(dramatic, suspenseful music)

Is Zephryn meeting with the council?

Go in there and tell him I have what he asked for.

He'll know what it means.

Car, the probe relay, anything new yet?

No Captain, but it's still proceeding

in the same direction, following the ion traces.

Once the trail grows stronger, we'll know

for certain we're on the proper course.

I'll call you the minute the telemetry probe comes in.

You really should sleep.

What's the use?

I'll just wake up to this nightmare again.

I can't lose Percy to the raiders.

I can't.

CARAVAGGIO: Incoming transmission.

From who?

CARAVAGGIO: Sent 17 hours ago.

Please wait while I decode.

Come on, Car.

CARAVAGGIO: Playing message.

Hi Dante.

I asked them to let me send you a message

to let you know that I'm okay.

I'm okay.

I'm sorry I made such a mess in your room

but you really should clean your lockers more often.

You might find something you weren't even looking for.

In the meantime, I'm gonna be finding something

that you were looking for.

See ya.

What do you think?

I'll check my quarters.

(dramatic music)

Zephryn wants a DNA test on the girl, just to be sure.

See to it.

(tense, eerie music)

Why would she take that?

(tense, eerie music)

(creaking)

(bold, dramatic music)

(gun firing)

(sparks sizzling)

(exploding)

(lasers firing)

(adventurous music)

(dramatic music)

(door opening)

Zephryn has agreed to see you.

I'm not interested in meeting your supreme guru.

That's not why I came here.

It is a great honor to meet the leader.

Zephryn is not like anyone you've ever met before.

Yeah.

SALOMEA: He has extraordinary gifts.

Yeah.

He can see time.

That's good for him.

Just let me see my cousin.

Zephryn requested you submit to a DNA scan,

just to verify your identity.

Who else would I be?

Who would want to come here to a gathering

of the worst scum of the universe?

No offense.

Oh my god.

Where?

DANTE: My quarters.

Percy put it there.

But where'd she get them from?

I don't know.

Car?

CARAVAGGIO: Captain.

Can you scan this?

Tell me what the hell's inside?

CARAVAGGIO: I'm afraid not,

unless you remove them from that container.

It was clearly designed to prevent any type of scan.

LUC: I wouldn't.

What about this?

GB275692.

Can you run a search on that?

CARAVAGGIO: Searching.

(dramatic music)

(electronic beeping)

Wouldn't it be funny if I'm not who I think I am?

CARAVAGGIO: Downloading.

Jesus, look at all that stuff.

(sighing) So it returned all the possible matches

for those letters and numbers.

Caravaggio, refine the search.

CARAVAGGIO: Parameters?

Oh, agricultural products, terraforming.

These don't look like any plant seeds I've ever seen.

LUC: Yeah, but it's the most logical place to start.

(tense, dramatic music)

Car, what's the status on that probe?

Still following the ion trace, captain.

A few fluctuations, but no significant change.

What the hell is taking you so long?

This is useless, I'll never get through this,

there's just too much data.

Okay, Caravaggio come on, let's try something else.

Search on the numeric sequence only, and then the letters.

Travis?

I'm not called that anymore.

Captain, the probe's telemetry indicates that

we've picked the shuttle's ion trail.

Car, adjust course, increase speed to 7, 0.

(dramatic, tense music)

Are you Travis or not?

My Raider name is Zephryn.

If this some kind of Raider joke, I'm not amused.

I am your cousin, Percy.

Well then why don't we do a DNA test on you,

and then we'll talk about it?

Yes, of course, if that's what you want.

(tense music)

Will you please get a technician from the medical bay,

we need a DNA scan.

There are other ways I can prove it to you.

Like?

I remember everything.

Nothing in agricultural or tereforming databases.

The numeric sequence doesn't seem to have

any significance at all.

Suggestions?

Car, try non-agricultural resources.

What're you thinking?

I don't know, cloud seeding, aquaculture, viral,

stuff like that.

Search.

Just a moment, the probes telemetry is coming in.

It's definitely closer to the shuttle now.

The ion trail is marked lithigon.

Got him.

Car, increase speed to 95.

(dramatic music)

The subcouncil meeting's on the 15th.

Ah, I'd like a word with you Salomea.

Do you like to raise plants?

Your mother loved it.

She spent all her time in the garden

while you were at school.

She let me help sometimes.

She'd never let me touch your garden.

You were very territorial, you know.

Where was my garden?

In the southeast corner of the backyard,

next to the little pond.

You had snapdragons planted there.

All different colors.

That's true, I did.

You told me they'd bite my fingers off

if I tried to pick them.

