- Nobody wants to leave him behind, but
- But?
If we stay here and do nothing,
we'll all die when we run out
of food, water, and life support,
and we still may never
get Lieutenant Brice back.
At least if we try
this, we could break free
and maybe Brice and Catrina
will return to where they belong.
- Maybe?
- Eva. Eva.
This is insane. We're
not moving the ship
without any certainty
it's going to work.
I couldn't agree more.
It's far too risky.
What if moving the ship causes
us to go deeper into this void?
What other choice do we have?
Trying to move is our only hope.
Unless somebody has another idea?
What do you think Brice would want?
- Firing up the NEPS.
- I do not approve of this.
Attention all personnel,
brace for acceleration.
Yeah, hold on tight
or you might disappear.
- Thought I'd leave that part out.
- Wise.
Accelerating in three, two, one!
- What just happened?
- It feels like we got pulled back
and snapped by a rubber band.
Like I said, impossible.
Well, what the hell are we gonna do now?
- All right, we ready?
- Almost.
- How we looking?
- Ah, good timing.
We're just about to drop out of warp.
Because we're doing it
manually, we have to be precise.
Well, I'll watch for
visual confirmation.
Here we go.
Dropping out of warp in three, two
Well?
Well, we're out of FTL,
but I don't see Ark 3 or stars.
- What?
- I don't know.
We must've damaged our cameras
when we came out of warp.
I don't think so, mate. I mean,
couldn't have wished for
a smoother transition.
What just happened?
Eva, what's going on?
Where did Garnet and Lane just go?
And why's your hair like that?
- Ow! Jesus Christ!
- (GROANS)
- What the hell?
- Ensign Markovic, what's going on here?
I was I was just
protecting myself, sir.
This naked man showed
up here out of nowhere.
Sash? Sash, Sash, Sash. Sash,
relax, man. Relax. It's me.
You better come up with a
better line than that, you perv.
I'm not a perv! I'm not
a perv! It's me, Brice!
- Sweetheart, can you say something, please?
- What?
Security, report to Engineering.
Come on, man, is that really necessary?
You just showed up naked
with your junk hanging
out, assaulting this woman.
Yeah, I'd say it's necessary.
Look, I'm I'm really
sorry about this Sash.
- Yeah, you better be.
- No, I mean this.
(GRUNTS)
- Medford.
- What's up?
An unruly crew member just
showed up naked in Engineering.
He flashed one of the engineers,
punched another, and ran.
Apparently, he looks like
Commander James Brice.
- I thought he was dead.
- Of course he is.
You take the lower
decks, I'll take the high.
- We'll meet in the middle.
- On it.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
When did they fix this place?
Sorry, mate.
Well, hello there, handsome.
Aren't you supposed
to be in Maintenance?
I'm on a break.
And don't forget, stargazing date
in the observation deck tonight.
Well, how could I forget?
Plant Boy! It's good
to see you up and about.
Listen, mate, there's something
really weird going on, you know?
- Hey, stay there.
- Huh?
- Don't move! Stay there.
- What are you talking about?
(MUSIC PLAYING)
Move! Out of my way!
- Brice?
- Yes. Thank you.
(SIGHS)
Seriously?
Oh, fine.
All right, come on.
You're okay. Come on.
- There you go.
- Brice?
- You're all right.
- Is that really you?
Yes. Look, Sharon, I don't know
what the hell's going on here, right?
It's like I'm in some kind of
dream or something, you know?
I thought I'd never see you again.
Uh, you don't look so good.
I think I think I need to
take you to go see Dr. Kabir.
- Who?
- Dr. Kabir.
Come on. Dr. Kabir.
Never heard of him.
No, this is this is too weird.
I think I think maybe
something must have happened
when we dropped out of warp, right?
Because it's like I blinked, right?
And now everything's turned around.
Oh, I forgot how blue your eyes are.
- Hmm?
- I remember thinking the same thing
when you asked me to
marry you, and then you
you went and died on me.
Say what now?
Uh, okay. Wait. Sharon? Sharon?
Look at me. I'm very much alive, okay?
And secondly, right? We've
never been engaged, okay?
We're just friends. That's it. So
- How are you even real?
- Sharon, listen to me.
I'm gonna need your help, all
right? I'm gonna need your help.
I need to speak to someone who's good
with, like like, uh,
screwed up warp-space
bullshit, you know?
Someone like, um like Alicia.
Do you know Alicia Nevins?
Alicia Nevins in waste management?
Yep. Sure, yep. Where can I find her?
Um, she's probably on Deck 8.
- Deck 8. Right.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait!
No, please. Don't go yet.
I'm sorry. I really I really have to.
But you just get
yourself to med bay, okay?
- All right.
- (CRYING)
- Alicia!
- Yeah?
Wow. You really work
in waste management, eh?
- Do you need something?
- Yeah, so so, look.
You don't know me, but I know you,
and I really need your help.
If some toilet's backed up,
you can wait a few hours.
No, no. No, no. No, no, It's not that.
It's more, um, astrophysics
or, like, quantum mechanics
or some such shite.
What the hell are you talking about?
Okay, so, um so
here's the thing, right?
