Come in, 2024.

This is Hathor 18 confirming we are inbound.

ETA five minutes.

Copy that, Hathor 18.

Landing dock prepped, ready and waiting.

Where in the system are you?

We've just pulled from Mercury's

planetary gravity assist maneuver.

We stopped by for a boost.

We've engaged velocity redirection for DEC.

Commencing deceleration.

Copy that.

Watch for small rock clusters out there.

We've had a few outbursts.

Thanks for the heads-up, Lieutenant.

Hathor 18 primed for landing.

Copy that, Hathor 18.

Okay, guys, Hathor 18 is inbound.

ETA four minutes.

Copy that.

Let's finish getting this sector stripped.

Control's gonna want this load.

Of course they are.

How are your pressure readings, Holloway?

All green, all stable.

All good your end, Milton?

All good here.

Milton, I almost forgot.

There are some sun suit prototypes down in the hold.

Can you test them out? They need onsite activity.

If you can just play around with them for a bit and log it.

That's all I need.

Copy that, Lieutenant. On my way.

You got it, Holloway?

Yeah, I got it. We gotta get going.

I'm reading some serious seismic fluctuations.

I'm reading that too.

Subterranean surge of some kind.

Another outburst?

Yeah, it's a big one.

Holloway, cease operations immediately.

Milton, get yourself out of the cargo hold.

Milton, get out of there!

Mayday.

Mayday.

This is Holloway of 2024 DEC

reporting from EEV Khapera 2.

Do you copy?

I repeat, this is Troy Holloway reporting from EEV Khapera 2.

Does anyone copy?

Hathor 18, please respond.

Come on.

Come on, come on.

- -

This is Troy Holloway in the blind.

Can anyone copy?

I'm alone.

Milton and Lieutenant Harris are both...

I'm flying with limited power and no control.

Diagnostics are down. IPS is inoperable.

Does anyone copy?

I'm flying completely blind.

Shit. The, uh...

The EEV's beacon is down.

I repeat, the EEV's beacon is down.

So, uh...

Ah. Okay.

The PLB on my stat-band is functional.

Repeat, the PLB on my stat-band is detectable, I think.

Ah!

Come in.

Hello! Hello is anyone there?

- - Is someone there? Hello?

Hathor 18, are you there?

I can't hear you.

I can hear you. Who is this?

This is Hathor 18.

Hathor 18, good, okay.

Hathor 18, this is Troy Holloway

reporting from EEV Khapera 2.

Who is this?

This is Hathor 18.

I repeat, who am I speaking to?

This is Commander Roberts.

Who?

Commander Roberts.

Roberts?

I am the pilot of Hathor 18.

You're a new pilot? I don't remember you?

Affirmative.

Okay, copy that.

Is Commander Serizawa available?

I'm temporarily standing in for the commander.

You'll be speaking with me for the time being.

Okay.

Listen, there was an outflow of steam back on the site.

The harvester's drill anchors must've exposed

a pocket on the asteroid.

The blast, the explosion, it blasted open the hull.

We initiated the emergency evacuation procedure, but, uh...

I'm aboard the EEV Khapera 2.

I'm drifting with limited power and no control.

The propulsion and ACS are inoperable.

Diagnostics are down.

Only the comms, coolant chamber

and life support systems appear operable.

What is your status?

Well, I've never been better, really.

Uh, that was a joke.

I'm okay. I'm drifting.

I have very little power... and no control.

And the rest of the crew?

Holloway, can you expand on Milton's status?

Holloway?

Uh, Milton was in the cargo bay,

signing off on prototypes or something when the explosion,

the outflow, the blast, the force,

it threw him, and Milton was thrown,

and we, uh...

we initiated the emergency evacuation procedure.

- We made it to the EEV. - Is Milton deceased?

Holloway.

Yes?

Is Milton deceased?

Yes, Milton is deceased.

And Lieutenant Harris?

Lieutenant Harris didn't make it either.

Jesus Christ.

Copy that.

What are your visuals?

Visuals, uh...

Please report visuals to me.

Goddamn it.

Hollow...

Shit. Come on!

- Shit! - Holloway?

Can you hear me?

Yes, I hear you. Can you hear me?

Report your position. Give me your coordinates.

Coordinates? I...

don't have any.

Just, uh... Just listen to me, Commander.

The EEV's beacon is down, but the stat-band, my stat-band,

my PLB is linked and should be detectable.

Copy that.

Okay.

Uh, we're not detecting anything.

You gotta be kidding.

Coordinates. Give them to me.

I just don't have any coordinates.

I need coordinates, Holloway.

Okay, but I don't have any coordinates, Commander.

Give me something. Describe what you see.

How about space?

That's what I see, Commander.

Is Hath... visible from your...

Please repeat.

Is Hathor 18 visible from your current position?

No.

We will be a small white speck in the distance.

There are a lot of small white specks

in the distance, Commander.

Nothing is visible from my current location.

Not you, not Hathor 18 or any other craft.

This heap of shit is ancient, Commander.

That heap of shit is keeping you alive.

Yeah, we'll see about that.

Holloway, are you injured?

No.

No, I'm uninjured. Negative.

Copy that.

Okay, we've detected your PLB.

Okay.

It's gonna take a moment to triangulate.

And is your stat-band linked to the EEV?

Stat-band should be linked, yes.

Okay, copy that.

- This will take a moment. - Okay.

Polarized filter online.

Are you there?

- Holloway. - Yeah.

I need your medical diagnostics.

I need to speak with the commander.

I am the commander.

Standing in for him doesn't make you the commander.

Commander Serizawa is unavailable. I'm now in charge.

Please give me your medical diagnostics.

I need to speak with him.

You're not going to speak with the commander.

- You're going to speak with me. - Put him on.

- The commander is occupied. - Put him on.

- It is not possible. - Fuck you!

We will not be handling this situation in that manner.

Do you understand?

Do you understand?!

My stat-band is partially inoperable,

so I am unable to give you my medical diagnostics, Commander.

Then a self-examination will suffice.

My orders are to keep you alive.
