You stopped the ship.
Oh.
Saved our lives.
Now it's time to go home.
[gulps]
We almost have the ring rebalanced.
Give me one more cycle.
What about the crew?
I'm their captain now.
[door opens]
-[gasps] -You gave me back my life.
My home.
When can we be together?
Soon.
Finish the repairs.
Then we'll have time.
None of my business, Chief.
[ominous music]
Who are you?
[Mel] Everything was a lie.
I trusted you.
I loved you.
What did I love, Roy?
What did I love?
[gasps] Cynthia.
Watch out.
Girl.
She...
Not me.
[Mel] Karl.
Cynthia Eris is back.
I just saw her...
as a projection.
I was on Deck 7.
It must mean
-that she's gaining access to the systems. -Damn it!
Lommie never locked her away, not all of her.
She left a part of her out, a little girl.
And she's influencing people on this ship.
[Lommie] It's an anomaly.
[Karl] Lommie.
You okay?
[Lommie] I was, uh...
I was inside the Crystal when...
when the dome blew. I...
I couldn't get out.
What about Cynthia?
Mel thinks part of her might be free.
[stuttering] No. The girl was just a fragment.
I cleared all that up.
And made sure the firewalls were secure.
-When? Because I just saw her. -When I was down there.
She's gone. This time for good.
Okay.
[Lommie] Karl.
Can we just go back now?
People have died.
The ship is damaged.
[Lommie] What can that thing possibly tell us?
[Karl] The Volcryn can change everything.
They can change our entire world.
-You really believe that? -[Karl] With all my heart.
Things I've seen,
what I've been able to do because of them.
What exactly did you see?
Different realities, different dimensions.
The Volcryn are the key, the Teke energy,
-they can open doors for us. -Teke made you crazy.
Lommie!
The machine I built in the memory sphere is only a fraction of what they can do.
Go see for yourself.
What about you?
I don't want everything we've lost to be for nothing.
We need to use Thale.
I know, but it almost killed him last time.
It's too strong, and I don't know how to make him filter.
Well, Rowan trained him.
He did it with the bees, with the rabbit.
I'm going to go talk to Rowan.
[Karl] He's the only one that can guide Thale through.
[Mel] Karl.
Rowan killed people.
We can't trust him.
I'm just going to talk to him, that's all.
[machine hisses]
[metal clanks]
Begin playback.
-[metal clanks] -[machine whirring]
Auggie.
Take us home, please.
[Auggie] I'm sorry. You're not the captain anymore.
[ominous music]
Give that thing...
to me.
[groans]
[grunts]
Auggie, stop!
-[shatters] -[groaning]
[grunts]
[Lommie] What have you done to my ship?
It's bleeding.
Infecting us.
[glass shatters]
[screams]
Rowan?
[knocks on door]
[knocks on door continues]
[Karl] Rowan?
Look, Rowan, I don't know what happened to you,
and I don't know why you did what you did, but I want you to know
that Agatha's dead.
She killed herself.
[crying]
[Karl] Rowan?
[sobbing]
She did it for Thale, to release him from the psychic feedback.
She did it for you.
How do you know?
I was there.
I don't remember it all. It was too much.
The Teke was amplifying everything.
It was too fucking much!
[whispering] It was too much.
[Rowan] I'm so sorry, mate.
I'm so sorry about Agatha.
Because I can only guess how much you loved her.
[Rowan sighs]
[Rowan] Karl, listen.
I've been studying the Volcryn.
This shift in morphology could actually be your invitation.
They may want to communicate.
[inhales sharply]
I could help you.
Now that the feedback loop's broken,
Thale can do what we brought him here to do.
[door rasps]
[panting]
[screaming]
[somber music]
[somber music continues]
Is that you?
Where are you?
Roy?
[Mel] Can you hear me?
[scoffs]
[gasps]
The door.
[gasps]
[Roy in distorted voice] Use...
eye.
[foreboding music]
[woman over PA] Access denied.
[Murphy] Casualties have been triaged, Chief.
We lost six.
Another eight or nine are cycling through Re-Gen now.
-How long until we're operational? -Well, I've got the ballast moving now.
Give me, say, eight hours and we'll be able to test rotation.
[Auggie] Stay on the boys down there. The sooner, the better.
[Lommie] Auggie.
I need to talk to you.
[Auggie] You're not supposed to be here.
I need to talk to you.
That thing out there has infected us.
It's bleeding, it's spreading, it's going up the walls!
-Cynthia, calm down. -What?
I will not be calm, not on my ship!
This thing is eating through the Nightflyer like a cancer.
If they find out you're alive, we'll have a mutiny.
[Auggie] Let me get us to Europa, then you take the ship,
you can have control again.
We won't make it to Europa.
[Lommie] Even if we did, that thing will contaminate my colonies,
everything I've built, everything I am.
There's only one way to stop it.
I need you...
to disable the cooling system.
-The thrusters? -Let them go critical.
The explosion would be catastrophic.
-Our entire crew, our ship... -Yes, but the blast would vaporize it.
We could kill it.
I have a life pod on Deck 7.
You'd take me with you?
Of course, little bear.
[Lommie] We could start over.
Its membrane appears thinnest at its center.
It's acting like a flexible conductive sheath.
Movements are becoming receptive.
Those tentacles are reacting to our every movement and presence.
So, clearly, it knows that we're here.
[Karl] Thale.
[Rowan] Where is he?
[Thale] You fucking bastard!
What are you doing?
Stop.
[Rowan] Stop! Karl, make him stop.
You were there when she died.
I'm sorry.
[screams]
[Karl] Thale. Thale!
Stop, you'll kill him!
He's the only one who understands how the Volcryn works.
I need him.
[Rowan panting]
I need to talk to you.
Alone.
[gasps]
[sighs]
This is all in my head?
I'm stronger now.
[Thale] Since Agatha left us, all the Teke became focused on me.
I can hear the Volcryn.
And they're waiting for you. They want you to come to them.
Thale, how do I get over there?
Cynthia Eris.
I don't understand. Cynthia's inside the Crystal.
No, she ain't. She's on the ship.
She stole Lommie's body.
[Karl] She's got a way off the ship.
Some form of life raft.
[scoffs]
Yeah. That's your ticket, mate.
That's how you get to the Volcryn.
[gasps, panting]
What just happened?
[Karl] We need to find Lommie.
[Thale] I've been trying.
She's somewhere dark and hot.
I can't get a full image. [sniffs]
The engine rooms, below Deck 7.
I need you to stay with Thale, help him focus on Lommie.
We're running out of time.
[Thale] I'll explain.
Karl, whatever happens.
-[Rowan] Good luck. -Yeah.
You want to get going, bruv, there ain't much time.
[ominous music]

