Why is there an atomic resolution scanning electron microscope?

Why do I know that?

Am I fu -

I can't be the only person here, right?

No, no, no, no. That's a pilot.

Called Houston.

Operation Go Home, in effect.

That's the sign.

There it is. So, what are we, like, Neptune -ish?

Let's crank up the radio and call Earth.

Oh.

No. Nope.

You're wrong. I need a bathroom.

Ha,

ha, ha, ha.

Jonathan.

So what can you tell us about the ArcLight probe?

What do we expect to find?

The image we see will be coming from the onboard microphone.

Sound waves are physical, and at different

frequencies, they make difference.

Tatter, no patter, they make difference.

Olivia, can you help me out? Try going. There we go.

Whoa.

Yeah. Are they really eating the sun, the space dogs?

That is a great question.

right? Can I be curious what your parents think about that? I'm not sure

should come from me. Hey, who wants to play a game of The Beanbag is Lava?

Lava! Lava!

Lava! Lava!

Lava! Lava!

Lava! Lava! Lava! Lava! Lava! Lava! Lava!

Lava! Lava!

Lava!

Lava!

You can't pass.

Two years ago, a radio telescope enthusiast

named Marina Petrova, she noticed that there was a streak of infrared light

the sun to Venus.

And that is now known as the Pittsburgh Line. That's it.

That's the dot?

They think so.

What dot?

They sent a probe up to the Petrova line, and this is what they found.

Are they eating the sun?

They seem to be dimming the sun a tiny, teeny, weeny little bit.

So no big one?

It's a small one.

It's a small to medium one.

Over the next 30 years, the Earth could cool maybe 10 to...

This is 15 degrees.

So it is a big world. I heard that all the crops will die, the economy will

fall, and half the earth will die of starvation.

We're all going to die.

Yeah, that's true.

You're forgetting something. Guys, guys, that's if that were to happen, right?

They're going to figure this out.

Right now, the best mind in the entire world.

Monday morning, with no way to hold my head, it didn't hurt.

And the fear I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I

had one more for dessert.

Then I headed back for home and somewhere far away...

On the Sunday morning sidewalk,

wishing love I was gone.

Don't say something you said to me.

Goodbye and be alone.

We'll be right back.

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Not good at jokes.

Not good at jokes, who?

Maybe.

Maybe.

Me.

Did you write this?

Oh. I'm interested in this section here, page 31.

The Goldilocks Zone is for idiots why everyone is wrong about life.

That was a long time ago.

Did you stand by what you wrote? I was fired for standing by what I wrote.

You were fired for calling the leading scholar in your field a staggering waste

of carbon at the UNESCO conference in Denmark.

You heard about that, huh?

Look, I don't know what this is, but I think that's lava.

It's not.

Okay.

No one in your peers wants anything to do with you because you refuse to break

down from a very unpopular view and I can give you a chance to prove them all

wrong. Uh, that's, uh, Kevin, no running. I'm not.

Uh, don't tell them because I don't even care.

Go.

I think you do care. You're just running away because you're scared.

Normal.

Do you still believe water is unnecessary for life to evolve?

Uh...

Look, there is nothing magical about hydrogen and oxygen.

Water is required for life on Earth. Sure, but a completely different planet

might have completely different conditions. I don't know why that makes

a nut. I need you to come with us.

Sorry, I didn't get your name.

Carl,

hi. Dr. Grace, Dr. Verlaine slept us back down last night and wants you to

me what they are, how they work.

I am a teacher at Grover Cleveland Middle.

Yeah, the doctorate in molecular biology.

And I ride a bike to work.

And it's not for exercise, so I'm sure there are thousands of other people.

It's the rays on the surface of the sun.

Does that sound like a water bridge platform to you?

I'm really dying.

Yeah.

Is all of this necessary?

Yes.

Am I expendable? Is that what you want me?

It's almost like you don't care if I die.

Hold on, you have to talk about it?

Thanks,

guys.

Are they alive?

They're moving.

So they're alive.

Yes, they're moving, but that could be for many reasons.

What have they made of?

It's going to take a long time. It took like 200 years to figure out how

bacteria work, so... Please do it faster.

I'm just going through the whole life spectrum here.

Wow!

You're not going to believe this.

Nothing happened.

I can't see into these buttons.

