AE: Apocalypse Earth

Attention: This is a secure area.

For your own safety move away

from the spacecraft. Selectees please move quickly to your assigned boarding stations.

Altus exodus.

Welcome aboard altus exodus.

- Welcome aboard altus exodus. - Move this line faster.

Come on!

Move it. Faster. Move it! Come on.

Vasquez.

Help!

This is baum. The crowd is riding. I have men down. -Stop! Stop!

Pebbles. Howell you're with me.

31st command. This is baum. Do you read.

Dammit!

I have un authorized personnel boarding the Albert Einstein.

In pursuit. Ground that air support. Close those doors!

Freeze! Freeze!

We just wanna live.

Captain. We may have stow aways on board.

Emergency launch now!

Now!

Full thrust now.

I'm sorry. We can't do that lieutenant..

Baum sir. Frank baum. 31st tactical command.

North American joint military.

Captain Sam Crowe. Activate autopilot and sleep mode.

Sir. Those people don't belong on your ship.

This is one of humanities lifeboats.

Some where chosen for needed skills. Others were picked by lottery.

So one human must be just good as another.

Well I have to get back sir.

My team and I are part of earth's defenses.

Tim activate interface once we reach cryo.

Yes sir.

We're not going into cryo sir.

You know there is an old sailor saying Frank.

"Never jump into a lifeboat until you have to jump up into it".

The war is over. We lost.

No sir. We are not giving up.

We've been accelerating at one "g" ever since we left orbit.

There is no going back.

I wasn't asking, sir.

You know what? You can shoot me.

But you can't change the laws of physics.

We are going to another world. And we will all

be very happy to have your protection there.

Altus exodus, Frank.

Do you see a red cape, sir?

What are you looking at? Everyone back to work.

Alright lieutenant we'll be putting you in cryo now.

I'll hang on to this.

Will I dream?

Nightmares...

It will be like no time has pass at all.

Come on. Up you go. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Alright.

Hey!

Psst! Over here.

Take that off.

What?

Ssshh!

You might as well have a bull's-eye on your back.

How we - what the hell's going on?

Who's shooting at us?

I don't know.

Let's go. Let's get out of here.

Come on. Come on.

I'm going up there to recon.

You stay here. Take him.

I thought I told you to stay back there.

You're the one with the gun.

Come on.

Come on.

Frank.

Frank.

Report.

Howell died in crash.

I don't know about vasquez.

Something's been chasing us but I couldn't get a good look.

They took out vasquez.

They're big. Some sort of sonic disrupt or with active camouflage.

Active camouflage?

I found these two wondering after the crash.

We better get moving. There's a stream about half a klick away.

We'll throw them off our trail.

Why should we follow you?

I'm the one with the gun.

No weapon?

Lost it in the crash. I got this.

Could you find anything bigger?

It's bigger then yours.

It's not what your mama said.

Alright.

Did you see those others?

The pale skinny ones?

Yeah I saw them.

They disappeared quick though. I don't what they were.

They looked almost human.

Almost.

Who are you people?

We are-

No, no no. Too much noise. They're harmless.

Who are you people?

We're from the Isaac Newton. We came in on-

What the hell was that?

Come on. Come on.

Follow the stream.

I'll bear off and lead them away.

With you boss.

Oh no, you stay with them. Keep them moving.

Watch your 6.

You! You're t.I.M.

Yes sir. I'd be happy to assist you in anyway I can.

No, why is he in charge?

Come on.

Come on. Hurry up!

Sir, I might suggest you would be safer under these unusual

circumstances if you were to lower your voice.

We want them to follow us!

Sir, I am programmed to preserve human life.

I'll preserve your damn ass if you don't make some noise!

As you wish, sir. I'm happy to assist you!

I found a place to hide.

Who the hell are you people? You weren't on the

Albert Einstein. And where the hell are we?

Don't you know? You've got crew.

You've got that.

It's ok Honda.

We were on the Isaac Newton.

That was the first ark to leave.

Right. We crashed here. We don't know why. None of our crew survived.

We were rounded up by the chameleons. Those things that are chasing us.

Some of us were brought back and were put in to the um-

I don't know what to call it. It was like a prison? A zoo? A lab?

What does it matter? It has cages.

It had cages. Until your ship crashed into it.

Now more of our people are dead.

But you're free.

Yeah and now they are hunting us instead of feeding us.

Do you want to go back there?

No.

I didn't think so.

Now we have to work together.

To do what? We don't even know where we are.

Captain, do you know where we are?

I-

This can't be Alpha proxima 5. There's only one sun.

Where...

It's the head wound. Probably a concussion.

You a doctor?

I'm a nurse, but I don't have any supplies.

I'll see what I can do.

What about you? You are t.I.M aren't you?

I am a transhuman interactive machine.

But my friends call me Tim. I'd be happy to assist you in anyway I can.

Make me a banana split.

I regret I don't have the necessary ingredients.

Yeah, then what good are you?

Where are we? And how can we both be on the same planet.

Hannah, each ark went to it's own destination.

I'm very sorry that I can't answer your question.

Whatever caused the ship to crash happened before I was scheduled to awaken.

However, once I was functional I began recording all ship's telemetry.

Really? Just before the crash I saw something, triangular.

It looked like a space ship.

Yes. I believe I can provide range and bearing to that target.

But exactly what it is, I'm afraid I can't say.

Then we have a plan. That ship could be our ticket home.

We left earth for a reason. The aliens were exterminating us!

What do you think these aliens are doing?

We'll find that ship and get back to earth.

We've got to get away from here as far away as possible.

Right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, well you're the one with the gun.

So how long were you prisoners?

More like lab rats. But about 2 years.

That's not possible.

I saw the Newton leave on TV a month ago.

I lost counted of the days around 490.

I was sick for a while. And that was a while ago.

All relative.

How long does a concussion last?

I believe captain Crowe may be less impaired than he seems.

He may be trying to convey that the elapsed time disparity is due

to the effects of Einstein's theory of special relativity.

I always hated physics.

Sargent, let's scout at 6. Make sure we are not growing a tail.
