1
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,600
Battle stations. Battle stations.

2
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,800
All crew, man your battle stations.

3
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,800
Three minutes five! Three
minutes six! Three minutes seven!

4
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:52,300
MOVE IT, THOMPSON!

5
00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:12,200
I wish you wouldn't do that.

6
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,200
What if your anti-grav harness failed
and I couldn't catch you in time.

7
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:20,500
Oh, Andromeda, you wouldn't let that happen,
because then you'd have to break in a new captain.

8
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,000
Starboard Point Defense Station Five,
manned and ready.

9
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:38,600
Report.

10
00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:41,500
Captain, all stations manned and ready.

11
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,300
Elapsed time, three minutes twenty-seven seconds.

12
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,300
Too slow!

13
00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:47,200
Too loud.

14
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:55,700
Thompson,

15
00:01:56,100 --> 00:01:59,700
you forgot to activate the secondary battery.
Andromeda had to do it for you.

16
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:00,800
Yes sir.

17
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,400
I'm sorry, sir. It won't happen again.

18
00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:04,700
It better not.

19
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,400
All hands, stand down!

20
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,800
All crew, stand down from stations.

21
00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:10,000
- Ship-wide, Rommie.
- All crew, stand down. End of drill.

22
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:14,100
This is the captain. Not bad, people,
but I'm not doing any cartwheels.

23
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,700
Team-leaders, coordinate additional sessions.
You know what to do.
Let's get it under three minutes.

24
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:19,800
Dismissed.

25
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,100
We suck.

26
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,900
Thompson. That unavailable battery
compromised his entire sector.

27
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,800
He's a bright kid. He'll learn.

28
00:02:31,900 --> 00:02:33,600
If he lives long enough.

29
00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:37,800
Ever the cynic. You know, I can't wait
to hear your toast at my wedding.

30
00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:42,800
"To Dylan and Sarah. I'm sure you'll have a
long and happy life together. Unless you die."

31
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,900
Nietzscheans don't believe in optimism.
It inhibits survival.

32
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,000
So does pessimism.

33
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:57,100
I'm glad you're getting married.
You may not be properly engineered,
but your genes are sound. You should reproduce.

34
00:02:57,300 --> 00:02:59,300
Thanks, I hope Sarah agrees with you.

35
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:05,000
I'm sure she does. As the great philosopher wrote :
"Man is for woman a means.
The end is always a child."

36
00:03:07,100 --> 00:03:10,300
I take it back. You're not a cynic,
you're a romantic.

37
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:16,300
Captain Hunt, we're receiving a hail
from a Systems Courier ship.
It's indicating a stellar level emergency.

38
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:17,800
On our way.

39
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,700
Captain on deck.

40
00:03:24,100 --> 00:03:25,200
As you were.

41
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:26,900
Status.

42
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,400
A courier just transmitted to normal space.
We're moving to intercept.

43
00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:32,100
Are we close enough for real time?

44
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,000
Range is one light second.

45
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,600
Establish communications.

46
00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:39,300
This is the Systems Courier ship
Alacrative Missive. Do you copy?

47
00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:40,600
Go ahead, Missive.

48
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,500
It's a rogue black hole! Hephaestus system.
They're trying to evacuate,
but there aren't enough ships.

49
00:03:44,700 --> 00:03:47,800
Hephaestus has a population of
nearly half a billion sentients.

50
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:49,900
You're the first ship I've contacted.

51
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,200
Plot a course to Hephaestus.

52
00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:52,000
Plotting course.

53
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,700
Keep moving, notify everyone you can.
Dispatch our own couriers.
Tell them to spread the word.

54
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,300
Ship-wide. This is the captain.

55
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,800
All hands, prepare to receive refugees.
Rig the ship for maximum capacity.

56
00:03:59,900 --> 00:04:01,900
Ejecting cargo from bays one through five.

57
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,400
Approaching transit point.

58
00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:07,000
Brace for slipstream.
Dawn, transit to slipstream on my mark.

59
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:11,900
Three

60
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:13,200
two

61
00:04:13,700 --> 00:04:14,400
one

62
00:04:15,100 --> 00:04:15,800
mark

63
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,500
Transitting back to normal space in three,
two, and...

64
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:54,400
We're receiving over a thousand distress signals.

65
00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:06,500
Reading a powerful singularity
in the outer solar system.

66
00:05:06,700 --> 00:05:09,600
Mass : three times ten to the thirty-first kilos.
Range: one-point-two light minutes.

67
00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:14,900
Hephaestus's population is over 70% Nietzscheans.
If my people are running,
the situation must be desperate.

68
00:05:15,100 --> 00:05:18,500
We'll take on as many people as we can.
Deploy outrunners.

