The Last Scout Page #6

I know Right.

That's cold comfort for someone

who couldn't make the choice

seven years ago.

She's had seven years more

of life this way

than she would have had

otherwise.

- What life?

- How can you say that?

She's got more goodness

in that little finger,

than you've got

in your entire body.

Well, that goodness

is going to wither

on the vine and turn into dust-

- Hey! Just, Gerry, what...?

- What are...?

- Why do you always...?

- Hey, hey, hey. Listen. Listen.

As long as we have a mission,

guys, we have hope.

Okay? There's no reason

to believe this planet

is not the right one.

Okay?

It's in the habitable zone.

Edward, all of your long range

scans have been encouraging,

haven't they?

So far.

A little bit of elaboration.

Yeah, can you give us more here?

Well, long range scans

haven't shown anything,

not habitable,

but it's still a longshot.

We won't know until I send down

the probe.

Statistically though,

it's unlikely that ours

or any of the other ships

are going to succeed.

And what the hell?

We can cultivate our own food

and we've got water recyc.

We just turn this ship around

and head back

and we will survive.

I want to get back to work.

Until the oxygen breaks down...

I'm repairing those

right now, Edward.

And then we slowly

suffocate to death.

This is him being encouraging?

This is him being Edward.

I'm just saying

that's the situation.

And I'm just saying

reign in the negativity.

We've still got our job to do.

In fact, your job just became

the most important.

She's got a point, Edward.

Once we get there,

I'm going to need you

all over the telemetry.

We only got one probe.

Looks like

you finally became useful.

F*** you.

Can I have seconds now?

I'd better get back

to the bridge.

Pegasus is probably getting

bored flying herself.

- I'll go.

- I thought you wanted more food.

No, I'm done.

I'm not hungry anymore.

Guys, we're almost there.

You know, I do wonder though

about the Utah.

And how many are the ships

that have been lost.

It must have happened to some.

I just hope that it wasn't

to ones that were on their way

to a habitable world.

Someone does find something.

It's seven years back.

God knows how many heading

to where the new world is.

- Hayley.

- What's up, sweetheart?

Can I watch a movie tonight

with Pete?

Not tonight.

We've got a big day tomorrow,

so I need you to get

some proper sleep.

And no one

is sneaking around the ship.

You know, Gerry gets grumpy

if we wake him up.

Oh, all right.

That's it. I'm gone.

Please, always

know, always remember...

I love you more than anything

in existence...

I know you feel the same.

I will always be with you.