So I might be dreaming right
now. Maybe I'm hallucinating.
I really don't know, but
something happened, okay?
And now it's like I'm in some kind of
parallel universe or something.
But the thing is, right,
you see, in my universe
you are, like, this total
frickin' genius, right?
And you solve all the problems.
So what I'm really
hoping, really hoping,
is that maybe you can
you can solve this one.
- So you're saying in another universe, I'm a genius?
- Yeah.
That is the weirdest damn
pickup line I've ever heard.
Does it ever work for
you? No. Oh, no, no, no.
No, I'm not. I'm not
trying to hit on you, right?
- Have you smelt yourself?
- Okay, goodbye.
That was a joke. That was a joke.
Um, Alicia, please, I mean,
I really need your help.
Look if you need to know
about water reclamation,
valve replacement, or the chemical
make-up of urine, I'm your gal.
But whatever this is, I
have no idea how to help.
But, I mean, haven't you
got, like, five degrees?
What? No, I couldn't
even afford undergrad.
Jeez, you're talking to me
like I'm freaking William Trust.
William Trust. Of course.
Of course. You are brilliant.
- Where can I find William Trust?
- That's above my pay grade.
So maybe he hasn't woken up yet.
- Don't move.
- Oh.
- Hi, babe.
- Hey.
Look, I am really sorry to have
to do this to you, Plant Boy.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
Why do you keep calling me Plant Boy?
(GRUNTING)
- (ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)
- (SCREAMS)
The asswipe cheated on me last week.
Hey, you still wanna hook up?
Maybe you could help me even the score.
Alicia, I truly, honestly was
not trying to hit on you, okay?
- But, um but thank you for the save.
- It's Allie,
and you know where to find
me if you change your mind.
(GRUNTS)
No keypad.
Why why is there no keypad?
No, no, no. Come on, come on!
Oh.
(AIR HISSING)
Please tell me you're smart.
- Where's Catrina?
- Who?
- My wife. Where is she?
- I don't know.
And who are you?
I'm Lieutenant James Brice.
- He's dead.
- Yeah, yeah. So they keep telling me.
Which is why I need your help.
Because ever since
we dropped out of FTL,
basically nothing is
making any sense, okay?
People don't recognize me
or they think that I'm dead,
and no one seems to bloody believe me.
- Did you say you dropped out of FTL?
- Yes.
- And no one knows who you are?
- Well, that's the thing, right?
That's the thing. They
think that they know me,
but it's not really me, okay?
It's like some other,
like, version, of me.
I know. I know that
this must sound crazy.
- A quantum entanglement.
- Huh?
I've worried our introduction
to faster than light travel
would inevitably create one.
It's a quantum what? Sorry.
You may have found yourself
in some sort of alternative reality
created by the space-time bubble.
Yeah. I think maybe that.
You must be very overwhelmed.
Oh, yeah, just
I'm so sorry this has happened to you.
I've gotta be honest.
I can't really tell
if you're being genuine
or sarcastic right now.
Sarcasm is not in my nature, sir.
And I want to help you.
I should be staying in this cryo
until they find a cure for my Klampkins,
but this is far more important.
(GRUNTS)
And I have a feeling that
my wife's disappearance
and your reappearance are connected.
Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Remember, you've gotta
pressurize your suit first.
Ah, of course.
Did you just say you have Klampkins?
Yes. I tested a decarbonization
technique on myself.
Didn't end well. But at least I'm
the only one who got Klampkins.
Look, um, just so you know,
a bite from a
Mediterranean recluse spider
will have you right in
no time. Well, uh, no.
First you need a shot of
these two other ingredients,
but I can't actually remember
what they are right now,
But I'm sure, you being
you, will figure it out.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
Not sure how you know
that, but I'll try it.
But first we have to solve your problem,
and for that we're gonna
need the help of Captain Lane.
- Oh, you're kidding. Spencer Lane?
- No.
So let me get this straight.
We dropped out of warp and
found ourselves in a void,
and you dropped out of warp
and found yourself here.
Yep, exactly.
But you died saving my
life and many others,
so how are you here at all?
Well, that is pretty much
the question of the day
to be honest with you, mate.
We weren't supposed to wake you
until we found a Klampkins cure.
- My well-being is the least of our problems right now.
- I think I've got it, Dad!
The reason we got stuck in
a void has something to do
with the quantum mechanics
of warp space-time.
You're a bit late with
that information, boy.
My apologies. This is my son.
- Commander Spencer Lane. Mr. Trust, you're awake.
- Commander?
He'd never have gotten that
far without his old man.
Well, we can't know that for sure.
We do know that we'd never
be in our current situation
if it wasn't for you and your theories.
It wasn't my fault. We
had to drop out of warp
at Ark 3 to get the parts.
It doesn't matter whose
fault it is, now does it?
Captain, I believe what
your son said before is true.
I think we're caught between
two alternate realities.
(DISTORTED WARBLING)
- Did you see that?
- Certainly felt it.
It's like we saw a
glimpse of another Ark 1.
What is it, Mr. Trust?
I think I know how to fix this.
I believe we just saw Ark 1
because they were trying
to move in their reality.
But it didn't work since
the ship in this reality
- didn't also move in the opposite direction.
