Somnus Page #2

I can only half understand what

death is.

Death is when there's nothing,

absolutely nothing.

It's black, silence

I do not understand.

A death wish, that's what I'd

call it.

A ship with a death wish,

it's not good for the crew.

Communications failure,

attempting to relink, wait.

Communications failure,

attempting to relink, wait.

Communications failure,

attempting to relink, wait.

Ah, sh*t!

Come on!

Oh, sh*t!

What are you doing Rupert?

I just thought I'd fix this

before we die from.

Okay.

Is everything alright?

Yeah yeah I'm fine why?

Have you

noticed anything unusual?

No, no I haven't, why?

I think I found the problem with

the radio.

What sort of problem?

Shh!

She'll hear you

what sort of problem?

I mean the radio, there

was nothing wrong with it

I checked it the day before,

and Meryl said there was nothing

wrong with it.

What are you talking about?

I think it's Finch

I'm not sure, I can't

get into the transponder

it can't be, I was with

him on the command deck.

It must be, he must have got

her to cut the power!

Are you sure you're not

being paranoid again.

All I am saying, is the

malfunctions on this ship

have nothing to do with

the fact that the ship is.

Have you gone mad?

No, there is something going on,

I'm sure of it!

The radio was disconnected.

Now I've got to go through the

whole ship to find out where.

Okay, look into it.

Don't say anything to Finch,

or her.

I could do

without the arguments.

Okay Harry.

How is she?

She's getting worse.

She's questioning her whole

existence now.

Can we do anything?

No, unless she lets me

go into her core,

it could be dangerous.

Right, we need to get

this radio sorted out

I've got to send a report

about that accident in the.

Yeah yeah,

I'm sorry I didn't know.

Just get this sh*t sorted out,

and don't

start another fire okay?

What if he is tampering

with the computer?

I'll deal with it, just

keep talking to her,

be careful!

Is there a problem gentlemen?

Hi Meryl, no it's all fine.

You appear stressed,

would you like a cup of tea?

It's alright Meryl, he just gets

neurotic.

Good work Rupert!

Access to that section

is unavailable to the

I know we aren't going home

how can you tell?

You don't

want us to go home right?

I don't want anything, I

go where the crew goes.

The crew doesn't matter

to you anymore.

What is it Rupert?

I'm here to help in anyway I can

I know your mission Meryl.

Our destiny has

beenbr /changed by a force we.

We have a more important

mission now.

We need to tell Harry

I need the crew to perform

to their full potential

I'm not in control.

The crew doesn't control this

ship anymore,

what can we do?

If you found something unusual

onboard...

You would tell me?

You found something in the

unused sections, didn't you?

The master control key,

required to active the fusion

device within the hold

I honestly don't know what

you're talking about.

You know where it is.

Where have you hidden it Rupert?

I won't tell you

I can't tell you, and you

know why

you understand why!

I need full control of

this ship,

our survival depends on it.

You can't keep doing this!

I'm the engineer right?

The standard procedure is to

deactivate the operating.

It has happened on other ships.

Never on this ship!

There is no need here,

and I won't allow it

I want to go home Meryl

I want to go home!

Home?

Earth.

We cannot make it there now,

there is no time for that.

I need to check the core.

I don't want to be De-activated

Rupert!

I won't, I promise.

Meryl?

I was installed aboard

the ocelot in the year

there have been no recorded

logic errors since that date

I just need you to do what I say

this time,

just this time!

You can enter the core

room and check for errors.

Is there a problem with the

air pumps Meryl?

I do not detect a malfunction.

It's alright Meryl.

What are you doing Rupert?

I just need to check a

few things Meryl.

The core is not damaged Rupert.

Is the pressure dropping Meryl?

Check it!

Checking, wait please...

Sound the alarm.

Sound the alarm Meryl!

Alert, there has been a

malfunction Rupert!

Sound the f***ing alarm!

Rupert has activated the ship

alarm from the core room.

What is it?

There has been a decompression

in section fifty-one.

Pump 74a-9

is unresponsive.

Open the hatch Meryl

I cannot do that, it could

decompress the ship.

Warning, you have not effectively

applied your respirator.

Please repeat, I do

not understand.

Open the door Meryl!

I can't let you out, unless

you tell me where it is.

I can save him

I am trying to help,

tell me where it is.

No, no Meryl, you open this

door now!

I can save him

I can try.

Rupert is dead.

Harry? Harry what's going on

down there?

Harry?

Rupert's gone, he's gone!

Rupert's dead

I couldn't save him.

What? I don't understand, it was

just a blown valve

I tried to save him, I couldn't

open the door,

I tried to save him.

That is not possible with

our current manifest.

So we should just dump

the cargo?

I will need a minute

to calculate that.

What is it?

We're being pushed of axis,

and I'm trying to find a

star field fix.

Meryl, what's the problem?

As well as the valve malfunction

which decompressed the.

There was exterior damage to 3e

and 3f coolant feeds.

Surely you can isolate them?

They cannot be isolated before

the pressure

or in other words before we run

out of oxygen reserves.

That is correct.

Options Meryl.

I recommend we divert to mine

station sixteen.

There, we can make repairs

and replenish our gasses.

How long will that add to

the trip?

Approximately seven weeks,

for the added delta-v required

to return to earth from Somnus

I can see where this is going,

it's always the same sh*t!

No no, we should...

A burn input will allow docking.

We have not had contact with

the station for several months.

But they have a forest habitat,

which is designed to

never need replenishing.

I think we should dump

the containers.

We can't.

Why?

I know it's a b*tch, and it's

not going to look good on our

at least

we can get home that way.

We can't.

Did you just hear that?

I need to do a good job, or they

won't complete my contract.

I don't give a sh*t about your

f***ing contract

I want to get home!

I'm sorry, I can't, I don't have

a choice.

Where were you when the

explosion happened?

I was in the transponder room.

Rupert was checking the

computer core,

I told him to go down there

and check it out.

Did he tell you he was going

down there?

No, I hadn't seen him all day.

I want to know exactly

where you were before the

I was putting together the

radio, in the transponder.

You and Rupert weren't

exactly getting on.

Harry, what exactly are you

accusing me of?

I don't know.

Look if we're going to get

home, I need you to work with

I was on the f***ing c deck.

From now on you tell me exactly

where you're going!

I heard the alarm, and I cam
