LOMMIE We're going into the void-- no one's done that before. MEL Eagle Sixteen did it. LOMMIE No one’s done that and come back. MEL Well, we're with Roy ERIS. I think we're in good hands. Hi, DBRANIN Sorry. MEL, LOMMIE, this is Doctor Matheson. AGATHA Oh, AGATHA's fine. I’m a psychiatrist. I'll be looking after MEL I’m excited to meet him. I’m never met an “L.-one” DBRANIN Mel and I planned every aspect of this mission together. MEL Karl was nervous that a group of scientists wouldn’t be DBRANIN But Mel has been born and raised for space travel. So, MEL I’ll do my best. LOMMIE LOMMIE Thorne. AGATHA It’s nice to meet you. DBRANIN Lommie talks to the ship. Internal systems, data flow, AGATHA Neural port? LOMMIE Yeah. AGATHA Oh. DBRANIN It's not much to look at, but, uh, it’s what they had.

I Off Loader A fucking “L.-one”?! Off Loader 2 Goddammit! SUCZEK Captain ERIS wants him on this ship, so we're bringing MEL Doctor Matheson, do you really think your “L.-one” can AGATHA Karl does. DBRANIN Yeah, I do. Look, the “teke” energy that comes off MEL I hope they speak the same language. DBRANIN Well, it's all we got to go on. AGATHA He's not my “L.-one” by the way, I’ve just known him MEL What's he like? AGATHA He’s good, at times. SUCZEK Here it comes. Get to position, follow my lead. Come on. DBRANIN You’re doing the right thing. AGATHA I hope you’re right. THALE SUCZEK I think he’s waking up. AGATHA He’s under suppression. SUCZEK Open the pipe. Coming your way. THALE SUCZEK The fuck was that?! AGATHA It was psychic feedback. He wasn’t trying to hurt you. SUCZEK Bad idea, bringing one of those things on to this ship. DBRANIN Let’s get him to the dome, now. SUCZEK Alright, moving. DBRANIN It’s gonna be okay. They can handle it. I want to show AGATHA It's beautiful. DBRANIN I promised you I'd look after THALE. Captain ERIS has AGATHA THALE’s spent his entire life locked inside that mountain. ROWAN This must be our lion tamer! I loved your paper on DBRANIN This is ROWAN, our xeno-biologist. AGATHA Oh, it’s nice to meet you. ROWAN You too. AGATHA Well, you must be thrilled, a chance to make first contact ROWAN Is that what Karl told you we're doing? DBRANIN Yeah, ROWAN is a little skeptical of our mission. AGATHA You don't believe anything's out there? ROWAN Actually, I do. It’s what concerns me. DBRANIN Don't let ROWAN rattle you. He thrives on chaos. ROWAN Oh, look. Sunset. How romantic. MEL Is it true about the captain? That he never leaves his DBRANIN Captain ERIS is a very private person. AGATHA But you've met him though, right? DBRANIN Yeah. Yeah, sure. Sort of. MURPHY Oy! Is it true? You brought an “L.-one” on board? DBRANIN Yeah, his name is THALE and he's vital to the success of MURPHY He's an “L.-one”, alright? They're murderers. AUGGIE Murphy, come on. Not now! Don't do this. MURPHY We didn't sign up for this! Alright? We ain’t safe with that AGATHA He’s not a thing -- he's a person. A kid. MURPHY Tell that to the families of Luna Seventy-one. DBRANIN Okay, look, you're afraid, I get it. You don’t think I’m CREW MEMBER A fucking “L.-one”? CREW DBRANIN Look, our planet is dying. Isn't that…that’s why you're all ERIS Any crew member not dedicated to the mission MURPHY Unless that “L.-one” kills us first. AUGGIE Anyone not fully dedicated to this mission is free to ROWAN That’s a lovely speech. TECH 1 Standby for “S.-four-V.”. TECH 2 Standby to “S.-four-V.” to “C.-oh-I.” capabilities. TECH 1 Okay. Announcer Shuttle has attached. TECH 1 Roger. TECH 2 Nine “A.” plus one-seven, nine plus AUGGIE Jump seats. Unless you know how to operate one of ROWAN No, no, we don’t. MURPHY I guess he allows anyone on this bridge now. AGATHA Why is he just a projection? DBRANIN Well, that’s one of life’s great mysteries. ERIS This mission may change the course of human history. AUGGIE Systems ready, sir. ERIS Sixty percent thrust, please. AUGGIE Okay, lady. Here we go. MEL Waited for this my whole life. AUGGIE Malfunction Thruster four, standby. AGATHA Is this normal? MURPHY I'm getting error codes, sir. AUGGIE Malfunction on Thruster two and three. Misfire, Captain, ERIS MURPHY, report. MURPHY Multiple errors, Captain. ERIS Bypass it, now! We need manual control. AUGGIE Misfire on one. I have no control! MURPHY I’ve got this too. AUGGIE We're approaching atmosphere, Captain. She's heating MURPHY I’ve got this. Manual override engaged! Ah!

