00:01:11Alright, back to your stations everyone.
00:01:15Mercury is gone.
00:01:17We knew this was coming.
00:01:20Now Space Force paid big money to give us a front seat to this catastrophe.
00:01:26Let's give them all the science we've got.
00:01:30Before Venus.
00:01:33Or Earth suffers the same fate.
00:01:36Or Mars for that matter.
00:01:39What?
00:01:40I can't be the only one thinking this.
00:01:43Seven months after we end the war with Mars announced this.
00:01:46Yeah.
00:01:47Now the sun's trying to kill us both.
00:01:50That'll do McCulloch.
00:01:52I want scans of the aftermath for Mercury ASAP.
00:01:56Start debris analysis for temperature readings.
00:01:57Build forecast models.
00:02:00Let's get to work.
00:02:01Start 44 hours 18 minutes.
00:02:04Elliptical deviation.
00:02:0661 hours 57 minutes.
00:02:10Complete loss of the planet Mercury.
00:02:14Took 93 hours.
00:02:18Four days.
00:02:19For Mercury to be consumed by the sun.
00:02:24Contact IceCube Observatory for their readings.
00:02:27Compare them with NASA OSINT data.
00:02:31This is ISS calling.
00:02:34IceCube Neutrino Observatory, over.
00:02:40This is Interplanetary Space Station calling IceCube Neutrino Observatory, over.
00:02:47Increased radiation is interfering with broadband.
00:02:49Hold for beamforming response to augment signal.
00:03:17The majority of the debris is vaporized...
00:03:20The super heating fades.
00:03:22void of mercury's iron core i'll regret the 3d sample for further analysis
00:03:34you okay what's going on yes i'm nervous
00:03:40you won't say anything to cut it with you
00:03:44must stay focused at all times for the good of the missions no distractions
00:03:51no other parties you don't have to explain we just witnessed something that no one could have
00:03:57imagined happening in our lifetimes we're all feeling it inada
00:04:10i'll populate the orbital history simulation models with temperature analysis from this
00:04:17sample that should have told us how quickly the orbital decay is happening like rings in a tree
00:04:23telling how old it is
00:04:26okay
00:04:28so long back reports a couple of modules
00:04:42am i coming through okay don't launch yes eric i'm reading you i just wish i had better news but
00:04:47our
00:04:48remote data of the sun's surface expansion has spiked erratically since mercury's been wiped out
00:04:53far worse than was predicted yeah you should see the fragment sample we were able to collect and
00:04:58scan wait you're saying you have you have a fragment sample i thought everything would
00:05:03have been burnt up we got lucky huh uh i'll generate a status package on solar surface structure readings
00:05:11and uh send it up to you and the team how are you holding up i haven't had a time
00:05:17to really
00:05:17let it sink in yeah everybody here is a bit on edge what you mean sending that data package now
00:05:32i miss you thinking about you all the time i miss you i can't wait to see you again
00:05:38i realize that might be a while yeah talk soon okay talk soon i love you i love you
00:05:49icebox data package received distributing on all department channels
00:05:58those figures are looking crazy
00:06:05hinata the threshold when mercury reached full stages integration where worth it
00:06:10um approximately 0.2 on astronomical units why
00:06:17so lance what is it collect your data meet me in the couple in two minutes
00:06:21the fragment that we got from mercury post dispersal has shown that its orbit experienced extreme
00:06:26destabilization the fragment shows cracking and scarring consistent with tidal heating as mercury
00:06:32continues its inwards fire into the sun friction levels destabilize mercury temperature surface
00:06:38so it's called frost stop just that i understand correctly so it's up it's slowed as it approaches
00:06:43solar decimal early readings show that the sun's death perimeter is expending okay and if the
00:06:49death zone continues expanding how does that affect venus and earth here you and i have built a
00:06:55hypothetical model of the orbital decay for venus to calculate the approach to the death zone
00:07:01running orbital decay projection simulation
00:07:06the orbital trajectories are near identical correct that would mean that venus has already begun to
00:07:13decay venus is larger than mercury the planet might resist decay longer not if the sun's
00:07:18death zone keeps expanding we need to know how fast that's happening earth and venus they're sister
00:07:23planets in size mass composition density and proximity venus has to survive at all costs
00:07:33so launch contact eric tell him we need his team on alert so launch do you have more data the
00:07:41sun's
00:07:41atmosphere is expanding which caused mercury to vaporize when its core got destabilized and venus
00:07:47is showing the same orbital decay we need to know how fast the sun is expanding to protect venus and
00:07:52earth of course our surveys would tell us that we need to know eric you want the serious hardware now
00:07:58the
00:07:59window of opportunity is closing if our solar velocity estimates hold the radiation levels after
00:08:04the loss of mercury are still extremely high now i can start prepping solar survey drones but the
00:08:13launch window will be extremely tight for a successful go launch eric get the drums prepped asap
00:08:23the probes on those drones only survived six seconds past the chromosphere they're the best in the
00:08:27biz you helped design those things first shot out of college nidden's vnv team were you still there
00:08:33when the war started no sir delta nine eighth squadron tip of the sphere martians didn't expect us to
00:08:38fight back so quick hooah my brother rory was third infantry gave him hell too miss him every day
00:08:47i ss this is nasa mmoc three rockets on approach with solar survey drones on board
00:08:56once the rockets reach orbit we'll deploy the drones and transfer control for the iss good luck
00:09:12mmoc local
00:09:14uh
00:09:23drones now
00:09:25Ready to transfer control on your mark.
00:09:31MMOC control, ISS assuming CP4 navigation access on my mark.
00:09:36Three, two, one.
00:09:40Mark.
00:09:47Solar survey imaging drone did not deploy from rocket three.
00:09:50Check for interference.
00:09:51No signal. I can't access for deployment.
00:09:55MMOC control, third stick unresponsive.
00:09:58Failed deployment.
00:09:59Repeat, third stick unresponsive.
00:10:01Failed deployment.
00:10:02Ugh, radiation's interfering with the antenna.
00:10:05It needs manual calibration,
00:10:06or else we won't be able to maneuver the drones once they're online.
00:10:08Stay here.
00:10:09DMH can handle it.
00:10:11Commander, I'd prefer to go.
00:10:12I can realign it quicker.
00:10:14He's not familiar with our interface.
00:10:16Understood.
00:10:17But I need you here to execute the core survey.
00:10:27Diomid, perform manual antenna calibration.
00:10:31We're still experiencing signal interference.
00:10:44Rocket three has suffered electrical arc failure.
00:10:46The drones on board can't launch.
00:10:48That leaves us with six drones at our disposal.
00:10:51Six drones aren't enough.
00:10:52We go with what we got.
00:10:54Truman, Patcheson, let's get to work.
00:10:56Since we have fewer drones than expected,
00:10:57I'd like to hold on to as many as we can.
00:11:01Tap into the ATAC's interface.
00:11:03I'll assign your equipment on that protocol.
00:11:05Truman, stand by.
00:11:06Programming digital tethers under the operating code.
00:11:09Direct the drones to come back here to the ISS
00:11:11after dropping their probes.
00:11:17Maintain a safe distance for heat expansion.
00:11:20We don't want those drones to burn out prematurely.
00:11:22Nearing the drop point.
00:11:25Helioseismic mapping data initiated.
00:11:26Chain commands are holding.
00:11:28Solar winds are interfering with the controls.
00:11:31I'm having the same problem.
00:11:33Diomid needs to get that antenna in place.
00:11:39Antenna raised, recalibrated,
00:11:41and signal strength increased by 35%.
00:11:45Truman, are all six drones picking up helioseismic data?
00:11:48Affirmative.
00:11:50But there's a lag.
00:11:52Maneuvering vehicles into the drop positions.
00:11:55Diomid, stand by.
00:11:56We're still not at full strength on that transmission.
00:11:59Solar winds are kicking our ass.
00:12:01Standing by until you say otherwise.
