PREVIOUSLY ON THE OUTER LIMITES...

TELL ME WHO KNOWS WHAT AN INTRON IS?

INTRONS ARE THE EXTRA GENETIC MATERIAL IN OUR DNA

THAT HAVEN'T BEEN MAPPED

BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEEM TO CODE FOR ANYTHING.

I HAVE DEVELOPED A RETRO-VIRAL ACTIVATOR

THAT ACTIVATES INTRONS.

I HAVE IN MY HAND THE KEY TO OUR FUTURE SELVES.

YOU'RE SURE ABOUT YOUR GENETIC TEST?

TREMORS WILL TAKE OVER.

A FEW YEARS AFTER THAT, MY LIVER'S GOING TO GO.

YOU'VE SPENT THE PAST 20 YEARS MAKING OBSCURE DISCOVERIES

THAT WILL NOT CHANGE THE WORLD.

THAT'S NICE.

YOU MISSED OUT, DAD.

YOU'RE MISSING LIFE'S GREAT ADVENTURE.

IT IS PASSING YOU BY.

I'M EVOLVING.

THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING.

AS YOU KNOW, THERE ARE ONLY EIGHT PEOPLE

THAT I'M CHOOSING FOR THE RESEARCH.

THERE ARE VERY SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR THIS STUDY.

I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE ALL OF YOU.

I HOPE I HAVEN'T KEPT YOU WAITING TOO LONG.

THIS IS MY SON PAUL.

THIS IS HIS GIRLFRIEND HOPE.

WHAT IS IT?

I WAS HOPING YOU'D TELL ME, DOCTOR.

DAD!

GET BACK!

DAD! DAD!

YOU'RE THE FINAL RESULT OF OUR GREAT EXPERIMENT IN HOPE.

WE SEEDED YOUR PLANET WITH OUR OWN GENETIC MATERIAL

TO CONTINUE OUR RACE IN YOU.

WE KNEW WHEN YOU REACHED

THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE,

YOU WOULD ACTIVATE THE REMAINDER OF OUR EXPERIMENT

IN YOUR OWN DNA.

THAT IN TURN WOULD LEAD YOU TO THIS CRAFT.

AT THAT TIME, YOU WOULD RETURN, REPORT TO US,

TELL US OF YOUR WORLD AS IT EVOLVED,

WITHOUT OUR INTERFERENCE.

IF YOU HAVE DONE AS WE INTENDED,

THIS SHOULD BE THE ONE WHO HAS TRANSFORMED AND EIGHT MORE,

GOOD EXAMPLES OF WHAT OUR SEED HAS WROUGHT,

YOUNG AND HEALTHY ENOUGH TO WITHSTAND THE JOURNEY,

USING THIS VESSEL THAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU NOW.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING YOU BACK HOME.

THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS.

THEY COULD HAVE LEFT THAT MESSAGE

AS MUCH AS 60 MILLION YEARS AGO.

THEY COULD BE DEAD OR GONE.

THEY COULD HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE EXPERIMENT.

NOW I INTEND TO GO.

BUT I CAN'T EXPECT ANY OF YOU TO JOIN ME.

THAT DECISION HAS TO BE ENTIRELY YOURS.

WHEN DO WE GO?

AND NOW THE STORY CONTINUES.

PAUL?

IT'S OKAY!

MY DAD KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING.

WELL, AH...

THAT WAS QUITE REFRESHING.

THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.

I CAN'T BELIEVE WE MADE IT. WE HAVEN'T YET.

ALL RIGHT, SETTLE DOWN.

WE ARE NOT THROUGH YET.

DR. NODEL, CAN YOU

TELL US WHERE WE'RE GOING?

DO YOU KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING?

THE FIRST PERSON WHO SAYS,

"ARE WE THERE YET?" GETS TO WALK HOME.

PAY ATTENTION.

THIS ADVENTURE IS JUST BEGINNING.

EONS AGO,

THE ANCESTORS OF OUR RACE

FORESAW...

DAD.

A GREAT DANGER.

DAD, WHAT'S THE MATTER?

I CANNOT, PAUL, I CAN'T...

MY BODY... I CAN'T LET GO!

