transmission upon execution of the

Orville run you know static interference

in the Martian atmosphere we will be

unable to maintain transmission we're

standing by to switch over to camera

transmitters at Oh nine hundred in two

minutes and 14 seconds we will enter our

tighter orbit all systems are go

stand by for switchover we receive you

Mars probe one we are standing by to

receive your transmission at all nine

get a distance reading on it it's up to

[Applause]

whatever it keeps changing its side and

rain

okay meters are having convulsions

nothing I do will correct it

[Music]

we're due to connect with it any second

we had to go to Mars we couldn't go to

the moon like everybody else we've got

full up activate all operable rocket

inoperable except for the emergency unit

[Music]

we're going down Mayday Mayday this is

Mars probe one Mayday we may have a

chance

quick Charlie jettison the main stage

doc you better track it the case we have

to follow it down maintain get it

tracking it is going down fast what

desert region it's no you Steve

we're going down

[Applause]

Mayday Mayday this is Mars probe 1

Mayday

our pressure suits quick the hall may

rupture on impact the gyros are gone

we're rolling over come on move

I'm switching over to automatic guidance

control

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

there's a little power left in the

batteries I've got them out recharge now

the transmitter works we could send a

call for help

remember we blew transmission without go

one before we're going to tighter orbit

true we have no way of knowing if our

last mayday call was even received it

probably wasn't that storm up there

played havoc with our equipment what's

to stop us from trying a mayday call now

nothing technically we can give our

exact position and wait until help comes

if it come what do you mean if anyone

hears it that's what I mean like be fit

we blue transmission up there and we've

no way of knowing if a transmission is

heard there's another choice though

what's that after the batteries recharge

it's a one-shot deal the radio or open

the outside hatch and take our chances

out there and outside you think we stand

any chance at all personally I think

that's better than sitting here not

knowing of help is coming you don't even

know what's out there

oh wait a minute you do Charlie's got a

good point there so take it easy

stop what's your opinion yeah doc how

about it so we stay alive out there

before making any rash decisions I think

we should evaluate where we are what

we're going to do well one thing in our

favor is our map and a fair idea of

where the main stage track we may be

stranded so we're still alive there's

enough fortified liquid in our nutrient

reserve to last us two maybe three weeks

if we stretch it out what about the

oxygen it's not so good the cabin tax

crack like eggshells will we hit you get

about as ninety hours to fly in our suit

tanks 90 hours that's less than four

days well back think we could make it

we're here on the edge of the polar cap

near this main canal three weeks should

be more than enough time if we go by

raft to the desert region and what do we

do if we're out there when our tanks

it's zero listen after spending nine

month on this ship I'd be willing to

step outside and crack the intake valve

on my helmet just to feel solid ground

under my feet regardless of the

consequences

that's it what crack the intake valves

on our helmet

oh yeah and drop dead no I'm serious the

Martian atmosphere contains oxygen it's

too thin to sustain life but it's still

oxygen right basically yes all right say

we keep our suit pressure below the

level of atmospheric pressure on Mars

then we crack the valve and allow the

Martian atmosphere to seep into our

suits supplementing it with oxygen from

our own suit tanks an oxygen booster

exactly will it work don't work no

reason why it shouldn't is there it's

settled it looks like we're in for a

little unofficial exploration never mind

that official business

can I hear before she explodes yeah but

you can hurry

[Music]

Steve what are we going to do long well

have to run for it

close your face plate

[Music]

[Music]