00:12:04My survey drones are now positioned at their coordinates.
00:12:07Drones are assigned to my coordinates.
00:12:09Comasphere probes ready for eject.
00:12:11Do it.
00:12:12Go for the eject.
00:12:23Data sets are coming in.
00:12:26Probes reached a chromosphere.
00:12:28We're starting to get baseline figures.
00:12:30Now we can really see how much trouble we're in.
00:12:38Controls have lost reception.
00:12:39I'm reading only one of my drones.
00:12:42I've lost both of mine.
00:12:43Dead controls are my two as well.
00:12:45Soho forecast.
00:12:46CME warning.
00:12:47We've lost all signal.
00:12:49Helioseismic and Neutrino have stopped populating.
00:12:51The CME must have knocked out the signal of the drones.
00:12:54SSN and Topo issuing conjunction alerts now.
00:12:57That would mean that the drones are coming right back to us.
00:13:01The digital tether that is programmed into the code.
00:13:04Initiate avoidance maneuvers immediately.
00:13:06The debris is past the RET threshold.
00:13:09There's not enough time.
00:13:10Picking up debris sensor early warning alerts.
00:13:13All personnel report to your shelter-in-place modules.
00:13:16I repeat.
00:13:17All personnel report to your shelter-in-place modules
00:13:19for debris impact preparation.
00:13:53All personnel report to your shelter.
00:13:56The boat's been breached.
00:13:57Find the breach.
00:13:59Conduct a full station structural analysis.
00:14:02We left DM in B Corridor.
00:14:05The boat's been compromised.
00:14:07Truman and I made it to shelter module two.
00:14:15McCulloch, seal off B Corridor and Unity Module immediately.
00:14:18B Corridor's already sealed off.
00:14:20And I've locked down Unity Module.
00:14:23No further loss of pressure.
00:14:25Everything is secure.
00:14:29Diomid?
00:14:35It's dead.
00:14:48Look, I know this is difficult.
00:14:53But we must remain focused.
00:15:00For the good of a mission,
00:15:01we have to continue fighting.
00:15:06For Diomid.
00:15:10For all of us.
00:15:16I'll notify NASA.
00:15:19Contact his wife.
00:15:27Grief counseling won't help.
00:15:30It's just more words.
00:15:34She may as well go through it alone.
00:15:36I did.
00:15:38Wait, wait.
00:15:42You hear that?
00:15:47Something's wrong.
00:15:49Must be the oxygen generation system.
00:15:52Run an ECLSS diagnostic immediately.
00:15:55Diagnostic analysis.
00:15:56In progress.
00:15:57Let's get back to Coupola.
00:16:00McCulloch.
00:16:01Monitor the ECLSS diagnostic from there.
00:16:05Understood.
00:16:16Why wasn't the debris avoidance maneuver performed?
00:16:19Marina, wait.
00:16:19It was too late for any advance warning.
00:16:21We were already in the path of the debris.
00:16:22You could have at least tried.
00:16:23There was no time.
00:16:25The core survey drones have stored their data sets
00:16:27once the probes got sent to the chromosphere.
00:16:29CME interrupted the highly seismic readings,
00:16:31but we can still use the data from Neutrina.
00:16:39Kinada.
00:16:40Can you double check my calculation on the core surveys?
00:16:43Yeah.
00:16:54Eight days.
00:16:58That can be right.
00:17:02Okay.
00:17:03So this is what the core surveys are telling us.
00:17:06The Sun's fusion process has stalled
00:17:08and it's trying to restart.
00:17:10And that's why it devoured Mercury.
00:17:12It has to restart its engine to survive.
00:17:15And as it expands,
00:17:16it grows closer to total collapse.
00:17:19And that expansion is caused by the mass it's devoured.
00:17:23When it destroyed and consumed Mercury,
00:17:26the death zone of the Sun grew larger.
00:17:30Now, according to these core survey readings,
00:17:33we have eight days
00:17:36to prevent Earth
00:17:37from being destroyed and consumed
00:17:39like Mercury.
00:17:41And Venus.
00:17:42In less time than that.
00:17:56It's a hailing beacon
00:17:57of a Martian scout vessel.
00:18:00Respond to it.
00:18:01See what he wants.
00:18:11This is Commander Lorraine Carter
00:18:12aboard Expedition Fourth Quarter.
00:18:15A peaceful Earth mission
00:18:16aboard Interplanetary Space Station.
00:18:18Over.
00:18:19And now as we're here now,
00:18:20you shouldn't have said anything.
00:18:23Seizure units vessel ISS.
00:18:24I am Eklouf,
00:18:25science emissary
00:18:26of the Mars Exploration and Research Office.
00:18:29Request permission to board ISS.
00:18:31No.
00:18:32Absolutely not.
00:18:33Fair warning of approach.
00:18:34I come with a plan
00:18:35to prevent the cataclysm
00:18:37from destroying your world
00:18:38and ours.
00:18:39Don't.
00:18:39It's lying to us.
00:18:41That is a possibility.
00:18:42What if it's a Martian crew
00:18:43coming to take command
00:18:44of the station?
00:18:46Seizure units time frame of approach.
00:18:49Time zero minus 42 minutes
00:18:51by NASA standard.
00:18:58Stand by, Seizure units.
00:19:00And await further instruction.
00:19:02ISS out.
00:19:05You can't possibly entertain this idea.
00:19:07Do not trust it.
00:19:10Hey, no goddamn way.
00:19:13I, my brother is dead
00:19:15because those sons of bitches killed her.
00:19:17If you think I'm gonna work with one of them
00:19:19on this mission,
00:19:20you're out of your goddamn mind.
00:19:22McCulloch!
00:19:23Go to the ECLSS module,
00:19:26monitor diagnostic from there.
00:19:36Don't trust them.
00:19:37They're invaders.
00:19:38They've proven that already.
00:19:40But this is a science emissary
00:19:41from their XRO.
00:19:42And you take that as face value.
00:19:44You're a fool.
00:19:46That's how they were able
00:19:46to ambush us in the first place.
00:19:48This ISS is an interplanetary vessel.
00:19:51The Mars XRO
00:19:51still retains partnership rights.
00:19:53But is it here as a partner?
00:19:54We don't know what you want.
00:19:55What if it's here for assistance?
00:19:58Are we willing to work with them in earnest?
00:20:00We have eight days, Solange.
00:20:03I need a minute.
00:20:17McCulloch, status.
00:20:23Oxygen generator assembly got blown out.
00:20:26Backup components are online for now.
00:20:28Tollimetry review and hardware reboot
00:20:30will take some time.
00:20:31I'll have to reroute power?
00:20:34Yeah.
00:20:35It's just the air we breathe.
00:20:37But no, there's more.
00:20:39Complete water recovery system failure.
00:20:42Needs a new distillation assembly
00:20:44and fluid control pump.
00:20:46What about the backup water
00:20:47from contingency?
00:20:48Will that hold us for the time being?
00:20:51Uh, how many systems
00:20:53do you want to keep running?
00:20:55Drinking, hygiene, oxygen.
00:20:58How long until it's up?
00:21:01Uh, contingency tank
00:21:03should be on in 15.
00:21:05As for a full repair,
00:21:07I don't know.
00:21:08It's hard to tell yet.
00:21:09We may need some new replacement parts
00:21:10sent up to us.
00:21:12Use whatever you can
00:21:13in those storage modules.
00:21:15Resupply mission will take weeks.
00:21:16We don't have that kind of time.
00:21:18Oh, yeah, great.
00:21:19Can't wait.
00:21:30Hey, I just wanted to check on you.
00:21:34I just, I said I needed a minute.
00:21:39I think we could all use a timeout.
00:21:42Mercury's gone.
00:21:44And Venus is spiraling
00:21:45into orbital decay.
00:21:47Yeah, at least we know why.
00:21:50Unfortunately,
00:21:50you can't just give the sun
00:21:51a jump start like a machine.
