Space/Time

We're heading to the relay, start the shutdown before the engine blows.

Maria. Thanner. They're gone

and I don't know where.

It just swallowed them up, all of them.

Everyone from Lindstrom.

The relay is gone.

Six and seven are vented and drained.

Holt.

No!

We need a medic down here--

Liv!

Holt is injured, he's bleeding badly.

Liv!

Holt, you're right under the engine you're not going to make it out.

Don't!

You see what's going on out there?

Rising temperatures. Extreme weather.

Over farming and widespread pollution...

climate shifting rapidly around the globe...

...struggle with civil unrest and violence.

Everywhere.

It's imperative

that we revitalise crop production.

We need a lasting, long term solution.

Today's controversial announcement to accelerate

funding for the NFC...

You tell me.

...resources that could transform

agriculture and food security on Earth...

...experts agree that it is only a matter of time.

What's the solution?

What you are hearing behind me is

the gunfire which has been raging

since three A.M. this morning as the

desperate Portuguese masses clash

with police, in a disaster-ravaged city.

It is the result of torrential floods

which have washed away, what was

once the Portuguese coastline.

Liv. Holt said stop fiddling with the sensors and get down here.

Yeah, I'm meeting the Lindstrom guys out front when they arrive.

Yeah, they landed on the south end of the island ten minutes ago.

Attention all crew. The Reiko Facility is in lockdown.

Shit!

Hey, you better hurry up.

We're all headed down to the engine room now.

Sorry. Yeah, I'll be down shortly.

I seem to remember you being late to the press conference last year as well.

It was Liv, wasn't it?

Good memory.

Sorry. I didn't know you'd already arrived, are there more of you?

Harris.

Harris

They're in the briefing.

Shit.

I saw the Reiko Island piece the BBC did.

-Pretty interesting. -Ah, yes!

'Knocking the planet of its axis'.

Oh, wait, was that the 'triggering every volcano on Earth'?

-That one? -Yeah.

Yeah. That one was hilarious.

Come on.

C'mon.

Just between us,

you're seriously saying there's nothing to worry about here,

just crushing space then.

Completely safe.

Not crushing.

Our engine simply fold space.

Everything in between is fine.

When we're done

we simply stretch it out again.

Everything's safe.

No one has even noticed.

And there you are, at your destination,

a galaxy away.

You'd think the guy about to design the ship would be able

to grasp the difference.

Crushing, folding. I still say it's dangerous.

What happened to traveling through space

the old fashioned way?

Hey.

This way is faster.

It's one step forward in technology,

but one giant leap forward for humankind.

With the ability to bend and fold

With the ability to bend and fold

the very fabric of space itself.

The Caliver Engine is the first engine

able to bring your destination to you,

making interstellar travel instantaneous.

Reiko's team of--

Ms. Thanner.

Dr. Renault.

Ladies and gentlemen.

I think it's time we show you what our engine can do.

All safety tests must be completed now.

I don't think that's going to fit any of our ships.

So build a bigger ship.

That's him.

Holt. The Lindstrom team is here.

Okay, try it now.

You need to talk to them.

They can wait.

What did that do?

Anything?

Not even close.

Holt. This is tooimportant to let slip away because you don't like talking to people.

We have a dozen techs that can do that.

It would take a dozen techs to do this.

I already have the NFC bean counters

watching my every move,

making sure no penny goes astray.

Now I have to deal with Lindstrom.

He's coming up. Take them through to the beak.

Even more impressive in person.

You can't be down here.

Okay, try it now.

You're the only one in this place

who seems to know what's going on.

I'm sticking with you.

Come on.

We're headed to the beak.

Beak?

Jesus, how big is this thing?

Big enough.

Big enough to save the world?

Right?

Right?

This is the beak.

You're testing this thing on a pot plant?

Unless you're volunteering?

So where does it go?

There.

Baby steps, Harris.

It's going to be years before we actually move a whole spaceship.

Three years after the Reiko Island disaster,

that killed nine and injured dozens.

The victims families will today learn the findings

of the lengthy investigation into the cause of the incident.

The demand for accountability

Hey Liv, um.

Give me a call when you get this. I heard about the job interview and just,

There'll be others. Stay positive. It's almost over.

I'll, uh, I'll meet you at the lawyer's office, okay?

All personnel at the administrative level of New Frontiers

have been cleared of any wrongdoing.

Surely it's not as simple as that.

So you're telling us it's over?

There was no wrongdoing found

at this level in the company.

Due to the magnitude of the storm that hit the island.

There can be no doubt that this incident

was not the result of human error.

Couple of notable absentees from the meeting.

Harris.

Hope they send him a postcard if they find whatever corner of the world he vanished to.

-Let him know he got away with it. -Again?

Really?

We all know God damn well there was no storm.

It's the bullshit, Liv. The way they've spun it...

Do you want me in jail to pay for my crimes?

I am just as guilty as Holt is.

You're not.

Hey, who's cheering who up here anyway?

Stop moping, Liv. This is the verdict we were hoping for.

I'm sorry.

You're right.

Well I don't care. Just a salad I guess.

Mmhm, Come on.

If you want the duck, just get the duck.

It's a celebration.

You got nothing holding you back.

The job hunt can really start.

It sure will look good on a C.V.

Cleared of all charges.

I can hear them lining up.

You know, I'm not saying that.

Tried giving it time

and here we are, three years later and--

hell of a three years.

Hey hey hey hey.

Pretty great three years, if you ask me.

I just don't know what I can do.

That's okay.

You don't have to know.

I just...

I just need to figure out myself.

What I want.

Olivia.

Oh, God.

Renault, hi!

Harris is here too,

he's just bringing the car around.

Oh, yes.

I heard that you and he were, um, that's great.

You must be excited about

starting phase two.

No. I left Lindstrom long ago,

just after the island, really.
