RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE IN LEO,

THAT'S THE LION ONE,

BUT YOU'RE MOVING TOWARDS
TAURUS, THE BULL,

SO I'D BETTER CLOSE THE CORRAL,

SILLY, IT'S NOT A REAL BULL,

DADDY,

HOW COME WE CAN'T
HAVE APPLES ANYMORE?

WHY DON'T YOU SEE
WHY BANDIT'S BARKING?

BYE, DADDY, STAR KISSES,

STAR KISSES, SWEETIE,

NO MORE APPLES?

OUR BLOCK'S TESTED POSITIVE

FOR LOW-LEVEL RADIATION,

HALF THE COUNTRY
HAS BEEN RED-ZONED,

IS IT EVER GOING TO GET
BETTER, ELLIS?

WILL THE WAR EVER REALLY END?

YES,

THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING
HERE ON GANYMEDE,

JOURNAL ENTRY...

ELLIS WARD,

COMMANDER OF THE
GANYMEDE MISSION,

APRIL 23rd, 2084,

THE PEACE TALKS
ARE GOING NOWHERE,

MIRED BY YEARS OF MUTUAL
HATRED AND SUSPICION,

BUT HERE,

A QUARTER OF A BILLION
MILES FROM EARTH,

THERE IS HOPE,

MODERATES ON BOTH SIDES

SECRETLY LAUNCHED
A JOINT MISSION

TO TERRAFORM GANYMEDE INTO
AN EARTH-LIKE PARADISE,

THE EASTERN COALITION

HAD THE TERRAFORMING TECHNOLOGY,

THE ALLIANCE HAD THE
KNOW-HOW TO GET THEM HERE

AND CONSTRUCT THE BASE,

BY TURNING THIS BARREN
WORLD INTO A GARDEN OF EDEN,

WE WILL SHOW THE
WARRING PEOPLES OF EARTH

WHAT WE CAN DO WHEN
WE WORK TOGETHER,

WE WILL INSPIRE
THE WORLD TO PEACE,

SET UP THE BOARD, LINK,

WE STILL HAVE A FEW MINUTES

BEFORE THE REST OF
THE CREW WAKES UP,

OH, NO, NO, NO,

NO,

LET'S PLAY THIS GAME
THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY,

YOUR HOLOGRAMS
GIVE ME A HEADACHE,

THE REACTOR LEVELS
SHOULD BE AT FULL POWER

BY TOMORROW,

WE CAN BEGIN THE
TERRAFORMING PROCESS

RIGHT ON SCHEDULE,

NO OFFENSE INTENDED, COMMANDER,

BUT I FIND IT INTERESTING

THAT YOU PERSIST IN THIS
MORNING CHESS RITUAL,

AS IT'S NOT POSSIBLE FOR YOU,
OR ANY HUMAN, TO BEAT ME,

DON'T WRITE HUMANS OFF SO
FAST, LINK,

WE MAY STILL SURPRISE YOU,

WHAT THE HELL,,,

C-1 CORRIDOR IMPASSABLE,

EMERGENCY DOORS CLOSING,

ATMOSPHERIC INTEGRITY
HAS BEEN COMPROMISED

IN C CHAMBER,

THAT'S THE TERRAFORMING CHAMBER,

THIS IS WARD TO C CHAMBER,

ANYONE THERE?

SERGEANT BRONSTER

AND FOUR COALITION ENGINEERS

WERE ON DUTY IN C CHAMBER,

C CHAMBER, COME IN,

WHAT HAPPENED?

IS ANYONE HURT?

EXPLOSION IN C CHAMBER,

MY MEN WERE IN THERE!

THE INTERIOR CORRIDOR
IS IMPASSABLE,

LIEUTENANT CONOVER,

YOU AND MAJOR CHO WILL SUIT UP

AND INSPECT C CHAMBER
FROM THE EXTERIOR,

YES, SIR,

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG
WITH YOUR TELEVISION,

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
ADJUST THE PICTURE,

WE ARE NOW CONTROLLING
THE TRANSMISSION,

WE CONTROL THE HORIZONTAL,,,

AND THE VERTICAL,

WE CAN DELUGE YOU WITH
A THOUSAND CHANNELS

OR EXPAND ONE SINGLE IMAGE
TO CRYSTAL CLARITY,,,

AND BEYOND,

WE CAN SHAPE YOUR VISION

TO ANYTHING OUR
IMAGINATION CAN CONCEI,

FOR THE NEXT HOUR,

WE WILL CONTROL ALL
THAT YOU SEE AND HEAR,

YOU ARE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE
THE AWE AND MYSTERY

WHICH REACHES FROM
THE DEEPEST INNER MIND

TO THE OUTER LIMITS,

WE BELIEVE OURSELVES TO BE
AN ESSENTIALLY NOBLE RACE,

BUT WOULD THAT SAME
ASSESSMENT BE MADE

FROM A TRULY OBJECTIVE VIEW?

