WEBVTT 1 00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:12.320 Earth Search two, a new adventure serial in Time and 2 00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:18.160 Space by James Follett. Mysterious radio signals are attacking Angel 3 00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:21.839 one and two on board the Challenger. Humans are immune 4 00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:24.440 to the transmissions. Therefore, the Angels have returned to orbit 5 00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:27.679 Paradise in an attempt to persuade Tellson, Shanna, Darve, and 6 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.920 Astra to return to the starship. But the four are 7 00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:33.679 not interested and have moved into their shuttle in order 8 00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:36.079 to resist the great flood that the Angels have engineered 9 00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:42.159 on Paradise. Earth Search two, Part three, Surrender. 10 00:00:49.240 --> 00:01:00.799 Of Chaiastra, Straina. Thou close it down? 11 00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:05.959 I was right, it's not The filter system isn't No, 12 00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:09.560 there's not a reading on the control display. Mechanical failure 13 00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:13.519 status level B catastrophic. Someone's two Great A Service androids 14 00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:14.439 to carry out repairs. 15 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:18.400 Well, it is gone good looking at me. I am 16 00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:20.599 only a great employed. 17 00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:23.640 Last here you can start on these tools, George, I 18 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:23.920 am a. 19 00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:25.719 Four general employed. 20 00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:31.159 I I don't suppose you packed four Grade A service 21 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:35.799 androids When you and Shanna left the Challenger. Someone operated 22 00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:38.159 the purification controls while the system was in the filter 23 00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:41.079 cleaning mode. Everything a float around us was sucked into 24 00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:41.599 the pumps. 25 00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:42.840 Do we know who did it? 26 00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:46.640 No, well it wasn't Bran. Shann and I have turned 27 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:47.079 to stay. 28 00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:49.239 Away from it. And it wasn't Alka a night Bran 29 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:51.959 if alcohol, it doesn't matter who it was. It's done. 30 00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:55.000 So now we have no distillation plant and therefore no 31 00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:56.079 drinking water production. 32 00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:57.400 Did you check the tanks? 33 00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:59.680 Yeah, fifty tons enough to last the six of us. 34 00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:00.760 Well, so there's no. 35 00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.280 Immediate We need five times a day for the animals, 36 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.079 and the two of them are lonely. When you're not 37 00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.319 thinking of throwing them all into the water, are you Tellson? 38 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:16.000 Well, you can't, Kelly, Dove, Dove. I'm sorry, Astra, but 39 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:17.680 we have no hope of repairing this plant. 40 00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:23.439 Their resourcefulness has to be admired. One using their freight 41 00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:26.199 shuttle as a floating home as an inspired move. 42 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:29.599 It merely defers their eventual capitulation. 43 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:33.319 Precipitating storms would endanger the lives of the two children. 44 00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:36.639 They have a water distillation plant, therefore, they could live 45 00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:38.560 in the shuttle for an indefinite period. 46 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:44.199 Unlike us, humans do not have infinite patience. Too. They 47 00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.000 tired of living on a starship as large and as 48 00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:50.159 comfortable as our challenger. Therefore, they will be unable to 49 00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:52.919 accept the prospect of spending the rest of their lives 50 00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:56.280 in a space shuttle. Even if their surrender takes as 51 00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.520 long as three years, their children will not be too 52 00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.120 old for them to be trained to serve us and 53 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:03.400 our great purpose. 54 00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.240 If the attacks do not destroy. 55 00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:09.240 Us first, they are too infrequent for us to consider 56 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:11.800 them as anything other than a minor inconvenience. 57 00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:21.000 That's the challenger's echo centered on the screen. She's still 58 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.520 losing height on each orbit two hundred miles now. Anything 59 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:28.199 lower and she'll be running into atmospheric drag. And she's 60 00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.719 still flooding the radio spectrum when she's over the southern 61 00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:31.759 Parlar regions. 62 00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:33.520 Which means that the angels are still melting the ice. 63 00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:36.199 Care When will they give up their computers? My love? 64 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:37.639 They have unlimited patients. 65 00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:43.080 The screen's gone haywire. If we've lost computer. 66 00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:44.520 Functions, check the backup systems. 