Harper, if i knew
You couldn't follow directions,
I wouldn't have let you hold the map.
Relax. This is the door.
I was just securing the perimeter,
In case we were followed.
We've secured it three times.
You can never be too safe.
Or too lost.
We're here, aren't we?
We're where?
Where's the treasure?
They were vedrans, beka,
An advanced civilization.
They hid it.
Sounds advanced, all right.
Hiding things
Like little children do.
And you're positive about this?
Come on. Everybody knows about this.
It's a legend...
the curse of the t.C.P.A.
Training center
For protectors of avatars, right?
It's a legend.
Suddenly, it's crystal clear.
You passed the tests,
You became a protector, you got a prize.
And if you didn't pass?
You went stark raving mad.
Hmm.
I see you've already been inside.
Very funny.
Let me see the map again.
My guess is it doesn't take a genius
To open a door.
Just turn the knob.
Huh.
After you, oh, great one.
Knock that off.
What am i supposed to call you?
Looks like opportunity stopped knocking.
That's the fourth patient you've torched today, trance.
Trance's flare-Ups have been disrupting
Electrical systems all over the ship.
Not everything is about you, andromeda.
That's fine, andromeda.
Thanks.
Trance, you're working yourself way too hard.
Well, i can't stop now. I can do so much more.
If i brought us here,
I should be able to take us back.
Yeah, but i don't think
That's the way we want to go back.
It's more than controlling my powers, dylan.
It's knowing who i was.
You just have to give it time.
At trance's present rate
Of memory recovery,
I estimate full restoration
In 8.7 years.
Eight years?
8.7.
What does she know?
Something is calling me, dylan,
And i feel this need to fight it.
It is so frustrating.
It's like i'm looking through a fog-
I can see something, and i can't quite make it out.
Then don't fight it.
Let go.
Accept what has to be.
Dylan, i'm scared.
I know, but i'll be right by your side,
Always.
Okay.
Here goes.
I can see something.
Seefra-2.
I'm on seefra-2.
Trance?
Trance!
The universe is a dangerous place,
But in our future,
My crew and i fight to make it safe.
I am dylan hunt,
Captain of theandromeda ascendant,
And these are our adventures.
Andromeda, prep a slipfighter,
And see if you can find trance on seefra-2.
Aye, captain.
Step right up for fun.
Chance of a lifetime.
Right before your eyes.
Who's looking for excitement?
I thought you said that was a valuable artifact.
More like an anti-Fact.
It keeps giving me riddles.
Antique flexis.
Okay, look, you keep playing
With your little flexi thing.
I'm going to get us in here.
Boss, i need help with a riddle.
Not now, harper.
I've got enough riddles of my own to answer.
This is a good one.
Pretty sure i can top it.
It's vedran.
Believe me,
I still got you beat.
Come on.
Just a little help, please?
All right.
"What is always there, yet sometimes unseen?"
Uh, your conscience?
No, mean and incorrect.
All right, try a moon.
No, it can't be a moon.
Seefra doesn't have one.
Yes, but tarn vedra did.
And seefra used to be tarn vedra.
"Moon"
Ha!
Excellent.
Thanks, boss.
Hey, andromeda,
Get me an update on trance's location.
She is within a perimeter of 100 meters.
Could you be a little more precise?
Harper... strikes... again.
No kidding.
Some treasure,
And now we're trapped in an empty room.
Give me that.
Full of gas...
just like harper.
I have never wanted to kill him more.
Souvenirs. Souvenirs... step right up for fun.
This is beautiful.
A ring!
A beautiful ring for the lady.
You're welcome.
Come on down. Step right up for the thrill of a lifetime.
You've never seen anything like this before.
Something to take home to the girlfriend.
Come on down, get your souvenirs.
This is a chance of a lifetime.
Andromeda, where is she?
I'm still looking.
Hey, brother.
I'm broke and i'm dry
And i sure could use a drink, man.
A bath wouldn't kill you either.