to the north of our wreckage we can see

the endless ice fields of the Martian

polar cap south of us lost somewhere in

the vastness of this alien world the

main stage and our only hope of survival

what do you think guard well even though

we haven't seen any signs of life I

think we should stay with the short at

least during the night dad

how far is it to where the main stage

came down the canal jut carry us to the

hill and we'll have to make our way on

foot to the desert area it should be

near there along the left take 12

tonight part of flower on the canal we

make good time we should reach the hills

by evening

they should keep us from drifting apart

during the night we better be going then

we don't know how much daylight we have

left how far would you guess it to be

that main stage can't be far away now

roughly a four-day trip we'll be cutting

it close maybe too close we've barely

enough oxygen for for a day it requires

much oxygen other words not exerting

ourselves we can cut down the mixture

while we're sleep the current will keep

us in midstream maybe one of us AutoKey

boy might be better at that I'll take

the first watch

thank you can catch you a little sleep I

don't want to care for sleeping out here

I'll take over when you're tired just

wake me up the coldness of the Martian

night bringing in to our first day on

this desolate world our oxygen supply is

already 1/4 gone the short while before

sunset Charlie picked up a weak signal

echoing over the curve the Martian

horizon if the signal is from our main

stage and abducts map is correct we may

reach our destination in time I cannot

escape the feeling of being watched by

some unseen intelligence and the perhaps

our final destination will not be of our

own choosing

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

for mr. Dickens and shields us from the

danger we have just escaped but now what

new dangers hides from us in the fog for

the water now swirls around this and

somewhere ahead we can hear it beating

against the walls of stone you'll follow

the rap better hurry Nick visibility is

almost impossible building up on my

fibers these rock very sharp as razors

we've hadded them one of them pumps into

the rap time we try out our oxygen

seems to work okay

[Music]

a tavern we must have entered it through

the fog submarine canal I sure hope it

leads us in the right direction to come

to the surface again I've never seen

anything so beautiful it's so quiet kind

of eerie gives me that creeps

[Music]

it doesn't look like we can get out of

here you just have to write it out we've

been in here five hours now

and no sign of the way out I'm not sure

but it seems to be getting lighter in

here

I know so it is like I thought at first

we're just getting accustomed to the

darkness we might be going deeper

underground that would explain the heat

getting lighter luminescence mineral

deposits in the cabin wall after

everything we've seen so far

I'm afraid where we'll end up next

[Music]

but wonder we felt hot that steam that

sound there's trouble ahead Falls

something worse I'm convinced there are

Falls ahead there's another sound can't

quite make it out

here's your mother's down steam

what do we do now we have to find some

way out of this the ration won't hold up

long and this deal with sides of the RAM

we've got to get out of here before they

wait keep them from blowing up this way

but the seams will give pretty dude

those Falls are toasty got to get to

shorts else doc and looking for that's

it

there see let's get these rats over

there I'm with you

we're lucky the currents not too strong

in

[Music]

[Music]

don't bother with that let him go yeah

guess you're right they wouldn't have

lasted much longer anyway

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

wonder how far in this goals

[Music]

I don't know we'll soon find out

[Music]

[Music]

what are you looking at doc this rock

formation something familiar about it I

can't place ah come on

rocks rock let's get a move on

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

we have wandered in these caves for what

now seems to be days always with a

feeling that we are doubling back upon

our own footsteps and again that strange

feeling even here that some alien

intelligence still watches us

[Music]

Steve you don't suppose this just

doubles back the way we came to you I

don't know it sure sounds like it

well I hope not

that I mean we're really done

[Music]

no sense in doubling back we know it's

back there as well we didn't double back

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

I should have known we'd find this how

could any of us know what we find here

that rock formation that was puzzling me

it was volcanic any amateur rock town

would have recognized it isn't there any

place on this planet that isn't a

deathtrap where do we go from here looks

like the path is the only way down can't

go back

down we go right from the frying pan

into the fire

[Music]

watch your step and stencil

you'll be fried like a piece of bacon

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

we have no choice now but to press

forward through this internal part it's

impossible to return to the caves but

they lead nowhere here at least there

may be some means of escape for these

traffic volcanic vapors must then

somewhere to the surface

[Music]

does that look like a cave to you

sure looks like it the only thing is how

far back does it go well I'm going up

there to find up stay here with the

other no Steve I'll go this is my job I

am responsible

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

he made it clear in there you've got to

make it back out

[Music]

do you suppose something's happened

there he is he's alright

he's waving at us - come let's go

[Music]

you think you can get any kind of a

bearing for Johnny my map certainly

didn't show anything like this which way

now that way if we can get through this

[Music]