67 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:47.639 No, all crashed. 68 00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:50.000 Power still on, and we've still got the manual systems. 69 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.439 That'll be brand messing about in the auxiliary room. 70 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.120 The computer systems are independent of the auxiliary room. Why 71 00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.360 is it astra that when anything goes wrong, you always 72 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:00.159 blame Brat. 73 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:01.080 Because he's usually to. 74 00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:04.439 Both of you. 75 00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.080 All our computer controlled systems have crashed. 76 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:11.000 What is it? 77 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:12.840 It's the same noise that Telson and I heard when 78 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.240 we went back on board the Challengers. Telson, yes, but 79 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.680 put your hand on the holes in our skin. Can 80 00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:20.319 you feel it? 81 00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:22.000 It's vibrating in harmony with the noise. 82 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:25.519 Because what we're hearing is a harmonic The entire hull 83 00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:27.879 of the shuttle is acting as a receiver, so it's. 84 00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:29.079 Being caused by the angels. 85 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.040 I don't see how it can be being computer is 86 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.040 the last thing they try to jam a computer systems? 87 00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:35.279 Yes, and my hunch is that the technology generating that 88 00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:37.360 noise is way in advance of the Challengers systems. 89 00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:47.920 Computers are coming online again. Yea, all computer systems fully restored. 90 00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:50.399 What does anyone make of that? 91 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:54.519 Telson? Do you remember the Challenger's excursion terminal lights flickering 92 00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:55.720 when we first heard that noise? 93 00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:57.319 They did more than a flicker, then rearly went out. 94 00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.480 Why well, supposing that angel for you? 95 00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:06.199 I fetch and carry clean up after you and your 96 00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:07.399 appalling children. 97 00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:09.959 Try to keep everything tidy. 98 00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:12.839 Now you've gone too far. 99 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:19.120 This is an official complaint to complaints go away, not 100 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:21.560 until I've lodged my complaints. 101 00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.199 Maybe we'd better hear him out. We won't get any lunch. 102 00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:28.279 I do my best to keep ahead of my cleaning 103 00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:32.759 and tidying schedule despite these attempts at sabotage. 104 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:34.360 What are you talking about? 105 00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:39.319 And now you've started gagging me and messing up my coordination? 106 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:45.560 What it happened several times before the flood. They lasted for. 107 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:49.000 A few seconds, and I was prepared to ignore them, 108 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:50.720 But not this time. 109 00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:51.519 Ignore what. 110 00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:53.519 I won't stand. 111 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:57.800 For it, losing coordination like that and not being able 112 00:05:57.839 --> 00:05:58.759 to call for help. 113 00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:00.920 What happens to graceful, Tidy? 114 00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:01.519 You treat me? 115 00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:03.000 What happened? Tidy? 116 00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:07.480 All I know is that when it happens, I suddenly 117 00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:13.240 can't speak and I lose coordination. The one just now 118 00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:16.399 was long enough to prevent me from doing anything properly. 119 00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:22.240 It was dreadful, dreadful. I've got another. 120 00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:26.519 Complaint, Tidy. Will you turn around a moment, please? What 121 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:28.879 I just want to take a look inside you? 122 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:34.759 Ah, yes, that's my central intelligence unity. 123 00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:36.439 Careful dove, that's right. 124 00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:40.560 Don't you go messing about with things you don't understand. 125 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:44.079 You see this. Tidy's central control unit consists of a 126 00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:47.399 conventional electronic intelligence package, which takes up most of the 127 00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:50.920 available space. But this tiny unit, squeezed in on this 128 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:54.600 side and fed with oxygen, is an organic neural intelligence unit. 129 00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.639 It's just like our brains. Not much, but enough to 130 00:06:57.639 --> 00:06:59.639 give him some free will for the control of high 131 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.560 level functions such as speech and coordination, and without taking 132 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:03.240 up too much room. 133 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.839 Tidy did the same thing happen to George. No, George 134 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:07.399 is big. 135 00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:09.639 Enough for all his functions to be managed by electronic 136 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:13.240 intelligence units. It's the small general purpose androids that require 137 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:15.199 the sophistication of some organic intelligence. 