The year is 2104.

civilization to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, establishing remote outposts. A few

elite men and women have volunteered to go to the frontier, not to rule, but to uphold the

law. These are the Space Rangers. Part peacekeepers, part Marines.

Captain Boom. Captain Boom. Have you got a minute? Can't you sign somebody else, chief? I'm not

even home yet.

Have you got any words of wisdom for our recruits here?

Well, welcome to Fort Hope. This is the frontier. So keep your solar dollars in your pockets

and your pants on until you get a lay of this place. Believe me, there's more ways than one

to lose both out here. Well, I'm sure that's Gotham inspired.

Hey, Merry Christmas. Daddy! Let's go.

What's this? Ghost from Christmas Past? You gave up on me, huh? We ran into some uninvited

raiders. Is everyone okay? Croy was out patching a freight ship. We got him back in, but he

lost the leg. It's getting worse out there, John. I hear it all the time all over the fort.

Daddy, see the Christmas tree.

Hey, you got one to grow. Actually, your mom's a genius. Sick. All the plants I'm growing

for the project, they just get sick. Sarah, you worked a miracle here.

John, when you're not here, I... I'm here. I just claimed two months leave. Starting now?

We'll work on these plans together. If I have to, I'll sleep with that tree to make it better.

Oh, no, no. You will sleep with me. Sorry to bother you, John, but we've got a bit of a

situation here. Fine. I'm free in two months. A woman risked her life to try and find you.

She crash-landed on the far side. We were lucky to get her. She'll be arriving at Medevac,

Darking Bay in 10 minutes. I think it's important, John.

Merry Christmas.

for the homesteads on Kameen. Banshees, they've tanned our transporter. We crash landed on

Scarab, only a few survived. We'll send a shuttle to pick them up. No, the second sun rises in

38 hours. They'll burn up before a shuttle can get there.

Warranty level five. He said you know what to do. We are all a necessary personnel.

You're saying you can't authorize the mission? Of course I can't authorize it. Scarab's the

most protected planet in our system. It's sacred to an entire race of our allies. Just orbiting

the place violates a treaty that took Central 50 years to negotiate. Forget Central. What

are we out here for? I trained under Decker. He's a Ranger. Ex-Ranger. I read the court

martial records. He disobeyed direct orders when he jumped into the fire zone to get you

off Ulterior. He had no right risking his crew. I was dying. He risked his own life to save

me. Aren't you the one who said, forget the manuals when you know what's right? What would

I tell Central? Tell him we're out escorting Santa Claus. They'd probably believe it.

In the old days, they wouldn't let our little friends here lose anywhere on the planet. You

sure you want to interrupt Hybrostasis? I don't think he's gonna want to miss this trip. Bit

like Zappin' and Grizzly in the winter. Don't worry, he's been working at restraining himself.

You went dormant on this island? This wasn't my idea, thank you.

The Scarabs Island. Shipwreck. I want you to come with me to Scarab. RAAAAAAAAR!

I take that as a no.

Disgrace my people if I did not accompany you. I think that's a yes. SILENCE!

He's doing much better. He left their heads out. And the grizzly wasn't even wearing his

pacifum.

You just came off a mission. Must have some soldiers in your pocket. Baby? I'll double

your bed.

Stealing from the baby. You had purpose. Sorry, I just took you for a man.

I'll give you a run out, huh?

Simply put, you get yourself a bed.

You're pretty but in about 10 seconds. Okay, buddy, let's go Your bat kiss yours goodbye

Ah! Need a lady from a... A planet with ladies, hey ladies! Howdy girl JoJo! We've been cheated!

Good, because I'm cutting your leaves short. Short? It never started. Shh. You don't want

to upset my friend.

It's alright boys, I'm just here to pick up my crew, then you can all go back to hitting

each other as much as you want. How come every time Captain Hook comes in here, my furniture

starts flying? Here, Gene, I'll keep the change. No, that's too much weight. Jojo. No way, Boon.

I wouldn't suit up for anything less than 50,000 hazard pay. This one's free. It's personal,

and it's on Scarab. Where the hell is Scarab? Scarabs are in this system. We'd love it that.

whole planet's a baracka burial ground we're taxiing out some shipwrecks survive as a banshee

attack when can the ship be ready it's gonna take at least good we brief in an hour like

I said you know how cranky he doesn't take his nap

What's this? My proving ground score, sir. Heard you were looking for a back map. Sorry kid,

I'm launching in 20 minutes. I don't have time for toilet training.

