(sighing)
Sentence, death.
Commuted to life at hard labor.
Since incarceration,
subject has been involved
in six violent encounters,
one of which resulted in the
death of another prisoner.
Subject is presumed
to be the cause
of the other prisoner's death
but no witnesses came forward.
Subject is to be presumed
extremely dangerous.
I like that.
(laughing)
- Hey, Nikki!
- Where they taking you, Nikki?
- Take me with you!
- Leave her alone!
- You show them, Nikki!
- Show them!
- Where you going?
- [Prisoner] Kick
the fat one, Nikki!
- Leave her alone!
- Where are you taking her?
- Go, Nikki!
- Get them, Nikki, come on!
- Where are you going?
- Good luck, Nikki!
- So, who the hell are you?
(gate clanging)
- My name is Max.
I'm your fairy godmother.
- Where's your wand?
- Right here.
(keys tapping)
(computer beeping)
It can do almost anything.
- Can it get me out of here?
- If you play your cards right.
- I don't have any
cards left, pal.
- The name is Max.
- Yeah, I still don't
have any cards left.
- You can always bluff.
- Why don't you stop being so
obscure and get to the point.
I've got a sentence to serve
and I don't like playing games.
- You're right, Nikki,
you don't have any cards.
What's more, you murdered a cop.
- A dirty cop and it was
a set up from the start.
Or does that little
magic wand of yours
tell you that side of the story?
- I know a lot of things, Nikki.
Probably more than you know.
You were the best undercover
agent the Service ever had.
You've got guts and
brains and intuition
and you don't know when to quit.
You've been here almost two
years and you're still alive.
For Titan, that's
saying something.
- What are you selling, Max?
- Who says I'm selling anything?
- You wouldn't be in
this godforsaken place
if you didn't want
something from me.
What?
- We need your help.
- (laughs) And who's we?
- You don't need to know.
- What do I get out
of the deal exactly?
- You pull this off, we shave
five years off your sentence.
- (laughs) Five years.
Make it 10 and get
me out of the mines.
No more hard labor.
- Eight.
- Deal.
- Take a seat.
- (giggles) In this thing?
- [Max] Best seat in the house.
- So what is this, some kind
of virtual reality gear?
- [Max] Better.
- I must be crazy.
- [Max] That is
one of the reasons
you were chosen
for this mission.
- What mission?
- This one.
(keys tapping)
(computer beeping)
(suspenseful music)
(low rumbling)
United Space
Services Corporation
Research Vessel Unitransco.
Crew, 136.
Scientific staff, 87.
(boots thudding)
- This way.
- Cover me.
- Right.
- [Max] Security staff, nine.
Unitransco mission,
research and long-term study
of temporal transference
of raw materials
interdimensionally.
(beeping)
(breathing apparatus hissing)
(door hissing)
Keep watching.
86 days ago, a team of
scientists including
Dr. Janice Dane
conducted an
experimental mission
to an unknown quadrant
in the Ganex System.
- Time travel?
- Go fast enough, time and
distance become the same thing.
(electrical whooshing)
(cosmic thudding)
Keep watching.
Initially, the mission
progressed successfully.
But there were a
number of problems.
(scientists chattering)
(static buzzing)
- [Scientist] Initializing.
- [Max] Eventually, most of
the problems were solved.
(static buzzing)
(distant yelling)
But, by that time,
the mission team
had completely disappeared.
In the end, only one member
of the team was recovered.
(whooshing)
Dr. Dane.
Since the reappearance
of Dr. Dane,
there has been no communication
with the Unitransco
or with anyone aboard her.
(metal clanging)
(soldiers yelling)
(loud thudding)
Long-range sensors indicate
there is still human life
aboard the Unitransco.
(static buzzing)
(pained yelling)
(monstrous hissing)
Sensors also
indicate the presence
of another,
unidentified, life form.
(monstrous squealing)
(guns firing)
- [Soldier] Get
up, shoot, come on!
(guns firing)
- [Nikki] Unidentified
life form?
- We think something
came back with Dr. Dane.
(guns firing)
- [Nikki] Something?
(monstrous squealing)
(monstrous grunting)
- We're not sure what it is.
All we know for sure is that
Dr. Dane and the Unitransco
have not checked in with
company headquarters
for the last three weeks.
The company is worried.
The Unitransco and the
work they're doing on her
is worth billions.
- So what am I supposed
to do about it?
- You used to be a Marshall,
you brought in the bad guys,
we want you to do it again.
There's a supply drone on its
way to the Unitransco now.
Everything you'll
need is on board.
They're expecting a new
security officer named Smith.
That's you.
- What happens if
I get into trouble?
Do I have any back-up?
What's that?
- Your back-up.
(clicking)
(grunting)
That was a nanochip
I just injected.
In a few seconds from now,
it'll find a nice spot
in your cerebral
cortex and set up shop.
It receives, transmits,
records and calls for help.
- Gee, what I always wanted.
So, when do I get to leave?
- Well, what about now?
- I'll have to consult
my appointment book.
Right now is fine.
Anything's better than
being in those mines.
Exactly how am I supposed
to get on the supply drone?
- Well, that's the easy part.
(beeping)
(thudding)
(whirring)
(heroic music)
Good luck.
You'll need it.
(loud clanging)
(adventurous music)
- [Computer] Docking
sequence initiated.
Three minutes to insertion.
- Back in the saddle again.
- [Max] Nikki, you're okay?
- Max?
Where the hell are you?
- [Max] Inside your head.
The nanochip, remember?
- Oh yeah.
- [Max] Just one last
thing before you dock,
the company isn't taking any
chances on releasing some kind
of alien life form into
the general population.
You've got 48 hours to find out
just what the hell is going on.
- And if I don't?
- [Max] The company
launches a missile attack
and you get blown away
along with everyone else
on board Unitransco.
(loud rumbling)
(whooshing)
(loud rumbling)
(hissing)
(thudding)
- [Computer] Docking completed.
(suspenseful music)
(beeping)
(door hissing)
Welcome to United Space Services
Research Vessel Unitransco.
Marshall Smith, Dr.
Dane is waiting for you
in laboratory seven.
Please follow the
left hand corridor
until you reach the elevator.
Take the elevator to deck 19.
- Anything I should
know about myself?
- [Max] Ask the chip.
- (laughs) How the hell
am I supposed to do that?
- [Max] Think the question.
If the answer's in the
databank, you'll get an answer.
(whirring)
- Okay.
Who is Marshall Smith?
- [Nanochip]
Searching databanks.
(nanochip beeping)
Last assignment, prisoner
transport services.
Marshall Smith is a
non-monogamous tantric.
- Hold it, what's a
non-monogamous tantric?
- [Nanochip]
Searching databanks.
(nanochip beeping)
(monstrous breathing)
N.M.T. was a small
religious order
established on Terra
Nine 30 years ago.
Practitioners of N.M.T.
believe that all relationships,
male or female,
should be sexualized.
- Great, I'm a space slut.
(monstrous hissing)
Now he tells me.
(beeping)
(mysterious music)
- I didn't hurt you
too much, did I?
- Just a little bit.
(soft footsteps tapping)
- He'll make it better.
(moaning)
(keys tapping)
(beeping)
(door hissing)
(moaning)
(beeping)
You're the new Marshall.
- Yes, ma'am, Janet
Louise Smith, I've--
(moaning)
I've been assigned
to your installation.
- This doesn't
bother you, does it?
The file does say that you're
a tantric, is that right?
- So they say.
And no, ma'am, it
doesn't bother me.
I've just been admiring
their technique.
- A Marshall with
a sense of humor.
You are a refreshing change.
(moaning)
- So, what happened
to the other Marshall?
- An unfortunate accident.
- [Nanochip] John
Hamilton, 37-years-old,
cause of death
listed as accidental.
- What type of accident?
- He took a breath
where he shouldn't have.
- [Nanochip]
According to the log,
he suffered total
instantaneous decompression
in a malfunctioning airlock.
- Lovely.
- They are, aren't they?
(moaning)
(tense music)
Yes!
- [Nikki] Ma'am?
- You're still here.
- Ma'am, I was
wondering something.
- Yes?
- I thought this was a
scientific research ship.
- There's more than one
kind of science, Marshall,
and there's more than
one kind of research.
- Yes, I guess that's true.
- This key will give you
unrestricted access to the ship
except for deck one, which is
off limits to everyone but me.
- Okay.
- You'll excuse me, but I
have a lot of work to do.
Your quarters are on deck four.
The computer will
show you the way.
(moaning)
(moaning)
(whooshing)
(whooshing)
(beeping)
(door hissing)
- I thought these
were my quarters.
- You're Marshall Smith.
- That's right.
Who are you?
- I'm Joe, Joe Pike.
Dr. Dane's associate.
I was just tidying up, trying
to make you feel at home.
- Thanks.
- Well, I guess I'll be
going, let you get settled in.
- Sure.
- I'll see you later.
(beeping)
(door hissing)
- Sure.
(Nikki sighing)
I wonder what type of
research goes on here.
- [Nanochip]
Searching databanks.
Verbal or visual representation?
(mysterious music)
- Both.
- [Nanochip] For the
last several years,
the Unitransco has been
doing temporal experiments,
testing the feasibility of
large-volume material transfer
across extremely
large distances.
(computer beeping)
(breathing apparatus hissing)
(computer beeping)
(machinery revving)
- [Nikki] How long has Dr.
Dane been conducting research
into human sexual behavior?
(moaning)
- [Nanochip]
Searching databanks.
There is no record
of any such research
being conducted
aboard the Unitransco.
- Interesting.
(low rumbling)
(suspenseful music)
(metal clanging)
Where's computer station 26?
- [Nanochip] Would
you like a verbal
or visual representation?
We have both options available.
- Plain directions
would be good.
- [Nanochip] As you like.
Left hand corridor,
three levels down.
(monstrous wet hissing)