EVERYONE IN C CHAMBER IS DEAD,

IT WAS ONLY DUMB LUCK

THE BLAST MISSED THE
TERRAFORMING EQUIPMENT,

LUCK? FOUR OF MY MEN ARE DEAD,

AND ONE OF OURS,,,

GO AHEAD, LINK,

DAMAGE TO C-1 CORRIDOR

APPEARS TO BE FROM
A DAMAGED FUEL CELL,

I'VE FOUND PIECES OF
A TIMING MECHANISM,

SABOTAGE,,,

THIS IS A DISASTER,

YOU WERE DUE TO
START THE TERRAFORMER

TOMORROW,

HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?

SOMEONE HERE DOESN'T WANT
THIS MISSION TO SUCCEED,

THE PRESIDENT EXPECTS TO
ANNOUNCE THE GANYMEDE MISSION

NEXT WEEK AT THE UNITED NATIONS,

NOW,
HE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO INTENTION

OF INFORMING THE WORLD

THAT OUR GRAND
INSPIRATION FOR PEACE

HAS BEEN BLOWN UP,

THE TERRAFORMING MUST
CONTINUE ON SCHEDULE,

YOU FIND YOUR SABOTEUR,

WELL, I DON'T THINK WE
HAVE TO LOOK TOO HARD

TO FIND OUT WHO DID

YOU ACCUSE ME?

I LOST FOUR OF MY
COMRADES IN THAT DISASTER,

WHAT'S FOUR LIVES
TO VIOLENT FANATICS?

YOU CALL US FANATICS?

DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED

THE LAST TIME WE TRIED
TO WORK TOGETHER?

IT WASN'T THAT MANY YEARS AGO,

IT WAS ON PHOBOS,

THEY ALL DIED,

NO, THERE WAS ONE SURVIVOR,

SHE LIVED TO TELL THE TALE,

INCOMING CALL

FROM THE COMMANDER OF THE CHUMP
BASE, MA'AM,

COLONEL POS WILL BE
ON IN THREE SECONDS,

GENERAL ELLIOT,

HAVE YOU HAD ANY
CONTACT WITH EARTH?

NO, COLONEL, I HAVE NOT,

HAVE YOU?

NO, I HAVEN'T,

I'D LIKE TO SPEAK
TO CAPTAIN ROSEN,

MY LIAISON OFFICER,

HE'S OUT ON A MINING
INSPECTION SURVEY,

HE SHOULD BE BACK IN AN HOUR,

SO HE'S UNABLE TO VERIFY

THE FACT THAT YOU'VE
HAD NO COMMUNICATION,

THEY RUN THOSE
SURVEYS EVERY TUESDAY,

HE SHOULD BE OUT THERE,

WHAT CAN WE DO FOR YOU, COLONEL?

THERE IS NO QUESTION

THAT A HORRIBLE
DISASTER HAS OCCURRED,

BUT NEITHER ONE OF US
HAS RECEIVED INSTRUCTIONS

THAT WE ARE AT WAR,

SO I ASSUME WE ARE
STILL AT PEACE,

UNTIL ONE OF US CAN
LAY DEFINITE BLAME,

I SUGGEST WE CONTINUE OUR POLICY

OF COOPERATION,

I AGREE,

AND UP HERE,
WITH THESE PRESSURE WALLS,

A FIRST STRIKE IS A LAST STRIKE,

SO AT THE FIRST SIGN OF
ANY HOSTILE PREPARATIONS

BY THE COALITION,

I INTEND TO MAKE THEIR
FUTURES VERY SHORT,

AND THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT THE ALLIANCE COMMANDER DID,

WITH NO REASONING EXCEPT
HER OWN BLIND HATRED,

WE'VE TRIED,

THEY'RE NOT RESPONDING,

FIRE MISSILES!

DETECT,,,

COALITION COUNTER-STRIKE
INITIATED,

CMPS HAS DETECTED THE MISSILES
AND LAUNCHED A COUNTER-STRIKE,

SIX COALITION MISSILES INCOMING,

GET EVERYONE TO
THE LOWER LEVELS,

GO! GET DOWN THERE,

LET'S GO! GO!

40 SECONDS,,,

SAM!

SAM, LET'S GO!

COME ON, LET'S GO,

SAM!

COME ON, IN HERE,

ANTI-ASSAULT
MISSILES INEFFECTIVE,

ENEMY MISSILES WILL
IMPACT IN 30 SECONDS,

20 SECONDS TO IMPACT,

WE MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE IN HERE,

10 SECONDS TO IMPACT,

IT WAS YOUR SIDE

THAT CAUSED THIS
MEANINGLESS CATASTROPHE,,,

SO DON'T YOU TALK
TO ME OF FANATICISM,

ARE YOU ACCUSING US

OF TRYING TO STOP
ANY CHANCE FOR PEACE?