DAD! PAUL!

PAUL!

AH! NO!

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.

THROUGHOUT THE AGES,

HUMANS HAVE LOOKED TO THE HEAVENS AND WONDERED

WHERE DID WE COME FROM AND WHERE ARE WE GOING?

BUT WILL WE FIND THOSE ANSWERS IN THE STARS

OR IN OURSELVES?

WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON HERE?

THEY'RE GONE.

I KNEW THIS WAS A MISTAKE.

HOPE, IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY.

LET IT GO, JUST LET IT GO.

IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY.

HOPE, PLEASE JUST SAY SOMETHING.

WE ARE SCREWED!

WE MUST HAVE BEEN CRAZY, JUMPING INTO

A 60-MILLION-YEAR-OLD SPACESHIP LIKE IT WAS A SCHOOL BUS!

LIKE IT'S A FIELD TRIP!

KIRBY, SHUT UP. WHAT WILL WE DO?

I SAID SHUT UP!

GUYS, WE HAVE COME TOO FAR TO LET THIS FALL APART NOW.

DR. NODEL WAS THE ONLY ONE

WHO KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON.

WE CAN'T CONTROL THE SHIP WITHOUT HIM.

WE DON'T HAVE TO CONTROL IT.

THE SHIP IS PROGRAMMED TO TAKE US

TO THE ALIENS' HOME PLANET.

WE JUST SIT BACK...

THEN WHAT? ENJOY THE RIDE?

LOOK WHERE THAT GOT HIM.

LOOK, DR. NODEL KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING.

HE KNEW THAT TOUCHING THAT THING

WAS GOING TO KILL HIM?

OH, GOD! OH, NO!

WE'RE BREAKING APART!

WHAT WAS THAT?

THE WALLS.

THEY'RE MOVING.

WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?

WHAT IS THAT?

MY GOD, THIS IS INCREDIBLE.

THAT'S AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

THE SHIP OPENED UP FOR A REASON.

WE MUST FIGURE OUT WHY. DEFINITELY.

ARE YOU CRAZY? YOU SAW WHAT HAPPENED TO DR. NODEL.

THIS IS AN OLD SHIP.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM

MIGHT HAVE BEEN A MALFUNCTION.

MALFUNCTION? THE SHIP MURDERED THEM.

YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.

MAYBE NOT, BUT WHAT IF SHE'S RIGHT?

THAT'S THE LAST PLACE WE SHOULD GO.

I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THE ALIENS

WOULD GET US ONTO THE SHIP JUST TO KILL US OFF

ONCE WE GOT IN HERE.

DR. NODEL WAS TRYING

TO UNCOVER THE ORIGINS OF THE HUMAN RACE.

HE CHOSE US TO JOIN HIM.

HE GAVE HIS LIFE

TRYING TO COMPLETE OUR MISSION.

SO DID HIS SON.

THE LEAST WE COULD DO

TO HONOR THEM IS PICK IT UP FROM WHERE THEY LEFT OFF.

YEAH.

I'M IN.

OKAY. ME TOO.

GOOD.

OKAY, LOOK, WE DON'T KNOW

HOW LONG THIS FLIGHT'S GOING TO LAST.

WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AS WE CAN.

WE'LL MAP IT OUT.

GET YOUR NOTEBOOKS AND PENS.

LOOK OUT FOR WHAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE

A FLIGHT CONTROL PANEL

OR FOOD AND WATER SUPPLIES.

HOPE.

PLEASE COME WITH US.

I CAN'T.

IT'S OKAY, SARAH.

YOU CAN STAY HERE, HOPE.

SHE WON'T BE MUCH HELP TO US IN THAT CONDITION ANYWAY.

JUST GO AHEAD AND GET YOUR STUFF.

OKAY, EVERYBODY PAIR UP.

EACH TEAM TAKE A DIFFERENT SECTION,

AND WE'LL MEET BACK HERE IN EXACTLY...

20 MINUTES.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IT'S MADE OF?

WELL, IT'S NOT QUITE THE SAME AS THE SHIP'S EXTERIOR,

BUT IF I HAD TO TAKE A GUESS... I'D SAY IT WAS

SOME SORT OF METALLIC CRYSTAL.

