Ugh!

Hello? Hello?

Mayday. Mayday. Can anyone hear me?

Help me, please.

Mayday. Mayday.

If anyone can hear me, I need help. I'm stuck in some sort of escape pod in

space.

If the air's wrong, can you...

I can't breathe very well and I don't know where I am.

I can't remember.

Mom.

No. No.

Respond. Hello? Tycho, hello?

Hello, can you hear me? I can hear you, I can hear you.

Help me, please, you have to help me. I'm going to help you. It's okay.

Try to calm down. Talk to me.

Thank God.

I'm injured, bleeding.

Are you going to save me?

Calm down.

This is Swindon Space Control.

We picked up your distress call and have your location now. Your pilot should

have extrapolated for a smooth re -entry back to Earth and... There's no pilot.

I think the air's wrong in here. I can't breathe very well.

I don't know what happened. I'm injured. Your autopilot... Did your autopilot

fire correctly?

I don't know. Try to relax.

I'm going to get you out of this. My name is Sarah.

I don't know what happened yet, just that there was some sort of...

Okay,

okay. Wait, wait, wait.

Are you the only one there?

So

wait,

the what?

Have you checked the oxygen valves are working correctly?

I'm not an astronaut.

Can you tell me your name, sir?

I'm not sure.

I think I hit my head.

It says Tycho on my uniform.

Oh, yeah, we know that. We picked up your theory's number. It's from a Tycho

pod. It rings a bell.

It's one of the asteroid mining companies out there.

Sir, do you know your name?

No. I can't remember.

I can't remember much. Is that normal?

It could be a symptom related to your air mix. I've seen it before.

The Tyco project manager and engineer is Ray Getty. Does that name sound

familiar? Ah, here he is.

He's with the station we lost contact with. He says he's not an astrotech and

that he doesn't remember his name. That he's hit his head.

Oh, boy.

What? What? Hi, this is Ray Getty. Your name is Marcus.

You were...

You were visiting the Silver Station.

Okay, what do you mean?

Oh. Right, let's concentrate on saving your life, shall we?

Wait, is anyone going to tell me what's happening?

What's going on, Marcus, is you're in little more than a box in space and you

have no idea what to do, so you are going to listen, okay?

Is this a test, sir?

Is this a test?

Marcus, it's very simple.

You're going to listen to what I say so you have a chance in hell to make it

back to Earth alive. Do you understand?

Yeah, it's not a test, yeah.

Right, OK.

You are alive now, which means you have some power. And the temperature

regulator and oxygen supply are working, OK?

Oh, but there is a problem with the air, he was saying. Right, thank you. I'll

take you from here. Space control, thank you. And Marcus can speak for himself,

can't you, Marcus?

Yeah.

There's something wrong with the air.

You have to be more specific, Marcus.

I can't breathe very well.

OK, I can hear an intermittent rattling. Do you know where that comes from?

It seems to come from behind the seat.

Right, okay. It's probably the air tank.

It's not supposed to make that noise, but you are breathing, okay?

We can fix that, right? But that is not the priority right now.

You say so.

Marcus, are you physically injured?

Yeah, there's a nasty wound on my side. I used the medicate earlier. It doesn't

seem to be bleeding anymore.

Okay, well, that's good. We'll get a doctor on the radio ASAP, but the

right now is to put you on the course.

Marcus?

Marcus, what's that?

There's stuff flying around. It just hit my head.

Marcus, you're performing delicate operations. You don't need any of those

distractions. Just put it all away.

There's something called the data recorder. Should I do something with

You have the station black box there?

Yeah, is that bad?

Marcus, don't touch it. It's not for you. You could damage the data in it.

Just put it away and the Earth team can access the data to know what happened.

Sounds great.

Now, as I was saying, I assume the autopilot hasn't triggered.

How can I tell? Are you spinning?

Well, I can't look outside to check. I closed the door by mistake earlier.

How do I... Right, that's for the best. Just stay away from the airlock.

Now, on the control panel in front of you, find the switch labelled main

and flick it.

Okay, done.

Right, the top corner shows one set of three figures for the current rotation.

Are they changing?

A lot, yeah.

It's bad, right?

Well, it means you're not headed home. It's no surprise, we've seen it happen

before.

So, the team has calculated the necessary coordinates for the pod to

Earth. We are directing you to the South Pacific Ocean.

It's where the autopilot would have sent you. Not that you need to know.

I'm transferring them to space control, so you can work together to enter them

via the keyboard on the control panel. And once you have, find another switch

turn the autopilot on.

Okay.

Are you not going to stick around?

No, I have to go now, but I will be back.

Space control has the necessary information for now, and I will check

you're on course in a minute. Okay?

Okay.

Thanks.

He's gone. Is he?

He needs to work on his people skills.

I won't argue that.

I'm going to have a talk to you.

Really.

What do I do?

Right. Let me see.

I have the coordinates here. Are you ready? Two long numbers.

I'm ready, yeah.

Okay, the first one is minus 43 .277205.

And the other one?

Positive.

179 .384766.

Couldn't just wait with the enter key.

Sorry, sir?

I can't find the autopilot switch. Where is it? I'm not sure.

Give me a second. You're not sure?

No, it's on a different page.

You mean the manual?

Yeah. Well, it got transferred from engineering together with the

Sorry, sir. We don't know all the different companies' models.

It's okay. I've found it.

Well, great. Well done.

Well, it says here that there is always a delay in pod response.

So it takes a minute or two for them to stop their current trajectory and then

the thrusters to get into the right position.

You'll be home in no time, sir.

You actually have to call me, sir. Well, I should just call you Mr. Tyco.

Sorry? Well, since your father actually runs Tyco Corp.

Wait, what?

Kind of.

You won't just tell me this now?

I keep forgetting.

You don't remember things, do you? What do you mean, kind of? Well, I don't want

to pour lemon juice on it, but they say it's not doing well. Lots of technical

issues. Is it that bad of me? Who says that?

Just Tycho's staff I've talked to.

That's probably not true, Mr. Tycho.

Can you please just call me Marcus?

Um, okay. Plus, I suppose that's your father, isn't it, Mr. Tycho? I mean, um,

sorry. One moment. I have another call.

Okay.

with Mr. Getty checking that the coordinates were working.

He needs to go, but he'll be back shortly, and then he'll do a full check

pod with you.

He started moving by himself. Well, there we go. You're on your way to

Yay.

So why'd he have to go? Did the boss's son stuck his face that important

or is it just that he doesn't like me?

I am pretty sure there's something else going on. I'm just not sure what. How do

you know?

Well, I don't know.