Sorry, pal, but really can't help you.
Well, i can't help you either, then.
Well, if it isn't the puppet of the sun.
You still babbling about that book?
When the sun is restored, the truth shall be revealed.
Well, the way things are going with our suns,
We'll all be dead soon,
So how about you buying me a drink, huh?
I'm sorry.
I can't contribute to your weaknesses.
Hey, man, who you calling weak, huh?
I think maybe you should start moving along, okay?
What are you going to do with your little stick?
I don't know...
make it bigger?
Well, i'm definitely not going to help you now.
It is you... the one i have been waiting for.
Okay, you're scaring me just a little bit.
I set off to find the sun god,
And have come upon the bearer of the sun staff.
The sun shines down upon the righteous.
This is a great day indeed.
I am timmeo.
I'm dylan.
Now that you have appeared,
You will be able to return the ailing sun
To its former glory.
That's excellent. And how would i do that?
Here.
That's trance.
And you,
With your sun staff.
You must be reunited with the sun god.
Together, you will restore the balance.
Yeah, you know, it sounds like a really good plan,
But, once again, how would i do that?
There she is.
Trance!
Okay, okay, give me a little time here.
Got another idea. Just take me a second.
Everything is falling into...
aah!
...place.
Ew.
Hey...
i hope we don't run into the spiders that made these.
Or the rats that are chewing through this wall.
What?
I'm going to pretend that was your stomach
That made that growling noise.
That- That looks like trance.
Who's that guy with her?
Trance gets lucky.
They're both still glowing.
Looks like he's too hot to handle.
The hotter, the better, i think.
Oh, you'd need an asbestos suit to handle him.
He's an avatar.
Well, maybe i could be his protector.
I mean, how hard could it be
To pass these tests, anyway?
Why don't you ask curly?
Come one, come all, and see the amazing sun god.
Do you seek riches?
Power?
Love?
Come and see what the future holds for you...
if you dare.
The sun god.
I am the amazing sun god.
Stay back and be amazed by my powers.
I am all-Seeing, all-Knowing,
The essence of life itself.
Behold!
Tell me my future.
It's your past i see most clearly.
I feel myself within it.
Of course you do.
You're mine.
Things are coming into focus.
Trance.
Dylan.
I knew you'd find me.
Thankfully, in one piece.
I wasn't so sure after your exit fromandromeda.
I know, it surprised me too, but i know why it happened.
Look.
It's me.
I'm everywhere.
Isn't it wonderful?
It certainly seems to agree with you.
I finally fit in,
And i'm having memories and feelings
That i haven't had in a very long time.
And i've met someone.
You met someone?
Yeah, and i believe he's going to help me.
Oh, be careful, trance.
Seefra's not known for its space scouts.
There are answers here.
You were right.
Letting go is something i had to do.
It's good advice.
Yeah, but i also said
I would always be by your side, remember?
So i'll just hang out here
While you find your answers,
And then we'll head back toandromeda.
I don't think i'm coming back with you.
I think that maybe
You are going to have to let go this time.
Well, even if i should, i don't know if i can.
It'll be okay.
Wish me luck.
Good luck, trance.
I'm still sticking around, though.
Come on, doyle, talk to me.
Incidence of squawk.
Flux negative transient flux.
Well, it's a start... sort of.
Try talking to me and making sense.
I hate when you do that.
Flux negative.
Transient flux... ion.
Qua, qua...
qua.
Doyle, we've got to help beka and rhade,
And we can't do that if you don't cooperate,
So start cooperating.
Omni... pewter... synch-
Harper, you're a total screw-Up.
Paka, paka, paka...
omni-P...
one step forward, five steps back.
Transient.
None of these pictures
Are going to help us get out of here,
And yet...
we keep staring at them.
I've been over every square inch
Of this room.
I'm telling you, rhade,
There's no way out,
And there's no way in.
Ah, what the hell is this stuff?
Disgusting.
Oh.
I can't think straight.
This is crazy, beka!
