[MUSIC PLAYING]
Mavis?
Hello, Kainoa.
I'm not getting a reading from your transport.
No shit.
It's totaled.
That's strange.
We just did maintenance on it.
I'll run diagnostics.
How's comms really doing?
Still down.
I'm afraid we're on our own.
Give me my distance from home.
Base 5 is 9.76 kilometers southwest
of your current position.
OK, plot a route for me.
Gravitational waves are currently in sector 10
and moving northwest at three kilometers per hour.
You should be in the clear.
Good.
Keep me updated.
And Mavis, prepare a fresh O2 canister for me, yeah?
Copy that.
You need to move now.
You have just enough to get back to base.
Tonight is the night.
Uncle, what are you doing?
What are you doing?
Mom told me to find you.
Is that where you're going?
You see those two stars right there?
Those two?
Yeah.
But take your thumb like that, and line it up with the stars.
And that spot right above your hand--
that's where Uncle's going.
I don't see anything.
What's that star?
Oh, that one?
Maybe you'll go there someday.
Come on.
How's [INAUDIBLE] tonight?
The same.
He's a bit happier since Dad showed up.
Of course, he is.
[CHATTER AND LAUGHING]
Keala.
Yes.
Do we have beer?
Yeah, I know.
Oh, hi.
Good luck out there, OK?
We're really going to miss you.
Thanks.
Take care of yourself, OK?
OK.
We're really going to miss you.
Sure.
She hasn't let up since grade school.
Yeah, there's nothing she wants to be under that rainbow.
He hasn't been the same since Mom passed.
He needed you here.
We've been over this.
It wasn't possible.
Honestly, it wasn't my decision to make.
Hey, enough excuses.
Fix it.
Just a reminder-- the last downed peg is near the base.
Atlas Major sets in less than six hours.
We need the system up before then.
I know.
Or we miss our window.
Oh, that's right.
I forgot.
You know everything.
Not liking that tone.
Your internal settings need to be turned down.
Hm, sounds like a personal issue.
[SNICKERS]
By the way, I tried to review the transport maintenance logs,
but I'm blocked out.
It's scrambled.
That doesn't make any sense.
First the pegs.
Now this?
Something's not adding up.
I'll keep trying.
Look, let's just get through tonight.
How much further?
You're close.
You'll have a visual of home base
and the pit just over this hill.
That's what we're calling it?
[CHATTER]
Excuse me, everybody.
Can we gather around really quick?
Um, we're just going to-- no, no, no, no.
Where do you think you're going?
We're going to toast Kainoa before he leaves this.
Kainoa, ever since we were kids, I always
knew you were destined to do great things.
And we are incredibly proud to be proud of you.
Mom would be proud, and I'm trying not to think
of this as a going away party.
15 years is a long time for someone to be gone,
but you've worked so hard.
To your journey out there and your safe return home.
I love you, baby brother.
I love you.
To Kainoa.
(ALL) To Kainoa.
Dad?
Maybe you want to say a few words.
Warning-- rogue gravitational wave detected.
Brace yourself.
[THUMPING]
I would like to say a few words.
Hey.
When I became a member of this family,
I'd been so stoked to say that my brother is an astronaut.
And [INAUDIBLE].
[GRUNTS AND ROCKS CRUMBLING]
[MUFFLED VOICE]
[BEEPING]
Was that OK?
[INAUDIBLE]
I didn't know what else to say.
No, that was good.
Thank you so much.
Can you go check on Dad?
I'll check on Kainoa.
[BEEPING]
Your O2 levels are dropping fast.
There's a leak in your intake hose.
You need to patch it immediately.
You know where the emergency sealant is.
Hello?
Come in.
Copy.
I'm here.
Do I have enough to make it back?
Your CO2 levels are critical.
But I can still make it back.
There's enough time.
There has to be something I can do.
I'm so sorry, Kainoa.
[SCREAMS]
Kainoa, he's not entirely wrong, you know.
What if something happens while you're out there?
What if he's gone before you come back?
Why would he care?
Huh?
Why?
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
It's stupid.
You weren't here.
I was.
While you were at training, I watched cancer take Mom.
And when Dad fell apart, everything [INAUDIBLE] me.
You need to make this right.
Tonight is your last chance.
And you are going to regret this if you don't.
Kainoa.
Kainoa, you're too far out.
OK.
I'm going to finish this.
What did Grandma do?
She was a geologist.
Isn't that what Uncle Kainoa does?
Yes.
Geologists help us to learn more about the Earth--
what it's made of, how it's formed.
He wanted to be one, just like your grandmother.
Is that why he's flying up there?
Why are you so mad at him?
Didn't Grandma want him to go?
Jada?
Hey, Mom wants you.
I'm not trying to abandon the family.
There's nothing that's going to keep me from going, Dad.
But no matter what, I'm still your son.
I'm sorry that I wasn't here when Mom died.
I wasn't here to say goodbye.
I just wanted you to know that before I leave.
Kainoa.
I never wanted you to be anyone but yourself.
I just lost your mother.
I'm not ready to lose my son, too.
Dad?
We have a successful chain reaction
within the peg matrix and topographical and subterranean
data coming in clear.
Connection with Atlas Major established.
You did it.
Initiate corporate correspondence transmission.
Kainoa Kalewa, chief geoengineer of base 5.
I'm stranded near Sector 1 with a depleted oxygen canister
and suit breach.
I am unable to make it back to base 5
after transport malfunction.
Unable to determine cause due to data corruption.
Requesting internal review.
Over.
I still don't know what caused the energy pack to blow.
Everything in the data logs is blocking me out.
Shall I keep trying?
No, Mavis.
Just file it with corporate.
You know, if I had a physical body,
I'd come out there and carry you back to base myself.
Thanks, Mavis.
I appreciate that.
Mavis?
Hm?
Could you record one last transmission for me?
Personal.
It would be an honor.
Initiating correspondence.
I am Kainoa Kalewa.
My sister is Keala Morris.
Her husband, my brother-in-law, is Jacob Morris.
My niece is Jada Morris.
My mother is Jada Kalewa.
And my dad is David Kalewa.
Tell them I said I love them.
Tell them I said goodbye.
We did it, Dad.
Over.
MAVIS: Relaying transmission now.
Transmission received.