But the resident staff from Tyco, well, they're all busier than usual today, and

they're all acting a bit shifty, if you know what I mean.

You're good at reading people, right? I can tell my father's like that too.

I guess.

Probably why I got assigned to this stupid post.

Sorry, I shouldn't complain to the client. Say whatever you want, you're

my life.

Hardly. Oh, I forgot, there's a doctor on the way, to help with your wound.

Maybe he can help with your memories too.

But try to relax, we're going to get you home.

Here, some music.

Do you like it?

Sure, I guess.

Sorry about Mr. Getty, by the way. To be honest, I hear you can be difficult

sometimes. Maybe that's just the way he likes to talk to you.

Have we met?

No, not really. Well, not that you'd remember, even if you hadn't hit your

You're a bit of a rich playboy.

Not so interested in space program interns, I imagine.

Sound like a right prick.

It's just the rumor mill.

Bitching about the boss passes the time. All the boss's done.

Or whatever.

So, I'm rich.

Stinking.

Got to know.

I'll buy you dinner if you get me out of this.

You say that now, you'll probably forget.

You can remind me that's what little people are for, isn't it?

Ooh, watch it, Catanova.

Oh, excuse me.

It's been a long shift.

Half an hour and I'll be dozing on the train.

You're not staying.

I like the sound of your voice. Can you not stay a little longer?

That would be no good to you unconscious.

It's just nice to have someone to talk to, you know?

I guess I could stay for a bit.

I don't know.

Hey, so you don't remember anything about the station then?

No, not really.

Bits, but nothing from up there so far.

I have the black box here anyway.

Ray says they'll be able to tell what happened from that, right?

Well... You seem to know a lot about Tycho, by the way. Oh, it's a client.

They make you read all these client documents.

Plus, last night was on the news.

They always make a fuss about a civilian going into space, like it's something

new.

You got there in a company shuttle, like, 24 hours ago.

Some kind of PA event, I think.

Wait, why was I going? My father, he hasn't, like, retired, has he?

Um, I don't know. I think Mr. Tycho is sick.

Of course, I went on his behalf.

Yeah, that's it.

It was all in the press release about the event, how his son will be the one

there, blah, blah, blah.

I didn't actually read it, but some people here didn't even know the son was

the picture. No offence.

Well, that's how I know about it. They were surprised about you going up there

instead, and they... That's it, Sarah.

I need you to call my father. Can you do that for me?

Yeah, that's a great idea.

He'll be glad to hear that you're okay.

Yeah, maybe.

Let me access the client's listings.

I probably won't have a direct number, but I'll see if I can get transferred.

Okay, yeah, but you need to know that I'm all right and I'm bringing something

for him, okay? Oh, okay.

I'm going to get off the comms for a second, try and get a direct number from

the company.

Keep yours open.

I'll reconnect in a minute.

Okay, but just don't be long, okay? I won't. Right.

You're going to be proud of me this time, Dad.

Sorry,

no luck.

Maybe Ray has it.

No, I have the number, but I got the machine, so I imagine he's not in.

Right.

He's probably still not feeling well.

I don't know, he tends to get better overnight.

Well, it is still night this side of the world.

Yes, you're probably right.

Oh, hear this.

There is another pod, apparently.

Really? Maybe another survivor.

One of Mr Getty's team just told me. See? I knew something was going on.

Any contact yet?

They're trying, he said.

No luck so far. Maybe the comms are down.

It's en route to Earth, though.

Must have launched before yours, because it's closer.

Right.

Oh, and the autopilot did fire on that one.

Someone may have gotten more lucky than you.

Yeah, or more.

Lucky them.

Marcus, Mr Getty is asking to be patched in.

Great.

Here we go.

Right, Marcus, I'm going to talk you through the air tank first.

Marcus, can you hear me?

Yeah, it'll make the air better, right? Well, it should, yeah, if we do it

right. There's a panel above you to your left labelled with a yellow sticker.

When I tell you, I want you to open it. Do you think you can do that?

Er, I think so.

Good.

There's magnetic catches at both sides. You should be able to pull it open with

a good pull. Am I going to run out of air?

No, probably not. I mean, provided the tank inside is not damaged, you have

plenty. You just need to make sure it doesn't explode.

Oh, well, please tell me how to do that.

Right, well, there's some fuel lining in there, too. With this model, it's been

known to happen. What's fuel lining? The air one thing? No, I didn't design it.

Now there's a chance the tank is already loose, so it might get free and hit

something with force enough to break it open and spark at the same time. You are

going to have to open the side closest to you only and then wiggle your hand

inside, then grab that tank firmly and force it back into its socket. Do you

think you understand me, Marcus?

Yeah. Right, okay, explain it back to me.

You want me to slide my hand in and reach for the tank so that the panel

it bouncing around too much and I can grab it.

Close enough.

We don't want to make the situation worse by touching what we shouldn't. So

you're going to tell me what you're going to do before you do it, okay?

Okay.

Okay. Moving into position to touch the panel.

Cleared for procedure.

Prepare to open the panel with one hand, slide the fingers of the other hand

underneath the panel, and reach for the tent.

Cleared for procedure.

Just imagine getting the thing open and seeing a rattling kind of start.

No chance that could happen, right?

Well, if you can't get it open, it is stars.

The pressure difference, you know?

Very reassuring.

Hey, panel's open, no stars.

Well done, Marcus.

Thank you.

Tank, you're hanging from the connector.

Are you going to... You have to reinforce it and secure it so the same

doesn't happen again.

It's done.

All right, Marcus.

You should be getting the full air supply now.

Oh, thank God.

One more thing. Before you start to over -congratulate yourself for being so

smart... You don't have to speak to me like that, you know.

I fixed the damn air thing, didn't I? I'm just here.

To help you make it out alive.

We're not friends, Marcus.

Yeah, Ray. I know that. Trust me. Believe me. I know it. I know it's all

back to you.

It's probably helping already, isn't it?

I still can't remember what happened up there, though. Don't worry, Marcus.

Give it some time. Space control.

Sorry, Mr. Gay.

Let's move on to the rest of the checklist, shall we? Why?

I'm breathing and I'm en route to Earth, right? You are.

We still need to know the pod is in good enough condition.

Sarah told me about the other pod.

Did she?

Just, um... Let's make sure your pod can get back safely, Marcus.

You'd be concerned with making it back. That's the best way that you can help

right now. I know, Ray, but this is... You need to bring the black box back to

us. And I'd like to know if there's any more survivors and if they're okay.

Those are my father's people.

My people.

There's no contact yet, so unless you can remember something of help from what

happened... And we're both in the dark.

No, no, I can't. No.