(monstrous wet hissing)

(monstrous wet hissing)
(thudding)
- [Guard] This is
a restricted area.
- Hi, I'm the new Marshall.
- This is a restricted area.
- Marshall as in boss.
Your boss.
Look,
your devotion is noted,
but right now I need you
to get out of my way, okay?
- [Guard] This is
a restricted area.
- Well, then I guess you're
gonna have to arrest me.
(grunting)
(mysterious music)
(heavy breathing)
(Dane sighing)
(lock buzzing)
(beeping)
(door hissing)
Video file, Ganex Expedition.
- [Computer] Those
files have been deleted.
- Who deleted them?
- [Computer] Dr. Janice Dane.
(moaning)
- Personnel file, psychological
profile of Dr. Janice Dane.
(laughing)
- [Computer] Those
files have been deleted.
- Is there any file that
horny doctor hasn't deleted?
(moaning)
- [Computer] 4,222,372
files aboard Unitransco
have not been deleted.
Please define horny.
- Smart ass.
Status update,
(computer beeps)
United Space Service
Research Vessel Unitransco.
(computer beeping)
(moaning)
- [Computer] Steady
pre-determined course,
rotating axially once
every 23.4 hours.
- Suspend update.
Crew status.
- [Computer] Crew is
in suspended animation
in the long-distance
pods on deck 27.
- [Nikki] How many?
- [Computer] 136.
- That's almost the entire crew!
Who the hell is flying
this bucket of bolts?
(computer beeping)
- [Computer] I have no
data on a bucket of bolts
which is presently flying.
- Okay, who is running the ship
if half of the crew is asleep?
- [Computer] United Space
Services Research Vessel
Unitransco is presently
on automatic pilot.
(beeping)
(door hissing)
(communicator chirping)
- [Guard] Dr. Dane,
we found Westwell
on level C with a busted head.
We think Marshall Smith did it.
- I don't care if the
idiot's skull is fractured,
I want him to find
the woman now.
I thought I told you
to keep an eye on her.
Can't you even do a
simple job like that?
- Well, I can't watch her
every single moment of the day.
- Well, then I guess I'm just
gonna have to do it myself.
Oh yeah. (moans)
More.
(Dane sighing)
- Someone has got to know
what's going on here.
(dramatic music)
(whooshing)
(sighing)
- [Dane Voiceover] There's
more than one kind of science,
Marshall, and there's more
than one kind of research.
There's more than one
kind of science, Marshall,
and there's more than
one kind of research.
- Locate Katarina White.
- [Computer] Katarina White
is presently in the
ship's infirmary.
(mysterious music)
(heart rate monitor beeping)
- All she did was scratch him.
(soft moaning)
- [Guard] Hey!
- I know, I know,
restricted area.
(suspenseful music)
(footsteps tapping)
- Stop.
You may leave.
- Looks like he had too
much of a good thing.
- A hidden coronary
ailment, bad luck.
- Oh, really?
What about her?
More bad luck?
- You might say that.
You were in the
computer room, why?
- Oh, just looking around.
- The computer
terminals are off-limits
except to authorized personnel.
- Restricted area, yeah, I know.
- The infirmary is a
restricted area as well.
Unless, of course, your health
has taken a sudden
turn for the worse.
- I feel fine.
- You must be tired, though.
Looks like you
could use some rest.
Lack of sleep can be dangerous.
What have you got there?
- Sorry.
- Just a scratch.
- Tell that to him.
- I want you to find out
everything you can about her,
no matter what you have to do.
- We can't afford to lose
another Marshall, Doctor.
The company is gonna
start to wonder.
- Then be discreet.
- Anything you say, Doctor.
(suspenseful music)
- [Nikki] Is anybody there?
- [Max] What's up?
- [Nikki] I want some
answers or I want out.
- [Max] We've been picking
up a completely alien
bacterial presence
on board Unitransco.
- [Nikki] A bug?
- [Max] We don't know.
But you're in for the
duration, I'm afraid.
The good doctor is
probably victim zero,
the first one to
contract the bug.
You have to find out if
her behavior is irrational
or if there's something
else going on.
- [Nikki] Something else?
(heart rate monitor beeping)
- [Max] The word
invasion springs to mind.
(doorbell chiming)
- Come in!
(beeping)
(door hissing)
I thought it would be you.
- Really?
Why is that?
- Well, you're Dr.
Dane's eyes and ears.
I suppose she sent you down here
to get some information from me.
- No, I came on my own.
- What's that, suddenly
overwhelmed with affection?
- Well, I do find
you attractive.
And you're a tantric.
And I thought you might
have got the message, too.
We're being watched.
- Yeah, I got the message.
Joe, exactly whose
side are you on?
- You've got to help
me get off this ship.
How about some music?
(gentle romantic music)
That's better.
- Joe,
you have until my
very last button
until I kick your teeth in.
What the hell's going on here?
- I'm supposed to seduce you
and get everything you know
and, if I don't,
she's gonna kill me.
(sighing)
(heavy breathing)
- He will be next.
I hope you like him.
(moaning)
(moaning)
There's enough guards on
this ship to service her.
After all, she is a tantric.
(moaning)
I like a happy crew. (moans)
(heavy breathing)
One big happy family.
(low rumbling)
(mysterious music)
(heart rate monitor beeping)
- Why aren't you sick?
You've been exposed long enough.
- You know about the sickness?
- Where does the bug come from?
- We don't really know,
there was a temporal shift
when Dr. Dane came back
through the chamber.
It could have been
then, we're not sure.
- Max was right.
(heart rate monitor beeping)
I have to find out more.
I need to go back
to the infirmary.
- She's watching
your every move.
- Then let's show
her some good ones.
(heart rate monitor beeping)

