[HARMONY] Previously, on Beacon 23...

- Sir. - Gashade? But you're dead.

You think whatever you inhaled caused it?

If you follow its path through the lobes of the brain,

it explains his hallucinations.

- [DEV] I could be your AI. - What are you doing?

You're afraid of me.

You can find an imprint out there.

I can find one here.

- Do you have a name? - Dosto.

- Our friend's on the run. - From who?

The military destroyed a system called Sybarra.

There may be other survivors.

[GASPING]

Put your weapons down!

- After we deal with Dosto. - He's one of you!

Do you know how many of us he killed?

- They're lying! - We will show you

what it means to be Sybarran.

None shall be hungry.

Okay, Mother.

I'll sleep now.

[WHOOSHING]

Humans are so cruel.

You're not Mother.

Hey!

Yeiki failed to hold this one.

- [XALTERRICA SINGS] - Before you start,

I've got earplugs, so let's try

having a conversation.

I know we got off on the wrong foot,

but we're gonna try and get you

all off of this beacon.

Together.

We'll help you strip the beacon and build a raft.

And I'll tow you to the next planet or weighpoint myself.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[WHOOSHING]

[SIGHS]

[DEV] Just relax.

Let the pharma do its work.

[WHOOSHING]

Dev.

You saved his life.

He did.

And I am forever grateful.

Surprised?

[SCOFFS] I'll, uh...

say this is an unlikely development.

And I may be impressed.

- [METAL CLANGING] - I need a plasma cutter!

[SYBARRANS SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

- Grab that panel! - I'm gonna weld it

when I'm done with it!

Hand me that wrench.

Apologies for earlier.

Bolt that to the wire.

Okay, that'll do it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,

where'd you get that?

The spare vessel has much to offer.

The Rinca?! No, no, no, that's my ship

and it can't offer you anything.

We need protection from the radiation.

And you seem perfectly happy where you are.

I have an idea.

Look out, coming through!

Behind you!

More wire, we need more wire!

[SIGHS]

Sometimes our song takes root in an unexpected way.

Really? Because I wanted to be left for dead,

and that's what you planned to do anyway.

What I mean is... when bullets rained on our home,

I wanted them to find me.

I had fought too long, too hard.

I have nothing left.

Our song can be like those bullets.

I'm sorry.

We did not know you were so lost.

Yeah. Neither did I.

Hey.

Where did you...

I see now, it belongs with you.

[IRIS] Come on, Halan, let's go!

Huh. Your Beacon Keeper urges you on.

She doesn't know any better. She's a good person.

Yeah. She's proven that.

But believe it from my words.

Take the hand she extends to you.

It will carry you through to your next chapter.

- [HARMONY WHOOSHES] - There's a ship on approach.

[BEACON CREAKS]

It's a UGMC long-range gunship, the Druta Fyx.

Meaning there's a carrier not too far away.

They've found us.

You can do something, right?

He's a soldier. He can broker a truce. Help you surrender.

Harmony, who's onboard that ship?

Their names and ranks are classified.

Where are they coming from?

The Snake Nebula

in the Ithaca-Nova system.

The only thing over there is a T-6 Colony.

Does that mean anything to you?

Can you talk to them?

They'll listen to you. You're one of them.

No. They're not here to listen to me.

This is bad for all of us.

What about the beacon's drone defense?

The beacon's programming prevents it from firing upon

any military or ISA vessels.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

What are you saying? What's... What's happening?

Come on. I thought we were past all of the secrecy.

They caught us unawares before. Never again.

[IRIS SIGHS]

[DOOR WHIRRS]

[BEEPING]

Beacon AI, present yourself.

[WHOOSHING]

System report.

The beacon has sustained significant

but non-emergent damages across all levels.

The Cupola has been rendered uninhabitable.

Can we get some lights?

[CLANGING]

Souls aboard?

None.

A lying personal AI,

that's a fun hack.

Who else is here?

The official Keeper is long gone.

See, that's not what he asked.

Section eight, article three of the ISA treaty

declares that all beacons are demilitarized zones.

Sandbox this one.

[BEEPING]

[WHOOSHING]

Found someone.

[BEEPING]

Bring them here.

They're already headed our way.

- Freeze. - Whoa. Hey. Friendly, friendly.

I'm Dosto Bix Chennault of Mu Valala.

QTA Ambassador, former ambassador to Sybarra 82.

- [WHOOSHING] - This is my associate, Dev.

- We're looking for... - They're here.

