00:
45:47,296 -- 00:45:48,828

- Didn't you call this meeting?

- Yes, yes.

935

00:
45:48,863 -- 00:45:50,683

Uh, I was just trying to, uh--

You okay?

936

00:
45:51,061 -- 00:45:52,571

- I'm fine.

- You are? Great.

937

00:
45:52,622 -- 00:45:54,597

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- You look good.

938

00:
45:54,633 -- 00:45:55,383

Thank you.

939

00:
45:55,764 -- 00:45:58,764

Okay, uh,

yeah, you all look good.

940

00:
45:58,799 -- 00:46:00,233

So, uh...

941

00:
46:00,267 -- 00:46:02,403

on the--

on the go/no go, um...

942

00:
46:02,633 -- 00:46:03,705

I made the decision.

943

00:
46:06,298 -- 00:46:07,261

It's go.

944

00:
46:07,435 -- 00:46:09,137

We're going on.

We're not turning back.

945

00:
46:09,172 -- 00:46:11,268

- so I want a full systems check.

- Wait, just like that?

946

00:
46:11,636 -- 00:46:13,831

You're really

not gonna give us a say.

947

00:
46:15,198 -- 00:46:16,447

[scoffs]

948

00:
46:18,680 -- 00:46:19,985

Wha--

949

00:
46:23,542 -- 00:46:24,660

[sighs]

Uh...

950

00:
46:24,842 -- 00:46:25,905

Look, um...

951

00:
46:27,644 -- 00:46:30,166

I know it's been--It's been--

It's been a tough few months,

952

00:
46:30,345 -- 00:46:33,239

and--and, uh,

a lot of that's on me.

953

00:
46:34,714 -- 00:46:35,800

You know, I--

954

00:
46:35,913 -- 00:46:37,982

I've been hard

on--on all of you,

955

00:
46:38,017 -- 00:46:40,451

when the truth is you--you've

just been doing your jobs.

956

00:
46:40,486 -- 00:46:41,210

You know, in fact...

957

00:
46:42,882 -- 00:46:44,783

iwe've all just been

doing our jobs,/i

958

00:
46:44,818 -- 00:46:48,228

iyou know, focusing so hard

on the tasks in front of us/i

959

00:
46:48,263 -- 00:46:50,590

ithat--that

we couldn't see clearly./i

960

00:
46:50,625 -- 00:46:51,792

But now...

961

00:
46:53,920 -- 00:46:56,624

uh, now it's all there,

right in front of us,

962

00:
46:56,787 -- 00:46:58,562

you know,

like--like it always was.

963

00:
46:58,690 -- 00:47:00,210

- What's in front of us?

- Well, everything.

964

00:
47:00,932 -- 00:47:02,873

I mean, i-it's all

about to change;

965

00:
47:02,921 -- 00:47:05,430

everything we know,

everything we believe.

966

00:
47:07,526 -- 00:47:08,319

But you're right.

967

00:
47:08,826 -- 00:47:10,255

You're absolutely right...

968

00:
47:12,113 -- 00:47:13,660

Absolutely right.

969

00:
47:14,161 -- 00:47:15,286

I'll make this a vote.

970

00:
47:15,997 -- 00:47:17,605

Yeah, right now...

971

00:
47:19,264 -- 00:47:21,030

a go/no go vote

from everyone.

972

00:
47:21,098 -- 00:47:23,215

We'll start with

the doc.

973

00:
47:23,633 -- 00:47:25,394

You're the man with the problem.

What do you think?

974

00:
47:26,167 -- 00:47:26,783

Huh?

975

00:
47:28,135 -- 00:47:28,765

Uh...

976

00:
47:29,969 -- 00:47:32,917

A few days ago,

I would have said no, no way,

977

00:
47:32,952 -- 00:47:34,608

but...

[chuckles]

978

00:
47:36,492 -- 00:47:39,296

Today, I--I had

this experience.

979

00:
47:39,331 -- 00:47:40,766

In your virt module,

right?

980

00:
47:42,129 -- 00:47:42,882

Yes.

981

00:
47:44,230 -- 00:47:45,325

[chuckles]

982

00:
47:45,765 -- 00:47:48,265

Well, kind of a glitch,

actually.

983

00:
47:48,300 -- 00:47:49,999

There's a lot

of that going around.

984

00:
47:50,034 -- 00:47:54,267

Well, whatever it was,

it--it suddenly forced me to...

985

00:
47:55,772 -- 00:47:56,966

let go.

986

00:
47:57,510 -- 00:47:58,830

Of everything,

you know?

987

00:
47:58,865 -- 00:48:00,202

- I felt--

- Alive.

988

00:
48:00,237 -- 00:48:01,230

- Yes.

- Yes.

989

00:
48:01,238 -- 00:48:02,763

Exactly.

Alive.

