Your well being is my priority.

Leave me alone Meryl.

I sometimes come down here for

some peace and.

What is all this?

Listening kit,

it used to be a spy ship,

until she got too old.

What should we do with the body?

Just leave it.

It's the best place for

it I think, until we get.

Do we need

access to that section?

We shouldn't do, unless we

need to check on

I think that's a bad idea.

Did you manage to speak to him?

No, he was already gone.

He's left

us in a bit of a mess eh?

You didn't

need to be so hard on him.

He must have been scared,

I know he

had unfinished business.

Anyway,

he's gone, it was quick.

What's that?

Oh, it's Paula's.

Sorry, I forgot.

It's hard to stop thinking

about her.

We have arrived at

the coordinates.

Get to the docking controls,

I'll suit up.

Am I not going down?

Someone's got to stay onboard.

Have you

got a problem with that?

Fine

I cannot check the interior of the

station for pathogens or toxins.

I recommend you take full

biohazard precautions.

Three meters,

two meters

one meter,

soft dock,

clamps locking,

safe to unlock.

Harry!

Harry!

Harry!

There's no point trying to

ignore me love,

you know I don't like it when

you go all quiet.

Don't, I told you, I told you

this would happen!

I said, you need to make

yourself useful!

I can't wait around for ever!

You know that don't you?

I am useful!

Yes I am, father said I was,

you idiot, you useless idiot!

I haven't seen you around here

before.

That's right...

You just got here.

What the f*** are you doing?

What does it look like?

Have you been in space too long?

Have you gone a bit potty?

It's okay,

what the hell is that thing?

Oh how rude of me,

I'm Emily, and this is...

Well he doesn't really have

a name but,

he's very friendly

I'd like to say they don't

bite but,

they do, yes.

Yes.

It bloody hurts.

First,

you fall asleep,

and then later, you wake up and,

that's if he hasn't been

chewing away at you,

you feel fine then!

What?

I don't understand.

It's alright love,

here!

Stay back!

I said stay back!

Who is that?

Where is everyone else?

This is Stewart, this is

Stewart, oh he's great.

He's a really nice guy,

I've really got to know him

over the years.

Do you have an engineer?

We did,

now that you're here,

you're lucky,

we are the lucky ones!

Are you

alone? My ship,

I'm trying to get back to earth.

What are you trying to get

back to earth for?

Have you lost your mind?

Haven't you heard?

This is a time of death

for nearly everyone.

We're the privileged few.

Yes I know, I'll tell him.

We'll have

to repopulate you know,

Stewart wasn't interested but...

You can help, yes,

you can help me.

This is my

garden, and I'm the boss.

I just want to go home.

Oh, good!

Because

that's where we're going,

as soon as the aliens leave,

I'll see you there I guess.

Well, that is why you

gave us a ship?

Thank you captain!

Oh Buggar!

Where am I?

Please help me!

Oops!

Please remain calm!

The patient is awake, toxic

traces present.

You are so

lucky that we found you!

They don't usually attack,

I don't know why they did that,

they must have taken a disliking

to you!

Who are you?

Good question!

The patient responds

normally, we can begin the.

What is this place?

What was this place,

we are sitting on one of

the first off-world mining

then a penal colony,

then quickly forgotten.

What else is here?

Look, we need help,

the computer...

There are colonists,

we all share the same

basic vision now.

The previous tenants, on the

other hand,

well,

how are you feeling?

Rough.

Sh*t!

Uh uh, relax, relax!

You were out like a light

that bite you sustained,

is quite poisonous.

But don't you worry!

You won't feel anymore pain now.

Pilot second class Charles

s. Finch.

Not Emerson?

Where's the captain?

I don't know.

What do you know of fate?

I know I'm

not supposed to be here,

I don't know what you're

talking about.

Our master plan, our

mapped out future my son.

This has been our home for more

than forty years,

everything here, I have saved

for posterity.

It's all relevant.

Do you know what this is?

This has fate sewn up in

it's pages,

this is life,

everything you see here

will be useful to our

but, you're not mentioned!

Unless,

unless you're the twist,

an unexplored corner of

this map,

a clue we've overlooked.

Who are you?

Oh, who are we?

First we were banished to

this place,

then forgotten by the penal

system,

we didn't care.

I, and a few like

minded visionaries...

Have been waiting here, all

this time.

Our founder wrote down

everything we need to know,

within the pages of this book.

It's a work of genius,

perfectly predicting, every

single event, through every.

We have kept it's secrets all

this time,

look.

Here's the sanctuary in the

heavens where we are now,

here's the earth when a

terrible fate befalls it,

and here's your ship!

No, we're not even supposed

to be here,

there was an accident and

the computer just went.

It tried to kill me.

Look, we just need to get some

help now!

Who wrote this book?

An amazing man,

his daughter wrote the final

chapter.

She calculated our fate,

she kept the book safe and

passed it down to us.

The weapon aboard your ship...

It's the only means that

human kind has of defending.

Well, she had to take that

piece off the board!

She died in the twentieth century,

leaving specific instruction.

She is here!

She wrote the book, she is

on your ship!

There's no one on the ship!

Well, you know, it's funny.

Funny, this remarkable book

has been faultless in.

Everything, and everyone's

purpose has been foreseen.

Hello from the children

of planet earth

you must contact control

immediately,

back away or you will be

fired upon!

Trying to fight won't help,

nothing going to stop them now!

Our time, our purpose is about

to be realised,

we will set a course to earth,

we will repopulate,

we will start afresh!

The stellar fusion device aboard

your ship...

Will provide us with all

the power that we need.

We have waited for this moment

for centuries.

Unfortunately

mister Finch, the pages don't.

Okay.

Yes sir.

Get this thing off me!

Don't struggle son, we must all

come to terms with our destiny!

X-91 administered.

Don't leave the bodies in the

forest again,

the Venators are developing

a taste for human.

Yes sir.

Do not move!

You know, I'm not sure I like

you in my garden.

I'm not sure I need you

in my garden.

Why is it? Why?

That everything that comes here

turns nasty!

They want the ship.