(alarm beeping)
- [Nikki] What the hell?
(alarm blaring)
- [Computer] Warning.
- Security breach.
(gasping)
(pained yelling)
(squelching)
(screaming)
(monstrous screeching)
- [Computer] Warning.
(monstrous screeching)
- [Computer] Warning,
biohazard containment--
(monstrous screeching)
(heart rate monitor droning)
Warning, warning, warning.
(doors thudding)
Containment
procedures in effect.
- Come on!
- [Computer] All safety doors
will be sealed immediately.
All personnel,
evacuate from level C.
(lock beeping)
- I can't get it open, you try!
(lock beeping)
- She must have changed
the security codes.
Here comes trouble.
- [Dane] What's going on here?
- It's not the Marshall's fault,
she's just trying to do her job.
- Well, why don't
you go and do yours?
Now, both of you, leave.
- Please, let's go.
- Not until I find out what's
going on behind that door.
- What's going on behind that
door is none of your concern.
- It's okay, I can handle
this one on my own.
- You think you can
handle me, Marshall?
- Absolutely.
- I have spent half a lifetime
on this research,
Marshall Smith.
The company gave
me complete control
and authority over
this facility.
Authority which I
am now exercising.
- Well, the company thinks
you may have gone mad.
- (laughs) Whether I'm
crazy or not is irrelevant.
You are way out of
depth, Marshall,
not to mention
your jurisdiction.
- Everything on this ship is
my jurisdiction, Dr. Dane.
(guns clicking)
(tense music)
Is that clear?
- Crystal clear.
- Now tell your goons to
put away their weapons!
Now!
- Do as she says.
- Now, two steps back!
Now, open the damn door.
- Marshall, you may be a fool
but you are not a killer.
I will not open that door
and you will not
pull that trigger.
- No?
Try me.
- All right. (laughs)
See?
I knew you weren't
the killing kind.
Put the gun away.
- That's far enough.
- I can get closer if you want.
Now, shoot me, if you dare.
Marshall, if you go
through that door,
you're going to
ruin an experiment
that is vital to my research.
I can't let that happen.
- You can't stop me.
(gun firing)
(grunting)
- Lock her up.
- Come on.
- I think I'll hang on
to this for a while.
(beeping)
(door hissing)
(Nikki grunting)