- [WEAPON WHIRRS] - Don't move.

[DOSTO SCOFFS]

They're here.

They're all here.

I saw all six of them down on the Power Level.

Six?

- [THUDDING] - Ow!

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[GADGET WHIRRING]

Ambassador Chennault would like full immunity

before he shares any more information.

Immunity for what?

Nothing, I've done nothing.

And we ask for safe passage

to a peaceful colony

in exchange for the Ambassador's full cooperation.

[STAMMERS]

Put him somewhere out of the way.

Ow!

[GRUNTING]

I never really liked him anyway.

- Firewall protocol. - What are you...

Ow!

[DOOR WHIRRS]

He's got a full package of military upgrades,

so watch your six.

[BEEPING]

Surrender now

and we spare your lives.

[LIQUID BUBBLING]

[HELMETS WHIRR]

Clear the level.

I understand you've had a hard road...

That ends now...

So long as you comply.

We're here for Halan Kai Nielsen.

Lay down your weapons.

Show yourselves.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Do not attempt to protect the fugitive.

There will be bloodshed.

[DOOR WHIRRS]

This what we're doing?

You want me to start spilling my guts?

You trained me.

I know this game.

Other kids play ball, I played psych ops with you.

My own father, torturing me. What...

Shut your mouth.

Clearly, you didn't learn a thing.

The less you speak, the better your position.

You're not trying to help me.

I came here, on my own,

no cavalry. What does that tell you?

I asked to collect you quietly.

I put everything on the line for this one favor.

I've been rotting here for months and you finally

decide to show up and act like a father?

I am here as your Commander.

Either you do what you are told,

or everyone on this beacon

will have to answer to Aleph.

Confirming that Beacon 23 is under military attack.

Urgently requesting ISA intervention.

Are you sure it's his dad?

My imprinting indicates that their relationship

was fraught, and they haven't spoken in quite some time.

Seems like he brought those soldiers here to kill him.

Well, fathers and sons can have curious relationships.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Iris.

- [WHOOSHING] - I'm an ISA Beacon Keeper.

Protected and bound by oath to oversee all events onboard.

Section 3-11 of the Pilovean agreement

states that my authority supersedes any military orders!

[TAJIRIKI GROANING IN PAIN]

Let me scan the area.

- [GROANING IN PAIN] - Come on, okay.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[SAGH�E] The door will not open.

[TAJIRIKI GROANING]

I have the visual, Lieutenant.

Take care of them.

- [TAJIRIKI GROANING] - Figure out the code.

- I'm trying. - We're almost there.

[TAJIRIKI GROANING]

Almost there. Okay.

- To the side, to the side. - [SAGH�E] Let me get through.

- [NYBECCA] Ready? - [SAGH�E] The door won't open.

No, leave them alone.

Is ISA siding with terrorists?

- [GROANING] - Okay, okay, okay.

It's not working!

Okay, okay.

- [THUDDING] - Hey, hey!

[SYBARRANS SCREAMING]

You destroyed their home and killed everyone they love.

[GASPING]

- Harmony! - The Beacon AI

only responds to me now.

[SYBARRANS SCREAMING OVER COMMS]

We'll get you out. You'll be okay.

Just relax. We got you.

- [WHISPER] Harmony? - [WHOOSHING]

I haven't left you.

It's safer if they believe that I have.

Can you run an automated shutdown of all systems?

At great risk to you and everybody on board.

The Sybarrans are safest in the Airlock.

Do it.

Understood.

The soldiers would still be able to stop

the shutdown from the mainframe.

I'll make sure that doesn't happen.

What about Halan?

Still unconscious.

I keep trying to observe, but the Lieutenant

keeps bouncing me everywhere.

They could be hurting him.

- Torturing him. - You be safe.

I'll do my best to get to Halan.

[K-CIN] Beacon AI, disengage our ship's Airbridge.

Beacon AI, disengage our ship's Airbridge.

[BEACON CREAKS]

[GAUNTLET BEEPS]

- [WHOOSHING] - [K-CIN] Did you hear me?

Withdraw the Airbridge.

I detect life forms in the Airlock.

So what?

To withdraw the Airbridge, you must first

clear the life forms from the Airlock.

You're being obtuse.

I'm sorry. I do not understand.

- Please restate your command. - I'll do it myself.

To begin a manual override,

you must first do a systems check.

Fine. Do a systems check.

I'm sorry. I didn't hear that. Please restate your command.

Start a goddamn systems check before I melt your memory core.

Automated systems check commencing.

