Advise them, advise me. Tell me what's going on. 82 00:07:34,204 --> 00:07:37,874 You'll find that out for yourself as soon as you arrive on Terra. 83 00:07:37,958 --> 00:07:40,001 In the meantime, let me counsel you 84 00:07:40,085 --> 00:07:42,796 not to be alarmed if the people you encounter 85 00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:45,840 seem to think of you as someone they know. 86 00:07:46,716 --> 00:07:48,510 How's that again? 87 00:07:48,593 --> 00:07:51,763 You haven't time to build up a credibility on Terra 88 00:07:51,846 --> 00:07:53,932 so we're borrowing someone else's. 89 00:07:54,015 --> 00:07:56,184 A warrior who's missing. 90 00:07:56,267 --> 00:07:59,270 - Missing in combat, I think you call it. - What happened to him? 91 00:07:59,354 --> 00:08:03,984 He's being held captive on Lunar One. He'll eventually escape. 92 00:08:04,067 --> 00:08:07,612 Though I should mention that he's a bit of a scoundrel. 93 00:08:07,696 --> 00:08:10,365 But he's all we've got to work with. 94 00:08:10,448 --> 00:08:14,285 So make allowances if you're not the most popular man on Terra. 95 00:08:14,369 --> 00:08:17,622 I'm dreaming all this. I'm in my ship in a state of flight slumber 96 00:08:17,706 --> 00:08:20,875 and when I wake up I'll realise this was all a dream. 97 00:08:20,959 --> 00:08:22,711 Excellent idea. 98 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,679 Wow.

A long-range distress signal. That's got to be Apollo. 102 00:08:50,697 --> 00:08:54,951 There's no way he could have overflown our scanners in the time he's been... 103 00:08:55,035 --> 00:08:59,497 There it is. Boomer, good Lord. 104 00:08:59,581 --> 00:09:02,292 It's coming from the wrong direction 105 00:09:02,375 --> 00:09:06,171 and it must be beyond any chance of having the fuel to get back. 106 00:09:06,254 --> 00:09:11,134 Let's just pray that the fleet picks up my beacon and follows me. 107 00:09:11,217 --> 00:09:14,220 - Follows you? I'm coming with you. - You can't. 108 00:09:14,304 --> 00:09:17,057 You have to take command. 109 00:09:17,140 --> 00:09:20,685 Continue our primary mission.

Certainly nothing that makes any sense. 116 00:10:01,017 --> 00:10:04,062 I'll kill him. I will kill him. 117 00:10:04,145 --> 00:10:07,357 Not a word in six weeks and he has the nerve to call me up 118 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,401 in the middle of the night to come and pick him up! 119 00:10:10,485 --> 00:10:16,241 Oh, man!
