Return to Jupiter (1997–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - Ghosts - full transcript
Eight minutes.
- There's no time to cut the cable.
We'll use the thrusters
to tear the lads free.
Look, I repeat, I can't
give you any guarantees.
I'll give you a guarantee.
If we don't get clear of this
asteroid, we're finished.
Warning, evacuate cable well immediately.
- Come on, cut!
I'd cut faster with a blunt spoon.
- Two minutes remaining.
Ion drives engaged.
- Stand by thrusters.
Michael, get out of there.
You'll be sucked out the cable well.
There's no time.
Good.
Evacuate cable well immediately.
We've lost him.
- Full forward thrust, now please.
Engaged.
The cable well's empty, Michael's gone.
We must have missed
something, another way out.
Yeah, come on, let's
not jump to conclusions.
He's not squishy bits yet.
- That's good coming from you.
I tell you he's not there!
- He might have found another way out.
There might be another
service duct, one you didn't see.
Yes, yes. - He could be
still crawling around down there.
You'll have to face Dent and
get the plans of the ship.
There's nothing down here, Abe.
- But we can't give up yet.
He might have found a way
into the garbage chute.
We're just wasting our time down here.
It was a good idea, Abe.
Wait, over here!
What?
See, what did I tell ya?
Good work, Zac, good work, Abe.
All right, grab his arms, but be gentle.
Michael!
- He's out to it.
Someone will have to
give him mouth-to-mouth.
Well, go on, what are you waiting for?
All right, I'll do it.
Tilt his head back, clear his mouth.
Make sure he hasn't
thrown up or he'll drown.
That is totally disgusting.
What, what is it?
I think his lips moved.
We thought you were dead!
Yes!
Come on, help him up.
- You know,
I couldn't resist.
I want to wring your neck
for going down that cable well.
Am I glad to see you guys!
You do half stink.
At the moment, I don't half care.
You're lucky today finds
me in a slightly good mood.
Go on, you're dismissed, you too.
I haven't finished with you yet.
Now that Gerard is a
full member of the crew,
I could have room for another trainee,
should you be interested.
It would mean a lot of
hard work and discipline,
but I think you're made
of the right stuff.
Thanks, but I don't think so.
Well, if you change your
mind, my door is always open.
Right.
Please make your way
to the transit shuttle,
and may I remind you to take
all personal belongings...
You guys can stay
with me and Mum.
- With you.
It'll be great.
Mum's mostly busy at the hospital
working on some bug or bacteria,
so we'll be able to do
what we want, mostly.
Yes, yes.
- Well, as long as I don't
have to go to boarding school.
If I get stuck with a bunch of nerds...
No way.
- And Quadro comes with me.
Yes, yes.
- I said I wouldn't have it
any other way.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
- Come on, hurry up,
you guys, you got 10 minutes
before the shuttle leaves.
Now move it.
- We're moving.
We're moving.
Michael, you sure
you won't accept Dent's offer?
Come on, it could be fun.
Join the force, see the universe.
I don't think so.
This could be your last chance.
I mean, once we fix
the Icarus and refuel,
we're gonna head back to Earth.
That's not gonna give you
long with your parents, is it?
One or two weeks maybe.
I'm gonna miss you guys.
Here, Selby's data chip.
Thanks, you okay?
I'm fine, now don't lose it.
It's your proof to nail Selby
when you get back to Mars.
Thanks, I only wish you could be there
when we put him in jail.
Nice thought, Gerard.
No, I'm gonna be stuck here, remember?
Kumi, are you okay?
I'm fine, you don't
have to worry about me.
What was that all about?
Have you told Kumi what you told me,
I'm gonna miss you guys, remember?
She's already missing you.
Gerard, give me full
power on landing thrusters.
Check, landing gear locked.
So where is everyone?
Stay close together, please.
Why is it so quiet?
This is all most peculiar.
This doesn't feel right.
Okay, so if this is Ganymede,
where's the official reception committee?
You think they'd be desperate
to get ahold of our cargo.
Why is my skin starting to crawl?
Yours, too?
- Ooh.
But see, this section of the colony
has been hardly abandoned
for reasons as yet unknown.
Come on, guys!
- Hello?
Is anyone there?
- Hello?
Quit fooling around.
This has gone far enough.
Maybe this is where they all
jump out and yell surprise.
Haskell, see if you
can get me some light.
I'm working on it, I'm almost there.
