We are receiving you, 73 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.399 but not very clearly. We are the descendants of a 74 00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:20.480 survey ship crew that left Earth one million years ago. 75 00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:23.399 Until we settled on this planet, we had been searching 76 00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:24.120 for Earth. 77 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:28.079 One moment while we checked your shuttle's configuration against records. 78 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.600 We spent all our lives searching, and Earth finds us. 79 00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:33.680 They may not believe us if their records don't go. 80 00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:34.240 Back that far. 81 00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:37.439 They've got to they speak our language, we speak their language. 82 00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:41.800 Hello Shuttle, we have identified your spacecraft as a shuttle 83 00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:44.639 that belonged to a Challenger class survey ship that left 84 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:46.800 Earth in the year two hundred and ninety. 85 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:47.519 The third millennial. 86 00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:49.839 How many are there in your party? 87 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:54.120 There are six of us altogether, four adults and two children. 88 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:55.560 Thank you Shuttle. 89 00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:58.959 How old are the children?

Got sixes? 91 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:01.879 Are they? 92 00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:03.879 One boy and one girl? 93 00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:06.199 By the interesting Chatives. 94 00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:07.920 For your children are limited, but our commander is looking 95 00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:10.720 forward to meeting you all. We are opening the airlock 96 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:14.519 doors to our main shuttle excursion terminal message. 97 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:17.120 As the moment of truth, Dave. 98 00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:20.040 Let's hope they don't mind the misunderstanding. They seem to 99 00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:20.920 be under the impression that. 100 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:21.639 We're all on board. 101 00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:24.480 There's an air lock door opening about halfway along. 102 00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:41.639 The hull, external air pressure equalized. 103 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:44.439 Okay, you can open our inner and out of airlock doors. 104 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:49.959 I'll just leave the service power system on. 105 00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:56.920 Otherwise the inertial navigation computers will lose our position references. Hm, 106 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:01.519 it's it's not so different from the excusion terminals on 107 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:02.040 the Challenger. 108 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.959 Now what, let's take a look outside.

We can't 111 00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:12.120 leave this shuttle touching firearms. 112 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:13.040 I suppose not. 113 00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:22.759 So where's the reception party? I want to fall into 114 00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:24.800 someone's arms and be greeted as a long lost brother. 115 00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:27.639 What do you make of that noise? 116 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:32.439 I don't know. Something to do with the air conditioning 117 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:42.240 and the lights of flickering. Hello Voyager thirty, Hello Voyager thirty. 118 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:45.120 This is the shuttle. 119 00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:46.839 We've disembarked. 120 00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:51.360 They've closed the terminal. Airlog throws behind us, so they 121 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:56.360 must know we're here. That sounds to stop, and the 122 00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:57.360 lights have stopped flickering. 123 00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:01.439 It's all very strange, dark I got this feeling that 124 00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:04.199 we've been here before.

The deal was that you 164 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:10.240 left us in peace to settle on this planet while 165 00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:13.600 you continued with the Earth Search mission, an agreement forced on. 166 00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:17.440 Us under dures, Commander, but we do not hold it 167 00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:21.960 against you. Despite what Darkney think, we are still concerned 168 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.879 about your webfare, especially now. 169 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:26.000 That you have children. 170 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:29.440 We are all fit and well won Why didn't you 171 00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:30.840 continue with the Earth Search mission? 172 00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.840 We decided that the Challenger was in no condition for 173 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:35.399 an interstellar voyage. 174 00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:39.399 The surgical androids fanning the main control. 175 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:42.799 Room when instructed to place the Challenger in orbit around 176 00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:46.960 the fourth planet of this Solar System. Thanks to the 177 00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:51.600 shuttles and planetary engineering equipment that Dart and Astro found 178 00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:55.519 in the Terraforming Center, we were able to extract all 179 00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:57.559 the raw materials we needed. 180 00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:03.399 From the planet. The service android worked continuously for a year. 181 00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:08.519 The damage caused by the Great Meteorite Strike was repaired 182 00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:09.519 by removing the. 183 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.799 Power center section of the ship and rejoining it. That 184 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:15.679 is why the Challenger is now. 185 00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:19.639 Shorter than it was by change, The Challengers named a 186 00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:22.559 Voyager thirty in a team of. 187 00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:25.919 Service androids that worked on the outside of the ship. 188 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:29.840 I see, and the same error caused twenty third Earth 189 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:32.799 Transgalactic Survey mission to be painted below the name it 190 00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:35.080 has a low rectification priority. 191 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.919 Dove, how long have you been in orbit around this planet? 192 00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:41.799 Six months? Colder. We have been trying to content your 193 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:43.080 shuttle for some time. 194 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:45.679 Yes, we only visit the shuttle where we need supplies. 195 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:48.240 In any case, the power is switched off most of 196 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:52.200 the time. That will I don't see any point in 197 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:55.080 staying here a moment longer. I won't wish you luck 198 00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:56.840 with your Earth Search mission one and two. 199 00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:58.879 Come on, Dove, do you not. 200 00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:01.200 Wish to see what we have done to the ship? 201 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:01.840 Commander? 