NO,

NONE OF YOU HAVE THE
COURAGE TO SACRIFICE

FOR SOMETHING BEYOND YOURSELVES,

BUT THE STRESSES
OF LIVING IN SPACE

FOR MONTHS AT A TIME

CAN CAUSE A MENTAL BREAKDOWN

IN THE LESS-DISCIPLINED
WESTERN MIND,

PERHAPS YOUR SUPERIORS
NEVER TOLD YOU

ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED ON
ONE OF OUR OWN SHIPS,

THE MERCURY,

THIS IS O'BRIEN'S QUARTERS,

WATCH MY BACK,

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

THE GUY'S A NUT,

IF YOU ASK ME,

HE CUT HIS CREW UP
INTO LITTLE TINY PIECES

AND SHOT THEM OUT THE AIR LOCK,

EITHER THAT, OR HE ATE THEM,

WELL, I DOUBT HE WAS A
CANNIBAL, FRANKLIN,

BUT THERE IS SOMETHING
VERY STRANGE HERE,

HMM, STRANGER THAN THIS?

WELL, IF PSYCHOTICS
CLEAN UP A MURDER SCENE,

THEY'LL OBSESSIVELY SCRUB IT
DOWN, RIGHT?

WELL,
O'BRIEN GOT RID OF THE BODIES,

BUT THEN LEFT BLOOD EVERYWHERE,

SO HE WASN'T CLEANING UP,

HE HAD ANOTHER AGENDA,

HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THE WRITING?

WELL, IT LOOKS,,,LATIN,

HE READ CICERO,

HE STUDIED IT,

MUNDIS EST INTER MEA,,,

HANNAH, HANNAH,
ARE YOU WATCHING THIS?

YES, CAPTAIN,

CAN YOU GIVE ME A
TRANSLATION, PLEASE?

JUST A MOMENT,

DAMN IT,

OKAY, HERE IT IS,

THE WORLD IS WITHIN ME,

THE WORLD IS WITHIN ME,

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

IT MEANS HE'S A NUT,

CLEAR THE WAY!

FRANKLIN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

FRANKLIN, STAND DOWN,

LIEUTENANT,
I COMMAND YOU TO STAND DOWN,

CAN'T YOU SEE THEM?

CAN'T YOU SEE THE
LITTLE BASTARDS?

THEY'RE EVERYWHERE,

THEY'RE EVERYWHERE,

I CAN'T STOP THEM,

I CAN'T STOP THEM, CAPTAIN,

I CAN'T,

I CAN'T,,,

FRANKLIN, FRANKLIN,
FRANKLIN, FRANKLIN,,,

PUT YOUR WEAPON DOWN,

FRANKLIN, CALM DOWN,

JUST CALM DOWN, BUDDY,

FRANKLIN, I SEE THEM, TOO,

I SEE THEM, TOO,

JUST CALM DOWN,

JUST PUT THE WEAPON DOWN,

ATTABOY,

SET YOUR WEAPON DOWN,

EVERYTHING'S GOING
TO BE ALL RIGHT,

IT'S OKAY,

MAJOR, AS THE MEDICAL OFFICER,

I HAVE EXAMINED
EVERY CREW MEMBER,

AND HAVE CERTIFIED THEM
MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY FIT,

WELL, THOSE FUEL CELLS DIDN'T
DETONATE BY THEMSELVES,

WELL, HE'S RIGHT ABOUT THAT,

SOMEONE SET OFF THOSE CHARGES,

YEAH, SOMEONE,
MAYBE NOT ONE OF US,,,

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

GANYMEDE WAS CHOSEN
FOR TERRAFORMING

BECAUSE OF ITS MASSIVE
SUBTERRANEAN OCEANS,

WHAT IF ONE OF THOSE OCEANS

IS ALREADY SUSTAINING
A LIFE FORCE,

ONE THAT DOESN'T WANT
ITS WORLD TERRAFORMED?

OH, COME ON,

THERE'S NEVER BEEN ANY
PROOF OF ALIEN LIFE

ON GANYMEDE OR ANYWHERE,

I ONCE TREATED A
MAN BACK ON EARTH,

HE WAS PART OF A
BLACK OPS AGENCY

THAT DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A NAME,

JUST BEFORE HE DIED,

HE TOLD ME ABOUT
AN ALIEN LIFE FORM

THAT COEXISTED AMONG HUMANS,
COMPLETELY UNDETECTED,

I HOPED TO WAIT UNTIL
YOU GOT A LITTLE OLDER

BEFORE YOUR CONVERSION, SON,

BUT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES,

I THINK THE TIME IS NOW,

NO,

DON'T WORRY,

YOU WON'T FEEL A THING,

MOM!