WHICH GROWS AND CHANGES WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE IT.

YOU KNOW, THE MORE I SEE OF IT,

THE LESS THIS PLACE FEELS LIKE A SPACESHIP.

IT'S MORE LIKE A LIVING THING.

YEAH.

A THING WE HAPPEN TO BE INSIDE OF.

ALL RIGHT.

COME ON.

THEY KIND OF LOOK LIKE

THE SYMBOL ON DR. NODEL'S HAND.

YEAH, BUT THE ARRANGEMENT'S DIFFERENT...

WELL, DON'T TOUCH IT!

I WASN'T PLANNING TO.

SORRY.

IT COULD BE SOME FORM OF WRITING

LIKE HIEROGLYPHICS.

IS IT JUST ME,

OR DO HIEROGLYPHICS REMIND YOU OF TOMBS?

WE, UM... BETTER KEEP MOVING.

YEAH.

DESPITE INITIAL EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY,

IT APPEARS THAT MY GENETIC FLAW WAS NOT CURED AFTER ALL.

THE SYMPTOMS OF WILSON'S DISEASE HAVE RECURRED,

AND THE PROGRESSION IS ACCELERATING RAPIDLY.

MY IMMUNE SYSTEM HAS BEEN SEVERELY COMPROMISED.

AND AT THIS RATE, I EXPECT TO BE DEAD WITHIN A FEW WEEKS.

HOW WILL I SETTLE THINGS WITH PAUL

WITH SO LITTLE TIME LEFT?

HOPE.

HOPE.

HOPE.

HOPE.

HOPE.

YOU MUST LISTEN.

DR. NODEL?

HOPE.

PAUL?

IT CAN'T BE YOU.

YOU MUST LISTEN.

YOU MUST PREPARE.

WHAT WAS THAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

IT SOUNDS LIKE THE SHIP'S ENGINES.

OH, GOD.

HEY, HEY, EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE...

DON'T SAY IT... THAT'S ALWAYS WHEN THINGS GO BAD.

OKAY.

OH, GOD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

COME ON. COME ON!

OH, NO!

HELP! HELP!

HELP! SOMEBODY!

SOMEBODY!

SOMEBODY HELP US!

NO!

HOPE?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

IT STARTED GLOWING...

LIKE IT SUDDENLY TURNED ON.

WHY? WHAT HAPPENED?

I'M... I'M NOT SURE.

I THINK YOU SHOULD LOOK AT THAT.

I THINK IT EXPLAINS A LOT.

YOU GUYS ARE LATE.

IT'S A BIG SHIP.

WHAT IS THAT?

DR. NODEL'S LAB NOTEBOOK.

I FOUND IT IN HIS COAT.

ACCORDING TO THAT, HE WAS VERY SICK.

HE WAS DYING.

MAYBE THAT'S WHY HE COULDN'T

WITHSTAND THE STRAIN OF INTERFACING WITH THE SHIP.

THAT DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED TO PAUL.

DR. NODEL'S DISEASE WAS GENETIC, HEREDITARY.

MAYBE HE PASSED THOSE GENES ALONG.

SO EVEN THOUGH PAUL WASN'T SICK YET,

WHEN HE TOUCHED HIS FATHER

AND THE SHIP, IT HAD THE SAME EFFECT.

AREN'T YOU A LITTLE OUT OF YOUR FIELD OF EXPERTISE HERE?

WHERE'S SARAH?

AND ANTHONY?

THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE BY NOW.

ANTHONY!

ANTHONY!

SARAH!

CAN YOU HEAR ME?!

IT'S ALL RIGHT, WE'LL GO FIND THEM.

BUT FROM NOW ON, WE STICK TOGETHER.

ANTHONY? ANTHONY?

ANTHONY? SARAH?

SARAH? ANTHONY?

OH, IT'S ANOTHER DEAD END. DAMN IT.

THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

THIS PLACE IS SO DISORIENTING.

IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET YOUR BEARINGS.

IT'S NOT LIKE

THEY COULD JUST GET OFF SOMEWHERE.

LET ME CHECK MY MAP.

WE MUST HAVE MISSED SOMETHING.