69
00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:23,000
If there are any orbital habitats
near the singularity,
we've got to evacuate them immediately.

70
00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:26,200
A contingent of ships is closing on us,
aft and port.

71
00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:29,200
Tell them we'll get to them as soon as we...

72
00:05:31,300 --> 00:05:32,800
They're firing on us!

73
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:34,000
It's a trap.

74
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,700
Battle stations!

75
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:44,100
The long night has come

76
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,800
The system Commonwealth, the
greatest civilisation was fall

77
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,900
and now one ship, one crew are
about drive back the night,

78
00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:54,800
they'll gush up the light of civilisation

79
00:05:54,900 --> 00:05:57,500
on the starship Andromeda hope lives again

80
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:44,800
Battle stations. Battle stations.
All crew, man your battle stations.

81
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,600
Tell me this is another drill.

82
00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:51,900
It is no drill.

83
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,100
I was afraid of that.

84
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:02,800
All battle stations manned and ready.

85
00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:05,700
Two minutes, forty-one seconds.

86
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,200
Deploy combat drones.

87
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,100
How many ships are we up against?

88
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,600
I'm detecting over ten thousand enemy vessels.

89
00:07:20,700 --> 00:07:21,400
What?

90
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,800
Five hundred are already within combat radius.
All of them appear to be of Nietzschean design.

91
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,600
Ten thousand ships? It must have taken
years to gather a force this big.

92
00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:32,100
Sir, I recommend we deploy Nova bombs.

93
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:37,700
This system is inhabited!
I will not use strategic weapons,
no matter how many ships we're up against.

94
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,100
As you wish.

95
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,500
More ships are closing.

96
00:07:52,700 --> 00:07:54,700
We have to warn the rest of the High Guard.

97
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,600
You think this is some kind of Nietzschean
conspiracy against the Commonwealth?

98
00:07:57,700 --> 00:07:59,700
They're Nietzscheans. They're shooting at us.

99
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:05,500
Given the circumstances,
I should be confined to the brig,
along with the other Nietzscheans in the crew.

100
00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:07,800
Are you telling me I can't trust you?

101
00:08:07,900 --> 00:08:10,700
I'm saying you can't
afford to take any chances.

102
00:08:13,100 --> 00:08:14,000
Sergeant,

103
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,600
take Commander Rhade to the brig.
See to it that the other Nietzschean
crewmembers are releaved of duty.

104
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,000
Aye, Captain.

105
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,800
We can't maneuver. There are too many of them.

106
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,000
We've lost over 70% of our drones.

107
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:49,000
Can we transit to slipstream?

108
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,600
Not here. The gravitational pull of the
black hole is too strong. We're trapped.

109
00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:16,900
Thompson! Thompson!

110
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,900
Hull breach on level 8, section 3.
Evacuate immediately.

111
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:23,000
Thompson.

112
00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:27,200
I've lost connections with the lower decks.

113
00:09:27,300 --> 00:09:30,700
We've had multiple hull breaches.
Life support is failing.

114
00:09:31,300 --> 00:09:32,500
How long to transit?

115
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,400
We need ten more minutes to get
past the gravitational distortions.

116
00:09:46,700 --> 00:09:48,400
We're not gonna make it.

117
00:09:49,900 --> 00:09:51,900
How many of your androids are still functional?

118
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,500
Twenty-nine. Fifteen others are still on-line,
but I can't...

119
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,300
It'll have to do. Man the critical systems.

120
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,500
Give me ship-wide.

121
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:00,600
Ship-wide.

122
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,500
This is the captain. All hands abandon ship.
Repeat. All hands abandon ship.

123
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,200
Use every available escape pod and drone.

124
00:10:08,300 --> 00:10:11,700
Get away from the Andromeda as
fast as possible, then scatter.

125
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,500
Make your way to Starport and warn
the High Guard what's happened here.

126
00:10:15,700 --> 00:10:16,700
What about you?

127
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:17,900
I have an idea.

128
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,600
You always do. You're gonna need a good pilot.

129
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,800
I ordered you to abandon ship.

130
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:29,800
Let the record show that First Lieutenant
Refractions of Dawn
respectfully refuses to comply.

131
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,100
If we live through this,
you can court martial me.

132
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,900
You are one stubborn bug.

133
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,100
What's the human expression?
Guilty as charged.

134
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:42,700
Abandon ship.

135
00:10:42,900 --> 00:10:45,800
All crew, abandon ship. Proceed to escape pods.

136
00:10:45,900 --> 00:10:48,400
Shuttles available on Hangar Deck Three.

137
00:10:48,900 --> 00:10:50,100
Abandon ship.

138
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:52,800
Abandon ship.

139
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:55,500
Abandon ship.

140
00:11:02,900 --> 00:11:04,100
This way, sir.

