A Million Days

- Efforts to ratify an initiative limiting

global warming to nine degrees

has hit a roadblock... - Piracy in the Northwest Passage

shipping lanes will cost the global economy upwards

of 20 billion euros...

Hurricane Eva has now claimed the title

of the most powerful storm in recorded history.

Hurricaine Derek held the previous record for only three weeks...

The globel insect population

plummeted by nearly 98% since 1990...

The first charter for a permanent settlement

on the lunar surface was announced last night,

in New Manhattan. According to the

Committee at Large... - The Seed Programme's

lunar mission is again under the spotlight.

Mission Crew, do you copy?

My visor broke.

I can't see you.

It's getting harder to breathe now.

For God's sake, where are you?

I haven't got much time.

If I can locate the module,

I'll release my glove and use my thrusters.

Where are you?

Anderson!

Gene! Where are you?

Can you hear me?

I must have drifted too far.

I'm losing...

Anderson...

In between my fingertips, catching on

the morning sunshine,

Baby,

It flashes in your eyes

Every time we say good bye

Your blazing blue skies make me, oh, so shy.

Dance your way around me, cupid, no, you're on my

You're on my mind.

Where, oh, where,

where does all the time go?

Do I tiptoe on the tightrope,

around you?

Forgive me, I'm breathless-

Yeah, this is Sam.

Well, that doesn't make sense.

Well, because since the new quantum units have been installed,

Jay's processing time should easily have been halved.

Okay, check again.

Yeah, he just arrived.

OPS is tracking a scheduled cargo transport inbound

to the lunar orbital station.

Please confirm readiness to receive.

Well, you can apologize to him yourself.

Security will give you a location.

See you in a few hours.

Vlad, are you there?

This is Marlow at Mission Control.

I'm reading an incomplete safety check for the docking protocol.

We need a status update. - Copy that, Mission Control.

Diagnostics reports a localised component failure.

Let me check.

We have a non-functioning docking clamp.

Totally compromised.

We have a cargo vessel inbound to the space station,

but it cannot dock unless we form a proper

seal in the airlock.

Eavesdropping again, Anderson?

Can we form a seal with only five clamps?

Normally, yes, but the defective clamp

is locked in the closed position.

We need it open to dock.

Well, the clamp should still be within its scheduled lifecycle, no?

What about the coupled hydraulics, guys?

Anderson? You're on deck tomorrow. Get some sleep.

Plenty of time for that in quarantine.

No. Each clamp has a hydraulic arm coupled to the main compressor.

So, as long as the others are functioning normally, Vlad could isolate the

faulty clamp's hydraulics from the interior maintenance panel.

Vlad, is there any indication of damage to the clamp itself?

Vlad, copy?

What's your ETA?

Sorry. Trying to get a visual, but the remote cameras won't lock on.

There's no time. It doesn't matter.

As long as the clamp retracts to the open position and stays

there we can still get a seal. Vlad, can you get at the

manual valve control under the panel?

A bit of a rush now, mate.

I'd love to, but the panel is on a standard maintenance key.

I don't have one here.

Where is it?

- Command module. - Let's abort then.

No. Also negative.

I need the comms relay

for the satellite online and on schedule in case I need to fly manually.

Vlad, I'm sending a key direct to your 3D printer.

- Sixty seconds are I'm calling it. - No, we'll make it.

Vlad, I'm sending it now so make sure you're in receive mode, mate.

- You want me to print it here? - Yeah.

- We're cutting this too close. - Standby.

No, get this...

The docking clamps are overdue for replacement.

How did we miss this?

Out of the printer.

Approaching the panel now.

It seems to be stuck. I don't know if I can-

Vlad? Copy?

It worked.

Panel is removed.

Open position is confirmed.

Proceed with docking.

Thank you, Mission Control.

We have payload.

Thanks, everyone.

I want a full debrief at over 08h00 hours.

And one last thing...

Apparently Gene's alive.

Fugitive astronaut, Captain Gene Campbell was convicted

in absentia over the 2037 death of fellow astronaut Dr. Nazra Adib.

Well, he was bound to turn up sooner or later.

The remains of Dr. Adib were never found-

Thanks for letting us know.

See you bright and early.

Marlow out.

You okay?

Oh, yeah, always.

The case...

Is that what I think it is?

Yeah.

The committee finally declassified it.

I'll start dinner.

Sounds good.

- the Seed Programme was placed on an accelerated timeline

Four years ago...

Mission crew, do you copy?

My visor broke.

I can't see you.

It's getting harder to breathe now.

Are you worried?

Well, he's not usually gone this long, is he?

I mean, he'll be back. He always comes back.

Yeah. Just like you, right?

Yeah.

Just, he's getting old now, you know?

Just like you, then.

Yeah.

Buzz!

Here, boy!

Buzzboy!

Come on, boy.

Buzz!

What are you doing in there?

Just a second!

How did you manage that?

I mean, those steaks must have burned through

our carbon rations for the month.

Well, I'll be forced to eat ministry lentils for the next two.

But, you're worth it, Anderson.

I love it.

Oh. Knife.

You were brilliant, by the way.

You know,

Vlad should have been told about the clamps.

Yeah, but not by Jay.

Why? Because that would have been too efficient?

No, because it's a terrible idea to give an AI that kind of power.

Human beings still get to control what switches to flick.

We have to comply.

I mean, that's why my department has swelled in ranks.

The AI is now producing so much data that we can't keep up

and inevitably things get missed.

But nothing like today. That's, uhm...

That's new.

Don't worry, we'll figure it out.

I know you will.

I know, I know, I know.

What time's the chopper tomorrow?

Six sharp. Always six sharp.

You're the commander.

I mean... - Yeah, but if I'm not

hot and ready to go six, then I miss the quarantine window

and the mission lead goes to Bastian, over my dead body.

So every second counts.

And are you hot and

ready, now?

Yeah.

I will make

every second

count...

Are you expecting anyone?

Charlie.

Who's Charlie?

New hire. Smart.

It'll take a moment.

Every second counts.

So, I spent the weekend

trying to improve Jay's simulations for medical procedures in zero G.

And this morning, when I got to the office,

I saw that the simulations took the whole night.

We've established that. So?

So, I checked the report, and it turns out I set the durations