You have the black box now.

No, Marcus, you have it. And until you bring it back to us, unscathed, we can't

access it. And you may not remember, but we actually haven't had the chance to

try and hand it reading any others, since we can't get the damn thing to

through re -entry. Well, now I am bringing it.

Don't remind me.

If you do remember something, your father is obviously very keen on finding

any of the survivors.

We're going to need a positive media spin.

You spoke to him?

Yes, I did. As soon as Swindon picks up, you call.

What else did he say?

He asked about the scale of the damage.

And I said, we don't know yet.

We don't know if his stubborn kid is in danger of dying in space for not

listening to instructions. Should I tell him that, Marcus?

What do I do?

It's actually very, very simple. First off, there's an indicator labeled

state. That's battery state. What color is it?

Yellow. Well, that's not too bad. It could be worse.

Now, Marcus, without power, nothing works.

Nothing. Okay? That pod becomes just a box in space.

You understand?

This is very, very important.

The cold alone will kill you in minutes.

So let me know if it goes red. Okay?

Marcus, is that understood?

Yeah, okay.

Right, now I want you to check the exterior cameras.

Right, you need only to use the control panel again.

Now only touch the camera controls.

Okay, I see them.

Right, there are six cameras there. I want you to cycle through them in

ascending order and tell me exactly what you see.

Okay.

Stars.

Not working.

Not working.

It does.

It's not working.

I can see her.

Oh, my God.

He says the front.

So that's the rear camera, plus two of the side ones aren't working. Is that

right? I guess so, yeah.

Okay, well, it's not a big deal.

All right, we're done with the checklist. You can turn all those

now. Get back to course display so you can see the autopilot is working.

Using that display will save you some power, too.

What about the rest of the panel? Isn't that on the checklist?

You don't want to touch anything on that if you don't know what you're doing.

I already did.

I should know how to use it just in case, right? No, we're all better off if

don't touch anything.

No, you're not going to die in the next ten minutes.

I need to go and look into something. I'll contact you back.

Sarah? Yeah?

What a dick.

No, he's right.

I'm just useless up here.

If I could at least give some detail on the other part.

You shouldn't really worry about that. I hear they do this memory scan sometimes

in these situations.

I forgot about that.

Figures. Oh, sorry.

I really have no filter. I should shut up.

I mean, you know, you're forgetting things, aren't you? No, no, you're

you're right.

I know that Tycho's done them in the past for astrotechs going through

situations.

Apparently they can be quite painful.

Oh, well, maybe you'll remember naturally.

You think someone could be in the other pod?

Well... Could be a technical failure, right? Well, yeah, it could be.

Do you want to know who else was on the station?

Maybe it'll jog your memory.

Talking about your dad did.

Could they be in the other pod?

Well, it's only designed for one.

There were three astrotechs and a facilitator up there. It still could be

them, though. I mean, why aren't we talking about me going to rescue them,

know? They may need my help.

Whoa, you can't do anything from where you are. You don't have a spacesuit,

even. You can't help them.

I love that you'd try.

It's just not possible.

Alright, it's good to know that someone cares about me.

Maybe you could stay, pass your shift, I mean.

I'll make sure that Tycho pays you overtime, plus the dinner.

Stop being silly.

The day staff are coming in now.

They can handle day traffic.

I don't mind staying with you until you feel safe.

Or I pass out.

Thank you, Sarah.

You're welcome, Marcus.

Um... You want to tell me about the crew? Yes.

Noel Chris Cole, pilot. Looks like he's been off -world most of his adult life.

Expert EBA.

Adrian Shaw, navigation and planning, shells and paints.

Terence Perara, station facilitator. Only been with the company six months.

Did you know them?

No. Well, I've probably talked to them at some point. I talk to a lot of

Last one.

Brian Salas, station captain.

Been with Tyco for 12 years. Married with two young girls.

Brian? Yeah, Brian Salas. Ring any bells, maybe?

Course.

I remember Brian.

My father loves him.

Does he?

Beth, when we happy, always said.

Marcus?

Can you hear me?

Marcus, I can hear a hum.

Marcus?

What's happening?

Marcus!

Well, your position is changing too quick. Are you okay?

Oh, God. I'll get Mr. Gay.

Marcus, what do you think you're doing?

Remember, Brian's in the other part. I can get to him. What? No, Marcus, you

can't. Marcus, there's no point to this.

You are using up battery and risking your life unnecessarily.

I'm just worried about the black box.

He is flying it, though. I thought you said he didn't know how.

I took the astrotech training.

Did you?

I did. He failed the training.

Marcus, listen to me. You're going too fast.

Pod 2 is in a very similar trajectory.

If you don't run out of battery before, you may crash into it.

Marcus?

Marcus, are you okay?

You've stopped.

Emergency pods lock themselves off when you fly too fast on manual. That's why

you stopped.

Doesn't sound like a very intelligent idea.

Most personal emergency pods only ever fly in autopilot.

If you do want to go into manual, then you use the manual override. Did you not

remember that?

I didn't know that.

Well, now you do.

You do well in feeling lucky that you're inside that pod instead of outside and

not asking too much from it.

Alright, we're here.

Alright,

I'm on it. I've

got the first one.

Yeah, second one positive, 43277.

What else?

205.

Okay.

All there now.

Marcus, if you're remembering, can you tell us anything that may help us with

pod two? Yeah, I remember most of it.

I'll tell you when I'm on my way to Brian. How do I unlock this thing?

Marcus, what is your plan here, really?

I'm going to attach the two pods using the docking mechanism to get in.

Brian himself told me that was possible before the accident. Listen to me. Is

that possible?

It is not possible.

That has never been done in the field. It would be unlikely to succeed, even if

we had a pod in perfect condition.

And a qualified, a more qualified person at the controls.

I cannot authorise it. I don't need you to.

You can't stop me. You can't do anything from where you are.

You've been childish now.

Am I?

Brian needs me to try.

Best case scenario, he's hurt and unable to help himself, okay? And so are you.

And you hardly remember some training you couldn't even complete.

Marcus, please listen to Mr. Getty.

Okay.

Okay, Marcus, you're right.

What?

There's very little we can do from here except seeing your rough position.

Our instruments here are not that precise.

There is a possibility that something could be blocking the transmission.

Some debris perhaps stuck in the outside structure after a difficult launch or

something. We could do with you taking a closer look.

Okay.

I'll help you do a flyby, safely.

That way you can get a visual read and check if that's the case.

And we can assess the situation from there.

If we're lucky, we might be able to carefully nudge the blockies off.

I've not changed my mind.

If you want me to check for debris, then I will. But if that's not the case,

then I will dock.