141
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,100
Keep training better.

142
00:11:24,100 --> 00:11:26,000
Seal off command and control.

143
00:11:26,300 --> 00:11:30,700
Vent the rest of the atmosphere.
We need to make the ship as light as possible.

144
00:11:37,300 --> 00:11:39,600
The rest of the ship's been depressurized.

145
00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:43,000
Set a course.
Heading zero-nine-zero by negative fifteen.

146
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,700
But sir, that takes us right

147
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,000
I know where it takes us.
straight into the black hole.

148
00:12:00,900 --> 00:12:02,900
Dylan, are you sure about this?

149
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:08,000
My connections to the rest of the ship are shot.
We're leaking anti-protons
from the port reserve tanks.

150
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,800
I can't guarantee I'll have enough power left
to pull us away from the singularity.

151
00:12:13,700 --> 00:12:15,700
We're not strong enough to fight our way free.

152
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,600
We've gotta use the black hole's gravity
to slingshot us away from the Nietzscheans.
It's our only chance.

153
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,100
Course laid in.

154
00:12:21,700 --> 00:12:23,300
All forward, lieutenant.

155
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:24,700
All forward. Aye.

156
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:31,800
I, ..., didn't catch that last part.

157
00:12:31,900 --> 00:12:34,700
My life. My soul. For the hive. For the hive.

158
00:12:36,300 --> 00:12:38,600
Or as you apes would put it, BANZAI!

159
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,000
Gravity fields are holding.

160
00:12:50,100 --> 00:12:52,800
We're heading straight at it.
When should I vector away?

161
00:12:52,900 --> 00:12:55,300
Not just yet. Let's build up some speed first.

162
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,500
We're at 25 PSL. 26. 28. Thirty!

163
00:13:07,300 --> 00:13:09,800
The main energy grid.....I'm losing power...

164
00:13:09,900 --> 00:13:11,200
We've lost all power.

165
00:13:11,300 --> 00:13:12,700
Going to reserves.

166
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,400
Andromeda! Ship! Are you there?

167
00:13:19,700 --> 00:13:21,600
The AI network's been disrupted.

168
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:23,300
How could that happen?

169
00:13:23,500 --> 00:13:25,200
Stay focused, lieutenant.

170
00:13:25,300 --> 00:13:26,200
Aye-Aye.

171
00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:30,300
We can still make it. One thing's for sure.
There's no turning back now.

172
00:13:36,300 --> 00:13:37,100
Rhade?

173
00:13:41,100 --> 00:13:42,800
Ten light seconds away.

174
00:13:44,900 --> 00:13:52,500
Divert all power to starboard engine and plot
a hyperbolic fly-by. But keep us at least a half
light-second away from the event horizon. Got it.

175
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,300
Dylan! Sabotage!

176
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:01,500
Sabotage.

177
00:14:02,900 --> 00:14:05,600
Captain! The starboard engines are off-plane.

178
00:14:06,700 --> 00:14:08,500
Rotate ship to compens....

179
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:11,400
Commander?

180
00:14:21,700 --> 00:14:22,500
Rhade!

181
00:14:23,100 --> 00:14:24,600
I tried to warn you.

182
00:14:25,900 --> 00:14:27,300
What are you doing?

183
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,600
Ensuring the survival of my people.

184
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,000
The Commonwealth is weak.
It bargains with its enemies, it compromises.

185
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:39,000
My people are engineered to be perfect!
And the Commonwealth is no place for the strong.

186
00:14:40,700 --> 00:14:43,300
So the Nietzscheans decided to destroy it.

187
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,000
We spent years preparing, waiting, arguing.

188
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:52,200
For a long time, I opposed the destruction of
the Systems Commonwealth. So did many others.

189
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,000
The Treaty of Antares changed all that.

190
00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,200
The Magog.

191
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:00,800
Yes! The Magog.

192
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,400
Savages. Predators.

193
00:15:05,700 --> 00:15:07,400
They eat sentient beings.

194
00:15:08,100 --> 00:15:12,400
They reproduce by rape.
They killed over a billion people
on Brandenburg Tor.

195
00:15:13,900 --> 00:15:18,500
They destroyed the Nietzschean colony on Hawking.
And what did the Commonwealth do?

196
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,500
We made peace with them!

197
00:15:21,500 --> 00:15:23,500
You compromised with monsters!

198
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:29,000
The blood of over a billion people cried
out for vengeance, and you made peace.

199
00:15:30,900 --> 00:15:34,000
You have sown the wind.
You shall reap the whirlwind.

200
00:15:35,700 --> 00:15:39,000
You know what your problem is, Rhade?
You talk too much.

201
00:16:34,300 --> 00:16:35,500
What was that?

202
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:41,400
A temporal distortion. Our artificial
gravity must be amplifying the time
dilation effects of the black hole.