He kills in 2.5 seconds, sir. The next guy down in the class at New Annapolis was a full tenth

of a second slower. Well, the last guy I knew that was that fast blew a hole in his own wingman.

I need peacekeepers, not gunslingers.

I only came on as a hot shot. Because I heard you were a hot shot, sir. Come back when your

brain's as fast as your hands, kid. You're way too big a risk. With respect, sir! Aren't you

taking a bigger risk going out short of a full crew?

If you hop, when I say hold, I'll park your butt on an asteroid till your hair is so long

and gray you can knit with it.

I'll get your equipment and load immediately. Thanks, Captain. If we load half our usual

ammo and fuel, we can slingship the Scarab in 30 hours. That leaves us seven to pull Decker's

people out before the burn line hits them. Our return trip is gonna be Sardines packed in

sweat. Doc's half-robot. He can ride on the outside. Even I gotta breathe, you know what

I mean, boss? Still, I'm on Capitan. What kind of rock are you taking him in? There's very

little data. If anybody ever landed on Scarab, they either kept their mouth shut or didn't

live long enough to report. Can't move! Are you sure you can't take me with you on this

one? I'm afraid you'd go native on me, Memmer. There is something mind-derupting about the

girl's description of Scarab's jungle. It's gotta be pretty brawny to poke through a carbon-fiber

spacecraft. The vegetation must have an unbelievable root system, because all organic matter on

the surface gets completely scorched off every time the second sun rises. You're nice, I'll

lend you my sunblock. Well, don't worry. We'll be off-planet before the second sun's up. I'm

counting on it. I want samples.

You take it easy out there or I'll be standing in front of so many review boards I'll forget

how to sit down.

You shouldn't be here. Daddy, please don't go. She said all she wanted for Christmas was to

have a daddy home. People are counting on me, Munchkin. Orion crew proceeding to pod.

I'm sorry, John. I don't know how much longer I can just... Fuel call for Ranger Slingship

377. Sealing exterior hatches in five minutes. Alpha 10, Alpha 10, ruling hands in five minutes.

Code red launch in a quarter hour.

you both. Avalon crew is at 3rd Bound in final position. Ranger and 3rd Bound escort ready

for launch at 0500.

You gonna cook us a Christmas turkey on this hop? What was wrong with the powdered bio steak?

Too fattening for you? Tastes more like powdered dog. Nice suit, hon. Where's the parade? I

expect coffee in five minutes, doc! Beg me, JoJo, beg me! Taxi crews on standby. Ambulance

crews on standby. You lost kid? Uh, no, uh, new

backman. Disconnect two lines. Disconnect data upload. Disconnect lifelines.

The ship's kinda old. Oh!

Well, Lizzie ain't no new luxury liner kid, but she's very experienced. You see out here,

you learn to love what lasts longest. So I just started romance with her, so bad. Well, she's

the lightest and the fastest flyer in the whole system. You know, there ain't no tow trucks

a million light years out, kid. It's just my man power to fix whatever it is that breaks,

and JoJo's adult brain to steer us out of trouble, kid. Name's Daniel.

his uh last back man had his leg shot off? Yeah. Daniel, you wanna go where the fun is? You

lose a few bits and pieces.

I tried bringing a smuggler without a back man once. I took a round in the clockwork. I was

dead, frozen, like a meal pack for two months until they turned me into the Tin Man. I left

more pieces of me on more planets than I care to think about. Sam, listen. Got my leg on

Jupiter Moon. Escape each, you'd have my ear off on Contrast. Got the Clambank, let's pull.

Yes, boss.

Joe Joe's, Lizzy, ready. Just call it a the dance, boss. Doc? Like eggs in a basket, but

wanna? This is Ranger Slingship 377. Initiate final countdown. Roger, 377.

An organized timing circuit, topping off main fuel storage, and it's nitro circulation. 45

seconds to launch. Showtime, kid. O2 reserves. Fully leveled.

You're in the business of dizzy The way you rock Whoa You ready Jojo? Absolutely

Good!

Ah, the second sun. Violence of nature has a certain beauty, has it not? But there's nothing

beautiful about being burned alive, Nasir. How long until the firewall hits us? About 13 hours.

It seems your rescuers have failed you. If you'd said what the jungle was gonna do to us, we

wouldn't need rescuing, would we?

