s still operational?
Yeah, it's another C-1 1 . No problem.
If I go down, I'll need a full layout.
I wanna know what the hell
I'm walking into.
You think there are more survivors?
I don't know. If there are, I want to know
about them before they know about me.
So, is this Nick always like that?
He really likes to swing it around, huh?
Pretty intense
for an ambulance ship captain.
We lost our captain in the jump.
Nick had to take over.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say
anything bad about him.
You two aren't...?
No. No, but...
Nick and Doctor Evers!
You know,
your eyes are pretty.
Really? Thanks.
I guess everybody needs
a little romance now and then, huh?
- Shuttle. You there?
- Yeah. What is it?
Listen, I found
something.
- You betterget down here.
- On my way.
Yerzy?
Let me tell you somethin'.
Whatever it is,
it's the most amazing thing
any of us is ever gonna see.
You've played around
with this thing, haven't you?
Now, why would I do something like that?
Robotic link engaged.
Transporing possible
biohazard to quarantine.
Of course I didn't tell you.
I'm a treasure hunter.
There's two parts to that job -
finding it and keeping it.
And keeping it's a lot harder!
I intercepted a stray transmission
three years ago.
Ice miners.
They'd dug something up
on a rogue moon.
I didn't know what it was,
but I didn't need to.
Just knowing where was enough. Frozen.
In the middle of a rogue moon.
I knew whatever they'd found
was a lot older than that moon.
So I did the research, grabbed
some of my friends, and we went hunting.
And then I found the Titan 37.
There were no signs of the miners,
no signs of anything.
My friends blamed me
and they took my ship.
I stayed on, took my time,
searching every inch
and then searching again.
And then I found the treasure.
And now there's nothing to stop us.
- Us?
- Yeah, us.
You know how much
the government'll pay for this?
Who knows what new technologies
it could lead to?
We'll all be in on it.
If you guys help me out here,
I'll cut you in for five per cent.
- Each.
- Five per cent each, huh?
How about we give you that?
I found it last.
Am I missing something?
We don't even know what it is.
It's either human-made or it's not.
It's not man-made.
It was buried in an ice moon.
Look, there's no question. This is it.
Primary contact.
- It's been a dream for thousands of years.
- Exactly.
I'm not sure we shouldn't
blow it out the closest airlock.
Do you have any idea
what you're saying?
I'm saying I don't know what it is,
and nothing you've said indicates you do.
Maybe it is an alien artefact,
maybe it's a magic trick.
Maybe it's a distillation of knowledge,
maybe it's just a toy - an alien child's toy.
Or an alien sex object. It looks like it...
Or maybe it was so dangerous that the
only way to get rid of it was to bury it.
Maybe.
It has no business being on this ship.
- It's harmless.
- You had contact with it.
- And you have abnormal bone growth.
- I've had that my whole life!
We don't have uplink. We can't confirm it.
Scan it and log it on record. When we
get to clear space we tag it and float it.
- I think you're making a big mistake.
- Oh, yeah?
Do you want to clarify that?
I'm offering you
the opportunity of a lifetime
and you're passing it up.
- For all of us.
- For all of us?
Your "opportunity"
has cost us our captain,
endangered this crew
and wasted critical time.
All this for some delusional belief
that you'll get rich.
There's no opportunity.
And there is no "us"!
It stays in sealed quarantine
till we get to clear space.
I want a rescue return transport
on the shuttle.
- Think you'll need that?
- I don't know.
But the distress signal from the mine was
cut short, it came in under a false name,
and our friend didn't bother to attach
a hazard warning to his distress signal.
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's just
a kid trying to make some dough.
If that's how it is, I'll