Same as the rest, deserted.
If this is the colony's nerve center,
I'd say the corpse is already stone-cold.
Looks like they
just packed up and left.
Why would they do that?
And where would they go?
Why wouldn't they tell us?
They couldn't tell us
even if they wanted to.
Their communication system's
broken down, remember?
They could have at least
left a note.
- A note?
Or maybe somebody...
Or something took over
their mind.
- Controlled
their thoughts.
- Mind, what?
They're turning my mom into a zombie.
Zombie?
- Will you two keep quiet?
Nobody took over anybody's thoughts.
However, we've
arrived to a forsaken place.
This is most disturbing.
An entire colony doesn't pack
up and leave for no reason.
See if their comm system's still intact
and access their computer log.
I'd like to know what that reason is.
Meantime, we search.
I do hope we
don't run into any zombies.
Shh!
- They hate robots, you know.
You pair take that one.
When you're done, meet back here.
If you find anything, yell.
Don't worry, we will.
Loudly.
- Make sure
you come running, pronto.
And quickly.
Michael, you take that one.
Don't sneak up on me like that!
I wasn't sneaking.
Well, if you weren't sneaking,
you were creeping, and don't!
What's the matter with you?
Take a look at this.
A moldy birthday cake.
It's seen better days.
It might have been my dad's.
Take it easy.
We're gonna find them.
Whatever happened here,
they sure left in a hurry.
They still had time to pack.
All their personal stuff's gone.
There's not a toothbrush in sight.
Well, maybe they died
because of some deadly bacteria
that we're even sucking into
our own lungs as we speak.
Well, in that case,
I'm very glad I'm a robot.
Keep quiet and keep searching.
No lungs.
Did you hear that?
Did you?
Nuh.
Me, neither.
You go first.
You open it.
No way, you open it.
Sorry, temporary malfunction.
I think I'm having a short-circuit.
Coward, I'll do it, stand back.
Certainly.
Not that far back.
Make up your mind.
Zac, help me!
It's Abe!
Get this thing off me!
Do something, it's alive!
Get it off him!
What are you doing?
I'm gonna kill it.
It's already dead, you moron!
Zac, Zac, Zac, wait!
You call this pronto?
- It's all right.
What happened?
Are you blind?
I was just attacked by the living dead.
Cannibal, see, there's your proof.
It's a biology model, you twerps.
Its bones are wired together.
Yeah, well, they are now.
But who wired them together and why,
and how come it made that noise?
What noise?
In there, it was like.
No, it wasn't, it was more.
Well, anyway, we were
checking out the room...
Just like you asked us to.
And we were looking for clues.
And we heard a noise.
So we go to check it out.
What's this we business?
I checked it out.
And we were attacked.
There's nothing there now.
It's a shared storeroom.
There's an exit into the lab next door.
So maybe someone was there.
I still say the answer
is in that storeroom.
If there was someone there,
they would have shown themselves.
Maybe they're too scared.
Or maybe they caused
whatever happened here.
Can we make contact with Earth?
Well, the communication
system seems to have vanished
along with the computer logs.
We've got no way of knowing
what's happened here.
This doesn't make any sense.
It's like they didn't want
us to know what happened.
Someone doesn't.
All right, you better unpack.
Unless we hear from the colonists,
until we find fuel for Icarus,
we could be here for some time.
Okay, guys, let's move.
I think I should
take another look at the labs.
We'll come, too.
No, you won't, you're
going to unpack our things.
Michael, you go with Kumi.
Dear, dear.
- Gerard, you and I
will check out the main fuel reserves.
Wait, wait for me.
What made you change your mind?
Abe's goosebumps, I had the
same thing when I was in here.
You, too!
Now that you mention it.
What is that?
It looks like some
sort of predatory insect.
Have you ever seen
anything like it before?
Never, what's it doing down here?
Let's take a closer look.
We don't know what's in that thing.
One way to find out.
Okay, but you
better be prepared to bolt.
It looks like some kind of
tug, a cargo tug, maybe,
but it's not one of the company vehicles.
Maybe Abe's spies
aren't so imaginary after all.
We better let Gerard know.
Dent's gonna want to find out about this.
But aren't you in
the least bit curious?
Of course I am,
but I don't want to be here
when the owners turn up.
Michael, take a look.
What?
- Up there.