You used to pretend you were an explorer.

One time you were off exploring in the woods,

took your dad's GPS unit,

and dropped it in the pond by accident, remember?

He never knew what happened to it.

How do you know what happened to it?

I was there.

Yeah, but you would've been a baby when that happened.

I told you, I remember everything.

I remember you running through our yard

when the Raiders came.

You were crying.

Your house was on fire.

That's okay, I believe you.

I often wish the Raiders had taken you too.

I wouldn't have felt so alone.

Car, the visual's gone offline.

Is that probe still relaying anything?

CARAVAGGIO: No, captain.

I don't know what happened, it simply stopped.

Maintain current course and speed,

follow the probe, we'll find 'em.

Dante, we don't know what we're heading into here.

They've killed my wife, they stole my son,

they're not taking Percy, no.

(dramatic music)

Why did you do it, why did you go to Montana's ship?

And then to bring the girl back here.

I went because Zephryn asked me to.

And as for the girl, I needed her.

She knows how to operate the device Zephryn wanted.

It was very poor judgment on his part, and yours.

He should have told me what he was planning.

Why?

So you could've talked him out of it?

I have a right to know what he's doing,

I'm his advisor and his father.

You have no authority over me.

My duty is clear, I was trained from childhood

to be the leader's protector.

Oh, and what could you possibly protect him from?

You.

ZEPHRYN: Have you heard enough?

Yep.

Dismissed.

Go ahead, I don't mind,

if you still feel you need this kind of proof.

I don't care.

(dramatic, suspenseful music)

Caravaggio try long-range sensors now.

CARAVAGGIO: Scanning.

We're picking up signs of a vessel,

no several vessels, captain.

Plot a course.

Let's go get 'em.

(tense, suspenseful music)

Captain, I'm now able to detect the vessels

on our short-range scanners.

Close enough to get an ID, Car?

Yes, but I can't seem to get one, let me try again.

LUC: GB275692.

What?

GB is Ghana Biochemical.

Remember the Orchard was funding that project for them,

that whole mess with Stephen Hamilton.

Hamilton, atmosphere manipulation.

Yep.

The Orchard and the Raiders are after the same thing.

Could they be in on it together?

The way things are going at the Orchard,

anything's possible.

Why don't you call your friend at the Orchard,

see what he can find out.

I might be able to access some information myself.

Captain, I cannot identify a single vessel in this group,

and it's rather a large one.

They are effectively blocking ID scans.

Raiders.

You don't seem very surprised by the things I told you.

Why do you have such a good memory?

I don't know, that's why I have to talk to Penny.

I think she did this to me.

I hate to break it to you--

(door opening)

'cuse me.

Certainly.

Are you sure you want to do this?

I've waited a long time for answers, Salomea.

(dramatic, suspenseful music)

I'm narrowing down the Orchard's databases,

trying to isolate the right research files.

Why don't you go right to Navarre?

I don't trust the communications channel anymore.

And I don't want to risk alerting

the wrong people if I don't have to.

(electronic squeaking)

Look.

(sighing) Even a heavily-armed special forces ship

would hesitate to go in there, Dante.

Well I'm not gonna hesitate, I'm goin' to get Percy.

Now that I know I have what they want,

I might be able to find Travis.

And if that ain't worth gamblin' everything on,

I don't know what is.

But listen Luc, you don't have to go.

You wanna get off this ship right now, it's okay.

Just get on the shuttle and go.

I'm not asking you to risk your life.

It's my family, it's my fight, not yours.

Forget it.

After everything that's happened,

all the times I've endangered you and Percy

because of the Orchard.

Loyalty has its limits, Luc.

Dante, I have spent the better part of my life

being loyal to a father and a cause

I've never fully understood.

This is real, and it involves people that I care about.

So clearly, the risks are worth taking, so I'm in.

I'm in.

The seeds, will soon be in our possession.

Our nation will be restored to its former glory,

and once again be a formidable power in the universe.

But we must proceed slowly, and with caution.

I'll keep you apprised of the situation as it develops.

Meeting adjourned.

(tense music)

Dante Montana's ship is within hailing distance.

How do we proceed?

I'll handle Montana,

it's a simple matter of making a deal.

But you don't know for sure that he has the seeds.

Oh, he has them.

And we have his son and niece as bargaining tools.

How can you talk about Zephryn that way?

As though he was just means to an end.

Don't be so childish.

Zephryn is well aware of the importance

of this transaction, and his role in it.

Now go and fetch him, bring him to me.

(solemn music)

I guess they rescheduled the gathering

when Bramwell disrupted it, huh?

Unless something more important is going on.