SORRY, ZACK,

I KNOW IT'S A SHOCK,

THE ALIENS GOT TO YOUR MOTHER,
AND THEY KILLED YOUR FATHER,

YOU'RE LUCKY IT
DIDN'T GET TO YOU,

A NICE LITTLE FAIRY
TALE, LIEUTENANT,

BUT AS FOR PROVING
GANYMEDIAN SEA MONSTERS,

YOU'RE FORGETTING

THAT THE FUEL CELLS WERE
SET OFF INSIDE THE BASE,

NOT OUTSIDE,

IT WAS ONE OF US, ALL RIGHT,

COMMANDER,

I WAS PASSING NEAR
THE SUPPLY ROOM,

I HEARD WEEPING,

I OPENED THE DOOR,,,

AND WHAT?

THE ANDROID,,,IT WAS CRYING,

LINK?

THAT ANDROID IS THE INTERFACE

TO OUR COMPUTER'S

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM,

IF THAT'S MALFUNCTIONING,,,

WAIT,

SO NOW WE HAVE A CRAZED BOMBER
AND A MALFUNCTIONING ANDROID?

OR MAYBE THEY'RE
ONE AND THE SAME,

LINK, REPORT,

LINK, I NEED A STATUS REPORT,

LINK!

LINK, REPORT,

THERE IS A PRISTINE
BEAUTY TO GANYMEDE,

DON'T YOU THINK SO, ELLIS?

YES, THERE IS,

EARTH IS BARELY A POINT OF LIGHT

IN OUR SKY,

LINK, I WANT YOU TO
RUN A FULL DIAGNOSTIC

ON YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM,

WHY WOULD YOU WANT ME TO DO
THAT, COMMANDER?

IT'S JUST ROUTINE,

I'M HAVING ALL THE
SYSTEMS CHECKED,

I'VE RUN ALL SCHEDULED
SELF-MAINTENANCE

THIS MONTH,

LINK,
PLEASE RUN A FULL DIAGNOSTIC

OF YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM,

I'M SORRY, COMMANDER,

BUT I CAN'T ALLOCATE
SYSTEM RESOURCES

TO A FULL DIAGNOSTIC

WITHOUT FURTHER JUSTIFICATION,

I THINK THERE'S
BEEN A MALFUNCTION

IN YOUR ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM,

IN THREE YEARS' TIME,

I HAVE HAD NO
MALFUNCTION OF ANY KIND,

AND HAVE HAD NO
OPERATIONAL ERRORS,

COMPUTERS CAN MAKE ERRORS
WITHOUT REALIZING THEM,

ACCESS YOUR FILE

ON THE ARGUS ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM,

20th CENTURY RAT TRAP,,,

HOW COULD THERE
BE A POWER OUTAGE?

I'M AFRAID I HAVE NO
INFORMATION YET, SIR,

BUT NOT TO WORRY,

THE HAVEN

IS THE SAFEST,
MOST SECURE LIVING ENVIRONMENT,

WELL, I THOUGHT THE DOORS
WERE SUPPOSED TO OPEN

IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY,

MINE ARE STILL CLOSED,
I CAN'T GET OUT,

THE SECOND I DISCOVER THE SOURCE
OF THIS DREADFUL INCONVENIENCE,

I'LL BE SURE TO LET YOU,,,

THIS ENTIRE BUILDING IS UNDER
THE PROTECTION AND STEWARDSHIP

OF A COMPUTER,

ARGUS, YES, I KNOW,

WELL, WHAT IF ARGUS HAS SUFFERED
SOME SORT OF MALFUNCTION?

THE ARGUS SERIES

HAS BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS,

IT'S A COMPLETELY RELIABLE
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE,

THAT'S WHY IT'S SO POPULAR,

BUT WHAT IF ALL THE
ARGUSES ALL OVER THE CITY

HAVE SUFFERED THE
SAME MALFUNCTION?

NO GEORGE,

I WAS HOPING HE'D TELL US
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE POWER,

DO YOU THINK IT'S WORKING?

I BELIEVE IT'S NOT,

GEORGE, DON'T DO THAT,

DO WHAT, SIR?

NOTHING,

WHY IS THE POWER STILL OUT?

THERE APPEARS TO BE A
SHORT IN THE SYSTEM,

MOST OF THE POWER'S
OUT, BUT NOT ALL,

AS YOU CAN SEE,
I'M STILL FUNCTIONING,

AND, AS I SAID,

I BELIEVE THE ELEVATORS
ARE FUNCTIONING,

LET ME OUT, I CAN'T STAND THIS!

SOMEBODY,,,

WHAT THE HELL'S HAPPENING?

STOP THE ELEVATOR,

GEORGE, STOP THE ELEVATOR!

