If Crawford wants her former people to return to Earth,
she will decipher the attack on Astrea.
Elder Crawford, we have been expecting you.
We received your request.
79 years of peace may be coming to a halt.
As you know, Astrea suffered an attack.
As Elders we feel that sending the Space Rangers
back to Earth now may be careless.
Instead, we feel it's prudent
that the Space Rangers investigate the event on Astrea
under your careful watch.
General Capp was appointed by the Accords
to serve as a leader, but the elders have doubts.
Allow me to send a space Ranger back to Earth.
That is my price for what you ask of me.
Very well. Well good luck, Elder Crawford.
We should have about 11 minutes once we arrive inside.
11? Seems pretty precise.
Better than 10 and a half.
Good point.
You ready?
Try and keep up.
Didn't mention those. Did you?
Must have slipped my mind.
It's not gonna approach again, eh?
We'll see about that.
Nice job, Scotch. You're learning.
I'm a pilot. I prefer my wings to your wheels.
Well, we can't all be good at everything
- Like you. - Exactly.
We should get back. Hold on.
So that means what? Six in a row?
I only need to win one.
Ah, fortune cookie wisdom.
Good luck, Slowpoke.
Good morning, Rangers.
What's up, Si?
The General wishes to have a word.
That sounds ominous.
He's waiting in his study. Follow me.
That is.
Well, looks like you two had
quite the eventful morning.
I already know, so there's no use denying it.
It's peace time, General.
We're just keeping our skills sharp for when it's not.
Keeping your skills sharp.
Speed racing?
Well, last time I checked wars in the cosmos were fought
in the air, not on the asphalt.
Sir, protocol discontinued air-to-air combat.
Ground-to-tire's only training simulation for us now.
I know what the damn protocol is, Ranger.
I was the one who wrote it.
Did we do something wrong, sir?
Unlike my predecessors,
I've really had no need for the Space Ranger program.
Our planet's been able to thrive under my command,
living in relative peace and harmony
with other species in this galaxy.
Hell, hmm, even our new home has been free
for more invasion, disease.
And in all transparency,
I struggle to find one single reason to not decommission
this idle Space Ranger program altogether.
Until now.
What I'm about to share with you is classified.
Besides Si, no one knows about this,
and I intend to keep it that way
until I make a decision otherwise.
Decision?
There's a planet off the western edge of our galaxy.
Very old. Actually, one of the oldest solar solar system.
Astrea.
You got something you wanna say, Scotch?
It's a mining station.
After I got exiled is the one that sweeps on my route.
That's correct.
We've known about the existence of this for some time now
and for the most part, it's laid mostly dormant.
Until now, sir?
This unmanned space station,
sits right on the edge of the exosphere, on top of Astrea.
Log book show a few ships docking here or there.
Mostly refueling.
But a few hours ago
this happened.
Those weapons violate the Accords.
That's correct.
Who are they?
We don't know.
All that we know is that docking station has been destroyed,
which now leaves that ancient planet vulnerable.
Vulnerable to what, sir?
Anyone.
From what I can remember,
there wasn't much on Astrea to speak of.
On the surface, that's correct.
And below the surface?
How familiar are you with the term Arrowax?
Bimini?
What?
That's an island out the close of Florida.
Like back home on Earth.
That's right, Scotch.
And as the story goes,
Ponce de Leon, 16th century Spanish explorer,
sought a mythical fountain in Florida
that were said to grant eternal youth.
Talking about the water of life?
Wait, you're telling us that's real?
I am.
But the fountain youth part
is nothing more than a bedtime story at best.
The Arrowax are hiding it on Astrea.
But unmanned space station served as a relay satellite
down in the mainland so the species could keep an eye
on who was coming and going.
Wait, so you think these Arrowax are hiding the fountain
of youth on the surface
and whoever took out the relay station is, what,
trying to get their hands on it?
That's one fair, yes.
So you wants us to find out
who took out the mining station.
They're irrelevant at this point in time.
We just need to know why.
The Arrowax are up to something down there.
So that's why I need you two to go down there
and tell me what that is.
After that, we will assess your findings
and come up with an appropriate plan of action.
Plan of action? Meaning?
If we get involved in this mess,
it's gonna be for one to two reasons.