(beeping)
(door hissing)
(lock beeping)
(Nikki grunting)
(thudding)
(Nikki grunting)
(scraping)
(beeping)
(door hissing)
- Joe Pike is headed to
Marshall Smith's quarters.
(dramatic music)
- [Dane] You'll
just have to wait.
(low rumbling)
(beeping)
(door hissing)
(beeping)
(door hissing)
- If this is some kind of
peace offering from the doctor,
I'm not buying.
(tray clanging)
- Actually, it was a
peace offering from me.
- You always run from fights?
- Usually, I'm not very
good at confrontation.
- (scoffs) No kidding.
What are you doing?
- I'm releasing your computer.
The doctor wants you to resume
your duties immediately.
You can scan all security
stations from this terminal.
(mysterious music)
- I see.
- She also wants you in
her quarters right away.
- Oh, does she?
Why?
- To give you back your weapon.
- Okay, but before I go,
show me how this works.
- [Joe] Well,
you've got to enter
the main parameters like this.
- Oh, I get it.
This the right way?
(mysterious music)
- No, it's not that easy.
- What about this?
- No, it's impossible.
- There's got to be a way.
(keys tapping)
Now we're getting somewhere.
Works for me.
Well, I guess I should be going.
Any idea where the
good doctor is?
- I think she's entertaining.
(door hissing)
(laughing)
- Sorry, hope I'm
not interrupting.
- No.
Actually, I was hoping
that you would come.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
Although,
I would prefer that you
not aim it in my direction.
- You trust me with this?
- I've read your file,
you're eminently trustworthy
and it's good to know
who your enemies are,
as well as your
potential friends.
Friendship does
have its benefits,
especially for a
tantric like you.
It's my understanding that
tantrics value friendship
very highly,
especially close ones.
- Depends on who the
friendship's with.
- I can offer you all
sorts of friendships.
Any kind you want.
Join me and I can
give you a life
that the company could
never provide you.
- That's okay.
I think I'll pass.
I like to make
friends on my own.
On my own terms.
That way I don't wind up
getting stabbed in the back.
- Stabbing is the least
of your worries, Marshall.
And being alone can
have serious drawbacks.
- I can take of myself.
- I'm sure you can.
But there are lots
of dark corners
and shadowy places
on a ship like this.
Places one shouldn't
go by themselves
without the protection
a friend can provide.
- [Nikki] That sounds
like a threat, Doctor.
- No, just a warning.
Do we understand each other?
- I think so.
You want me to mind
my own business
and stay out of yours, right?
- Exactly right. (laughs)
(door hissing)
(low rumbling)
(dramatic music)
(monstrous hissing)
(suspenseful music)
(monstrous hissing)
(monstrous hissing)
(thudding)
(keys tapping)
(beeping)
(door hissing)
(keys tapping)
- She's just who she
says she is, a Marshall.
- And a tantric. (laughs)
Both of you
performed quite well.
- [Joe] Well, I like to
throw myself into my work.
- [Dane] Does she know anything?
- Not yet, but she's suspicious.
- Perhaps another session
with you will calm her nerves.
What about it, Joe?
(beeping)
- [Nikki] Now what?
- [Max] Pay attention
to the monitor.
That's the alien's signature.
The bug.
(scraping)
- [Nikki] What's it doing?
- [Max] It's getting
transferred from Dr. Dane
to those two women she was with.
- She's transferring
the bug on purpose?
- [Max] She's the queen bee
and the other two
are the workers.
(moaning)
Mucus membrane transfer,
probably the most effective.
(beeping)
- Yuck!
- [Max] We need to know more.
Incubation periods, for one.
How they eat, what they eat.
- I've got a line on
Dane's personal log.
- [Max] Good, reel it in.
You've only got
about 16 hours left.
(keys tapping)
- Keep your eye on the Marshall.
(door hissing)
(Dane laughing)
(door hissing)
(door hissing)
- She'll kill me if she
finds out about this.
- She'll kill both of us.
What are we looking at here?
- Her log entry from
the day she got back.
She was in the infirmary.
We thought she was unconscious.
All her life signs
had gone crazy,
pulse, respiration, everything.
(heart rate monitor beeping)
- [Nikki] Who's the
guy in the white coat?
- [Joe] Dr. Benson.
- I've never met him.
- You won't, not unless you
visit the freezer units.
- He's dead?
- [Joe] As a doornail.
- But she only scratched him.
- Well, it was
enough to do the job.
It took less than 24 hours.
- So that's what
Dr. Dane was doing
in her quarters
with those girls.
- Yeah.
Check this out.
- Freeze that.
- [Joe] There's the first one.
- And there's the second one.
- It could have been the
third victim of the evening.
- [Nikki] So why
aren't you infected?
- Well, one of the
ones Dr. Dane infected
tried to pass the virus on to me
but I wouldn't let
her scratch me.
- So what happens,
exactly, when you get sick?
- I'm not sure, let's find out.
Oh, here we go.
(heart rate monitor beeping)
This is from last night.
- [Nikki] That's Katarina!
What the hell's
happening to her?
(yelling)
- She's in labor.
(yelling)
(cracking)
(screaming)
(monstrous screeching)
- Freeze that.
What is that thing?
- Her son.
- Max was right.
We can't let them
get off this ship.
- Who's Max?
- (laughs) He's the
only friend we've got.
(suspenseful music)
(monstrous hissing)
(door hissing)
- Why here?
- Well, this is the only safe
way I could broadcast this.
(beeping)
- Well, what now?
- I call up Max.
Max?
- [Max] Right here.
- I'm sending you the contents
of Dr. Dane's personal log.
High speed transmission
begins now.
- All right, so when do we
talk to this Max character?
- I just did.
- [Joe] What does
this Max guy say?
- We have to get a tissue
sample from Katarina's body.
Max says it's the only key.
- Key to what?
- Getting out of here alive.
(suspenseful music)
(monstrous hissing)
Are you sure this is
where they took her body?
(monstrous hissing)
- There.
Oh, dear God!
- Her chest has been
torn from the inside out.
- I could have stopped this!
- No.
Dr. Dane is responsible
for this, not you.
It just sucked the life
out of her and left.
It's loose on the ship
and it looks hungry.
- What are you saying,
it's looking for food?
- Looks like it's
harvesting DNA.
- Why?
- That's what we're
here to find out.
(monstrous hissing)
And when I'm finished, I
have to deal with Dane.
(clanging)
She's the primary carrier.
Get rid of her, this
all ends right here.
(monstrous hissing)
Stay away from Dane
(gentle music)
and stay alive.
- You coward.
(suspenseful music)

(distant monstrous screeching)

He's on you, Nikki,

What are you doing?
- Just trying to make you
feel more comfortable.
You were unconscious.
- [Nikki] Well,
I'm wide awake now.
- [Max] Don't let her touch you.
She's trying to
give you the bug.
- Our friends from
the other side
are much stronger than we
are, much more powerful,
and they have so
much to offer us.
- [Max] If there's any kind
of molecular transfer of DNA,
you'll die.
- When they come
here and take over,
they will need people
like you and me
to convince the others
that resistance is futile.
I assure you, we
will be rewarded.
- [Max] Get out of there, now.
- I'm open to suggestions.
- [Max] Try flattery.
- I'm willing to be convinced.
- A wise move.
- But I'm not gonna be
convinced tied up like this.
- Let me take care
of that for you.
- That's okay, I can
take care of that myself.
- Perhaps another time?
This evening?
- Yeah.
Sounds good to me.
(door hissing)
(metal groaning)
(machinery whirring)
(monstrous hissing)
(tense music)
(door hissing)
(door hissing)
Still don't see why
I have to do this.
You've gotten all the
information that you need.
Why don't I just kill Dr. Dane,
you come get me,
and then you can blow up
this rivet collection.
- [Max] We have to
stop them cold for good
with this mutated bug.
- You think it will work?
- [Max] We've got
to send her back.
If she can infect her own
kind, we have a chance.

- [Max] I thought
you should know,
the company isn't taking
any chances on releasing
some kind of alien life form
into the general population.
You've got to find out just
what the hell is going on.
- [Nikki] That's my plan.
And if I don't?
- [Max] The company
launches a missile attack
and you get blown away
along with everyone else
on board the Unitransco.
- [Nikki] Not 'til I give
Dr. Dane her medicine.
(suspenseful music)
- Marshall, we've
been expecting you.
Come to join us at last?
- I thought this
was a private party.
I don't think I want
something like this.
- You won't regret
it, believe me.
(whooshing)
- I already am.
(whooshing)
- Let us convince you.
(whooshing)
(whooshing)
- I don't think I'm ready.
- There's no time
like the present.
It's inevitable.
(whooshing)
(monstrous screeching)
- I guess you're right.
(Dane laughing)
(gasping)
(monstrous screeching)
(groaning)
- Kill her!
(grunting)
(static buzzing)
(whooshing)
(monstrous screeching)
(whooshing)
You can't stop us now.
It's too late.
- Yeah, well, according to Max,
you've got enough
mutated bacteria in you
to kill every one of your
slimy friends. (laughs)
- There's still time.
- Yeah?
Then convince me.
Come on.
(whooshing)
Come on.
(whooshing)
(monstrous screeching)
(whooshing)
That's it, come on, come on.
(whooshing)
That's it.
Come on.

