over will be richly rewarded.

Some say passage

off world, even.

Sooner or later, someone

will turn you in.

Divide and conquer.

We can't just give up.

No one's giving up.

No one.

But we can risk ourselves

showing in the sectors now.

But if we stick to the plan,

soon the people will understand.

I brought this for you.

I have no need of books.

It's more than

a book, read it.

Talks of your people.

Why're you helping me?

What do you want?

I don't want anything,

I just thought...

That I'd be grateful?

More than grateful?

All right, I'll

leave, I'm sorry.

I apologize.

No, wait.

It is I who am sorry.

You've shown me

nothing but kindness

and I have no

reason to doubt you.

I understand that it must be

hard for you to trust anyone.

When you've lived as I have,

trust can get you killed.

(dramatic music)

So this is the

history of Sarnia?

Well,

I can't make much of it out,

but it speaks of

myth and legend.

It's all so distant to me now.

I remember running

through the leaves,

the blue butterflies.

It was beautiful.

But not fit for humans.

How so?

Gravity.

Two and half times that

of any other planet.

That's why you're so hard

to kill, so fast, so strong.

And what is this flower?

Ah, they're very very rare.

It says they have

restorative powers

that they can bring

life from death.

Myth and legend indeed.

When a thing is dead it's dead.

Perhaps.

I must go.

You're a healer, yet you

also repair these things.

The Section Commander often

says she enjoys dichotomy.

I'm one of her little jokes,

as you, last of the Sarnians.

Her life hanging by a

thread that she holds.

I'm going to

kill her, you know.

I know.

(dramatic music)

And that, ladies

and gentlemen,

is why you should

always pay your taxes.

(angry yelling)

I'm just telling you how it is!

For our next bout

two women warriors from

opposite ends of the system

both worlds famed for

their skilled arms.

Up first, the fearsome Freya.

As her opponent, ladies and

gentlemen, and certain filth,

I give you Azura.

(audience clapping and cheering)

[Woman In Audience]

Fight fight fight fight!

(thudding)

(grunting and groaning)

(audience clapping and cheering)

(metal clinking)

Freya was brave.

She fought well.

Despite what these animals

want you should spare her.

Come now, it's about

education, Peltarion.

(dramatic music)

(audience cheering and clapping)

You risk yourself, daughter.

You need these supplies,

and there's no risk,

it's as black as

pitch out there.

[Ibu] How are things?

We've got something

big planned.

We're nearly finished

building a...

Don't tell me, I

don't want to know.

If I don't know, I

can't lie if I'm asked.