00:21:53That would be a lot easier.
00:21:56So, any ideas?
00:21:59Uh, not yet.
00:22:00But we're gonna fix it.
00:22:03Yeah.
00:22:04We're gonna fix it.
00:22:13Solange, are you feeling better?
00:22:15Focus on the task at hand.
00:22:21Solange?
00:22:22A Dyson swarm.
00:22:23We build a mega structure
00:22:24of independently orbiting satellites.
00:22:27The data from the drones
00:22:28told us what was happening.
00:22:29Now, I wanna know how.
00:22:31What is causing the hydrogen
00:22:32to deplete so quickly,
00:22:33and how do we plug in the leak?
00:22:35Solange,
00:22:36what you're proposing
00:22:38will take months.
00:22:39I mean,
00:22:40there aren't enough
00:22:41operational satellites
00:22:42on Earth,
00:22:43or even above it,
00:22:45to accomplish this.
00:22:46We're not the only civilization
00:22:48that stands to lose it all
00:22:49once the sun dies out.
00:22:50You wanna make this
00:22:51an interplanetary operation?
00:22:53We have what we would need.
00:22:55Well,
00:22:55that poses
00:22:57three very difficult challenges.
00:23:00Available quantities,
00:23:01tech compatibilities,
00:23:02and the risk of sparking
00:23:03an interplanetary incident.
00:23:05We've been married
00:23:06for eight years.
00:23:07You don't think I know
00:23:07how your brain works by now?
00:23:10You know,
00:23:11that goes both ways.
00:23:12And, uh,
00:23:13I know what you're thinking, too.
00:23:14And, uh, Mars?
00:23:16It's a non-starter, okay?
00:23:18No signatory agency
00:23:20in the space charter
00:23:20is gonna go for that.
00:23:22Eric,
00:23:23there's a Martian science emissary
00:23:25approaching the station.
00:23:27What?
00:23:28For what purpose?
00:23:30That's what we've been wondering.
00:23:31It's asked to come
00:23:32aboard the station.
00:23:33And I think with their help,
00:23:35we could get a swarm
00:23:35up and running in days,
00:23:36not months.
00:23:38The war's over, Eric, I think.
00:23:40Now,
00:23:40the sun
00:23:41is becoming an enemy.
00:23:43No, no, no.
00:23:44That'll only fortify
00:23:45the argument
00:23:45against forming an alliance.
00:23:47Look,
00:23:48Mars could be using this
00:23:49to take advantage,
00:23:50uh, to strike again.
00:23:52Listen to your husband, Solange.
00:23:54He's telling the truth.
00:23:55ESA,
00:23:56the Jaxxer,
00:23:57NASA,
00:23:57Roscosmos,
00:23:58none of them
00:23:59will agree to coordinate
00:24:00with a Mars XRO.
00:24:01This is insane.
00:24:03What is happening right now
00:24:04was not supposed to happen
00:24:04for billions of years,
00:24:05and yet here we are.
00:24:06I have to believe
00:24:07that this situation
00:24:08is coming ground enough
00:24:09for us to work together.
00:24:10There are a lot of good people
00:24:12who aren't ready
00:24:12to forget about the war.
00:24:14That's right.
00:24:16I know I won't.
00:24:17And you damn well better believe
00:24:19I'm not the only one
00:24:19who feels that way.
00:24:23All right.
00:24:24If the Dyson swarm
00:24:25is the best solution,
00:24:26fine.
00:24:27But this needs
00:24:28to be handled
00:24:28with extreme caution.
00:24:32I'll call you back, Eric.
00:24:34I need to talk to you.
00:24:37In private.
00:24:38Mars mobilized for war
00:24:40against Earth.
00:24:42This E-Kluth
00:24:43is a Martian.
00:24:45Just like NASA,
00:24:46ESA,
00:24:47and JAXA
00:24:48are civilian agencies
00:24:49leading peaceful research,
00:24:52that the Mars RxO
00:24:53is maintaining
00:24:54the same mission.
00:24:56Solange,
00:24:57NASA's existence
00:24:58has long been tied
00:24:59to military
00:25:00and national security objectives.
00:25:02Mars XRO
00:25:03maintains that same mission
00:25:05as well.
00:25:06This crisis
00:25:07is the biggest
00:25:07existential challenge
00:25:08this whole system
00:25:09has ever had to face.
00:25:11We are a peaceful coalition.
00:25:14Why would a Martian
00:25:15come here
00:25:15for any other purpose?
00:25:17So you want to extend
00:25:18an invite
00:25:19to a Martian scientist
00:25:21to join an Earth expedition
00:25:23seven months
00:25:24after the war?
00:25:25The sun is dying.
00:25:27We don't know why.
00:25:28They have the tech
00:25:29that we need
00:25:30to figure out why
00:25:31and possibly stop it
00:25:31from happening.
00:25:32And you propose
00:25:33we do this how?
00:25:36You're the commander
00:25:37of the expedition.
00:25:38This is your authority.
00:25:42No.
00:25:44Not to this extent.
00:25:46The sun's core
00:25:47is destabilized.
00:25:49We...
00:25:49Our best shot
00:25:50is to get as much energy
00:25:52as we can from it
00:25:53with a Dyson Swarm
00:25:54and prepare a rescue plan.
00:25:56We don't have enough
00:25:57satellites on Earth
00:25:58to prepare
00:25:59a proper Dyson Swarm.
00:26:00We need theirs.
00:26:02If we combine them
00:26:03with Mars...
00:26:03Then what?
00:26:04You have to tell everyone.
00:26:06No, we have to tell everyone
00:26:08how we broke the law
00:26:09to develop this rescue plan
00:26:10and guess what?
00:26:11We go back to Earth,
00:26:13we go to jail,
00:26:15and we get blacklisted
00:26:16for good.
00:26:16If we don't do it,
00:26:18everything dies.
00:26:21I can't let that happen.
00:26:22If it means that
00:26:23everybody we love,
00:26:24if it means that
00:26:25Eric survives,
00:26:28then I'll gladly live
00:26:29with the consequences
00:26:30of my decision.
00:26:35It's not up to just us.
00:26:38There's six of us up here.
00:26:42I don't know how
00:26:43some of the crew
00:26:44are going to react
00:26:44to this idea.
00:26:46Okay.
00:26:57Well, personnel,
00:26:59report to Coppola Maduro.
00:27:13Eric,
00:27:14we granted their
00:27:15emissary permission
00:27:16to board.
00:27:16So, Lange,
00:27:17be very,
00:27:18very careful
00:27:19how you handle this.
00:27:21Now,
00:27:21has the rest of the crew
00:27:22been informed?
00:27:23Yes.
00:27:24They all know.
00:27:25And what was the tally?
00:27:27Well,
00:27:27Malfourie and McCulloch
00:27:29were both
00:27:30quite adamant
00:27:31in their disapproval
00:27:32of the plan.
00:27:36ISS to Zeger Yunus.
00:27:38This is Commander
00:27:39Lorraine Carter.
00:27:41Your request
00:27:42for assistance
00:27:42has been accepted.
00:27:44Permission to board.
00:27:46Granted.
00:27:47I've never met
00:27:48a Martian before.
00:27:50I only know
00:27:51what the media
00:27:52showed us.
00:27:55Comet footage,
00:27:5613 days and nights
00:27:57on all the networks.
00:27:58That's enough,
00:27:58Malfatti.
00:27:59I need you on task.
00:28:01Don't you presume
00:28:02to silence me, Commander.
00:28:04I will never
00:28:05forget the morning
00:28:06it started.
00:28:07The air raid sirens.
00:28:09I still hear them now.
00:28:11Cities burning,
00:28:12walls trembling
00:28:13when the missiles hit.
00:28:14Worst of it
00:28:15wasn't the shock
00:28:15of the explosion,
00:28:16but the silence after.
00:28:18Followed by horrific screaming.
00:28:20No.