Come on.
That's a good girl,
come on. (laughs)
Don't give up, come on,
we're almost there, come on.

Almost there, come on, come on.
(giggles) Come on.

You have to get out of there.
- Come on.
(flames roaring)

Come on.
That's a good girl.
Not so tough after all, huh?
Come on!
- [Max] Nikki, get
out of there now.
- That's a good girl.
Come on, that's a good girl.
That's it.
(radar beeping)
Come on, you can do it.
- [Max] Nikki!

Sentence, death.
Commuted to life at hard labor.
Since incarceration,

death of another prisoner.
Subject is presumed
to be the cause
of the other prisoner's death
but no witnesses came forward.
Subject is to be presumed

- Good luck, Nikki!
- So, who the hell are you?
(gate clanging)
- My name is Max.
I'm your fairy godmother.
- Where's your wand?
- Right here.
(keys tapping)
(computer beeping)
It can do almost anything.
- Can it get me out of here?
- If you play your cards right.
- I don't have any
cards left, pal.
- The name is Max.
- Yeah, I still don't
have any cards left.
- You can always bluff.
- Why don't you stop being so
obscure and get to the point.
I've got a sentence to serve
and I don't like playing games.
- You're right, Nikki,
you don't have any cards.
What's more, you murdered a cop.
- A dirty cop and it was
a set up from the start.
Or does that little
magic wand of yours
tell you that side of the story?
- I know a lot of things, Nikki.
Probably more than you know.
You were the best undercover
agent the Service ever had.
You've got guts and
brains and intuition
and you don't know when to quit.
You've been here almost two
years and you're still alive.
For Titan, that's
saying something.
- What are you selling, Max?
- Who says I'm selling anything?
- You wouldn't be in
this godforsaken place
if you didn't want
something from me.
What?
- We need your help.
- (laughs) And who's we?
- You don't need to know.
- What do I get out
of the deal exactly?
- You pull this off, we shave
five years off your sentence.
- (laughs) Five years.
Make it 10 and get
me out of the mines.
No more hard labor.
- Eight.
- Deal.
- Take a seat.
- (giggles) In this thing?
- [Max] Best seat in the house.
- So what is this, some kind
of virtual reality gear?
- [Max] Better.
- I must be crazy.
- [Max] That is
one of the reasons
you were chosen
for this mission.
- What mission?
- This one.

(low rumbling)
United Space
Services Corporation
Research Vessel Unitransco.
Crew, 136.
Scientific staff, 87.
(boots thudding)
- This way.
- Cover me.
- Right.
- [Max] Security staff, nine.
Unitransco mission,
research and long-term study
of temporal transference
of raw materials
interdimensionally.
(beeping)
(breathing apparatus hissing)
(door hissing)
Keep watching.
86 days ago, a team of
scientists including
Dr. Janice Dane
conducted an
experimental mission
to an unknown quadrant
in the Ganex System.
- Time travel?
- Go fast enough, time and
distance become the same thing.
(electrical whooshing)
(cosmic thudding)
Keep watching.
Initially, the mission
progressed successfully.
But there were a
number of problems.
(scientists chattering)
(static buzzing)
- [Scientist] Initializing.
- [Max] Eventually, most of
the problems were solved.
(static buzzing)
(distant yelling)
But, by that time,
the mission team
had completely disappeared.
In the end, only one member
of the team was recovered.
(whooshing)
Dr. Dane.
Since the reappearance
of Dr. Dane,
there has been no communication
with the Unitransco
or with anyone aboard her.
(metal clanging)
(soldiers yelling)
(loud thudding)
Long-range sensors indicate
there is still human life
aboard the Unitransco.
(static buzzing)
(pained yelling)
(monstrous hissing)
Sensors also
indicate the presence
of another,
unidentified, life form.
(monstrous squealing)
(guns firing)
- [Soldier] Get
up, shoot, come on!
(guns firing)
- [Nikki] Unidentified
life form?
- We think something
came back with Dr. Dane.
(guns firing)
- [Nikki] Something?
(monstrous squealing)
(monstrous grunting)
- We're not sure what it is.
All we know for sure is that
Dr. Dane and the Unitransco
have not checked in with
company headquarters
for the last three weeks.
The company is worried.
The Unitransco and the
work they're doing on her
is worth billions.
- So what am I supposed
to do about it?
- You used to be a Marshall,
you brought in the bad guys,
we want you to do it again.
There's a supply drone on its
way to the Unitransco now.
Everything you'll
need is on board.
They're expecting a new
security officer named Smith.
That's you.
- What happens if
I get into trouble?
Do I have any back-up?
What's that?
- Your back-up.
(clicking)
(grunting)
That was a nanochip
I just injected.
In a few seconds from now,
it'll find a nice spot
in your cerebral
cortex and set up shop.
It receives, transmits,
records and calls for help.
- Gee, what I always wanted.
So, when do I get to leave?
- Well, what about now?
- I'll have to consult
my appointment book.
Right now is fine.
Anything's better than
being in those mines.
Exactly how am I supposed
to get on the supply drone?
- Well, that's the easy part.
(beeping)
(thudding)
(whirring)
(heroic music)
Good luck.
You'll need it.
(loud clanging)

- [Computer] Docking
sequence initiated.
Three minutes to insertion.
- Back in the saddle again.
- [Max] Nikki, you're okay?
- Max?
Where the hell are you?
- [Max] Inside your head.
The nanochip, remember?
- Oh yeah.
- [Max] Just one last
thing before you dock,
the company isn't taking any
chances on releasing some kind
of alien life form into
the general population.
You've got 48 hours to find out
just what the hell is going on.
- And if I don't?
- [Max] The company
launches a missile attack
and you get blown away
along with everyone else
on board Unitransco.