We'll protect whatever it is that we find down there
or take control of it.
Each have a very different set of variables
and different outcomes.
When?
You link in at 06:00 tomorrow morning.
Si will get you all the particulars.
Wait, that's far at the Slingshot atmosphere.
You'd be looking at-
Time travel.
Is there a problem with that, Ranger?
Time travel?
Why the hell not?
I'm down.
Very good.
Dismissed.
So let's read on all that today?
My read?
Spent all this time being irrelevant.
Might be a shot to change all that.
How'd you know all that stuff?
Bimini?
Prep school.
That makes so much sense.
Stayed out there for four years before enlisting.
Stationed at Cape Canaveral.
After flight school,
just waiting on the space program to call my number.
You wanna know what I think?
I already know what you think.
I'm gonna say it out loud anyway.
It seems like every time the Space Rangers are called on,
there's some sort of hidden agenda
or double meaning behind it.
Past doesn't lie.
Exactly.
Don't get me wrong. I love the action, I do.
This place is just starting to feel right, you know?
Like home.
I get it. Really, I do.
But this place,
all this stuff around you, it's not home.
It's just another simulation. I know. I get it.
06:00 is gonna come early.
Thanks for the drink.
See you in the morning.
See ya.
What is it?
Messages came in this morning.
And?
When were you gonna tell me?
Look, I wanted to, I just,
all this stuff with the General.
I didn't wanna break your mood.
Look, Dee, I'm sorry.
If there was something I could do, you know I would.
It's fine.
Really, it's no big deal.
Sure? 'Cause you look hella mad.
Fine. Like you said, there's nothing you can do.
I'm good.
You know, popping in and out of people's lives like that
can be pretty annoying.
Bad time.
Even if it were, would it make a difference?
Not really.
We've been over this.
Your concept of space and time-
Doesn't exist where the Elders live.
I know. You've made that very clear.
So what's up? Why the drop-in?
This issue on Astrea?
The General is only scratching the surface.
Okay.
The Fountain of Youth was something
that Robert Sharpe was once after
when he first migrated the Humans to Andromeda,
way before your time on this planet.
He came close to obtaining it too.
There's an ancient civilization.
It's called the- - The Arrowax.
That's right.
They're hiding a secret from the rest of the Galaxy,
and you're gonna find it on that planet.
Why didn't Sharpe find it first?
He tried.
He used a Space Marine named Reynolds,
but he didn't search deep enough to find it.
The Fountain.
Human minds are so literal.
As with anything worth finding,
there's more to it than it appears.
All right, if not that, then what?
How do you think the Terra Elders
have outlived every other species in this galaxy?
You mean they're hiding an Elder down there?
The oldest one, an Elder we call the Prime.
The Arrowax have guarded his corpse for thousands of years.
And with the mining station out of commission,
he's gonna be left out in the open
for anyone to steal.
That is, if you can get past the Seminole.
What's a Seminole?
You'll find out.
Early start to your day tomorrow.
What time is it?
Yep, I forgot.
You like to do that. Great.
You good? What's up?
Crawford came to see me last night.
Okay, and?
Remember what I said about hidden agendas?
Shit.
Are you ready, Dakota?
Me? I thought we were both going in.
Scotch will serve as command from upstairs.
Your time jumps too far.
You have to use your whole projection to make the trip.
So you don't wanna risk losing ephemeral minutes.
You want me get you back while he's still young, yeah?
Besides, I need all the power I can
to get you there and back.
All right.
Look, you got this.
I'll been here the whole time.
Shall we begin?
Let's do this.
Ready when you are.
All right, you're nearly there.
Vitals look good.
Might have one or two wrinkles when you get back.
Hilarious. Just get me there in one piece.
Copy that.
Some kind of temple up ahead.
We got you.
Corner's really good.
So do I knock or?
I'm finding you a back door.
I see it. On my way.
General Capp says you should see a tunnel.
I see it. Going in for a closer look.
Those tunnels are old.
Older than anything I've ever seen.
It's hard to breathe in here.
I don't know what's happening.
Dee, you all right?
Oh, what the hell was that?
Oh, I never felt anything like that before.
The codex tried the return server.
I had to pull you up before we lost power.