We got in here somehow.
Where's the door?
Where the hell is the door?
Oh, i see.
I get it.
First, i can't open the door by myself,
And now i can't even recognize one.
Is that right?
That's not what i'm saying.
It's what you're not saying that's bugging me, rhade.
I will not talk about this now.
I will address it at my choosing.
I love it when you play the tame nietzschean.
Hey, maybe you want to curl up in a corner
And suck on your bone blades.
I can't touch you
Because the disgust within myself
Has brought on total paralysis.
I know.
I can really understand that
Now that i've met your worthless progenitor.
Ah!
Don't walk away from me.
I have had it
With you treating me like a museum exhibit.
Museum?
You are the repository of the guilt of a lifetime.
Thanks so much for coming.
You've been an excellent audience.
Be sure to catch the sun god's final performance on seefra-2.
Remember me.
Remember me?
In the stillness.
I asked you to tell me my future.
We never spoke, but...
through the deafening silence, i heard you.
And i heard you.
You're trembling.
I just- I get burned out.
I know what you mean.
Seeing the future used to do that to me too.
I just remembered that.
Why, you...
you see the future?
Yes.
Just like you, i am a sun god.
Wow. What are the odds?
Um, 520 million to one?
What else can you do?
That's it so far.
Well, when i need a calculator,
I'll call you.
Sweetheart, you should go and rest
For tonight's performance.
It's nice to meet you.
Trance.
Gemini.
Yes, we've met before.
You go on ahead. I'll be there soon.
I just want to get to know trance gemini a little better.
So would i.
You will.
I don't know what your game is, honey,
But you aren't the first
And you won't be the last groupie
To catch his eye.
No, you're wrong.
I was his first.
Something seems to be troubling you.
You don't say.
I'm geryon.
Maybe i can help.
You must not be from around here, geryon.
Why is that?
Because nobody helps anybody on seefra.
Well, let's just say i'm feeling charitable.
Get your little friend trance out of town,
And there's another one of those waiting for you.
No, thanks.
I, uh... already have enough bags.
Your girl
Is after my sun god.
He belongs to me.
Does he know that?
Look.
I got a good thing going here.
I'm not hurting anybody,
So why don't you do yourself a favor
And take the bearded lady back where she came from?
Your sun god may be your meal ticket,
But trance calls her own shots, okay?
Are you sure... we can't work out a deal?
We could have such a good time
Spending that money.
Sure, but would we have to spend it together?
Don't forget your charity.
Showtime.
Dylan hunt... the time is here.
You must meet with the sun god.
Restore balance, or we will all be destroyed.
Timmeo, i got to tell you,
I don't have much faith in your sun god.
I have enough faith for both of us.
You will restore the balance.
It is written.
That's one way to look at it.
No. All answers lie within the book.
I do not question it.
Maybe it's time to start.
I'm sorry, but i got to see a man about a ring.
Okay, uh...
count to 10.
Aloud, doyle.
One, two, ten...
not bad.
So you won't be doing any calculations for a while.
At least you're on your feet.
You're able to understand me.
Quan, qua, paka...
don't-
Don't start that again.
Now, listen.
You think you're ready to try the door again?
The handle this time, without firing at it?
Affirmative.
Okay.
Let's give her a try, then.
No, no, no, no, no. No!
No, no, no, no.
Doyle... okay.
Maybe we better sit you down
And try a few more adjustments.
It's just a matter of time
Before the rats attack.
There must be thousands of them.
The proper way for me to go.
Devoured by disease-Infested scum.
Too little and too many,
Just like my dreams.
Does this seem kind of crazy to you, rhade?
Hey.
Listen to me.
Obviously this is the test.
I mean, nothing has really happened to us here, has it?
I say we fight through it.
Concentrate.
And i thought i wanted out of here bad before.
Listen.
Maybe this is about you and me.
Huh?
I mean,
We're in this together
Through some bizarre twist of fate.
Maybe we just have to accept it.