Welcome to United Space Services
Research Vessel Unitransco.
Marshall Smith, Dr.
Dane is waiting for you
in laboratory seven.
Please follow the
left hand corridor
until you reach the elevator.
Take the elevator to deck 19.
- Anything I should
know about myself?
- [Max] Ask the chip.
- (laughs) How the hell
am I supposed to do that?
- [Max] Think the question.
If the answer's in the
databank, you'll get an answer.
(whirring)
- Okay.
Who is Marshall Smith?
- [Nanochip]
Searching databanks.
(nanochip beeping)
Last assignment, prisoner
transport services.
Marshall Smith is a
non-monogamous tantric.
- Hold it, what's a
non-monogamous tantric?
- [Nanochip]
Searching databanks.
(nanochip beeping)
(monstrous breathing)
N.M.T. was a small
religious order
established on Terra
Nine 30 years ago.
Practitioners of N.M.T.
believe that all relationships,
male or female,
should be sexualized.
- Great, I'm a space slut.
(monstrous hissing)
Now he tells me.
(beeping)
(mysterious music)
- I didn't hurt you
too much, did I?
- Just a little bit.
(soft footsteps tapping)
- He'll make it better.
(moaning)
(keys tapping)
(beeping)
(door hissing)
(moaning)
(beeping)
You're the new Marshall.
- Yes, ma'am, Janet
Louise Smith, I've--
(moaning)
I've been assigned
to your installation.
- This doesn't
bother you, does it?
The file does say that you're
a tantric, is that right?
- So they say.
And no, ma'am, it
doesn't bother me.
I've just been admiring
their technique.
- A Marshall with
a sense of humor.
You are a refreshing change.
(moaning)
- So, what happened
to the other Marshall?
- An unfortunate accident.
- [Nanochip] John
Hamilton, 37-years-old,
cause of death
listed as accidental.
- What type of accident?
- He took a breath
where he shouldn't have.
- [Nanochip]
According to the log,
he suffered total
instantaneous decompression
in a malfunctioning airlock.
- Lovely.
- They are, aren't they?
(moaning)
(tense music)
Yes!
- [Nikki] Ma'am?
- You're still here.
- Ma'am, I was
wondering something.
- Yes?
- I thought this was a
scientific research ship.
- There's more than one
kind of science, Marshall,
and there's more than
one kind of research.
- Yes, I guess that's true.
- This key will give you
unrestricted access to the ship
except for deck one, which is
off limits to everyone but me.
- Okay.
- You'll excuse me, but I
have a lot of work to do.
Your quarters are on deck four.
The computer will
show you the way.
(moaning)
(moaning)
(whooshing)

were my quarters.
- You're Marshall Smith.
- That's right.
Who are you?
- I'm Joe, Joe Pike.
Dr. Dane's associate.
I was just tidying up, trying
to make you feel at home.
- Thanks.
- Well, I guess I'll be
going, let you get settled in.
- Sure.
- I'll see you later.
(beeping)
(door hissing)
- Sure.
(Nikki sighing)
I wonder what type of
research goes on here.
- [Nanochip]
Searching databanks.
Verbal or visual representation?
(mysterious music)
- Both.
- [Nanochip] For the
last several years,
the Unitransco has been
doing temporal experiments,
testing the feasibility of
large-volume material transfer
across extremely
large distances.
(computer beeping)
(breathing apparatus hissing)
(computer beeping)
(machinery revving)
- [Nikki] How long has Dr.
Dane been conducting research
into human sexual behavior?
(moaning)
- [Nanochip]
Searching databanks.
There is no record
of any such research
being conducted
aboard the Unitransco.
- Interesting.
(low rumbling)
(suspenseful music)
(metal clanging)
Where's computer station 26?
- [Nanochip] Would
you like a verbal
or visual representation?
We have both options available.
- Plain directions
would be good.
- [Nanochip] As you like.

idiot's skull is fractured,
I want him to find
the woman now.
I thought I told you
to keep an eye on her.
Can't you even do a
simple job like that?
- Well, I can't watch her
every single moment of the day.
- Well, then I guess I'm just
gonna have to do it myself.
Oh yeah. (moans)
More.
(Dane sighing)
- Someone has got to know
what's going on here.
(dramatic music)

- Stop.
You may leave.
- Looks like he had too
much of a good thing.
- A hidden coronary
ailment, bad luck.
- Oh, really?
What about her?
More bad luck?
- You might say that.
You were in the
computer room, why?
- Oh, just looking around.
- The computer
terminals are off-limits
except to authorized personnel.
- Restricted area, yeah, I know.
- The infirmary is a
restricted area as well.
Unless, of course, your health
has taken a sudden
turn for the worse.
- I feel fine.
- You must be tired, though.
Looks like you
could use some rest.
Lack of sleep can be dangerous.
What have you got there?
- Sorry.
- Just a scratch.
- Tell that to him.
- I want you to find out
everything you can about her,
no matter what you have to do.
- We can't afford to lose
another Marshall, Doctor.
The company is gonna
start to wonder.
- Then be discreet.
- Anything you say, Doctor.
(suspenseful music)
- [Nikki] Is anybody there?
- [Max] What's up?
- [Nikki] I want some
answers or I want out.
- [Max] We've been picking
up a completely alien
bacterial presence
on board Unitransco.
- [Nikki] A bug?
- [Max] We don't know.
But you're in for the
duration, I'm afraid.
The good doctor is
probably victim zero,
the first one to
contract the bug.
You have to find out if
her behavior is irrational
or if there's something
else going on.
- [Nikki] Something else?
(heart rate monitor beeping)
- [Max] The word
invasion springs to mind.
(doorbell chiming)
- Come in!
(beeping)
(door hissing)
I thought it would be you.
- Really?
Why is that?
- Well, you're Dr.
Dane's eyes and ears.
I suppose she sent you down here
to get some information from me.
- No, I came on my own.
- What's that, suddenly
overwhelmed with affection?
- Well, I do find
you attractive.
And you're a tantric.
And I thought you might
have got the message, too.
We're being watched.
- Yeah, I got the message.
Joe, exactly whose
side are you on?
- You've got to help
me get off this ship.
How about some music?
(gentle romantic music)
That's better.
- Joe,
you have until my
very last button
until I kick your teeth in.
What the hell's going on here?
- I'm supposed to seduce you
and get everything you know
and, if I don't,
she's gonna kill me.
(sighing)
(heavy breathing)
- He will be next.
I hope you like him.
(moaning)
(moaning)
There's enough guards on
this ship to service her.
After all, she is a tantric.
(moaning)
I like a happy crew. (moans)
(heavy breathing)
One big happy family.
(low rumbling)
(mysterious music)
(heart rate monitor beeping)
- Why aren't you sick?
You've been exposed long enough.
- You know about the sickness?
- Where does the bug come from?
- We don't really know,
there was a temporal shift
when Dr. Dane came back
through the chamber.
It could have been
then, we're not sure.
- Max was right.
(heart rate monitor beeping)
I have to find out more.
I need to go back
to the infirmary.
- She's watching
your every move.
- Then let's show
her some good ones.
(heart rate monitor beeping)
(suspenseful music)
(sighing)
(moaning)
(heart rate monitor beeping)

