The Ark

Previously on "The Ark"...

I used to drink this stuff with my old man back in the days of NASA.

He went to the moon base a few times.

He died there when the Eastern Federation sabotaged it.

The GSA was still at war with the Eastern Federation

- when we left Earth. - We received a distress call from Ark 8.

Yeah, we're all Gen-2s, but there were Gen-3s onboard.

And one by one they became violent.

I'm programming the ability to adjust your implants.

Kelly, what are you...

Stop! Or I'll have Kelly break her neck.

You have the power to stop this.

I'll keep the controller safe and only I can access them.

We're Federation operative hunters.

Are you saying Lati went after Eva because...

- Eva is Eastern Federation. - It is true.

I'm not sure why I'm the one under fire here.

I know Lati made a horrible mistake.

It shouldn't have gone down that way,

but we did expose Eva

as an Eastern Federation operative.

Yeah, definitely deserve points for that one.

From now on, there will be no more unauthorized

or secret investigations of my crew without my knowledge.

That's not how we do things here. Is that clear, Kimi?

- Crystal. - Now, I need you to share anything else

your investigation uncovered before I get Eva's side of this,

and I also need to know if you suspect

anyone else of being Eastern Federation.

I'd prefer to speak with you privately.

Now. That's an order.

Fine. Seven years ago,

the Eastern Federation launched a successful assault

on the lunar colony.

187 people were killed.

We're all familiar with what happened

on the lunar base. - My father died in that attack.

Where is this going, Kimi?

I have reason to believe that

Lieutenant Brice was the pilot on a covert mission

to intercept the attack on the lunar base,

and that he intentionally threw the mission

in service of the Eastern Federation.

- That's crazy. - What evidence do you have?

My best friend Maurisa Yi was Brice's co-pilot on the mission.

He told me he doesn't know her, but take a look at this.

That's Maurisa.

They look pretty chummy to me.

Maurisa was killed in the resulting crash,

but obviously, Lieutenant Brice survived.

With my clearance I was able to access Lieutenant Brice's records.

The next day, he was demoted two ranks and suspended from duty.

Is this true?

You've been lying to me this whole time?

You had the chance to save my father

and 186 other people, and you didn't take it?

Lane.

I'm so sorry.

Spence!

Just for the record, I'm not Eastern Federation.

I don't give a damn what you call yourself. My father is still dead.

Please, can I just explain?

I'd like to hear what he has to say. Go on.

I was given a classified mission

to stop the attack on the lunar base, just like Kimi said.

But it didn't go down the way she said.

So then how did it go down?

I'd been mentoring a young student, Maurisa Yi.

We worked well together, so on the day of the mission,

the GSA assigned her as my co-pilot.

- They didn't give you any warning? - No.

The mission was to fly into the middle

of the attacking Federation fighter craft

detonate a bomb, and destroy them all in one explosion.

It was a suicide mission. Fine by me, you know?

I believed I was dying of Klampkins anyway,

so why not?

But nobody had bothered telling Maurisa.

And she was young, you know? She had a family.

She had everything to live for. So I...

I couldn't just sit there and let her die.

So I went off book, and I started shooting down

all the enemy fighter craft one by one, just trying...

just trying not to get myself and Maurisa blown up.

So you were trying to save her?

- And the colony. - You disobeyed orders.

I just took a risk, Sharon.

I was trying to save everybody.

- But I failed. - And yet somehow only you survived,

- and you've been lying to everyone ever since. - It was classified, Spence.

But you're right, mate. I probably should have told you.

How do you want to handle this?

Isn't it obvious? He needs to be locked up.

He's already been demoted two ranks

and lived with this for his entire life. That's punishment enough.

You can't just let him off scot-free, Garnet.

The GSA investigators thought demotion

was the proper disciplinary action. I'm won't override them.

- Spence, I know... - Stay out of my sight.

You have to promise not to make a big deal

out of what I'm about to say.

I'm listening.

I'm here for a birth control implant.

- You and Angus? - Shh, shh, shh, shh.

You promised not to make it weird.

Sorry, sorry. Okay. Have a seat. Have a seat.

All right. I'm just gonna pull this down. It shouldn't hurt too much.

Just a quick... there you go.

Well, I'm glad you're being careful,

- and that you two are... - Please stop smiling like that.

Sorry. Um, okay. Well, it is quiet in here right now,

so let's take the opportunity to give you a quick checkup.

Could Lati have planted anything else we don't know about?

We've done a full scan for any unauthorized crops

and haven't found anything.

Good. I'll leave you to your plants then.

Actually, there... there was something else.

Lati did have one good idea.

It's potato vodka. I need a second opinion.

- I don't usually drink on the job. - Oh.

But I'm sure you could test the safety of the product?

Well, I suppose if it's a security concern.

Good.

- Am I interrupting? - Hey.

No, no, no. Just finishing up here.

Hey, what happened to you?

- The... - Oh, uh, yeah.

Got a beating from someone who

was well within their rights to give it to me.

Eva?

Oh. Sorry.

To be honest, mate, that's...

that's kind of what I wanted to you talk about.

I just feel like I don't...

I don't know who she is.

But you guys have worked together so closely.

I mean, like, did she ever say anything? Did she ever do...

Let me just take this back. Give me two minutes, okay?

Yeah, sure.

Hey, what...

What the hell is going on?

Play nicely and nobody needs to get hurt.

Sash...

The mission was classified. He couldn't tell you.

- Doesn't mean he was lying to you. - Doesn't it?

Hey, maybe take a second, cool off.

- This is Brice we're talking about. - Yeah, and it's also my dad!

I... I know. I'm sorry.

What the hell is that?

- Clean this up. - The sedatives have assumed a safe level.

We should be able to breathe without masks.

- How much time before they start waking up? - About eight hours.

Drop us out of FTL.

Set a course for our new destination.

The bio shelter is the only area of the ship in lockdown.

Strickland to Garnet, the bio shelter is locked down. Please advise.

We have to find a way to force the door.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait! Wait! That's not a good idea!

The environment of the bio shelter has a separate air supply

- from the rest of the ship to keep the plants safe. - From what?

There's some sort of air contamination in the rest of the ship.

Alicia, do you read? Alicia, please respond.

Lieutenant Lane, respond.

Lieutenant Brice?

Hey, wake up.

Come on! Come on!

Kelly? What's going on? How did you...

That was incredibly dangerous.

Well, it woke you up last time. I didn't know what else to do.

What's going on? Why is everyone unconscious?

It's not just here.

Everyone in the corridors and the open rooms,

they're all passed out.

Garnet must have turned on my augmentations so I'd stay awake.

Did you see anything to tell you what caused this?

It seems like there's something in the air?

Like a fog or a powder or something.

Might be Ditroxflurane. One sec.

One sec.

No, no, no.

They took all of it.

Ditroxflurane is a powerful sedative.

Someone must've rigged it to come through the air ducts.

We need to wake up Alicia. She might be able to figure out who did this.

No, no! Much smaller dose.

We don't want to wake her by giving her a heart attack.

What's going on? What did you do?

- Nothing. - It's okay. She's here to help.

Someone used the air system to sedate everyone aboard.

- It didn't affect me. - She came here to wake us up.

Any word from the bridge? Is anyone still awake there?

- I was hoping you could figure that out. - The new bridge has cameras.

- Whoa. - What was that?

We just dropped out of FTL.

I'm going to see if I can access the cameras on the bridge.

- Those are all Ark 8 clones. - I don't understand.

- We saved them. Why would they do this? - I'm not sure.

But maybe they haven't reached Engineering yet.

I could go there and take control.

Someone locked the bulkhead in Engineering.