Ha, and you were worried
they wouldn't show up.
See, persistence does pay off!
How much damage shall we do
to their little shuttle?
On the Richter scale?
Let's make it an earthquake.
No, let's go for a
quake with tidal waves.
Tsunami it is.
No, coincidence, Glovic
can't be the only person
with a beach obsession.
No, but she does
have a Vitex computer.
You still think it's a coincidence?
Selby knew we were coming here.
Maybe Resevy turned up.
He'd know that, he's not that stupid.
Unless he already knew that
the colony had been abandoned.
He could have scanned
company frequencies.
Okay, that's it, we're out of here.
Wait a minute, I want to
leave him a little surprise.
Sweet dreams.
Glovic, where were you
when they were handing out the finesse?
Same place you were when they
were handing out the brains.
Tell me this, genius,
even if we do manage
to rip off the Icarus,
what's to stop them
from following us in the mining rig?
You are, my sick friend, you are.
I have a plan that requires
your deft touch in sabotage.
How are you on lift mechanics?
I don't know why we have to
unpack everyone else's stuff.
We should be checking out that storeroom.
Shut up.
It'll be a fast
ride to the mining rigs
if anyone dares to take it.
There, you see?
Every day you're getting
sicker and sicker.
Run!
Move faster, Zac!
What now, genius?
Maybe we've given them the slip.
I wouldn't be too sure.
Now!
Wait, no, hold your fire.
Shut up and hide!
Dear, I have some very bad news.
I'm sure I saw Mr. Selby.
Shh, keep your lenses on the door!
Affirmative, right you are.
Now!
Missiles away!
- Missiles, what missiles?
That!
Take that!
- Take that, Selby!
Nah!
And don't come back.
This is my favorite shirt.
Who cares?
I love this shirt.
Now get them out of there!
Go on, what are you waiting for?
You get them!
Er, there's really
no point to all this.
I'm sure you'd like to know
where the colonists are.
Isn't your mommy among them?
You can't trust him.
This is the guy who tried to
trash us with an asteroid.
But he knows where my mom is.
If you're feeling so generous,
you can tell us from out there.
Otherwise, you get a
face full of utensils.
Just to show you we mean you no harm,
we know they're safe, for the moment.
But that's all you get 'til
you get yourselves out here.
You've got 10 seconds, nine...
You're gonna run
out of things to throw.
Eight!
- Sooner or later.
Seven, six, five,
four...
What are we gonna do?
Three, two, one.
The offer's just been rescinded.
You go first.
Through here, you feral rat!
When I get you, I...
We haven't got time for that.
There, by the time they get out of there,
we'll be long gone on the Icarus.
That's a very small cupboard,
and I do think one of you
might need clean socks, ew.
It's definitely Glovic's.
Same case, same everything, you saw it.
Yes, but I didn't take
particular notice of it, Kumi.
There's more than one Vitex
computer in the universe.
Did you actually see them?
Well, no, but perhaps it was them
who took the colony's computer log.
It's them, it's Selby, we saw them.
We were this close to them.
They know where the colonists are.
I was there.
- They said we were surrounded
but we fought back.
- Calm down.
Take a moment and tell me what
you saw from the beginning.
We were on our way
here when they saw us,
and then they chased us.
Selby said something about Icarus.
He said, "When we're on Icarus,"
and he said something
about my mum being safe.
Well, Kumi, it appears
that you are right
and I, emphatically wrong.
Gerard, you and Billings come with me.
The rest of you stay here.
Once we've got the Spyder,
how long to transfer
our fuel to the Icarus?
Couple of hours, no more.
It's brilliant,
and the best bit, it's
all perfectly legal,
all thanks to a terrible freak of nature.
Keep your mind on the job.
I'll be a lot happier
when they're sucking
on our exhaust fumes.
Give me power for ascent thrust.
But Your Honor, as you are aware,
as a result of the tragic accident,
the Icarus was left abandoned,
and according to the rules of salvage,
she is rightfully ours.
Ready to retract access tube.
Passenger pod secure.
Up thrust, one quarter.
Selby, maybe.
He could've done anything to it.
Open the ignition panels.
I was having a brilliant day
and now you've ruined it.
It ruined itself.
There, recognize it?
It's your virus.
What, do something!
Do what, we've been sabotaged!
Before it eats the whole system!
It's already eaten it.
It can't have!
- Right,
so I must be imagining
