No, just enjoying the view.
Well, there's no better to way to see the world, than with us.
So I've been told.
Well if you need anything, please feel free to ask me. Just a reminder we have fabulous cuisine available 24 hours in the earthrise room, and a large selection of vintage wines here in our ship bar.
Yes Mac, but the guests are requesting it. It will reduce the level of negative feedback.
That is one of my priorities.
Oh right, right you're on that research grant.
That's right.
Ryan Taylor, first mate. Welcome aboard. First time in space?
Yes. Theoretical discoveries aside, there's nothing like the real thing. How about you?
This is my second commercial flight. I used to run satellite freighters but that got old fast.
So you were looking for a new challenge.
Well, plus the money ain't that bad. DAWN So, tell me, do you think everyone gets their million dollars' worth on this trip of a lifetime?
Well, let me put it this way. Most of the cost is due to safety reasons. Most people are not familiar with space travel, so we have to take extra precautions in the event they do something careless.
Like open an airlock by mistake?
Well I don't think there's a chance of that happening. It's usually the moon walks. Sometimes you feel like a kindergarten teacher.
Well I hope I don't do anything careless.
I'm sure you'll be all right.
Actually I've logged about 200 hours of simulated space walking at the institute, mostly related to starship construction.
Really?
Still, I hope I behave on the moon. I'll stick close to you.
What are we going to do?
I don't know.
We don't.
Well maybe there's a way out of here.
Fat chance of that. Even if we had C4 and a laser torch these doors wouldn't budge. That son of a bitch...that stupid son of a bitch.
Given a malfunction, how would a rescue team get you out if the doors won't open?
Probably come through the wall I suppose.
Well maybe we can do something like that.
I don't think you know what you're talking about. Besides, what could we use for tools? A steak knife? A corkscrew?
Just considering our options... sir.
Supposing we could get out of this room? Is there anything we could do to reach the bridge?
It depends on the condition of the ship. If I could get to one of the suit compartments I could check the exterior air locks for a possible entry.
Can't we access the mainframe to check the ship's condition?
With what? How am I going to interface with it? I need to be able to talk to the system and to have the system talk to me.
OK...it's open.
Seen one like it before?
Sure. It complies with all standard construction codes.
Great.
Damn it. If only we could get to those suits... Dawn then thinks of something
Why can't we?
I don't know the condition of the compartments. Depending on damage, debris...could be a fatal mistake.
And suppose you couldn't hold out?
Suppose you didn't have to hold your breath?
We could send Mac. If he can retrieve one suit, we could go back for the other.
You're right.
He certainly is polite.
Close every door behind you!
It must be oxygenated if we can hear him.
Yeah, let's hope he can find a way through.
If I could get to the bridge I could send the distress signal.
Even if we do, it might be too late.
Everyone just stay put.
Wait.
I can't let you do that.
Look I know what I'm doing. I have experience and training in space walking.
Simulated space walking.
I don't know what we're facing.
I understand.
Are you ready?
Ready as I'll ever be.
Yeah. We did it.
So we did.
You're ready for the real thing?
At this point I'm ready for anything.
Be careful, you don't want to puncture the suit.
Don't worry about me. Where are we going?
Explosive?
One of Barnes' duds, luckily for us. Take this out of the equation right now...
Taylor?
Yeah?
What do you think's going to happen to us?
Well, Dawn, I'm an optimist by nature.
Yeah, but you didn't answer my question.
Do you want some advice?
Sure.
Don't worry about what will happen, just concentrate on what is happening. You'll live longer.
Words to live by.
Dawn! Dawn!
Helllp!
I guess I owe you a debt of gratitude. You saved my life.
It was no time to lose my partner. We're going to have to hurry, he's on to us.
Oh my God. What happened?
The room is filled with poison gas. The hydraulic system must have blown.
What's that?
A schematic of the ship. Looking for a lifeline to the pods.
We don't have enough suits to get the others out.
That's why we need a safe passage. remember what you said earlier, about getting through the wall? That might just be our ticket.
Take this flare.
A flare? A flare won't do it.
No...
A little dab'll do ya. Now you know how to get there, right?
Why? Where are you going?
I'm not going with you.
What? What are you talking about?
There's only room on that pod for seven. That's you and the others. I'm counting on you to get them out of there.
And what are you going to do?!
I'm going to try and buy you some time. I can get to the bridge from here.
But how are you going to escape?
Don't worry about me. There's still a chance I can issue a distress signal.