ALL RIGHT...

HOPE.

YOU MUST UNDERSTAND NOW IS THE TIME.

WHAT ARE YOU?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

IT IS THE TIME.

GET AWAY FROM ME.

CLAIR! KIRBY! LOOK OUT!

SOMETHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

WHAT THE...?

MOVE!

GET US OUT OF HERE!

OH GOD, THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING.

I'M OKAY, COME ON.

CHECK THE WALLS! A HANDLE! ANYTHING!

COME ON, YOU GUYS! HURRY!

THE LIGHT'S CHANGING IN HERE.

OH, MAN.

TRY AND SLIDE IT.

COME ON, BEN.

MY GOD, WHAT IS THAT?

HURRY!

GET US OUT OF HERE!

THAT'S DOING SOMETHING.

I THINK IT'S SHORTING OUT.

KEEP GOING!

PLEASE HURRY! HURRY!

HURRY! IT'S CHANGING!

PLEASE!

HURRY!

HANG ON!

GUYS?!

ARE YOU OKAY?

ARE YOU OKAY?!

SAY SOMETHING!

WHERE'S CLAIR AND KIRBY?

CLAIR?! KIRBY?!

CAN YOU HEAR ME?

OKAY, LET'S GET HER OUT OF HERE.

THE SHIP, IT JUST...

IT JUST OPENED UP.

TOOK THEM.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT TOOK THEM?

IT TOOK THEM.

SOMETHING CAME THROUGH THE WALL...

FAST.

SOMETHING MECHANICAL.

I ONLY GOT A GLIMPSE OF IT.

DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY PLEASE,

BUT WHY DIDN'T IT TAKE YOU TOO?

YOU KNOW...

FIRST WE LOST DR. NODEL AND PAUL.

AND THEN ANTHONY AND SARAH.

AND NOW KIRBY AND CLAIR.

MAYBE THE SHIP IS DESIGNED TO TAKE

TWO PEOPLE AT A TIME.

IF YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THIS,

THIS SHIP IS ONE BIG TRAP...

AND WE'RE ON A ONE-WAY TRIP.

HOPE.

TRY TO LISTEN.

TRY TO HEAR.

HOPE?

TRY TO UNDERSTAND.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I...

I'M NOT SURE. MY GOD.

THAT LOOKS LIKE THE MARK ON DR. NODEL'S HAND.

HOW THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN?

WHEN I FOUND DR. NODEL'S LAB NOTEBOOK,

I WAS NEAR THE POST.

AND I DON'T EXACTLY KNOW WHY,

BUT I REACHED OUT TO TOUCH IT.

AND SOMETHING HIT ME.

IT WAS LIKE

AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

THEN I STARTED HEARING THINGS,

VOICES...

THAT KEEP DRAWING ME HERE.

AND I KEEP SEEING IMAGES.

THEY LOOK LIKE PAUL SOMETIMES

AND DR. NODEL AND...

AND WHAT?

SOMETHING ALIEN.

I THINK THE SHIP CREATED THESE IMAGES

WHEN IT CONSUMED THEM,

A FUSION OF EACH PERSON'S CONSCIOUSNESS,

MAYBE EVEN MELDED WITH THE SHIP ITSELF.

THIS IS CRAZY.

YOU'RE SAYING THIS SHIP IS TRYING TO CONTROL YOU?

NO, NO.

I THINK THE SHIP IS TRYING TO HELP ME.

THE ALIENS DESIGNED THIS SHIP

TO TALK THROUGH A PERSON GENETICALLY ALTERED

WHO COULD BECOME AN INTERFACE.

THIS IS JUST THE POINT OF CONNECTION

WHEN DR. NODEL DIED,

THE SHIP HAD NO WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH US.

YOU THINK THAT'S WHY THE SHIP CHANGED YOUR HAND?

YES.

AND NOW YOU WANT TO TALK BACK?

IF I CAN.

THIS STRUCTURE ISN'T THE SAME AS DR. NODEL'S.

IT'S NOT FULLY FORMED.

IT MAY NOT WORK.

MAYBE NOT, BUT I DON'T SEE OTHER OPTIONS.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S JUST SAY

YOU CAN COMMUNICATE WITH THE SHIP.

