persecond.
Time to impact?
49 seconds.
- Recommend alternatives?
- Assessment...
Sweetie, get us out of here!
- The hatch is gonna open!
- The controls aren't responding!
- Alternatives, Sweetie!
- Unacceptable risk factor on all options.
- It's opening!
- Cut the power!
Now, dammit!
- It's not working!
- Close the hatch!
- Engage docking thrusters.
- Thrusters insuffiicient to escape...
Overriding computer. Going manual.
No! We need Sweetie!
What are you doing?
Buying us some time!
Firing docking thrusters.
Kill me.
Please.
- How d'you know how much fuel to use?
- I'm guessing.
- I can't keep it shut much longer.
- Don't kill him!
Please.
Don't kill him.
Oh, God.
Clean this place up.
- Sweetie.
- Do you need me back now, Nick?
The dimension drive must recharge
in order to escape high solargravity fiield.
- Time to recharge?
- 17 hours,
one minute.
- Flashpoint time based on fuel reserve?
- Solarincineration
in 17 hours, 12 minutes.
That leaves you
an 11-minute window, Nick.
Maintain orbit, six-second thrusts,
15-minute intervals.
I will maintain orbit.
Start broadcasting ID and position,
all coordinates.
See if you can contact the Titan.
This is Trans Soma rescue vessel
Nightingale 229 hailing TSMO Titan 37.
Captain Marley?
This is Trans Soma
medical rescue vessel Nightingale 229
hailing Trans Soma
mining operation Titan 37.
Repeat: this is Trans Soma
medical rescue vessel
Nightingale 229 hailing Trans Soma
mining operation Titan 37.
Oh. Did I wake you?
I thought you might be reading or...
Anyway, I managed to bring on board
a fairly good bottle of pear brandy,
and I thought,
in the spirit of friendship,
maybe we could share a glass.
It's...
- It's all right. We'll...
- Lemme see the bottle.
How do you think they get that in there?
They put the bottles on the branches
so that the buds are inside
and the pears grow right in them.
Then, when they're ripe,
they pick the bottles,
pour in the brandy and...
Of course, the real question is
how the hell you get it out.
Rook to E7.
Congratulations, Benjamin.
Your strategy was
both subtle and forceful.
You can play with me wheneveryou want.
Permission to have a child?
I've been trying to get it ever since
you told me you wanted a kid.
What if they only approve one of us?
Two fine, non-genetically engineered
specimens like us? Are you kidding?
We're gonna get approved.
And then we're gonna make us a baby.
- Bridge.
- Check.
Nick, I think there's something
you oughta see.
Then there's this.
- DSU four. The vents weren't modulating.
- That's what killed Marley.
- A warning was going before we jumped.
- You mean he saw that too?
- He had to.
- So he took my DSU.
- Why didn't he cancel the jump?
- He thought it was an acceptable risk.
He should have transferred
the call to another vessel.
Then Marley would be alive
and you'd be playing chess with Sweetie.
And what if they never crucified Christ?
But they did.
And Marley's gone and here we are
and that's how it is.
We've got what we've got.
All crew, report to bridge.
Now that you've all had some rest,
here's what we've got.
We were hit in our main tank when
we jumped into this high-gravity field.
We lost most of our fuel.
The good news is we've got enough left
for our docking thrusters.
They'll stop us incinerating
till the dimension drive recharges.
Then we can dimension-jump home -
but we'll be cutting it close.
How close?
1 1 minutes.
Are you telling us that we can't jump
until 1 1 minutes before we burn?
I'm telling you we have 1 1 minutes.
It's enough.
I've gotten out of worse situations before.
This ship is going to be fine.
- We have no margin for error!
- Then we won't make any.
Attention.
L-class transport ship departing
Titan lunarmining operation.
They must be evacuating.
Sweetie, track that.
Attention. Transport ship has locked on
to our communication signal.
Prepare for intercept.
Suit up.