Right? Something's weird with the weight distribution. Can you stabilize on the docks? Good man, you

make me look bad. What's the matter with you? Forget how to correctly fight? You shut that

screeching off! You're driving my brain! That screeching is the classic! That's dead people's

music! Don't say that! Don't ever say that! Park it, Doc! It's too easy to break a bone

while we're stretched. JoJo, you're rattling us to pieces! I don't understand it, Chief!

Yeah... Screeching? I'll give her screeching! She doesn't want to screech it, huh? What the

hell does she know about music anyway?

I can get a balance, Captain! If we drop from live speed, we'll lose at least three hours!

Slow down! That's an order! Yes, sir! Traffic, people! Hit the brakes!

Doc, earn your pay!

Izzy, don't you love me no more? Hey, what's the matter? Can you get sick on me? You puke,

you clean it up, you get me? What? Has he never seen a crocker before? I heard those guys used

to eat people. I've never eaten a friend. He's not a close one.

Keep those gun sights hot back there. We're lining up with Banshee Hunting Lanes.

You ever rock and roll with Banshees kid? Yeah, I killed a few in computer simulations. It

ain't nothing like the real thing. You see Banshee physics is different. They move in their own

time and their own space. They come at you like hornets. Kamikaze hornets. Ten of them will

die just so one of them will get a shot at you. What do you think the Banshees are after? Who

knows? Nobody ever asked them. Listen up! We got a way to Nodalee, somewhere in the lower

port bulkhead! It's impossible!

Watch yourself, Doc. We might have picked up a banshee hitchhiker.

Come on guys, and wait.

Just move.

Gimme that! Blow a horn or shit!

Oh

I'll come down and check it. Wait it out, boy.

Hey, boss! That one looks pretty...

This is the cutest damn banshee I have ever seen. Looks like we got us a stowaway. That

survivor from Scarab. Well get her out of there. Take her to sickbay, doc. Yeah, Cap! We're

wasting time. I'd have been happier to see a Banshee. Banshee! Guns to her! We're taking

her!

I'm not faster!

Short burst! Save your arms! They're all around us!

before you get us all killed!

I like you!

I'm a new dance!

3, 2, 1!

structural damage at thruster group 2. I hope they don't come back. Wonderboy shot off half

our ammo.

There's one thing I can't stand, it's a guy who can't hold his ammunition.

What do you think? You think I don't know that?

I thought Crocker warriors wore their rings to the death. I wish it to be returned to my

kin. I have no extraordinary hopes for our survival.

through a lot together. Tell me what we're getting into here. I'm sorry. We are told it's better

to die than to give access to certain streams of our knowledge. But you've also taken the

human oath to protect life above all, old friend.

to impart must stay within us.

From the beginning, the Krakow were proud of their fierceness. Violence ran in our blood

when we let the opponents turn on each other.

A millennium ago, a Grakalon arose with darkness in him. Created a weapon like none other before

or since. A crystal that allows one to kill with a thought. In the wrong hands, a crystal

could be used to rule the universe. But our young warriors, led by our priests, rose up

and defeated the Dark Lord. On that time, we swore to wear the repressor yokes and became

warriors for peace, not only for Grokka, but for all civilizations. What's this got to do

with our survivors? The great weapon was buried along with a dark ruin on Skara. Safeguards

was put into place so that no mercy would be shown to intrude us. Even after a thousand

years? Even after a thousand. Captain, transmission coming in from Fort Hope. Did the banshees

catch you at light speed? No, they caught us slowing down for our uninvited passenger. Hmm,

somebody slipped up. I was just informed she was missing from the infirmary. John, listen.

Your way off schedule, the whole rescue's a long shot now. Even if you make it to Scarab

on time. No one would blame you for turning back. Well, it may be a long shot, but if we

turn back now, those survivors won't even have a chance. Of course, John, I knew you'd say

that.

I've switched over the tanks three and four. I think she's safe. I wouldn't bet my life

on it though. Jojo, you doing your nails again? Light speed! Yes, sir! Tighten your jaw struts,

boys!

Come quick, we found something! Hey. What? What's he saying? A step through this gate is a step

off the edge of time into everlasting darkness. Superstitious mumbo jumbo! Stand back, I'll

open it!