Amazing. Back sprays, microwaves, cameras, visible light.

Nothing.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

I'm excited to do this all day.

It's a cell.

Wake up, it's a cell!

It's a tiny alien cell.

Guys! Guys!

This is cursed contact!

There's a light outside of the... Uh -oh.

Oh, God.

What?

This is great news.

Now we can find out what they're made of.

You guys fired up?

Almost entirely of water.

Alright.

Sorry if I overreacted in there.

Just realizing I was wrong about the only original idea I ever had.

Yeah, what else did you learn?

They give off infrared light when they move.

Like so much, I don't know how they store all that energy.

But their wavelength is exactly the petroleum frequency.

Their light is how they move. Yeah, they consume the sun's energy and then they

expel it from propulsion.

They think it's good, basically.

Why don't we go to Venus?

I have 347 other biologists from 21 countries who are organizing this week.

So, thank you for your help. I'm glad you didn't die.

Let's pack this up.

That's it.

That's it, Colonel.

You're taking all this stuff?

At the school you said there were thousands of people more qualified than

so... I'm being modest.

I don't need modest. I need people who think they're right when everyone else

thinks they're wrong. I need people who piss other people off. That's me.

Do you want to be on a project?

If you... If you think I can help, then just answer the question.

I want to help the world. I left you three dogs.

Just three?

That's one you killed.

I would take the three.

Yes? I'll take the dog.

Good to work, Dr. Grace.

The world is counting on you.

that you're an interstellar microorganism.

I'm not doing that.

Why would you leave the sun to go to Venus?

Why not start with our periods closer?

Maybe fresh air.

Venus's atmosphere is mostly CO2.

Maybe that's fresh air too.

I don't know if there's no space dust like.

Do you have a coupon?

We don't need a coupon. For the government.

Which government?

All of them.

So this box is Venus.

The box is Venus.

It's set to emit the same infrared light frequency as Venus' CO2 atmosphere.

So if the dots move when you turn the lights on, that means they're looking

CO2. Thus proving the Carl hypothesis.

Sick.

All right. All right. You ready?

Uh -oh.

Why you tell?

The astrophages moved off the slide.

Huh? We lost them.

What do you mean we lost them? Go get them.

If I open the door and the light, they're going to escape, and we'll lose

forever, at least now they're in the box.

So we just turn the lights off?

They'll still be lights. It's got to be total darkness.

Okay, so just put this box in another box.

and I made a baby.

What?

We forget how the astrophage breathes.

What was that?

You know, Carl, when Strat said she was dead in the jet, I thought you were like

a PJ.

Take this.

You know, a lot of times I've taken a pill from a stranger without knowing

it was.

In theory, just get a bunch of elbow -shaped pipes, put sunlight in one of

excuse me for a second.

Write it down.

And IR light and CO2 in the other.

Repeat. Anything else you need for this? Water. He gave me a pill and it's still

in my throat.

Thank you so much. Water for him. Or coffee, yes.

I need those.

Or not.

Okay, so this is kind of a tough rule, so don't take it personally.

fancy. I just wanted a bed and a shower. I'm good.

Everyone,

this is Dr. Rylan Grace from the United States.

Please come here. Thank you. And he figured out how to breathe as a pain.

How did you do it?

Carl and I made a mini Venus out of a plywood box, and as soon as the samples

recognized the spectral signature of CO2, they were like, whoop,

there it is.

While your experiment was crude and clumsy, our scientists have replicated

results.

Sorry, how did you feel? How did you... We estimate an eight -day doubling time

under optimal conditions.

Dr. Grace is right.

Oh. It is the CO2.

That's why they're going to Venus.

She's saying it for everyone. That's why they're going to Venus.

So that's why they're going to Venus, is what Dr. Grace wants to say. They're

going free.

There it is.

I really like him.

How long to make two million kilograms?

Two million?

Two million is... Why on earth would you need that much

astrophage? Nobody told him. He has no clearance.

I hereby grant you top secret clearance to all of the masons pertaining to the

project, Hail Mary.

What's wrong, Hail Mary?

All right.

The sun is not the only star dying.

There is a clear pattern of infection. Every star was infected by its neighbor

except one.

Tau Ceti? Tau Ceti, that's right. 11 .9 light years away. It is uninfected

despite being well within the cluster of infected stars.

Why? Why? Tell him.