the fact that nothing, no,
make that absolutely nothing, is working
in this piece of junk!
Has to be the girl.
She was the only one with half a brain.
You've got 12 hours to come
up with something, genius,
or you and I are going to be here
for that same tragic accident.
Get the Vitex, interface
it with the manual controls.
Bypass the central system.
We're not beaten yet,
my skeptical friend.
Would you like to
rethink that last option?
The Vitex, it's gone!
The ignition sequence is gone.
They've sabotaged the shuttle.
Yes, it's interesting,
there's one thing,
you see, if you want to
get back to the Icarus,
there's one slight possibility.
You're gonna go and hope to
find Selby and ask for it back.
That won't be necessary.
I'm here to make a deal.
I don't make deals.
I think you might after you
hear what we've got to say.
The colony's computer log,
it contains all the
details of your friends.
Where they are and why they left.
You had it, you stole it!
It makes very interesting reading.
You see, your colonist
friends are on Terminex.
I'm sure you've heard of it,
the research station above Jupiter?
You might like to verify what I'm saying.
They've packed up and
flown off into the sunset,
and all because of a very
nasty comet heading our way.
You're joking!
I never joke, kid.
Humor upsets my psyche.
Show them!
It's a pity a thing of such
beauty can be so deadly.
So what's your deal?
Kid, you help us and we'll help you.
Otherwise, in 11
hours we'll all be toast.
- There's no time to cut the cable.
We'll use the thrusters
to tear the lads free.
Look, I repeat, I can't
give you any guarantees.
I'll give you a guarantee.
If we don't get clear of this
asteroid, we're finished.
Warning, evacuate cable well immediately.
- Come on, cut!
I'd cut faster with a blunt spoon.
- Two minutes remaining.
Ion drives engaged.
- Stand by thrusters.
Michael, get out of there.
You'll be sucked out the cable well.
There's no time.
Good.
Evacuate cable well immediately.
We've lost him.
- Full forward thrust, now please.
Engaged.
The cable well's empty, Michael's gone.
We must have missed
something, another way out.
Yeah, come on, let's
not jump to conclusions.
He's not squishy bits yet.
- That's good coming from you.
I tell you he's not there!
- He might have found another way out.
There might be another
service duct, one you didn't see.
Yes, yes. - He could be
still crawling around down there.
You'll have to face Dent and
get the plans of the ship.
There's nothing down here, Abe.
- But we can't give up yet.
He might have found a way
into the garbage chute.
We're just wasting our time down here.
It was a good idea, Abe.
Wait, over here!
What?
See, what did I tell ya?
Good work, Zac, good work, Abe.
All right, grab his arms, but be gentle.
Michael!
- He's out to it.
Someone will have to
give him mouth-to-mouth.
Well, go on, what are you waiting for?
All right, I'll do it.
Tilt his head back, clear his mouth.
Make sure he hasn't
thrown up or he'll drown.
That is totally disgusting.
What, what is it?
I think his lips moved.
We thought you were dead!
Yes!
Come on, help him up.
- You know,
I couldn't resist.
I want to wring your neck
for going down that cable well.
Am I glad to see you guys!
You do half stink.
At the moment, I don't half care.
You're lucky today finds
me in a slightly good mood.
Go on, you're dismissed, you too.
I haven't finished with you yet.
Now that Gerard is a
full member of the crew,
I could have room for another trainee,
should you be interested.
It would mean a lot of
hard work and discipline,
but I think you're made
of the right stuff.
Thanks, but I don't think so.
Well, if you change your
mind, my door is always open.
Right.
Please make your way
to the transit shuttle,
and may I remind you to take
all personal belongings...
You guys can stay
with me and Mum.
- With you.
It'll be great.
Mum's mostly busy at the hospital
working on some bug or bacteria,
so we'll be able to do
what we want, mostly.
Yes, yes.
- Well, as long as I don't
have to go to boarding school.
If I get stuck with a bunch of nerds...
No way.
- And Quadro comes with me.
Yes, yes.
- I said I wouldn't have it
any other way.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
- Come on, hurry up,
you guys, you got 10 minutes
before the shuttle leaves.
Now move it.
- We're moving.
We're moving.
Michael, you sure
you won't accept Dent's offer?
Come on, it could be fun.
Join the force, see the universe.
I don't think so.