- Yes, that makes sense.
Our two realities are occupying
the same time and space.
And the only way to
separate them is by force.
One has to go forwards
and the other backwards
at exactly the same time.
How do we get the timings in sync?
Wouldn't we have to communicate
with the other Ark 1 somehow?
Exactly. So I'll recreate
the glimpse of the other Ark 1
by moving our ship in the
same way that they did.
And we'll use that small window
of opportunity to send a signal.
And if we can see them,
that means light waves
can pass between our realities,
which means that a
signal should go through.
- But what kind of signal?
- A radio signal.
And we might have
milliseconds, so at most,
we'll have time to send a binary file.
And hopefully the other
Ark can figure it out.
- Hopefully?
- Well, it's the only way.
And once the two realities
finally disengage,
Catrina and Brice can return
to their rightful places.
You sure about this, Mr. Trust?
I've run all the calculations twice.
You don't fancy doing that a third
time? You know, just to make sure?
I need this to work as much as you
do. That's my wife is over there.
Believe me, I'm as sure as I'll ever be.
- (SIGHS)
- Stand by for acceleration.
Brace.
Send the signal.
Well done, Mr. Trust.
Well, hopefully the
signal will be received.
Hey. Can we talk?
So are you leaving?
Well, I'm trying to.
Anything I can do to
convince you to stay?
- Look, Sharon, I know
- I know.
I know you're not really my fiancé.
I mean, you don't really
look at me the way he did.
But at least this way I can say goodbye.
Thank you.
This is so weird.
So that's the signal?
- What?
- I was so distracted
that I neglected to include
which direction to go.
- Huh?
- Well, hopefully the other version of myself
can figure out the
correct direction to go in.
You forget to include the direction?
Well, that's that's
just great. Well done.
Did I mention that the you
in my reality's a total arse?
- (CHIMING)
- A countdown?
- What the hell does this mean?
- We don't have much time, whatever it means.
It's a message. Brilliant!
Can someone explain to us why
we just saw the other reality?
Did someone try to move the
ship again without consulting me?
Okay, first of all, we don't
have to consult you on anything,
- And second, it wasn't us.
- It was someone in Catrina's reality this time.
- My Will!
- Probably. And they sent us this message.
Why would they send us a timer?
It's a countdown to move the ship again.
We have to move both Arks
at the exact same time.
But he didn't tell us which direction.
Mr. Trust is probably navigating
from the other reality,
and he would go forward,
so we should go backwards.
Unless of course he's anticipating
that we would anticipate this move,
- so maybe we should go forwards
- 20 seconds, Alicia.
Please don't screw this up.
Alicia!
GARNET: Ten seconds,
Alicia. Time for a decision.
- Which direction do you think you should go, Mr. Trust?
- Forwards.
- Five, four, three, two
- GARNET: You got this.
- I'm going backwards.
- LANE: one.
Brace!
The NEPS aren't going to withstand
it. We're pushing too hard!
- We have to keep going! It's the only way.
- The only way to kill us!
- BRICE: You miss me?
- Oh, dear.
- Oh, thank God.
- GARNET: We're so happy to see you, Brice.
I mean, not this much
of you, but you know.
- (BRICE LAUGHS)
- Sasha, trousers.
- Don't you ever do that again.
- Oh, believe me, none of this was my choice.
The stars are back in the sky,
and the system stopped glitching.
We did it.
(CHATTER, LAUGHTER)
Oh, it's good to have you back, Brice.
Oh, man, it's good to be back, pal.
Uh, listen, I have to ask.
Did you happen to see my
dad when you were over there?
It's just that Catrina mentioned
he was alive on her ship, so
Yeah, no, I I did, mate. I did.
Well, what was he like?
Well, I mean, he was
the captain, you know?
- Seemed like a really great leader.
- He was?
And you guys, I mean, you
seemed really close, you know?
He seemed like he was
really proud of his son.
Whew.
My apologies.
KIMI: Thank you.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Well, well, well.
If it isn't the disappearing man.
I missed you, Lieutenant.
Who else am I supposed to stare at
in those endless council meetings?
- Run along, Kimi.
- So the fancy lady from the other universe
mentioned that in her reality,
you were on that lunar mission.
You know, the one that thwarted
the Eastern Federation attack?
Mm. Would seem I'm quite
the hero over there.
Hmm. I was just wondering,
were you on that mission
in this reality, too?
Come on. If I was, nobody
would've died, right?
Right.
- Thanks.
- Thanks.
Hope they didn't spoil you
- with better food over there.
- You know, it's funny.
The one constant between
all of the space realities
is that no matter where you
are, the food is still crap.
I'm really glad you're back.
- What?
- What?
- You're being weird.
- I'm not being weird.
I'm just thinking about the
you in the other reality.
- What was I like?
- Oh, the same, you know.
I will say one thing though.
Hell of a good kisser.
What?
(MUSIC PLAYING)
BRICE: Approaching Ark 3.
Uh, do you guys see that?
There's a shuttle docked there.
That wasn't there when we left.
Which means
Someone's on Ark 3.
Previously on "The Ark"
I really did think I loved you, Will.
