on the Tiger Claw, sir. Is she with him? Lieutenant Commander Deveraux is on board. Taggart is requesting an emergency medical team... to meet him on the flight deck. I think you're on the wrong ship, Lieutenant. Baker Two, requesting permission to land. Welcome back, Lieutenant Blair. You're clear to land. Yeah! Baby, you made it! Not bad for the second best pilot in the academy. Where's Angel? She just came in. Get the medical team on the double! It's pure luck I found her. She turned off her beacon... not to tip off the Kilrathi. She's brave. I'll go and get the medic. Come on, girl. Angel, come on, wake up, girl. Wake up. Hey, don't you die on me. Come on. They're coming, they're coming. Hang on. What did you say? I said don't you die on me. Yeah? Suggestion or an order? That's definitely an order. We should get her to sick bay.JOHN F. KENNEDY: Many years ago... the great British explorer George Mallory... who was to die on Mount Everest... was asked why did he want to climb it. He said, "Because it is there." Well, space is there, and we're going to climb it. And the moon and the planets are there. And new hopes for knowledge and peace are there. And, therefore, as we set sail... we ask God's blessing... on the most hazardous and dangerous... and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked. Thank you. I hereby declare this new world... a colony of the Terran Confederation. With the charting of the fourth pulsar this year... the Pilgrim explorers are becoming a discussion point. We are gathered here to celebrate Dr. Peter Anthony. His invention of the Navcom A.I. is possibly the most important development in space travel... of the last century. Finally, we can navigate almost any jump... in known space with confidence. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Dr. Peter Anthony. Coming up on the far side... Looks like maybe three or four kilometers long. Copy that, Sparrow. Proceed. It's like nothing I've ever seen before. Wait. Something's going on here. With escalating tension in the Vega sector... the whole Confederation is on a knife edge. Will these unprovoked attacks continue? Will the diplomatic probes be successful? We can only hope... I regret to report... that all diplomatic avenues with the Kilrathi... have been exhausted. It is now clear they have no interest... in coexisting with us or any other race. It is my sad duty to inform you... that as of 6 a.m. this morning... we are formally at war with the Kilrathi. God help us all. T.C.S. Vanguard now clearing outer marker. Course four-six-niner, logged for the Charybdis quasar. Ready to receive Navcom coordinates for the jump. Roger that. Transmitting now. Have a safe trip back to Earth. Freighter Delta. Losing elevator-effect thrust. Request trajectory. T.C.S. McClellan requesting flyby. I got one-nine-zero bogies inbound. Vector three-seven-four, attack formation. Status! Forty Kilrathi ships coming to bear, Admiral. They're powering weapons. The Iowa's gone! And the Kobi. We have a station breach! Levels seven, eleven, and thirteen. They're headed towards command and control! Destroy the Navcom A.I. Now. Self-destruct malfunction. Command codes have been overwritten. Station breach, level six. Station breach, level two. Command center breach imminent. Prepare a drone. Get me a coded channel. This is Admiral Wilson... Pegasus station commanding officer. Forty Kilrathi capital ships are closing. Station has been breached. They want the Navcom. Repeat--they want the Navcom. The station has been breached. They want the Navcom. Repeat--they want the Navcom. The Pegasus Navcom. My God, if they have it... What's the fleet's position? We're spread out all over the sector. The earliest our advanced elements can reach Sol... is forty-two hours... and that is taking risks with the jumps, sir.