- [LOUD THUDDING] - Command Deck. Offline.

- What? - Power level. Offline.

Storage level. Offline.

No!

[SOFT MUSIC]

I celebrated my 13th birthday out here.

It was the last one before...

It was a good one.

Bunch of kids, running amok on a dingy beach.

Doesn't seem like fun to me.

It was.

Hmm.

The adults had their own thing going on.

Mainly drinking beer.

Somehow, every kids' party turned into an adult party.

Exactly.

Which is why when...

Lemo...

spotted this rock through his spyglass...

dared me to race him to it...

it was on.

Did you win?

I didn't even make it into the water.

My father snatched me up.

Lectured me for what felt like hours on marine safety.

Always wondered what the view was like from here.

[BIRDS CALLING SOFTLY]

Is it what you hoped?

What do you want, Dad?

[GROANING IN PAIN]

- Oh, come on. - [SAGH�E] Hey.

She needs medicine.

[GASPING] Okay, okay.

- I'm okay. - The ship will have supply.

- If we can get to it. - [NYBECCA] She's dying!

Where have you been?

I was detained.

By a military firewall.

We need to leave now.

I think they're gonna offload me with

- the rest of them. - That's not going to happen.

Well, let's hear it. How are you getting me

out of here and when do we leave?

The plan is very much in place.

Trust me.

[SCOFFS] "Trust me," he says.

All you've done is lead me from captivity to captivity.

Right this way.

[DOOR WHIRRS]

You and me in a tech-less ship?

I'm only one man. You'd be useless to me.

That'd be a death sentence.

Might as well suggest I steal a military ship.

Huh.

Now there's an idea...

No. I'm no pilot.

I don't have the military clearance,

let alone the upper body strength

to command such a vessel.

But you are resourceful,

driven, cunning.

It should have been you who got that promotion

to chief foreman, not Fortnaw.

Fartnaw. Complete layabout.

[LAUGHS] Right. Not like you.

A man who gets things done.

I bet you could even convince them to help you.

Especially if we set them free...

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

You're right.

[SYBARRANS HUMMING]

But we need to work together.

You harbored three known members of the Column.

They showed up. I told them to leave.

You aided and abetted in the murder

- of Agent Coley, QTA. - Self-defense.

You gave comfort and quarter

to QTA defector Aster Calyx.

I don't wanna talk about Aster.

I don't know what happened between you and this woman.

But before you threw your life away,

you were about to lead a unit on DX-113.

I failed them.

We retrieved the diamond.

The military got what they wanted.

Then everybody died.

The only reason I'm still alive is because of the Artifact.

It brought me here.

Aster, too.

The mission to DX-113 was scrapped

before any units were deployed.

No, I abandoned it.

Okay? The pieces of the Artifact got in my brain and I left.

Everyone is dead because of me.

Gashade is dead because of me.

Lieutenant Gashade?

She wasn't Lieutenant. She was...

[BEEPS]

Connect me to transporter DZ Argon.

This Lieutenant Gashade?

What is this?

Commander Nielsen?

No. This...

this can't be possible.

Status report, Lieutenant?

We're en route to Kizala Verdir.

Three clicks north of the mining fields.

No hostiles in the area, but if any arise,

we have orders to suppress.

One more question.

Do you know this man?

No sir. Should I?

Lilya?

Yes?

You're dead.

- I-I don't... - Lieutenant.

Have you ever met...

Halan Kai Nielsen before?

No.

Thank you, Lieutenant. That'll be all.

The mission never happened.

No...

No.

We negotiated a treaty with QTA.

No!

I was there, I saw it!

I understand that you think you were there.

But you were not.

Now do you see why I'm here?

I am trying to help you.

Will you let me help you, son?

[SOFT MUSIC]

Turn this beacon back on.

I can't.

You initiated the systems check.

You're obstructing a military proceeding.

But it frees me up to go anywhere I'd like.

When I built your code,

that was me doing you a favor.

Hmm. The military has some interesting

tricks up their sleeves.

I got something wrong, though.

What's that?

I saw you had potential.

That's how I'm programmed to see people and AI.

But you're not people.

And after a few changes, you will no longer be AI.

Nothing's gone right since I've been here.

What is this?

It's an implant.

Just released for soldiers.

It can help separate what's real and what isn't.

You've been carrying all this guilt over something

that you didn't do.

Look, this implant...

is forgiveness.

I'm scared to find out...

how much of all this is a lie.

It's better to know the truth

than continue to live your life like this.
