Starsmith Project - Part 2 · Alien Worlds

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Above the Earth, slowly rotating through the silent voids of space,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: is the Arthur C. Clarke Astronomical Laboratory, Starlab. Here, the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: International Space Authority, ISA, an eternity of uncharted galaxies and
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the countless planets that orbit within their starlit boundaries. On
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: one of those planets, Tinian III, Professor Logan Starsmith and
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: his staff await the arrival of the components for Starsmith's
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: latest invention, a new hyperdrive unit known as the SPA-1.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: But as the two freighters carrying the SPA-1 components orbit
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: into a descent vector over Tinian, one of them, the
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Xanadu Trader, radios an urgent message to Starlab Control. We've
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: just been attacked by an unidentified alien vessel.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Huge.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Twice the size of a Viking-class cruiser. Any damage?
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: A negative, but the other freighter is gone.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: The Eldorado. She was orbiting with us.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Destroyed?
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Well, the alien didn't fire a shot.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: They locked onto the Eldorado with a tractor beam and
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: took her aboard through some kind of recovery hatch. As
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: news of the hijacking reaches Commissioner White, he calls a
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: hurried conference with SET commanders John Graydon and Buddy Griff,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: along with Starlab research director Maura Cassidy.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: Well, how many people knew what the freighters were carrying?
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Only Starsmith. The freighters were loaded three days ago. He
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: ordered them of himself.
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: Well, if there's been a security leak, Starsmith would seem
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: to be the obvious suspect.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Well, that's what we thought at first, but there's no motive.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Well, what do you want us to do? Go to
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Timmy and Three. Bring back Starsmith. We'll keep him here
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: till we can figure out what's going on. Besides, I
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: think a few days rest will do him good. John
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and Buddy leave Starlab aboard Delta One and warp through
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the time-space continuum, reducing the distance to Timion 3 from
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: days to minutes.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: During the return warp through.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Professor Starsmith undergoes a strange and terrifying transformation.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Oh my God, he's shriveling up.
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: He's dehydrating. I can see his cheekbones.
• 2:19
  Speaker 7: Rainbows.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: Rainbows. Golden rainbows are spilling out of his eyes.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Docking at Starlab, John and Buddy rush the being Starsmith
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: has become to the alienology unit in sickbay. But just
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: as Dr. Diana Rossiter is about to put the alien
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: into the anti-dehydration chamber.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: My team, sir. My team, sir. I'll miss you.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Captain Grif.
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: Diana.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: Diana, he's not breathing. Do something.
• 3:04
  Speaker 8: I'm sorry, Mara.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: He's gone.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Still retaining the synthetic human hand he was unable to
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: neutralize during his morphogenetic reversal, the alien slowly closes his
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: transparent eyes. as part two of the Starsmith Project unfolds
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: within the interstellar spaces of Alien Worlds.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Right and left lobes are 100% negative function.
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: Doctor, look.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: His hand is dissolving.
• 3:55
  Speaker 9: Let's get him into the chamber.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: There still might be a chance.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: You mean he's not dead?
• 3:59
  Speaker 9: If he were, the hand would calcify, not dissolve. I
• 4:02
  Speaker 9: think he's lapsed into a pre-death coma.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: I hope we haven't run out of time. Here's his data, Dr.
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: Rossiter.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: TOS profile, pathological readout, and neurotracings.
• 4:14
  Speaker 9: Nitrogen, oxygen, neon theta, hydrogen, paragen violet. His cells are
• 4:20
  Speaker 9: 92% paragen violet. Sandy, flood the chamber with an osmotic
• 4:24
  Speaker 9: vapor of 80% paragen violet and 20% neon theta.
• 4:28
  Speaker 8: All right, Doctor.
• 4:29
  Speaker 9: Maura, turn on the chamber microphone.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: This one? The red switch. Yes, that's it.
• 4:34
  Speaker 10: Captain Chris, I'm right here.
• 4:38
  Speaker 11: I was afraid.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: You don't have to be afraid anymore. We're all here
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: to help you.
• 4:44
  Speaker 11: Then you should know me. I am Matib, a thought
• 4:51
  Speaker 11: magician from an Iconian empire in the galaxy of Sirius.
• 4:57
  Speaker 8: Buddy, ask him what Professor Starsmith is.
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: Whose voice is that, Captain Griff?
• 5:03
  Speaker 12: My name is Mara, a friend of Captain Griff's.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: We're concerned about Professor Starsmith.
• 5:10
  Speaker 11: His spirit is within me.
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: His form is safe on Nekona.
• 5:17
  Speaker 11: Is there a physician among you?
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: Yes, Matib.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: My name is Diana.
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: Are you monitoring my heart pulsations, Diana?
