WEBVTT - S2 E7: Epilogue

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Ah, have you anything to report? Yes, your majesty, I

0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:14.960
<v Speaker 1>regret to inform you that about two hours ago we

0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:21.360
<v Speaker 1>lost contact with quaz Our one's neural microchip. We can

0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:24.799
<v Speaker 1>only assume that the chip and quaiz Our one with

0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 1>it we're destroyed. May we also assume that her mission

0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:35.320
<v Speaker 1>was a success. With all due respect, I avoid making

0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 1>any assumption. Rather than, as Suley's be kind to me,

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 1>said Bratron, rather than assume, we will send the probe

0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 1>to see if quaz Our one was successful. The cold

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>dead planet should now be alive. In fact, it will

0:00:55.960 --> 0:01:01.360
<v Speaker 1>be quite something to see. Remember, a partial extinction occurred

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 1>two hundred fifty years ago. Since it was not near total,

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:09.959
<v Speaker 1>the surviving species should be thriving, especially now that there

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>are fewer predators, well different predators. Mm hmm. This could

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:21.040
<v Speaker 1>allow for a significant evolutionary surge within twenty million years.

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 1>We might be inferred we won't be around to witness it.

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:30.680
<v Speaker 1>We could be explain. The probe we send will take

0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:35.480
<v Speaker 1>soil samples and atmospheric meetings. We have often discussed ending

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>the Nightingales mission once we find a planet that is

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:43.240
<v Speaker 1>properly habitable, wouldn't it be fitting for us to establish

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>economy on the planet that Quasar one herself restored Extron

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:54.360
<v Speaker 1>rather than send an unwomanned probe. Is there any reason

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 1>why we couldn't send a piloted capsule mm hmm. It

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:03.640
<v Speaker 1>seems unnecessary use of our resources without first let me

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>rephrase that Zebtron prepare a piloted capsule. I'm going to

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 1>examine Helio's three. You you, your highness, will you defy me?

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>You general quagmire or old people, Your majesty, I only

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:24.200
<v Speaker 1>she was my daughter. I wish to visit her grave

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>and see with my own eyes whether or not she

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:33.520
<v Speaker 1>succeeded in her mission. Your majesty, please take some time

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 1>to consider, getically speaking, the chances of you arriving on

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't suppose you'd agree to having a co pilot.

0:02:45.480 --> 0:03:01.960
<v Speaker 1>At least Clarion four is especially go alone, and so

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>the Queen pilots are space capsule to the surface of

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Elio's three m h manually guiding the craft. I see

0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 1>what appears to be level stable ground. H ah. I've

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 1>set a laser target on that area. Will you read

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:50.760
<v Speaker 1>that target and will control your descent from here? Prepared

0:03:51.160 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 1>for landfall in chick five four three que mine m

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:19.440
<v Speaker 1>h m m hm. Request status check, my queen. I've

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:26.800
<v Speaker 1>landed safely. Systems appear to be fully operational. Everything here

0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:31.360
<v Speaker 1>looks good. Tell me your heart is Tell me how

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:39.640
<v Speaker 1>do things look outside the capsule? Can you hear me,

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 1>my queen? No? Please? No? What do you mean? The

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:58.840
<v Speaker 1>planet I'm on he's still born. It's the same cold, gray,

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:03.400
<v Speaker 1>airless moon that quays are One found when she first arrived.

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>But that's simply not possible. No atmosphere, no water, no

0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:15.599
<v Speaker 1>evidence of life of any kind. But the data would

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.360
<v Speaker 1>suggest I suppose we will have to accept the fact

0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 1>that quays are One has failed. She made a noble

0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:29.160
<v Speaker 1>your ma, lady. No one could neither we know her

0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:37.920
<v Speaker 1>chances of success were while that is incosible, extremely improbable. Yes,

0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 1>well you don't know quays are One the way I

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:46.479
<v Speaker 1>knew her. If there had been away, she would have

0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:53.240
<v Speaker 1>found it. But even so, I suppose it was too

0:05:53.360 --> 0:06:00.720
<v Speaker 1>much to hope for it. Zemtron, you should have just

0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 1>let me assume. I am sorry your jesty, genuinely. Oh

0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.640
<v Speaker 1>it's fine, it's fine. We had to come and see.

