Won't turn into Arizona no matter how long you stare at it.

My grandmother gave me this painting before she died. It's based on the

that at the end of the world, all the falling stars would come to the earth

turn the people of the earth into stars.

So is this how it's going to be between us?

Still not ready.

You're not the only one who lost our child, Callie.

I'm sorry.

Because he died inside me, sometimes I think I was the only one who knew her,

loved her.

I think I've been afraid that by trying to have another baby, it would be

disrespectful to the spirit of Amanda.

Well, maybe the next one will be Amanda.

Coming home to it.

Taking another shot at being born.

Morning. Have you had breakfast yet? Bought some bagels.

Don't you people ever knock?

There is nothing wrong with your television.

Do not attempt to adjust the picture.

We are now controlling the transmission.

We control the horizontal and the vertical.

We can deluge you with a thousand channels.

or expand one single image to crystal clarity.

And beyond, we can shape your vision to anything our imagination can conceive.

For the next hour, we will control all that you see and hear.

You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the deepest

inner mind to the outer limits.

Are we affected only by our outward experience?

Or are there other worlds that affect us? Hidden worlds that exist in the

and in the blood.

Not bad, Jim. Still warm.

I thought Houston only had good barbecue.

So, you didn't fly your new toy all the way from Texas to serve as breakfast.

Maybe I did.

Maybe I was just being neighborly.

Okay,

maybe I didn't.

You're going to love this.

A couple of years ago on the Martian moon Phobos, a quantum accelerator

a couple of newly discovered subatomic particles together.

And... My God, it looks like the Higgs boson field is being torn apart.

Translation? The foundation of our universe. Without the Higgs field,

would have mass. Atoms couldn't exist.

You can see right here how it's being stripped away.

A hole torn in the very fabric of our universe.

And inside that hole... Another universe.

Another continuum.

Existing just below the surface of the one we're living in.

We're calling it trans -space.

The first hole only stayed open for a fraction of a second. But eventually, it

got to stay open.

Long enough to send in a half a dozen unmanned probes into trans space.

Look at this here.

Probe went in here.

Half a second later, it appears on the other side of the solar system.

Which means trans space is a shortcut between two fixed points in space.

Very good.

We no longer be limited by the speed of light.

Fifteen billion people on Earth desperate for other planets to colonize.

could be their ticket to get out of the solar system into the galaxy.

We are putting together the first manned mission in the trans space. Now, I'll

be in command. I need two mission specialists.

I need an expert astrophysicist to analyze the environment.

And I need a medical doctor to study the effects of trans space on humans.

Now, you don't suppose you know where I can find a couple of folks like these,

do you?

All right. Should we accept?

Who else will be on the roster?

An astrogation expert by the name of Dr. Louisa Kennedy.

She'll handle... navigation as well as attempt to map trans space for us look

this is uh more than the usual risk on this one i mean two of the probes we

in never returned now the upside will be among the first to explore a whole

new universe well take all the time you need to decide as long as i have your

answer by this afternoon as we leave in two weeks

I know you feel rushed, but I... I feel disconnected.

You know we were planning on going home to the mountains this month.

Arizona will still be there when we get back.

This isn't about missing our trip, is it?

My grandmother lived a traditional Navajo life inside of those mountains

the day she died.

So here's her granddaughter, never at home, jetting around the solar system.

She was disappointed in me.

I'm not disappointed in you.

Never will be.

Barnacus, this is Titan Base. We're cleared to begin transition. Roger that.

Engines online.

Initializing particle generator.

Alpha sequel.

Viewscreen on.

Drilling commence.

Impulse button systems off the chart. Holding trajectory.

All compression red line.

Engine cord displacement 11%. Engage with program ready

to reboot.

Reboot my tailpipe.

Patent bait.

Wernicke, what the hell's going on?

Wernicke, watch as I anticipate it. Let's both all go.

Patent base.

The Pernicus is launching.

All right, everybody.

Grab on to anything down there.

That space, Pernicus has safely made its transition.

Portal closing. Can you read? Over.

We're on our own.

They're beautiful.

Are those stars or black holes?

So many black holes would have sucked this entire universe inside.

If anyone else finds this vaguely unsettling...

In the absence of light, space should be dark. Is there no bright reversion in

the sky for those who greatly think or bravely die?