I will never accept it.
I would rather die, but i can't.
Honest to god, rhade, nothing's really changed.
I'm still myself.
I'm still plain old beka...
just not plain and not old.
Who happens to be the female progenitor
Of millions and millions of nietzscheans.
You say that like it's my fault.
It's not about fault!
It's about reality.
We were raised to revere drago museveni,
So i should revere you.
Yeah, well, maybe a little reverence
Wouldn't hurt.
You don't understand.
If we get to the other universe,
Millions of nietzscheans will honor you.
You!
Yeah.
Well...
there's nothing we can do about that.
Finally...
we're going to die.
Why are you afraid of me?
I'm a sun god.
I'm not afraid of anything.
That's not true.
You were afraid of asteroids.
What do you want from me?
I want to know what was between us.
What is between us.
I don't even know who i am.
How could i know you?
Maybe this will remind you.
I do know you, trance gemini.
You're a part of me i can't explain.
Sometimes what has always been is seldom seen.
The bond that entwines us transcends space and time.
I wish i could see things as clearly as you.
Let go.
The memories will come.
You make it sound so simple.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
Within the memories lies our love.
Ione.
Thank god i got here in time.
Did you really think i would let you hurt him?
Ione?
Geryon, i'm fine.
You don't understand.
She isn't who she said she is.
You're not human.
No one cares what you think.
Trance is using you
To steal our secrets for her lover.
My what?
What?
Don't worry about it.
I took care of him
For you.
No.
Trance?
I tried to warn you.
No one wants you as much as i do.
Ah. There we go.
Good as new. Back to your old self.
Although it was kind of nice having you immobilized.
Really?
Um...
why won't they attack?
Why won't they end it?
Because, rhade, they're not real.
When we walked into this room, it was empty.
No rats, no petroglyphs.
The room is still empty.
Harper said we'd go crazy.
That's what's happening.
I'm tired.
What do you want of the sun god?
I want some answers.
Go buy a ticket.
Yeah. I want some real answers.
Get out.
No one calls me a fake.
Well, then, enlighten me.
Where's trance?
Oh, you must be dylan.
I though you were dead.
Really? That's the first i've heard of it.
Well, i can make it the last.
Well, looks like it's sundown.
All right, now i'm pissed.
All right.
One more time. Where's trance?
Why should i help you two destroy me?
We are not the problem.
Geryon is the one you have to worry about.
Here we go.
I'm afraid we got off to a rough start,
But just wait till you see
What i have in store for our future.
Looks like a shotgun wedding to me.
You are so much more than this.
Trance, i don't think he's the answer here.
He's my answer.
He needs me to believe in him as you have believed in me.
Fire away.
Don't fight your feelings.
Remember who you've always been.
I can't be who you want me to be.
I loved you then. I love you now.
Nothing has changed.
I can't remember.
Ione,
If you can't remember, then all is lost.
Ione?
Admit it, harper, you are a selfish little weasel.
Your insatiable need for monetary gain
Has put us all at risk.
Speaking of monetary gain, that's what the bag was for.
Not me.
Doyle, remind me to lower your emotional output level.
What if i lower your oxygen intake level?
Got it. Sorry.
I'm sorry.
Sorry i invited you.
You know, i just wanted you to know what it felt like
To be immobilized.
I don't care.
You have to care, rhade.
That's the point.
That's the test...
for both of us.
If we face it,
We can get out of here.
I know what's real.
Then accept it.
Rhade?
Rhade, stand up.
Now.
Intruders have come
To steal your sun god.
I have stopped them,
And they are now my prisoners.
Ione, what is always there, that's sometimes never seen?
The moon.
Me.
Perfect balance-
The sun and the moon.
Geryon has lied to you, my friends.
Ione is not a sun god.
He's a moon...
the moon of tarn vedra.
Do not believe this monster!
He is a liar, a fraud.
He's no fraud!
You are.
You just made a big mistake.
Come on.
Excuse me.
