- We're clear for entry?

- You're clear, Pacific.

Decrease entry speed and proceed to bay two.

- Copy that.

- You're exceeding entry speed,

reduce power.

Pacific, reduce power immediately.

Do you read me, over?

- Don't get your shorts in a knot.

- Didn't read that, repeat.

- Cal. - Yeah, dad?

- How fast were you going?

I mean, that could've been really dangerous.

- I know.

I was going a little too fast, okay?

I'm sorry.

- Flight crew now unloading on bay 12.

- ElectroCorp working for a powerful future.

- Pointsmen removal crew

proceed to gate three.

- Hey, Carrot!

- Pointsmen are your friends.

- Nice grab, slick.

I'll talk to you later.

You back from the ice?

- Yeah, just.

Hey, how much does this go for nowadays, 20 credits?

- 22.

See anything interesting out there?

- Ice and more ice.

- Hey, stupid, you're not suppose to eat the peel.

Geez!

I have to take care of your education.

- I need that like a hole in the head.

- So we're going tonight, right?

The cabaret people just arrived.

Did you know that you have two muscles right here and here?

Yeah, I didn't know.

They're called the zygomaticus muscles

and they're primarily used for smiling.

- Kurt, let's just go to the cabaret.

- Yeah, fine, brilliant.

- This doesn't make any sense.

The drones indicated there was a strong chance

of finding geothermal fuel there.

- I spent 65 hours on the ice, sir.

I drilled to a depth of 1,000 meters, nothing.

The deeper I went, the colder the readings.

- You realize, of course,

construction of the new station has already begun?

Any suggestions?

- What did the survey team say, sir?

- That the section you were digging in

had the highest probability of finding

a geothermal fuel source.

- That is what I believed.

But I haven't found any yet.

I will continue my search, sir.

What is the status of the rail link to the northern sector?

- It's navigable.

- Because when it was a nation-state up there--

Why do you laugh?

- Oh, you and your attachment to the old world.

- Call me a romantic,

or a fool.

- The old world's dead.

It died with the sun.

We have 400,000 kilowatt hours left of energy.

After that this station starts powering down.

And if you don't find us a place where we can relocate.

- We will go the way of the dinosaurs.

- And the horses, and the chickens, and the rest, Mr. Ragg.

Do you understand?

All the rest.

- Cal.

Cal.

- Oh yeah!

Oh yeah!

- Oh, Cal Ragg.

You can't fall in love with her.

She's part of the cabaret troops,

she's gonna be gone in a couple of weeks.

Out of here.

You'll be back to being miserable again.

This was not a good idea.

This girl is binary information.

She's not real.

She's unreliable, suggestive data,

just like your own feelings.

You don't wanna fall in love with binary information, right?

Right?

- You coming?

- Nah, I think I'm gonna wait and see if she has a sister.

- Your future is brighter ElectroCorp.

- Hear me.

It will return.

It's the sun!

It was the sun!

Did you see it?

Did you feel the warmth?

- I saw nothing!

- It was light from the sun.

I saw it!

- Take him away.

- It was light of the sun!

Light!

- Did you see it, dad?

- See what?

- The light.

- Oh.

I heard there was some kind of incident

of civil unrest on the platform.

You okay?

- Civil unrest?

- Yeah.

A riot.

- There was no riot.

- What happened?

- I dunno.

- Damn.

Special session of the government council.

I have to go.

- Dad.

I saw something.

There was this light that I've never seen before with...

With warmth.

- You were too many hours on the ice.

Plays havoc with the vision, you know that.

- Did you call this meeting?

- No, why?

- I thought perhaps you had some good news

about your recent exploration.

Palidor says he believes there's five years worth

of geothermal power in that sector.

- Well Palidor is wrong.

- That remains to be decided.

Governor Cleary, are we ready to begin?

- Yes.

This is merely an information session

on the incident on the main platform.

- Lieutenant Damien, are we in control of that incident?

- Yes, sir.

We have detained five citizens

from Grand Star's main platform.

- What was it about?

- We had to reduce our power supply to sectors L-2

and L-7.

Apparently the troublemakers were inhabitants

of those sectors.

- Governor Cleary,

you're going to have to make it absolutely clear

to the population of Grand Star Station

that power rationing is going to be a reality

unless our scientists manage to find us new power resources

to employ.

- CEO Palidor, was the power rationing the only cause

for this incident?

I heard something about a mysterious light.

- A mysterious light?

Well, well, well, well, well, what could that be?

Come on, Ragg, you're the scientist,

why don't you explain?

- I did have the privilege of being present

when the incident took place, sir.

