Space Pirate Captain Harlock Page #3

Commencing descent.

We're ready to configure the oscillator.

Watch your time on the suits.

The air on this planet is highly corrosive.

These suits will last an hour, tops.

Let's make this quick.

Don't stare at them too much.

Nobody can figure out why they do that.

Apparently, there was a biologist who tried...

And?

He went mad in the process.

I'm feeling a little mad myself.

That's why we need a fresh start.

A fresh start?

Humans have searched the universe for so long...

but there was nothing that could replace Earth.

Now, we all just want to go home.

But the Gaia Communion made Earth a restricted sanctuary,

so there's no home for us to return to.

Nothing we can do...a mass pilgrimage would ruin Earth for good.

But we all know the human race is an endangered species.

If we're going extinct...

Don't we deserve to spend our final hours at home?

We do have one option though...

Reverse time, to an age when humankind inhabited Earth.

And how would you do that?

By unraveling the Nodes of Time, and winding back the clock.

The Nodes of Time?

There are points, throughout the universe,

which hold the seams of time together.

By unraveling the shackles of causality,

space-time is no longer bound by linearity.

But for all this to work, we have to locate each of the nodes,

and loosen them with a high-energy blast.

A blast using the dimensional oscillators.

We've planted 98 oscillators across the universe,

and we have 2 to go.

Detonate them all at the same time,

and the Nodes of Time will unravel.

Well, that's the captain's theory, anyway.

That's some theory...

I don't know.

Starting all over from scratch?

Couldn't that end up destroying everything?

I trust the captain.

Whatever happens, it can't be worse than dying out here.

We've got to try something.

What was that just now?

Our crew didn't detect any earthquake activity.

What's going on?

That's not solid ground.

They've set foot on a Muldauwd worm!

Sh*t!

Are you okay?

Yeah, I think so...

Let go of me!

Are you stupid? Do you want to die?

I can't leave him behind!

Corrosive gas clouds are gonna blow any minute!

But I can't just leave him!

It's too late...

No...

Captain...

They're all dying!

These too...why?

That was the best we could do, Logan.

But it's what Mother wanted!

To see these flowers from Earth to bloom again on Mars!

Logan. Stop, the system is already overloaded!

Ezra!

Ezra!

Don't!

Don't come any closer...

I was...just...

I was...just...

Please, Ezra, I'll do anything!

There has to be something I can...

Be my legs.

Walk for me.

Run for me.

Fight for me.

That will be...

My atonement.

Captain!

There's a cloud of corrosive gas coming your way...