00:28:21I have enough
00:28:23of you
00:28:23and her willingness
00:28:24to forget so easily.
00:28:30Truman,
00:28:31prepare the Halcyon module
00:28:32for arrival.
00:28:34Copy.
00:28:35Headed there now.
00:28:40Warning.
00:28:41Rewiring modular
00:28:42hatch mechanism
00:28:43is extremely dangerous
00:28:45and could cause
00:28:46depressurization
00:28:47of the module.
00:28:48Trained personnel
00:28:49only.
00:28:49Proceed with extreme
00:28:51caution.

00:30:01Zedra Yunus.
00:30:02Zedra Yunus,
00:30:03reduce thrust.
00:30:23Let the craft bat hit us.
00:30:25These are Yunus.
00:30:27Fear at me.
00:30:30Attention.
00:30:31Exterior threat detectives.
00:30:32Emergency modular isolation initiated.
00:30:35Containment lockdown.
00:30:36No, no, no, no, no.
00:30:37Hey!
00:30:39Nobody!
00:30:41Truman!
00:30:42Somebody!
00:30:44Somebody!
00:30:54Help!
00:30:57Red luster!
00:30:59It's...
00:30:59Billy!
00:31:00Save gas!
00:31:03Help!
00:31:04Help!
00:31:04Help!
00:31:16Truman!
00:31:17Truman,
00:31:18are you there?
00:31:20You should have hit the gas line.
00:31:25It's...
00:31:25for...
00:31:26the pressure...
00:31:27the pressure...
00:31:28you...
00:31:29it's...
00:31:30this is a corridor,
00:31:31not...
00:31:32a module.
00:31:32We should be able to...
00:31:34open this.
00:31:35May-
00:31:38solely for the government.
00:31:41What?
00:31:43well...
00:31:46never...
00:31:57you...
00:31:58not cop
00:31:58Oh, my God.
00:32:02Did the Martian craft just hit us?
00:32:04There was a docking procedure malfunctioning collision.
00:32:18It's me.
00:32:34Lay down your weapons.
00:32:36I mean you no harm.
00:32:39And we mean you no harm.
00:32:43So just come with us and no one will get hurt.
00:33:05All personnel, check in with your status and location.
00:33:08Hinata Kirill, Marina Malfatti, Copla, we're okay.
00:33:12We are nowhere near okay.
00:33:14That Martian is to blame for this Carter.
00:33:15Do you hear me?
00:33:17Power hasn't kicked in yet.
00:33:19We're still running on emergency backups.
00:33:25Carter, override the EMI already.
00:33:26I still have to finish fixing the oxygen generator assembly.
00:33:30That is, unless you want us all to suffocate up here.
00:33:33I can't do that.
00:33:35You know the EMI procedure as well as I do.
00:33:37A modular scan must be completed first or we risk a breach.
00:33:41Huh, procedure, huh?
00:33:42You know, if you would follow procedure,
00:33:44there wouldn't be a Martian craft colliding with us.
00:33:47McCulloch, we're gonna have a little talk after this is through.
00:34:03Have you come alone or are there more on the way?
00:34:07More assistance we weren't anticipating?
00:34:11As chief science emissary of the XRO,
00:34:14I was chosen to be the sole contact to your exposition.
00:34:18Only you.
00:34:20And why should I believe that?
00:34:22The decision was made because you are afraid.
00:34:25Because of our history of conflict.
00:34:30Do I look afraid to you?
00:34:32Then what have I done to warrant such antagonistic behavior?
00:34:36The death of my navigator.
00:34:38That was not my intention.
00:34:39The spacecraft suffered malfunction.
00:34:41You came here saying that you had a plan
00:34:43to prevent the destruction of our worlds.
00:34:46What do you know? What is the plan?
00:34:48The sun has already destroyed Mercury.
00:34:50The death of Venus is imminent.
00:34:52That's not true.
00:34:52We can stop Venus from being destroyed.
00:34:54Venus has already achieved terminal orbit
00:34:56and must be destroyed if Earth is to survive.
00:34:59Why?
00:35:00Steer the Earth away from the sun.
00:35:02Steer the Earth?
00:35:05How?
00:35:06Use the remnants of Mercury and Venus once destroyed.
00:35:09All of the pieces left behind in deep space.
00:35:12A gravitational tug would require such a mess
00:35:15that we do not have time together right now.
00:35:18If Venus is consumed by the sun,
00:35:20that puts Earth right next to be destroyed.
00:35:23A gravitational tug would slow Earth's orbital decay
00:35:26by pulling the planet backwards by more time.
00:35:30More time for what?
00:35:31To restart the sun's fusion process.
00:35:34Prevent it from dying.
00:35:37To save both of our worlds from destruction.
00:35:44You tried all of them?
00:35:48I typed in all the codes you gave me.
00:35:49None of them have worked.
00:35:51It was worth a shot.
00:35:53The entire station is on containment lockdown.
00:35:56And now all of us are in separate segments.
00:36:01Divide and conquer.
00:36:03Neither Carter nor Beck could see it coming.
00:36:07See what coming?
00:36:08A Martian aboard the ISS.
00:36:12After the 13 days of hell that planet put us through.
00:36:15Unconscionable.
00:36:15Now that it's here,
00:36:17we're on lockdown from a dock malfunction.
00:36:21Don't you find that...
00:36:23odd?
00:36:26I find the whole thing disgusting.
00:36:28Historic peace agreement between our worlds.
00:36:31First of its kind.
00:36:33Tell that to my brother Rory.
00:36:35Died defending our world against that alien scum.
00:36:38Now here we are.
00:36:40Last chance to protect Earth.
00:36:41And they've relinquished it to that enemy.
00:36:44What worries me...
00:36:47Why has this Martian...
00:36:49joined the mission?
00:36:50What's its agenda?
00:36:52Well...
00:36:52If it were me.
00:36:54I plan to commandeer the very thing that could...
00:36:56save my world and leave my enemy to die.
00:37:00First thing I'd do is lock up anybody standing in my way.
00:37:04Just like we are now.
00:37:07Venus and Earth perish.
00:37:10Kill all of us to save Mars.
00:37:15And they would've won the war.
00:37:18Yeah.
00:37:19The war that was over.
00:37:20Remember?
00:37:23Venus can be saved.
00:37:24We build a Dyson Swarm,
00:37:26we collect as much solar energy as possible,
00:37:29and we launch it straight back into the Sun to restart it.
00:37:31That would require hundreds of thousands
00:37:33of high-capacity energy-storing satellites.
00:37:36The number of high-capacity satellites on Earth
00:37:39or orbiting or ready to be launched is 161,500.
00:37:43The plan is impractical
00:37:44for the energy storage capacity necessary.
00:37:48Maybe for each of our planets.
00:37:50But if we combine our satellite inventories together,
00:37:53this could work.
00:37:56If you want to assist,
00:37:58our anti-planets launch up all of their satellites.
00:38:02If I do this, you will release me from detainment?
00:38:06Give us a reason to trust you first.
00:38:10Help us build.
00:38:14Space rockets and orbital vehicles from my planet
00:38:17have transportation capabilities of 2,240 to 2,730 satellites each.
00:38:23The MXRO can launch nearly 80,000 satellites.
00:38:30Release me from detainment.
00:38:33I will help you with the mission.
00:38:35Stand by.
00:38:36We'll discuss it.
00:38:40Nassau is likely aware that E-Kluf is on board.
00:38:42We'll have to discuss our actions face-to-face
00:38:44before they allow us to commandeer their satellite into orbit.
00:38:50This is Commander Lorraine Carter aboard ISS.
00:38:53Solange Beck, mission specialist.
00:38:56Ladies, let's proceed with the matter before us.
00:38:59A blatant violation of the space charter
00:39:02prohibiting Martian involvement in Expedition Fourth Quarter.
00:39:05Were you aware of the charter?
00:39:07Yes, ma'am.