- There was nothing mysterious about that light.

It was the result of a static discharge in generator four.

The electricity reacted with the lower particles

of the atmosphere,

apparently it was quite a sight.

Now if that's everything, thank you very much,

and goodbye.

- Relax and enjoy the great indoors.

Pointsmen to garage eight.

Pointsmen to garage eight.

- Hey, Cal.

I had an explanation for what you saw.

- Oh yeah?

- Yeah, one of the generators gave off a static discharge.

- Oh.

- You don't believe that?

- No, I didn't say that,

it's just you gave me that look you do every time

I ask what happen to mom.

- What do you mean?

- You know, the don't ask questions look?

- Listen, Cal, you can ask me questions whenever you like.

I'm your father.

- Questions don't mean anything

if there's never any answers.

- Cal, your mother is dead.

Nothing you can say or I can say is gonna bring her back.

What other answers do you want?

- That's okay, dad.

You know, I always told myself there'd be a day

where you'd be honest with me.

I'll just wait for that.

- Hey.

- Hey, does your mom still have access

to Grand Star's engine control mainframe?

- Yeah, it's one of her classified accounts.

What do you want?

- Look, I saw a train of heavily armed Pointsmen

leave Grand Star about an hour ago on track 24.

I wanna know where they're going.

- Why?

- Just curious.

- This is highly illegal or awfully.

- Okay, that's the Pointsman train.

- Looks like it took a spare line off of 24,

like, 20 kilometers from there.

- What are they looking for?

- Why are you suddenly so interested in this?

What's going on with you?

- Kurt!

- Yeah, in here.

- Oh, hello, Cal.

I saw your father.

He didn't have much luck with his exploration.

Such a shame.

Now CEO Palidor is talking about further power cuts.

By the way,

I'd like to invite you and your father over for dinner.

- Actually, Kurt and I are going to the cabaret tonight.

- Oh, really?

We could all go, all four of us.

Make it a family affair.

- That'd be great.

You know my dad's not gonna go, right?

- Okay, good, she won't go either then.

By the way, she doesn't have a sister.

- What? - Suki.

- Suki?

- The girl from the cabaret with the bendy body.

No sister.

- Suki, huh?

- Hey, do you wanna come and have dinner

with me and my buddy?

His name is Cal Ragg and I'm Kurt Masters.

- Shouldn't you boys be in bed by now?

- Pointsmen to main platform.

Code white.

Pointsmen to main platform. - Steady, boys.

Take it easy.

Straight ahead.

- It's beyond reason, beyond logic,

beyond any rational analytical acceptable system of thought.

- I told you, if you wanna stay, you can stay.

- Oh yeah, I'm suppose to let you just go on your own?

I'm your best friend, remember?

- I just wanna see what the Pointsmen are up to.

- Why?

Can you give me a single good reason?

Whatever the Pointsmen are doing is none of our business.

- Are you ready to do this?

- Yeah.

- Cal!

Damn.

- Hey, I wanted to talk to you.

Suki, are you really interested in her?

'Cause, I dunno, if you're not then I can see myself

kinda giving it a try.

That is, if I wasn't afraid that she would eat me up

and spit me out.

- She would.

- Yeah.

We should get back to Grand Star, Cal.

- Come on.

- Cal, this can't be good.

Hey!

Hey, this one's breathing!

- Are you all right?

Are you okay?

Can you move?

- Who are you?

- Cal Ragg from Grand Star Station.

- Save.

- Okay, we'll get you to a hospital, all right?

- It's too late for that.

But I saw it.

- Hey, save your breath.

- Did you?

- I don't know what you're talking about.

- The sun.

The sun.

- Why are the Pointsmen after you?

- Because we're warriors.

We fight for the truth.

And we are the Renewers of the sun.

- Just rest.

You'll be all right, I promise.

We're taking her back.

- To Grand Star?

Are you nuts?

- What, you wanna leave her to die?

- Stop asking me hard questions.

- She saw the sun.

- There is no sun!

- I saw it.

- I'll pretend that I didn't hear that, for your sake.

- Look, I've seen electrical storms before.

That was not one.

- Yeah and there is no sun, not anymore.

- Okay, maybe not, but she saw something!

And I'm gonna find out what it was.

- Cal,

what if she is telling the truth?

- The truth?

No big deal.

I mean, if she is telling the truth it's just that,

anything that our parent's has told us is a lie.

And the government and Palidor has told us is a lie.

Everything that we've been taught

in those government education centers is garbage.

Our history, who we are now, is all crap.

- Then we should get her back.

- Yeah.