Security doesn't seem very tight.

They let us get awfully close.

CARAVAGGIO: Captain, you are being hailed.

Here we go.

All right Car, open the channel.

SENECA: Dante Montana.

Yes.

You have me at a disadvantage.

I'm Seneca, of the Igus Jomar clan.

I don't care what clan you're from.

Oh really.

I believe you have members of my family aboard your ships,

I've come to take them back, both of 'em.

And what can you offer me in return, captain?

Are you interested in these?

Should I be?

They are the seeds you've been looking for.

I was hoping you'd say that.

How do I know you're telling the truth?

Well I guess you'll have to trust me.

That's asking rather a lot.

How bad do you want the seeds?

How bad do you want your son?

I see we have a deal.

I'll send a shuttle to bring you to our ship,

you will give me the seeds, and then,

you will see your family.

No, you bring my family here, then I give you the seeds.

Oh Captain Montana, you're in our territory now

and in no position to set terms.

You have far too much to lose.

You have used this before.

Not actually.

ZEPHRYN: Yes, you have.

Aunt Penny.

That's right.

Dante uses a special disk with this,

he carries it with him.

Past sight allows you to see what

has become important in the present.

Thank you for your help, Percy.

Let's be absolutely clear about this, Seneca.

I give you the seeds, you give me my niece.

And my son.

Um-hum.

That little canister you're holding,

it's an inconsequential price to pay to

reunite your family, isn't it, Montana?

It is.

So you will bring me the seeds?

How can I be sure you'll keep your side of the deal?

You ask me to trust you,

you must therefore afford me the same trust.

You have my word you will come to no harm.

And you may keep the seeds until you see Travis.

Dante.

You may turn the seeds over in Travis presence,

will you agree to that?

Yes.

Good!

Then I'll send a shuttle to collect you.

Fine.

Oh, and Captain Montana, you will come alone.

Yes.

You'll not be permitted to board our vessel

with weapons or communication devices of any kind,

do you understand?

Yes.

You may send a message to your crew when you arrive

to assure them of your safety.

I believe you received such a message from your niece.

We did.

You see captain, you and I have come to a

civilized agreement.

We Raiders we're, not the barbarians you believed us to be,

are we?

You wanna prove your humanity, give back my son.

It's not long now, captain.

(solemn, tense music)

This'll be a very interesting meeting.

You, Zephryn, and his real father.

I am Zephryn's real father.

Dante Montana means nothing to him now.

But you must realize that Dante's

expecting to take Zephryn with him.

Well let him think that, it works to our advantage.

Aren't you the least bit concerned about

how this will effect Zephryn?

Don't underestimate him, he's not the average child.

Zephryn understands that his fate is entwined with

that of the Raiders.

He's our leader, and our guide.

You believe only what suits your purpose.

These other issues are insignificant

in comparison to the seeds.

I caught the end of your little speech earlier.

SENECA: Yes.

I find it interesting that you of all people

should advise the council to proceed

slowly and with caution.

You've devoted your entire life to

pursing the dream of a Raider home world,

and these seeds are the key.

Yes.

So why on the brink of fulfilling the dream

would you suddenly suggest it's time for moderation?

Therein lies the difference between

youth and experience.

The eve of a great victory is no time to

throw caution to the winds.

History abounds with tales of

battles lost through sheer arrogance.

I will not make that mistake.

(dramatic music)

Dante Montana will be here very soon.

Time is at hand, this is the right thing.

Zephryn, this will be the first time you'll see Dante.

Not exactly.

In a long time.

I'm worried about Seneca, what he might do.

He seems way too relaxed about all this,

considering the implications.

What's to stop him from taking the seeds from Dante

immediately and then killing him?

Seneca won't do that.

SALOMEA: Why not?

'Cause you'll be with the welcoming committee,

and he'll know I sent you.

Seneca isn't afraid of me.

Perhaps not, but he's afraid of me.

(eerie music)

I'm unarmed, don't you think you're over-compensating?

Better to be safe than sorry.

The seeds.

My son, that's the deal.

That's hardly necessary,

unless you're planning an execution.

I was simply being cautious, Salomea.

Put away your guns.

Welcome, Captain Montana.

Caravaggio, how did you find this?

CARAVAGGIO: It's an e-journal, published by

a very obscure scientific society.

Huh, the guys who wrote this article,

they're both employed by Ghana Biochemical.

They think that seeding atmospheres

is an alternative to tereforming.

Cheaper, faster, and feasible in

any environment in the universe, hm.

They couldn't get the funding to carry out the trials.

Til the Orchard got wind of it.