You were second or two
from staying wherever the hell you were.
For a long time.
- That was close. - Too close.
What the hell was that thing?
I have an idea.
We shouldn't talk about it here.
Rangers, the General is waiting.
Whoa.
That was interesting, to say the least.
- Sir- - Not now.
I'll tell you what.
Who is hungry? Let's eat.
I mean, I could eat.
Hmm. Good.
Kind of sweet with a little bit of a bite. Hmm.
So, program's been good to you?
No offense, sir,
but I've lost a lot more than
it's ever been able to provide.
Yeah. None taken.
I mean, we're all wounded souls here.
I understand.
Hmm. So I cooked, we ate.
I say we skipped dessert
and moved to after dinner conversation.
Second that.
Hmm. Okay.
Very well.
Well, here is the essence of mankind's creative genius.
Weapons won't destroy us in the end,
but words, words and ideas can fertilize new concepts.
Makes me think of Siamese twins.
Yes, human beings can weave real fabric things
from the dream stuff of mathematics.
Yet our universe is hardwired with arithmetic.
Scratch a circle, pie peeps out.
Enter a new solar system and telco's formula lies waiting
under the black velvet cloak of space and time.
Hmm. But where?
Where is the universe hidden the secret of everlasting life?
On that planet. That's where.
And why would you want it?
Life that never ends?
I don't, I just don't want anyone else to have it.
It's a big difference.
Enlighten me.
Hm, well, Humans, I mean if nothing else,
have the good sense to die.
People that created this place.
Okay, they see it that way.
The Terra Elders need you to keep it out of the hands
of everyone else.
Exactly.
What you witnessed on Astrea
is the tradition of preservation.
The Arrowax were about to summon the Prime Elder
and move his location in order to keep his DNA hidden,
DNA that can extend the life of any object
that comes in contact with.
We can't afford to lose track of where they move the Prime.
In the Seminole?
Hmm.
Who told you about him?
The Rangers have our sources too.
Yeah.
Well, he's nothing more than a wild card in all this.
His codex outdates our technology.
That's why Scotch had to pull you out of there today.
Did the Seminole know we were in that temple?
I triple checked the firewalls.
No one, I mean no one could know what we were doing.
My, well, he was there, wasn't he?
Look, that doesn't matter how all this happened.
It just matters that it did.
Now I get to speak with the Elders
and see what they see to be an appropriate course of action.
I don't understand.
The Elders need us to do this?
Why don't they just have the Arrowax handle it?
Maybe they don't trust the Arrowax,
I mean, with something this big anyway.
That would explain the need for the Seminole.
Correct.
I'll get us some answers and we'll go from there.
But until then,
let's prepare for the worst but hope for the best.
Thank you for dinner.
You have a lovely home.
I'll show myself out.
I don't like it. Something seems off.
Speak on it.
Crawford already told me about the Prime.
She seems to think everyone would be able to steal it.
So why would the General be any different?
Dee, come on.
No, think about it. The Rangers are pawns.
They would rather have us around and not need us,
than need us and not have us.
All right, so what do you wanna do?
I'm going to the archives.
Be careful. Si watches those files like a hawk.
That's why I'm gonna have you pull his CPU offline
while I do it.
Anything else?
When do you ship out?
It could be any day now.
They just tell you be ready.
I just,
I just can't believe they passed me up.
Look, hey, don't sweat it, all right.
Who knows, maybe I show up, ship out.
End up being the only dark-skinned brother on the planet.
Wouldn't there be some shit?
I'm just jealous.
Going home sounds nice, that's all.
I'll pull Si off in a couple of hours.
You need a ride?
I'm good. Thanks.
Scotch, I'm here. Are we good to go?
Si's fast asleep. You got 15 minutes.
Copy that.
Greetings, Dakota.
Archives, show me the files listed under the Arrowax.
Access denied.
All right. Show me the files on the planet Astrea.
Will there be anything else?
Yes. Archives, send this to Server 5-5-6.
Done.
Do you require further assistance?
Yes, actually.
Pull up any information stored on the name Seminole.
Can I help you with anything else?
Yes, Archives, please translate this.
My apologies. But that file is encrypted.
Encrypted by who?
General Capp.