203
00:16:51,500 --> 00:16:53,100
Give up. You can't win.

204
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:57,800
I told you before.

205
00:16:58,300 --> 00:17:00,200
Time dilation is increasing.

206
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,200
Pessimism is not a survival trait.

207
00:18:08,500 --> 00:18:10,400
Gaheris, what have you done?

208
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,100
I'm proud of you. You should be.

209
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,200
Anything yet?
Or are you people still poking around
like blind men?

210
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,500
You'll be the first to know.

211
00:19:24,700 --> 00:19:28,600
This is growing so tedious, Captain Valentine.
I paid you for results.

212
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:38,200
And you'll get them. But in case you haven't noticed,
there's about ten trillion cubic meters of vortex
out there, and only twenty million C.M. of ship.

213
00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:41,100
Which just goes to prove how AMAZING I am.

214
00:19:42,100 --> 00:19:43,300
You found it?

215
00:19:43,300 --> 00:19:45,000
For my next trick, a needle in a haystack.

216
00:19:45,100 --> 00:19:48,000
Patch the sensor scan through to the main viewer.

217
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,800
Let's get some magnification.

218
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,000
There.

219
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:00,100
Finally.

220
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,600
After all these years.

221
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,100
The Andromeda Ascendant.

222
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,600
Pride of the Systems Commonwealth.
And she's all...

223
00:20:14,100 --> 00:20:15,000
...ours.

224
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:39,900
You seeing what I'm seeing?

225
00:20:39,900 --> 00:20:42,000
A really excited human with a rash?

226
00:20:42,100 --> 00:20:46,400
Ha ha! No, the ship. The Andromeda Ascendant.
Right where that furry little twitch said it would be.

227
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,600
You're speaking of our respected employer.

228
00:20:48,700 --> 00:20:49,700
Ha! Whooo!

229
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,100
You know, I may actually be
starting to like that guy.

230
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,500
No prior claims.

231
00:20:53,900 --> 00:20:55,300
Open salvage, baby.

232
00:20:56,700 --> 00:20:58,500
Then it appears we are in luck.

233
00:20:58,600 --> 00:20:59,800
Luck? Luck?!?

234
00:21:00,900 --> 00:21:05,900
This is a High Guard ship of the line.
The pride of the old Commonwealth
perfectly preserved.

235
00:21:06,700 --> 00:21:10,300
When they made up the phrase 
"They don't make 'em like they used to.",
this ship is what they were talking about.

236
00:21:10,500 --> 00:21:15,000
It is THE big score. The Shangri-La.
It's the Holy Grail of interstellar salvage.

237
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:17,500
Yes. And it's pretty, too.

238
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:23,400
And, according to Beka,
Gerentex already has a buyer...I dunno,
some tin-pot dictator with visions of empire.

239
00:21:24,700 --> 00:21:30,400
I don't know what the asking price is,
but even at a measly five-percent each,
we are talking some serious lucre.

240
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,300
Which means we are all RICH RICH RICH, baby.

241
00:21:34,500 --> 00:21:37,000
...that is if we can pull it away
from the black hole.

242
00:21:37,100 --> 00:21:39,600
Trance, have you been in the engine room lately?

243
00:21:39,700 --> 00:21:41,200
No, it's disgusting back there.

244
00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:44,600
Thank you. But take my word for it.
Getting that puppy loose will not be a problem.

245
00:21:44,700 --> 00:21:49,000
The only thing we do have to, you know,
worry about is...how are we gonna spend our money?

246
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:54,800
Lemme guess. A little cottage by the lakeshore,
a white picket fence, dog?
All the traditional mud-foot accessories.

247
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,100
Not even close.
I have one word for you two. Seraglio.

248
00:21:59,900 --> 00:22:00,800
Sir what?

249
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,500
Seraglio. Slave girls and grapes.
Eunuch guards. Classy.

250
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:10,500
Hey, don't forget the silk wall-hangings!
I love silk wall-hangings.
The only reason I go is for the silk wall-hangings.

251
00:22:10,700 --> 00:22:12,100
Harper, you are truly disgusting.

252
00:22:12,100 --> 00:22:15,200
I try. So boss, what're you
gonna do with your share?

253
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,300
I dunno. I figure by the time I settle
my father's debts, fix up the Maru,

254
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:24,300
pay back that loan I took out the fund
this job, I should have just about
enough for a nice dinner at Cavanaugh's,

255
00:22:24,500 --> 00:22:26,100
as long as I don't order any wine.

256
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:31,100
You're buying freedom, peace of mind.
I'd say that's worth more than physical indulgence.

257
00:22:33,500 --> 00:22:34,400
Speak for yourself, Rev.