• 5:27
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: I'm beginning to feel the symptoms of paragen violet saturation...
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: When I finish speaking, reduce the osmotic infusion 10% every
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: 25 pulses, then remove.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Me from the.
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: Chamber.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: An alien thought magician is saved from death by executive
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: physician Rossiter. Although Professor Logan Starsmith's body is safe on Nikona,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: his spirit still resides within Matibu. Exactly why and how
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Matib assumed Starsmith's body remains a mystery, one which moves
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: them deeper into an alien world.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Alien Worlds Continues.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: His health and strength restored, Matib is removed from the
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: anti-dehydration chamber and taken to a recovery unit in sickbay,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: where he explains the mysterious chain of events which have
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: brought him to Starlab.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: As the light of our sun diminishes, so does the
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: perigene violet content of our atmosphere. Those of us in
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: our middle years have been slowly mutating ourselves in order
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: to survive. with reduced amounts of the life element. But
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: because our children and elders lack the strength for cell mutation,
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: they've been dying at the rate of 500 a day.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: Is there any way you can save yourselves?
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: Our only choice is migration to a planet with a
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: high atmospheric content of paragen violet. We know of one,
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: but it's 2,000 light years from home. And without Professor
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: Starsmith's inventions, We'll never reach it in time.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: Our ships are too slow.
• 7:38
  Speaker 8: Why didn't you simply come to us and ask for help?
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: Emperor Mika doesn't trust you. He knows that the history
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: of Earth is one of almost fatal devotion to the
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: extremes of pleasure, pain, and power. And to Mika, all
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: extremes have their basis in fear and deceit.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Well, I think we'd all have to agree with that, Mateeb,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: but things have changed during the past century.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: I realize that, Commissioner. But Mika doesn't.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: He's old.
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: Perigin Violet Anoxia has all but destroyed his logic and reason.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: He no longer understands the universal constant of change, and
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: that it affects all sentient beings. There was a time
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: when he would have come to you himself, but now.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Well, how did you find out about the project?
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: It was top secret.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: There are no secrets from someone who can become anyone.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: I was a parsec engineer at the component facility in
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: New Chicago. I was the navigation officer aboard the Xanadu Trader.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: And finally, I was Professor Starsmith. We've always been aware
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: of Earth's technological skills, and we knew it would only
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: be a matter of time before one of your scientists
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: devised a revolutionary hyperdrive unit. I spent three years at
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: the New Chicago facility, waiting. Where are the men whose
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: bodies you biosynthesized? They were held in cryosuspension on Nekona.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: then returned one by one as I cycled through their
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: various identities.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: But what about the time missing from their lives?
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: Nothing is missing, Captain Gray. All I experienced in their
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: places was given to them when I returned their spirits.
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: They're not even aware they've been gone.
• 9:21
  Speaker 9: How did you manage to get Professor Starsmith to Nakona?
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: A number of storage tunnels under the project complex opened
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: several hundred meters beyond the laboratory. Last night, I left
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: Professor Starsmith at the mouth of.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: One of them.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: A Naconian lander picked him up at moonset.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Matib, would you be willing to try and convince Mika
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: that in exchange for Professor Starsmith and the crew of
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the Eldorado, ISA will give him all the Parsec accelerators
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: your planet needs?
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: When will you be able to leave?
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: As soon as Captain Griff is ready.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: You know something, Matib?
• 9:58
  Speaker 10: I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: How much further to the warp through Merion, buddy? Two minutes,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: 40 seconds. Mateeb, are you certain you'll be all right
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: during parsec acceleration?
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: As long as I only have to sustain one body,
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: faster than light speed is as harmless to me as it.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Is to you.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Skipper, we have three Piranha-class fighters at 282 degrees. 5,000
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: meters and closing. Magnify 1,000, and let's have a look
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: at them on beam auditor.
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: Captain, those are Naconian Spectrum Raiders.
• 10:36
  Speaker 10: Something's wrong.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: Mika's never sent a patrol out this far before.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: 1,000 meters and closing. 500 meters and closing.
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: Captain, open a close proximity sub-frequency. They have orders to
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: destroy any Earth ship they see. Mika believes I was
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: taken to.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Starlab and killed.
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: The pilot thinks my voice is a deception.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: They're going to nail us next time, Skipper.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: Please, don't fire on them, Captain. They're not aware of
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: the real situation.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Buddy, open the starboard fuel bay and jettison the primary
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: liquid oxygen pod, and then get ready for an emergency
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: warp through. The pod's jettisoned, Skipper.
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Now, when they start firing, blast the pod with our
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: starboard laser cannons, and I'll warp through behind the explosion.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Nice going, Skipper.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: We're in one piece and they think we're scattered from
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: here to the great beyond.