Gabe goes in quite away telling how far

or if it's all like this we all made it

this far let's see if there's a way out

of this inferno I almost wish this

weren't the right direction

[Music]

you may as well go as far as we can

nowhere else to stay on solid ground

deep what is it it must lead outside

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

we better get out fast the volcano might

erupt let's room

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

on what we now believe to be the morning

of the fourth day we have emerged from

the fiery depths of the Martian

underworld how long we had been

wandering there we can only guess is it

that the eternal darkness of the caverns

that endlessly doubled back upon

themselves has destroyed our sense of

time how watches are useless when they

have refused to run since we crashed on

the surface of this planet their hands

frozen as if time were forbidden upon

this world of this via second or every

day of our journey our original oxygen

supply diminishes my important vow with

our map lost in the caves below and only

a faint distant signal to follow the

needle on our oxygen tanks marks the

beginning of what could be a last day on

Mars it is quite obvious now that if we

do not find our main stage before

nightfall it will be simply our last day

[Music]

the arid Martian desert stretches around

us like an endless ocean of sand to the

west more than a day's journey away we

can see what appears to be a strange

dome of light pulsating on the horizon

could it be the work of some alien

intelligence or a weird phenomena of

this planet senseless to one there now

as our oxygen supply is drained and we

are running on the last of our reserve

at noon

Charlie's directional finder became

silent the signal we've been following

in the hopes of reaching our main stage

died and with it perhaps our last chance

of survival on this planet stronger than

ever now is the feeling of alien forces

surrounding us from each desert every

dune looks exactly like the last like a

crummy cut it that's a check wasting

oxygen

what oxygen he's right Steve it's almost

gone fifteen minutes at the most

I had hoped it would

[Music]

the signal the mainstage how's that for

timing us thought there'd be no tomorrow

ah all right let's not just end around

let's go home

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

know what we had thought to be the main

stage has turned out to be a time

corroded relic from an earlier chapter

of the exploration of Mars just enough

power left in its batteries to transmit

a useless signal

[Music]

Charlie stop it now charlie ironically

funny don't you see the Boy Scout we

said it here two years ago to see if man

could live on Mars

and unmet biological laboratory to tell

us whether or not we could survive the

elements funny

we have to travel millions of miles when

finding

choose the prune we can't survive easy

charlie

stop it and they can't even send a

message back for us

Charlie stop it now Johnny

[Music]

there

it's living on while we

he brought one of the fuel line they're

still liquid oxygen in the tank

[Music]

I've got to cap it off before it all

escape

I feel

sort of silly about

well

forget it

looks like you might have saved the day

charlie

we're in luck almost 1/4 of the original

oxygen left it's like a care package

from home 1/4 why that should be enough

to last us all 4 or 5 days that's the

least so bad at least when it's not

right now

we've got to work fast it'll be night

soon we don't want to freeze to death

we'd better get what oxygen we can and

find cover for the night that's a tall

order

there's nothing but sand dunes for miles

around we can take shelter by the Mars

Scout it'll give us some protection from

the wind

that's it God can fill the suit tanks

from this

[Music]

beautiful isn't it its own alien way I

guess it is and so still and quiet

there's a breeze starting up feel it

mm-hmm it makes the sands look so green

like it's another world all right

I wonder what tomorrow will bring let's

hope it's not

[Music]

looks like a star boy I better join the

others take down

looks like a big one coming up

what was that you said green light

perhaps I should have said and Ike

[Music]

the storms building in intensity our

limited air supply I'd sure hate to get

snowed in here

I hope the liking doesn't get worse it

may hit the scout let's hope it blows

itself out by morning gets better

[Music]

[Music]

sandé it gets into everything the

batteries are running down in this

signal it's so faint I can't make it out

are you sure it's a signal not just

static interference you know it's a

signal but it keeps on baby

[Music]

[Music]

hey I think I found something

[Music]

what is it Steve what did you find

I'm not sure what is it the storm must

have uncovered it during the night and

there's a lot more of it's still covered

by the sand I wonder what it could be

let's clear away some more your can't

tell now

[Music]

yawns inform a definite pattern you're

right the two symmetric to have been

formed by nature it's not by nature how

some form of intelligence was at work

here I mean somebody built it I'm

positive

but who you mean there's life on this

planet who can say this is more than a

German archeological discovery than life

itself

odd that these ruins are ancient perhaps

buried beneath the sand for millions of

years

similar to try on our own planet that's

right for all we know we're standing

atop which was a great civilization

there's more look up there

[Music]

looks like some ancient travel but

golden road

yeah but what does it lead to that's

what I'd like to know do you see what I

see

Oh setting light that's what I saw

through the camera just before the last

directional reading where was it from

it's coming from from within the city

and the studious red dogs around the

city its appearance as taylean

as the city itself are mainly this is no

doubt about it look at this reading yes

but it's the power to find out we've

come this far

might as well go the rest of the way

[Music]

looks like a long hike well I hope the

long hike leads us to something

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

we're on the right track that's our

signal okay I'm sure of it great if you

maintain a steady pace you should be

able to reach the plateau by afternoon

[Applause]

