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 ofapproach. 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'tthe 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 anyfhing else that you need to know? He was the Hazen addict. How long was I out for? About 20 minutes. - How do you feel? - Better than that transport. That fire really finished it off! How embarrassing. I'm Troy. Danika. I'm sorry. You're very pretty. I haven't been around a girl in a while. Let me go get you some clothes. - We've only got five DSUs left. - And there's only five of us. We have a patient on board. There's six of us! We jump as scheduled. I'll stay behind, take my chances. - You won't have one. - Call a rescue craft once you've jumped. I'll be pretty far down in orbit by the time they get here. - No, you'll be dead. I'm not goin' for this! - It's your job to go for this. Marley would be asking you to do the same. - I'm not going. - You want me to pull rank, I will. Fine. That's an order. I'm Doctor Evers. How are you feeling? Happy to be here. There's no one else down on Titan? Not even close. That whole place is like a ghost ship. The distress call came from Karl Larson. Yeah. That's my dad. Was my dad. He died three years ago. Aneurysm. Real sudden. Sorry. Don't be. I'm not. He's probably one of the worst people that ever lived. I'm sure you'd agree on that. I tried to stay as far away from him as possible. But I went to see him when he was dying. He said that if I ever got into trouble that you were the person to call. I guess that's the best advice he ever gave me. - You seem to have made out OK. - Yeah. Seems like you did too. This is just some vitamins. You know, up until the end, when he said that I should call you if I needed help, he said he was sorry he didn't change his ways while you were with him. Because now he'd never get a chance to make it up to you. He said that's what he regretted most. This is Nick Vanzant, our captain. This is Troy. He's Karl ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Реальная любовь на английском - текст Банзай, режиссёр! на английском - текст Отныне и во веки веков на английском - текст Родители на английском - текст Ключ от спальни на английском |
