That device has been

restricted for...

Long duration research

missions only

I'll speak to him about it.

Why does he do this?

He's been through a lot

I don't blame him.

It's the only place he

can see her now.

Earth shipping control to

unidentified...

Vessel in sector seven,

please respond.

We have you on our scanner,

you must reduce speed now.

Unidentified vessel

please contact shipping.

Since the birth of human

civilization, man has striven.

Thanks to the gift of science

we received from the sun gods.

As they were described then.

Mysterious, and powerful.

Just the briefest of contact

with them...

Propelled our scientific

understanding forward milennia.

They returned to the stars.

Thousands of years passed.

We spread out to claim the

resources of the solar.

Soon humanity discovered how

to harness the.

But inevitably, this

knowledge was used...

To develop a terrible weapon,

capable of destroying all

life on a planet.

We had brought a new danger to

the galaxy,

a risk to our

civilization, and others.

But our activities have not

gone unnoticed.

One of those weapons

still exists,

complete, but dormant.

What's going on Meryl?

I do not understand.

Why the power shortages?

Why the malfunctions?

Why can't

I get to the core decks?

We have a powerful cargo.

We have minerals for earth.

You know there is more,

I have an important mission.

What is death, Rupert?

I err, you must know the answer

to that one

I do not understand.

You must understand

you can remember.

Not fully.

My memories are fragmented,

I can only half understand what

death is.

Death is when there's nothing,

absolutely nothing.

It's black, silence

I do not understand.

A death wish, that's what I'd

call it.

A ship with a death wish,

it's not good for the crew.

Communications failure,

attempting to relink, wait.

Communications failure,

attempting to relink, wait.

Communications failure,

attempting to relink, wait.

Ah, sh*t!

Come on!

Oh, sh*t!

What are you doing Rupert?

I just thought I'd fix this

before we die from.

Okay.

Is everything alright?

Yeah yeah I'm fine why?

Have you

noticed anything unusual?

No, no I haven't, why?

I think I found the problem with

the radio.

What sort of problem?

Shh!

She'll hear you

what sort of problem?

I mean the radio, there

was nothing wrong with it

I checked it the day before,

and Meryl said there was nothing

wrong with it.

What are you talking about?

I think it's Finch

I'm not sure, I can't

get into the transponder

it can't be, I was with

him on the command deck.

It must be, he must have got

her to cut the power!

Are you sure you're not
