Many years ago...
George Mallory...
who was to die
on Mount Everest...
was asked
why did he want to climb it.
He said, "Because it is there".
Well, space is there,
And the moon
and the planets are there.
And new hopes for knowledge
and peace are there.
And, therefore,
as we set sail...
we ask God's blessing...
on the most hazardous
and dangerous...
and greatest adventure
on which man has ever embarked.
Thank you.
I hereby declare
this new world...
a colony
of the Terran Confederation.
With the charting of
the fourth pulsar this year...
becoming a discussion point.
We are gathered here
to celebrate Dr. Peter Anthony.
His invention of the Navcom A.I.
is possibly the most important
development in space travel...
of the last century.
Finally, we can navigate
almost any jump...
in known space with confidence.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I give you Dr. Peter Anthony.
Coming up on the far side...
Looks like maybe
three orfour kilometers long.
Copy that, Sparrow. Proceed.
It's like nothing
I've ever seen before.
Wait. Something's going on here.
With escalating
tension in the Vega sector...
the whole Confederation
is on a knife edge.
Will these unprovoked attacks
continue?
Will the diplomatic probes
be successful?
We can only hope...
I regret to report...
that all diplomatic avenues
with the Kilrathi...
have been exhausted.
It is now clear
they have no interest...
in coexisting with us
or any other race.
It is my sad duty
to inform you...
that as of Six A.M.
this morning...
we are formally at war
with the Kilrathi.
God help us all.
T.C.S. Vanguard
Course four-six-niner, logged
for the Charybdis quasar.
Ready to receive Navcom
coordinates for the jump.
Roger that. Transmitting now.
Have a safe trip back to Earth.
Freighter Delta.
Losing elevator-effect thrust.
Request trajectory.
T.C.S. McClellan
requestingflyby.
I got one-nine-zero
bogies inbound.
Vector three-seven-four,
attack formation.
Status!
Forty Kilrathi ships
coming to bear, Admiral.
They're powering weapons.
The lowa's gone!
And the Kobi.
We have a station breach!
Levels seven, eleven,
and thirteen.
They're headed towards
command and control!
Destroy the Navcom A.I. Now.
Self-destruct malfunction.
Command codes
have been overwritten.
Station breach, level six.
Station breach, level two.
Command center breach imminent.
Prepare a drone.
Get me a coded channel.
This is Admiral Wilson...
Pegasus station
commanding officer.
are closing.
Station has been breached.
They want the Navcom.
Repeat... they want the Navcom.
The station has been breached.
They want the Navcom.
Repeat... they want the Navcom.
The Pegasus Navcom.
My God, if they have it...
What's the fleet's position?
We're spread out
all over the sector.
The earliest our advanced
elements can reach Sol...
is forty-two hours...
and that is taking risks
with the jumps, sir.
Give me
the Vega and Sol sectors.
Estimated Kilrathi
fleet's position.
Projected time of travel
to Earth, forty hours.
Locating
main Confederation fleet.
Estimated time to Earth space,
forty-two hours.
the outcome of this war.
Signal all ships
to mark our course...
and make full speedfor Earth.
I need to know what
the Kilrathi are up to, Richard.
Do we have any more ships
left in Vega?
Just one, sir.
The Tiger Claw.
But she's beyond the range
of our communications...
and a drone will take
two days to reach her.
Who's this?
It's a requisitioned
merchantman... the...
Diligent.
The Diligent.
Yes, sir.
Captained by James Taggart...
at present en route
to the Tiger Claw...
with two replacement pilots...
First Lieutenants Todd Marshall
and Christopher Blair.
Open a secure channel
to the Diligent immediately.
I want to speak
with her captain...
and with this
First Lieutenant Blair.
on the bridge.
Say's it's top priority.
Sir?
I don't know
who you know, Lieutenant...
but you got a Confed code one...
secure communication
from Admiral Tolwyn.
Waiting.
Waiting.
Transmission nominal.
Long distance... connected.
At ease, Lieutenant.
- Yes, sir, Admiral.
- Good.
You are currently outbound...
to the Vega sector
and the Tiger Claw.
I need you to hand-deliver...
an encrypted communications chip
to her captain.
Why not send it by drone
to the Pegasus, sir?
That'd be quicker.
The Pegasus is gone...
destroyed by a Kilrathi
battle group...
twelve and a half hours ago.
See that Captain Sansky
gets that chip.
Why me?
I fought alongside your father
in the Pilgrim wars.
He was a good man.
Godspeed.
Well, guys...
we have to jump
into the Vega sector...
one-quarter impulse...
and be subtle.
Setting course
for beacon one-four-seven.
One-quarter impulse.
I'm reading that
as a 100,000-kilometer...
no-fly zone, sir.
Just put in beacon 147.
It's a shortcut.
Aye, Captain.
Yeah?
We're holding steady
on the beacon.
Marshall has the helm.
Those must be antiques.
They were made by the first
explorers in this sector...
just like the cross
you wear under your shirt.
May I see it?
There was a time long ago...
