Terra Page #2

---

...a planet of plenty...

...but not without its limits.

Eventually, humans exhausted...

...their world's natural resources.

Two neighboring planets...

Mars and Venus...

...were terraformed.

Colonies were established.

Two centuries later, the colonies

demanded independence.

It meant war.

War.

All three planets were destroyed.

Everything was destroyed.

The survivors had only one choice:

...to travel beyond their solar system...

...to the nearest life-supporting planet

they could find.

The journey lasted several generations

and led them here.

They named this planet Terra.

Your home?

You made this? For me?

balance in the focal points.

This is really good.

Where did you learn to do this?

All I did was put the pieces together.

They felt right.

You're a natural.

Stabilizing gears fractured!

You can...

Help me repair the ship...

...and I'll take you to your father.

Deal?

According to my holographic blueprint, this

device meets all required specifications...

...for space travel, approximately.

Well, it's not exactly titanium...

...but if this thing holds...

I can go home.

Remember, we have a deal.

What is this?

The Ceremony of Life.

We thank life for what it brings.

Even if it brings you war?

Earth Force recruited me when I was eight.

They recruit every kid on the Ark.

Intensive training, hand-to-hand combat...

...flight simulation.

Be prepared, always on the ready.

The best, the finest,

the last line of defense.

You wouldn't understand.

You only know peace.

Senn.

- What are you...

- I had to see you.

You've locked yourself up for a week.

What's going on?

- Huh?

- Look, I know how you must feel.

- But I miss you.

- I miss you, too.

I just... I need a little time.

Please go.

Mala, the Ceremony of Life started.

Are we still going together?

What's that noise?

- Did you make a new toy for Tuki?

- Senn, wait.

I knew you were working on something.

- Mala, run!

- Stop! Stop! You're killing him!

- I'll take him...

- No!

I'm okay now.

- Please, listen.

- It's one of them!

- I know.

- What? You know?

- We can't let him go.

- He's my friend!

- He'll betray us.

- That's enough!

Mala, what... what have you done?

He said he would save my father.

Senn.

Senn!

She protected us, Giddy.

She defended us against her own kind.

"She"?

You said "she," not "it. "

We have to go.

He'll be back... with company.

- What's wrong, Senn?

- It's Mala.

It's Mala.

She's protecting one of them.

There's one of those invaders

in her house.

They were just here.

Did she build that?

I believe she did.

Search the home.

Find them.

Hey, all clear.

The elders say a long time ago...

...we were apart from nature.