We don't know!

Which is why we decided to build a ship to go there and find out.

It's 11 .9 miles away. We can't build an interstellar ship.

Oh, yeah, we can. The ship is not really the problem.

The energy required to power the ship is the problem.

It was the problem.

Weep, weep.

The astrophages, the fuel.

Provided we can make it up.

And for that, we need you, my friend.

Me?

Ooh, those little guys store a lot of energy.

One mistake in that much astrophage could vaporize California.

That's true, which is why you now live on a boat in the middle of the ocean in

here.

I live on a boat?

You do.

So you want to build a near -light -speed spaceship, have it travel further

any human -made object has ever traveled, and visit a star just to see

up? Yeah.

And then what?

There won't be enough fuel for a round trip, so they send their findings back

Earth Control.

And the astronauts die in space.

Any other plans you've

thought of? Anything else you're kicking around?

There are infinite possibilities for this to go wrong. It almost certainly

work. It's what you Americans would call a long shot.

Yeah, Mary.

I get it.

The alternative is to just do nothing.

And to starve and to kill each other with everything on the planet going.

We only need three.

Pilot, an engineer, and a scientist.

Commander Yao, I must have known you, but I just don't remember.

You make a funny face in literally every picture.

You must have been very smart and strong and brave.

Ilyukna?

I owe you three bags of vodka.

You seem to have had a lot of friends.

This picture of you, what looks like sneaking into the Kremlin, is

legendary.

I wish you were still here.

I wish I wasn't alone.

I wish I was doing a better job.

We were both very loved.

You deserve much more than this.

I'll do my best to make sure that you don't.

You know, that you didn't.

I'll do my best.

I'm not a pilot!

The telescope operational.

The telescope operational.

You have a patrol line.

But you're not doing it.

Why?

What's up with that?

Nope, nope, nope. Let's go. Let's go, Mary.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Pilots detected.

Please engage restraint.

Pilots detected.

Pilots detected.

We're getting out of here. Engage restraint.

Incorrect. Welcome to the Hill, Mary.

Is it this thing?

They're sending me something.

It could be a message.

It could be a bomb.

Is it a bomb?

It killed us!

Why not?

I guess there's Edgar Mozart faces, huh, Mary?

What's that?

Why is it moving so much slower than the last one?

If we were going

to catch it, what would we do?

Yeah!

Just crazy.

We need equipment

to analyze the astrophage at our setting.

Most of this equipment won't work in zero gravity.

And we haven't seen to develop and build zero gravity versions of this

equipment. We would need years for that, and we have months.

What's the alternative?

We need zero gravity.

Centrifuge?

Centrifuge. They used them to make butter during the Civil War, actually.

Fun. Fun fact.

Still Xenon.

Up is down, left is right, Xenons are solid, aliens are real. I'm wrong about

everything and everything's wrong.

The left is tidy, righty -woody.

Oh.

I don't understand.

You want me to

go back in my ship?

But I just got here.

Okay.

Okay.

I'll talk to you later.

Bye.

Thank you.

I like what you've done with the gravity.

I made you a ship.

It's ramen.

I only made one. I'm not sure how many of you there are.

Right.

You can hear me when you want.

Wow.

I can't seem to see his face.

He's serious.

His faces are overrated.

You like tapping, huh?

You're pointing.

You're not tapping. Sorry.

Another present.

have one of these.

I love it.

Thank you.

Do I put this on my head?

Take off my head?

Take my helmet off?

No?

It'll... That's a big ass.

this is taking a turn thank you for the what i hope is not handcuffs i'm sorry

about the whole helmet thing unfortunately i need oxygen to breathe

two

rings of eight oh two

This is oxygen.

I still don't think I can do it, though. Sorry.

If I'm wrong, I'm really wrong.

The Patrova Line.

We're here for the same reason.

You have a Patrova Line problem, too.

You need to solve it. I need to solve it.

That's why you made me do it.

I'm going to take that as a yes.

We're going to save our planet, so we have to learn how to communicate.

You know, they say math is the universal language. I thought maybe we'd fall

down if that's true.

See the numbers?

Oh, you want this?

Whoa!

Crispus Eve, that is.

It's really hot in there.

Is that ammonia?

Anyway, that's... Let's see the numbers.

There you go. They're on the other side.

Do it again.