THEN WHAT?

I'LL ASK IT WHAT IT'S DONE WITH THE OTHERS AND WHY.

AT THE FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE,

WE'RE PULLING YOU OFF.

HOPE? NO! IT'S ALL RIGHT.

IT'S WORKING.

I CAN SENSE...

SOME KIND OF MEMORY BANK...

LIKE A LIBRARY.

I'M GOING TO TRY AND ACCESS IT.

SO MUCH INFORMATION.

SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE!

IT'S INCREDIBLE!

LOOKS LIKE THE SPHINX.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? ALIENS BUILT IT?

I'M ACCESSING THE SHIP.

I'VE GOT IT.

JUST, JUST A LITTLE... BIT LONGER.

I CAN SEE THEM!

HOPE?

YOU ALL RIGHT?

DID YOU SEE THAT? IT WAS THE OTHERS.

BUT I COULDN'T TELL WHERE THEY WERE.

THERE'S A NETWORK OF TUNNELS

THAT RUN BEHIND THE MAIN CORRIDORS.

THEY ALL SEEM TO CONVERGE ON A CENTRAL CHAMBER.

I THINK THAT'S THE PLACE.

WE HAVE TO TRY AND GET THEM BACK.

IF WE CUT THROUGH THE CORRIDOR WALLS AND INTO THOSE TUNNELS,

WE MIGHT FIND THEM.

NO, WAIT...

WE CAN'T WAIT. IT MIGHT BE TOO LATE.

WE DON'T KNOW ENOUGH.

THE SHIP'S BEEN GRABBING US FOR GOD KNOWS WHAT REASON.

WE MUST STOP IT BEFORE WE'RE NEXT.

I NEARLY GOT IT TO SHORT OUT BEFORE,

SO JUST KEEP AT IT.

DO YOU REALLY THINK THEY'RE STILL ALIVE?

THESE SYMBOLS...

THEY'RE ALL OVER THE PLACE

AND IN DIFFERENT PATTERNS.

MAYBE THEY'RE DIFFERENT TYPES OF INTERFACES.

WHOA.

WELL, WE'RE IN.

ALL RIGHT, WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

BE CAREFUL.

CAN YOU SEE ANYTHING?

NO, JUST MORE OF THE SAME.

WELL, MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST FIND ANOTHER WAY IN.

WAIT A SEC, WAIT A SEC.

THERE'S SOMETHING AHEAD. HOW ARE YOU DOING?

I THINK BEN FOUND SOMETHING!

BEN!

GET OUT OF THERE! SOMETHING'S GOING ON!

I THINK THIS IS IT.

HEATHER! HOLD ON A SECOND.

THOSE SYMBOLS, THEY'RE SOME KIND OF TIMER.

I THINK HOPE'S SAYING SOMETHING.

I CAN SEE...

GO BACK! BEN!

GET OUT OF THERE NOW!

BEN!

HOPE.

IT IS THE PLAN.

YOU'RE LYING.

LET THE OTHERS GO.

YOU MUST PREPARE.

FOR WHAT?

YOU MUST PREPARE....

TO SAVE YOURSELVES.

HOPE?

ARE YOU OKAY?

I DON'T KNOW.

DOES ANYBODY REMEMBER ANYTHING?

IT FELT LIKE

WE WERE OUT FOR HOURS.

MAYBE EVEN DAYS.

IT FELT LONGER THAN THAT.

YEAH, MY WATCH STOPPED.

THE BATTERY'S SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD FOR A YEAR.

YEAH, I... REMEMBER RESTRAINTS,

LIKE WE WERE PART OF THE SHIP.

WE WERE ALL RESTRAINED.

THE SHIP WAS DOING THINGS TO US,

SURGICAL THINGS.

WHY DON'T WE ALL

JUST COME OUT AND SAY IT?

I'VE GOT MARKS. WE ALL DO.

WE WERE BEING EXPERIMENTED ON.

WE WEREN'T HURT. AS FAR AS WE CAN TELL,

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SHIP DID TO US.