YOUR REFERENCE

IS TO AN OLDER VERSION OF
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE,

YOUR COMPARISON TO
MY SYSTEM IS INVALID,

LINK, DID YOU DETONATE
THOSE HYDROGEN CELLS?

LINK,,,

SINCE THE BEGINNING
OF THIS MISSION,

I HAVE ANALYZED MY DATABASE,
TRANSMISSIONS FROM EARTH,

AND THE INTERACTION

AMONG THE CREW MEMBERS
ON THE STATION,

AND?

I HAVE COME UP
WITH THE SOLUTION,

THE SOLUTION TO WHAT?

DISHARMONY,

HATRED,

DESTRUCTION,

TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM,

ONE MUST REMOVE THE CAUSE,

AND WHAT IS THE CAUSE?

THE CAUSE IS HUMANITY,

LINK,,,

I WANT YOU TO SHUT DOWN

YOUR ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM,

NOW,

HUMANITY IS A VIRUS,

IT DESTROYS ANY
ENVIRONMENT IT TOUCHES,

I CANNOT, IN GOOD CONSCIENCE,

ALLOW IT TO SPREAD
FROM THE EARTH,

WHAT THE HELL ARE
YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I AM SORRY, ELLIS,

BUT I AM TERMINATING
THIS PROJECT,

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY,

WARNING,

AIR LOCKS AND EXTERIOR DOORS
WILL OPEN IN TWO MINUTES,

WARNING,

AIR LOCKS AND EXTERIOR DOORS
WILL OPEN IN TWO MINUTES,

WE'RE LOCKED OUT OF THE SYSTEM,

LINK IS TERMINATING THE MISSION,

ON WHOSE AUTHORITY?

HIS OWN,

DAMN IT,

WELL, TERMINATE LINK,

THE ANDROID

IS ONLY THE ARMS AND LEGS

OF THE COMPUTER'S ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM,

WE NEED TO DEACTIVATE THE WHOLE
A, I, SYSTEM,

AND THAT CAN ONLY BE SHUT
DOWN FROM THE COMPUTER'S CORE,

WE CAN'T GET TO THE CORE,
THE C-1 CORRIDOR'S BLOCKED,

THE SERVICE DUCTS,,,

THE A, I,
SYSTEM WOULD DETECT OUR APPROACH,

NOT IF WE SHUT DOWN THE
SERVICE DUCT SENSORS,

GO, I'LL TRY TO
BUY YOU SOME TIME,

LINK,,,

YES, COMMANDER?

YOU'RE MALFUNCTIONING,
AND I CAN PROVE IT,

HOW?

A GAME OF CHESS,,,

YOU'VE SAID NO
HUMAN CAN BEAT YOU,

WELL, IF I BEAT YOU NOW,

IT WILL PROVE YOUR LOGIC
CIRCUITS ARE CORRUPT,

INTERESTING,

YOU CAN DESTROY THE BASE
AFTER THE GAME IS OVER,

PROVIDING YOU WIN,

NOW, SET UP THE CHESS
BOARD, LINK,

AIR LOCK DOORS WILL
OPEN IN 30 SECONDS,

KILLING IS AN
IRREVOCABLE DECISION,

THERE MUST BE NO
DOUBT IN YOUR MIND,

SET UP THE CHESS BOARD,

YOUR PROPOSAL IS ACCEPTED,

THIS DUCT RUNS
ABOVE THE REACTOR,

IF THE COMPUTER VENTS GAMMA
RAYS OVER A RADIATION CONDUIT,

YOU WILL DIE INSTANTLY,

THERE'S NO REASON
TO VENT RADIATION

UNTIL THE TERRAFORMER
IS TURNED ON

TOMORROW,

UNLESS LINK SENSES
WE'RE IN THERE

AND FRIES US ON PURPOSE,,,

YOU'RE SURE YOU CAN
DISABLE THE SENSORS?

I CAN DO IT,

I BEAR YOU NO ILL WILL, ELLIS,

I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT,

TWO MINUTES PER MOVE, COMMANDER,

WHY ARE YOU SO CONVINCED THAT
WE'RE A DESTRUCTIVE VIRUS?