Would you like me to send the encryption package
to Server 5-5-6 as well?
Quickly, yes.
Very well. Done.
Can I help you with anything else?
Scotch, how are we looking on time?
Time's up. Get out of there.
Archives, log me out and wipe any cache files
regarding this inquiry.
Done. Have a nice day, Dakota.
We did our part
and now we're forced to wait.
Relax.
If it weren't for me,
you wouldn't have known the location of the Prime.
What good is a location if we have nothing to show for it?
You will.
I just need to take care of something on my end first.
The delays won't be long. You have my word.
Your word?
I have someone that needs redistribution.
Give some more time. It'll be yours.
Well?
It's codex isn't old. It's ancient.
So, you can't read it?
It's coded. Some kind of Cipher.
Could take weeks to figure out, if at all.
Terrific.
So the Seminole files, they're washed too then, yeah?
Can you give some time?
I might be able to run some testing on it.
How much time?
A lot.
Damn it.
As long as you can allow me.
It's time consuming.
I don't think it will be long
before Capp sends us back down there,
and I need to know what the fuck it is we're walking into.
I mean, you could always try reaching out.
To Crawford?
She's never did you wrong before.
Is either that or you bring this up to the General.
Yeah, but Capp, he hid the files in the first place.
So then what?
Seems like your decision should be pretty easy.
How does it work anyway?
What, you got some Terra symbol you shine up
in the night sky?
Doesn't work that way.
She usually just shows up when I least expect it.
Okay, so how about I take all of this with me,
see if I can crack it by chance, luck.
Maybe both.
Meanwhile, you do your zen shit.
See if Crawford shows up.
Yep.
Zen. All right, you got this.
You of all beings should know the consequences
of the Prime falling into the wrong hands.
With the Prime Elder exposed,
there is a great deal of concern.
Our species will not now or ever bow to the human race.
The Elders can't bow to you or anyone else.
Power is not what you command, but who commands it.
And such, the Humans will obey the Elders.
And the Fountain, the General has his sights set on it.
Can you be trusted to do what must be done to stop him,
should you be asked to?
We will speak again, Elder, and soon.
Okay.
Shit.
Okay, just breathe.
Try again.
What's a Seminole?
You'll find out.
Scotch.
We've got problems.
Dee, did someone follow you?
No.
- You sure? - Yes, I'm sure.
No one at all?
You check for a tail the way I taught you?
Jesus, yes.
I've been at this longer than you.
Origin Ranger, remember?
Let me guess. No Crawford, huh?
How'd you know?
I got into Si's motherboard.
Uses member banks to translate the files.
How the hell did you do that?
Put I'm a sleep mode.
Look, that's not the important part.
But when I fed the data to the CPU,
it starts spitting out all this crazy shit.
See, Crawford codex is what we call a lifeline.
It predates all other codex readers,
but it's easiest spot too.
So when I traced it using the memory banks,
it's been banned.
Which is why I guess she never came to see you.
Banned?
Even Terra Elders had their limits.
All right, who do you think did that?
Scotch?
What the hell are you doing here?
There aren't any parts of this facility off limits to me,
I'm afraid.
What do you want, Si? We're in the middle of something.
My apologies, but this won't take long.
General Capp wishes to speak with you at once.
Can it wait?
The General was quite adamant you meet him now.
Okay. All right.
Look, take that.
Keep it somewhere safe.
I'll link back up with you after the General and I talk.
You sure?
Dakota, you are being requested at Archives.
Archives. Why?
I'm not quite sure,
but I assume all will be explained once you arrive.
Go on. Keep that on you at all times.
I will.
Ranger Scotch.
You know when I,
when I first heard that the original planet Earth was safe
to return to, I just knew you'd be one of the first
to volunteer to go back.
I mean, given your service history,
you obviously loved your country.
Hmm.
So tell me, you must be excited to return.
I am, sir.
And what luck,
you being one of the first to be picked?
I don't like to think of it as luck, sir.
I think my record speaks for yourself up here.
Hm.
And Dakota?
Disappointed in not being picked, but she's a Ranger.
She knows her place.
Does she?
Sir?
Have you ever heard the expression,
quitting while you're ahead
isn't the same as quitting?
Probably, sir.
Or how about this one?
