fey missaf! Hefoompat!

He says we must be with the Chameleons.

This isn't going well.

Tell them what Lea taught you, that

together we'll kill the Chameleons so

they can live in peace.

Uh oh.

HEM!

Yaliff?

Yey. Yaliff.

Yes. I live.

Pit pey toos meywakafas

But thanks to these visitors I

no longer live in fear.

What are you doing?

The right thing.

Hasim to humm weymish kessil.

This man is a great warrior from

a far off world.

Shelesteyfa. Hasim pash

tuyahessoom sa.

Abomination. It is death for you

to come here.

Is that what you do? You kill

what you don't understand?

What are you afraid of? A little

baby with colored skin?

Kakil fa katunelsh. Wikoolem?

Kasim fesal mo? Solonepsil.

Na helifft mook!

This man killed many Chameleons

after the crash.

How many of you would be dead no

if it were not for him?

Sin amin tukasim rey sellafas.

And now you won't help him

defeat your enemies.

Thooish loos nik mua? Sashoon

tuhameshpa.

Stop living in fear. It's time

to do what must be done.

It is said that our

people have collected and guarded these down

through the ages. Some stolen from

the Chameleons. Some passed down

from the dark times. Awaiting a day to strike.

The Chameleons still hold many of our people

as slaves. We will help you, if

you help us.

We'll do it together.

So this is how they disappeared

so quickly after the crash.

Yeah.

Hehoolt lif sen Kamelonafas ta. Soolu.

Tunoos piffes. Tuhool piffes.

He say tat there is about a

hundred Chameleons.

There may be more.

So what's the plan.

We need a diversion. We get back

to basics. Come on.

Hatunnt kisiwin:
Thoo hesim hoowa, sin tuyapakpa

Sool tuyahessoom shorith tuyalif kon.

So you really think this is

gonna work?

These are zookeepers or

scientist, not soldiers.

Even if they were, who would

they be fighting?

The humanoids would never attack

them.

Hope you're right.

Fire!

Ok. Let's go.

Come on!

Let's get out of here and find

your friends.

Hey.

What happend? Where did they go?

Ok. Ok. Ok.

It's still energized.

Uh-That will work.

Look, we'll have to look for

them.

Hope our diversion's still

working.

We're going to risk our lives

for them?

That's what they are doing for

us.

Fine. Let's get this over with.

Foot prints.

Go. Go. Go. Go.

Go. I got your back.

What?

Go on. I'll catch up.

It's my turn to be a heroic son

of a b*tch.

Go!

I got this.

What your 6.

I guess I'll be taking that

fancy gun of yours.

Lea?

Lea no!

Lea!

- Oh no.

- Oh no.

Down!

Lea.

No what? We're sitting ducks.

Well bulid uh-We'll build a

plasma field.

The Jungle version. A Wall of

fire.

Methane. Shoot the ground.

Lea.

You alright?

I'm ok.

Are you crazy? You could have

been killed.

TIM. Come on.

Here.

I regret I am unable to assist

you at this time.

You saved my life.

That is my purpose.

Is the power cell damaged.

If it were, none of us would be

here.

- Take it and go.

- What?

I would be happy to perform one

last piece of assistance.

I will wait for our pursuers and

then self-destruct.

It should be a significant

explosion.

No. We'll take you with us.

I cannot allow you to endanger

yourself for me again.

You don't have any choice.

Let's get the hell off this

planet.

Come on.

Take, Take him. Take him.

Grab him.

Where's Peebles?

He was with you.

Keep going. Move! Move!

Go Go Go!

- Here take this. - I'll catch up.

- You'll need this.

Damn. This will never work.

We'll lead them right back to

the cave.

Captain. Take TIM and the

others.

Back through the Mountain. Get

to the ship.

You'll be killed.

I'm dying on earth not here.

I'll come with you.

The more people the better the

decoy.

Alright. Move on 2. 1...2.

Are you sure about this? There could be more

then a few Chameleons zookeepers out there.

We'll head for the river. Find

us.

- Alright.

- Go!

Go!

- Don't you want me?

- What are you doing?

Of course I want you.

You belong here with your

people.

You are my people.

Alright. Ready? Go. 1, 2.

Follow me. There's a boat!

There it is!

Get in.

Colin where's the power cell?

Looks like we lost them.

That wasn't so bad.

Dammit.

I was hopping they only had one

of those.

Colin where are you?

Paddle Paddle Paddle!

Give me your hand. Give me your

hand.

Pull.

You took your time.

Good to see ya.

Altus Exodus?

Come on!

Well that explains why we

crashed.

Some kind of planetary defense

system.

Probably automated.

I'll take a few moments for the

computer to figure out where er are.

Alright.

Problem?

This doesn't make sense.

Nothing is where it should be.

I my have the answer to that

this time.

We arrived at Barnard's Star after a

flight time approximately 10 years.

What?

No habitable planets were

observed, so we continued on.

Eventually reaching more then 99

percent the speed of light.

Several other systems were also uninhabitable

and with Cryo liability limited to

100 years, I instructed the ship to initiate

a return trajectory hopes to whatever the

outcomes of the war, Earth might

still be habitable.

You're saying we've been gone a 100 years?

And we crashed on some habitable planet

on the way back to Earth?

Relativity is a b*tch Frank. It's been 100 years for us.

But on Earth it has been...

Approximately 325,000 years have

passed here.

Wait? Here?

The AE successfully returned

home.

That's not Earth. Earth is blue. And

what about that ring around it?

We're the moon?

I would suggest the alien

invaders destroyed it.

The ring is the debris left

behind.

Why would they destroy the moon?

With no tidal influence, the surface

of the world would grow flatter.

And with the runaway greenhouse effect, the

planet would eventually become covered

in tropical jungle and shallow

seas.

Perfect for a race of

Chameleons.

- Why didn't you tell us!? Huh?

- FRANK!

Peebles and Hannah and all the rest.

They died trying to get home.

When all this time there was

nowhere to go. Was there?

- Frank.

- What there?!

If I had told you, will you've

had the will to go on?

My programming shows that a

goal, a reason to live is one of

the most critical factors in

human happiness.

So you were trying to make us

happy.

He didn't have the heart.

What?

He's saying he didn't have the

heart to tell us.

I- I promised her.

Your people...

You're us.

Lea's skin is may be the next

step in human evolution.

We can't go home Frank. We're

already there.

Yes we are.

And we are going to have to

adapt.

How?

We're going to take back our

world.

It's going to be a long long

fight.

Yeah. But there is no place like

home.