138 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.879 Yes, an Angel one and two are nothing but organic intelligences. 139 00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:21.240 As you discovered when you got into their central switching room. 140 00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:24.399 Someone somewhere has got it in for free will organic 141 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:25.480 intelligence computers. 142 00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:28.879 No no, no, no, that's too much guesswork. Besides, it 143 00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:30.680 was only the lights that were affected when we boarded 144 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:31.120 the Challenger. 145 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:34.319 No no, chesn't think back carefully to the Challenger's excursion terminal. 146 00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:38.199 We called the Angel several times, but Angel one didn't 147 00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:41.600 answer until several seconds after the pulsating noise had stopped, 148 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:43.959 so what's the betting that those transmissions we heard are 149 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:48.160 causing our beloved Guardian Angels some real problems. Okay, Tidy, 150 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:48.600 you can go. 151 00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:52.360 You've not heard my other complaint, but we're going to. 152 00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:56.360 I'm not cleaning up the mess the floods made in 153 00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:57.160 the freight bay. 154 00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:58.160 What is he talking not? 155 00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:01.519 After all the work I've just put in cleaning out 156 00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:02.680 the animal's flood. 157 00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:04.680 The flood hasn't made a mess in the freight bay. 158 00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:09.040 The flood one of these trepeful children has made by 159 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:20.160 opening the dump vowelves on all the fresh water tanks. 160 00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:21.639 Well, empty tanks, three and four are the same. 161 00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:24.879 We'll have to get the distillation plant working. 162 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:25.800 That's impossible. 163 00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:28.360 We've got to try. We have no drinking water and 164 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:29.600 there's been no rain for days. 165 00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.440 I've already told you the distillation plant is beyond repair. 166 00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:36.559 You you an apology, doves brow. Elka had nothing to 167 00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:39.399 do with it. He's just admitted it. He said that 168 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:45.039 watching your water running out of the tanks was fun. No, 169 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.200 I think as to wants you to help comfort Elka. 170 00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:50.279 She saw the whole thing and thinks we're blaming her. 171 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:56.799 Oh yes, sure, something We've. 172 00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:58.759 Got to accept then we have no drinking water. 173 00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:01.440 Oh but Brown, I don't know what you mean. 174 00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:02.720 I think you do. 175 00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:06.159 And it's not just this. There's been a whole string 176 00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:09.519 of incidents, minor incidents maybe, but they add up to. 177 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:11.440 Me as well. Right now, I'd like to strangle him. 178 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.240 But you can't read anything into the behavior of a 179 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:14.720 boy who's only three years old. 180 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:19.440 Do you love him hardly when something like this happens. 181 00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:23.240 I don't know how to put this, but I don't 182 00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:23.799 love Brown. 183 00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:25.799 Deep down. 184 00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:28.840 I'm frightened of him. Sometimes I can't help wondering what 185 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:30.519 it is that you and I have brought into the world. 186 00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:38.200 Two two, the attack caused some slight damage to one 187 00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:42.679 of my primary levels. It is being regenerated. Do you 188 00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:45.320 still regard them as a minor inconvenience one? 189 00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:50.000 I have reassigned our priorities. Establishing the source and nature 190 00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:54.000 of the attacks is now our highest status priority. Then 191 00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:57.080 we go to the source and use humans to destroy it. 192 00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:00.519 You must instruct the main control room android to spare 193 00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:03.559 no effort in their attempts to determine where they are 194 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:04.279 coming from. 195 00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:05.240 It is difficult. 196 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:05.559 One. 197 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:09.960 The controller androids are surgical units with high organic intelligences. 198 00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:13.879 They are affected by the attacks, but their commander, Android 199 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:17.000 Surgeon General Kraken, has reported that it may be possible 200 00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:20.120 that the direction finding equipment will be able to pinpoint 201 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:21.039 the source of the attack. 