Are they referring to the same seeds

that Dante has in his possession?

Huh, nothing specific here to confirm that.

Hm.

Access code, crossing rubicon.

Requesting immediate transmission of all

research files related to Ghana Biochemical.

(tense, dramatic music)

NAVARRE: Luc.

Do you have the information?

NAVARRE: Never mind all that, I have something

even more critical to tell you.

Tosca knows what's going on, she's already dispatched

a heavily-armed vessel to follow the Tulip.

But why, seeds?

NAVARRE: No, it's Travis she's after.

Travis?

Dante's about to give her the perfect chance to get him

without having to take on the Raiders.

Dante is in serious danger, end transmission.

Caravaggio, power up the shuttle for immediate departure.

CARAVAGGIO: Where are you going?

LUC: I'm going to get Dante.

(serious music)

DANTE: You all right?

Mm-hm.

I found Travis, but I don't think he's what you expected.

DANTE: Travis?

I've been called Zephryn for many years.

I'm not really Travis anymore.

I've called this man father for most of my life.

What should I call you?

PERCY: Call him Dante.

Will you be comfortable with that?

Caravaggio, if I'm not back in 12 hours,

contact Navarre, tell him where we are.

CARAVAGGIO: There should be a crew member on board

in these circumstances.

Caravaggio I have no choice.

Have all systems ready to go, including weapons,

and be prepared for an immediate departure

when everyone's back on board.

CARAVAGGIO: What if nobody comes back?

Oh don't worry, we'll be back.

Are you now prepared to turn over the seeds?

You're disgusting.

You show no feeling, no respect for your son

and what this means to him.

You lecture me about respect?

I suggest you learn the limits

of your responsibility, Salomea.

You're not my--

Enough.

(tense, serious music)

Plenty of time for that, father.

(dramatic music)

I must tell you how grateful we are that you have

brought the seeds to us.

My people will not forget your gift.

Your people?

Zephryn is our leader.

Leader of the Raiders?

My son has very special abilities.

I will explain all that to Dante myself,

when the time is right.

The seeds represent the beginning of a

new era for the Raiders.

We intend to recolonize our ancestral homeland.

Your moon was wiped out in the Seventh Wars.

No, not that settlement.

Our true ancestral homeland, earth.

Earth is barely habitable.

Have you ever heard of atmospheric manipulation, Dante?

DANTE: Yes.

We will be the first to use it.

Our nomadic existence will come to an end.

The Raiders really wanna settle, to colonize?

Earth.

They won't do it, it's not in their nature.

This life was forced upon us.

The seeds will change all that.

It is my mission, my soul purpose,

to bring peace to my people.

It is my destiny.

(deep, solemn music)

Salomea, will you please take Percy

back to her quarters now.

Wait a minute, no.

Please, I only wish for some time alone with you.

Percy can rejoin us later.

Whatever.

(slow, solemn music)

Do you feel I am a stranger to you?

No.

No, not even after all that's happened.

I still feel connected to you.

Like I understand all this and I don't know why.

It's because there is a connection, beyond the biological.

It's been there all along.

I wasn't imagining it?

No, I've always known where you were, what you were doing.

Why didn't you contact me?

There were things I had to do.

When the seeds became a reality,

things were set in motion

that I had to find a way to change.

What do the seeds have to do with me?

I knew that eventually, those seeds would bring you to me.

When the time was right.

I need your help.

Scott is on her way.

We've scanned her shuttle, confirmed she's coming unarmed.

I want you to go to the airlock

and dispose of her, immediately.

Then we'll deal with the Montanas.

They can't be allowed to leave.

(dramatic music)

This is surreal, all of it.

The time is at hand, and that is why you are here now.

What're you talkin' about?

The Divinity Cluster.

I don't understand.

Penny conducted experiments on me.

You must've known about it.

That's ridiculous.

You must face what you and Penny did,

the consequences of her actions.

Whoever told you that's a liar.

Your mother was a respected biogeneticist

and she never did anything unethical.

You're wrong.

I have her research files.

Those files were lost, how could you have them?

I had them stolen from the Orchard.

She was working for them, trying to isolate the

components of the Divinity Cluster genes.

No, it wasn't like that.

The evidence doesn't change because

you wish it was different.

Travis.

TRAVIS: Zephryn.

You can't believe anything you get from the Orchard.

Your mother loved you, she would never

do anything to hurt you.

Let me talk to her.

I'm here to see Montana.

(gun firing)

Come with me.

Percy and your captain are in serious danger.

Who the hell are you?

Just shut up and come with me.

(tense music)

Give me the disk.

Come back to the Tulip with me.