Alexander Pope, don't you be bereaved.

I'm born with polytechnic talent.

That can't be good.

Increasing G -forces on the hull. I'll compression at two earth remedies and

climbing. What's happening? Whenever a ship enters trans space, billions of

gravitons, that's the little particles that make up gravity waves, attach

themselves to the hull.

Is that how you lost the second probe? Crushed like gravity particles?

Uh -huh. I'm using the ship's artificial gravity shield, repellent.

1 .5 teams.

1 .3.

G -Force is normal again.

We are the first humans seeing what we're seeing right now.

But I promise you we will not be last.

Because today, today humanity took its first step towards the stars.

All right, come on, let's go, folks. Let's get to work.

You didn't look too good during the transition.

It took a little discomfort.

Didn't you feel it?

No.

I don't think they did either.

Let's go check you out.

Why did it take him so long?

Tell your molecules to stop fidgeting.

Alec, I swear, I feel fine.

What is it?

God.

What?

Are you sure?

Ten days.

We had a fight that morning.

Kissed the maid out that night.

Kitchen table ringing bell.

But why didn't the pre -flight med scan catch this?

It was too early to pick up.

I never would have been allowed to come on this mission.

What effect will this have on the baby?

Well, the baby's not in any danger.

Your stress levels are a little high. Your body's pumping out more endorphins

than normal, but that's due to the excitement.

Should we tell Jim?

No.

Jim will just worry.

It's against regulations to withhold information.

Only if it jeopardizes the safety of the crew or the success of the mission.

And the ship's doctor.

I don't think that's the case.

And what about us?

Does this make a difference between us? Oh, Callie, do we have to analyze

everything?

Can't we just enjoy this moment?

It's a girl.

You know, the first unmanned probes entered trans space here and left it

And so on with the other probes. Now, since we know at what point they left

normal space and also returned to it, we can correlate points in our universe

with points in this universe.

And we get... A road map.

The beginnings of one at least.

someday we'll use this continuum as a freeway system with all France marked

way to Alpha Centauri, Arcturus. We have a good deal more trans space to chart

before it's even remotely an expressway.

Right now, I'll be happy if when we leave here, we wind up in our own solar

system and not 10 ,000 light years from home.

We're going to help a lot of people with this new freeway system.

I mean, this can open up doors that we haven't even dreamt of yet.

Be careful what you wish for, Commander.

You all right?

Yes, a headache. I've been doing spectra analysis on those dark stars for over

an hour.

Any idea what they might be?

Well, they seem to have some of the same elements you find in a star,

principally hydrogen.

They don't emit light.

Some unknown kind of radiation.

Everything here seems to radiate the same kind of energy.

Viewscreen on?

Including those huge objects.

We've been instructed to bring any vital samples back home.

Those are too big to fit in the cargo bay. Maybe we can cut off a piece with

laser.

Use the grapple beam to pull it in, shield it against radiation.

What do you think?

All right, what is it?

I have the hottest feeling when I look out there.

I think all this is somehow familiar.

If I were at home looking out my own window.

Looks to have quite a view.

Emergency. Shield failure is at block seven.

Intensity of fall at critical distance.

First status, five.

Three point two.

Three point two.

Three point two.

Blue shield system offline.

Has the hull been breached?

No.

Vance Concentration, grab the contract that's prepped on the aft of the ship.

That thing reaches 503. Kelly, we've got to get those seals up.

Rebooting. Reception power from forward seals.

4 .8.

4 .8.

Power to seal restored.

Internal gravity optimal.

Power's back.

With the redirect, we're at 80%. Everybody okay?

Well, the good news is the graviton particles were on our hull long enough.

for the external scopes to record their structure.

Look at this.

The graviton particles are actually part of a larger mass.

One big enough we can actually see.

Each one seems to consist of five nuclei.

You feel it, little one.

The whole show is disordered. You feel it.

You all right?

It was my Nala, Alice. My grandmother, she spoke to me.

She said, uh, Huina.

Huina? It's been so long.

It means something about a place.

This place.

She told me that the Hojo was disordered.

The Hojo is the harmony and balance of the universe. Its destruction by human

beings is the worst thing that can happen in the Navajo cosmos.

So, anybody else having any interesting hallucinations?

Come over here.