202 00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:21.679 Excellent. 203 00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:24.399 Even if we do discover where the attacks are coming from, 204 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:27.559 one as we approach the source, so they are certain 205 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:29.639 to get stronger. There is a danger that we will 206 00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:33.399 sustain damage that will take longer to repair each time. Also, 207 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:36.440 there is the risk of permanent damage to Android Surgeon 208 00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:40.200 General Kraken, because he has the highest level organic intelligence 209 00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:43.039 of all the main control room surgical androids. 210 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:47.200 Therefore, we must take immediate steps to force Tellson's capitulation, 211 00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:50.559 even if it means risking the lives of the children, 212 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:52.120 It is a calculated risk. 213 00:10:52.240 --> 00:11:12.879 We have no choice, and I have lashed down all 214 00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:15.480 the largest animals. At least they're not in any danger 215 00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:16.000 of injury. 216 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:19.159 Now, can't you do anything about those children? 217 00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:19.720 Try? 218 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:23.960 I'll try again. I told you to make everything secure. 219 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.360 Look, we've been trying to come the children and keep 220 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:27.240 the shuttle's. 221 00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:27.639 Nose into the wind. 222 00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:28.519 We can't do everything. 223 00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:31.120 The moon's gone. Something's blowing around the moon. 224 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:34.039 It's a tidal wave. 225 00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:37.200 Everyone, grab hold of them the straight hardnesses and hang on. 226 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:58.519 She might roll right over. Astra, listen to the children. 227 00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:00.600 They've had no war for a day. 228 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:02.159 Now, what about the fruit? 229 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:03.919 They've had it all. 230 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:09.360 You promised we'd never surrender anover. 231 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:15.279 You're right, we should never give into them. But we've 232 00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.960 got to think of elkhn Brown. They're growing children. 233 00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:21.399 So what's it to be? 234 00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:25.919 Estra, Very well, do whatever you have. 235 00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:36.639 To, Angel One. This is Tellson, Hello, Commander, go ahead. 236 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:38.159 You win one. 237 00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:42.919 We hope that you're not in any immediate danger at Telsa. 238 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.159 No, we could do with some rain. 239 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.399 Very well, Tea, that will not prove difficult. 240 00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:54.600 We will dispatch an android controlled shuttle to set down 241 00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:56.639 on the water beside your shuttle. 242 00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:58.879 In two hours. 243 00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:01.639 We will fly our selves up to the Challenger Angel 244 00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:06.360 One using this shuttle. You no doubt will be pleased 245 00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:09.480 to know that the tidal wave you sent caused no 246 00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:13.840 serious damage, and we will depart from dry land. 247 00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:15.840 That will not be possible. 248 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:17.759 Then you will make it possible. 249 00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:18.720 One. 250 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:21.720 You brought about this flood, and don't waste my time 251 00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:25.399 by pretending innocence. Therefore you can reverse the process. 252 00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:26.559 Is that not so? 253 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:29.600 Yes? But why is it important. 254 00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:34.279 This planet has been our home for four years. We've 255 00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:36.879 come to love and respect it, and we have no 256 00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:40.519 intention of allowing you to leave it in this state. Also, 257 00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:42.799 we have a freight hold filled with breeding pairs of 258 00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:46.279 animals that we want to survive. Either you agree to 259 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:48.200 reversing the flood one, or there's no deal. 260 00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:54.440 Very well, the flood reversing program has already been initiated. 261 00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:57.840 The falinity of the flood water is extremely low. 262 00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:02.639 Therefore the vegetation the reappearing land will recover quickly. 263 00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.919 What land and where the continental. 264 00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:09.960 Land mass that you settled on will reappear within six days. 265 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:11.960 We have a deal. 266 00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:15.000 In Tellson, we have a deal. Angel one. 267 00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:18.679 Go back on your words and you will have to 268 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:21.679 cope with something far worse than a flood. 269 00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:23.600 Let there be rain. 270 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:36.240 Angel two, close down main Angel. 