You're not ready for this.

Look, we have to talk, you have to be prepared for this.

I'm capable of handling far more than this.

I've experienced multidimensional space.

I have abilities you can't imagine.

Give me the disk.

No.

Not until I think you're ready.

I'm sorry.

(tense music)

(door opening)

Hey.

What're you doing here?

Nice to see you too, where's Dante?

I'll find him, just take Percy and get off this ship

before Seneca has you killed.

And what'd you care?

Zephryn wouldn't want any harm to come to you.

LUC: And why should I believe you?

Because there are only two Raiders aboard this

bloody ship who want to protect you, and I'm one of them.

LUC: Hm, Seneca have the seeds already?

Yes, but you're the only ones who know he has them,

and he wants to keep it that way.

Yeah, well we might have a bigger problem,

the Orchard's following us.

Great.

SALOMEA: What do they want?

Well they know that Dante's looking for Travis,

and they were just biding their time

knowing that he would eventually lead them here.

I have to warn Zephryn.

Yeah, we've gotta go get Dante, get off this ship.

Uh, we need a plan.

Yeah, true enough.

(Dante shuddering)

(tense, suspenseful music)

Computer.

DIGITAL VOICE: Maximum privacy, entry denied.

To override, contact the protector.

Get Salomea.

Penny?

I have the ability to travel

in the multidimensional universe, Dante.

I was able to bring Penny here from

the dimension she now inhabits.

You found him, you found our son.

Everything's gonna be all right now.

Both of you are here, you can tell me

why you did this thing to me.

You're wrong about this Travis, Penny tell him.

They lied to him.

It was never suppose to effect you, I promise you that.

You were working for the Orchard.

Yes.

DANTE: Why didn't you tell me?

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Dante, forgive me?

ZEPHRYN: You tested your research on us.

What?

The Orchard wouldn't allow me human subjects.

My only option was myself.

Why didn't you tell me what you were doing, Penny?

PENNY: I was forbidden.

I'm your husband.

I thought it failed.

Then I got pregnant, it must have entered Travis.

I didn't know until after you were born.

Then when they took him,

I was so afraid of what would happen

if anybody found out and we weren't there to protect him.

All these years, you had so many chances

to tell me the truth.

(choking up) All those times that I came to see you.

And you betrayed me (crying).

He didn't know.

Travis.

Do you realize what you've done to me?

It's taken everything I have just to stay sane.

I can see time.

My inner world is in constant chaos.

(Penny crying)

And you deceived my father.

Please.

Please, please forgive me, please.

It's eternal what I feel.

Don't let me leave like this.

No, don't!

(loud, frightening tones)

No (gasping).

I'm taking them to Seneca, dismissed.

Ow.

Take the door on your left.

Follow that corridor to the end.

You'll reach an airlock, no one will see you.

Are you sure you can make it?

Don't worry, I have unrestricted access to Zephryn.

I will get Dante back to you.

LUC: Okay.

That way.

(deep, tense music)

What did you do with her?

I forgave her.

I sent her into the fourth dimension,

that is where she belongs.

She will find peace there.

(suspenseful music)

Open the door.

I won't.

I know what you're up to and I won't be any part of it.

Open the door.

Wait.

I'd like a moment with Captain Montana.

It won't be long.

I'll send for you in your quarters when we're done.

And now captain, you and your niece

will be returned to your ship.

I'm not leavin' without my son.

You really think he'll go with you?

Zephryn is not your son in anything but

the biological sense.

His life is with us.

(Dante grunting)

Come with me.

You have to trust me.

Uh.

Come on, hurry up, let's go.

No, I'm gonna wait for Dante.

We're just gonna prepare the shuttle for departure,

we won't go without him, come on.

Let's go, come on.

Wanna bet?

(tense, suspenseful music)

(Seneca breathing heavily)

Zephryn stop, I have to tell you something.

Seneca was planning to kill Luc, Percy, and Dante.

And the Orchard is, un-- (zapping)

ZEPHRYN: Salomea.

Come with me.

Zephryn!

Come on, let's go. (gun chambering)

Think about what you're doing.

We have an empire to build, you and I.

These people are nothing in comparison to

the destiny that awaits you.

Your purpose and mine are not the same, father.

I know that now.

And whatever destiny you say you believe in,

killing these people'll only bring harm.

You must trust my judgment, son.

I know now that you will kill them

no matter what I say.

But you won't kill me, will you, father?

Without me, you have little power,

even among your own people.

Travis, let's go, come on, let's go.

Zephryn,

Zephryn.

Zephryn!

You cannot leave!

(dramatic music)
