1
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: Ah, have you anything to report? Yes, your majesty, I

2
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: regret to inform you that about two hours ago we

3
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: lost contact with quaz Our one's neural microchip. We can

4
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 1: only assume that the chip and quaiz Our one with

5
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: it we're destroyed. May we also assume that her mission

6
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: was a success. With all due respect, I avoid making

7
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: any assumption. Rather than, as Suley's be kind to me,

8
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: said Bratron, rather than assume, we will send the probe

9
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: to see if quaz Our one was successful. The cold

10
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: dead planet should now be alive. In fact, it will

11
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: be quite something to see. Remember, a partial extinction occurred

12
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: two hundred fifty years ago. Since it was not near total,

13
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: the surviving species should be thriving, especially now that there

14
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: are fewer predators, well different predators. Mm hmm. This could

15
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: allow for a significant evolutionary surge within twenty million years.

16
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: We might be inferred we won't be around to witness it.

17
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: We could be explain. The probe we send will take

18
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: soil samples and atmospheric meetings. We have often discussed ending

19
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: the Nightingales mission once we find a planet that is

20
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: properly habitable, wouldn't it be fitting for us to establish

21
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: economy on the planet that Quasar one herself restored Extron

22
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: rather than send an unwomanned probe. Is there any reason

23
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: why we couldn't send a piloted capsule mm hmm. It

24
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: seems unnecessary use of our resources without first let me

25
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: rephrase that Zebtron prepare a piloted capsule. I'm going to

26
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: examine Helio's three. You you, your highness, will you defy me?

27
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: You general quagmire or old people, Your majesty, I only

28
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: she was my daughter. I wish to visit her grave

29
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: and see with my own eyes whether or not she

30
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: succeeded in her mission. Your majesty, please take some time

31
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: to consider, getically speaking, the chances of you arriving on

32
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: I don't suppose you'd agree to having a co pilot.

33
00:02:45,480 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: At least Clarion four is especially go alone, and so

34
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: the Queen pilots are space capsule to the surface of

35
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: Elio's three m h manually guiding the craft. I see

36
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: what appears to be level stable ground. H ah. I've

37
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: set a laser target on that area. Will you read

38
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: that target and will control your descent from here? Prepared

39
00:03:51,160 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: for landfall in chick five four three que mine m

40
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: h m m hm. Request status check, my queen. I've

41
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: landed safely. Systems appear to be fully operational. Everything here

42
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: looks good. Tell me your heart is Tell me how

43
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: do things look outside the capsule? Can you hear me,

44
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: my queen? No? Please? No? What do you mean? The

45
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: planet I'm on he's still born. It's the same cold, gray,

46
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: airless moon that quays are One found when she first arrived.

47
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: But that's simply not possible. No atmosphere, no water, no

48
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: evidence of life of any kind. But the data would

49
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: suggest I suppose we will have to accept the fact

50
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: that quays are One has failed. She made a noble

51
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: your ma, lady. No one could neither we know her

52
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: chances of success were while that is incosible, extremely improbable. Yes,

53
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: well you don't know quays are One the way I

54
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: knew her. If there had been away, she would have

55
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: found it. But even so, I suppose it was too

56
00:05:53,360 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: much to hope for it. Zemtron, you should have just

57
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: let me assume. I am sorry your jesty, genuinely. Oh

58
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: it's fine, it's fine. We had to come and see.

59
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: We had to know to be sure. Perhaps you would

60
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: like a moment alone before we bring you back. Yes,

61
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: that would be nice, but I wish to ask for

62
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: your indulgence. Indulgence, but you are the Queen. Anything. I

63
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: would like to walk on this planet, touch the very

64
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: ground she walked upon. What do you say is abtron?

65
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: How dangerous is it? I see no reason why she

66
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: couldn't If there's no atmosphere, the contamination risk is low.

67
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: That's good news. This you'll need to be careful to

68
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: flush out your wish is our command, your Highness, And

69
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: if you wish to switch off your communicator for a

70
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: moment of silence, thank you. I shall enjoy your walk,

71
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: my Queen. Stand by to pressurize suit suit pressurized, prepare

72
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: to release airlock. You may open the hatch by your

73
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: own controls opening capsule hatch now h m hm. I'm

74
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: free to just get out and walks. Three is all yours.

75
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: We will be here when you're ready to be launch.

76
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: Just be careful, please, ye Nightingale, this is Queen. Can

77
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: you hear me? Queen to Nightingale, can you hear me? Cetron? Well,

78
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: off we go. Then, I hope his calculations were correct.

79
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: The air tran feeling of your no has been broken.

80
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: Please replace your helmet or return to a pressurization chamber.

81
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: So this is what it was all for. For two hours,

82
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: I experienced a joy and beauty that no other human

83
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: would ever know. I walked upon the surface of Helios three,

84
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: a verdant, vibrant planet, rich in atmosphere, teeming with life,

85
00:09:52,080 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: fragrant with vegetation. I removed my helmet to feel the

86
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: warmth of the sun upon my face. I sat at

87
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: the base of a tree and gazed in wonder at

88
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: the valley that opened below me. At one point, I

89
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: realized tears were streaming down my cheeks. I had to

90
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: ask myself for whom was I weeping For quasar One,

91
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: who gave her life in order for this planet to

92
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: flourish as it had, for myself, knowing I would soon

93
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: return to the tiny capsule end to life in the

94
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: artificially ventilated atmosphere of the spaceship Nightingale. Soon my entire

95
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: face was streaked with water, and I realized I was

96
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: caught in a shower of rain m and anointed by

97
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 1: the waters of Helios three Renaissance. I returned to my capsule.

98
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: I returned to Nightingale. Hmmm mmm, the type of your

99
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: helmet has been broken. Replace your helmet or return to

100
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: a pressurization. Before I sealed myself inside the helmet and space,

101
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: I drew one final breath of air from helios three.

102
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: Please replace your helmet, and I held in that breath

103
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: the intoxicating perfume of life. Uncorrupted air typed seal of

104
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: your helmet and before it has been broken, capsule hatch

105
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: door is sealed. I carried the breath of life back

106
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: into my capsule. Capsule system online, Queen to Nightingale, I

107
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: am ready to return. Capsule systems chopping more for us

108
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: to do here, Get me out now. Navigations checked, now

109