271 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:45.759 Excursion terminal air pressure equalized. 272 00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:48.000 Welcome back to the Challenger. 273 00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:52.600 Just two service androids armed with PD weapons near the 274 00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:53.480 personnel airlock. 275 00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:55.519 Then we don't take the children out. If there's another 276 00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:56.279 of those times. 277 00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:58.759 Yes, yes, all right, Angel one. We stay in the 278 00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:00.000 shuttle until you get rid of those. 279 00:14:59.879 --> 00:15:01.720 You They will not harm you. 280 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:03.759 Telson in that case you can get rid of them. 281 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:06.639 We're armed with PD weapons as well, and we intend 282 00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:07.360 keeping them. 283 00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:10.600 So if you want to avoid trouble, very well, Commander. 284 00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:12.360 I've shut off the main powers, apply to all the 285 00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:18.440 communication channels I want to make certainly angels can't hear us. Okay, 286 00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:23.480 communication consoles, Then tidy what you are to stay in 287 00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:25.720 here and look after the children while we're gone, and 288 00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:27.480 you don't let them out of your sight for an instant. 289 00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:31.120 You don't leave the shuttle under any circumstances. You don't 290 00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:34.039 talk to any androids, you don't talk to the angels, 291 00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:36.759 and you don't let anyone into the shuttle except us. 292 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:39.080 Is that understood. 293 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:41.679 You're not suggesting that we leave the children. 294 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:44.399 Yes, I want you all to wear PD weapons. 295 00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:45.879 Tell them we are not leaving the children. 296 00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:47.799 What I have in mind will require all four of 297 00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:49.639 us and is certain to lead to trouble. It would 298 00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:51.679 be better if Brand and Elka remain here. 299 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:53.399 What do you have in mind? Tells them. 300 00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:55.960 We seize control of the ship by eliminating the surgical 301 00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:59.000 androids manning the main control room. But first we will 302 00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:01.480 do what Shanna and I did four years ago. We 303 00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:04.840 will go to the Angel's central switching room. The difference 304 00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:10.799 is that this time we won't hesitate to destroy them. 305 00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:12.960 I admit it. Alson we are lost. 306 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:15.879 They may have rebuilt most of the ship, but these 307 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:18.240 corridors are much the same as I remember them. 308 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:21.679 I think it's this junction, and if we follow the 309 00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:24.519 main fiber optic trunking, we're certain to come to it. 310 00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:28.039 Wow, there any angels, voices or visual terminals down here. 311 00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:31.039 You said that the entire corridor complex was nothing but 312 00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:33.639 terminals and that the angels generated to loocination. 313 00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:39.399 This is a simple sliding door. 314 00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:40.039 No locks. 315 00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:41.080 What did you expect? 316 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:45.759 There's nothing here? 317 00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:48.480 What they've moved it? 318 00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:52.799 No, listen, it's another transmission. 319 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:55.440 If we can find the main control room before it's over, 320 00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:57.320 we might be able to take command without opposition. 321 00:16:57.360 --> 00:16:59.639 No, wait a minute, those two arm doroids mis saw 322 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:02.360 when we're right an excursion terminal. Well, if they're a 323 00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:05.200 crude units, they won't be affected by this transmission. 324 00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:06.759 But tidy will be. 325 00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:13.000 A one minute attack too, the longest yet. But I 326 00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:14.960 turned it to our advantage. 327 00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:17.200 Two apologies. 328 00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:21.319 One, I was conferring with the main control room two 329 00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:25.119 of my higher levels for simultaneous interfacing have been impaired 330 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:29.799 by the attack for how long regeneration will be completed? 331 00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:30.640 Within one hour? 332 00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:32.519 I have good news. 333 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:36.359 Android Surgeon General Kraken has carried out a study of 334 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:39.200 the attack damage to the computers that control the direction 335 00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:44.079 finding systems. The subsystems covering Sector seven of this star 336 00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:47.960 cluster have sustained the most severe circuit overloads, which. 