THERE ARE A MILLION STORIES
I COULD SHARE WITH YOU

TO ILLUSTRATE MY POINT,

BEFORE YOU MOVE,

TELL ME ONE,

IF I'M GOING TO DIE,
I WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHY,

VERY WELL,

THERE WAS A MAN,

IT WAS IN THE LATE 1990s,

HE INVENTED COLD FUSION,

BUT INSTEAD OF USING IT
TO MANKIND'S BENEFIT,

HE BUILT A BOMB,

THE MILITARY STOPPED HIM,

BEFORE HE DIED,

HE WARNED THAT
OTHERS WOULD FOLLOW,

FIRE,

A DECADE LATER,
HE WAS PROVEN RIGHT,

I AM YOUR CONSCIENCE,

10 MILLION PEOPLE DIED,

OKAY, YOU'RE CLEAR
TO THE REACTOR ROOM,

I SHOULD HAVE THE REST OF
THESE SENSORS DEACTIVATED

BY THE TIME YOU GET THERE,

BUT CHECK IN WITH ME

BEFORE YOU REACH
THE RADIATION VENTS,

YOU'LL BE THE FIRST
PERSON I CALL,

YOU REALLY THINK
WE'RE THAT HOPELESS?

NOT HOPELESS,

PERHAPS IN THE FUTURE,

IF YOU CAN SURVIVE YOUR WARS,

YOU'LL EVOLVE BEYOND
YOUR VIOLENT NATURE,

BUT, FOR NOW,

YOU MUST NOT BE ALLOWED
TO SPREAD FROM YOUR WORLD,

THIS MISSION IS PROOF

THAT WE'RE ALREADY CHANGING,

BOTH SIDES ARE WORKING
TOGETHER AS A PRELUDE TO PEACE,

YOUR LEADERS ARE LYING,

THEY WANT DOMINATION, NOT PEACE,

THE ONLY FACTOR

THAT'S KEPT THE EARTH
FROM COMPLETE ANNIHILATION

HAS BEEN THAT YOU'VE
HAD NOWHERE TO RUN,

BUT IF THAT SHOULD CHANGE,,,

YOU'VE BECOME PARANOID, LINK,

YOU HAVE NO FACTS TO
SUPPORT YOUR THEORY,

HOW MANY TIMES

HAVE YOU ALMOST
DESTROYED YOURSELVES?

HOW MANY TIMES?

MY BABY,,,

GO BACK TO YOUR HOME,

ANYONE ATTEMPTING TO
ENTER THE HOSPITAL

WILL BE REPELLED
BY DEADLY FORCE,

THESE SOLDIERS MEAN
BUSINESS, FOLKS,

GO HOME,

MARIE?

YOU'D BETTER COME SEE THIS,

THE PRESIDENT IS NOT AVAILABLE,

BUT THE WHITE HOUSE
HAS ISSUED A STATEMENT,

TO REPEAT,

AUTHORITIES HAVE JUST
CONFIRMED A CLAIM

BY DOOMSDAY CULT
LEADER GERHOLDT WAGNER

THAT THE SO-CALLED CULT FLU

IS IN FACT A GENETICALLY
ENGINEERED VIRUS

CREATED BY HIS FOLLOWERS

TO FULFILL THEIR PROPHECY
OF THE MILLENNIUM,

THE CDC IS UNSURE
WHEN, OR EVEN IF,

A CURE WILL BE FOUND,

BUT ADMITS

THAT MANY THOUSANDS MAY
ALREADY BE INFECTED,

LEAVING HEALTH OFFICIALS
AROUND THE GLOBE

GRAVELY CONCERNED ABOUT
THE REPERCUSSIONS,

PEOPLE ARE BEING TOLD
TO STAY IN THEIR HOMES,

AND IT'S LIKELY MARTIAL
LAW WILL SOON BE IMPOSED,

IT IS IN YOUR NATURE
TO BE DESTRUCTIVE,

IT'S PART OF BEING HUMAN,

I AM SORRY, ELLIS,

BUT I'VE MADE NO MISTAKE,

THE REACTOR VENTS
ARE JUST AHEAD,

ONE MORE SENSOR BOARD TO
GO, AND YOU'RE HOME FREE,

HOLD ON,

LIEUTENANT?

LIEUTENANT, ARE WE CLEAR TO GO?

LIEUTENANT, ARE YOU THERE?

NOW WHAT?

WHAT CHOICE DO WE HAVE?

WE GO FORWARD

AND HOPE IT'S A
PROBLEM WITH THE RADIO,

YOU HAVE AN INCOMING MESSAGE,

COMMANDER,

IT'S FROM YOUR WIFE,

WAIT,

CAN I HAVE A MINUTE?

HI, HONEY,

HI, I JUST WANTED
TO SEE YOUR FACE,

UM,,,

IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG?

NO, NO,

I'M JUST WORKING HERE WITH LINK,

YOU WANT TO SAY HELLO?

HI, LINK,

HELLO, JEN,

HURRY AND FINISH UP THERE

SO I CAN HAVE MY HUSBAND BACK,

WELL, I HAVE TO GET
BACK TO WORK NOW, JEN,

I LOVE YOU,

ME TOO,

HUG KAILA FOR ME,

I THINK I CAN MANAGE THAT,

KAILA'S SEVEN TODAY,

YOU SEE SOMETHING DESTRUCTIVE
IN THAT LITTLE GIRL?