TRUST: She's gone.
You're a giant knot of tension.
It's not helping you heal.
- Don't touch me like that!
- Hey.
Maddox wanted superior humans.
Augmenting humans with
nonorganic devices.
EVA: And the only ship in the galaxy
with spare parts just abandoned us.
We left Ark 3 pretty intact.
Dropping out of warp.
We're out of FTL, but I
don't see Ark 3 or stars.
Couldn't have wished for
a smoother transition.
What the hell just happened?
He just vanished into thin air.
How is that possible?
Guys, there's something really weird.
There's no Ark 3 outside,
and there's no stars.
- It's weirder than that. Brice just vanished.
- What?
(MUSIC PLAYING)
Will?
(MUSIC PLAYING)
(SIGHS) Will!
(BRITISH ACCENT) Thank
God. Where have you been?
Why were we woken early? Are you cured?
Cat?
You've not called me Cat in years.
Come on. Come on, Brice.
The computers keep fritzing.
I can't identify where we
are on the navigation system.
Navigation won't work.
It operates by charting the
stars, and there are no stars.
It's like we're stuck
in some sort of void.
Something must have happened
when we dropped out of warp.
Something that caused
a person to vanish?
- What the hell could that be?
- Did we even drop out of warp?
The thing is, I don't see
the warp bubble out there.
I don't see anything out there.
Are we sure the cameras
are still working?
They're working. I ran
diagnostics on them.
Lane, my quarters are intact.
This is so weird.
There's literally nothing out there.
STRICKLAND: Strickland
to Captain Garnet.
Please report to the mess hall.
GARNET: This really
isn't a good time, Felix.
It's, um it's urgent.
So what's so urgent?
Cat?
Um, I don't believe we've met,
but, please, call me Catrina.
And she's British?
CATRINA: Yes, Commander Lane.
We've discussed our
shared Oxford upbringing.
- Commander?
- She keeps asking why the ship is so damaged.
Yes, what's happened?
Did we crash while I was in stasis?
It wasn't damaged when I went into cryo.
Why is everyone looking at me like that?
Especially my husband.
He's looked like he's seen a ghost
- ever since I found him.
- Your husband?
So she says.
Catrina, um
how exactly did you end up here?
Um, well, the last thing I remember
was going into cryo with Will.
And then I woke up, and
the ship was damaged,
and everyone's acting so strange.
Well, we're acting so strange because
God, uh, how do I say this?
You died.
Except, you were American,
and we were hardly married.
I don't know what to say.
Okay, clearly this is
tied to whatever happened
when we dropped out of
warp and Brice disappeared.
- Brice?
- Yeah, Lieutenant James Brice.
- As in the lunar colony hero?
- What are you talking about?
James Brice? Died ten years ago
thwarting an Eastern Federation attack?
Wait, what did you say?
Do you mean the old NASA lunar colony?
Yeah, he saved hundreds
of lives on that mission.
But that never happened.
No one survived.
My father died in that attack.
Okay, your father didn't
die. I know him well.
Is this some kind of a
sick joke? Who are you?
GARNET: Spence.
Hey, we gotta get to the bottom
of what happened to Brice.
Captain, how can we
trust anything she says?
ALICIA: It's like an alternate history.
Catrina, what Ark were you on
- when you went into cryo?
- Ark 1.
Okay, bear with me here, but
perhaps the lack of stars outside
means we never completely
dropped out of warp space.
Maybe somehow we got stuck between
two quantum-based alternate realities.
- What?
- Are you talking about
quantum entanglement hypothesis?
Yes! It suggests that two particles
can become entangled in such a way
that they share a single quantum state.
I know it's hard to
imagine, but it's like
there's two versions of
Ark 1, and we got entangled.
- Is that a real thing?
- TRUST: Yes.
Physicist Erwin
Schrodinger is most famous
for this thought experiment
involving a cat in a box.
- Cat in a
- And physicist John Bell, in the 1960s, proposed a way
to experimentally test whether
quantum entanglements were real.
So how do we get un-entangled?
I don't know.
But I'll work on it.
Notice the swelling and the
tension around the joints?
It's gotten worse since yesterday.
- More ice and compression?
- He needs an arthroscopy.
Yes, thank you for
your input, Dr. Kabir.
But Jelena needs to learn
and you need to rest.
Do you want me to die of boredom?
I want you to get better.
And who exactly put you in charge?
I did. When you nearly died
mere days ago. Remember that?
I walked yesterday,
remember? Let me help.
You walked a meter with
my help and pooped out.
You're not ready to be on your
feet working with patients.
I need something to
occupy my mind. I'm bored.
How about occupying your
mind with trying to sleep?
It's what you need.
(GROANS)
Ow.
(DISTORTED, STATICY CHATTER)
(CHATTER CONTINUES)
(CHATTER CONTINUES)
(CHATTER CONTINUES)
Open it.
Stand on the back wall
away from the door.
They said you wanted to see
me for some sort of emergency?
- Better be a big one.
- Do you hear that?
Hear what?
I've been hearing voices ever
since we dropped out of warp.
Please. Please let me follow the voices.
I can hear the most distinct
voices coming from over there.
There's no one in there.