00:39:08We were aware of the charter prohibiting Martian involvement
00:39:10aboard Expedition Fourth Quarter.
00:39:12So you chose to act unilaterally
00:39:15by willfully ignoring federal law.
00:39:17Miss Montez,
00:39:18we are on the precipice of a catastrophe.
00:39:21Now, I believe that this mission cannot be achieved
00:39:24without Martian involvement.
00:39:27Let me make you aware of something
00:39:28that you seem to be willfully ignoring.
00:39:31The sun is about to destroy Earth.
00:39:33We have eight days.
00:39:35If we don't do anything, none of this bullshit matters.
00:39:37So much.
00:39:37What matters?
00:39:38Do you want to know what matters?
00:39:39What really matters is that as Earth is approaching the sun,
00:39:42everything will fall apart.
00:39:44Blackouts, natural events you can't even imagine will happen.
00:39:47Everything will be destroyed.
00:39:48But sure.
00:39:48Play politics.
00:39:49Enact your silly little restrictions on us while we're here,
00:39:52trying to save your ass.
00:39:54Lorraine Carter, you are healed by a relief of command.
00:39:56Solange Beck, your flight status is removed.
00:39:58Both effective immediately.
00:40:00This matter will be referred to the DOJ.
00:40:02You are to return to Earth immediately.
00:40:04Come up here and get me.
00:40:12Well, that could have gone better.
00:40:14It was only going downhill from there.
00:40:17They wanted our discipline on record, so...
00:40:19There it is.
00:40:21Plus, nobody's coming here.
00:40:22It's gonna take them six days to get a warrant.
00:40:24Well, now we can expect access to NASA-owned launch facilities denied now.
00:40:28Can we hack in?
00:40:29Take them by force?
00:40:30Not with the limited time they have.
00:40:32Even with our access, they're very secure.
00:40:35So NASA is going to make things more difficult for us.
00:40:38Our own people are in our way.
00:40:44Okay.
00:40:49So NASA is not the only space agency in the world.
00:40:52Maybe the rest of the world will help.
00:40:54What do you mean?
00:40:56I mean, we can source our inventory from other countries.
00:40:59We can get them to launch their satellites into orbit for us.
00:41:02I can coordinate that with Eric and the ISCO observatory.
00:41:06It's worth a shot.
00:41:08Let's do it.
00:41:11Solange, what happened?
00:41:13NASA shut down all launch protocols.
00:41:15Forget about NASA.
00:41:16We can get Canada, Australia, Bahrain, Bulgaria, India,
00:41:21any other country that hasn't signed the charter yet.
00:41:23And just in time.
00:41:25We've detected a trajectory shift in Venus at 0.05 degrees.
00:41:30God, okay.
00:41:31Let me update the troops here.
00:41:35We're going to release you.
00:41:38I hope you hold up your end of the bargain.
00:41:42Ikluf, this mission depends on you.
00:41:45On us.
00:41:46Working together.
00:41:49Then let us work together.
00:41:51If you are prepared to trust me, I am willing to trust you.
00:41:54Then follow us up to the directional.
00:41:56All of our backup comms and station desks are located there.
00:42:09The modular scan is finished, but we have a problem.
00:42:13What? What's wrong?
00:42:14We can't override the system.
00:42:16The EME won't let us.
00:42:17We can't release the hatch door as well.
00:42:19The blister is locked off.
00:42:20It's probably due to the power loss.
00:42:22McCulloch is still working on the oxygen water systems.
00:42:28Warning.
00:42:30Oxygen levels critical less than 47 hours remaining.
00:42:35Water levels critical less than 47 hours remaining.
00:42:40If possible.
00:42:41So launch.
00:42:42I was able to coordinate space agencies from around the world.
00:42:45Satellites inbound.
00:43:01Satellites have begun collecting solar energy from the sun.
00:43:04The Dyson swarm is shipping up.
00:43:06Ikluf, we need your inventory right now.
00:43:08We don't have nearly enough satellites yet.
00:43:10And if we waste too much time, we're going to lose what little we have.
00:43:27Commander Carter, inventory launch underway and on approach to accelerating velocity with the sun.
00:43:32Solar radiation levels have elevated.
00:43:35Maintain safe orbit.
00:43:36Understood.
00:43:41Solar flare is continuing to intensify.
00:43:44Hinata, run the trajectory estimate for this new angular deviation.
00:43:55First phase.
00:43:57Staggered orbital coordinates.
00:43:59Online.
00:44:02Autonomous collision avoidance initiated.
00:44:09It's working.
00:44:11The Dyson swarm is collecting more energy, higher quota per units.
00:44:16We're capturing the sun's energy.
00:44:29Solar energy.
00:44:30Solar energy storage quota per units nearing optimization, but we need more satellites to fortify this swarm.
00:44:34Hear you?
00:44:36Update on the decay models from Venus?
00:44:41Orbital decay, tidal drought, and atmospheric expansion have all steadily increased.
00:44:47Get a hold of NASA to warn them.
00:44:54NASA's not replying.
00:44:56I hope they're seeing what we're seeing.
00:44:59There's another problem.
00:45:00At this rate, the Mars launch trajectories have only 12 minutes before they reach Apogee,
00:45:05before Venus begins to shed early stage surface material.
00:45:09Solange, did you hear that?
00:45:12We've exhausted all available satellite spikeage from Earth.
00:45:15Solange.
00:45:16Kata.
00:45:17Sun's surface velocity spiked again.
00:45:28The numbers are decreasing.
00:45:32Large numbers of the satellites have been lost this time.
00:45:35QPU rates are dropping significantly.
00:45:43Okay.
00:45:44Call back as many as you can.
00:45:45Send retreat signals to all the remaining satellites.
00:45:51QPU realign all units from orbit now.
00:45:54Get as many as you can out of there.
00:45:55What is it?
00:45:56It's happening faster than our estimates.
00:45:58Increased atmospheric expansion right now.
00:46:02Calling all personnel.
00:46:04Find shelter in your isolated modules now.
00:46:07The planet Venus is approaching the solar death zone and it's not going to survive it.
00:46:11Radiation levels will spike soon.
00:46:14Come on.
00:46:16Shoot.
00:46:21Ah.
00:46:44Radiation knocked out the main controls.
00:46:47We see life support, navigation combs, we lost all of it.
00:46:50It's so dark.
00:46:51Don't worry.
00:46:53With the levels of radiation we're just exposed to it won't take long until we start glowing in the dark.
00:46:58That's not funny.
00:47:00No, I wasn't trying to be.
00:47:01That's a genuine concern.
00:47:03Come on.
00:47:04You must find a PDU.
00:47:07No, this is bad.
00:47:09Come on.
00:47:11Come on.
00:47:13Come on.
00:47:16Carter, do you read me?
00:47:18Carter, do you read?
00:47:22Malfani, it's McCulloch, do you read me?
00:47:24I don't know.
00:47:30Solange, do you copy?
00:47:33Solange, do you copy?
00:47:43Okay.
00:47:47You can do this.
00:47:49Alright.
00:47:50Okay.
00:47:56We need to get out of this module.
00:48:00Our commander still hasn't triggered the override.
00:48:02Very suspect if you ask me.
00:48:05Well, why is it suspect?
00:48:07Divide and conqueror.
00:48:08Carter allows a Martian aboard off the station and look what happened since its arrival.
00:48:12You think that's some kind of coincidence?
00:48:13Maybe the Martian wants to take over the station.
00:48:16Separates from one another so we can't fight back.
00:48:18For all we know, Solange and Carter might be dead already and we are next.
00:48:22I hear you, Malfani.
00:48:24Do you read me?
00:48:25We have the power back up in Halcyon.
00:48:26Are you there?
00:48:28We read you.
00:48:29We will reset the power in Coppola.
00:48:38Does anybody have eyes on McCulloch?
00:48:40Hasn't reported in yet.
00:48:42He's still repairing the oxygen water systems.