DORYEN Well, who else could've messed with the launch. SUCZEK Ssh. DORYEN Piece of shit. SUCZEK Hey, careful. DORYEN You see him?! Did you see him? SUCZEK I don’t know. DORYEN What's he doing?! What the fuck is that? SUCZEK I don't know. DORYEN Stand by! The fucker hung himself. SUCZEK Huh? DORYEN He hung himself. THALE Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha! SUCZEK DORYEN? DORYEN THALE You two are a sneaky bunch, you know that?! That’s SUCZEK You fucking animal! THALE Thank you very much. SUCZEK Fucking animal! You fucking animal! THALE Oy, oy, oy, oy! Where are you going?! Oy! Come back! I’ve SUCZEK This isn't over. THALE Come on then, “bruv”. I’m fucking standing right here. DBRANIN So, MURPHY’s in stable condition at Re-Gen. AGATHA This had nothing to do with THALE. He can't cause a DBRANIN I know that. But the crew doesn't. AGATHA Well, maybe it was one of the crew. You know, trying to DBRANIN Well, that's why you need to talk to him to get all the SUCZEK You best get control of that thing. AGATHA I’ll handle this. DBRANIN You sure? AGATHA I can do it. DBRANIN Okay. AGATHA Thale. Dammit. Stop that. THALE Morning, Agatha. You look nice. AGATHA You're being immature. Those images are private. THALE Oh, I like it when you share. AGATHA Sharing indicates I gave you permission. THALE You know, I like the air here. It's AGATHA In time. There was a malfunction during the launch. THALE Flashes? Images? I don’t know. Would you let me watch AGATHA This isn't a game, THALE. A man was very badly hurt. THALE Yeah, that's not why you're here, is it? Ah, you want to SKYE THALE Mmm. Jesus. Something’s different. Ah, AGATHA Trust is a two-way street. LOMMIE I can't find any source for the malfunction during DBRANIN That's not good enough. We need to prove it wasn't MEL What if it was? DBRANIN No, no. “L.-one’s” can’t penetrate systems and LOMMIE Found something else. Here's our current trajectory. And MEL They shifted course. LOMMIE Yes. Further into the void. DBRANIN What's the result to our mission time? LOMMIE At least five extra months. All of it deep in the void. DBRANIN No, run the calculations. I need a precise intercept. JOY What’s wrong? You seem… DBRANIN Just some problems on board – telepath. JOY You knew it was a risk. DBRANIN Yeah, it’s gonna be okay. AGATHA’s got a handle on it, it’ll JOY Of course she does. DBRANIN I’ve been thinking about SKYE a lot. I really miss her. JOY She would be proud of you. Just like me. DBRANIN It's really hard to think of you in that house alone. JOY I'm not alone. I know you're up there. Looking down SKYE Try and catch me... DBRANIN What did you get from THALE? AGATHA I'm just looking through these sketches. I don't see DBRANIN No wonder the crew's afraid of him. AGATHA He draws what he sees. Those images come from the DBRANIN Yep, my daughter, SKYE. I think THALE is making me see AGATHA Well, very powerful “L.-one’s” can do it, but not under DBRANIN Okay, because I’m seeing things. I heard her voice. AGATHA What are you suggesting? DBRANIN Just wondering if you really have your patient under MEL Captain ERIS? I know you’re watching me. Where are ERIS Where I always am. Somewhere below your feet. MEL Do you watch everyone? ERIS I don't find everyone fascinating. MEL ERIS We've never had a cadet from the genetic program on MEL A lot of people have been enhanced, Captain. I'm sure ERIS Enhancement is not the same as engineering. You, MEL I guess I'd be miserable, like the rest of 'em down there. ERIS Are most people unhappy on Earth? MEL You've never been? ERIS The Nightflyer suits my needs just fine. MEL Of course it does. Plenty of captive targets for you to ERIS I'm not looking for that. I can see flesh anytime I want. MEL Is that why you watch me? Captain ERIS? You ROWAN Entre. DBRANIN Hey, ROWAN, you got a minute? ROWAN Got a million of them. DBRANIN Okay, good. So, we have a problem. AGATHA. I'm in ROWAN Hmm. That's controversial. DBRANIN What happens if we lose THALE? ROWAN Well, you know how I feel. I'm merely one of the DBRANIN Yeah, that's exactly why I'm asking you for your annoying ROWAN We've been bombarding them for years with radio and DBRANIN Nothing. ROWAN I doubt they're having trouble understanding us. Most DBRANIN ROWAN, what's your point? ROWAN My point is that any beings that intelligent would see the DBRANIN That is an incredibly pessimistic view of human kind. ROWAN Realistic. Look at Earth through a biological prism. DBRANIN If we lose THALE, can we still communicate with the ROWAN What’s the point? They're probably going to DBRANIN If you think we’re so doomed, then why have you agreed ROWAN Well, I spent my entire life wondering what form alien life MEL COMPUTER VOICE Error. Tank malfunction. Error. Tank malfunction. Oxygen MEL COMPUTER VOICE System override. Emergency drain sequence initiated. LOMMIE MEL! MEL! MEL! MEL THALE The ground, it’s cold. I like it. AGATHA Can you smell the fennel? It's kind of a licorice smell. THALE They have voices. AGATHA Who? THALE The trees. Plants. Those bees over there. AGATHA You know, Captain and ERIS and his crew are worried. THALE So are you. Don’t trust the physic kid, he's unsafe. AGATHA Thale, I know… THALE No! “L.