Sir, did you not respect Daniel?

Did you not like him?

[]

Sir, why did Daniel leave?

What did I tell you?

Well, you said that he was promoted.

Exactly. Exactly. He was promoted.

All right, you know what?

I want to settle this once and for all.

There seems to be

a little confusion about this Daniel thing.

That's really not necessary.

Attention all crew members.

Hear ye, hear ye.

Regarding Daniel's departure,

which there seems to be

a lot of confusion about.

I want to tell you this once and for all,

Daniel was promoted.

Okay?

Yeah, and also,

I am given to believe

there was some

family emergency as well.

So there you have it

in black and white.

Case closed.

[GAS HISSING]

[SIGHS]

SHIP:
Warning, airborne chemical

detected in tank storage three.

Now ventilating.

Hey, Sunshine.

What are you up to?

Um, just talking to my mom

about different things.

It's not about you.

It's about someone else.

I have a little bit of free time

if you want to go the arboretum with me.

Um...

No thanks.

We could look at the bonsai tree

like you like to do. You don't want to go?

Well, is it, um, just

that you don't want to go

or you don't want to go with me?

It's just because I don't want to go,

for some reason.

I don't know why,

but I just don't really want to.

Okay. I understand.

Listen, it was really cool

talking to you.

[COMPUTER BEEPS]

SHIP:
Attention crew, don't forget to

vote for the new cafeteria wallpaper.

Decision will be final at 1200 hours.

[DOORBELL CHIMES]

BOTH:

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you...

Very... That's very good.

I'm a little busy right now.

Please don't inhibit her creativity.

BOTH:
We wish you a merry

Christmas And a happy New Year

Merry Christmas!

Okay. Come on.

Hologram chamber on.

DANIEL:
Hold on one second.

Let me come out. Sorry.

[DANIEL CLEARS THROAT]

I've... Glenn?

Daniel. Uh, this is a bad time.

You know, I could

hologram later. I'm sorry.

What is it, Glenn?

Um, you look good. How are you?

I'm great.

You look great.

So you're on the Nostradamus now.

Yep. You found me.

I guess you got that promotion.

Yes, incredibly.

Considering what happened.

Right. Anyway...

Also serving under Lawrence Wilson.

Fantastic leader.

Total role model.

Uh, wait.

Larry Wilson is the captain of the

Nostradamus? You gotta be kidding me.

He's actually an admiral now

Yeah.

And I believe he prefers "Lawrence."

Well, I mean, you know,

I've known him for years as Larry so...

I know that one very well. Ahem.

Not like that.

I don't know him that well.

Oh my God,

it's okay to know a man well, Glenn.

Reason for calling, um,

besides saying hi,

I just want to know if you happened

to get this notice. What was it?

Yeah, "You are required to report

to 20 hours of therapy."

I mean,

over your little AWOL episode.

Did you happen to get this too?

This one?

My little episode?

My little episode, Glenn?

Well, Daniel, you are the one that left.

I left because you had to be drunk

to make love to me

then you sobbed

in your pillow afterwards.

I want to remind you

that you have to be very careful

about the way you talk

about these things, um,

especially in therapy because that...

It's very delicate...

Aye-aye, sir.

And careers can be affected.

Just...

What? Is someone with you?

No, no, no. I need to go.

Was he there the whole time?

You don't have to worry about...

Who? Who was it? Was it Larry?

Bye, Glenn.

SHIP:
End of tape.

DANIEL:
End of what?

Nothing. Nothing.

Were you recording this?

You sad, pathetic...

[]

Hey.

Hi.

I got your message. What...?

I, um, really need... Aah! Ow!

Oh, God.

Are you okay?

Here, sit down. Sit down.

Okay. Okay.

Sorry it's so late.

No.

I just, um...

I needed to talk to someone.

Yeah.

Do you ever...?

Do you ever feel like you're

just floating around in space

and there's no one there?

I mean, no one there to check you or...

I don't know. I mean,

there's no family or friends or...

I don't know.

Do you ever feel crazy?

[OVER RECORDING] Glenn?

GLENN:
Daniel. Sorry.

[TAPE REWINDING]

No, no, no, I need to go.

GLENN:
Was he there the whole time?

You don't have to worry about...

GLENN:

Well, Daniel, you are the one that left.

DANIEL:
I left because you had

to be drunk to make love to me

then you sobbed in your pillow...

To make love to me, then you...

To make love to me...

I feel like we have so much in common.

I do too.

I mean, we're both

these fractured people.

You lost your hand

in battle and I...

I am... I have

I...

Yeah, um...

I didn't...

I didn't lose my hand in battle.

I shot it off while cleaning a laser-refractor

piston my first week of service.

So...

I don't care.

I understand.

I...

[ROBOTIC HAND

SERVOS WHIRRING]

Ow.

Sorry. Okay, let me...

Ted.

No, I have to... It's okay. Stay still.

Ow. That hurts.

Ow, Ted, make... Make it stop!

I'm sorry. Oh, God.

Get it off! Ow! Get it off! Ow!

No, if I get it... You have to...

Ow, ow, ow!

Stop. Darn it!

You had to...

Yeah, do it like this.

Oh, God. I'm... I am...

Okay, well, I mean...

My hand just... You know...

It was my fault.

No, no, it wasn't.

It was my hand.

No, no.

Just got a little...

I turned it on.

I think I should go now.

What?

No, we... Can we?

Hello, I am Dr. Bot.

Hello.

Searching voice database records.

GLENN [ON RECORDING]:

Hello.

DR. BOT:

Welcome, Lieutenant Glenn Terry.

Actually, it's "captain" now.

Updating file.

Welcome, Captain Glenn Terry.

Shall we take a voyage

of discovery together?

Why not?

What problems inside

of Captain Glenn

would Captain Glenn

like to work on?

Just for the record,

I have no problems inside of me at all.

And this is new for me.

This was not...

Being open to change is the first step

on the road to mental health.

I just need you people to know

that I'm not being hesitant.

Hesitation often leads to revelation.

Duly noted.

I have noted it as well.

That would be the "duly" part.

That's the two of us.