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: An excellent maneuver, Captain Grayton.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Nakona dead ahead, Skipper.
• 11:56
  Speaker 10: You sure weren't kidding about your son, Mateeb.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: The photosphere barely registers on the solar scanner. Mateeb, are
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: we approaching from the dark side?
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: All of Nakona is dark. It has been for over
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: two solar years. Captain Griff, if you'll program for a
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: descent vector of 068, we'll land at a deserted ice
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: flower plantation near the Citadel.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: As John, Buddy, and Matib approach Nekona aboard Delta One,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Emperor Mika sits alone in one of the Nekonian Citadel's
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: high towers. His spirit weakened by Perijan Violet's starvation, his
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: mind suffocated by hallucinations.
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: And then Nekona came out of the sun, and we
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: came out of Nekona into a void of broken eyes
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: and blood.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: And darkness.
• 13:02
  Speaker 11: Mika?
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: What do you want, Ariana?
• 13:06
  Speaker 8: The crew of the captured transport vessel. They're desperately in
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: need of water.
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: They can have all the water they need, but not
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: until I've eased the suffering of our own people.
• 13:18
  Speaker 8: Mika, please, they haven't had.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: That will be all, Ariana.
• 13:24
  Speaker 11: Yes, Mika.
• 13:26
  Speaker 10: Ariana.
• 13:27
  Speaker 11: Yes, Mika?
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: Please, bring me a heartbeam photon pistol.
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 13:33
  Speaker 8: You have no enemies here.
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: Oh, but I do, Ariana. They live all around me.
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: In the twilight and the shadows. The pistol, Ariana.
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: Yes, Mika.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: Yes. The pistol.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: As Emperor Mika sits, planning his revenge against a dark
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: force of invisible enemies, John, Buddy, and Matib enter the
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: subterranean corridors beneath the Nekonian Citadel and make their way
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: to one of Matib's cryo-laboratories.
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: Professor Starsmith is in here.
• 14:19
  Speaker 10: Matib, all these crystal pillars, what are they?
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: Beautiful. These are the cryo chambers. Buddy, Professor Starsmith is
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: standing inside this one.
• 14:29
  Speaker 10: He looks all right, doesn't he?
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: Captain Griff, if you touch that prism, the chamber will open.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: Captain Graydon, take these jewels and place the red one
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: over the professor's left eye, the yellow one over his
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: right eye, and the blue one in the center.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: Of his forehead. Like this? Yes.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: Now, please stand away or you may be harmed.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: Professor Starsmith? Professor Starsmith? Are you still here? Yes, Logan.
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: I'm still here.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: As John and Buddy watch, two razor-thin beams of golden
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: light erupt from the center of Matib's forehead and penetrate
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: the iridescent jewels over Professor Starsmith's eyes. The gem on
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: his forehead begins to oscillate, filling the white crystal chamber
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: with a blinding ultra-blue radiance. Matib begins to tremble, his
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: bioenergy temporarily weakened, as he returns Professor Starsmith's spirit, erasing
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the void between being and nothingness, where the professor has
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: been suspended in the dark sanctuaries of cryo-sleep.
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: How do you feel, Logan?
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: I feel a little dizzy. But I'll be all right. Hello,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Captain Graydon. Captain Griff?
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: Hiya, Professor.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Professor, I... Stand where you are, all of you.
• 16:02
  Speaker 10: Mika!
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: You were seen entering the Citadel, Mateen.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: I've been monitoring you ever since. Legionnaires, take them to
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: the cells.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Skip, put your blaster away, buddy. The outnumber is ten
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: to one.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Surrounded by Imperial Legionnaires, John and Buddy are disarmed, and
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: then along with Matib and Professor Starsmith are taken to
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: a subterranean prison cell beneath the Nikonian Citadel. Meanwhile, Mika
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: listens to the hallucinatory voices that continue to flood his
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: broken mind. Voices that insist even his friends are enemies,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: and that all enemies must be destroyed. Emperor Mika, a
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: lonely dweller in a sad mirage at the very center
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: of alien worlds.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: The End Alien Worlds continues.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Captured by Imperial Legionnaires, John, Buddy, Matib, and Professor Starsmith
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: have been locked in a cell beneath the Nikonian Citadel.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: And while Mika sits in one of the Citadel's high towers,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: deciding what to do with his prisoners, Matib has already
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: determined what that decision will be.
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: Unless we can confront him and convince him to listen...
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: I'm certain he'll have us killed.
• 17:51
  Speaker 10: Do you honestly believe he'd listen to you?
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: Mika and I have known each other all our lives.
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: I've experienced his kindness and generosity and wisdom throughout the years.
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: I can't believe that everything he was has been lost.