Maybe there's something
wrong with your implants.
Or this is just a ploy to
get time out of your cell.
I'm not lying, and I'm not
crazy. I'm really hearing voices.
Someone just said, "Who are you?"
Sounded like Mr. Trust.
"No one seems to bloody believe me."
That sounded like Lieutenant Brice.
Because our warp bubble when we
dropped out of FTL, I think th
we became entangled in an
alternate reality version of Ark 1
that also dropped out of FTL
at the exact same time
in the exact same place,
- which is wild to think about.
- Yeah, wild.
- What are the odds?
- The odds are actually pretty good.
There are probably
infinite versions of Ark 1,
many on exactly the
same path that we are.
The thing I can't figure out is
of all the people on the ship,
why were Brice and Catrina the
ones to leave their reality?
That is the most important
question we should be focusing on.
I agree. I know that you're working
- awfully hard, Allie
- Alicia.
But could you possibly
go any faster, dear?
I really would like to go home.
- I think Kelly heard Brice's voice.
- What?
She claimed to be hearing voices,
and when she repeated the words to me,
- the phrasing really sounded like Brice said it.
- How is that possible?
Hold on, let's consider the source here.
- Kelly is a pathological liar.
- And a murderer.
I would agree, but with
Kelly's posthuman ears,
maybe it's possible she
really did hear something.
- You have a posthuman on board?
- Yes.
My first job at Trust
Corp was researching
the physiological impacts
of posthuman medicine.
It's how we met.
In my work, I found that posthumans
with artificially augmented senses
could smell things that
only dogs could smell
and could hear frequencies
that would be inaudible
to the rest of us.
And if we're entangled in
each other's realities
- It's certainly possible.
- So Brice is alive.
Way to get her hopes up.
Well, it's not as if she's
communicating with the dead.
But didn't you say Brice
is dead in your world?
Yes. He died a hero
saving the lunar colony,
and apparently I'm dead in your world.
So you filled each other's
spaces in the other's reality.
- Is that possible?
- Well, even if that were true,
there would be no way of swapping
people back across quantum realities.
- It's impossible.
- I think it's clear given recent events
we don't know what is
possible and what isn't.
Catrina, can I get you something?
The old Cat used to
really love nail polish.
Would that be of interest to you?
Excuse me. Might I be able to meet
this posthuman that you mentioned?
Maybe I could give you some insight
into her history and abilities.
That's a great idea. We'll
have her brought to med bay.
Well, I'll escort you just to
make sure you don't get lost.
Uh, not so fast, Mr.
Trust. We need you here.
Please. She's Cat. I want to spend
as much time with her that I can.
Do you always have a guard?
I'm not exactly trusted around here.
Hmm. Gathered that.
It's a shame, really.
In my world, you're beloved by everyone.
Tell me more about our life there.
How do they get it so right
there and so wrong here?
Well, when I met you, you
were quite insecure, really.
Brilliant, but unsure of yourself.
You told me that I
steadied something in you.
Always said I was the
key to your happiness.
Maybe I should have
married you and not Helena.
Helena Davies? That manipulative
scientist who tried to
bring down Trust Industries?
Well, she was, uh but manipulative?
- That's a strong word.
- I don't know about in your reality,
but in mine, it's the perfect word.
Well, she did kidnap me
to put me on this ship.
But I did cheat on her
at every opportunity,
so perhaps we weren't the best fit.
Well, the Will I know cut
ties with her 20 years ago.
Oh, God. I really hope my Will is okay.
He's a good man there, eh?
The kindest, most decent man I know.
Look, don't worry. I'll figure this out,
whether in this reality or the other.
The only person in the universes
who could be smarter than me is me.
Probably true, but the other
you would never say that.
Um, I just need a minute.
- I hear you're British now.
- What's this about, miss?
It's "doctor," actually.
One of my specialties
back home is posthumans.
- Really?
- May I?
Hmm, your heartrate is quite high.
Are you aware that her
augmentations are on?
- What?
- I turned them off after the trial.
No, doctor, they're
on, which is alarming.
If you leave them on too long,
it can cause organ failure.
Yes, I'm aware of that, but I
swear I thought I turned them off.
(BEEPING)
Why didn't you tell me about
the risk of organ failure?
I was going to. We just
haven't had a moment.
(BEEPING)
I apologize, Kelly.
It won't happen again.
- You're done here.
- Wait.
Is there more than one
posthuman where you come from?
- Of course.
- Who regulates their upgrades?
Turns their augmentations
on or off, up or down?
They regulate themselves.
Really, it's quite simple.
Wait, these people don't
let you regulate yourself?
(LANE MUTTERING)
- Alicia, where are we?
- There's been very little experimentation done
on breaking quantum entanglements.
- TRUST: I did not!
- (Catrina laughing) You did. You did.
I sang my wedding vows?
Are you gonna tell me that that
other version of me can sing, too?
Oh, not one lick. Completely tone deaf.
But it was sweet.
(CLEARS THROAT) Sorry.
GARNET: You were saying?
One possibility would be
to create a quantum cut,
breaking the flow of quantum
information between the two Ark ships.
- And how do we do that?
- Our only option? Brute force.