If you do it again, don't let it snap back.

Don't do it. Don't do it. Hold it like that.

And you look.

How about something else?

Look at this.

A clock.

We both have time, right?

These are the hands and these are the numbers. One, two, three, they point to

the numbers.

And you'll notice there's numbers there and there's also numbers here.

Okay.

It is dark.

Wait. Don't... Don't go anywhere. Stay.

Oh.

Oh, yeah.

Um... I'm Grace.

I'm gonna call you Rocky.

You know, because you look like a giant rock.

Oh.

Um... I'm fine.

Echolocation, right? You need surfaces to see. Try this.

You see the numbers?

What's that?

Is that good?

Is that good?

We do this.

Your version of this is our thumbs up.

No, that's thumbs down.

Let me do the thumbs up.

It's close enough.

You want me to wait?

I wait?

Yeah, no.

I'm really excited to be working with you on this.

Fired up. Sorry I'm talking so much.

It's just I haven't been around anyone in a long time.

It's the clock.

I showed you a clock and... You're filling me up.

We're, uh, clock bros.

Right.

Um, I gotta be honest, I... I'm not sure I'm getting...

Check this out.

I thought I might record you. Oh, no, no.

No, that's okay. Just a microphone. One second. Let's start with one.

One.

No, no. Wait, wait, wait. Sorry.

Okay. One.

Okay, let's start with you.

Rocky.

My name, can't wait to hear this, is Grace.

What's your word for my name? Go ahead.

in my relationships anyways.

He's a mechanic, I think.

He uses a battle form of Xenon. He can make anything.

Look at this.

I'm calling it Xenonite.

And if I can't understand what he's saying, which is most of the time, he

on a little puppet show for me and my tiny brain. And you know what?

I don't mind that it's kind of growing on me. At least not growing in me, you

know, which was a concern for a little while.

His son is dying too, so maybe we can help each other.

Recognize this?

We call it Astrophage. It means star eater.

Yeah. Same.

How did they die?

Oh.

Um... There were three of us and...

He died on the way here.

I wish I knew why.

Ew. Oh, it's this bump, by the way.

What's that?

This my bump.

No, it's this bump.

It's not the same.

Exactly. The astrophage has to reach Talseti, otherwise we wouldn't see the

metropolis.

Do we really need this home run?

Oh boy.

You know, I used to have one of these in my classroom and it was a lot simpler

to set up.

What's that? What? What?

That is a great question.

You know what?

Why is a

school

teacher in

space?

Meryl Streep.

Why is a schoolteacher in space?

She can do anything.

Why is a schoolteacher in space?

Why is a school in space?

That's not bad.

I like.

All right. And in answer to your question, I have no idea what I'm doing

space.

Is okay.

Grace, find out when Grace go home.

How am I going to sleep?

No understand.

Word.

Sleep?

Just like this?

Dead, died, just died, died? No, not died. Just lay here for 29 ,000 seconds

then we... Wake up. Oh, understand.

Okay, here we go.

Good night.

I watched Great Sleep.

No, that's fine. That's a little weird.

Good night.

That's really interesting.

That sounds like something you can unpack that tomorrow.

That's where you're going to be? No, it's usually closer.

On your chest.

I wonder if it would work from a little farther back.

But Grace won't feel comfortable and safe.

Well, I'm... And look, I'm seeing, um... So many sides of you, ain't we? And

it's great.

Right now I'm seeing the underside of you.

Cut the sides before anyway. Good night.

Even though we watch each other sleep.

Viridians don't sleep like a human does.

They seem legitimately paralyzed.

If danger comes, you can't wake up.

The survival norm.

Someone has to keep you safe.

It's an honor.

I'm excited to hear what I've learned about astrophage and spin drives.

One thousand and nine of these little engines that could on the Hail Mary

Okay.

Once the mission is complete, we have the option to end our lives on our

The alternative is slow, miserable death by starvation. I want to do a lethal

injection of the liver with the heroin.

I will have what she's having.

Following on from Dr. Grayson's discovery, we built an IR emitter set to

wavelength of CO2, which contracts the astrophage to this revolver. The drive

then rotates upwards.

We increase the IR.

The astrophage get excited, thrust the ship forward, and so on and so on.

This is...

less than a gram of astrophage, and we only need a fraction of this for the

fenestration in particular, to do what?