Is that what it felt like?

Hallucinations? No, that's just it. It felt very real.

I could even smell the lavender in her hair.

Clearly you were drawing on your own memories. I can't see any evidence here.

Delusional psychosis?

Kelly, honey, you're not crazy.

I am the nutcase in this family, remember?

It's clear to me you're having a physical reaction to being in trans

And let's not forget that you are pregnant.

How is the baby?

Perfectly normal.

But you, on the other hand, you're running a fever.

You got chills, body ache, headache, all the classic symptoms of infection.

But there is not a trace of either a bacteria or a virus in your system.

Bacteria? You're sick, but there's no reason for you to be sick.

Your immune system hasn't been activated. You don't have any antigen

course, that's it.

Where are you going?

Come on, I need your professional opinion on something.

Those are graviton particles.

What do they look like to you?

No clue. Come on, let's go. No, in your own experience as an M .D., what do

those particles remind you of?

Five nuclei.

Leukocytes, white blood cells. Exactly.

White blood cells. Good old white blood cells.

They attach themselves to foreign substances in the body.

Bacteria. Destroy the intruder.

Sound familiar?

These particles may be part of the natural order here. Their function being

protect this massive environment from alien substances.

And we are the alien substances.

Call it a subatomic defense mechanism.

We're still planning on bringing one of those big rocks inside this ship. We

better make sure it doesn't have a defense mechanism all of its own. Point

taken.

What about you? You're starting to look like tight -void Mary.

Hank,

it's no worse than a bad cold.

I should be able to do my job.

Nobody else has been affected like her.

No.

It, uh... It may have something to do with the fact that I'm...

And you waited till now to tell me this? We only just... Hold on a second.

I've known you for what? What, ten years?

Now, I wish you would have felt free to confide in me.

I'm sorry.

It's just that the mission... There's no evidence that the baby is in any

danger.

Callie's condition is relatively stable, but her symptoms are not consistent

with that of a pregnancy.

So what are you saying?

Something else affected her?

Yes.

All right.

I want a full -scale analysis of those big rocks out there. I want to know what

they're made of, the best we can determine, before we attempt our

operation. Now, those gravitons, they gave us a run for our money, and I am

taking any chances on their big brothers out there.

Double -check everyone, including me, for any symptoms like the one she's been

having. I want that done every hour if you have to.

All right. If you even think of withholding any more information from

have your butts kicked so far out of the space program.

They won't even let you ride Space Mountain.

Understand? Perfect.

Callie.

Congratulations.

Spectroanalysis indicates the large masses outside are 40 % hydrogen and

dioxide.

20 % iron, copper, and other trace elements, and 40 % unknown.

Some element totally absent from the periodic table.

Radiation? P is minimal. We should have adequate shielding against these

wavelengths in Kaga Holt. No defense mechanisms?

Graviton? It's not just a rock.

There's definitely some molecular activity going on inside, and given that

don't know what makes up 40 % of it, I can't say retrieval is totally without

risk. Well, then we're going to have to drop and raise our shields real quick.

Seems like acceptable risk.

Getting the key samples critical to our mission.

You screen on.

All right.

We're going to carve off a little piece of that one right there.

Move us in a little closer.

Time this thing just right.

Ready to take your stations.

Hello, little one.

No, I... It isn't real.

It's as real as you need it to be.

I need it to be not real. I need you back on the ship, not in some

hallucination. Remember our walks in those mountains?

I smell lavender.

Remember the backpack we'd fill with water and cookies?

Emergency cookies.

And remember what I told you just.

How all the earth is as alive as you or I.

The mountains are her heart.

The rivers and streams her veins and arteries.

All alive.

Connected.

And so our people have always believed.

Huina.

Now.

Now. Now.

The rock.

All power phones, yield.

Follow me.

Help me out here, Doc.

The gyro system's back online.

Civilization in five seconds.

And stabilizing.

Agent's completely offline.

Automatic reactor shutdown.

Wrong impulse power with primary reserve power partially added.

Graviton shield?

Some degeneration present but holding.

Take it easy, take it easy. I'm taking you back to the infirmary.

I'm all right. No, you're not all right. I've never heard anybody scream like

that.

Alec, it wasn't my pain.

Now I know what's happening here. Callie! I put it all together.

