- Can you confirm?

- Negative, Mission, that number is 10.

Drone 172 was lost last night.

109 is combat-ready as soon

as we get that shielding.

We can cover the remaining

rigs with drones in the field.

I've run the numbers.

We'll do the numbers up here,

Tower.

I'm tasking the drones

to defensive positions.

Our job is to run those rigs. Your

directive is to protect them.

We cannot afford to lose another.

Do you copy?

- Are you and Jack an effective team?

- Damn right we are.

Jack?

You're right on top of it.

Do you have a visual?

Jack?

Yeah, I got it.

They have some kind

of a repeater.

The scavs are using

the building as an antenna.

Can you decrypt?

It's a set of coordinates.

Grid 17.

It's a goddamn homing beacon.

Grid 17.

What the hell is out there?

Nothing.

It's the middle of nowhere.

What is going on?

Why would the scavs send

a signal off-planet, Jack?

I'm shutting it down.

Tech-49, check your course. You're

headed right for the border.

That radiation will cook you from

the inside before you know it.

It's okay, Vika. I see it.

I'm gonna do a perimeter check

before I head home.

I may go off-comm.

Jack,

we should keep in contact.

Just let me know where you are.

Do you COPY?

Jack, do you copy?

That's right, Bob.

You know where we're going.

Are you gonna miss me?

I'm gonna miss this place.

It would have been great.

It would have been great.

JACK:
-Vika? Vika, did you get that?

VICTORIA:
-Jack, where have you been?

- An object came down in 17.

- That's the beacon coordinates.

Exactly.

I saw it. - Some sort of vessel.

- Jack, Mission's almost offline.

I'm en route now.

Mission, we have an unidentified

object impact in 17.

It came down at coordinates

sent by a scav beacon.

- My tech's en route now.

- Tower, we're going offline soon,...

...but drones are already

mobile and executing.

Have your tech stand down.

Jack, Mission wants you to stand down.

The drones will handle it.

JACK:
That's a negative, Tower.

With Tet offline,

we need our eyes on this.

I want to know

this site is secure.

Sally, my tech's concerned about

the security of the site.

Tower, you have lost

enough assets for today.

Keep your tech out of there.

Do you copy?

Copy, Command, I'm...

Jack, Command wants you to stand down.

The drones will handle this.

JACK:
I'm on site.

Jack.

I don't have eyes on you.

Command's offline.

Vika, I think it's one of ours.

This thing is ancient.

It looks...

pre-war.

The scavs brought

this thing down, Jack.

There's no sign of scavs.

Technician,

this is your Control.

I'm ordering you to pull out and

return to the tower immediately.

Touching down.

They're human.