It is a joy to stay hidden but a disaster to be found.
Both of you, you're just a pain in my ass.
You are gonna tell me what you and Dakota are doing.
And if you refuse, I'll make sure you never set foot
on that planet that you call home again, ever.
I'll tell you what,
even if you do tell me everything,
and I'm sure you are going to,
maybe I'll just let you spend the rest of your days
in chains on this planet.
Si, get in here.
Greetings, Dakota.
You send for me.
I don't understand your command.
No, Archives, there's no command.
Si said he sent for me.
I'm sorry, Dakota, that directive is incorrect.
You didn't ask for me to come?
Why would Si lie?
Perhaps your questions would be best directed
at Si himself.
Is there anything else I can assist you with?
Scotch.
You traitor.
You did this, didn't you?
Don't speak to him.
You want answers? Speak to me.
Oh, like I would believe you.
You're no different than the Grady
or any of the other generals that came before you.
Mm. You will believe me.
Oh, yeah? Why is that?
Because I can guarantee
that you'll absolutely hate my answers.
You're hurt?
I'm good. I can take a hit.
Hm. Happy?
Why?
Well, somewhat of a loaded question.
I know you spoke to Crawford
and I know this one has been tampering
with classified files.
And, you, you've been in the archives
snooping around for things way above your pay grade.
So, why don't we just cut the babe in the woods routine
and just ask me what it is that you would like to know.
Astrea, the Prime, the Arrowax,
the Seminole, all of it.
Astrea's been the original hiding place of the Prime
since we discovered it.
And his DNA built the Terra Elders.
And when his body started to break breakdown,
he, he sacrificed himself.
And had the Arrowax guard his tomb
for as long as it remained intact.
And, well, at mining station,
we had that put in place.
It was just as a way to keep tabs on any one or any species
who came too close to that planet.
Perhaps, it made it difficult to find that planet
so we had that working for us.
And projections, well, just nothing more than software,
which is what enables you to go down there
and take a look around.
In the Seminole?
Put in place by the Prime himself.
He like, yourself, had trouble trusting others.
And Crawford?
Si diluted her, but on my request.
Diluted?
Sent to a place far away in the cosmos
where she just couldn't manipulate time anymore.
A fail safe that I put in place
when I started to realize the Elders
just shouldn't be able to manipulate
whenever the hell they wanted to.
Why?
Because she became too powerful.
And she may see our attempts to secure the Prime
as a threat.
Because it is.
I told you you wouldn't like the answers.
So why lie? Hm?
Why not just tell us?
Because I've earned the right to keep secrets.
You think just because you're an Origin Ranger,
you're in a position to demand answers?
I am the Origin Ranger.
All right then, Ranger, here's your mission.
You're gonna go back to Astrea,
and once you get down there,
you're gonna eliminate the Arrowax
and take possession of the Prime.
And what if the Seminole has something else in mind?
Change it. Simple as that.
Fine. What do I do with the Prime once I have it?
Si will put a payload into orbit.
That way you can teleport the Prime back here.
What about Crawford? Hmm?
How do I know she won't be harmed?
Once we've secured the Prime,
we'll use his DNA to destroy the Terra Elders,
starting with Crawford.
See, it's, it's the only way that we can keep peace
in this galaxy.
A various species, they don't,
they don't wanna be told what to do.
They don't want treaties.
They wanna think for themselves.
They want to make their own decisions.
The time of the Terra Elders is over.
And one more thing,
Ranger Scotchy, he stays here with us.
You make one move off that plan,
you bat an eyelash in the wrong direction,
Si will dispose of him.
And, well, I'll just leave here to gravity fate.
Do I make myself clear?
You're clear.
Dismissed, Ranger.
Come with me.
Get in the wormhole now.
All right, Si, walk me through this.
Once you enter the temple, you will see the Arrowax.
That would be the ideal time for you to do your work.
Si, do you read me?
Si, come in. Do you read me
Sir, there seems to be a problem
in our communication system.
Problem? What kind of problem?
We've lost all audio communication with Dakota.
Visuals?
Those are still intact.
That one must be too far below the surface.
Keep a close eye on her, Si.
A close one.
As you wish, sir.
But if things do go wrong,
we're just gonna send this one down there as a backup plan.