202 00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:04.600 No, surely you would like to see over the. 203 00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:08.399 Challenger, Dave, you are always the inquisitive one. 204 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:10.440 I don't want to remain in your company for a 205 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:12.279 minute longer than is necessary. One or two. 206 00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:14.600 But we had had a meal prepared for all of you, 207 00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:16.440 especial reunion. 208 00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.639 We're not interested anyway. How can one have a reunion 209 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:21.799 with computer voices? 210 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:26.200 You left the micro meteoroid shields closed on your shuttle's 211 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:30.919 cabin view boards. Commander Astra and Shana must be wondering 212 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:34.440 what is happening. We are looking forward to seeing them again, 213 00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:38.159 and of course we are especially looking forward to meeting 214 00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:39.000 the children. 215 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:40.840 I'm sorry, but they're not with us. 216 00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:46.080 We do not understand, Commander. Before you boarded the Challenger, you. 217 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:47.919 Said that they were with you. 218 00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:54.159 A misunderstanding, Angel One, you ready, darve goodbye, Commander dah. 219 00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:58.080 Naturally, we are delighted that you have settled happily on 220 00:11:58.240 --> 00:11:58.840 your planet. 221 00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:02.879 The expert air locked doors will as soon as you 222 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:19.919 have pressurized separation. 223 00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:16.679 From Challenger, complete inertials loaded for automatic re entry, burn 224 00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:19.759 main engine closed down for reorientation. 225 00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:26.639 Oh oh, what did you make of that? 226 00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:31.480 Just hearing those voices again, Astra's right, I should have 227 00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:32.720 destroyed them when I have the chance. 228 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:36.840 She'll go mad when she hears that they're back. Yeah, 229 00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:37.200 that's all. 230 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:41.720 What's the matter, Well, it's nothing to worry about. But 231 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:45.000 the inertial navigation computer is showing an error. It's as 232 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:46.679 if it were switched off for a few seconds while 233 00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:49.679 we were on the Challenger. You didn't touch the power supply. 234 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:50.080 Controls, did you? 235 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:50.399 No? 236 00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:52.200 I left everything to you. 237 00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:55.200 Does it matter? No, I've corrected it. 238 00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:58.279 You don't suppose those angels have interfered with it. 239 00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:01.399 No, the shuttles were always in dependent of the Challenger systems. 240 00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:04.120 Now that they've completed their refit, maybe they'll be on 241 00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:04.559 their way. 242 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:08.399 I don't know. They set up a neat little trap 243 00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:10.559 for us to walk into and then let us walk 244 00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:14.320 out again. They want something we know good to them 245 00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:16.120 because they know we would never trust them, and they 246 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.360 can't trust us because you know where their central switching 247 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:18.720 room is. 248 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:24.919 That leaves only Bran and Elka. Those two megalomaniac computers 249 00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:26.320 want our children. 250 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:30.799 One of your more notable failures one. 251 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:33.240 It was unfortunate that there was an attack at the 252 00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:37.399 precise moment they boarded the Challenger. The service android I 253 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:39.679 had prepared to greet them was disabled. 254 00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:42.759 Three of my secondary facilities were damaged in the attack. 255 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:44.679 I am regenerating them now. 256 00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:47.240 Only one was damaged in the last attack. 257 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:49.559 Obviously I am more susceptible than you. 258 00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:52.480 Well, at least the timing of the attack was such 259 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:55.200 that it gave me the opportunity to observe its effect 260 00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:56.120 on humans. 261 00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:58.159 Darve and Telson heard. 262 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:00.799 The sub harmonics that the transmission gen in the hull, 263 00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:03.840 but they were unaffected by it. My theory that we 264 00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:07.279 need humans to destroy the source of the attacks is correct. 265 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:09.519 It is a pity that they did not all visit 266 00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:12.840 us after the abortive kidnapping attempt. I was confident that 267 00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:16.480 they would always stay together. You must instruct the android 268 00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:17.799 to try again. 269 00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:20.960 It has been destroyed. Its last signal said that it 270 00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:24.879 was under attack as always. Those four have proved more 271 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:25.679 troublesome than. 272 00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:29.200 You have predicted, But their two children will not be troublesome, 273 00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:32.879 especially the one that came under our influence before it 274 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:33.519 was born. 275 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:36.799 I need not remind you how important they are to us. 276 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:39.759 Our chances of getting the children must now be assigned 277 00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.879 a low probability status. We have lost the advantage of surprise. 278 00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:47.679 Telson and Darve will now be doubly vigilant, and androids 279 00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:48.519 are too cumbersome. 280 00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:51.000 Their planet is a safe refuge. 281 00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:52.320 They will not now leave. 282 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.519 Therefore, our next course of action is obvious to We 283 00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:58.879 must make their planet unsafe. 