• 18:07
  Speaker 10: Well, if it isn't our boys in uniform.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: Professor Starsman, please come with us. Sartos?
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: Is that you? Yes, my dear.
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: Your helmet and faceplate, I didn't recognize you at first.
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: Where are you taking the professor?
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: Tomica.
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: You can speak English here, Sartos. These are my friends.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: All of us are your friends, Matib.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: We want to help.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: But you know the penalty for violating an imperial edict,
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: no matter how unfair it is. Professor Starsmith, please.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: Do you think you'll be all right?
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 18:53
  Speaker 8: Mika, they've brought Professor Starsman.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Have him come in. Tell the guards to wait.
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: Yes, Mika.
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: Professor?
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: Professor, I want you to contact your laboratory on Timion
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: 3 and order the rest of the components to be
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: transported here. If you refuse... I shall order the execution
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: of the freighter crew.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: You don't have to threaten me, Meeker.
• 19:23
  Speaker 10: You can have all the Parsec accelerators you need.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: That's what Matib.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: Wanted to tell you.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Matib has failed me. He didn't fail you.
• 19:31
  Speaker 10: Without him, we'd never have learned how desperately you need
• 19:34
  Speaker 10: our help.
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: I don't want your help, Professor. Only your invention. Our
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: own technicians are quite capable of assembling it.
• 19:44
  Speaker 12: That would take months. You don't have that much time.
• 19:48
  Speaker 12: If you let me supervise the assembly... it would only
• 19:51
  Speaker 12: be a matter of weeks. Mika, I'm willing to stay
• 19:54
  Speaker 12: here and help in any way I can.
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: Like you helped certain races on your own planet? I'm
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: familiar with your history, Professor. I know how a ruling
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: system like yours forced their way into other lands on
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: the pretext of helping. And I know how you destroyed
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: their cultures when they resisted you. What was the dominant
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: political philosophy of that age? Burn the infants of one
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: land so the earth could be made safe for the
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: children of another land?
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: That was a long, long time ago, Mika.
• 20:34
  Speaker 10: I live in whatever time I.
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: Choose, Professor. Now, shall we begin again?
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: He's begun a long time, Matib. What do you think's
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: going on up there?
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: I don't know, Captain Graydon.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: Ariana!
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: There isn't much time. Mika's in a terribly violent state.
• 21:02
  Speaker 8: Here are your weapons. Sartos gave them to me.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: Sartos? I knew he'd help us.
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: He said he had no choice. Not after seeing you here.
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: I'll leave the door open. Give me a few moments,
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: then come to Mika's chamber through the tower passageway. And please,
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: try not to hurt him.
• 21:23
  Speaker 10: Well, things are certainly looking up. Who was that, Mateeb?
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: Mika's daughter. I shall kill them, Professor.
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: I'll kill them all.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: All right, Mika. But you've got to promise me that.
• 21:38
  Speaker 10: You'll... No promises, Professor.
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: Now, please, follow me to the communications chamber.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: Mika, wait!
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Stand where you are, Mateen.
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: Mika, put that weapon aside. We don't want to harm you.
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: Mika, please listen to him.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: Ariana, Ari... Ariana, you set them free.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Mika, we've come to help your planet, your people.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: No!
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Skipper, look out!
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: Mika, stop it!
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: Stop it!
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Ariana!
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: Mateen!
• 22:11
  Speaker 10: I'm blind!
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: I'm blind!
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God, Skipper, he shot himself. I.
• 22:24
  Speaker 10: I couldn't help myself, Ariana.
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: The voices that were inside, they were mine. All this time,
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: I was only raging against myself.
• 22:41
  Speaker 8: Father.
• 22:41
  Speaker 11: Father. Father.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Realizing at last that his only enemies were the dark,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: distorted voices of his own sadly broken spirit, Emperor Mika
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: becomes a victim of his own rage. Understanding in this
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: final moment that only in the sanctity of death can
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: the raging sound of one's own self be silenced, purified,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: and given back to that infinite, invisible place.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: From which all things eventually return.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: There's good old Delta One, Skipper. Right where we left her.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: Professor, what should we tell your family?
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Tell them I've come to my senses and finally realized
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: that science exists not to serve itself, but to sustain
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: the balance of life everywhere in the universe.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Tell them Nekona.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Desperately needs my help, and tell them I've seen a
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: future in which we'll all be Nekonians someday.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: We'll be seeing you, Professor.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: So long, Professor, and good luck.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Goodbye, Mateeb.
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: Goodbye, my friend.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: Take care of him, Ariana.
• 24:04
  Speaker 10: He's too good to lose.
• 24:06
  Speaker 8: Thank you for bringing him back to us.
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: Watch the skies, my good friends.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: We'll meet again.
• 24:50