Isn't that right, Ranger Scotch?
Let's go.
Dakota.
You know who I am?
The Prime gives us knowledge.
Then you know I was sent here to kill you
and steal the Prime.
The Humans cannot be allowed
to take possession of the Prime.
The results will be catastrophic.
All right, I agree, but what option do I have?
Destroy the Seminole.
Destroy it?
I thought the Seminole was created by the Prime
in order to protect itself.
The Seminole is a creation of mankind.
I'll destroy the Seminole
and you move the Prime somewhere safe.
When I'm done, I'll know who can help you.
You have my word.
Good luck, Space Ranger. We will be waiting.
You are a big boy, aren't you?
Who sent you here? Was it Capp himself?
Foolish human.
You don't have to tell me now,
but you're still going down.
You will try.
Come and get it.
Who is this?
Who the hell did we get here?
Let him go.
Go on, Scotch.
He has no power here.
You're good?
Told you I could take a punch.
Where's Si?
That depends.
On?
On which part you're speaking of.
He's been decommissioned.
That's impossible.
I'm the only one who can decommission an Android.
Not exactly.
How?
Dakota.
Turns out your plan to steal the Prime's DNA
wasn't as classified as you thought.
That's right.
The species you made a deal with,
they grew wary of your timeless promises.
They found me and told me of your discussions with them.
Your plan was to have them destroy the mining station
to make it look like a random attack on the planet.
From there, you intended to steal the Prime DNA
and destroy me and the other Terra Elders.
And in exchange for their cooperation,
your plan was to let the species destroy the original Earth.
Making it impossible for Scotch
or any other human to reach their former home.
I had you diluted.
I allowed you to believe that.
Why would you do that? Offer up the Earth?
Tell them, General.
If I was he gonna be stuck in this planet Earth forever,
I didn't want to give anyone, including you, Scotch.
Hope.
Hope to return to a home
they missed and they love so much.
You're a criminal, not a General.
And the Prime now?
The Arrowax brought it someplace far away from you.
Only she knows where it is now.
We plan to keep it that way.
Someone's gonna come looking for it.
You know that the peace is never gonna last up here.
Space Rangers will handle that when that time comes.
And the other species?
They no longer intend to destroy your Earth.
Instead, they've accepted a new offer.
A new offer?
Well now, now that the terms
of the new deal have been met, it's time for me to leave.
Well done, Ranger.
What happens now? To us?
Tomorrow, in your time, meet me at the Archives.
All will be explained then.
Well, looks like you're all right.
What can I say? It's a gift.
Let me get you something to put on that.
Hey, Dee.
Thanks for saving my ass.
I saved all our asses.
With the General neutralized
and the Prime secured,
our two species can once again live
in relative peace and harmony.
For how long, only time will tell.
That is why now more than ever,
it is important that the Space Ranges be ever watching
for threats from beyond.
The General will seek revenge.
And with one of your rangers on a journey home,
you must begin a new recruitment.
Humans unafraid to brave the consequences
of the dark matter found in the cosmos
that will be used against them.
Greetings, Rangers.
Who are you?
My name is XR-771.
But you can just call me Ted.
Okay, Ted, you wanna tell us what we're doing here?
Well, Scotch, you have a vessel to Earth to catch.
You mean, I'm still going home?
Precisely. Elder Crawford wishes you the best.
But you shouldn't delay.
Dee.
You deserve it. Really.
It's been an honor serving with you.
I mean it.
Good luck.
Well?
Well, General, you have a very busy day scheduled.
General?
That's correct. At the request of the Terra Elders.
General.
I believe the term is congratulations.
General?
And do you are?
Lieutenant James Lucas.
I was told to come see you about an opening
in the Space Rangers program.
Says here you served under Reynolds.
Where? - Yes ma'am. That's correct.
Sylvanus.
What division?
Drone and Space Marines, first-line infantry.
Hmm. So you like blowing things up?
I do, ma'am.
And you think you're ready to be a Space Ranger?
I do, ma'am.
Very well.
Why don't you show me what you've got.
General Capp.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Admiral, it's just Capp now.
Well, now I might be able to help you with that.
And how would you do that exactly?
By destroying the Space Rangers once and for all.