Decker, do you read? Decker, do you read? This is Ranger, Slingship 377, approaching scarab

orbit. Do you read? Booth, is that you? Decker, how you holding up? It's getting kind of hairy

down here, kid. I got exactly three hours and forty minutes left. Well, listen, I can't put

the pair of jets down on the rock face. We'll have to land next to your ship and move in

from there. Next to our ship? But are we taking this ship down to pick them up? It's too big

a risk. We'll locate Decker and ferry the group up in parachutes. Hang in there, Major. We're

on our way. Can you get to us? If anyone can... Hell, I trained him!

Hurry it up! I want to go with you. Don't worry, you got the best team working on this. Check

the gravity pull and log coordinates on the parachutes. Apparitions locked and ready! Hey

kid, you eat anything recently? No, why? Why do you think they call these things belly snails?

Fall out kid, you aren't going. JoJo, lock the orbit and get back here. Roger. Standard operating

procedure is wherever the unit goes, the back man goes. Listen kid, your hands are still

faster than your head. I'll stay. No sense risking a pilot in ground maneuvers. JoJo, for once

in your life, ladies first. You stay here and keep in touch with Home Base.

Where's the shipwreck? That way.

Something weird, Captain. I don't believe this ship was attacked by banshees. You're right.

Decker, this is Ranger 377 on planet. Do you read? Decker, do you read? I detect no human

or animal presence.

I'll take point.

Anybody seen Doc? Doc! DECO! That's some Martian hookies. Watch your step. You watch your step!

Everything happens to me for crying out loud. This thing... Hey, wait for me!

What?

Get him off her neck!

Shoot the ropes!

Those things nearly had me for lunch.

Decker!

The dark forces here. Are we near the Grakka burial ground? We should get double pay for

burial ground. There's still nothing, Doc. We cannot proceed without a Grakka priest.

your weapons I swear I will chop his head off all we need is a little ride out of here I

give you my word as a ranger nobody's gonna get hurt if you cooperate don't listen

The Cracker Priest. I'm sworn to obey him. Decker, you'll never get away with this! Oh yes I will.

Oh yes I will.

Well, well, well. Now you know how it feels to have a fellow officer betray you. I wouldn't

be captain for what you do, Decker. Why would I betray you? You shut up and you listen. Now,

I gave my heart and my soul to the Rangers. I gave them everything I had. And when the

Slave Runners shot you down on Altairian, who was it that came and got you? Who got you out?

So why didn't you tell him that at the court, Marshal, that you're the one who called me

in? Because it was a lie! You saved my life. But you sacrificed six of your own men. For

some imagined glory, not for me. I owe those men the truth.

Well, if it's not Saint Boone the Righteous... You forget, my friend, I know you too well.

And I knew it this time when I sent the damsel in distress with a sob story. You'd come running

and boy you came running, didn't you? Sorry I spoiled your Christmas. Well, open the door,

open it! No!

I guide this Grokka, Priest. Yeah, great. Our Grokka just folded like a stuffed panda. FESTIV!

I sure as hell...

that we all die then to

He made the pure of heart. Well, there's no need to waste any more of my men. Him! I want

him out! Say boom, come. I'll go, I ain't got no- No, Doc, you don't know what they think

you're doing, Doc. NO!

I think you'll enjoy this performance.

See man, what do I do? Clear your mind. That should be easy.

Try this sometime, it really has a tingle, George.

Get the captain. You! Come on! And we'll learn to know this! Enough!

Boom, boom, look, look! The ultimate in technology. Physics beyond physics, weapons beyond any

weapon. The man who possesses this... ..can control the universe.

or destroy with a fart.

Now we're really in trouble.

Leave it alone, Dicker. Don't do this.

You stop being someone I obey when you open the tomb. Die!

Okay, okay!

I'll see to it you get a fair trial. You think I'm gonna let Ranger Command take me down again?

You kill me first! Kill me! I have traveled half the universe to get here! And I'm not

leaving till I get what I came for!

NOOOOOO

My phone! I'm speaking of you, Boon!

Sunblock ready?

Hello?

What are you doing with my tree? What's the matter? You're leaving anyway. But you're killing

it, John. No, I'm giving it a plan at the hold-down, too. It needs to dig a little deeper for what

it needs, Sarah. Just like us. Since when did you get to be so poetic?

When I was out there.

is get home to you and Roxy.

I don't have the right words.

Words either, John Boone. Boone! Captain Boone!

It's Silas! Forget it, Doc. He's gone at the MIMR. He did what? Silas! Where's MIMR?

You guys gotta try this.