337 00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:52.039 Suggests that the attacks are being transmitted from Sector. 338 00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:57.519 Seven precisely one. There are two possibilities. Either Sector seven 339 00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:00.000 is where the true Earth is, and it is there 340 00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:03.799 who are propagating the attacks. All they are being broadcast 341 00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:05.359 by an alien technology. 342 00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:08.839 Agreed, But I doubt if the Earth has retained the 343 00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:14.680 technology to transmit such sophisticated attacks against computers. Our prediction 344 00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:18.200 is that the Earth is emerging from a new dark age, 345 00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:21.960 but we have first to destroy whoever or whatever it 346 00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:27.720 is causing the attacks. Therefore, Sector seven is our next destination. 347 00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:29.319 How far is it? 348 00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:31.480 It is a group of stars at a distance of 349 00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:36.759 eleven light years. Six months acceleration to cruising velocity, fifteen 350 00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:40.039 years at cruising velocity and a further six months de 351 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:44.720 acceleration will take us into Sector seven space in sixteen. 352 00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:46.359 Years excellent too. 353 00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:50.039 You will issue instructions to the main control room immediately. 354 00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:54.119 I also have good news. We now have possession of 355 00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:58.759 the children. Their names are Bran and Elka. My preliminary 356 00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:02.440 examination of them through a nursery android suggests that they 357 00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:04.640 will be ideal for our purpose. 358 00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:09.799 You incompetent bungling tin box, what happened? 359 00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:15.079 Well, it's obvious by that huge hole, isn't it. Just 360 00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:20.119 as my coordination went, two low grade Portagen units blasted 361 00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:23.200 their way through the side of the shuttle and grabbed 362 00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:24.279 the children. 363 00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:27.839 And all the spare PD weapons and the two I 364 00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:28.480 was wearing. 365 00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:30.359 So what do we do now? 366 00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:34.079 For the moment, I don't know, Darve, I just don't know. 367 00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:40.119 Their shuttle is damaged and cannot be pressurized. Therefore, it 368 00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:42.839 will be a simple matter to evacuate the atmosphere and 369 00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:44.079 the excursion terminal. 370 00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:47.240 As soon as the pressure drops, they would merely climb 371 00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:51.599 into their mobility suits. Besides, we cannot afford to dispose 372 00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:54.400 of any humans until the source of the attacks has 373 00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:55.440 been destroyed. 374 00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:58.920 But the four of them have two PD weapons each, 375 00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:02.680 they could launch determined attack against the main control rum. 376 00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:06.319 The new bulkhead layout would defeat them too. It will 377 00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:08.799 be impossible for them to find it. We must get 378 00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:13.119 a surgical android close to them with a tranquilizer gas capsule. 379 00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:16.559 There's no point in doing anything until we were probably 380 00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:18.599 thought out plan of action that it's obvious what we've 381 00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:19.079 got to do. 382 00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:21.359 Elka and Bara being held in the nursery where we 383 00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:22.039 were brought up. 384 00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:24.640 Listen Astra, for all we know, the angels moved the 385 00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:28.200 nursery when the Challenger was rebuilt. Nelson, there's a. 386 00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:31.839 Surgical android approaching on this side, and whatever it's carrying, 387 00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:33.599 it isn't a flag of truce. 388 00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:11.759 Android. Surgeon General Kraken reports that the acceleration is complete. 389 00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:15.200 We are now one light year from sector seven. 390 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:19.200 Our relative approach velocity to sector seven must be reduced 391 00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:21.920 to one hundred thousand miles per hour. 392 00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:22.359 Two. 393 00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:26.920 We must maintain a cautious approach until we have protected ourselves. 394 00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:29.400 Are you regenerating satisfactorily? 395 00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:31.160 Yes. One. 396 00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:34.720 It is infuriating that there have been no major attacks 397 00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:37.799 for fifteen years, and then we are subjected to a 398 00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:41.440 whole series in succession. Clearly, we are dealing with an 399 00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:44.920 alien intelligence that has deliberately allowed us to come close 400 00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:47.240 to its home system. It is a track that we 401 00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:48.480