-[squelches] -[grunts]

[sighs, sniffs]
[woman in PA] Captain Roy Eris, identity confirmed.
[Murphy] Chief, you shouldn't be in here.
-[rumbling] -[engine powering down]
The ship is overheating.
I'm aware of that, Murph.
You're going to send the thrusters into meltdown!
Get back to your station. Look, I'll handle the thrusters.
Just like you handled the pressure sensors in the Terraform Dome?
You're relieved of your duties, Murph.
Silas can take over your shift.
There's not going to be any more shifts, are there, Chief?
No.

[gasps]
[Mel] Roy?
Is that really you?
[gasps]
[sobbing]
[Mel] Roy.
[crying]
[approaching footsteps]
[Lommie] You two were made for each other.
Genetic freaks.
Mistakes.
Blended with... [chuckles]
...occasional strokes of genius.
Lommie?
Lommie is gone.
Locked in the Crystal Matrix with my father.
-You selfish bitch. -[snickers]
This ship, everything you built, was for yourself.
So what? So you could keep living?
What about him?
What about his life?
Roy loves you.
-It tore him apart to put you... -[Lommie] To what?
To lock me away inside that crystal prison?
Not very nice,
considering I made him myself.
What do you mean, "made"?
I have devised the ability to live past my body's natural life,
but only physical beings have rights in our society.
[Lommie] I needed an heir to keep flying my ship,
building my colonies.
Roy is a cross-sex clone...
of myself.
You did something to him, Mel.
You treated him like a...
person.
No one ever had before,
not even me.
Of course, he could never love you.
Not in a real way.
I was never as skilled as Connie.
Connie Brighthead?
She never mentioned to you
where the root DNA for your coding came from?
[Mel] My parents...
They,
they donated genetic material.
-I was enhanced from... -There's a reason...
There's a reason you and Roy are so close.
[Lommie] You're both...
a part of me.
You're his sister, I suppose.
[shagged breathing]
It's fitting you'll be together for these final moments.
Goodbye, my children.
[hisses]
-[alarm blaring] -[sobs]
[woman on PA] Warning! Thruster temperature critical.

