First we'll lock on her signal.

Here.

Um...

copy that, Nautilus.

You're breaking up.

- Do you read?

- Copy that.

This is Victoria Preston on

the Nautilus. We are in distress.

Before we proceed,

please encrypt

this transmission using

security protocol 27-46-32.

- What are you doing?

- If it's a hoax, they'll play along.

- How can you be so sure?

- Because that's what I would do.

There's no such protocol.

Who exactly am I speaking with?

Give me that.

This is Christopher Weaver

and Brooke Adamson.

We're seniors

at North Bay University.

You've managed to connect

with our pirate radio station.

Victoria, do you copy that?

Come in.

- What happened?

- We gotta get that signal back.

Let's go to the car.

We'll try new batteries.

Before my telescope went off-line,

I was able to pull these images.

Look at these sun-spots.

They're starting to disappear here,

and here, here, and here.

- What does that mean?

- Magnetism.

It all makes sense now.

For one brief millisecond,

our humble little sun

became a magnetar,

the most powerful source

of magnetic energy in the universe.

A magnetar?

Yeah, it's extremely rare,

but it's the only thing

that could explain it.

The sun-spots, the blackouts,

the magnetic wave, everything.

What was that?

Whoa.

This should not be happening.

There's no way our database

could have missed

this many meteors

approaching Earth.

Buddy,

either you're wrong

or that's not a meteor.

That impact site can't be

more than a mile or two, tops.

Let's take my car. I don't want

to have to ride on your handlebars.

Very funny.

- Get in the car.

- I enjoy riding my bike to work.

- It's something that I like to do.

- Get in the car.

Uh, this is not good.

Do you know

where we are yet?

No.

But we're accelerating

without engine power.

Well, you check autopilot and see

if there's been any false commands

and I'll see what I can do.

Yes, ma'am.

Wow.

Something's definitely wrong.

- There's still no signal.

- I don't know.

Do you think that

was really the Nautilus?

Yeah, I do.

I do.

Whoa!

- What the hell was that?

- I don't know,

but there's more coming.

Get in the car.

Get in the car!

James?

Run. Run!

Get down!

Oh, boy.

Is it over?

I think so.

What the hell happened?

Whoa.

Navigation systems initializing.

Flight path compromised.

Marshall, I've checked everything.

I can't find anything wrong.

Get up here.

I need your help with navigation.

We need to figure out

where we're headed now.

- And we are back up.

Plotting Nautilus location.

Wait, this can't be right.

- What is it?

We're not where we should be.

Neither is Mercury.

How is that possible?

I don't know. It's out of orbit.