[Music]

looks like we come to these ends of the

rope in a way it's beautiful

[Music]

and from appearances incredibly oh do

you suppose it could still be inhabited

doubt it

let's do deserted deserted

I'm not so sure something stopped the

signal well there's only one way to find

out I'm with you

sure it's musty but breathable yes lucky

for us it's enough to sustain human

alive look for the cobwebs nobody's been

in here for a long long time nobody with

the spider or whatever passes for

spiders around here

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

looks like they were cremated alive

apparently whoever they were they've

done there for a long time you better be

careful you don't know what that avian

thing is looks like they were trying to

cut through the wall here

[Music]

[Applause]

see I was right the cutting torch of

some kind I think I'll keep it

[Music]

all right come in handy

[Music]

all right I'll leave it here come on

let's search this place and get it over

with

this place gives me the shivers

[Music]

[Music]

there's a definite change in the

architecture ever since we passed that

first column

you mean all these columns it's not the

been a real jazzy place in at the time

besides the change in the architecture

I've noticed the passageways all seem to

lead in the same direction no matter

which ones we take almost as if there is

some central area what do you make it

[Applause]

looks like they used a blowtorch to get

at it

find anything Steve nothing with this

funny red does the intelligence so

director these containers mint form to

last an eternity and their contents you

got my curiosity up doc let's see what

we find in some of these other

hater something in your all right what

do you see I can't tell for sure give me

a hand

I can't make it out can you just our

luck looks like it's covered up

completely

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

whatever it is I'm glad it's dead

we passed thousands of these containers

there must be an entire civilization

entombed here being they were capable of

developing and intelligence far beyond

their own cranial capacity

judging from the artificial encasement

of the brain they must have undergone

thousands of years of mental evolution

and one lifetime almost unbelievable

erase Texas tears

[Music]

hold it I don't think it sees it it's

looking right at me I don't think it is

charlie

I think somehow it senses our presence

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

me it's alright as if they were trying

to share my mind explore it they mean us

no harm no harm you saw that they do to

intruders here who you don't understand

it's as if they were trying to

communicate to tell us something I'm not

sure I understand the thoughts are many

fake as though an image was half formed

of a meeting place where many minds are

gathering they they want us there now

but where

[Music]

it must be in there

[Music]

[Applause]

help me out

I'm not going in there

[Music]