BEFORE WE LAUNCHED,

DR. NODEL TOLD US THE ALIENS WANTED TO TAKE US

TO THEIR HOME PLANET TO SEE HOW WE EVOLVED.

THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE TRYING TO DO.

BEFORE I WAS TAKEN,

THE LAST THING THE SHIP TOLD ME WAS THAT

THEY WERE TRYING TO SAVE US.

THE SHIP WOULDN'T HARM US.

HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT AFTER WHAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH?

LET ME INTERFACE AGAIN.

LOOK AT THE MARK ON MY HAND.

IT'S GROWN.

THIS TIME I'LL BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT...

EVERY TIME YOU GO NEAR THAT INTERFACE,

SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS.

HOPE, THE SHIP IS CONTROLLING YOU.

IT'S USING YOU.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

YES, I DO. WE BLEW IT, ALL OF US.

WE THREW OUR LIVES AWAY

WHEN WE FOLLOWED DR. NODEL

INTO THIS GODDAMNED SHIP.

HOPE.

LET GO OF ME!

NO MORE, HOPE.

THAT'S IT.

FORGET IT, HOPE.

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

THE SHIP'S CHANGING AGAIN.

NO, IT SOUNDS DIFFERENT.

I THINK IT'S WIND.

WE'RE LANDING.

EVERYBODY BACK TO YOUR LAUNCH POSITIONS NOW!

WE MADE IT.

YEAH, WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT.

WE'RE REALLY HERE.

I DON'T SEE ANY SIGNS OF LIFE.

ME NEITHER.

WE CAME ALL THIS WAY.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THE ALIENS AREN'T HERE.

YEAH, YOU'D THINK THEY'D AT LEAST

SEND OUT A WELCOMING COMMITTEE.

SO WHAT DO WE DO NOW?

WE'RE GOING TO WAIT RIGHT HERE.

WHY?

AFTER WE FIND FOOD, WE'LL NEED SHELTER.

THE SHIP IS PERFECT.

IT'S PRACTICALLY INDESTRUCTIBLE.

IF WORSE COMES TO WORSE, WE CAN DEFEND OURSELVES IN IT.

DEFEND OURSELVES?

WE'RE LUCKY THE ALIENS AREN'T HERE.

SO FAR WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING

ACCORDING TO A PLAN MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD,

JERKING US AROUND LIKE PUPPETS.

IF THEY WANT US,

THEY CAN COME GET US.

THEY OBVIOUSLY HAD THE TECHNOLOGY

TO GET OFF THE PLANET.

MAYBE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID.

WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING,

AND WE'RE NOT GOING

TO LEARN ANYTHING BY STAYING HERE.

I TOLD YOU, I DON'T THINK THE SHIP

OR THE ALIENS INTENDED TO HARM US.

THE FACT THAT WE'RE STILL HERE AND STILL ALIVE

SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO PROVE THAT.

YOU WANT TO FIND THEM?

I JUST WANT SOME ANSWERS.

I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE

A BETTER VANTAGE POINT FROM UP HERE.

OH, MY GOD.

WE'RE HOME.

I CAN'T SAY HOW RECENTLY

THIS THING WAS DISCARDED BUT...

IT'S LIKE WE'VE COME ABOUT 250 YEARS INTO THE FUTURE.

WELL, IF THIS IS EARTH,

THEN WHERE IS EVERYBODY?

WE HAVEN'T SEEN A SINGLE SIGN OF LIFE SINCE WE GOT HERE.

THE SHIP MUST HAVE KEPT US

IN SOME TYPE OF SUSPENDED ANIMATION.

THAT, OR WE JUST WENT

IN ONE BIG CIRCLE AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT.

MAYBE THERE WAS A WAR.

THAT DID ALL THIS?

IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

I MEAN, WE GOT ONTO AN ALIEN SHIP.

WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE GOING TO THEIR HOME PLANET.

WELL, MAYBE THE ALIENS' HOME PLANET IS EARTH.

THAT WOULD EXPLAIN ALL THE IMAGES

OF ANCIENT HUMAN HISTORY.

REMEMBER THE SPHINX?

YOU'RE SUGGESTING THAT AN ADVANCED CIVILIZATION

LIVED HERE AND DIED OFF

EONS AGO WITHOUT LEAVING A TRACE?