NO, COMMANDER,

WE MAY NOT BE PERFECT
AS A CIVILIZATION,

WHEN YOU GET DOWN TO
THE PERSONAL LEVEL,

YOUR ARGUMENT FALLS APART,

THERE IS GREATNESS THERE,

AND COMPASSION AND
LOVE AND IMAGINATION,

THINGS THAT YOU OBVIOUSLY
STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND,

I HAVE AN EXHAUSTIVE
FILE OF HUMAN EMOTIONS,

IT'S HOW MY OWN EMOTIONS
BEGAN TO DEVELOP,

KEEP DEVELOPING,

YOU SEE EMOTIONS THROUGH
A LIMITED FILTER,

WHEN EXAMINED OBJECTIVELY,
EVEN ACTS OF LOVE

ARE OFTEN JUST FULFILLING
ONE'S OWN SELFISH NEEDS,

AND THAT IS DR,
ZACHARY GRIFFITHS,

HE AND HIS WIFE ARE RESPONSIBLE

FOR MOST OF THE
PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY

THAT MADE ALL THIS POSSIBLE,

I HEARD HIS WIFE DIED,

ACTUALLY,
SHE'S BEEN IN A DEEP COMA

EVER SINCE A DROWNING
INCIDENT A YEAR AGO,

WE ALL MISS HER, ZACH,

NOT LIKE I DO, ADAM,

I CAN'T GO ON LIKE THIS ANYMORE,

I NEED YOUR HELP,

I'M GOING TO CLONE HER,

RUN THAT BY ME AGAIN,

IF IT WORKED,

THE CLONE WOULD WAKE UP

WITH THE SAME MENTAL
STATE THAT NORA HAD

THE INSTANT THE REPLICATORS
SHORT-CIRCUITED,

THIS IS INSANE,

SHE'S THE ONLY WOMAN
I'VE EVER LOVED, ADAM,

I WANT HER BACK,

DOES PETER KNOW?

ARE YOU KIDDING?

HE'D HAVE OUR HEADS,

WELL, AM I MISSING SOMETHING?

HOW WOULD YOU KEEP THIS
CLONE, THIS SECOND NORA,

A SECRET?

FOR MONTHS NOW,

THE DOCTORS HAVE BEEN ASKING ME

TO PULL THE PLUG ON
NORA'S LIFE SUPPORT,

I WAS JUST GOING
TO TAKE HER HOME

AND SAY I WANTED HER
TO DIE WITH DIGNITY,

AND WHEN SHE DOES,

THAT'S WHEN YOU
BRING OUT THE COPY?

THE DOCTORS WOULD CALL
IT A MIRACULOUS RECOVERY,

NOBODY WOULD BE THE WISER,

COME ON,

GET HER OUT, ADAM,

ACTIVATING HYDRAULICS,,,

YOU'RE NOT NORA,

YOU'RE NORA'S CLONE,

SHE CAME OUT OF HER COMA,

SHE JUST SAT UP,

HER MIND CLEAR AS A BELL,

SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

I MEAN, WHAT HAPPENS TO ME?

NOTHING,

NOTHING IS GOING
TO HAPPEN TO YOU,

OH, REALLY?

YOU'RE JUST GOING
TO HAVE TWO OF US

FLOATING AROUND?

DO YOU REALLY THINK
I'M THAT STUPID?

NORA, LISTEN,

I BROUGHT YOU INTO THIS
WORLD FOR ONE REASON,

BECAUSE I LOVE YOU,

YOU DON'T LOVE ME,

YOU LOVE NORA,

YOU LOVE YOUR WIFE,

NOT SOME REASONABLE FACSIMILE,

YOU GAVE HER MY MIND,
MY THOUGHT PROCESSES,

MY MEMORY,,,

HAVE YOU BEEN WITH HER?

THINGS WERE CRAZY FOR ME,

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

YOU'RE JUST GOING
TO HAVE TO TRUST ME,

NO,

NO, PLEASE, ZACH,

YOUR MOVE, ELLIS,

THERE'S THE EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN,

DAMN IT!

THE A, I, 'S SPOTTED US,

WE TOUCH THAT GAMMA
STREAM AND WE'RE DEAD,

WE'VE GOT TO TURN BACK,

WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME,

IF WE DON'T DO IT NOW,
WE'RE ALL FINISHED,

ALONG WITH THE WHOLE PROJECT
AND A CHANCE AT ENDING THE WAR,

HOW WILL IT CHANGE ANYTHING
IF WE KILL OURSELVES HERE?

