[sloshing]
Tessia!
[Tessia] My baby.
I can't get to you!
Please! Please!
Fucking do something!
[Roy] You're wasting your time!
Open the fucking door!
[Karl] Rowan! No!
-Open the fucking door! -I can't!
We might be infected.
Please.
[Rowan] Please.
[Rowan sobbing]
[Roy] Okay.
Please.
[foreboding music]
[ominous music]
[whirs, thumps]
[Rowan sobbing]
Sir,
the infection from the baby seems to be airborne.
Yes, I know.
We can't let the ship become infected.
I know, Tobis. We all know.
I love you.
How did this happen?
-This is an attack on us, on this ship! -[Karl] We don't know that.
[Rowan] We do know! My fucking child just dissolved into a cloud of spores!
That's why we need to study it and find a solution before it spreads.
[Roy] We can use our medical systems to analyze the spores and create a serum.
We'll work together.
[Mel] All of our resources at once, that's why we're here.
We'll link the systems from in here,
to send data samples.
I'll get our equipment from the lab, everything we've got.
We'll set up in here.
-[Rowan] Well, we'll get you out of there. -I know you will, Row.
So, we need to get started.
I need the spectrometer,
-and both readers, and the RNA modules. -Got it.
And find Lommie. I need her help
-to integrate our systems. -[Karl] Okay.
We're going to solve this.
-[Mel] We'll get them out of there. -Thank you. Thank you. Go! Hurry.
[foreboding music]
Sweetheart?
We need a cell sample.
We...
[Rowan] We need it from...
[Roy] I'll do it.
Thank you.
Have your systems break down the contaminant.
I will analyze and get set up out here
to try and construct an antidote.
[Rowan panting]
[theme music]
[theme music continues]
[chiming, beeping]
[Mel] We're well within the range of our scanners.
We should be picking up visual data any minute.
But there's something else.
I think our proximity to the Volcryn is affecting Thale.
[Mel] He's getting far more powerful.
And I think it's hurting him.
Have you been observing Agatha?
You should.
She's an L?
L-3.
But she's getting stronger as we're approaching, so...
Almost L-2.
How long have you known?
[Karl] On some level, I've always known...
The wavelengths.
You predicted that the energy coming off the Volcryn
-would match that of L telepaths. -Teke.
You were right.
[Mel] And we're right in the middle of it.
A billion times what comes off Thale.
Or more.
The material of the probe,
this is why the sphere's working.
Teke...
Did you see something in there?
I saw my daughter.
Mel, she came back.
No, Karl, those are memories, that is not some message
-from the Volcryn. -No, Mel, it's different.
This Skye never got sick.
This one never died.
Look, we know that the Volcryn have the ability to manipulate time,
space, matter.
And what if they're implanting those images?
Changing you like they changed the probe?
-We need that gear to fight the spores. -No, I can't. I won't. I can't!
Our friends are dying!
And if they die, the mission dies with them.
-No, I can't. -[Mel] I'm not asking you, Karl.
Get that gear and get it to the lab, or I'll do it for you.
[Agatha groans]
[screaming]
[Agatha panting]
[water sloshes]
[somber music]
[computers beeping]
[powering down]
[clicks, powering up]
[whirring]
Skye.
Baby.
It's Daddy.
[chimes]
-Go away. -[Mel] Lommie, I'm coming in there.
You can open the door, or I can get a pulse rifle
and open it for you.
Open.
-What? -[Mel sighs]
What's wrong?
[Mel] Rowan and Tessia lost their baby.
We need you in the Med Lab to help link the systems.
What happened?
We don't know.
[foreboding music]
Lommie, if you know something...
No, I...
Henry Eris.
Cynthia Eris' father, he was, um.
A horrible man.
Abusive.
That's how I...
I took her power away in the Crystal.
That's how I locked her up.
[Lommie] Well, not...
[Lommie sighs]
...not all of her.
Cynthia was fragmented
and there was one part of her, a little girl...
[Lommie sighs]
After everything I've been through, all the abuse.
I couldn't put a kid in there.
So, I left her free in Greywing Manor.
[Lommie] Behind the firewalls.
When I found you there,
you said you made a big mistake.
That was her? The little girl?
I thought
she was the innocent part of Cynthia.
Now I'm wondering if there is such a thing.
[Tobis] Didn't know you had experience in the medical field.
[Roy] I grew up in my mother's lab.
All my teachers were renowned scientists.
That was my school.
My passion.
[device whirring]
[device beeps]
[beeping continues]
Structure analysis should be coming through.
[computer chimes]
You're set.
[Lommie] The goggles are connected to the monitor.
[Rowan] Thanks, Lommie.
[pen rasping]
[Rowan sighs]
What?
Nothing.
I just...
I'm sorry, Rowan.
Sorry?
[Rowan] Sorry for what?
You know who did this?
Tell me! You can tell me.
