classified.

- Where did he get it?

- I don't know.

- When push comes to shove

at the end of the day

was he just gonna shoot

us when the time came?

- Don't be ridiculous.

- Ridiculous?

Was that you that he had out

there

not letting back in the pod?

- Oxygen.

- He'd kill us all, he would

kill us all.

- Why would he do that?

- Oxygen.

The less of us there are,

the better chance the

rest have for survival

especially now that we have a

Positioner.

Some of us are expendable.

- He wouldn't do that.

- What do we do now?

- First thing is we make sure

no one gets shot.

- So, you're just taking

command?

That what happening here?

- In case you haven't noticed

I have been steering

this ship and making...

- Hey, I trust her more

than I trust that sociopath.

- Sociopath or not,

he and I are citizens

and the only ones who have

the right to be in this pod.

- Oh God, he's right, he's

right.

We're boned, we're hosed, we're

screwed.

We just committed

mutiny, do you know that?

We just did.

All three of us, not him

and they're gonna kill

me, they're gonna kill me.

They're gonna execute me

outright.

I'm not worth the resources

to send back to Earth

to rot in a box.

We'll just explain to the

authorities.

- Look, I don't support

what just happened here

but for the sake of getting

rescued,

I'm with you.

Oh, sh*t.

When they start asking

questions...

- Oh sweet Jesus, thank you.

It's working.

[whooshing]

The blast seems

to have pushed us

a little more than 20,000

kilometers

from our point of origin.

We cut several thousand of those

off

by heading towards the pod we

found

but we still have

quite aways to go.

- What did you do?

It's okay.

It's okay.

We'll get there.

We need to know what happened to

the crew.

[screaming]

[engine booms]

- I don't know if I can

keep this a secret anymore.

You won't be able to keep hiding

this.

- I know that.

- They're bound to figure it

out.

- I'll handle it.

- How exactly?

It's only going to get worse

and then I'll be obligated.

- Well, I didn't plan for it

to happen like this, okay?

I'm sorry, Myers.

You've been so kind to me

and I have asked so much of you

already.

I hope you don't regret helping

me.

- Okay.

Get some rest.

- What's going to happen to us

really?

- I don't know.

Considering the timeline

it'll be too far along for

termination

and then there's the possibility

that you'll give birth on

Hesperides.

- It will be a citizen.

- If we're still alive.

- Was Thomson right?

Will they condemn us for what

we've done?

- Franklin is...

is difficult

but I think he'll consider the

good

you've done here as well.

- How do you know him.

- We were students together

in pre-med before Caldera.

Let me worry about Franklin.

Get some rest.

[clanging]

[laughing]

That scared me.

I guess I better get some rest

too.

[screaming]

- Miller, what's going on down

there.

- Myers, Myers, Myers.

[dramatic music]

- Miller?

I'm coming down.

- No.

Don't touch me, don't touch me.

- Whoa, whoa, hey, hey.

Are you hurt?

What the heck happened?

Where's Myers?

My God, is that his blood?

Myers?

- Forget this.

- No, no, no, no, no.

- Why not?

You have to let me go down

there.

- It must have come in with you

when I let you in.

It's what attacked me in the

other pod.

- [Thomson] What attacked you?

I thought you said it was...

What is it?

- I don't know.

It was a...

[screaming]

It was small.

It cut open.

Before I even realized what was

happening

and then it was too late

and then it was gone.

- Where did it go?

- I don't know.

There was so much blood.

I tried to save him but I

couldn't.

- Where did it go?

- The maintenance shaft.

- The maintenance shaft?

- Sh*t, can it get up here?

Does that shaft lead to

anywhere?

- All of the major systems.

Food, navigation, life support.

They all have main wiring ducts

that lead up from the central

core shaft.

It's in the walls.

- Is it just gonna pop

out of the food dispenser?

- You really are a moron.

- Miller, where's the gun?

I think it might be time we

put the bullets back in it.

- It's downstairs.

[dramatic music]

- Are you ready?

It's always me.

[gasping]

[footsteps clammer]

- Oh my God.

- Where's the gun?

- It's under the pillow on the

bunk.

- Get it.

[dramatic music]

What are we gonna do about

Myers?

We can't just leave him here,

right?

- Let's just get upstairs.

- I command you to open this

door.

That's a direct order, roach.

- Maybe we'd be better

off bringing him back in.

- We don't know that he's

not involved in all of this.

- What's going on?

Where is Myers?

- He's dead.

You happy, Domer.

You got more oxygen to breathe.

- You all don't fully

understand the situation

you are dealing with here.

- He's right.

We don't.

We need to find out exactly

what that thing is.

- Give it here.

[dramatic music]

- Wait, stop there.

- See if you can find a clearer

frame.

[gasping]

- What the hell.

- Is that?

[gasping]

That's in here?

[gasping]

[screeching]

[panting]

[dramatic music]

How did something like

that even get in here?

- What exactly did you

guys see on the other pod?

- Like Myers said,

incubators, glass tubes.

- They were exactly like the

ones we have down on E deck

and we used them to

hatch the chickens with

but these, they were for

something much bigger.

- What do you know about this?

- I am telling you nothing

until you let me out of here.

- We have a situation here.

All of our lives are in danger.

You need to tell us what you

know.

- Sagan 98 was a

biological transport ship.

- Yes, a lot of them are.

- This one was different.

Found this earlier after I

bypassed

some of Franklin's access codes.

Humans handle the low oxygen

ratio fine

but not our livestock,

so there's been an ongoing

project

to modify the Earth

species with the alien DNA.

- What does that mean?

- It means hybrid alien animals.

- Wait, no but they

can't possibly do that.

I mean, can they do that?

- It seems like they've

been having some success

but I can't get into

the rest of the files.

[beeping]

- I have to know.

- He was right.

We should not have opened the

air lock and let you back in.

[beeping]

- Greetings.

This is Captain Arnold

Reguine of the UGS Sagan 99

en route to Hesperides.

If you are receiving this

message,

then you are one of the few

survivors

of the UGS Sagan 98.

I regret to inform you that our

vessel

will be unable to come to your

aid.

We have picked up those pods

that have been in our immediate

reach,

but we hold no hope that others

remain.

UGS Sagan 100 is aware about

your disaster and will,

like us, make every effort

to bring you to safety.

I only pray that you have

enough resources available

for the next 18 days.

Onward and upward.

- How the hell did that happen?

I mean, can we send a message to

him?

- It's no use.

They're already gone.

- 18 days.

- If we full thrust towards