258
00:22:34,500 --> 00:22:35,400
Hmmmm...

259
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,000
Be greatful I don't value such things.

260
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,200
Boss, he's giving me that look again.

261
00:22:43,300 --> 00:22:46,200
Rev, don't. Let me get you some steak sauce first.

262
00:22:47,100 --> 00:22:48,200
Ha ha ha ha.

263
00:22:49,300 --> 00:22:51,200
So Rev, what are your plans?

264
00:22:53,500 --> 00:22:56,200
I'm going to build a hospital on Kingfisher.

265
00:22:57,300 --> 00:22:59,900
Kingfisher?
Isn't that the world where you were, uh...

266
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,100
...BORN. Yes.

267
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,700
My people did some terrible things on Kingfisher.

268
00:23:08,700 --> 00:23:14,900
If I can do anything to help to alleviate
the suffering that they caused...
that I caused...it will be well worth it.

269
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:24,100
In a way, I'll be trying to buy absolution.
Which makes me just as selfish as any of you.

270
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,700
You know, I, for one, hope you're
as good at this as you say you are.

271
00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:51,100
Actually, I'm better. Rev Bem, Trance,
Harper - sound off. Pilot ready.

272
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,400
Navigation and sensors
- ready.

273
00:23:55,900 --> 00:23:58,900
Environmental controls and AG systems
- ready. I hope.

274
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Engine room ready, as always.
Let's kick some ass!

275
00:24:02,500 --> 00:24:04,600
What's the time dilation look like?

276
00:24:04,700 --> 00:24:11,700
Hmmmm...the Andromeda is slowly moving away
from the singularity. Time dilation levels
on board are one million to one, and falling.

277
00:24:14,300 --> 00:24:17,500
Looks like in a few more years,
it would've cleared the singularity by itself.

278
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:23,400
Yes, yes, yes. Which means the longer you wait,
the more likely someone else will be able
to come along and take it away from us!

279
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:29,500
The trick is to free the Andromeda
without getting stuck in time ourselves.
Or being crushed inside the hole.

280
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,200
Well, if you're not up to the job...

281
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,300
Look! You hired me because I was
the only one desperate enough to take
this job and slick enough to pull it off.

282
00:24:37,500 --> 00:24:41,300
But from here on in, it's my gig.
So back off and let me do my job.

283
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,800
Prepare to cut loose the cargo pod.

284
00:24:46,900 --> 00:24:48,300
The pod? But, I...

285
00:24:49,100 --> 00:24:52,500
OK! For this to work,
we need to lose any unnecessary mass.

286
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,700
Don't worry.
We'll retrieve your cargo when we get back.

287
00:24:55,900 --> 00:25:00,600
No! No, wait. I, um, I have to make some
preparations in the pod before we detach it.

288
00:25:03,900 --> 00:25:06,900
By all means. Just remember,
we're on a tight schedule.

289
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Yeah. Yes.

290
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,700
Hold on, everyone.
Our employer needs to tuck his cargo to bed
before we get started.

291
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,900
It won't be long now, babies.

292
00:25:49,700 --> 00:25:50,500
There.

293
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,300
Ready when you are, captain.

294
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,300
The pod's away.

295
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,000
OK, everybody, just like we practiced.

296
00:26:36,300 --> 00:26:37,300
Let's rock.

297
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:50,900
And away we go.

298
00:26:58,900 --> 00:27:02,200
Acceleration, sixty-seven thousand G's.
AG fields holding.

299
00:27:10,700 --> 00:27:12,400
29% light speed. Thirty.

300
00:27:14,900 --> 00:27:17,700
Hang on. This is where it gets a little rough.

301
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,700
AG Fields at maximum!

302
00:27:30,300 --> 00:27:31,800
Almost there. Harper!

303
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,800
I know, I know, more power.

304
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,600
We're exceeding safety threshold!

305
00:27:43,700 --> 00:27:45,400
That's the general idea.

306
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,300
Target in range.

307
00:27:58,600 --> 00:27:59,300
Fire!

308
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:04,400
Harpoons away.

309
00:28:06,500 --> 00:28:10,700
If you pray to any kind of divinity,
you might want to start right about....

310
00:28:16,300 --> 00:28:17,000
NOW!

311
00:28:30,100 --> 00:28:32,100
The bucky cables are holding.

312
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,100
We're doing it. We're actually doing it.

313
00:28:48,300 --> 00:28:49,000
Ok...

314
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,600
We've, uh, lost bucky cables five through seven.

315
00:28:53,100 --> 00:28:54,100
Speed's dropping.

316
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,000
Cut the cables. Let it go.

317
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,400
No. We can do this. Harper?

318
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,300
There's nothing left!

319
00:29:02,900 --> 00:29:03,800
Unless...

320
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,500
That was cable ten.