Callie, will you let Alec take you back to sickbay?

Please. Let me look at you. Thank you.

Let me show you something.

Okay.

Look, when that thing exploded, it released hydrogen carbon dioxide and a

of high -energy electrons, the same combination that creates the electrical

power in a living cell.

It suddenly reacted like a living organism.

All right.

Think of argument.

You say that this stuff is, uh, it's alive? You say that it's intelligent?

You're not understanding, Jim. There are no more consciousness cells in our own

bodies. But they are organic. It's all organic.

Those large rocks out there, they function like red corpuscles.

And the gravitons are the white blood cells.

And transphase is the bloodstream.

What are you talking about?

What if the universe as we know it is just the surface of the universe?

A bacterium living on our skin would think that this was the whole universe.

But if you injected it into a vein, what would it see then?

Red blood cells.

Those big rocks out there carry hydrogen.

The same way our red cells carry oxygen in our blood. Oh, so now you're saying

that the universe is some kind of huge being?

What I'm saying is the universe is alive.

From the moment I came here, I felt that like no one else could. I don't know

why. Maybe it's because I'm pregnant.

Because on some level, life recognizes new life.

Our presence is, in fact, a transmissive.

So her body mirrors the symptoms of infection.

And my subconscious mind has been working overtime trying to get my

mind to get what's going on. We're not.

It means the place lives.

This place is alive.

Stop. Stop. This is crazy.

I cannot make decisions that affect our lives based on some wild theory. No,

she's right.

I've been studying a cluster of these dark stars in the distance.

I used the computer to create a three -dimensional model and then rotated it

space. I thought the results were a glitch, faulty data.

The rotation of the stars created a double helix.

My God.

DNA. If this is part of some massive macrocosmic being, is that God

or something we've yet to comprehend?

place where all life began with energy out there could it be the life force all

right let's let's just back off the philosophical arguments for the moment

we've got to get this ship moving start plotting a course back to the exact

point that we in the trans base getting out of here this information will help

us on the next mission

Kim, trans space is much more than just a shortcut to the stars. It's not

something to be exploited.

No, trans space is our ticket to new discovery.

It's the pipeline to our future.

Without it, we are stuck in our solar system.

We would have never got this far if it wasn't our destiny.

I am all too familiar with the concept of manifest destiny, thank you.

I told you, I'm fine. Enough with the scanning already.

She's gone.

What happened?

The pain I felt?

Wait. No,

we can't. I've got to help Jim get the engines back online. Callie, let me do

job.

Five minutes.

Please.

Look at this.

I've aligned this black star here in transspace with its exact corresponding

point in our universe, which happens to be a star.

There are other parallels, too. Large masses here in transspace.

correspond with planets in our space.

And the objects in both universes have much the same chemical composition as if

they're linked somehow.

Linked, huh?

Maybe the objects here actually intrude or poke through in some way, creating

stars and planets in our universe.

I don't know. I think you're getting a little ahead of yourself, Doc.

Maybe life does start here in transverse.

The collision nearly ruptured the magnetic containment vessel in the

core. It's operating at less than 60 % of optimal strength.

Repairable?

Not with what we have on hand.

And if we try for anything above 60 % of normal power levels, the magnetic field

will collapse and... Boom.

Boom big time.

All right. So we got enough power on the engines.

We got enough power to keep Graviton's shields up so we don't get crushed.

It's going to be tricky getting back.

We'll have to switch power from the engines to the particle generator, drill

open a quantum hole, then switch back to engines. Split -second timing. I can't

afford to not get this information back home.

And I can't continue to risk the health of your child.

There's no telling what this environment's doing to it.

I'll tell you, I don't want you to worry, okay? I'm going to get you both

safe.

It's going to be all right.

So what are you going to name her?

All right, child.

I'm unconscious.

Is that it?

Actually, you're more conscious than ever.

I thought all this would go away.

After I lost... Go on.

Say it.

You're safe.

After I lost Amanda.

I grieve with you, child.

What else makes you sad?

No, stop it.

You're not real. You're just a memory from my subconscious mind.

Perhaps your subconscious remembers more than you do.

What else makes you sad?

When I was a little girl, you showed me all the constellations.

The bear, the sun, the porcupine, the horned rattlesnake.

I fell in love with the stars because of you.