To melt a metric ton of metal.

Powerful stuff.

Commander Yao, I really appreciate what you all are doing.

You would do the same?

I would choose just not to go at all.

I don't have the bravery gene that you all have. Trust me.

It's not a gene. You just need to find someone who will be brave for you.

You're in a ball.

No, Rocky, no dying. Great atmosphere. I come up.

Great and Rocky face side. Have to kill after a face together.

I keep going this way?

This room's boring.

Science, favor, big air is good plan.

Put this down here, Chris.

Hey, hey, hey.

Rocky wanted to do human technology.

Dirty. Dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty.

Well,

I wasn't expecting company, was I? This room for garbage?

Oh, no.

This is the lab. This is where the science... What's this? What's this?

Rocky will build work from here. We'll need much room for Rocky. And much less

space for Gray.

We go for trova lines. We collect astrophage. We study it. We go home. We

collect. We save earth. We take weeds. Uh, where?

I see Gray.

Apology. Apology. Apology. Rocky's dead. Rocky, my hand is up.

We can't just show up in a space ball and announce and move into someone

space. Right? There have to be boundaries.

Boundaries. We have one mission.

Mission. But we're two distinct individuals. Individuals. Both working

distinct individual part of that mission. Mission.

Separately. Separately. Okay.

Where are my bedrooms?

Bedrooms?

So I have a new roommate now.

Be careful back there, okay?

The draw wheel is pretty lopsided.

Where on earth does that go? Not on earth. More high. It goes this way? All

way out to here. Yes.

I was pointing.

What? He tells me what to do. He tells me why to do it. He tells me how to do

it. He tells me when to do it.

And then when I do it, he's like, what are you doing?

I'm just saying you're going to get out of the ball to get into a much bigger

ball? Yes, we're sleeping.

Why? You don't even use a bed.

You don't have the, like, Hellraiser thing that you sleep on. What do you do?

I'm being angry, stupid. How long since last sleep?

Don't talk to Armando. Yes.

Can I help you? You're doing this.

It's a lot of this.

No understand, no understand.

And then it's like, I need a word.

You know what the word is?

Bossy. I'm like one of the villains in the Superman movie. I'm just, like,

trapped in hell. Get me out of here!

If eating happens, or...

Grace looks

disgust when he eats. How do you look when you eat? It looks beautiful.

Tell me.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

He has incredible hearing.

He can see through walls.

Personal space is at a premium.

Who is Grace talking to? Question.

There's no way you can hear me right now. Can't hear. Who are you talking to?

You can hear this.

Yes, Grace, you can hear this.

Hello, Grace. He's right here. Hello, Grace Franke.

Did Grace find sampler instruction?

Yes, I found the sampler instruction.

Yes, I found the sampler instruction.

He's really smart about something.

Oh, my God, he's got a gun.

Oh, this?

No, no, no.

This to screen in front, and now this to that over here.

Now Rocky can hear screen.

Please don't play with me. Oh, point over here.

Yes. Oh, okay. Now over there. Your point of being, then. But this species

doesn't know about things like relativity and radiation.

And the rest of the crew?

And mid -step there. And here?

And where did you keep the answer, Faith?

I think the radiation is what made the crew think, right?

Yes, but they probably just protected you from it.

This isn't something that you would have fixed.

But I guess together we're... You know, pretty smart.

Since we're only going to be able to intersect with the patrol line for a few

seconds, we're not going to have enough time to get a good sample. Too fast. Do

a puppet show. Too fast.

I don't want to do the puppet show. No, do a puppet show.

This is us.

Yes? Flying along. The problem is, because the solar system is constantly

moving, the patrol line is going to constantly be moving. Right? Am I still

doing it? Still on it? Yes, yes. It's showtime. So we're not going to have

to get the sample. No, no, no.

gravity to move with line.

You mean sort of like wrapped in its orbit?

Yes.

I didn't think of that. I did.

We figured out a plan. We're going to orbit the planet where Astrophage

breathes, collect a sample, figure out why it's not eating Tau Ceti.

Who is this guy talking to?

I'm not talking to anyone.

Forget it. This isn't going to work. I think we should

arrive

at Towson E.

Thank you, Mary.

Thank you, Mary.

The beach is always changing. You can go to the same spot every day. You're

always looking at a different beach.