Brian is the last of the crew.

And I will get to him. And if he's still alive, I will rescue him.

The manual override button unlocks the pod.

It's under a protective cover.

Lift the cover and press the button.

There was a cooling period of a few minutes after lock -off, but it should

passed.

Now you obviously remember how to drive.

Let's make it smooth.

You can still use the coordinates for initial orientation.

Yeah, it's, uh... It's repositioning now.

As for flying, whatever you do, stay under the 15 mark.

It'd be very hard to fly straight with the speed over that.

The trick is to never go hard on those sticks.

Use soft adjustments.

We'll monitor you and your progress from here.

But you need to check the front camera for a visual as you get closer. Make

you don't crash against Brian's pod.

You remember how to action the cameras?

I do. Right, good.

That's good.

Right, Marcus, I'm going to need you to stay sharp, yeah?

I can do that.

Okay, Marcus, right, you're on your way now.

We kept our end of the bargain.

So, um, the air was dense.

I had to breathe on the station.

Brian and myself were lucky we were on the other side of the station by the

pods.

He was telling me about how they were planning to...

And the prep work they were doing to get the mineral load to Earth.

The rest of the crew, they died in the explosion.

They were at the control module?

Yeah.

Look, the station, it started falling apart over us.

Brian said we only had a few minutes.

Tried to get in one of the pods, but... Why not the shuttle I brought you up

there?

Could you not have gotten to the hangar through the auxiliary tunnels?

I don't know.

No, it had been destroyed by the explosion too.

Anyway, Brian tried to get in one of the pods and as he did we were hit by

flying debris.

One piece sliced me on my waist and he took a pretty big hit to the head.

I mean, he did get into the pod in the end but he was bleeding very heavily.

What about you?

I went back for the black box and got into the next pod.

When?

When... I mean, after we got hit, you know, I... I knew there wasn't enough

and I thought Brian was dead.

There was blood everywhere.

When I got back with the black box, his pod was gone.

And I had just enough time to get into mine. I... I could have examined him, I

could have helped him, I...

He may still be alive.

Brian is a tough cookie.

You shouldn't have risked your life to get to the black box.

But it is the first time Tycho may have undamaged one after an accident, so this

could be quite useful data.

Yeah, to figure out the oxygen issue, right?

I heard my father talk about it.

This is why I'm bringing it for him, so he can figure that out.

Hopefully, yes.

You're bloody reckless, Marcus.

Or downright stupid, but...

But you've done well. The company owes you.

Thanks.

I'm going to go now. I will get the team verified on your speed and position.

And I'll check back when you're closer.

Okay.

Sarah, isn't it?

Uh, yes, sir?

Could you call me if any complications should arise before that?

Of course, Mr Getty.

You know, it wasn't your fault.

What? Well, if you thought Brian was dead, how were you to know?

It sounds horrific, all that blood.

It doesn't matter now.

I'm glad you can see some redeeming features in a millionaire sports one,

though. I think you're sweet.

Um, so no more music, eh?

Yeah, um, sorry, just give me a sec.

Okay.

Sorry, I'm back. Just got the doctor's call. He's ready. I'll patch him right

up, okay? His name is Professor Chatterjee. Okay.

Hello, Marcus.

How are you feeling?

I've had better days, obviously.

I've hit my head. I can't remember some details, though.

Let's hope your memory returns shortly.

But even if it doesn't, we have many methods to help you when you get back

Yeah, I know.

That's probably unnecessary, though.

Are you also experiencing disorientation, vision problems?

Yeah, I can't see very far.

I see.

Well, all these things should improve with time. It's likely to be oxygen

toxicity, probably from the station, according to what you told Mr. Getty.

the air seems okay now, though, so... It would explain why your symptoms aren't

getting worse.

I understand you have an open cut on your side too. I've been reading the

transcript on my way here. Is it deep, Marcus?

I didn't see how deep it was before putting the glue in there. I mean, there

a lot of blood.

Okay, did you apply enough to cover all the wounded area?

Yeah. Well, I'm not bleeding anymore, so... Have you used a syringe, Marcus?

No. It's important to make sure it doesn't get infected.

It would be already from the debris that hit you or simply from the clothes

being over it. You need to inject some antibiotics in the area. Right.

There is a syringe with some local anesthetic.

It is in the medikit with the rest.

I just need a moment.

When you found it, stick it near the wounded area.

Brushing the blue end firmly will ready the needle

Yeah,

I

did it

Let's give it a moment. There is painkillers in the mix too, so you

better. You need to try and relax until you get here and not strain yourself.

There's always a danger you might bleed out despite the skin glue.

I'll stay in bed, Doctor.

Is there someone you would like us to call for you next of kin?

That's a good idea. I'll call whoever you want, even if it's some floozy you

like to hang out with.

There's no one.

A familiar voice might help you remember some things. Just my father.

I was going to try and call him again.

Tell him what's happening.

Okay, good.

Let's do it, Marcus.

I'll try him again.

Doctor, I'll disconnect you now. You know how to call him if you need to

in. Yes, I do.

Thanks. He's a bit intense too, isn't he?

What are you going to tell your father, Mike?

Everything? What do you mean?

I mean, you're going to tell him about the wound and, well, I'd be worried

You clearly don't know him.

He's not like that. Plus,

he always knows if you lie to him, so no chance.

I like the drag.

My teenage years would have been very different if my parents were like that.

You won't believe it, but... Anyway, I'm talking too much again. I'll call. Tell

you later.

Sure.

Thank you for contacting the Tyco Corporation.

We are sorry we have been unable to take your call at this time.

If you'd like to leave a message, please... I'll try his other number.

it.

You have reached the voicemail of Giuliano Tyco.

If you would... No, sorry.

Do you know where he would be at this time?

I'll leave a message.

Okay. I'll put you through to it again.

Do you want some privacy?

Please.

How do I connect back?

Your comms are open all the time, unless you close them.

Okay. I'll reconnect when I see the Tyco Court enters out. Thanks.

You have reached the voicemail of Giuliano Tyco.

If you would like to leave a message, please do so after the tone.

Hello, Father?

I'd like to talk to you.

I've been through a lot.

I have the service station black box with me.

I know you suspect some malfunction with the air supply that's caused problems

before, and you've been unable to retrieve the data after the accident, so

risking my life to bring it to you.

And now it seems that Brian survived the accident too, but he's been unable to

establish contact with Earth, so...

I've decided to execute a rescue mission.

I'll see you.

If you could call me back via the Swindon Space Station.

Be good to hear your voice.

Thank you for your message.

I'm sorry you had to leave a message.