00:48:45Solange, race Houston on comms.
00:48:47Let them know we're back online after losing station power.
00:48:49Copy that.
00:48:50But I have to reach Eric.
00:48:56Solange, is everyone up there alright?
00:48:58Eric, I was trying to reach you in NASA.
00:49:00Are you okay?
00:49:02Earth is being pummeled by super flares from the sun.
00:49:05XRO is tracking the sun's mass.
00:49:07Earth has sustained extraordinary levels of solar activity.
00:49:11But there have been previous incidents?
00:49:14Similar incidents of this classification have occurred prior to the loss of Mercury.
00:49:18And another in what is considered three weeks and four days prior to that incident in Earth time.
00:49:23That's when I was traveling up here to join the expedition.
00:49:25They're increasing in size and frequency.
00:49:28And now that Venus has been lost, all space agencies, foreign and domestic, are detecting shifts in Earth's elliptical orbit.
00:49:57Solange caught her with Venus destroyed.
00:50:05And its mass consumed by the sun.
00:50:09The solar death zone has expanded even further.
00:50:16The Earth has started to demonstrate.
00:50:23Marked orbital decay.
00:50:25And now we have only 48 hours.
00:50:32Until sun consumes the planet.
00:50:41Did Carter finally override the EMI?
00:50:47Whoo!
00:50:48Alright, now we're talking.
00:50:52Oxygen levels critical less than 38 hours remaining.
00:50:57Water levels critical less than 38 hours remaining.
00:51:00You've got to be kidding me.
00:51:07Damn it!
00:51:17Oxygen and water levels are both at under 38 hours.
00:51:21What?
00:51:22Those were repaired.
00:51:23They weren't.
00:51:25Now we can't.
00:51:27That solar flare?
00:51:29Bricked the batteries and the routing system.
00:51:32Even if I could reroute the power source,
00:51:36we'd run out of oxygen before we could get it back online.
00:51:39Venus is lost.
00:51:41Solar death zone has expanded.
00:51:44But the surface velocity levels are lower.
00:51:54Surface velocity rates are lower?
00:51:56That would mean that the sun has started to stabilize.
00:52:01Wait, what are you saying?
00:52:03That consuming Venus actually triggered the sun's fusion process?
00:52:07It appears so, but it's not complete yet.
00:52:10Well...
00:52:11What is it that we need to do?
00:52:13What's holding us back?
00:52:14Look at it.
00:52:16Ugly as sin.
00:52:18Makes me sick just looking at him then.
00:52:21It's a cruel joke.
00:52:23It's to laugh.
00:52:25That thing probably doesn't even know how.
00:52:28A motionless, heartless mutant.
00:52:32Besides mass, what do Mercury and Venus both hold in some amount?
00:52:36That's vital to trigger the sun's core.
00:52:38It would have to be helium-3.
00:52:40Both Mercury and Venus have it.
00:52:42She's correct.
00:52:43Helium-3.
00:52:47Solange demonstrated incredible forethought in calling back the satellites from the swarm as Venus was being consumed by the sun.
00:52:53If the possibility exists to gather a sufficient amount of helium-3...
00:52:58The solar energy that we gathered with the Dyson swarm.
00:53:01Combine that with enough of a concentration of helium-3, that's enough to restart the fusion.
00:53:06We would have to penetrate the chromosphere deep enough.
00:53:09But solar energy and helium-3 together combined, that's- that signifier trigger-
00:53:13Okay, no, no, no, stop!
00:53:16Now the only viable way to source helium-3 is the moon.
00:53:22Affirmative, Commander.
00:53:24What hardware do we have on the station to gather helium-3?
00:53:27Quest module has a full set of regolith spikes with mining drones for collecting lab samples.
00:53:33Regolith spikes?
00:53:36Only the drones are autonomous, and those won't work unless we set the spikes first.
00:53:42Manually.
00:53:43The station can be maneuvered within maximum safe distance to reach the moon with a small manned craft.
00:53:53I need a volunteer-
00:53:54My life support systems are designed to withstand harsh conditions in space for a limited amount of time.
00:54:00Planting regular spikes is a two-man job. I will go with him.
00:54:06We're not far from the moon.
00:54:09But we can't use Halcyon module as dock.
00:54:13We'll use a secondary launch pad.
00:54:16From Quest module.
00:54:24Can you move your arms?
00:54:29Rotate your shoulders.
00:54:36Hinata.
00:54:40Hinata, hey.
00:54:44I don't know how much-
00:54:46I don't know how much longer I can do this.
00:54:49Hinata, what are you talking about?
00:54:51I want to go back down there.
00:54:55Down to Earth.
00:54:58If we're all going to perish right here.
00:55:02I want to die with my loved ones around me.
00:55:05We're not going to die.
00:55:06We have left in three days.
00:55:09Hinata, I need you, okay?
00:55:11I need you right now.
00:55:12I need you.
00:55:12I need you right now.
00:55:13I need you, okay?
00:55:14I need you.
00:55:17I need you.
00:55:19I need you.
00:55:20I need you.
00:55:22Give me your hand.
00:55:25Beck.
00:55:27You and Carter.
00:55:29Put us all in danger.
00:55:31By letting that thing on board here.
00:55:34Don't trust.
00:55:36Thing.
00:55:37It says.
00:55:38Or does while you're out there.
00:55:40Let's plan on taking us out one by one.
00:55:43You're giving it the perfect chance.
00:55:45Let go of me, McCulloch.
00:55:47You have no idea what that thing is capable of.
00:55:51Let go of me.
00:55:53Listen.
00:55:54I'm sorry your brother died.
00:55:56But you cannot accuse Equif of doing anything on the station.
00:55:59It's irresponsible.
00:56:01If that thing comes back here alone,
00:56:05I'll kill it.
00:56:06Personally.
00:56:09Back down, McCulloch.
00:56:12Don't say I didn't worry you.
00:56:18So much.
00:56:21Just be careful out there.
00:56:23Yeah.
00:56:37Airlock hatch ready to disengage.
00:56:45Quest, this is even one.
00:56:46Do you read?
00:56:47We got your Eva one.
00:56:49Eva one and Eva two.
00:56:50Confirm you have a visual on the moon.
00:56:51Confirm visual quest.
00:56:53Confirm visual quest.
00:57:00Nothing will ever beat this view.
00:57:02Look at that.
00:57:04It's breathtaking.
00:57:07The Arokh Valley of the Helios Planitia on my planet.
00:57:11You have never seen such splendor.
00:57:21Formed Station.
00:57:22No, cover in the position.
00:57:24Target for Helium-3 extraction in range.
00:57:27Make a thorough penetration.
00:57:29Spikes will not be effective unless driven deep enough.
00:57:32Drones will not collect enough Helium-3.
00:57:34Copy that.
00:57:36Spike one, launch.
00:57:40Spide 2, Lund.
00:57:42Activate 4 sequence and drone link.
00:57:48Eva 1 to Quest.
00:57:51Check my O2 levels in my suit.
00:57:55Eva 1 to Quest.
00:57:57Come in.
00:57:59Solange, your O2 tank is depleting too fast.
00:58:01Freeding regulator should be critical malfunction.
00:58:03My supply...
00:58:05malfunction.
00:58:07Ah.
00:58:09Three spikes remain.
00:58:11It is imperative that we drive in all regular spikes.
00:58:17Eva, O2 levels.
00:58:20How much time?
00:58:22Solange, you have approximately five minutes of oxygen remaining.
00:58:26That's it.
00:58:27Abort, mission, and report to Quest module.
00:58:31Solange, come in.
00:58:32I repeat, abort, mission, and report to Quest module.
00:58:45Quest to Eva 1.
00:58:47Do you read over?
00:58:50Eva 1?
00:58:52Eva 1, do you copy?
00:58:56Solange.
00:58:59Quest to Eva 2.
00:59:02I-Kluf, do you copy?