And you climb.

Climb to the top.

He's so excited about us both getting to go home.

Pretend you're pro.

Touching the wave.

Touching the wave.

Wiping it out.

Oh,

they got it.

In three, Apollo trains him. And in seven, he trains Apollo's kid.

I say either, you say either.

No. I say neither, you say neither. No.

I like earth.

Rock.

What about you, Rock? What do you make most about home?

My mate.

Wait, what?

You've got a mate?

Yes. I mean, not that you, I mean, I'm sure, I'm... What's their name?

Name is...

I mean, I did.

But she thought I had my head in the clouds and I didn't really want to live

the real world.

She was right.

Anyway, now she's with Mark.

Rocky hate Mark.

But enough about me. You have a mate.

How long you been together?

186 .3 years.

Like the honeymoon phase.

Now I understand.

That's a joke, Rod. That's a long time. We've been together a long time.

She said she loves you, but she can't love me. But I love you.

I

won't

play window anymore.

What's going on?

Play your role. One expect.

Permission to come aboard, Captain?

You're already aboard.

Did you get your free hat?

Yeah, I kind of bought them. Oh.

You don't sing, huh?

Yeah, I do. I actually sang in a little German youth choir.

I'm very curious.

Come on.

Always wanted to be.

Talk too much.

Like right now, I didn't mean to bother you. You didn't bother

me. It is such a weird party.

Is it?

Yeah, I was singing.

Everyone's so happy.

People are hooking up, and they all know they're going to die.

Camaraderie helps us do our job, you know?

Not so much me.

It must be hard having to ask everybody to...

Yeah.

So, what do you think?

Do you think you're going to blow it off?

What, the whole thing?

Yeah.

God willing.

Just stop your crying, it's a sign of the times.

Welcome to the final show.

I hope you're wearing your best clothes.

You can't ride the door on your way to the sky.

You look pretty good down here, but you ain't really good.

I guess it could be a little more... evocative.

Yep.

Trays are live, looking both ways.

It's time go.

You know, back on Earth, if you discover something, you get to name it. You were

technically the first one here.

Yeah. The name is Medium Rough Texture Circle Planet.

Okay.

Well, if Medium Rough Texture Circle Planet was taken, we'd just have a

Maybe go with something personal.

human word for Rocky Man.

Well, that's weird.

It's either

not

reproducing or it's not leaving the planet.

What is it?

This is not just astrophage. It's bacteria,

protozoa. It's like hell on earth.

And earth.

What does this mean? Question.

If there's a whole active biosphere in the control of the mind, it seems to

reason there's a whole active biosphere on Adrian, which means...

There's life on Adrian.

No! Grace! Grace! Life!

Life is reason! Life is reason!

No, no, no!

No, no, understand!

No, understand! Grace! Grace! Life is reason for what? Life is reason!

What?

Life is reason. Life is reason.

Life is reason what? Life on Adrian is reason astrophage imbalance.

Life on Adrian makes astrophage die.

Like a predator.

Yes. That would keep the population stable.

Great. If we bring predator home, our stars not die.

Life is reason star not die.

Why didn't you just say that?

Get some kind of microbial predator on Adrian.

It'll be in the clouds where astrophage breathes.

Ted.

Oh. The problem is this ship wasn't built to go into the atmosphere.

If we get within five kilometers, we'll be ripped into a million pieces and then

we'll burn up. Game over.

Game not over. I make chains. I make long chains. I put collection device on

hand. Oh, yeah, yeah. Five kilometers of chain, sure. Garbage!

Like this chain. Look.

You can do that?

Yes. How efficient.

What's that?

Oh! Oh!

I see it!

What?

Um, uh, maybe... Below Earth, land is like fishing.

We get very close to Adrian Atmosphere and lower Collector into clouds with

change. Then grapes go on haul to reel it in. If ship not at precise angle and

speed, we die. Example!

We must fly backwards to keep proper velocities, even though Grace still has

pilot experience.

I've been practicing, haven't I?

More. No, no, no. Left. Be left. More left. More left.

It's perfect. No.

Wrong. No. Wrong way. Wrong way. Wrong angle. Bad, bad, bad. Good, good, good.

Good. Bad. Not enough. Not enough. Too much. Too much. Too much. I'm barely

pulling it. No, it's bad. Grace Rocky did. All Rocky. Plural. All.