He might be asleep still. It's early.

It's fine.

Huh? Marcus, remember to watch your speed.

Sorry.

I'm sure you're in a hurry to get home, but you're going fast enough as it is.

It says 15 knots. I can handle that. Well, it's 15k actually.

Like 8km per second.

Right.

I think what you're doing is incredible. You know?

Very brave.

Hey, and you know what?

You made the news already.

I guess Ray Getty's greasing some wheels in Media Land.

Really? Yeah, hear this.

Marcus Tyco, son of Giuliano Tyco, CEO of Tyco Corp, only known survivor of

mining station evacuation during communication blackout.

This incident is the last one in a series of recent negative company

force the company to bankruptcy and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Anyway,

there's more. There's a video.

Wait, a video? How? An amateur astronomer sold it, I guess.

Silver catcher station.

It's playing.

It's only 20 seconds.

There's an escape pod missing.

Oh my god.

What?

What? Your pod.

Left. Just before... Then the whole station exploded.

Sarah?

I can see the other pod.

You are quite close. I'll get Mr. Getty.

Please.

Professor Chatterjee wants to talk to you again. Mind if I leave you with him?

You have to. I'll be quick, I promise.

Marcus, I was just reviewing all the information available, trying to assess

you may have any long -term damage to the way you process memories.

You're always good news, Professor.

In the video that they are showing, the company shuttle you arrived in doesn't

explode until the pods have set off.

However, you told us that the shuttle had been destroyed in the first

at the side of the station.

This dissociation implies you would have had the chance to leave in it, but

didn't. Most importantly, it suggests possible damage in your cortex. No, it

doesn't. It was all very fast and confusing.

The shuttle may have been there. I don't know. So, I forget some details. So,

what are you trying to say? Why would I lie to you?

Marcus, details are important.

The company will need to know what happened. There you go, sir. It's not

me, is it? Look, I'm sure you normally do an excellent job of harassing the

accident survivors.

For the sake of the company, of course.

But in this case, I'm already bringing back the stupid black box. I told Ray.

I understand, but we have obtained very useful data from brain scans too.

The human brain is a black box in its own way.

I'm not undergoing a painful surgical procedure so that you can justify your

job. It can be a bit unpleasant, yes. But, Marcus, it's a legal requirement

all accidents surviving atrotex. Well, guess what?

I'm not one.

Sorry. Sorry to interrupt. I'm back with Mr. Getty.

Thanks for that.

Professor, I'm afraid we're about to make contact. I need to assist Marcus.

I understand, Marcus.

We'll keep talking later.

Ray, I can see the pod through the front camera.

Yeah, we can see it here, too.

You're quite close.

We want to port your pod in parallel trajectory to pod 2.

I would reduce your speed first.

Keep it just over the 7 mark. The autopilot on the other one stays on 7K,

that will give you speed for a careful, smooth approach.

Once you're there, you'll have to maintain it as close as you can to the

knots. In a perfect world, your velocity relative to pod 2 would be zero, so it

would be as if they're stationary one by the other, so you can take a good look

at it. I understand.

Now, there will be some deviation from the autopilot routes in your trajectory

by now, so we're not sure exactly what side of your pod will face pod two.

Again, we receive rough positions here, so you'll have to judge it for yourself,

so that you'll have working cameras at that side.

Okay? Okay, it was showing at the bottom of the screen, but it disappeared.

That's good. It means that there's enough distance in between you both.

What direction is that?

The bottom and the front camera.

What do you think?

Down. You sure?

Uh, yeah.

That's correct.

Remember the training.

Direction in space is arbitrary.

No up or down.

But it'll be easier to get your bearings if you have the same coordinate system

as the vehicle.

The way you're approaching pod two, you should be able to switch to the camera

below. That should be camera two.

Was that one working? Jack?

Uh...

You know, it isn't... Neither is free.

I could peek through that window if I rotate in the right direction.

It's better to use the cameras. You can zoom in and get more info.

Okay.

Camera one does work. I can use that one.

Okay.

I do, I think.

I remember.

Okay. Cleared for procedure.

I've rotated 90 degrees.

Excellent. Do you have a visual?

I still need to get closer.

Do it gently.

I'm doing it.

I see it. I have a visual. Yes.

Well done, Marcus.

Are both pods aligned?

There will be another.

Let me know when you are. Are you at a safe distance?

I know it's hard to judge, but once you're in parallel, let me know that

of pod 2 you can see.

We'll calculate the distance here based on the focal length of the cameras and

the size of the pods.

Don't zoom in for now.

Okay.

I'm in position.

Okay, Marcus.

Describe what you see.

The other pod takes up about 90 % of my screen. Do you see any material attached

to it? Not from here, no.

Seems to be some damage on the front.

That makes sense. It was probably a hard launch with the station falling apart.

I can't see any more from here, though.

Perhaps I should... Wait.

What? It's rotating, I think. The autopilot keeps it rotating slightly

its axis.

You'll be able to see it all round.

I can see the other side.

It's rotating. The docking side.

Oh. What is it, Marcus?

It seems to be getting closer, but I'm not doing anything.

Marcus, are you in autopilot? Yeah, I switched to the same position.

Marcus, get back to manual now. It's okay, I remember I can... The pods share

the same return route. The autopilot will correct your position until you

crash. Marcus, get back to manual now.

Marcus, do it quick.

There's a delay in the response. Do it now before you crash. Well, I've done

I've done it, but he's not responding.

Push the stick at an angle opposite to the approach. As hard as you can. That

way you'll be ready and moving.

Marcus?

Marcus? Are you okay?

Marcus?

Marcus, how bad was it?

Marcus, Owen.

Marcus?

I'm okay.

Oh, God. It could have been a lot worse.

I seem to have lost them.

Some systems.

Nothing too important, though.

Okay, Marcus, that's good news. Let's go back to the visual inspection.

What do you see on the docking side?

There is some damage to the docking platform.

Some bent metal, dents.

I don't see any sign of any debris, though.

So what do we do now?

We don't.

We've ruled out the little hope we had to find and remove any debris.

I meant about the docking.

The bent parts will make docking imperfect, so the connecting air locks

sealed, which means that the vacuum of space would suck the air out through any

little holes, pin you to the wall and then suck you through those same holes

too.

It's just not possible, Marcus.

I understand.

Think of another plan then.

Marcus, there is no other plan.

Marcus. Well, get back to your team and come up with something, because I am not

giving up on Brian.

Marcus, I have a call from your father. He called back.

Shall I put him through?

You take it, Marcus.

I'll... I'll talk to the team, okay?

Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah.

Patching you through now.