- We have to move the ship.
- Move the ship as in leave Brice behind?
- Nobody wants to leave him behind, but
- But?
If we stay here and do nothing,
we'll all die when we run out
of food, water, and life support,
and we still may never
get Lieutenant Brice back.
At least if we try
this, we could break free
and maybe Brice and Catrina
will return to where they belong.
- Maybe?
- Eva. Eva.
This is insane. We're
not moving the ship
without any certainty
it's going to work.
I couldn't agree more.
It's far too risky.
What if moving the ship causes
us to go deeper into this void?
What other choice do we have?
Trying to move is our only hope.
Unless somebody has another idea?
What do you think Brice would want?
- Firing up the NEPS.
- I do not approve of this.
Attention all personnel,
brace for acceleration.
Yeah, hold on tight
or you might disappear.
- Thought I'd leave that part out.
- Wise.
Accelerating in three, two, one!
- What just happened?
- It feels like we got pulled back
and snapped by a rubber band.
Like I said, impossible.
Well, what the hell are we gonna do now?
- All right, we ready?
- Almost.
- How we looking?
- Ah, good timing.
We're just about to drop out of warp.
Because we're doing it
manually, we have to be precise.
Well, I'll watch for
visual confirmation.
Here we go.
Dropping out of warp in three, two
Well?
Well, we're out of FTL,
but I don't see Ark 3 or stars.
- What?
- I don't know.
We must've damaged our cameras
when we came out of warp.
I don't think so, mate. I mean,
couldn't have wished for
a smoother transition.
What just happened?
Eva, what's going on?
Where did Garnet and Lane just go?
And why's your hair like that?
- Ow! Jesus Christ!
- (GROANS)
- What the hell?
- Ensign Markovic, what's going on here?
I was I was just
protecting myself, sir.
This naked man showed
up here out of nowhere.
Sash? Sash, Sash, Sash. Sash,
relax, man. Relax. It's me.
You better come up with a
better line than that, you perv.
I'm not a perv! I'm not
a perv! It's me, Brice!
- Sweetheart, can you say something, please?
- What?
Security, report to Engineering.
Come on, man, is that really necessary?
You just showed up naked
with your junk hanging
out, assaulting this woman.
Yeah, I'd say it's necessary.
Look, I'm I'm really
sorry about this Sash.
- Yeah, you better be.
- No, I mean this.
(GRUNTS)
- Medford.
- What's up?
An unruly crew member just
showed up naked in Engineering.
He flashed one of the engineers,
punched another, and ran.
Apparently, he looks like
Commander James Brice.
- I thought he was dead.
- Of course he is.
You take the lower
decks, I'll take the high.
- We'll meet in the middle.
- On it.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
When did they fix this place?
Sorry, mate.
Well, hello there, handsome.
Aren't you supposed
to be in Maintenance?
I'm on a break.
And don't forget, stargazing date
in the observation deck tonight.
Well, how could I forget?
Plant Boy! It's good
to see you up and about.
Listen, mate, there's something
really weird going on, you know?
- Hey, stay there.
- Huh?
- Don't move! Stay there.
- What are you talking about?
(MUSIC PLAYING)
Move! Out of my way!
- Brice?
- Yes. Thank you.
(SIGHS)
Seriously?
Oh, fine.
All right, come on.
You're okay. Come on.
- There you go.
- Brice?
- You're all right.
- Is that really you?
Yes. Look, Sharon, I don't know
what the hell's going on here, right?
It's like I'm in some kind of
dream or something, you know?
I thought I'd never see you again.
Uh, you don't look so good.
I think I think I need to
take you to go see Dr. Kabir.
- Who?
- Dr. Kabir.
Come on. Dr. Kabir.
Never heard of him.
No, this is this is too weird.
I think I think maybe
something must have happened
when we dropped out of warp, right?
Because it's like I blinked, right?
And now everything's turned around.
Oh, I forgot how blue your eyes are.
- Hmm?
- I remember thinking the same thing
when you asked me to
marry you, and then you
you went and died on me.
Say what now?
Uh, okay. Wait. Sharon? Sharon?
Look at me. I'm very much alive, okay?
And secondly, right? We've
never been engaged, okay?
We're just friends. That's it. So
- How are you even real?
- Sharon, listen to me.
I'm gonna need your help, all
right? I'm gonna need your help.
I need to speak to someone who's good
with, like like, uh,
screwed up warp-space
bullshit, you know?
Someone like, um like Alicia.
Do you know Alicia Nevins?
Alicia Nevins in waste management?
Yep. Sure, yep. Where can I find her?
Um, she's probably on Deck 8.
- Deck 8. Right.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait!
No, please. Don't go yet.
I'm sorry. I really I really have to.
But you just get
yourself to med bay, okay?
- All right.
- (CRYING)
- Alicia!
- Yeah?
Wow. You really work
in waste management, eh?
- Do you need something?
- Yeah, so so, look.
You don't know me, but I know you,
and I really need your help.
If some toilet's backed up,
you can wait a few hours.
No, no. No, no. No, no, It's not that.
It's more, um, astrophysics
or, like, quantum mechanics
or some such shite.
What the hell are you talking about?