First. Die. We die. We die.

Rocky has built.

Rocky chain spooled and ready. Grace pilot training.

Not as good.

What thing, Earth?

Hello? They can't hear you, pal. What? We're not actually talking to Earth.

Earth's too far away. You know, we just record these messages and we tell them

what we've learned and then when we're done, we'll send them all back and

approve. Why not you tell them yourself when you return home? Question.

Yeah.

This is a one -way ticket for me, pal.

What? We had enough athletes to get here, but not enough to get back.

So what happens, Grace?

Question. Oh, I got enough food to last me at least a couple years. Maybe a

couple more if I stretch it out.

So Grace died?

Question. Yeah, once we're done, I'm gonna die.

Why didn't you tell me?

It slipped my mind.

No. Grace ate Grace's gold.

I got to meet you.

I got to do all this amazing stuff.

I'm good.

I've made peace with it.

What mean? What mean make peace?

It means... I know I'm not going wrong.

I know why.

And it's okay.

Thumbs up? No. Tiny thumbs up?

No.

We got stars to sing.

Okay?

to help another.

Uh, dumb.

What's happening?

something one does by themselves oh wait i do the same would you just get in

here

how

do you know when the hug is done you just feel it oh

are you feeling it now no oh oh okay yeah

We ran the tamper simulation again this morning. Shapiro and Dubois nailed it

again. Okay. What about the others?

They'll be ready.

I expect so.

I have a great future.

Can you take the compliment, please?

No.

It's an order.

Okay. Okay.

What do you think?

pretty impressive three

days

huh yeah so

what are you gonna do for the next 20 years you got a plan

It's all good.

Any questions?

No, nothing.

30 ,000 meters out. Probe signal. Good.

Now comes the fun part.

It's a joke.

Words

of

encouragement.

Thanks.

Collector should be here soon.

Yeah. Yes.

Amaze, amaze, amaze.

Good, good, good.

Come inside the pressure collector now.

Why not moving?

No,

Grace.

Bad idea. Come inside.

We'll be there in a minute.

No, no, no, no, no. Grace will die.

You can repeat missions. You can try again later. I don't think there is

to be a laser.

Of course, of course, of course. Grace will die. No, no, no.

Good, good, good, good, good.

I have an idea. First, no crash.

Dead, not exposed.

Heal? Heal.

Thank you.

Thank you.

One nanogram of astrophage isn't enough to blow up a building.

The quartermaster gave them one milligram by mistake. That's a billion

heat energy that they're prepared for. A measuring mistake.

Healed my entire silency. It doesn't matter if we have to launch.

We missed the orbital.

window and set us back months. Yeah, but if no one's trained to do the mission,

it won't matter. Casualty projections go up exponentially if we delay. We don't

have a schedule with a replacement science doctor.

Okay, but...

I don't need an astronaut.

I need an expert in astrophage who's mission ready. I'm not ready.

I don't have any training.

Pick it up.

I'm not an astronaut.

I put the not in astronaut.

I've never done anything. I've never done a spacewalk. I can't even moonwalk.

I haven't done the whole pool thing.

No, no, no. This is just we do for the picture, for social media.

I'm not heroic in any way. I get sick on the elevator.

Perfect. There's no elevator on the ship. I cannot do this.

You're smart.

You'll figure it out.

This might be very hard for you to understand, but some people are

Some people don't rise to the challenge. You've been present for every major

scientific or strategic meeting we've had on the mission.

You're missing out an important part of the mission, which is the suicide part.

Grace, you'd be in very cool company if you don't go.

You die anyway.

Yeah, but I die in 30 years with... With the rest of us.

You have no immediate family. You don't even have a dog.

So, just so I'm clear, you're asking me right now to

give up my life.

I am. We all are.

Can I think about this?

Yes ma 'am.

I want you to wake up.

But... You gotta wake up.

I'm not sure what to do.

There's not anything I can think of.

Maybe they might eat my head.

Right now I'm calling it Tau Meba.

And I'm sure that when you wake up you'll have a lot to say about why

bad name. It's just an amoeba from Tau Ceti and we're putting Tau in front of

amoeba. But I would argue there's an elegance to that, a simplicity.

Let's not fight about it now. Let's just, we'll table it and we'll... I did

test of different atmospheric variables and fun fact, every time I introduced

nitrogen, it died.