Father?

I don't know why I'm doing this. Doing what?

How are you feeling, Father?

What do you want, Marcus?

Why don't you begin, Father?

You're older, wiser. You probably know what to say in situations such as these.

You called.

I assumed you had something to say.

I'm probably going to die.

Why?

Haven't you been keeping up? Did you not listen to my message?

I'm accepting a high -risk rescue mission.

To save Brian.

So you do know.

I have a team looking into options right now.

I think you made the right decision.

You'll be a hero in the eyes of the media.

I'll see to that with our contacts.

You can at least show some gratitude.

Even Ray Getty's been appreciative of my efforts and what I've tried to do.

He said that I've done well, that the company owes me.

I told him to say that.

Station destroyed.

Most operatives dead.

This is a financial disaster.

Probably the last one Tycho can survive.

I was trying to butter you up before the press.

Had to use the positive side of things while... Well, while you're there.

You never believed in me.

I wanted you, Marcus.

You just never did anything that made me believe.

You had it so easy.

You could have done anything you wanted with your life.

The company could have been yours by now. I tried that, remember? You thought

wasn't good enough.

Trying is not doing.

You didn't really want me anywhere near that company of yours. That's the truth.

And who wants you near Marcus?

You had 24 hours with the station operatives.

Was that enough time for them to want to get away from you too?

Don't cheapen it. I had a more meaningful experience with those people

hours than I've had with you my entire life.

I wasn't the one to fail the test.

If you wanted to be up there, you should have worked harder.

You wanted me to fail, that's why you let me take the training.

You wanted me to get within touching distance of my dream, but never let me

taste it.

If I die, it will be on you.

You are twisted, Marcus.

But I'm your father.

Hey. What?

following the news, who I'm sure are very impressed.

And I'm impressed too, you know?

I think you're... you're a bit of a hero.

Thanks. Yeah.

Listen to this, another news site.

The incredible story of survival of inspiring non -astronaut Marcus Tycho

continues. It has surfaced now that one of the actual astronauts of the station

may be alive too, although reportedly badly injured.

And Marcus is working with the Earth team to attempt an emergency rescue.

They're covering it all over the world.

Wow. Right?

They love you, Marcus.

Yeah.

You're right, Sarah.

When you get back here, you'll be a hero. Like, officially.

And I will have to fight off the bloody paparazzi to get my dinner.

You won't have to.

Not so sure. We'll see.

I can't disappoint you all.

That's not going to happen, Marcus.

Okay.

Get Ray back on, please.

Time is of the essence.

Okay, Marcus.

Here we go.

Ray?

Marcus, how are you doing?

Marcus, has the pain subsided?

Yeah, no, yeah, I'm feeling better. It's a lot better now.

Marcus, I want you to know, as I have the team working on the options already,

but you have to be realistic.

There is a very slim chance this time, and you need to accept that Brian... No,

I know what I'm going to do.

You do?

I'll get closer, and then I'll fire myself across through the emergency

Oh, God, Marcus.

Marcus, that is plain suicide. You don't even have a suit, do you? Well, I'll

improvise one, then.

Out of what? I've got many gloves here. I can duct tape them to my hands, and...

I'll cover my face, too.

You'd last ten seconds.

That's a no.

That could be long enough. If the pods are closed... Tell me how the emergency

airlock controls work.

We are not going to tell you how to kill yourself, Marcus.

Marcus, it's crazy.

That's not going to be an option.

We're not going to let... People need inspiration, Sarah. You've said that.

That's not what I meant.

Ray.

I'm sorry, but... I'm the one up here. I'm doing it.

Figure out a way to get me in that pod or just stay out of my way. Remember the

black box, Marcus.

Right, your gift to this company. To your father.

If you don't make it, he'll lose that too.

Well, maybe he doesn't deserve it.

Marcus, remember you have a very serious wound.

The strain of the jump alone may open it. You can easily bleed out.

I'll be careful. I'm using the decompression as impulse anyway.

That way I won't have to use too much of a physical effort.

Be reasonable, Marcus. Listen to the professor.

Ray. You know Brian well.

You've been to space with him, haven't you? Yes, I have. He's a good man.

Now tell me that if you were in my position, you wouldn't do everything

could to save him.

There is a precedent.

Robert Hill did a similar emergency EVA in 32.

Right. You can turn the autopilot back on.

That will get you closer.

What?

We calculate that you're a distance of about 8 to 9 metres, so the route

correction gives us about 3 to 4 minutes before collision.

I'll put the team together again to get back to you with more instructions.

Thanks, Ray.

And that's it. That's how you handle space missions now. We send people we

like to die.

Sarah, he's made up his mind.

Let's try and remain professional. We can help him maximise his chance of

success. Professional, right.

Marcus, I'll be back.

I hope you are proud of yourself. Sarah.

God, you really want that dinner, don't you? Do you think this is a joke?

Ray? Right, the team is working. We think it might actually work.

Great. But we have to be realistic.

We simply don't have enough information to assess the state of pod 2.

We know there is some power. Since we're able to see it on screen here and

bounce the radio signal off it, so the battery is not completely drained. This

means there should be air and regulated temperature.

But we can't know for sure.

Is there any way we can take care of it, just in case?

If you didn't have air, it would likely be because of power issues.

You bringing a tank is not going to help, and you need to jump away with as

little as possible anyway.

Okay. So what's the plan?

We cannot dock safely, so we're going to stay at a prudential distance.

We don't want the pods crashing and bouncing off each other.

At the exact moment the airlock for pods who is facing you, you are going to

open your airlock, tackle yourself in a straight line.

Sounds feasible.

It is.

If we do it right.

Won't the pod still crash with the autopilot? Yes, it would.

You'll need to switch it off just before you leave. There is a timer you can

press. It's programmed to give you a few minutes before it changes to manual.

Okay, I understand. Great.

How do I open the hatch? From the inside there.

There is a switch to one side of the panel labelled airlock.

It should be over your head.

Okay.

Then there are two large buttons placed inside the airlock. The black one is the

one you must press.

that one will launch you into space black space makes sense from the outside

there is a yellow lever use the camera now find it on pod 2 next time it

in your direction so that you know where it is providing the lever is not

damaged a good pull is all you need to open that then once inside the airlock

should close automatically then you press the other large button the white

black space white inside

Now, Marcus, let's do this.

Let us know the exact moment when the airlock is facing you directly.

We know the autopilot rotation speed, so that will allow us to cue you.

You need it to tell you since you won't have a camera to look at once you're

inside the airlock.

Understood.

It's close.

And... And...

There.

Is there anything else I should know?

