AE: Apocalypse Earth Page #2

---

answer your question.

Whatever caused the ship to crash happened

before I was scheduled to awaken.

However, once I was functional I began

recording all ship's telemetry.

Really? Just before the crash I saw something, triangular.

It looked like a space ship.

Yes. I believe I can provide range

and bearing to that target.

But exactly what it is, I'm

afraid I can't say.

Then we have a plan. That ship

could be our ticket home.

We left earth for a reason. The

aliens were exterminating us!

What do you think these

aliens are doing?

We'll find that ship and get

back to earth.

We've got to get away from here

as far away as possible.

Right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, well you're the one with

the gun.

So how long were you prisoners?

More like Lab rats. But about 2

years.

That's not possible.

I saw the newton leave on TV a

month ago.

I lost counted of the days

around 490.

I was sick for a while. And that

was a while ago.

All relative.

How long does a concussion

last?

I believe Captain Crowe may be

less impaired than he seems.

He may be trying to convey that

the elapsed time disparity is due

to the effects of Einstein's

theory of special relativity.

I always hated physics.

Sargent, let's scout at 6. make

sure we are not growing a tail.

So you're fine flying back to

earth just to get killed?

I didn't say that. Did I?

If there is a ship. There's gonna

be a place on this planet where

there are no chameleon

things are.

Like an island or something.

Yeah. But what if we can't

change their mind?

Then it's a good thing I'm a

pilot.

Perimeter.

What the hell was that?

Let's go find out.

Sargent! With me.

Are you ok?

Stay in a circle.

Fan out.

Where she go?

It's ok. It's alright. We won't

hurt you.

It's ok. It's ok.

She looks almost human. How is

that possible?

We don't know much about them. And the

cages, they use to huddle together

when they weren't being used for

slave labor, or for experiments.

But I've never seen one like her

before.

It's alright.

Tastes... like... crap.

Frank.

I'm Lea.

You're ok.

Where'd they go?

Where did they go?

What the hell is that?

Her name is Lea.

How do you know her name?

I... said it... to him.

The humanoids in the zoo never

spoke. How do you know English?

I learned... from you.

From him?

From all of you. From jungle... I listen

you in damn cages. You talk a lot.

She was spying on you.

We never saw her.

Can't imagine why. Best damn

camouflage I've ever saw.

Except for the Chameleons.

Yeah. We'd better get going.

No wait where's Honda?

Not a trace.

The Captain needs rest. And

food.

Alright, who's got food.

This is it.

Food. Food everywhere. I show