(alarm beeping)
- [Nikki] What the hell?
(alarm blaring)
- [Computer] Warning.
- Security breach.
(gasping)
(pained yelling)
(squelching)
(screaming)
(monstrous screeching)
- [Computer] Warning.
(monstrous screeching)
- [Computer] Warning,
biohazard containment--
(monstrous screeching)
(heart rate monitor droning)
Warning, warning, warning.
(doors thudding)
Containment
procedures in effect.
- Come on!
- [Computer] All safety doors
will be sealed immediately.
All personnel,
evacuate from level C.
(lock beeping)
- I can't get it open, you try!
(lock beeping)
- She must have changed
the security codes.
Here comes trouble.
- [Dane] What's going on here?
- It's not the Marshall's fault,
she's just trying to do her job.
- Well, why don't
you go and do yours?
Now, both of you, leave.
- Please, let's go.
- Not until I find out what's
going on behind that door.
- What's going on behind that
door is none of your concern.
- It's okay, I can handle
this one on my own.
- You think you can
handle me, Marshall?
- Absolutely.
- I have spent half a lifetime
on this research,
Marshall Smith.
The company gave
me complete control
and authority over
this facility.
Authority which I
am now exercising.
- Well, the company thinks
you may have gone mad.
- (laughs) Whether I'm
crazy or not is irrelevant.
You are way out of
depth, Marshall,
not to mention
your jurisdiction.
- Everything on this ship is
my jurisdiction, Dr. Dane.
(guns clicking)
(tense music)
Is that clear?
- Crystal clear.
- Now tell your goons to
put away their weapons!
Now!
- Do as she says.
- Now, two steps back!
Now, open the damn door.
- Marshall, you may be a fool
but you are not a killer.
I will not open that door
and you will not
pull that trigger.
- No?
Try me.
- All right. (laughs)
See?
I knew you weren't
the killing kind.
Put the gun away.
- That's far enough.
- I can get closer if you want.
Now, shoot me, if you dare.
Marshall, if you go
through that door,
you're going to
ruin an experiment
that is vital to my research.
I can't let that happen.
- You can't stop me.
(gun firing)
(grunting)
- Lock her up.
- Come on.
- I think I'll hang on
to this for a while.
(beeping)
(door hissing)
(Nikki grunting)
(grunting)
(beeping)
(door hissing)
(lock beeping)
(Nikki grunting)
(thudding)
(Nikki grunting)
(scraping)
(beeping)
(door hissing)
- Joe Pike is headed to
Marshall Smith's quarters.
(dramatic music)
- [Dane] You'll
just have to wait.
(low rumbling)
(beeping)
(door hissing)
(beeping)
(door hissing)
- If this is some kind of
peace offering from the doctor,
I'm not buying.
(tray clanging)
- Actually, it was a
peace offering from me.
- You always run from fights?
- Usually, I'm not very
good at confrontation.
- (scoffs) No kidding.
What are you doing?
- I'm releasing your computer.
The doctor wants you to resume
your duties immediately.
You can scan all security
stations from this terminal.
(mysterious music)
- I see.
- She also wants you in
her quarters right away.
- Oh, does she?
Why?
- To give you back your weapon.
- Okay, but before I go,
show me how this works.
- [Joe] Well,
you've got to enter
the main parameters like this.
- Oh, I get it.
This the right way?
(mysterious music)
- No, it's not that easy.
- What about this?
- No, it's impossible.
- There's got to be a way.
(keys tapping)
Now we're getting somewhere.
Works for me.
Well, I guess I should be going.
Any idea where the
good doctor is?
- I think she's entertaining.
(door hissing)
(laughing)
- Sorry, hope I'm
not interrupting.
- No.
Actually, I was hoping
that you would come.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
Although,
I would prefer that you
not aim it in my direction.
- You trust me with this?
- I've read your file,
you're eminently trustworthy
and it's good to know
who your enemies are,
as well as your
potential friends.
Friendship does
have its benefits,
especially for a
tantric like you.
It's my understanding that
tantrics value friendship
very highly,
especially close ones.
- Depends on who the
friendship's with.
- I can offer you all
sorts of friendships.
Any kind you want.
Join me and I can
give you a life
that the company could
never provide you.
- That's okay.
I think I'll pass.
I like to make
friends on my own.
On my own terms.
That way I don't wind up
getting stabbed in the back.
- Stabbing is the least
of your worries, Marshall.
And being alone can
have serious drawbacks.
- I can take of myself.
- I'm sure you can.
But there are lots
of dark corners
and shadowy places
on a ship like this.
Places one shouldn't
go by themselves
without the protection
a friend can provide.
- [Nikki] That sounds
like a threat, Doctor.
- No, just a warning.
Do we understand each other?
- I think so.
You want me to mind
my own business
and stay out of yours, right?
- Exactly right. (laughs)
(door hissing)
(low rumbling)
(dramatic music)
(monstrous hissing)
(suspenseful music)
(monstrous hissing)
(monstrous hissing)
(thudding)
(keys tapping)
(beeping)
(door hissing)
(keys tapping)
- She's just who she
says she is, a Marshall.
- And a tantric. (laughs)
Both of you
performed quite well.
- [Joe] Well, I like to
throw myself into my work.
- [Dane] Does she know anything?
- Not yet, but she's suspicious.
- Perhaps another session
with you will calm her nerves.
What about it, Joe?
(beeping)
- [Nikki] Now what?
- [Max] Pay attention
to the monitor.
That's the alien's signature.
The bug.
(scraping)
- [Nikki] What's it doing?
- [Max] It's getting
transferred from Dr. Dane
to those two women she was with.
- She's transferring
the bug on purpose?
- [Max] She's the queen bee
and the other two
are the workers.
(moaning)
Mucus membrane transfer,
probably the most effective.
(beeping)
- Yuck!
- [Max] We need to know more.
Incubation periods, for one.
How they eat, what they eat.
- I've got a line on
Dane's personal log.
- [Max] Good, reel it in.
You've only got
about 16 hours left.
(keys tapping)
- Keep your eye on the Marshall.
(door hissing)
(Dane laughing)
(door hissing)
(door hissing)
- She'll kill me if she
finds out about this.
- She'll kill both of us.
What are we looking at here?
- Her log entry from
the day she got back.
She was in the infirmary.
We thought she was unconscious.
All her life signs
had gone crazy,
pulse, respiration, everything.
(heart rate monitor beeping)
- [Nikki] Who's the
guy in the white coat?
- [Joe] Dr. Benson.
- I've never met him.
- You won't, not unless you
visit the freezer units.
- He's dead?
- [Joe] As a doornail.
- But she only scratched him.
- Well, it was
enough to do the job.
It took less than 24 hours.
- So that's what
Dr. Dane was doing
in her quarters
with those girls.
- Yeah.
Check this out.
- Freeze that.
- [Joe] There's the first one.
- And there's the second one.
- It could have been the
third victim of the evening.
- [Nikki] So why
aren't you infected?
- Well, one of the
ones Dr. Dane infected
tried to pass the virus on to me
but I wouldn't let
her scratch me.
- So what happens,
exactly, when you get sick?
- I'm not sure, let's find out.
Oh, here we go.
(heart rate monitor beeping)
This is from last night.
- [Nikki] That's Katarina!
What the hell's
happening to her?
(yelling)
- She's in labor.
(yelling)
(cracking)
(screaming)
(monstrous screeching)
- Freeze that.
What is that thing?
- Her son.
- Max was right.
We can't let them
get off this ship.
- Who's Max?
- (laughs) He's the
only friend we've got.
(suspenseful music)
(monstrous hissing)
(door hissing)
- Why here?
- Well, this is the only safe
way I could broadcast this.
(beeping)
- Well, what now?
- I call up Max.
Max?
- [Max] Right here.
- I'm sending you the contents
of Dr. Dane's personal log.
High speed transmission
begins now.
- All right, so when do we
talk to this Max character?
- I just did.
- [Joe] What does
this Max guy say?
- We have to get a tissue
sample from Katarina's body.
Max says it's the only key.
- Key to what?
- Getting out of here alive.
(suspenseful music)
(monstrous hissing)
Are you sure this is
where they took her body?
(monstrous hissing)
- There.
Oh, dear God!
- Her chest has been
torn from the inside out.
- I could have stopped this!
- No.
Dr. Dane is responsible
for this, not you.
It just sucked the life
out of her and left.
It's loose on the ship
and it looks hungry.
- What are you saying,
it's looking for food?
- Looks like it's
harvesting DNA.
- Why?
- That's what we're
here to find out.
(monstrous hissing)
And when I'm finished, I
have to deal with Dane.
(clanging)
She's the primary carrier.
Get rid of her, this
all ends right here.
(monstrous hissing)
Stay away from Dane
(gentle music)
and stay alive.
- You coward.
(suspenseful music)
(monstrous hissing)
(monstrous hissing)
(creaking)
(monstrous hissing)
(heavy breathing)
- Come on.