And when I left home to study those things that you taught me, I

saw the hurt and disappointment in your eyes.

Did I ever ask you to stay in the Four Corners?

You didn't have to.

I knew that's what you wanted.

I would never ask anyone to trade their dreams for mine.

I lived within the sacred lands all my life.

I woke each morning and prayed, made offerings, tried to live a life of

harmony and balance.

I did these things because so few in this century do.

I felt someone had to.

Because I love the lands, it was not our choice.

I love them too.

I know you do.

And that is the true essence of Rujo.

Of harmony.

Respecting and balancing the universal order.

The forces that bring life.

You don't have to live within the four corners to do that.

If there was disappointment in my eyes when you left, only because

I loved you and I didn't want to see you go.

I think I'm ready now.

I felt calm, happy.

I felt like life itself bursting with promise and excitement.

You look amazing.

You look ten years younger.

Like when we go hiking in the mountains back home.

And I'd take a deep breath of air, and I'd know that it rose off the hot floor

of the desert, cooling the higher it got.

One breath of air, and it connected me to everything around me, from the earth

to the sky.

I felt the life.

And I felt the death, too.

Amanda's death.

The possibility of our own.

And it was all part of it.

I want

to

make love with you, Alec.

Here.

Now.

Here. Now.

folks we're almost home approaching original entry point 50 meters 40 30

full stop increasing

g -forces on the hull taking more and more power to repel the gravitons

everywhere we got enough juice to drill a hole and go home not enough for the

entire ship big enough for the escape pod no not even for the pod If we

off the graviton shield, how much time would we have to open a hole and get the

Copernicus through?

That would give us enough power, but it would leave us less than 30 seconds

before the entire ship was crashed.

That's not enough time to make the transition.

What do we have left in the reactor core?

Less than 60%. All right.

Now, if we crank that up manually, 75%, to make the transition, how long before

the reactor overload?

Jim, no. How long before overload?

A minute, maybe two.

All right, well, that's all the time we need.

Download your data to the escape pod.

Evacuate. By the time the reactor blows, we'll be home free.

All right, Dr. Kennedy, get your transition program online.

It's set to drill that hole to the escape pod.

Wait. My God, Jim. It's a living thing, and you want to set off a nuclear

explosion inside it? We have no other choice.

The radioactivity could poison this whole continuum for the next 10 ,000

If trans space is poisoned, we could very well poison ourselves.

Poison the very source of life itself. That is speculation.

What if she's right?

My responsibility is the safe return of this crew and the information that we've

gathered. Now I'm ordering you to download your data into the escape pod.

Because we're getting out of here. Now.

I've programmed the computer to override and raise power levels to 75 % in

exactly 15 minutes. Set the particle generator to open a hole 10 seconds

Okay.

Callie, I'm... I'm sorry.

I know.

Manifest destiny.

How we doing, Doc?

Ready for launch.

All right, I'll take the helm.

You okay?

I don't know.

I love you, Alec. I always will.

I know.

Come on.

Callie!

Callie!

Transferring reactor control to bridge.

Turn back.

I can't. She locked the door to the ship.

I can't.

She changed the sequence code.

Stay on in position and hold.

Callie! Callie, can you hear me?

I'm here, Alec.

Callie, don't do that.

It's already done.

Activating particle generator.

The ship doesn't have enough power, Callie, to make the hole.

It will when I drop the graviton shield.

I'll reboot extra power from the shield. That surge should open a hole for you

to go home.

Once you're through, I'll take the reactor offline.

It's the only way to save both you and this universe.

God, Callie, no!

I had to, Allie.

When I lost Amanda this time, I thought all this life around us and only death

inside me.

If we poison this place, I'm afraid...

No, I know, somehow, all women, all humanity will only have death inside

Dropping Graviton Shield.

I'm sorry, Alex.

I wish it didn't have to be this way.

I wish I could hold our child in my arms before I die.

Or see the sunrise in Arizona one last time.

Earth's gravity is rising. All compression imminent.

Callie, I love you so much.

And I love you.

Goodbye Goodbye my love

Little one.

You have lived the way.

We are shaped by our experience, both within and without, present and past,

and we pass those experiences on in our blood, giving birth to new generations,

and sometimes...

Intelligence is what you use when you don't know what to do.