00:59:10McCulloch, I need you to the blister.
00:59:11We've got a problem.
00:59:16What's going on?
00:59:17Solange, I can't erase either of them on comms.
00:59:20Solange tank is depleting, and now they don't respond.
00:59:24She's got three minutes.
00:59:26She's got three minutes.
00:59:26Solange, I need you to return to Quest now.
00:59:30You've got three minutes.
00:59:40Heart rate elevated.
00:59:42Respiratory uneven.
00:59:44Her temperature is increasing.
00:59:45Get a location on her now.
00:59:49Looks like she's on her way back to the station.
00:59:52When approached, get ready to open that airlock.
00:59:54Look, I have two drones on our approach to the station as well.
00:59:59Looks like they planted regular spikes,
01:00:01and the drones are fully functional.
01:00:04The spikes are gathered in 3M3.
01:00:14Eva 2 to Quest, open airlock hatch immediately.
01:00:17Eva 2 to Quest, open airlock hatch.
01:00:19Wait, why is he responding?
01:00:22Lost the launch.
01:00:24Let's go.
01:00:50Oxygen levels equalizing.
01:00:55You! You're killing me!
01:01:11Solange!
01:01:15She stopped breathing.
01:01:24Come on, Solange!
01:01:29Dammit, Solange! Come on!
01:01:35Solange! Solange!
01:01:37Are you all right?
01:01:44It could have saved my life.
01:01:49Your radiation levels are extremely high out there.
01:01:52Probably stop the translation.
01:01:58The drones.
01:01:59Two of them are returning back.
01:02:01They're not here yet.
01:02:03We detected their approach, but nothing arrived yet.
01:02:07Signal interference becoming disruptive and unreliable.
01:02:11They should have been here already.
01:02:12We're running out of time to build a mass artificial reignition yield,
01:02:15and the rising radiation levels are gonna wreak havoc on rerouting the remaining satellites.
01:02:26I cannot establish a clear signal to helium-3 drones.
01:02:29They're all moving wildly, of course.
01:02:31Swarm signal at low signal.
01:02:33Okay, I'll contact Eric.
01:02:34Let him know that we have an issue with the signal.
01:02:36Maybe he can help us with Ice Cube Observatory.
01:02:39Ice Cube?
01:02:41Ice Cube Observatory on Earth's south pole?
01:02:43Yes, that's where Eric is stationed.
01:02:47Eric, the Superflare radiation has been bombarding the station.
01:02:50Our comms and systems are failing.
01:02:52If we maneuver an array, can you send up a patch to help strengthen the system?
01:02:56We're running out of time here.
01:02:59I'm sorry, but I do not understand.
01:03:01But I am still learning.
01:03:02Let's try and repeat your query.
01:03:06What?
01:03:07Eric, what did you say?
01:03:10Please repeat your query.
01:03:12I am still learning.
01:03:14Let's try your query again.
01:03:17Ice Cube Observatory is destroyed.
01:03:24When I was traveling up here, to this station.
01:03:30Solange, let me explain.
01:03:35Eric is dead.
01:03:37Solange.
01:03:39Eric is dead?
01:03:42My husband is dead?
01:03:44And you didn't tell me?
01:03:59None of you, he told me!
01:04:03You let me believe he was alive this whole time!
01:04:08This whole time!
01:04:10I couldn't tell you until after the expedition was finished.
01:04:15I couldn't put any stress on you or anyone else on the crew.
01:04:19So you lied to me!
01:04:21With a neuromorphic ghost of Eric!
01:04:24The AI has been made up of NASA and space agency algorithms!
01:04:28The data has been relevant and useful!
01:04:49Kiryu, what happened to the Nero?
01:04:52The radiation from solar flares could have corrupted the neural network memory, triggering logic errors in the processors.
01:05:00The damn thing has cracked the bed on us!
01:05:02Where the heck is the Martian going?
01:05:17The human concept of grief calls for condolence.
01:05:29I offer you mine.
01:05:35It was believed on Earth that it was your lack of grief, or guilt for that matter, that made us
01:05:47think of you as such a threat in the war.
01:05:52Every life form has an instinct to survive at all costs, to serve their common agenda.
01:06:02Humans, it seems, have devolved away from that.
01:06:07It's called empathy.
01:06:11When you gave me your condolence, that was sympathy.
01:06:17Empathy, guilt, grief, all human emotion.
01:06:24Maybe it's a weakness, maybe it's a strength, I don't know.
01:06:30Trust is another one.
01:06:32Really hard to restore once it's broken.
01:06:34Trust is not exclusive to Earth.
01:06:37We value it as earned, not gifted.
01:06:44That's why it's so hard to restore it once it's broken.
01:06:47I trust you.
01:06:50The Earth is very close to the solar death zone.
01:06:53My home is not long after.
01:06:56If we are going to stop this cataclysm, then we must put aside all of the past.
01:07:04You're the only one I trust now.
01:07:08The others, half of them did not want you there, and the others did lie to me.
01:07:19Quite the pair, you and I, huh?
01:07:24The signal is at full strength.
01:07:27Then let's finish building the mass artificial re-ignition yield.
01:07:30Let's get those Dyson satellites back into the fight.
01:07:33Now that we have the Helium-3.
01:07:51Such a tiny portion to fill the center of the galaxy.
01:07:55It baffles the mind.
01:07:57Think of it like C-4 explosives.
01:08:00This is merely the detonator.
01:08:03By itself, it's pretty harmless.
01:08:06But combined with solar energy...
01:08:10Potent enough to restart the sun.
01:08:34The signal just increased.
01:08:36I've made contact with the drones.
01:08:37All six carrying full tanks.
01:08:38The swarm satellites are back on line tail.
01:08:40So, finish building the package.
01:08:42Most of the satellites are yours.
01:08:44Affirmative.
01:08:45Earth's inventory will not be compatible on this mission.
01:08:47Solar winds and radiation levels are starting to peak.
01:08:50The window's closing.
01:08:51If we don't make it past safe distance, the package won't trigger the restart.
01:08:54Include, proceed.
01:08:56Initiating interlocking procedure.
01:09:09Interlocking procedure is acceptable.
01:09:11Package is prepared for fueling.
01:09:12Malfari, did you make contact with the regular drones?
01:09:15Affirmative.
01:09:15All six are hot.
01:09:16Send them in.
01:09:33Water weather is getting worse.
01:09:35It'll be a rough time getting across a death stone at this rate.
01:09:37Radiation levels are getting higher.
01:09:40Iron materials can survive hotter temperatures than the Earth.
01:09:42But the heat from the sun will destroy the Meri cluster regardless.
01:09:45And it requires being placed past the chromosphere to trigger reaction.
01:09:48Then pull it back.
01:09:52But the sun is dying out too fast.
01:09:54The Meri cluster is the only chance we have.
01:09:56If we lose that, we lose everything.
01:09:58This is our best chance.
01:10:00I'm not gambling the last piece of hardware we've got left.
01:10:03If the sun fusion process stalls fully, it will be almost impossible to restart.
01:10:07We have to strike now.
01:10:09Pull back.
01:10:09We'll never make it through the ejecta.
01:10:11Stay the course.
01:10:12Solange, stand down.
01:10:14You owe me.
01:10:15For Eric.
01:10:16You want me clear-headed?
01:10:17Stay the course.
01:10:19Equal, pull back.
01:10:20That's an order.
01:10:20Equal, don't do it.
01:10:22It is an order!
01:10:48The sun has entered terminal destabilization.
01:10:52Carter?
01:10:55What have you done?
01:10:57We missed the window.
01:10:59I...
01:11:01I had to protect the Meri cluster.
01:11:03Carter!
01:11:03Our only chance of stopping this?
01:11:06And it's lost.
01:11:11Oxygen levels critical less than one hour remaining.
01:11:16Water levels critical less than one hour remaining.
01:11:21The station will be uninhabitable.
01:11:25Outer layers of the sun are already dying out now.