321
00:29:10,900 --> 00:29:12,200
Come on, Harper.

322
00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:17,800
OK, if this works, in about ten seconds
you're gonna have one big burst of power.

323
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:19,700
And if it doesn't?

324
00:29:19,700 --> 00:29:22,900
Well, then I hope Rev Bem
has some major pull upstairs.

325
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,700
Three seconds to the big one,
ladies and gentlemen.

326
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:27,600
Three.

327
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:28,900
Two.

328
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:30,300
One.

329
00:29:46,300 --> 00:29:47,000
Yes!

330
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:54,800
I AM A GOD! Whooo!

331
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,900
Critical Reaction in Engine Three.
Critical Reaction in Engine Three.

332
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,200
Oh, crap.

333
00:30:12,100 --> 00:30:14,600
Harper, you little psycho,
did you do what I think you did?

334
00:30:14,700 --> 00:30:18,000
Hey, it worked, didn't it?
I got it, I got it. It's cool.

335
00:30:19,500 --> 00:30:20,800
He's a lunatic.

336
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,000
I'm afraid to ask.

337
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:28,000
He injected protons straight into
one of our reserve AP tanks.
Instant roman candle.

338
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,200
What about the Andromeda?

339
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:34,800
I'm bringing us around.

340
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,800
Ladies and gentlemen, the Andromeda Ascendant.

341
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,100
OK, I would just like to say,
for the record, We Rule.

342
00:31:10,300 --> 00:31:13,100
Captain Hunt! Captain Hunt, are you all right?

343
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:19,400
I'll live.

344
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:27,500
Captain Hunt, something's wrong. We're moving
away from the singularity, but the Nietzschean
fleet, our escape pods, they're all gone.

345
00:31:30,500 --> 00:31:31,900
That's impossible.

346
00:31:32,100 --> 00:31:37,200
We may have experienced more severe
time dilations as we approached the
event horizon of the black hole.

347
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:38,400
How severe?

348
00:31:41,700 --> 00:31:42,800
Spit it out!

349
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,900
According to my calculations,
we have been frozen in time for over 300 years.

350
00:31:51,700 --> 00:31:53,200
Three hundred years?

351
00:31:57,100 --> 00:31:58,100
Oh my god.

352
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,400
Sarah? My folks? The rest of the crew?

353
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,900
I'm sorry, Dylan.
Everyone we know, our entire world, is gone.

354
00:32:34,700 --> 00:32:38,900
OK, so according to the stories,
the crew of the Andromeda abandoned ship.

355
00:32:39,500 --> 00:32:43,300
But they did so during the middle of a battle,
so God only knows what we can expect
when we get over there.

356
00:32:43,500 --> 00:32:50,800
I wouldn't presume to speak for the Divine,
but do watch out for unexploded munitions,
anti-personnel nanobots, automated attack drones...

357
00:32:52,300 --> 00:32:54,900
Not to mention radiation leaks,
blown pressure seals, shrapnel...

358
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,100
Ok, Ok...mom and dad, we get the picture.

359
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:58,700
We'll be careful. We promise.

360
00:32:58,700 --> 00:33:01,900
I don't want you to be careful.
Trance, I want you to be paranoid.

361
00:33:02,100 --> 00:33:03,700
Oh! Oh! Miss Valentine?

362
00:33:03,700 --> 00:33:04,600
Yes, Harper.

363
00:33:04,700 --> 00:33:07,500
This isn't our first field trip.
Purple company excluded, of course.

364
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:13,200
That is my point. I want you to treat
every boarding just like your first one.
I want you to double-check everything.

365
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,300
Hell, triple check it.
I'd hate for any of you to end up like Vexpag.

366
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:18,700
Vexpag?

367
00:33:19,300 --> 00:33:20,600
Your predecessor.

368
00:33:20,900 --> 00:33:24,400
Oh! He's the guy who retired.
Didn't you say he bought a farm?

369
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,200
THE farm. He bought, the, farm.

370
00:33:27,700 --> 00:33:29,000
Well, what's the difference?

371
00:33:29,100 --> 00:33:30,700
Torn pressure suit and a bad emergency seal.

372
00:33:30,700 --> 00:33:32,300
Oh, that is different.

373
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,400
You'll be fine. Keep your eyes open.
Use your head.

374
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,600
Or whatever it is you think with.

375
00:33:45,300 --> 00:33:46,800
Trance, your helmet?

376
00:33:47,700 --> 00:33:48,700
Oh, right.

377
00:34:07,900 --> 00:34:10,300
Air's breathable, what there is of it.

378
00:34:10,700 --> 00:34:15,200
We're at .6 atmospheres in here,
but a lot of the ship is still exposed to vacuum.

379
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,900
We'll have to repressurize it section by section.