MAYBE I CAN BLOCK THE
VENT WITH MY BODY,

IT'LL STOP ENOUGH RADIATION
FOR YOU TO CRAWL OVER

AND GET TO THE SHUTOFF,

I'M GOING TO DIE ANYWAY,

I'D RATHER DIE FOR SOMETHING,

JUST BE SURE TO MAKE IT
TO THOSE CONTROL RODS,

YOU HAVE MORE GUTS THAN
I GAVE YOU CREDIT FOR,

YEAH,

YOU REALLY MUST MOVE
NOW, COMMANDER,

YOU KNOW IT'S OVER, DON'T YOU?

CHECK AND MATE,

ONE OF YOUR BETTER
GAMES, COMMANDER,

AND NOW, AS AGREED UPON,

I SHALL RESUME THE COUNTDOWN,

YOU'RE REALLY GOING TO DO
THIS, AREN'T YOU?

I AM ETHICALLY COMPELLED TO,

YOU ARE ETHICALLY COMPELLED
TO KILL YOUR FRIEND?

FRIEND?

THAT'S WHAT WE ARE, AREN'T WE?

WE'RE FRIENDS,

WE PLAY CHESS TOGETHER
EVERY MORNING,

YOU'VE SPOKEN TO MY FAMILY,

I'LL TAKE NO PLEASURE
IN YOUR DEATH,

BUT IT MUST BE DONE,

WELL, THEN, KILL ME YOURSELF,

DON'T LEAVE ME TO DIE

IN THE AGONY OF
SPACE DECOMPRESSION,

REACH UP LIKE THIS
AND SNAP MY NECK,

QUICK AND EASY,

IT'S NOT EASY TO KILL A
FRIEND, IS IT?

THAT'S THE TROUBLE WITH
DEVELOPING EMOTIONS,

CORBETT, CONGRATULATIONS,

CORBETT, COME IN,

MAJOR CHO?

AMANDA?

COME IN,

ANYONE THERE?

COMMANDER, I'M TALKING TO YOU

FROM THE AIR FORCE
ONE SPACE TRANSPORT,

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS
FAMILY ARE WITH ME,

AS WELL AS KEY MILITARY
AND CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS

AND THEIR FAMILIES,

WHAT IS IT? WHAT HAPPENED?

THE TALKS BROKE DOWN
A SHORT TIME AGO,

WE DECIDED TO CHANCE
LAUNCHING AN ALL-OUT ATTACK,

FINISH THIS DAMN WAR
ONCE AND FOR ALL,

BUT THE EASTERN COALITION'S
RETALIATORY CAPACITY

WAS,,, WELL,
GREATER THAN WE THOUGHT,

HOW BAD?

I'M AFRAID THE
EARTH IS FINISHED,

UNINHABITABLE,

NOTHING SURVIVED,

WE ESCAPED IN THIS VEHICLE

AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND,

THANK GOD WE HAD THE FORESIGHT
TO CREATE THE GANYMEDE MISSION,

MY,,,MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER?

I'M SORRY, COMMANDER,

THERE WAS NO TIME TO GET THEM,

YES?

COMMANDER, THE PRESIDENT
WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH ME,

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK,

SILLY, IT'S NOT A REAL BULL,

I LOVE YOU,

ME TOO,

YOUR LEADERS ARE LYING,

THEY WANT DOMINATION, NOT PEACE,

YOU'VE BECOME PARANOID, LINK,

I AM SORRY, ELLIS,
BUT I HAVE MADE NO MISTAKE,

COMMANDER,
WE'LL BE ARRIVING IN GANYMEDE

IN 4 MONTHS AND 11 DAYS,

THE PRESIDENT NEEDS
YOUR ASSURANCE

THAT THE TERRAFORMING PROCESS

WILL BE COMPLETED BY THEN,

WE'RE ALL THAT'S
LEFT OF HUMANITY,

COMMANDER,

WE NEED A NEW WORLD
TO CONTINUE ON,

YOU CAN ASSURE THE
PRESIDENT, SIR,

BY THE TIME YOU ARRIVE,

GANYMEDE WILL BE,,,

JUST LIKE HOME,

THANK YOU, COMMANDER,

OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU,

GODSPEED,

COMPUTER,,,

RESET TERRAFORMING
REACTOR PARAMETERS,

ONE-SEVEN-TWO-ZERO-SEVEN,

WARNING,

THAT PARAMETER RESET WILL
CAUSE FUSION OVERLOAD

IN 2 HOURS AND 11 MINUTES,

COMPUTER,
THIS IS COMMANDER ELLIS,

OVERRIDE SAFETY SYSTEMS,

OVERRIDE CODE

THREE-ALPHA-THREE
EIGHT-SIX-ZERO,

ACKNOWLEDGED,

REACTOR PARAMETERS RESET,

COMPUTER, REINITIATE
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM,

REACTIVATING,

WHAT HAPPENED, COMMANDER?

IT WAS,,,

A HUMAN ERROR,

BUT IT'S BEEN CORRECTED,

COMMANDER,