Okay, so, um so
here's the thing, right?
So I might be dreaming right
now. Maybe I'm hallucinating.
I really don't know, but
something happened, okay?
And now it's like I'm in some kind of
parallel universe or something.
But the thing is, right,
you see, in my universe
you are, like, this total
frickin' genius, right?
And you solve all the problems.
So what I'm really
hoping, really hoping,
is that maybe you can
you can solve this one.
- So you're saying in another universe, I'm a genius?
- Yeah.
That is the weirdest damn
pickup line I've ever heard.
Does it ever work for
you? No. Oh, no, no, no.
No, I'm not. I'm not
trying to hit on you, right?
- Have you smelt yourself?
- Okay, goodbye.
That was a joke. That was a joke.
Um, Alicia, please, I mean,
I really need your help.
Look if you need to know
about water reclamation,
valve replacement, or the chemical
make-up of urine, I'm your gal.
But whatever this is, I
have no idea how to help.
But, I mean, haven't you
got, like, five degrees?
What? No, I couldn't
even afford undergrad.
Jeez, you're talking to me
like I'm freaking William Trust.
William Trust. Of course.
Of course. You are brilliant.
- Where can I find William Trust?
- That's above my pay grade.
So maybe he hasn't woken up yet.
- Don't move.
- Oh.
- Hi, babe.
- Hey.
Look, I am really sorry to have
to do this to you, Plant Boy.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
Why do you keep calling me Plant Boy?
(GRUNTING)
- (ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)
- (SCREAMS)
The asswipe cheated on me last week.
Hey, you still wanna hook up?
Maybe you could help me even the score.
Alicia, I truly, honestly was
not trying to hit on you, okay?
- But, um but thank you for the save.
- It's Allie,
and you know where to find
me if you change your mind.
(GRUNTS)
No keypad.
Why why is there no keypad?
No, no, no. Come on, come on!
Oh.
(AIR HISSING)
Please tell me you're smart.
- Where's Catrina?
- Who?
- My wife. Where is she?
- I don't know.
And who are you?
I'm Lieutenant James Brice.
- He's dead.
- Yeah, yeah. So they keep telling me.
Which is why I need your help.
Because ever since
we dropped out of FTL,
basically nothing is
making any sense, okay?
People don't recognize me
or they think that I'm dead,
and no one seems to bloody believe me.
- Did you say you dropped out of FTL?
- Yes.
- And no one knows who you are?
- Well, that's the thing, right?
That's the thing. They
think that they know me,
but it's not really me, okay?
It's like some other,
like, version, of me.
I know. I know that
this must sound crazy.
- A quantum entanglement.
- Huh?
I've worried our introduction
to faster than light travel
would inevitably create one.
It's a quantum what? Sorry.
You may have found yourself
in some sort of alternative reality
created by the space-time bubble.
Yeah. I think maybe that.
You must be very overwhelmed.
Oh, yeah, just
I'm so sorry this has happened to you.
I've gotta be honest.
I can't really tell
if you're being genuine
or sarcastic right now.
Sarcasm is not in my nature, sir.
And I want to help you.
I should be staying in this cryo
until they find a cure for my Klampkins,
but this is far more important.
(GRUNTS)
And I have a feeling that
my wife's disappearance
and your reappearance are connected.
Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Remember, you've gotta
pressurize your suit first.
Ah, of course.
Did you just say you have Klampkins?
Yes. I tested a decarbonization
technique on myself.
Didn't end well. But at least I'm
the only one who got Klampkins.
Look, um, just so you know,
a bite from a
Mediterranean recluse spider
will have you right in
no time. Well, uh, no.
First you need a shot of
these two other ingredients,
but I can't actually remember
what they are right now,
But I'm sure, you being
you, will figure it out.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
Not sure how you know
that, but I'll try it.
But first we have to solve your problem,
and for that we're gonna
need the help of Captain Lane.
- Oh, you're kidding. Spencer Lane?
- No.
So let me get this straight.
We dropped out of warp and
found ourselves in a void,
and you dropped out of warp
and found yourself here.
Yep, exactly.
But you died saving my
life and many others,
so how are you here at all?
Well, that is pretty much
the question of the day
to be honest with you, mate.
We weren't supposed to wake you
until we found a Klampkins cure.
- My well-being is the least of our problems right now.
- I think I've got it, Dad!
The reason we got stuck in
a void has something to do
with the quantum mechanics
of warp space-time.
You're a bit late with
that information, boy.
My apologies. This is my son.
- Commander Spencer Lane. Mr. Trust, you're awake.
- Commander?
He'd never have gotten that
far without his old man.
Well, we can't know that for sure.
We do know that we'd never
be in our current situation
if it wasn't for you and your theories.
It wasn't my fault. We
had to drop out of warp
at Ark 3 to get the parts.
It doesn't matter whose
fault it is, now does it?
Captain, I believe what
your son said before is true.
I think we're caught between
two alternate realities.
(DISTORTED WARBLING)
- Did you see that?
- Certainly felt it.
It's like we saw a
glimpse of another Ark 1.
What is it, Mr. Trust?
I think I know how to fix this.
I believe we just saw Ark 1
because they were trying
to move in their reality.