we have no choice

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

the specimen is no longer thorns NTS t0

and shoe event of a knave we know you

want to communicate with us but your

language is foreign to us never issues

no longer thorns and she has no

equivalent only understand a part of

what you say an evolution what evolution

what manner of life are you I see

perplexity among you as long as your

mind is as color with Christmas's of our

nature we cannot return of your purpose

funnel I am a composer see a

manifestation of the many minds but are

the last inhabitants of business the

velocity of conscious world we are the

end of the evolution of a racial

differences your sister said hi hi

beers enough for you to know our race

has witnessed during his span of our

evolution the birth and death of stars

of the rules are not total are they now

have now we must seek the satisfaction

of our own curious

from where do common and what is your

purpose

we are from the planet Earth to say the

green world some word from ours at one

time he theorized it were developed

tells us in slightly but continued what

is his ventured CC we came here on a

scientific expedition to map and study

the surface of this planet before but we

were the first manned space probe sent

here do not let him sell like my TV

yours to be the owner intelligence lay

by the universe's there are the world's

teeming with lightly with specials as

voyage across the Golden State

those others of whom I did not come here

institutional knowledge they know he was

really their professors London

they were guilt fear there is in

prudence

we had no intentions of landing on your

planet

in fact we weren't even equipped to land

and I think of the deserted is elephant

then I was tempted by our entry to

nature is just a fact and it is your own

wrestle venture city air within our city

not compete you how old you just cover

other way way we picked up a faint

signal and believing it to be our main

stage followed it it led us to the

Golden Road what's your CT is yeah yeah

the signal is received he was a war on

had you been able to silence me need you

would not have come come

however the Golden Rule

that led you here is all the remains of

a vast network that Ling Ling are

Penniston Tamiya from this resort now

that house has become 1 1 and you are

destined to share our rebate for as long

as we remain imprisoned upon this world

so shall you remain you don't understand

all we need is to locate our main stage

and send a message back for help now why

should you want to stop us

it is you who don't understand a we can

neither Indian nor do we have any

capable though the physical connection

before images our existence is confined

within a dimension of time of our own

creation you are right in assuming we do

not understand you speak of an

undecipherable warning a warning from

what afraid of imprisonment while you

are incapable of physical action

imprisoned by what this dimension of

time during the span of our revolution

our racing Sultan empires all reached

its outermost reaches extending through

the perimeter of the galaxy please say

you the Galactic seized and gathered the

ridges from many worlds

wondering we gallop that the resist of

all presidents ours was the greatest

empire the Galactic Civilizations has

ever witnessed

we were the Masters of the Stars but as

a thesis as I asked time is long races

go civilizations wither and any empires

crumble the Sahara is the true rrv

fingers we were in the confidence of

espousals world's gathered here or in my

art form where the mysteries we made

gathered in our one one there is an

irony on our Twilight all too soon we

would return from to my mind assassins

leaving these messages you can highlight

time was insensitive to our release the

end of our revolution truly we're here

we made one last attack that we inquire

into the very nature of the fabric of

time itself over time from creation to

now turn us to war all the yesterday's

almost as formally as the unborn

tomorrow's the stretcher to eternity we

struck a balance between these two great

universal forces the past and the future

it was then at the Imperial time upon

axis we were in the conquerors of a

thousand workers and for wall rose again

to conquer and pluck our city of tyre

within these walls there was an interest

cities and inanity others will be hunted

upon all the mysteries we had gathered

from the vastness of the universe and

pondering reform we had committed a

grievous error that transmission upon

tyne

was contrary to the laws of the universe

for as there can be no life without

purpose so

like it's seldom is meaningless without

our death upon unraveling the last

misses of the universe

this is real littered but there exists a

promise of something very strange and

very integrated a promise beckoning to

us from beyond of the reverently who

directs the special care physicians upon

this world and a helplessness of our

decision too it's hard to believe that a

race as great as yours cannot free

itself from a prison of their own

creation if you stop time

why can't you start it again time can be

set in motion negating free to continue

to warm the onion structure and we eat

your heart assistant but requires an act

of physical strength of which we are

indicating your task but how we have no

knowledge of how you stop time therefore

how can we start it again

are we really I cannot hold this in an

attestation much longer

the process involved would not be

understandable to erase as young as

yours where their time and enter me to

explain our city was one thousandth

title yours is the task to replace you

disappear within the mechanism wait

don't leave just make an ism where is it

what is it you will know it or it is the

symbol of tire universal to all races

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

that must be the sphere but what

mechanism is it part of who cares now

look let's not get sidetracked we

haven't got time to get involved with

somebody else's problems well maybe

there's our problem what do you mean if

there's nothing to do with us but it not

waste our time on riddles - now they've

been here a long time and so will we if

we don't find that main stage look the

main stage is lost let's face it we've

been chasing wild signals everywhere and

let's give doc the benefit of the doubt

I still don't understand how it's gonna

do us any good well maybe not but we

won't know unless we try this must be it

now all we have to do is find the

mechanism at which it fits

[Music]

they're a city plucked from time

[Music]

that does it I hope this is it there's

no place else to look if it is it'll

solve a lot of mysteries just as long as

we don't end up like they did

[Music]

a symbol of time universal to all races

mechanism of time

[Music]

it's so close and yet just beyond our

reach

I can reach it

Steve give me a hand

[Music]

the city

[Music]

[Music]

the pendulum lookout

[Music]

[Music]

your toilet cannot start done time has

been set in motion again free to

continue toward the endless future and

reach our destiny do not gaze upon time

too long as you do your own destiny

awaits you at the end of a Jordan roll

well

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

but past and present are coming together

we've got to get out while this

dimensions to retest

[Music]

overdue with your transmission please