380
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:24,600
I am in love.

381
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,400
With a machine. Why am I not surprised?

382
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:34,600
Hey! It's not just a machine. It's a masterpiece.
A work of art like, uh,
a Durer etching or the Parthenon...

383
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,900
OR, a Harley-Davidson.
A motorcycle. It's an Earth thing.

384
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,200
I hate to interrupt such passion,
but I smell blood.

385
00:34:48,300 --> 00:34:51,400
And burnt carbon.
This ship has been through a fight.

386
00:34:53,100 --> 00:34:56,400
Or. OR everyone on board got
pancaked by the singularity.

387
00:34:56,700 --> 00:34:58,200
No life-signs so far.

388
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:03,300
Good. Harper, patch into the ship's computer.
Let's see if we can get this thing to fly again.

389
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:07,000
Thanks.

390
00:35:09,500 --> 00:35:14,000
Three hundred years.
I wonder if anyone even remembers
what we were fighting for.

391
00:35:15,700 --> 00:35:18,000
They died for what they believed in.

392
00:35:18,900 --> 00:35:21,300
That's the same speech I always give.

393
00:35:21,500 --> 00:35:24,600
Except there's no one to give
the speech to now, is there?

394
00:35:24,700 --> 00:35:29,100
Their children, Dawn's mating group,
Rhade's wives? They've all been dead
for at least two hundred years, now.

395
00:35:29,300 --> 00:35:34,000
We'll find someone. Their descendants.
The Commonwealth will know where to find them.

396
00:35:34,900 --> 00:35:36,300
The Commonwealth.

397
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,900
We need to make contact,
let them know we're still alive.

398
00:35:45,300 --> 00:35:48,400
I'm not picking up any local signals.
We'll have to...

399
00:35:49,900 --> 00:35:52,100
Dylan? We have intruders on board!

400
00:35:54,900 --> 00:35:56,800
They're trying to rewire me!

401
00:35:57,300 --> 00:35:58,800
Come on, be nice. Oh!

402
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:02,500
Got it.

403
00:36:02,700 --> 00:36:04,100
You have control of the ship?

404
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,500
No. But I have control of the doors.

405
00:36:08,700 --> 00:36:15,600
This I.S. net is insane. I've never seen so
much interconnectivity in a single system.
It's gonna take weeks to figure it all out.

406
00:36:15,900 --> 00:36:16,700
Weeks?

407
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,300
We have a delivery date to keep.

408
00:36:20,900 --> 00:36:23,400
And we will, even if we
have to drag this thing in.

409
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:28,200
But I'm betting your client
will be a lot happier
if we deliver a ship he can actually use.

410
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:29,800
Captain, I will...

411
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:34,900
Look, this little, uh, struggle for authority thing
is all very cute, but, uh, if you're not too busy,
I could really use a ship's schematic.

412
00:36:35,100 --> 00:36:35,900
A what?

413
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,100
Something that'll explain
what all this crap does.

414
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,100
Do you want us to go poke our noses around?

415
00:36:41,300 --> 00:36:45,500
Yeah. See what you can find. Maybe,
we can get ourselves a little divine providence.

416
00:36:45,700 --> 00:36:47,400
Never hurts to ask.

417
00:36:55,300 --> 00:36:57,600
Trance, have you found anything yet?

418
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:04,200
Trance?

419
00:37:05,700 --> 00:37:06,800
Oh. Pretty.

420
00:37:07,500 --> 00:37:08,200
What?

421
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:16,100
Anestarian Tundra Flowers.
The best oxygen producing plants ever discovered.
I thought they were extinct.

422
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,100
...you're supposed to be
looking for a schematic.

423
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,400
I knew I was forgetting something.

424
00:37:22,700 --> 00:37:24,900
Uh, Beka, what about you? Any luck?

425
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,600
No. No, nothing so far.

426
00:37:51,300 --> 00:37:52,600
That makes five.

427
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,800
Humans working with the Magog. Are they crazy?

428
00:37:56,300 --> 00:37:59,800
Apparently. Although their leader
appears to be a Nightsider.

429
00:37:59,900 --> 00:38:03,700
And I haven't a clue what she is.
Another thing I don't understand.

430
00:38:05,300 --> 00:38:07,400
I'm pretty sure that's Triangulum Measles.

431
00:38:07,500 --> 00:38:08,600
So he's sick.

432
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,700
With a disease that was nearly
extinct three hundred years ago.

433
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:16,700
Something any decent doctor could cure over night.
I'm not sure I like the implications of this.

434
00:38:16,900 --> 00:38:17,900
Me either.

435
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,600
Hey guys? I'm waiting.

436
00:38:21,500 --> 00:38:24,400
Maybe it's time I introduced
myself to our guests.