- Gonna have to find her!
Do a sweep of lower levels.
(beeping)
Try the triple transfer unit.
(heavy breathing)
(metal groaning)
(thudding)
(distant monstrous screeching)
- Oh, Max.
Where are you when I need you?
(distant monstrous screeching)
(metal groaning)
(monstrous hissing)
- God, where is she?
(monstrous hissing)
(metal groaning)
He's on you, Nikki,
he's on you, run!
(monstrous screeching)
(monstrous hissing)
(gun clicking)
- You want a sample?
Sample this.
(gun firing)
(loud banging)
(squelching)
(grunting)
(tense music)
(metal groaning)
(metal groaning)
(footsteps tapping)
What are you doing?
- Just trying to make you
feel more comfortable.
You were unconscious.
- [Nikki] Well,
I'm wide awake now.
- [Max] Don't let her touch you.
She's trying to
give you the bug.
- Our friends from
the other side
are much stronger than we
are, much more powerful,
and they have so
much to offer us.
- [Max] If there's any kind
of molecular transfer of DNA,
you'll die.
- When they come
here and take over,
they will need people
like you and me
to convince the others
that resistance is futile.
I assure you, we
will be rewarded.
- [Max] Get out of there, now.
- I'm open to suggestions.
- [Max] Try flattery.
- I'm willing to be convinced.
- A wise move.
- But I'm not gonna be
convinced tied up like this.
- Let me take care
of that for you.
- That's okay, I can
take care of that myself.
- Perhaps another time?
This evening?
- Yeah.
Sounds good to me.
(door hissing)
(metal groaning)
(machinery whirring)
(monstrous hissing)
(tense music)
(door hissing)
(door hissing)
Still don't see why
I have to do this.
You've gotten all the
information that you need.
Why don't I just kill Dr. Dane,
you come get me,
and then you can blow up
this rivet collection.
- [Max] We have to
stop them cold for good
with this mutated bug.
- You think it will work?
- [Max] We've got
to send her back.
If she can infect her own
kind, we have a chance.
(metal groaning)

- Come with me,
you son of a bitch!
(monstrous screeching)
(loud banging)
(rumbling)
(loud banging)
- [Max] I thought
you should know,
the company isn't taking
any chances on releasing
some kind of alien life form
into the general population.
You've got to find out just
what the hell is going on.
- [Nikki] That's my plan.
And if I don't?
- [Max] The company
launches a missile attack
and you get blown away
along with everyone else
on board the Unitransco.
- [Nikki] Not 'til I give
Dr. Dane her medicine.
(suspenseful music)
- Marshall, we've
been expecting you.
Come to join us at last?
- I thought this
was a private party.
I don't think I want
something like this.
- You won't regret
it, believe me.
(whooshing)
- I already am.
(whooshing)
- Let us convince you.
(whooshing)
(whooshing)
- I don't think I'm ready.
- There's no time
like the present.
It's inevitable.
(whooshing)
(monstrous screeching)
- I guess you're right.
(Dane laughing)
(gasping)
(monstrous screeching)
(groaning)
- Kill her!
(grunting)
(static buzzing)
(whooshing)
(monstrous screeching)
(whooshing)
You can't stop us now.
It's too late.
- Yeah, well, according to Max,
you've got enough
mutated bacteria in you
to kill every one of your
slimy friends. (laughs)
- There's still time.
- Yeah?
Then convince me.
Come on.
(whooshing)
Come on.
(whooshing)
(monstrous screeching)
(whooshing)
That's it, come on, come on.
(whooshing)
That's it.
Come on.
(whooshing)
Come on.
Yeah.
(whooshing)
Come on.
That's a good girl,
come on. (laughs)
Don't give up, come on,
we're almost there, come on.
(door thudding)
(alarm blaring)
(whooshing)
Almost there, come on, come on.
(giggles) Come on.
(loud banging)
(flames roaring)
- [Max] The company has
launched its missiles.
You have to get out of there.
- Come on.
(flames roaring)
(alarm blaring)
Come on.
That's a good girl.
Not so tough after all, huh?
Come on!
- [Max] Nikki, get
out of there now.
- That's a good girl.
Come on, that's a good girl.
That's it.
(radar beeping)
Come on, you can do it.
- [Max] Nikki!
- [Nikki] Yeah, good girl.
- [Max] Nikki!
- Come on.
(machinery whirring)
(dramatic music)
- Don't leave me! (sobs)
(sobbing)
(monstrous screeching)
(whooshing)
- [Computer] Warning, warning.
This is a collision alert.
Evacuate the ship immediately.
Collision will result
in critical failure
of ship systems.
(alarm blaring)

All personnel, evacuate
to life pods immediately.