-one’s” are treated like shit. You know, we can AGATHA I need you to tell me the truth about something. Have THALE You mean that little girl? AGATHA That's his daughter, THALE. THALE Was his daughter. She's dead. And no, I didn't, AGATHA Karl? DBRANIN I need Thale. Captain Eris wants to see him. We THALE No, you don't. They want to put me to sleep. And they DBRANIN There was another accident. MEL was nearly killed. AGATHA Oh. THALE Are you gonna them to back off? DBRANIN Look, we just want to talk to you. THALE That’s bullshit! AGATHA THALE. DBRANIN Agatha, tell him to stop. AGATHA Tell them to back down. Guard AGATHA Don’t do this THALE! Guard AGATHA Thale! THALE Guard ERIS You understand why we had to do this? THALE Where are you? I can't feel your thoughts. ERIS I'm right here. With you. DBRANIN THALE, I can’t keep you safe if you don’t tell me the truth. THALE That’s a bit rich, coming from you, isn’t it, sweetheart? AGATHA What's he talking about? DBRANIN We detected a change in the alien ship’s course. ERIS As did my Nav Team. Two days ago. I've already AGATHA What does that mean? Karl? DBRANIN Five extra months in the void. AGATHA No, no, I can't do that. DBRANIN We're not going back without making contact! ERIS The Nightflyer can handle the journey. The unknown is THALE Listen, if I wanted to hurt your little ship, you’d know ERIS The only way to know for sure is to take THALE offline so I AGATHA Offline? ERIS Suspend his brain function, completely, or I will have him DBRANIN If we don't do this, the crew will kill him. AGATHA I'm so sorry, THALE. THALE Go on. MEL Hey. LOMMIE How are you? MEL Come in. LOMMIE I saw something. MEL Do you think it was THALE? LOMMIE I don't know. I mean, how would he get in the system? MEL I know what they say. But he could've gotten inside your LOMMIE Yeah, I don't know maybe. MEL I've never felt that before. LOMMIE What? MEL Helpless. You saved my life. LOMMIE Uh, I’m sorry, I’m not very good at, at this. MEL I’ll make you feel something else. DBRANIN DBRANIN. Initiate memory playback. SKYE Daddy look! Come on! Try and catch me! DBRANIN Stop memory playback. SKYE Can't you find me? I see you! Peek-a-boo! DBRANIN Ah. Stop playback. This is not how it happened. Stop SKYE Daddy? Daddy? Daddy? Daddy? DBRANIN AGATHA It is not THALE. DBRANIN He's using my memories against me. AGATHA Do you hear yourself? You're paranoid. DBRANIN And you're blind! What is it with you and this “L.-one” AGATHA There’s the Karl I remember. DBRANIN No, this isn't about us, this is about the mission. AGATHA No, you've always had a problem with my work. DBRANIN Your work is why you're here. AGATHA Then I'm asking you to trust me. I need you to trust me. DBRANIN Show me. AGATHA Someone’s been here. THALE? DBRANIN How could he just wake up? AGATHA Well, someone would have to turn off his medication, DBRANIN Well, I doubt any of ERIS' crew is going to do that AGATHA He’s scared, Karl. “L.-one’s” hurt people when they feel ERIS You should get to your quarters. A search of the ship is DBRANIN So, you’ve got camera’s everywhere, how is this ERIS My vid-feeds are dark. Someone breached the system. AGATHA Well, that wasn’t THALE. He can't turn off cameras and ERIS My security team will find him and take the appropriate AGATHA He'll know you're coming. If you corner him, your crew MEL Now we have a bit of privacy. DBRANIN So, we need to find THALE before ERIS' men do. Can you LOMMIE I've never been able to get past the firewalls. DBRANIN I need you to try harder. If THALE starts killing ERIS' crew, LOMMIE I'm ready. SUCZEK Stand down. MURPHY Easy. SUCZEK Hey, Murph. Listen, you better get back to your quarters. MURPHY I need to get down to the access panel. ERIS needs his SUCZEK Here, take that. Just in case. AGATHA What’s going on? MEL We need to take her out. DBRANIN No, no, you can't. If you disconnect the tether while AGATHA Gone? Gone where? ROWAN In there. Forever. AGATHA Someone do something! MEL LOMMIE? LOMMIE? Can you hear me? LOMMIE? LOMMIE Get out. Get out! Get out! Get out! DBRANIN Hey. LOMMIE What the fuck is that?
