Auto vacuum disengaged.

Dr. Betruger.

Ah. Thank you. All right.

Auto set camera engaged.

(INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENTS OVER PA)

Have they explained how it's going to work?

Are you nervous?

Don't worry, it's perfectly natural to be.

No, I'm honored to have been chosen, sir.

Wonderful. Well, I'm very much

looking forward to meeting you face to face, young man.

(INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENTS OVER PA)

Freehold parameters increased.

Slot interrupt.

Engaged.

Phobos is set.

Nevada is set.

Activate the gates.

Gates activated.

Now, Dr. Barnes.

Nevada, Dr. Barnes has made it to Phobos.

Doctor, we did it. Yes.

We did it.

Red seal warning. Red seal warning.

Energy source unknown.

Unknown thermal heat pad.

I want you to have this.

Something to remember me by.

Have faith that in your darkest moment you won't be alone.

I'll be there, watching over you,

my beautiful girl.

Believe in yourself, Joan.

Welcome back, Lieutenant Dark.

My name is Daisy, and I'm here to assist you in any way possible.

While you reacclimate, you may want to have a seat.

It may take a moment for your eyes to adjust to the light.

While you have been given fluids, I strongly recommend

drinking 200 ounces of water in the next six to eight hours.

Are we almost there yet?

Yes, we 'll arrive at Phobos in approximately three hours.

Good morning, happy campers.

No, I am not another Al greeting you.

No, Iwouldn't dream of taking Daisy'sjob from her.

Nope, lam your pilot, welcoming you back to consciousness.

Oh, and before you ask, I totally went through all your stuff

duflngthe four-month slumber.

Well, some of you might feel queasy

after your crypto-sleep, so...

Hey, don't worry. That's perfectly natural.

Shower engaged.

Oh! Before I forget,

we've been having some plumbing issues

over the past few weeks.

It's been acting real spotty,

so, uh, I'd suggest you wait until we get to your final destination

before actually having a shower.

Malfunction. Malfunction. Malfunction.

You've gotta be kidding me.

Fuckers, die. Where the fuck did you go?

Tarek, I'm telling you, that's why he said it.

TO throw us Off.

It was a joke, Li.

That's what he wants us to think!

Hey, you honestly believe he went through our stuff?

GuYsapeN. Ukeyou,Hany So,yes,ldo.

Oh, shit!

Carley, that deep sleep learning program,

does that shit really work?

You know, I had to actually learn my foreign languages.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah, eight dead languages no one's ever heard of.

There's no chance you just forgot them?

NO. I never go anywhere without them.

They're my lucky pair.

You got a lucky pair of undies?

What makes them lucky?

Oh, Winslow, wouldn't you love to find out?

He better not have touched any of my shit.

Akua, you think the same guy that stole Li's underwear

would take something of yours?

And I'm saying, he better not have.

By the way, guys, who's gonna tell Carley

that the cryO-sleep turned her hair blue?

Oh, shit.

What you gonna do?

Morning.

Is this shit edible?

You know, I think it's time for that briefing.

Yep. Yeah, I think so. Yeah.

Hey, Li, where do you keep those undies?

Ll: Come on, move your ass.

Seems like a good group.

They can be.

You look good, Joan. Thanks.

You're a lieutenant now. That's, that's impressive.

Thanks.

And you went into science.

I've always been in science.

Right.

Sorry, I forgot.

What, we dated for what?

Six weeks, ten years ago?

It was more like four months.

Oh.

Have you been to Phobos before?

NO, no, my first time off Earth, actually.

This is sort of a promotion for me.

How about you?

Something like that.

Well, in the scientific community,

being assigned to Phobos

is like winning the lottery.

It's the very best draw you can get.

Funny, Phobos is considered the very worst draw a UAC Marine can get.

During Dr. Barnes' follow up exam,

we discovered antidepressants in his system.

No doubt this contributed to his current condition.

Regarding the procedure,

there were some unexpected power surges,

a few blackouts on the upper levels,

some damage.

We'll install additional backup power supplies

to reinforce the gate for the next test.

I recommend you do the same.

Of course, Doctor,

but UAC Board won't approve proceeding

until this incident has been investigated thoroughly.

You let me worry about the board.

Excuse me?

I have great latitude

with the information I choose to share with them.

I believe that this incident

unfairlyjudges the result.

Despite it all, we teleported a human from Earth to Phobos.

Who is displaying signs of extreme mental disorder

less than a sol later.

That was because of the drugs.

And the physical changes?

We always knew there were going to be

some cell reconfiguration issues.

We deconstructed a human and reassembled them.

I'm not gonna stop

just because the subject's fingernails grew.

We 'll make corrections.

Dr. Betruger,

what if the trip wasn't as instantaneous as it first appeared?

We are violating the laws of physics.

I'm fully aware Of what we're doing.

Ahmed, we're running out of time.

If we don't show progress, they'll shut us down.

There's too much at stake.

I'm not going to allow bureaucrats that don't understand

the science that keeps them alive today

determine the science

that will keep them alive tomorrow.

I could not, in good conscience,

select another to go through the gates.

You won’t have to. I'll go myself.

Phobos runs on Martian time.

A Martian day is called a sol.

A sol is 24 hours and 39 minutes long.

Phobos is the innermost and larger of the two Martian moons,

and the research facility is located

Yes, sir. Is all this information gonna be on the test?

Shut up, Rance.

Oh, it's fine, Doc. Join us.

You all know Dr. Bennett Stone?

If not, now you do.

He's hitching a ride with us.

Now, the facility is built into the moon,

and is divided into three levels.

Main level includes the cargo bay,

various Offices, living quarters,

administrative Offices and amenities.

Level two, service and maintenance.

It's also where they store the computer servers.

And finally, level three

contains the laboratories and reactor.

What kind of a reactor?

Fusion reactor.

Nuclear?

Yeah, but it's safe.

Because nothing bad everhappened

with nuclear power.

Well, the moon poses more risk than the reactor.

What do you mean?

Well, Phobos is one of the most unstable environments in the solar system.

That's why they call it "the Doomed Moon."

Cool.

Thank you, Dr. Stone,

for properly scaring the shit out of us all.

Okay, moving on to base personnel.

There are currently 90 in total.