Yes. Speed is key. Be quick.

You may lose consciousness in as little as 15 seconds.

And then there is no way anyone can help you.

15 seconds, right?

I can hold my breath for longer than that, right? Not in space, Marcus. Not

without a suit.

Any air you hold in will do you more damage than good once your body starts

experiencing the pressure change.

But I'll have longer. But that air would rapidly expand and rub through your

lungs.

Now, about that suit.

I'd use a skin glue as an additional sealant if you have any left.

That's a good idea, thanks.

Marcus, you also need to think about your other orifices.

My what now?

Do you have a foreskin? Because you might want to seal that up first with

skin glue, and then your anus.

Oh, God, I think I'm going to be sick.

Right, we'll give you a moment. Just let us... No, no, just... Look, let's just

do it.

You do what you've got to do, get ready, and I'll be okay.

Right, I think that's it.

Just so you know, each turn takes about three minutes.

Once you're all set up, just let us know and get in position.

We'll shout you the cue, then you go. Understand?

Yeah, when I hear the cue, I go.

Right, don't delay it or you'll miss it.

Even if you could move around the surface and you can't, you don't have

Okay. What are you taking with you?

Uh, the black box and the medikit.

That's too much. There's no point in bringing the medikit.

There are glass components to it which will get crushed in space.

We'll have to trust the one in part two. Is it good condition? And treat Brian

with that.

Okay. I'm going to pick up the comms as soon as you can. The professor will be

here to help you help Brian.

And yourself if needs be.

There must be another way.

Sarah, I have to do this.

Please don't be mad at me.

Their comms are out.

What if we can't get in contact with you again?

We think it'll work once Marcus picks up from there. But yeah.

There is a risk that we're taking. If the problem was that the comm cables

damaged but the power was enough, then there is a quick fix that we can

but that's all we can do.

I remember how to do that, Ray.

From the training.

Right, that's good.

Sarah, I remember how to do that.

That date means a lot to me too, you know.

Does it?

Really?

Yeah. It's all I can think about.

I hope you tell me the rest of the story about when you were a teenager.

No, it's nothing.

I used to drink my father's liquors and refill them with water.

I wouldn't do for some liquor right now.

You didn't tell me your story either, about your dad.

It's not much of a story.

He used to have an electric toy startup. It was one of his first businesses.

I used to hang around there a lot when I was a kid because he was fun.

I used to get in trouble all the time because I'd steal the unfinished models

and then lie about it afterwards.

You sound like a right brat.

I guess I was a bit.

Anyway, my father once told me that he could always tell when I was lying

because he could see it in my eyes.

So, the next time I took a model, I closed my eyes so he couldn't see

He laughed so hard.

I never made him laugh so hysterically.

Yakby cried.

You're right.

That's not much of a story.

You need to tell me a better one next time.

Oh, I'll have a great one next time.

Okay.

We're getting into the airlock.

Remember to deactivate the autopilot.

Done.

Good luck, Marcus.

Please be careful.

Thanks.

I will.

Marcus, can you hear us?

Hardly.

One minute, get ready.

This is a bad idea.

I'm really sorry, Brain.

Come on, come on, come on, come on.

Help me!

Help me, you have to help me, please. He's not breathing. Marcus?

What do I do?

Marcus, he made it.

Brian, he's not responding.

I'm doing CPR.

Come back to me, Brian. Professor, I'll get the professor.

Hold on, Marcus. I'll put everyone on the comms.

Come on, come back to me. Don't you do this. Don't you dare.

Is that Brian Salas, Marcus?

Yeah, he's not responding. Can you give him adrenaline from your medikit?

Yeah. Look, I'm going to give him a shot.

All right, wait, wait, wait. Come on. Come on, come on, come on.

Oh, Brian. Oh, thank God.

I've got a pulse.

I've got a pulse. Oh, thank God.

Fight, Brian. Come on.

Talk to us, Marcus. We can't see you.

He's still breathing, but he won't wake up.

That's okay, Marcus. We're just stabilizing him.

Okay.

I don't know if it worked.

Check his pulse.

Slow and solid is good.

I can feel it.

I can feel it.

I think he's okay.

Do you think he's going to be okay?

You've done all you can for now.

You've done well, Marcus.

Marcus, how are you? You don't sound good.

I'm okay.

I'm just in a lot of pain.

I might take some more of those painkillers.

That is fine, Marcus. Do it. I'll go send a global surgeon rescue alert for

landing.

Good job, Marcus.

Let's focus on getting the two of you home snap quick. You've done amazing.

So proud.

Thanks. You're all over the news.

I even had the KBNC News 24 wanting to do a live broadcast.

I said that you had more important things to be doing.

Told them to go away.

That's great. Do you think I could... Marcus, let's run through the checklist

first, okay?

See what we can count on in there.

You can't be a hero if you're dead already.

I really hoped we wouldn't have to do it again, you know? I hoped you wouldn't

be alive.

Copy. Marcus, can you hear us?

Hello?

Marcus, what was that?

I touched the wire by mistake.

The comms panel seems to be in a bad state.

Anyway, thanks, everyone.

Ray, I'm going to do the checklist.

Okay.

I start to think you're enjoying scary, Gus.

Sorry, Ray, the airtight looks okay.

Looks like all exterior cameras are down.

It may just be frozen. It's quite cold in here. Is the black box safe, Marcus?

Any cracks or signs of damage?

Can't see any.

That's great news, Marcus. Great... Great news.

Battery's red, though.

Okay, right. We'll do some power calculations.

See what we can do to save that battery until landing.

In the meantime, switch off the camera display and don't touch the controls.

That will save some power for now.

How long until landing?

About three hours now.

You'll be touching the atmosphere very shortly.

No, no, no. Negative.

Brian doesn't have that long. He's bleeding very heavily.

Need to get there faster.

Marcus, the only option... Option to cut the time would be a Vasquez drive, and

it's only been achieved in the simulator.

Not again. He's going to kill himself.

Of course, of course. I could be at a hospital in 25 minutes. You could also

blow up on a re -entry intent, or skip off the atmosphere into deep space if

get the angle wrong within a degree.

We're not going to be able to help you on this one. You'd be on your own.

That's okay.

That's not okay.

Marcus, don't throw your life away.

What's the problem anyway?

Worst case scenario, it's not like we lose a valuable astrotech, and I get to

have done a space mission.

Whatever happens, win -win.

No one's going to miss me anyway, I'll tell you that. Marcus, that's not true.

I can do this.

I can help.

Even if I bleed out, Brian may be able to make it, and that is enough for me.

There must be another way.

Sarah, I need to do this. I've never been more certain of anything in all my

stupid life. There must be another way.