But it didn't work since
the ship in this reality
- didn't also move in the opposite direction.
- Yes, that makes sense.
Our two realities are occupying
the same time and space.
And the only way to
separate them is by force.
One has to go forwards
and the other backwards
at exactly the same time.
How do we get the timings in sync?
Wouldn't we have to communicate
with the other Ark 1 somehow?
Exactly. So I'll recreate
the glimpse of the other Ark 1
by moving our ship in the
same way that they did.
And we'll use that small window
of opportunity to send a signal.
And if we can see them,
that means light waves
can pass between our realities,
which means that a
signal should go through.
- But what kind of signal?
- A radio signal.
And we might have
milliseconds, so at most,
we'll have time to send a binary file.
And hopefully the other
Ark can figure it out.
- Hopefully?
- Well, it's the only way.
And once the two realities
finally disengage,
Catrina and Brice can return
to their rightful places.
You sure about this, Mr. Trust?
I've run all the calculations twice.
You don't fancy doing that a third
time? You know, just to make sure?
I need this to work as much as you
do. That's my wife is over there.
Believe me, I'm as sure as I'll ever be.
- (SIGHS)
- Stand by for acceleration.
Brace.
Send the signal.
Well done, Mr. Trust.
Well, hopefully the
signal will be received.
Hey. Can we talk?
So are you leaving?
Well, I'm trying to.
Anything I can do to
convince you to stay?
- Look, Sharon, I know
- I know.
I know you're not really my fiancé.
I mean, you don't really
look at me the way he did.
But at least this way I can say goodbye.
Thank you.
This is so weird.
So that's the signal?
- What?
- I was so distracted
that I neglected to include
which direction to go.
- Huh?
- Well, hopefully the other version of myself
can figure out the
correct direction to go in.
You forget to include the direction?
Well, that's that's
just great. Well done.
Did I mention that the you
in my reality's a total arse?
- (CHIMING)
- A countdown?
- What the hell does this mean?
- We don't have much time, whatever it means.
It's a message. Brilliant!
Can someone explain to us why
we just saw the other reality?
Did someone try to move the
ship again without consulting me?
Okay, first of all, we don't
have to consult you on anything,
- And second, it wasn't us.
- It was someone in Catrina's reality this time.
- My Will!
- Probably. And they sent us this message.
Why would they send us a timer?
It's a countdown to move the ship again.
We have to move both Arks
at the exact same time.
But he didn't tell us which direction.
Mr. Trust is probably navigating
from the other reality,
and he would go forward,
so we should go backwards.
Unless of course he's anticipating
that we would anticipate this move,
- so maybe we should go forwards
- 20 seconds, Alicia.
Please don't screw this up.
Alicia!
GARNET: Ten seconds,
Alicia. Time for a decision.
- Which direction do you think you should go, Mr. Trust?
- Forwards.
- Five, four, three, two
- GARNET: You got this.
- I'm going backwards.
- LANE: one.
Brace!
The NEPS aren't going to withstand
it. We're pushing too hard!
- We have to keep going! It's the only way.
- The only way to kill us!
- BRICE: You miss me?
- Oh, dear.
- Oh, thank God.
- GARNET: We're so happy to see you, Brice.
I mean, not this much
of you, but you know.
- (BRICE LAUGHS)
- Sasha, trousers.
- Don't you ever do that again.
- Oh, believe me, none of this was my choice.
The stars are back in the sky,
and the system stopped glitching.
We did it.
(CHATTER, LAUGHTER)
Oh, it's good to have you back, Brice.
Oh, man, it's good to be back, pal.
Uh, listen, I have to ask.
Did you happen to see my
dad when you were over there?
It's just that Catrina mentioned
he was alive on her ship, so
Yeah, no, I I did, mate. I did.
Well, what was he like?
Well, I mean, he was
the captain, you know?
- Seemed like a really great leader.
- He was?
And you guys, I mean, you
seemed really close, you know?
He seemed like he was
really proud of his son.
Whew.
My apologies.
KIMI: Thank you.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Well, well, well.
If it isn't the disappearing man.
I missed you, Lieutenant.
Who else am I supposed to stare at
in those endless council meetings?
- Run along, Kimi.
- So the fancy lady from the other universe
mentioned that in her reality,
you were on that lunar mission.
You know, the one that thwarted
the Eastern Federation attack?
Mm. Would seem I'm quite
the hero over there.
Hmm. I was just wondering,
were you on that mission
in this reality, too?
Come on. If I was, nobody
would've died, right?
Right.
- Thanks.
- Thanks.
Hope they didn't spoil you
- with better food over there.
- You know, it's funny.
The one constant between
all of the space realities
is that no matter where you
are, the food is still crap.
I'm really glad you're back.
- What?
- What?
- You're being weird.
- I'm not being weird.
I'm just thinking about the
you in the other reality.
- What was I like?
- Oh, the same, you know.
I will say one thing though.
Hell of a good kisser.
What?
(MUSIC PLAYING)
BRICE: Approaching Ark 3.
Uh, do you guys see that?
There's a shuttle docked there.
That wasn't there when we left.
Which means
Someone's on Ark 3.
