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?
11 minutes.
Are you telling us that we can't jump
until 11 minutes before we burn?
I'm telling you we have 11 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 lunar mining operation.
They must be evacuating.
Sweetie, track that.
Attention. Transport ship has locked on
to our communication signal.
Prepare for intercept.
Suit up.
No response from pilot.
Transport ship is on automatic approach.
You OK?
Sure.
When you said you'd been in worse
situations, were you telling the truth?
Sure. When the ship was falling
and the engines cut out, that was worse.
We'll be fine.
Warning. Fire on board approaching
vessel. It must dock immediately.
Approaching vessel,
engage docking thrusters.
Repeat, please engage docking thrusters.
Can't spare the fuel for a hover.
We'll catch her on a roll.
Speed still increasing.
Excessive rate of approach.
Sterilisation bay?
- Check.
- We're taking a little hit when it docks.
Thanks for letting us know.
15 seconds to impact.
- Still no reply from approaching ship.
- He's running silent.
Or unconscious.
- Watch out!
- Clear!
We got a fire!
Get his helmet off! Check his vital signs.
This is your worst nightmare?
It's not Karl.
Bridge. One patient, male, early 20s,
traumatised, unconscious but stable.
And this isn't the person
who sent the call.
Run that by me one more time.
This isn't Karl Larson.
Meet me on the bridge when you can.
Benjamin, start a full
systems check on the ship.
Right, sir.
There's some kind of
growth on his bone structure.
These matrices. It looks almost as if
his bones are strengthening themselves.
Radiation explosion.
No, much too normal for that.
Note it as a minor anomaly.
Most scanners wouldn't even detect it.
Doctor.
No indication for treatment at this time.
He's as healthy as a horse.
Keep him under observation.
- Why didn't you tell me before?
- It was personal.
- Nothing that affects safety is personal.
- So I know a man who calls Trans Soma.
He didn't call Trans Soma. He called
the Nightingale. It was a direct call.
- Tell me what's going on.
- I can't.
I can't because I don't know.
I know a Karl James Larson,
but this isn't him.
He had a son. I saw a photoscan of him.
There's a strong resemblance.
I'd guess it's him, but I can't say for sure.
I haven't seen Karl for five years.
When he and I were finished,
I couldn't have children.
I joined Trans Soma
to get away from him.
Now, is there anything else
that you need to know?
He was the Hazen addict.
How long was I out for?
About 20 minutes.
- How do you feel?
-