Dylan, are you all right?
Yeah, yeah. I think she likes me.
The moon!
In the sky!
Well, how about that?
You're just browsing, right?
Hey, you're really starting
To get on my nerves.
Yeah, sorry about that.
The sun and moon shine down upon us.
The book was right, dylan hunt.
Perhaps it's time to ask some questions.
I haven't seen one of these in a long time.
It's a vedran training manual
For protectors.
Protectors?
So they were real after all.
They are as real as the avatars they protect.
Protectors are born, not made.
Unfortunately, the vedrans wouldn't accept that,
And tried to train their own.
It is a very special relationship.
The avatars and the protectors will find each other.
The vedrans learned this when most of the trainees
Couldn't make it through the training center.
Training center?
Oh.
Harper, it's dylan.
Sorry, dylan.
Harper can't come to the comm right now.
He's a little tied up.
Because of him, rhade and beka might be trapped
In a vedran training center.
They're inside?
They'll never survive.
How come i only get the credit
When it's bad?
You can let me out now.
Uh, no.
Dylan, the cycle has begun.
If we don't get them out of there,
They will die.
Thanks, trance.
I'll just get there the old-Fashioned way.
Andromeda,give me a reading on harper's location.
Aye, captain.
Are you watching this, harper?
It didn't do that when we touched it.
Yes, mistress.
I'm not even going to ask.
Thanks for the ride.
Are you ready?
Hey, i was born ready.
And i was born in a supernova.
Now, that's the old trance talking.
I hope this thing works.
Oh, great.
Our problems just got bigger.
That moon is headed right for us.
Come on.
It's not working.
The orbits won't separate.
We're upsetting the balance.
We can't even open the door.
I'll help you.
Come on.
Ione, other side of the chamber.
You two need to keep your distance.
I'm impressed. You both survived.
Dylan said you'd be up to the task.
Dylan sent you?
I'm ione, moon of tarn vedra.
That's great.
Can you get us out of here?
It's not working.
This is my lucky day.
You are so out of your league.
I just finished fixing her.
Which i never tire of.
Thanks to trance,
The moon ripped a hole in the system,
And i can finally get out of this dump.
Of course,
I'm taking both the avatars with me.
A matched set should start a nice bidding war.
A bounty hunter.
You know, i think i preferred you better
As a cheap hustler.
Oh, that hurt.
Dylan, i'm feeling a magnetic pull from her.
That's funny.
She's done nothing but repel me,
Which is the interesting thing about magnets.
Yes, they can repel and attract.
Stand back and be amazed.
Good work, trance.
You really blew her away.
Hey!
It worked.
What?
Don't ask.
Harper!
Harper...
got to go. Got to go!
Trance, you know that the balance
Can never be restored as long as you two are together.
I found you.
I have to let you go.
I won't let you go, trance gemini.
You're the best part of me.
We must let go and accept what has to be.
Trance, i...
dylan, where i'm going, you can't follow me.
You can't stop me from missing you.
You often said that letting go is the first step.
I know.
It's the second step that i'm worried about.
Thank you.
The probability of trance returning
Is 3 in 6,530,000.
Well, those odds are better than our last 10 scenarios.
Try any scenario.
It is most probable she is not coming back.
And i thank you
For your eternal optimism, andromeda.
Ready for that second step?
I thought you'd never ask.
Old habits die hard, trance.
I was worried about you.
Giving up ione
Was more than i could bear, dylan.
I needed time.
And as i grew stronger
And closer to the one that i've always been
And the one i'm meant to be,
I realized
We have an eternity to be together,
But on this plane, right now,
My place is with you-
My protector.
You have been warned about me, and it is too late.
My sun is on its way.
Yeah, i know,
And when it comes, we're going to meet it together.
Accept what has to be.
You got it.
Probability of survival-
1 in 7,008,053.
All right,
Things are finally starting to look up.
Now, that's how i see it.
It's nice to have you back, trance.
So, let's talk about all those possible futures.
