accelerating!
Berkshire to Valley Forge!
I have an emergency ignition
on Valley Forge!
Reading Red-990!
I get a 2-4 on Valley Forge
reading red!
Valley Forge to Berkshire.
I've got an emergency!
Neal? Can you read me, Neal?
I read you.
I got a main bus blowout
on numbers three, eight
and ten panels,
I've got a premature detonation
on Dome Number Two...
and I've got an explosion
in the main cargo deck!
Please advise me immediately!
I read you.
Put on Wolf, Lowell.
No, no, change that.
Give me Barker.
I can't find Barker!
I can't find Wolf or Keenan either!
I'm afraid, Neal, that they might
have been in Dome Number Two!
God, Dome Two just blew up.
Stand by.
Report Wolf, Keenan and Barker
accidentally jettisoned from Valley Forge.
Wolf, Keenan and Barker missing.
What the hell is taking so long?
Coming up now, Valley Forge.
Lowell, this is Anderson.
How are you, boy?
I'm okay.
Listen, Lowell,
if you continue as is,
we figure you'll hit the northeastern
quadrant of Saturn's outer rings...
at 0302 tomorrow morning.
What does that mean?
Well, we don't think
you'll make it through.
It's a very bad angle.
These ships weren't built
to shoot the rapids.
The plan is to find where the explosion
chopped the main bus and reroute it.
You'll have to do some cutting.
Where do I start?
Uh, we tracked a bunch of cargo modules, probably off your starboard side.
So we figure maybe one of the cryotanks
under the floor cut loose.
It may have exposed the main bus duct,
if we're lucky.
I'll take a look at it.
Drone Number One.
This will stop 'em.
I need you guys
to help me fix my leg.
From now on,
you guys are working for me.
Here's a little
medical program.
Drone One, Drone Two,
Drone Three,
please report immediately
to surgery.
Drone Number Two...
you'll perform the operation.
And Drone Number Three,
you'll handle the oxygen anesthesia.
Drone Number One--
Number One...
you'll assist.
Commander Anderson?
I can't get anywhere near
that main bus duct.
Everything is just
all torn up down there.
Uh, listen, Freeman--
That's your first name, right?
Yes.
Any family, Freeman?
No, sir.
Well, listen, Freeman, you've been with
this project since the start,
and you've known the risks.
Yes, sir.
I-- I don't really know
how to say this, Freeman.
It's all right, sir.
We've got some trouble.
I figured.
Yes, um--
I'm really sorry, Freeman.
Sorry, sir?
About what?
We'll never be able to stop you
before you hit the rings.
I see.
Freeman, you might want to consider--
Suicide, sir?
No...
I just don't think that I'd ever be
able to do anything like that.
The best we can do then is send out a search party the long way around,
but it's kind of like a needle in a
hay stack, ifyou know what I mean.
Yes.
Freeman?
Yes, sir?
God bless you, Freeman.
You're a hell of an American.
Thank you, sir.
I think I am.
Drone Number Three!
Drone Number Three, keep moving!
Follow One and Two!
Follow One and Two!
Why didn't you follow them?
Now dig a hole for him.
Make it seven feet long
and three feet wide.
Okay, now put him--
Put him down in it.
And then remain there 'cause
I would like to say something...
before you cover him over.
Uh...
I...
I would like to be able
to say a... a prayer...
but I-I don't...
really know how to say it.
Wolf and Barker and Keenan.
They weren't exactly my friends,
but I did like them.
And, uh--
Well--
I don't-- I don't think...
that I'll ever be able to...
excuse what it is that I did,
but I had to do it.
And...
I guess that's all
that I have to say.
You can cover him over now.
Boys--
I'd like to make an announcement.
Um...
from now on...
Drone Number Two,
you will answer to the name of Huey.
And Drone Number One...
you will answer to the name of Dewey.
Little Louie, God bless him, he's--
He's not with us anymore.
Huey... you take one step forward.
That's super.
Now, Dewey, you also
take one step
