its gravitational field

will wreak havoc.

Extreme tides,

electrical disturbances at a minimum.

Well, our primary concern at this point

has gotta be the political fallout.

Put our defense systems

on high alert.

I've also had Michelle working

to get in touch with the Nautilus,

but we haven't had

any success.

Nautilus is the least

of our concerns at this point.

But they were right there.

If the Nautilus

did manage to pull through,

they may be able

to fill in the blanks.

Fine, but you keep

James Preston out of it.

Yes, sir.

We are continuing

to receive some frantic reports

of massive power failures

around the world.

Global communications

continue to be affected,

as most satellites

seem to be off-line.

All air transportation

is being grounded until further notice.

We'll continue to bring you

details as they develop.

Oh man.

I've normalized our oxygen levels,

but most of our systems are damaged.

Communication is down,

as is navigation.

Right.

What the hell hit us?

It seemed like a solar flare,

but it was massive.

All of the energy readings

are wrong.

Well, we'll have to worry

about that later.

Right now we've got

bigger problems.

I've managed

to stabilize us.

Do what you can with communication.

I'll work on navigation.

Okay.

We need to figure out

where the hell we are.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Check it out.

A little Sumatra blend.

You want some?

I need you to take a look

at this, okay?

It's about Victoria.

Something happened up there

and I need to know how

it's gonna affect the Nautilus.

Well, it was a massive solar flare

that hit us this morning.

Biggest one on record,

but the Nautilus should be prepared

- for that kind of event.

- It's not a solar flare.

Okay, look.

Its magnetic signature,

it's off the charts.

Oh, my God.

Are you okay?

Yeah, just a headache.

Any luck on the comm?

Well, we'll only be able

to transmit

and receive

on a very narrow band.

But they'll be able

to hear us?

If they're listening.

Power blackouts.

Communication failures.

Airplanes grounded.

The government wants you

to think it's a solar flare,

but we are here

to give you the truth.

Brooke Adamson's

"Conspiracy Report" is back on the air.

Nice.

What's wrong?

No, it's just, uh,

getting some interference.

- It's not us.

- It's the Feds.

- It's not the Feds.

- It's the Feds.

This is

Victoria Preston of the USS Nautilus

making an emergency

distress call.

Can anybody read?

No way.

What?

This is Victoria Preston

on the USS Nautilus. Come in.

Isn't the Nautilus the spacecraft

that's on the Mercury mission?

- Yeah, yeah.

- Well, it's gotta be a joke.

Well, we'll find out.