990

00:
48:04,729 -- 00:48:05,354

And?

991

00:
48:05,389 -- 00:48:07,189

Well, I know

this much--

992

00:
48:07,572 -- 00:48:09,157

I want

to see Eridani.

993

00:
48:09,406 -- 00:48:10,235

Great.

994

00:
48:10,441 -- 00:48:11,963

So doc's

made his decision.

995

00:
48:12,308 -- 00:48:13,192

Sue.

996

00:
48:13,242 -- 00:48:14,565

Thought

you'd never ask.

997

00:
48:14,943 -- 00:48:15,474

Go.

998

00:
48:15,843 -- 00:48:16,452

Alice?

999

00:
48:17,777 -- 00:48:18,495

Go.

1000

00:
48:18,978 -- 00:48:20,468

Manny, Val?

Come on, guys.

1001

00:
48:20,503 -- 00:48:21,976

Hook me up

with a double play, huh?

1002

00:
48:22,511 -- 00:48:23,736

I-I say go.

1003

00:
48:23,911 -- 00:48:25,055

Good to go, Commander.

1004

00:
48:25,145 -- 00:48:27,101

Yeah.

Uh, Kenji, what do you say?

1005

00:
48:27,147 -- 00:48:27,747

Go.

1006

00:
48:27,782 -- 00:48:28,782

- What?

- Go.

1007

00:
48:28,817 -- 00:48:29,218

Yeah.

1008

00:
48:29,253 -- 00:48:30,501

[laughing]

1009

00:
48:30,591 -- 00:48:33,714

Okay, Roger,

Roger, it's your turn.

1010

00:
48:35,583 -- 00:48:36,776

This is a sham.

1011

00:
48:37,652 -- 00:48:39,298

We don't live

in a democracy.

1012

00:
48:41,319 -- 00:48:43,063

You've already made

your mind up, Frank.

1013

00:
48:45,887 -- 00:48:46,799

It's a vote.

1014

00:
48:47,388 -- 00:48:49,691

Go or no go.

1015

00:
48:50,793 -- 00:48:52,309

It's what

we're here to do.

1016

00:
48:52,457 -- 00:48:53,627

Exactly.

1017

00:
48:53,691 -- 00:48:55,701

- Rika?

- Go.

1018

00:
48:55,792 -- 00:48:56,965

Great. Billie?

1019

00:
48:57,226 -- 00:48:58,682

- Um, go.

- Yeah.

1020

00:
48:58,726 -- 00:48:59,651

Jules, my man.

1021

00:
49:00,919 -- 00:49:02,349

Well, I didn't design it

to stay.

1022

00:
49:02,401 -- 00:49:03,804

[laughter]

That a boy.

1023

00:
49:03,895 -- 00:49:06,864

And finally, Dr. J.

1024

00:
49:08,442 -- 00:49:09,047

Let's hear it

1025

00:
49:09,087 -- 00:49:12,069

from Phaeton's

second-in-command.

1026

00:
49:13,100 -- 00:49:16,401

The man who'll be left

holding the bag

1027

00:
49:16,436 -- 00:49:17,745

after the bus.

1028

00:
49:18,468 -- 00:49:20,192

Huh?

What do you say, Jimmy?

1029

00:
49:21,169 -- 00:49:22,256

Seriously?

1030

00:
49:22,737 -- 00:49:24,650

You ready

for an adventure, or...

1031

00:
49:25,238 -- 00:49:27,435

You want to just...

roll on home?

1032

00:
49:28,639 -- 00:49:30,451

[chuckles]

That's Moby Dick.

1033

00:
49:32,074 -- 00:49:33,541

Yeah, yeah, go.

1034

00:
49:33,576 -- 00:49:34,797

Hey, that's it, then!

1035

00:
49:35,322 -- 00:49:37,976

Okay, full systems

check at 0900.

1036

00:
49:38,044 -- 00:49:39,521

Let's do this, people.

1037

00:
49:39,978 -- 00:49:40,976

- Whoo!

- Let's do this.

1038

00:
49:41,044 -- 00:49:42,129

[laughter]

Okay.

1039

00:
49:43,224 -- 00:49:44,179

- What'd you expect?

- Come on.

1040

00:
49:44,214 -- 00:49:45,943

Eridani,

here we come.

1041

00:
49:46,577 -- 00:49:48,303

[laughter]

Yes.

1042

00:
49:48,678 -- 00:49:50,410

[indistinct chatter]

1043

00:
49:53,260 -- 00:49:54,753

So what's gotten

into you?

1044

00:
49:55,603 -- 00:49:58,915

You know, I'm not sure

I can put this into words, Rika.

1045

00:
49:58,950 -- 00:49:59,349

[chuckles]

1046

00:
49:59,389 -- 00:50:01,716

In fact, I know

I can't put it into words, but...