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>We had to know to be sure. Perhaps you would

0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:28.520
<v Speaker 1>like a moment alone before we bring you back. Yes,

0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:33.280
<v Speaker 1>that would be nice, but I wish to ask for

0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:42.279
<v Speaker 1>your indulgence. Indulgence, but you are the Queen. Anything. I

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:47.039
<v Speaker 1>would like to walk on this planet, touch the very

0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:53.360
<v Speaker 1>ground she walked upon. What do you say is abtron?

0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:58.599
<v Speaker 1>How dangerous is it? I see no reason why she

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:03.640
<v Speaker 1>couldn't If there's no atmosphere, the contamination risk is low.

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.440
<v Speaker 1>That's good news. This you'll need to be careful to

0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 1>flush out your wish is our command, your Highness, And

0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 1>if you wish to switch off your communicator for a

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 1>moment of silence, thank you. I shall enjoy your walk,

0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 1>my Queen. Stand by to pressurize suit suit pressurized, prepare

0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 1>to release airlock. You may open the hatch by your

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:58.320
<v Speaker 1>own controls opening capsule hatch now h m hm. I'm

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:05.680
<v Speaker 1>free to just get out and walks. Three is all yours.

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.560
<v Speaker 1>We will be here when you're ready to be launch.

0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Just be careful, please, ye Nightingale, this is Queen. Can

0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:35.080
<v Speaker 1>you hear me? Queen to Nightingale, can you hear me? Cetron? Well,

0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:50.840
<v Speaker 1>off we go. Then, I hope his calculations were correct.

0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:02.160
<v Speaker 1>The air tran feeling of your no has been broken.

0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Please replace your helmet or return to a pressurization chamber.

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:32.600
<v Speaker 1>So this is what it was all for. For two hours,

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I experienced a joy and beauty that no other human

0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:46.199
<v Speaker 1>would ever know. I walked upon the surface of Helios three,

0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:51.760
<v Speaker 1>a verdant, vibrant planet, rich in atmosphere, teeming with life,

0:09:52.080 --> 0:10:00.040
<v Speaker 1>fragrant with vegetation. I removed my helmet to feel the

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:05.720
<v Speaker 1>warmth of the sun upon my face. I sat at

0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.560
<v Speaker 1>the base of a tree and gazed in wonder at

0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:15.840
<v Speaker 1>the valley that opened below me. At one point, I

0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:20.720
<v Speaker 1>realized tears were streaming down my cheeks. I had to

0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:25.480
<v Speaker 1>ask myself for whom was I weeping For quasar One,

0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.840
<v Speaker 1>who gave her life in order for this planet to

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 1>flourish as it had, for myself, knowing I would soon

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:38.440
<v Speaker 1>return to the tiny capsule end to life in the

0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:52.520
<v Speaker 1>artificially ventilated atmosphere of the spaceship Nightingale. Soon my entire

0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:56.720
<v Speaker 1>face was streaked with water, and I realized I was

0:10:56.880 --> 0:11:09.000
<v Speaker 1>caught in a shower of rain m and anointed by

0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:14.439
<v Speaker 1>the waters of Helios three Renaissance. I returned to my capsule.

0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I returned to Nightingale. Hmmm mmm, the type of your

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:39.400
<v Speaker 1>helmet has been broken. Replace your helmet or return to

0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:44.360
<v Speaker 1>a pressurization. Before I sealed myself inside the helmet and space,

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.720
<v Speaker 1>I drew one final breath of air from helios three.

0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Please replace your helmet, and I held in that breath

0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:58.679
<v Speaker 1>the intoxicating perfume of life. Uncorrupted air typed seal of

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:04.320
<v Speaker 1>your helmet and before it has been broken, capsule hatch

0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:12.240
<v Speaker 1>door is sealed. I carried the breath of life back

0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:29.160
<v Speaker 1>into my capsule. Capsule system online, Queen to Nightingale, I

0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:35.600
<v Speaker 1>am ready to return. Capsule systems chopping more for us

0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:40.640
<v Speaker 1>to do here, Get me out now. Navigations checked, now

0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:49.640