01:11:29And the Earth will be next.
01:11:51The sun's heat is dying.
01:11:53We need to detonate the Meri cluster via backup remote.
01:11:56The Meri cluster is too far now for remote detonation with present radiation levels.
01:12:00Then we need to be able to jump start it manually.
01:12:03The only option remains to detonate the Meri cluster through impact.
01:12:09Impact?
01:12:10What do you mean impact?
01:12:12The Meri cluster contains volatile solar energy and helium-3 gases.
01:12:16A direct collision impact would be enough to trigger detonation.
01:12:20And that's the only option?
01:12:22But if the cluster passes the Chromosphere after it's triggered it, that would be a suicide mission.
01:12:30The force of the blast would be enough to kill whomever took on the task of triggering the Meri cluster.
01:12:35Provided those individuals survive the initial impact.
01:12:40Ikluf, the Meri cluster is made of only Martian satellites, right?
01:12:45Affirmative.
01:12:48Then we need to collide with the cluster to trigger detonation.
01:12:55I'll go.
01:12:56No, I'm going.
01:12:57Hey, look.
01:12:58If anything goes wrong out there, I'm our best chance we have at fixing it.
01:13:04So I'll go.
01:13:05Satellite requires three onboard to function under manual operation.
01:13:11Navigation, flight control engineer.
01:13:15And I'm taking that son of a bitch with me.
01:13:17I will be aboard regardless.
01:13:21McCulloch, you're in no position to make any decisions with this.
01:13:24My brother gave his life to save our planet, alright?
01:13:28Now I'm ready to do the same.
01:13:32But if I can take just one Martian with me when I go, well, it'll be worth it.
01:13:39For Rory.
01:13:40McCulloch, stop.
01:13:41I find the term Martian offensive and will insist that you not use it again in my presence.
01:13:46I am a Cruintan.
01:13:47I give my life for the glory of Cruintas.
01:13:50All else remains secondary.
01:13:52I will not have the two of you at each other's throats.
01:13:54If you three insist on going, then I'll stay with the others and make sure you have the fastest route
01:13:59to the sun.
01:14:01Kyrieu Malfatti, we are going to need you to stay here and monitor spatial and environmental variables to keep the
01:14:08satellite out of harm's way.
01:14:10You're guiding the vessel towards the collision point.
01:14:13Keep tracking CME forecasts.
01:14:16Well, put us in our suits and let's get this over with.
01:14:19Let's do it.
01:14:25If this fails, everyone and everything dies.
01:14:29Your brother would not have wanted that.
01:14:32The world owes you a great debt of gratitude and you will not be forgotten.
01:14:37But if you muck this up over some petty excuse for revenge and doom this mission-
01:14:41Ease up, Beck.
01:14:43I'd rather die in the vacuum of space than slowly suffocate to death.
01:14:48Listening to you lecture me on right and wrong, I won't let my brother down.
01:14:55And I sure as hell won't let this mission fail.
01:14:59Okay.
01:15:17Trajectory received.
01:15:19Hey.
01:15:19I'm driving.
01:15:21Don't touch the radio.
01:15:23We call it to get easy.
01:15:25I want all this done by the book.
01:15:28Yes, ma'am.
01:15:29So are we going or not, we're losing the sun.
01:15:34We're good.
01:15:42ISS to SAT.
01:15:44Guiding cluster towards the Chromosphere.
01:15:45Solange, continue your present course at ascension eight minutes and 47 seconds.
01:15:50Concentrated remnant fields at 47 degrees starboard.
01:15:52Adjust your maneuver accordingly.
01:15:54Copy that, Malfatti.
01:15:56Trajectory.
01:15:57Trajectory adjustments entering the thrust system.
01:15:59Acknowledged.
01:16:00Targeting for married cluster engaged.
01:16:03Follow my mark.
01:16:09You know what's about to happen.
01:16:12It has no effect on you.
01:16:15Sons of bitches are as cold blooded as they come.
01:16:18I feel like I'm warning you.
01:16:20If we miss the target, it's over.
01:16:23You cannot possibly imagine how I feel in this moment.
01:16:28Maria?
01:16:29Why is that?
01:16:31Your kind believes in an afterlife.
01:16:36Eric always believed that there was a place waiting for us after we die.
01:16:42And I'll see you there soon.
01:16:48Eternal awards await you in a place you call...
01:16:53Heaven?
01:16:56My brother believes that.
01:16:58I don't.
01:17:00You and I have something in common.
01:17:03My culture has no such belief system.
01:17:07And so?
01:17:09Where do you go when you die?
01:17:18We are about to be incinerated by the sun.
01:17:24That is where we will both be when we die.
01:17:52Aren't you okay?
01:17:53Yeah, I just let go of the rain.
01:18:00Let's go...
01:18:08Let's go.
01:18:12Let's go.
01:18:29The sun's core is showing further destabilization past the Chromosphere now.
01:18:33Solange, you're out of time.
01:18:35The Mary Cluster has to cross the Chromosphere in 15 seconds.
01:18:38McCulloch, Mary Cluster is at demarcation 115.
01:18:44Get that trajectory in getting tight.
01:18:47McCulloch, full throttle until we break through the Chromosphere.
01:18:53The testing radiation and energy building.
01:18:55It's accelerated faster than we've anticipated.
01:18:58How long until core death?
01:18:5920 seconds.
01:19:00No 17.
01:19:01Just get it past the Chromosphere.
01:19:04Counting down.
01:19:0514.
01:19:0713.
01:19:0912.
01:19:1111.
01:19:1310.
01:19:15McCulloch, you're on track.
01:19:16Keep that trajectory.
01:19:179.
01:19:188.
01:19:207.
01:19:216.
01:19:235.
01:19:244.
01:19:263.
01:19:282.
01:19:301.
01:19:315.
01:19:322.
01:19:341.
01:19:382.
01:19:422.
01:19:423.
01:19:443.
01:19:443.
01:19:462.
01:19:463.
01:19:483.
01:19:492.
01:19:531.
01:19:541.
01:20:14The fusion restart is successful.
01:20:21The sun has regenerated its core with the Mary cluster.
01:20:31They did it.
01:20:39Solange.
01:20:43I'm so sorry.
01:20:48I should have told you about Erica.
01:20:55So sorry.
01:20:57Twenty minutes.
01:21:00What?
01:21:01We ran out of oxygen.
01:21:06In twenty.
01:21:19Do you hear that?
01:21:21I-Clyph, I-S.
01:21:24Open the airlock.
01:21:45It-I mean, I-Clyph saved my life.
01:21:52What happened out there?
01:21:53The satellite was at full propulsion.
01:21:56Core's trajectory locked in on approach.
01:22:00The pod ejected the satellite before impact.
01:22:03Crazy son of a bitch grabbed me and just ejected us out of the satellite.
01:22:08I thought I was gonna die.
01:22:14I-Clyph.
01:22:20Solange.
01:22:23Twenty minutes until oxygen lost.
01:22:26Then it will be very tough to breathe up here.
01:22:31Let's get back to Earth.
01:22:35Initiate return pod vehicle detachment.
01:22:37Yes, men.
01:22:38On it.
01:22:40You coming?
01:22:42NASA already knows that you're here.
01:22:44There will be a parade and accolades.
01:22:46And I think you should be there.
01:22:48You deserve it.
01:22:49I agree, I-Clyph.
01:22:51Come with us to Earth.
01:22:53You're as much of a hero as anyone else on this station.
01:23:00All right.
01:23:02All personnel, report to Liberty Module for return shuttles to Earth.
01:23:18Well?
01:23:20You coming?
01:23:25I've always wanted to see the sunrise from Earth.
01:24:03The sunset amp has been in the sunset.
01:24:06Now live and out for the sunset.
01:24:06I'm taking care of a beat, I'm going toë.
01:24:07Cheers.
01:24:07Cheers.
01:24:08Is that a event?