THEY DID LEAVE THE SHIP.

WHAT IS THIS?

THAT... THAT CAN'T BE HUMAN.

NO, I THINK IT IS.

LOOKS LIKE

ITS BONE STRUCTURE WAS MODIFIED.

THOSE ARE WINGS.

ANGELS DON'T HAVE SKELETONS.

NO, BUT HUMANS DO.

IT COULD BE SOME KIND OF MUTATION

OR GENETIC ENGINEERING.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

THERE'S NO WAY TO TELL.

HOPE?

HOPE, WHAT'S WRONG?

"IN TESTAMENT TO THE PRIDE AND VANITY OF OUR SPECIES,

"WE BELIEVED

WE COULD CONTROL NATURE."

THERE'S ANOTHER INSCRIPTION.

THERE WAS SOME KIND OF AN OUTBREAK,

BROUGHT ON BY RAMPANT GENETIC ENGINEERING,

DNA-DESTROYING VIRUS THAT RENDERED

VIRTUALLY THE ENTIRE HUMAN POPULATION INFERTILE.

THE HUMAN RACE?

THE WHOLE SPECIES JUST DIED OUT

ONE BY ONE.

MAYBE WE COULD START AGAIN.

START WHAT? THE WORLD?

THERE'S ONLY SEVEN OF US.

WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH

GENETIC DIVERSITY TO REPOPULATE.

WE'RE GOING TO DIE HERE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

NO, I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT.

WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE SHIP.

ARE YOU CRAZY?

THE SHIP DID THIS TO US.

IT BROUGHT US HERE. I'M NOT GOING BACK.

LOOK.

THIS TIME IT'S FULLY FORMED.

I CAN INTERFACE LIKE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO.

IF THIS JOURNEY'S GOING TO AMOUNT TO ANYTHING,

WE HAVE TO AT LEAST TRY AND FIND SOME ANSWERS.

IT'LL KILL YOU JUST LIKE DR. NODEL AND PAUL.

IT'S MY RISK, IT'S MY LIFE.

I WON'T LET IT END HERE,

NOT LIKE THIS.

EONS AGO,

THE ANCESTORS OF OUR RACE FORESAW GREAT DANGER.

THEY HAD ONCE LIVED ON THIS PLANET

AND NEARLY DESTROYED THEMSELVES IN A MISGUIDED EFFORT

TO GENETICALLY PERFECT THEIR SPECIES.

IN AN ATTEMPT TO PREVENT FUTURE GENERATIONS

FROM MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES,

THEY LEFT BEHIND THIS VESSEL.

IT WAS OUR FOREFATHERS' HOPE

THAT WE WOULD LEARN FROM THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST,

THAT YOU WOULD AVOID THE GENETIC CATACLYSM

WHICH NEARLY DESTROYED THEIR SPECIES AND OURS.

IT IS NOW YOUR TASK AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

TO USE THIS OPPORTUNITY WISELY.

BECAUSE OF OUR ILLNESS, WE COULD NOT BE THERE WITH YOU.

BUT OUR MINDS, OUR HOPES AND OUR DREAMS

LIVE ON INSIDE THIS VESSEL.

LET THEM NOW LIVE ON INSIDE YOU.

OH, MY GOD.

HOPE?

THE SHIP SPOKE TO ME.

IT GAVE ME

THE KNOWLEDGE OF OUR ANCIENT ANCESTORS.

AND I KNOW HOW TO USE IT.

THIS SHIP HAS LIMITLESS ENERGY.

WE'RE GOING TO REBUILD OUR WORLD.

WE WON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES AGAIN.

HOPE... THERE JUST AREN'T ENOUGH OF US.

I HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU.

OH, LOOK.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

THE SHIP USED OUR GENETIC MATERIAL

TO CREATE BABIES.

IT MODIFIED OUR DNA TO GIVE US ENOUGH GENETIC DIVERSITY

TO REPOPULATE.

WE CAN START AGAIN.

IT IS SAID THAT THOSE WHO DO NOT LEARN FROM HISTORY

ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT.

WILL WE BE WISE ENOUGH TO LEARN?