I'm going to try this. It should be wild. You still have some power.

Agreed. What?

What?

What speed did Vasquez do in the simulations? Was it 25k? What are you

Marcus? 25 .2k knots.

Marcus. With the greatest respects, Marcus, you're not a patch on Fernando

Vasquez. I know, right?

But I can... I can fly this.

I'm not going to try to do it. I'm going to do it, okay?

for you from here, buddy.

Just remember your spacecraft is damaged and running out of power. You don't

have very long. Keep your eyes on your angle and put everything you have into

keeping it straight until you can start reducing speed past the hot point. I

will do, Ray. Marcus, wait. And if that battery light starts blinking, you have

minutes of power left, so the best thing to do is... Marcus, that's it. Stop it.

Ray? I've disconnected it.

Now you have no help and you have to stop this nonsense.

I don't need any more help, but the principle's actually quite

Just go really fast and then break with everything I've got.

Straightforward? It's never been done.

Why are you doing this? You're nearly home.

I didn't know Brian would be hurt so badly.

Forget Brian!

I can't!

What am I going to tell his wife? Tell her Brian died.

You did everything you could to save him.

Marcus, if you deflect off into space, you'll die.

And so be it.

You said it meant a lot to you.

Sarah, you gave me so much then today.

I couldn't have done this without you. You know that, right?

I... I don't know what to say.

Marcus... Don't say anything.

Just... See you soon.

On the other side.

Okay.

Hey, you know that interview you mentioned?

I'd like to do it.

Really? Yeah.

Keep my spirits up, don't you think?

Maybe. Sure. If you want to, I'll call them back.

Thanks, Sarah.

It means a lot.

Listen, I need to go now.

But Sarah, I... I'll see you at the other side, Marcus.

Marcus, before we disconnect, I have to ask you... What are you still doing

here?

You know I'm playing with my life right now, right? Marcus, I need to ask... Is

there anything else you remembered about what happened at the station? No, like,

no, there's not.

This isn't out of the air. I don't remember what happened. I don't remember

of the details. It's just all blurry, okay?

It's consistent after such a traumatic experience. That's why it didn't make

sense. Don't even mention it.

I'm not an astrotech.

I'm not going to do it. I don't have to and I won't.

I'm sorry to hear.

Marcus, perhaps...

No one needs to know their details anyway, do they?

But there is much that I've got to say to you.

That's all they need to know.

I can do it, Brian.

I know I can.

I'm good with it. No one wants me to be, but I am.

Don't look at me like that.

I'm not a bad person.

It doesn't have to be me.

They take the fat box to my father. It has to be me.

Not you.

I said, Father, this is my gift to you.

The gift that only I could bring. Not the user of the text.

Not Brian.

Brian couldn't.

Brian.

Brian.

You'll know, Brian.

We always don't.

Hello? Marcus?

Marcus, we can see your position here. You seem to be in orbit.

I know.

I'll talk to the team, see if we can come for you before... Ray, no, Ray,

It's too late.

I have no battery left. I won't make it.

I'm sorry, Marcus. I shouldn't have let you do it.

It was my decision.

Hey, look, thanks for all your help anyway, yeah?

I wish I could do more.

I'd like to speak to Sarah before I... Of course.

I'll disconnect.

Marcus?

Marcus, it's been a pleasure to work with you.

Likewise.

Sarah?

Sarah?

What have you done?

What?

Sarah?

How are you holding up?

Um... I'd rather not talk about it. Yeah, sure.

Sarah, please don't be angry at me. I had to... I have the interview guys

waiting. I should probably patch them up, shouldn't I? Well, I am running low

juice. I'll put them through.

but one of the producers. Can you hear us okay? Yeah, I can hear you, Rob.

Okay, great. We're 60 seconds to air. We're very excited about this.

Marcus, what you've done is absolutely incredible.

I just wanted to say we've been told I'm really sorry the re -entry didn't work.

Thanks.

But Marcus, you need to know everyone down here is hooked by your story.

And after tonight, that story will truly be out there to inspire people. You

know that, right?

Thank you.

Rob, you have no idea how much time we have.

Excellent. Now let me tell you how we're going to do this.

We're going to first put you through to Liam and the rest of the team on the

set. And then we will tell you what kind of questions we'll be asking and how

the segment will be structured.

We'll be recording live with just a five -second delay. You'll be able to have

some time before the actual recording.

Marcus? Marcus?

Marcus?

Is everything definitely okay on our end?

It's not a technical issue.

We are getting a signal from space control.

I don't understand.

Marcus?

Have you tried talking with them? Yeah.

I just can't get through.

Marcus?

Marcus, we can't hear you.

Please, say something.

Say something if you're receiving us.

I'm here.

Marcus, are you still there?

I am.

He's not, Rob.

We've lost him. No, Sarah, I'm still here.

No, you're not.

I am, Sarah. I think I've lost him.

You've lost everyone.

Can you try again?

I still have a few more minutes. I disconnected them.

Oh.

You're angry with me.

Did you ever even have memory loss?

What? Maybe a little.

But you made most of it up, didn't you?

I... I don't know what you mean. Yes, you do. You lying shit.

Your comms were on while you talked to Brian.

And I couldn't... I couldn't help listening in.

You couldn't... help you?

Yourself Oh

You

thought they wouldn't ask you about what you did didn't you

if you said you didn't remember They

wouldn't ask you about how you killed Brian, so that you'd

bring back the black box.

And the company shuttle.

Of course it didn't explode.

You could have taken it to Earth, right?

But you wanted to look like a hero.

The pod was better for that.

Right?

Your father was right, Marcus.

You are twisted.

I just wanted to... I just wanted to do something.

And why, Marcus?

Are you really that much of a daddy's boy?

You really that pathetic?

I didn't mean to kill Brian.

I just wanted the black pocket. Before you take your last breath, I want you to

know I'm not only taking your big news moment away from you, I'm getting back

those interviewers right after this.

And I'll make sure that everyone knows the truth.

Everyone. Please.

People. They're all I have. Good.

Because you don't deserve any of them.

No, I...

I see you on the darkest road. It's one

I know too well.

A lonely place to dwell so late at night.

And don't let go.

Sometimes it gets so hard.

Can't find a helping hand To pick you up

And when the cold winds

blow Across the two -foot snow

Even though

See you soon again, I know.

Well, I know it won't be long till I'm back where I belong, right here

with you.

And when the cold winds blow across the two

-foot snow, even though...

So don't let go, while I see you on the darkest

road. Now all the lights are gone, and when I'm driving home,

I'll pick you up.

Even though...