[Rowan] It was fucking Cynthia, was it?
Row, look at the feed.
[computer beeping]
[goggles beep, whirs]
Shit.
-What is it? -[Rowan] It's like some black mold.
It's everywhere.
[Rowan] I've never seen anything like it.
Well, we know how molds work.
[Tessia] The baby...
Did she suffer?
So, the collapse...
That was germination.
And the start of a new growth cycle.
Run a scan on everyone's lungs.
That's the first place that airborne spores aggregate.
[ominous music]
[lights buzzing]
[device beeping]
[beeping continues]
[wind howling]
[indistinct chatter]
Keep the thruster steady, please.
[approaching footsteps]
I heard what happened.
He's down?
He's stable in the Med Lab now, but...
he's not the only one I'm concerned about.
That was just one person.
My crew are prepared for anything.
I don't think any of us are prepared for what's happening.
I need to know what happens if Roy doesn't make it.
Is this coming from D'Branin?
-He's worried about his mission? -No.
I am.
If Captain Eris wants to make contact,
it's my duty to complete that mission.
With or without him.
[Rowan tapping, sighs]
[Rowan] Oh, man.
[murmuring]
[Tobis panting]
Okay, you need to lie down.
Okay. Steady.
[Tobis panting]
[Roy] Look at me.
Okay.
Look at me.
That's it.
That's it, look at the synth.
I'm sending you something now.
-Well, what is it? -An antidote!
Here it comes!
[Roy] She's getting worse.
We should test it first.
Culture a spore sample, expose the colony.
We don't have time.
Look here.
Relax.
[panting] [groans]
Okay.
I'll run a scan on her.
What about you?
How are you holding up?
I suppose I should be weeping or wailing.
Isn't that what mothers usually do when they lose a child?
We'll do that later,
once we get you out of here.
Remember when we first met?
I figured you just flew in with the bees.
I never understood why you chose to show yourself
as a projection for all those years.
Kind of sad for everyone who never got to know you as a real person.
[syringe clicks]
[computer chimes]
Door open.
Agatha.
The sound.
I can't make it stop.
-What sound? -It's like a scratching.
Like something trying to bore into my skull.
[Mel] How long has it been this bad?
[Agatha] Ever since the baby came,
it seems to be worse.
It keeps getting louder.
-What about Thale? -[Agatha] It's worse for him.
Every time we get near each other, it's like a psychic feedback loop.
[Agatha] That's... it's agonizing.
It's the Volcryn.
[Mel] We're getting closer to them. And the Teke energy they're giving off,
it's affecting things.
Karl predicted that the waveforms would be similar.
The Volcryn are a reservoir of Teke energy.
More than we ever imagined could have been possible.
Agatha.
I need you to talk to Thale.
Find out what he's getting from them.
If I get too close to him,
-it could very dangerous for both of us. -I know.
[Mel] I know. And I'm sorry.
But we need to find out what we're flying into,
and he's the first one who could know.
Okay.
I'll try.
[device buzzing]
They're shrinking.
You did it.
Row, something doesn't feel right.
The spores are dormant, but they're not receding.
Give it time.
It's not that. I...
I think it might be a cycle of gestation.
No, that's too fast. The spores can't bloom again this quick.
[gasping]
Tobis?
[gasping, choking]
Help.
Get back!
[Rowan] Get back, don't breathe!
[choking]
[choking continues]
[ominous music]
[Auggie scoffs]
[Auggie] I know you're alive in the ship.
I know you can hear me.
Why won't you speak?
Please, Cyn.
Talk to me.
Roy can't come between us anymore.
I have control of the ship.
Find a way back to me,
and I can return the Flyer to your capable hands.
-[door creaks] -[objects clatter]
[door slams]
[footsteps in the distance]
[foreboding music]
[approaching footsteps]
[ominous music]
[Young Cynthia] You came to play with me?
You took my family away.
-They didn't mean anything to you. -[Young Cynthia] But you did.
[Lommie] What else did you do?
[Lommie] Have you been hurting my friends?
I gave you this whole house.
[Lommie] I let you be free.
Why take them away from me?
[Cynthia] Because I need you.
[Young Cynthia] And I wanted to play.
[ominous music]
Cynthia.
Come out.
[Young Cynthia] I like it when you're scared.
This isn't a game.
Cynthia!
[Young Cynthia shushes]
[Young Cynthia] I won't let you die.
I have plans for us.
[computer chiming]
[computer beeping]
Single organism.
Sweetheart.
Honey! Honey.
[Tessia panting]
I'm okay.
It comes in waves.
No, you're not.
-You're not okay. -Row.
I need you to stay strong.
[Tessia] Okay? We'll get out of this.
God, your sad eyes are going to kill me before these spores.
I just need the spectrometer.
Where the fuck is D'Branin?
I'll go see what's keeping him.