I'm fine, now don't lose it.
It's your proof to nail Selby
when you get back to Mars.
Thanks, I only wish you could be there
when we put him in jail.
Nice thought, Gerard.
No, I'm gonna be stuck here, remember?
Kumi, are you okay?
I'm fine, you don't
have to worry about me.
What was that all about?
Have you told Kumi what you told me,
I'm gonna miss you guys, remember?
She's already missing you.
Gerard, give me full
power on landing thrusters.
Check, landing gear locked.
So where is everyone?
Stay close together, please.
Why is it so quiet?

Or maybe somebody...
Or something took over

They're turning my mom into a zombie.
Zombie?
- Will you two keep quiet?
Nobody took over anybody's thoughts.
However, we've
arrived to a forsaken place.
This is most disturbing.
An entire colony doesn't pack

I do hope we

Shh!

You pair take that one.
When you're done, meet back here.
If you find anything, yell.
Don't worry, we will.
Loudly.
- Make sure
you come running, pronto.
And quickly.

Whatever happened here,
they sure left in a hurry.
They still had time to pack.
All their personal stuff's gone.
There's not a toothbrush in sight.
Well, maybe they died
because of some deadly bacteria
that we're even sucking into
our own lungs as we speak.
Well, in that case,
I'm very glad I'm a robot.
Keep quiet and keep searching.
No lungs.
Did you hear that?

You open it.
No way, you open it.
Sorry, temporary malfunction.
I think I'm having a short-circuit.
Coward, I'll do it, stand back.
Certainly.
Not that far back.
Make up your mind.
Zac, help me!
It's Abe!
Get this thing off me!
Do something, it's alive!
Get it off him!
What are you doing?
I'm gonna kill it.
It's already dead, you moron!
Zac, Zac, Zac, wait!
You call this pronto?
- It's all right.
What happened?
Are you blind?
I was just attacked by the living dead.
Cannibal, see, there's your proof.
It's a biology model, you twerps.
Its bones are wired together.
Yeah, well, they are now.
But who wired them together and why,
and how come it made that noise?
What noise?
In there, it was like.
No, it wasn't, it was more.
Well, anyway, we were
checking out the room...
Just like you asked us to.
And we were looking for clues.

We've got no way of knowing

This doesn't make any sense.
It's like they didn't want
us to know what happened.
Someone doesn't.
All right, you better unpack.
Unless we hear from the colonists,
until we find fuel for Icarus,
we could be here for some time.
Okay, guys, let's move.
I think I should
take another look at the labs.
We'll come, too.
No, you won't, you're
going to unpack our things.
Michael, you go with Kumi.
Dear, dear.
- Gerard, you and I
will check out the main fuel reserves.
Wait, wait for me.
What made you change your mind?
Abe's goosebumps, I had the
same thing when I was in here.
You, too!
Now that you mention it.
What is that?
It looks like some
sort of predatory insect.
Have you ever seen
anything like it before?
Never, what's it doing down here?
Let's take a closer look.
We don't know what's in that thing.
One way to find out.
Okay, but you
better be prepared to bolt.
It looks like some kind of
tug, a cargo tug, maybe,
but it's not one of the company vehicles.
Maybe Abe's spies
aren't so imaginary after all.
We better let Gerard know.
Dent's gonna want to find out about this.
But aren't you in
the least bit curious?
Of course I am,
but I don't want to be here

Michael, take a look.