284 00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:03.480 That's just watching the children. 285 00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:03.840 Good. 286 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:08.679 Now, it's been ten days and the Challenger is still 287 00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:09.159 in orbit. 288 00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:13.679 On last night's check, I discovered that the orbital change 289 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:15.759 Challenger started five days ago is now complete. 290 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.159 It's in a circular polar orbit at a height. 291 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:21.440 Of five hundred miles, a departure preparation unlikely. 292 00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:24.000 Also, I noticed a brilliant yellow glow down in the 293 00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:26.000 southern sky where the Challenger was at that time, and 294 00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:29.080 I switched on the receivers and discovered that the entire 295 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:31.960 radio spectrum was flooded with radiation was coming. 296 00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:32.360 From that direction. 297 00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:35.879 It's obvious that they're up to something. 298 00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:39.559 Yeah, but what can they do to us? They can't 299 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:42.480 harm us with the meteoroid annihilation shields because the atmosphere 300 00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:44.559 prevents them coming in low enough to use them as weapons. 301 00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:49.159 You're forgetting the Challenger's terraforming center, weather control, earthquake precipitation. 302 00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:52.559 That center has all the technology the Angels need to 303 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:53.679 re engineer this planet. 304 00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:57.320 But why a polar orbit while a polar orbit means 305 00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:59.320 that the challenger can cover every square inch of this 306 00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:01.879 planet as they orbit from pole to poles, so the 307 00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:03.679 planet rot takes on its axis beneath them. 308 00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:09.279 What about the obvious? A polar orbit could mean that 309 00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:11.320 our beloved angels are interested in the poles. 310 00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:14.720 You know, sometimes, Shanna, your genius astonishes me. 311 00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:24.919 There's another of those towers over to the left, right 312 00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:25.600 in the middle. 313 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:26.000 Of the glacier. 314 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:28.679 I'm not picking up any transmissions from it. 315 00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:31.480 Let's set the shuttle down beside it and take a 316 00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:34.720 close look. We could wear mobility suits with the cooling 317 00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:37.159 systems off to keep warm, and we've got two hours 318 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:38.639 before the challenges above the horizon. 319 00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:39.919 It's risky. 320 00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:43.200 Their infrared detectors would have no trouble spotting us against 321 00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:43.519 the ice. 322 00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:46.360 The window dispersed the shuttles thermb or wake in less 323 00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:47.480 than thirty minutes tells them. 324 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:49.720 You and aarve can check the tar or whatever it 325 00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:51.879 is while I carry out some tests on the ice cap. 326 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:54.679 Okay, then we'll take her down. 327 00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:08.920 More Android tracks over here. 328 00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:12.240 They must have landed about twenty construction units. 329 00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:14.720 What do you make of the tower? 330 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:18.720 I have no idea there were several stowage bays on 331 00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:20.599 the Challenger crammed with terrorforming equipment. 332 00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:24.160 I wish I'd pay more attention to them. Now, Hews 333 00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:29.559 the go ahead, Charla a fish some tests the mean things. Yeah, 334 00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:32.359 is covering this continent is two miles. It's actually just 335 00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:35.599 over four miles where was standing, and the tower is 336 00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:38.200 merely the toll of the structure that extends right out 337 00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:42.240 continent head rock. I suppose we could not get out 338 00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:44.359 of action without PD weapons. What would be the point? 339 00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:47.079 We've counted over two hundred spread over the entire continent. 340 00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:50.599 We haven't the fuel to land beside everyone, and they'd 341 00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:55.079 only replace them. This cold is getting through my suit. 342 00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:57.920 Come on, as might as well go home. 343 00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:14.200 Well, I give up, I really do. 344 00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:19.640 I can't spend all my time everything contain us. 345 00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:23.400 Don't have to do something about then? 346 00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:27.039 Oh shut up, tidy, I'd behind with everything. 347 00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:30.880 I had to spend a week of my thirty or 348 00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:31.480 more time. 349 00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:35.480 That's burying and hell story starting. Boy doesn't know when 350 00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:36.720 the rain's going to stop. 351 00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:38.359 Now, try to go to. 352 00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:41.799 See there's a good girl who I've managed to get 353 00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:45.480 brand off Shana despite his complaint that my bedtime stories 354 00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:46.400 aren't gruesome enough. 355 00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:48.240 There's a violent streak in that boy. 356 00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:54.920 He likes plenty of blood and gold. Oh boy, oh, 357 00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:58.559 some people just don't care. 358 00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:01.720 Oh get about saying props this season. 359 00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:03.559 Even the rain lets up tomorrow. 360 00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:06.920 Even if George could work without getting bobbed down, his 361 00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:08.680 tracks would destroy the soil structure. 362 00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:11.160 We've moved the shot on the top of Landmark Hill 363 00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:13.519 and put some of the animals over the smaller livestock hut. 364 00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:17.599 Fifteen days of continuous rain at this time of the year, 365 00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:19.480 the stream is now a river. 366 00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:21.480 The angels hope again. 367 00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:24.880 They want to starve us into submission.