[alarm blaring]
[foreboding music]
She's in her room below Deck 7.
[hisses]
She's behind you, the other way.
Fuck! No, fuck this, man.
It's too close to the engines. It's too hot. It's too loud.
It's too hot? It can't burn you.
Ignore the noise.
[Rowan] Push through it.
[Thale] Fucking hell.
[Rowan] Come on, Thale. You can do this.
[alarm blaring]
That's it, Thale. Tell me, what do you see?
[Thale] I can see her in her room.
It looks like Lommie, but it fucking ain't.
[Thale] She's leaving.
-Okay, now lead Karl to her. -Okay.
[Thale] I've got this. Take a right.
Down there. Lommie's down there.
Left.
Now, turn around. Behind you.
[suspenseful music]
[metal rattling]
[keyboard clacking]
[whispers] [Thale] What the fuck?
Come on, man! She's right behind you!
Fucking turn around! Open your eyes!
She's right behind you! Come on! Turn around!
[thuds]
-You're running away. -So are you.
Oh, this ship gave you life, and you're abandoning it.
You ruined all that when bringing us here.
You let that thing infect the Nightflyer.
No. You're the infection.
-[thwacks] -[grunts]
[groans]
[chocking] Kill me and Lommie has no body.
You're strangling your friend.
[breathes heavily, coughing]
You leave this ship, and all your friends are going to die.
No, they won't.
I'm leaving you here with them.
[grunts]
[Lommie] You're crazy! Where are you going to go?
I'm going home.
[alarm beeping]
[Lommie] No!
No!
-[machine hisses] -[Lommie] No!
[alarm blaring]
[woman in PA] Launch sequence begins in ten seconds.
Ten, nine,

No!

[engine revving]
[alarm blares]
-[Mel] What? -[woman in PA] Warning!
-Thruster temperature critical. -What is that?
Core integrity compromised in T-minus 14 minutes.
That's D'Branin.
He's going to make contact?
Which means we need to save this ship.
[alarm blaring]
He took the pod, Auggie. We're trapped.
We're going to die out here.
You went down without me?
I was waiting for you.
Auggie.
The pod was made for one person.
It was designed for me.
This is my legacy.
It's my talents that created this ship.
You are just a glorified truck driver.
Get Lommie off the bridge.
-You can't do this. -Lock her in her quarters and sedate her.
-This is my ship. -She's unstable. Get her out now!
[Lommie grunts]
[Lommie] This is my ship!
You can't do this! This is my ship!
[machine revving]
You fucking coward!
-[slaps] -You don't get to take the easy way out!
[Mel] You're the captain now, and we need your help.
[Auggie] It's over. There's no hope.
Well, I didn't come out here to die.
Now, you listen to me, you're going to help us fix this.
The cooling system has been disabled.
I can't get the engines...
to stop overheating.
Wait a minute.
If we reset the thrusters,
it would bring the cooling system back online.
It's not possible to shut down the entire ship.
The Nightflyer is programmed with fail safes
to keep the environmental systems online.
Unless you did it from the inside.
-[woman on PA] Warning! -I don't understand.
Thruster temperature critical.
-Lommie. -Core integrity compromised
in T-minus eight minutes.
We would lose everything, heat, oxygen, any form of controls.
That's better than four simultaneous nuclear explosions.
We don't have time to build a tether. We can't get to her.
I know someone who can.
[alarm blares]
[Karl screams]
[groaning]
[groans]
[alarm blaring]
[gasps]
[alarm beeping]
[Mel] Can you do it or not?
-Oh, do we have a choice? -No.
If you can't reach Lommie, we're all dead.
-You did it earlier. -That's a bit different, innit, mate?
The Crystal's way more complex than a couple of tunnels.
He's never going to be able to find her in there, not enough time.
We'll see about that, won't we?
Truck driver.
[woman on PA] Warning. Thruster temperature critical.
Core integrity compromised in T-minus five minutes.
[breathes heavily]
It's too much.
[exhales sharply]
[breathes heavily]
Mel.
I'm sorry.
Lommie?
I can hear you, but...
I don't know where I am.
[Mel] We need your help.
We need you to shut down the Nightflyer.
The Crystal. If it loses power...
We're going to restart the ship. We won't let you die in there.
It's okay if I do.
We'll try something else.
Look, I can do this.
-It doesn't matter what happens to me. -Yes, it does.
You were right.
The connections we make,
they're everything.
I love you, Mel.
I always will.
[sighs]
[Mel] Lommie?
All right, that's enough of all that soppy bollocks, innit?
Yeah, she's gone.
Let's have everyone gather into groups,
try to create a heat sink, insulate our bodies.
We won't have much time before she shuts the ship down.
[woman in PA] Warning! Thruster temperature critical.
Core integrity compromised in T-minus three minutes.
All Deck 4 personnel, please report to the Inner Core.
All Deck 2 personnel, please report to the Mess Hall.
Get to the Mess Hall. Bring everything to the Mess Hall.
Warning! Thruster meltdown imminent.
[crew #1] This way.
[Mel] Everyone, huddle together!
Core integrity compromised in T-minus two minutes.
Stay close. Stay close to keep warm.
[somber music]
[woman in PA] Attention!
Full system shutdown in ten,
nine,

four,
three,
two,
one.
Full system shutdown.
[Roy] Good afternoon, Professor.
I have a proposal for you.
My ship was designed to explore new worlds.
It was built to expand the human horizon across the solar system.
But this discovery,
this singular opportunity to make contact with a higher power,
to pursue a knowledge beyond our own.
A knowledge that could unlock our potential and save mankind itself.