- Up there.
Ha, and you were worried
they wouldn't show up.
See, persistence does pay off!
How much damage shall we do
to their little shuttle?
On the Richter scale?
Let's make it an earthquake.
No, let's go for a
quake with tidal waves.
Tsunami it is.
No, coincidence, Glovic
can't be the only person
with a beach obsession.
No, but she does
have a Vitex computer.
You still think it's a coincidence?
Selby knew we were coming here.
Maybe Resevy turned up.
He'd know that, he's not that stupid.
Unless he already knew that
the colony had been abandoned.
He could have scanned
company frequencies.
Okay, that's it, we're out of here.
Wait a minute, I want to
leave him a little surprise.
Sweet dreams.
Glovic, where were you
when they were handing out the finesse?
Same place you were when they
were handing out the brains.
Tell me this, genius,
even if we do manage
to rip off the Icarus,
what's to stop them
from following us in the mining rig?
You are, my sick friend, you are.
I have a plan that requires
your deft touch in sabotage.
How are you on lift mechanics?
I don't know why we have to
unpack everyone else's stuff.
We should be checking out that storeroom.
Shut up.
It'll be a fast
ride to the mining rigs
if anyone dares to take it.
There, you see?
Every day you're getting
sicker and sicker.
Run!
Move faster, Zac!
What now, genius?
Maybe we've given them the slip.
I wouldn't be too sure.
Now!
Wait, no, hold your fire.
Shut up and hide!
Dear, I have some very bad news.
I'm sure I saw Mr. Selby.
Shh, keep your lenses on the door!
Affirmative, right you are.
Now!
Missiles away!
- Missiles, what missiles?
That!
Take that!
- Take that, Selby!
Nah!
And don't come back.
This is my favorite shirt.
Who cares?
I love this shirt.
Now get them out of there!
Go on, what are you waiting for?
You get them!
Er, there's really
no point to all this.
I'm sure you'd like to know
where the colonists are.
Isn't your mommy among them?
You can't trust him.
This is the guy who tried to
trash us with an asteroid.
But he knows where my mom is.
If you're feeling so generous,
you can tell us from out there.
Otherwise, you get a
face full of utensils.
Just to show you we mean you no harm,
we know they're safe, for the moment.
But that's all you get 'til
you get yourselves out here.
You've got 10 seconds, nine...
You're gonna run
out of things to throw.
Eight!
- Sooner or later.
Seven, six, five,
four...
What are we gonna do?
Three, two, one.
The offer's just been rescinded.
You go first.
Through here, you feral rat!
When I get you, I...
We haven't got time for that.
There, by the time they get out of there,
we'll be long gone on the Icarus.
That's a very small cupboard,
and I do think one of you
might need clean socks, ew.
It's definitely Glovic's.
Same case, same everything, you saw it.
Yes, but I didn't take
particular notice of it, Kumi.
There's more than one Vitex
computer in the universe.
Did you actually see them?
Well, no, but perhaps it was them
who took the colony's computer log.
It's them, it's Selby, we saw them.
We were this close to them.
They know where the colonists are.
I was there.
- They said we were surrounded
but we fought back.
- Calm down.
Take a moment and tell me what
you saw from the beginning.
We were on our way
here when they saw us,
and then they chased us.
Selby said something about Icarus.
He said, "When we're on Icarus,"
and he said something
about my mum being safe.
Well, Kumi, it appears
that you are right
and I, emphatically wrong.
Gerard, you and Billings come with me.
The rest of you stay here.
Once we've got the Spyder,
how long to transfer
our fuel to the Icarus?
Couple of hours, no more.
It's brilliant,
and the best bit, it's
all perfectly legal,
all thanks to a terrible freak of nature.
Keep your mind on the job.
I'll be a lot happier
when they're sucking
on our exhaust fumes.
Give me power for ascent thrust.
But Your Honor, as you are aware,
as a result of the tragic accident,
the Icarus was left abandoned,
and according to the rules of salvage,
she is rightfully ours.
Ready to retract access tube.
Passenger pod secure.
Up thrust, one quarter.
Selby, maybe.
He could've done anything to it.
Open the ignition panels.
I was having a brilliant day
and now you've ruined it.
It ruined itself.
There, recognize it?
It's your virus.
What, do something!
Do what, we've been sabotaged!
Before it eats the whole system!
It's already eaten it.
It can't have!
- Right,
so I must be imagining
the fact that nothing, no,
make that absolutely nothing, is working
in this piece of junk!
Has to be the girl.
She was the only one with half a brain.
You've got 12 hours to come
up with something, genius,
or you and I are going to be here
for that same tragic accident.
Get the Vitex, interface
it with the manual controls.
Bypass the central system.
We're not beaten yet,
my skeptical friend.
Would you like to
rethink that last option?
The Vitex, it's gone!
The ignition sequence is gone.
They've sabotaged the shuttle.
Yes, it's interesting,
there's one thing,
you see, if you want to
get back to the Icarus,
there's one slight possibility.
You're gonna go and hope to
find Selby and ask for it back.
That won't be necessary.
I'm here to make a deal.
I don't make deals.
I think you might after you
hear what we've got to say.
The colony's computer log,
it contains all the
details of your friends.
Where they are and why they left.
You had it, you stole it!
It makes very interesting reading.
You see, your colonist
friends are on Terminex.
I'm sure you've heard of it,
the research station above Jupiter?
You might like to verify what I'm saying.
They've packed up and
flown off into the sunset,
and all because of a very
nasty comet heading our way.
You're joking!
I never joke, kid.
Humor upsets my psyche.
Show them!
It's a pity a thing of such
beauty can be so deadly.
So what's your deal?
Kid, you help us and we'll help you.
Otherwise, in 11
hours we'll all be toast.