437
00:38:31,300 --> 00:38:32,800
You want something done right...

438
00:38:32,900 --> 00:38:34,900
...you have to do it yourself.

439
00:38:39,300 --> 00:38:41,400
You finding everything you need?

440
00:38:50,700 --> 00:38:52,100
Who the hell are you?

441
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,900
No. It's who the hell are YOU,
and what are you doing on my ship?

442
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:01,700
Your ship? No, no, no. This baby's ours.
We salvaged it fair and square.
Finder's keepers.

443
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:06,500
This is a Commonwealth starship.
You can't just come aboard and lay claim to it.

444
00:39:06,700 --> 00:39:07,900
Commonwealth?

445
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:11,400
Wait a minute.

446
00:39:13,900 --> 00:39:17,500
You got stuck in that time thing.
Let me guess,
you're one of the original crew, right?

447
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:21,400
I'm Captain Dylan Hunt of the High Guard,
Commander of this vessel.

448
00:39:22,900 --> 00:39:25,400
I got news for you, Captain Dylan Hunt.

449
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,300
You're not the commander of anything.

450
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,700
There is no High Guard. Not anymore.

451
00:39:30,100 --> 00:39:31,300
There was a war.

452
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,300
A big one, against the Nietzscheans.

453
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:34,500
I was there.

454
00:39:36,300 --> 00:39:39,000
Well,
I guess you kinda just missed the end,

455
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,700
then. I hate to break it to you,

456
00:39:41,900 --> 00:39:43,300
but you guys lost.

457
00:39:43,500 --> 00:39:46,900
The Commonwealth has been gone
for over three hundred years.

458
00:39:49,700 --> 00:39:50,900
It's my fault.

459
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,000
If I had made it to Slipstream,
got a warning to the High Guard...

460
00:39:54,100 --> 00:39:56,100
It still might not have made a difference.

461
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,200
The Nietzscheans had a vast fleet.

462
00:39:58,300 --> 00:40:01,700
They'd been preparing for years
and they had surprise on their side.

463
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,300
By the time word had spread,
it may have already been too late.

464
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,700
How could the High Guard let it happen?

465
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,400
We had ten times as many ships,
a hundred times as many men.

466
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,100
And we haven't fought a war

467
00:40:11,100 --> 00:40:13,400
a real war, in over a thousand years.

468
00:40:13,500 --> 00:40:16,500
Whereas for the Nietzscheans,
every day is a battle.

469
00:40:17,100 --> 00:40:18,600
It can't be all gone.

470
00:40:19,100 --> 00:40:24,500
The Commonwealth spanned three galaxies!
We had over a million member worlds,
orbital habitats, asteroid colonies.

471
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,200
Part of it must still exist somewhere.

472
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,500
Then we have to find it.

473
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:30,500
We will.

474
00:40:32,300 --> 00:40:33,900
But first things first.

475
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,300
I'm telling ya. The guy is huge.
He's like...

476
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,100
some kind of Greek god or something.

477
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,400
Still, there's only one of him.

478
00:40:42,500 --> 00:40:46,600
Yeah, but nobody said anything about
TAKING this ship away from anybody...

479
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,400
especially somebody so big.

480
00:40:48,500 --> 00:40:50,400
It's supposed to be abandoned.

481
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,300
Yeah, but if it wasn't for us,
he'd still be stuck in that black hole.

482
00:40:53,500 --> 00:40:54,400
I think he owes us.

483
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:58,000
Well, maybe if we just asked him
nicely, he would give it to us.

484
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,600
Hmmmm. Mercy is it's own reward.

485
00:41:00,700 --> 00:41:01,900
Yeah, says you.

486
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,100
Look, I say screw this talkin'
and we start walkin'. Get...

487
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:10,300
This is Captain Dylan Hunt,
commander of the Systems Commonwealth
Starship Andromeda Ascendant.

488
00:41:11,300 --> 00:41:14,800
I've been told the Commonwealth has fallen.
Maybe that's true.

489
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:20,000
But there's still one place where
the Commonwealth endures,
and that's on this ship. MY ship.

490
00:41:20,300 --> 00:41:23,900
I understand you intend to loot the Andromeda
and sell what's left over.

491
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,500
I promise you, that is not gonna happen.

492
00:41:27,100 --> 00:41:32,700
You have fifteen minutes to restore
the Andromeda's control capabilities
and withdraw to your own vessel,

493
00:41:33,300 --> 00:41:35,500
or I will retake my ship by force.

494
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:39,100
Hunt out.

495
00:41:41,300 --> 00:41:42,700
I don't like threats.

496
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:43,900
Neither do I.

497
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,300
Which is why I brought him along.

498
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,600
I'll take it from here.

499
00:42:13,700 --> 00:42:16,700