And I know you're thinking, well, that's terrible because that's a problem

because we needed to survive in the conditions of Venus.

Obviously, I had to figure out how to breed a new strain of nitrogen

amoeba.

And guess what I used?

The breeder tanks that we made with your xenonite.

And you know what?

Now we're just a couple of very cool dudes with their very own strain of

nitrogen -resistant amoeba.

Really all we have to do now is read enough to survive the trip and you gotta

wake up because I don't know how to get your half of the tummy to air it.

So, no pressure.

But we did make a deal.

She didn't, uh, she didn't know.

She didn't see it.

No, if yet.

Amaze, amaze, amaze.

Rocky breeder tank design.

Good job, Rocky. We can go home.

Statement.

I'll do it. Good, good, good.

So what we do now?

Quit.

Party.

Wow.

I get special clothing for celebration.

You're making me think that I have to, uh... What?

Stop my game.

What is this? You don't mind?

Rocky, Rocky gets... There you go.

Yeah, good.

I guess.

Not much. A little something.

Very own laptop.

My portable earth -making machine! With all human knowledge.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. And just one more thing.

Yes?

Rocky can't forget.

Thank you.

In the end, you can't erase it, and you can't replace it.

Here I am, my friend.

My place is in the classroom.

Stop pretending this is about your students. It's so insulting.

Grace, we will lose a quarter of the world's population in the next 40

years.

And that assumes that the nations of the world work together to ration food.

I understand these things.

I do.

But I don't have it in me.

My mind is made up.

I'm sorry, but, uh... You talked me into it.

I'm not trying to talk you into anything.

I am... trying to make you understand what I'm

about to do next.

Mission Sand will say that we induced your coma early to maximize your safety.

You will be remembered as a hero.

Come on.

I have to do this. Come on.

What are you doing?

This may seem like me betraying you, but it's actually me believing in you. You

feel like you're betraying me.

Don't make this harder, please. Come on.

Let's keep trying.

Sit down and be quiet, please.

Buh!

Oh, yeah, yeah, they're working great.

Oh, good.

Happy, happy, happy.

Well... My friend.

Yes, friend.

Not so excited, so...

to watch you sleep?

Yeah.

You are very brave.

Oh, I don't know about that.

You are the bravest human I have ever met.

Hey. It's a joke. I know.

I only meet one human, and it's you.

I get it.

It's a good joke.

It's a good joke.

All right.

Well... Bye.

No understand word.

And, uh... See you later.

But I won't see you later.

I know.

How do you say goodbye back home?

We don't.

We do this.

They tell me if I can get through it.

Probably because we brought it in the Xenonite breeder tanks. It evolved to

escape it.

I was able to stop it before it ate all the astrophysia on the ship.

Rocky's ship is built of Xenonite.

They tell me if it will already be in its fuel lines.

It won't be able to find the leak because the leak is the ship itself.

It'll be without any fuel.

It's stranded.

His life support systems will fail.

And if that doesn't kill him, the radiation sickness will.

He's looking at a long, slow, painful death.

I can't do both.

I can go home.

Or I can save Rocky.

I've sent you detailed logs of all of our findings and enough Tau Miba for you

to start your very own Tau Miba farm.

At least I never have to hear you say, I told you so.

Even though you're on my life.

On and day.

You and me Sunday drive day. Not a bright day. On.

Thank you.

isn't

Rocky from Paris.

I am not Rocky from movie. No, no, no, no. I'm pretty sure they know that.

I left you detailed logs of all of our findings.

And I threw in a little something else just for fun.

Hopefully it all makes sense.

And if not, here's Mark.

You'll figure it out.

This is Dr.

Captain Rylan Grace reporting from Hail Mary.

As the Orillians say.

Why do I always have to be so early?

Yeah, I know.

And I exhort you.

Oh, yeah.

Hey.

Why? I thought this was a safe game.

Okay.

Armando likes the fresh air.

Can we talk about the water temperature a little bit?

It's amazing, just that you've done it at all.

Very cold.

And before, it was boiling.

Is there an in -between?

Please tell the biodome illumination team that it's perfect now.

Oh no, this is... You know I'm a sucker for the fog.

Can I think about it?

Everyone take their seats.

Wake up.

Who can tell me to see the light?