[retreating footsteps]
[door hisses open]
Roy, I need your help.
[woman on PA] Intercom volume, zero.
What if...
he can't solve this?
Let him keep trying.
If he doesn't, he'll never forgive himself.
If the spores make it out into the ship, everyone dies.
You have to be ready.
For what?
The decontamination cycle.
That would kill every living organism in this room.
I know.
[Karl] Skye.
Skye?
[crackling]
Skye, you still here?
[Skye] Daddy.
You came back.
Yeah, baby.
I told you I would.
Skye, I need to understand where you are.
I'm here.
With you.
No, baby, I mean,
when you're not in this place.
Where do you go?
I'm at our house. With Mommy.
Okay, good.
Is Mommy happy?
Yes, but she misses you.
Skye,
when I left on the Nightflyer,
do you remember what happened that day?
Huh, of course, I remember.
We all went to the launch, my whole school.
And you were on the news feeds that night.
-Daddy. -[Karl] It's really you.
Daddy, is something wrong?
No. No, baby.
No, nothing's wrong. You're perfect.
Can you take my hand?
I can touch you, you're real.
[Karl] Oh. Oh, Skye, I'm never going to let you go again.
I'm never going to lose you again.
-[Skye] Daddy? -Yeah.
[Skye] I can't...
hold on.
No, Skye.
No, hold on. Don't let go.
-I'm trying, Daddy, but... -[Karl] Please, Skye, try...
[Skye] I'm really trying...
Skye!
-[thuds] -[crackling]
[crackling continues]
[door slams]
[Karl] Mel, stop!
-I said stop! -Rowan's been waiting for you!
We need this equipment!
This machine, everything I've built,
this, here, is everything that I came out here for.
And it's working.
I've been using it to speak with my daughter.
You don't even know if that's real
or just some visual garbage
that the memory sphere's pulling out of your head.
No, it's more than that.
I touched her hand.
Real physical contact.
Karl, it's not her.
Skye is dead.
And our team is dying right now in this world.
Not in some alternate reality.
Not in some Volcryn fantasy!
Right now!
And they need you.
I need you.
[foreboding music]
[classical music playing]
[classical music continues playing]
Mm-mm-mm.
Look what the cat dragged in.
You did very good.
Now, taste my hell!
Can't wait to kiss that girlfriend of yours.
-[Lommie] No. -[Cynthia] I'll tell her you said hi.
No! Don't leave me here!
-[Lommie] Don't leave me here! -[Henry] Cynthia!
[Lommie] Don't leave me here!
[gasps, shudders]
[Agatha sobbing]
[sobbing continues]
[groaning]
Thale?
[Agatha] Thale!
Listen...
[Karl] Agatha?
Agatha! Are you up here?
[Agatha groans]
-Hey, hey. -[Agatha panting]
[Karl] Oh, my god.
You're amplifying each other.
You can't be this close, you're killing each other.
[Agatha] I can't make it stop!
They're breaking into our visual spectrum.
[Roy] Tessia, look at me.
It's going to be fine, I promise you.
-Please stay with me. -[Rowan] Tessia!
-She can't talk! -[Karl] Hey, hey.
-Where have you been? So does Tessia! -Agatha needs help.
-[Rowan] Where the fuck have you been? -Agatha needs help. Help me suppress--
-[Karl] What's going on-- -[Rowan shouting]
[crackling noise]
[cracking]
This is it.
This is the sound.
-What sound? -They're trying to eat through the glass.
[Agatha] She's going.
They're blooming inside of her.
They're going to chew their way out.
[Agatha] She's trying to say something.
[Tessia, disembodied] "Row?"
"Rowan."
Yes, darling?
[Agatha] "Don't let it poison your heart."
"Remember love,
how happy we made each other."
[Agatha] "Live in that place."
[Tessia sobbing]
What?
What is she saying? Tell me!
She wants you to do it now.
Do what?
Do what now, Agatha?
-They're breaking through the glass! -[Rowan] What?
She wants you to do it now!
-Do what? -[Karl] Look, I don't understand!
-[Agatha] You have to do it now! -[Rowan] Do what now?
[Agatha] They're going to break through the glass!
-This is Captain Roy Eris. -[woman on PA] Identity confirmed.
-Initiate decontamination sequence. -Don't you fucking dare!
[Rowan] Don't press! No!
-Press the button. -Don't!
-Now! -[Rowan] No!
-[woman on PA] Decontamination initiated. -No! Tessia!
[woman on PA] Warning.
Tessia!
[screaming]
[woman on PA] Decontamination complete.
Room purged. No organics detected.
Decontamination complete.
[ominous music]
[gasps]
[wind howling]
[Roy] Auggie, I need your help.
Deactivate.
Roy, where are you?
[Roy] The medical lab is sterile.
The others?
[Roy] They're gone.
Tessia and Tobis.
I'm on my way, sir.
