- [Computer] Welcome to Mimas Academy.
Application pending review.
(mechanisms whirling)
(foreboding music)
(creature grunting)
(alarm sounding)
- [Zohra] Are they gonna live?
- Doing the best we can, sweetheart.
That surge must've messed up the systems.
- [Computer] C1N, this is command station R294.
State your nature of business.
- [Kaiden] Ship's in need of immediate repairs,
port-side combustion unit failure.
We've lost multiple stations.
- [Computer] Proceed to Port 406.
(tense music)

(dramatic music)
- [Computer] Stay in order.
- Hey, kiddo.
- Are we gonna lose the ship, Dad?
- Doesn't look good right now.
Our hole just got a whole lot deeper.
Hey, hey, look at me.
We've been here before, we'll get out again, right?
What do we always say?
- Ain't nothing. - Yeah.
Hey, I gotta go talk to this guy.
Okay, you stay here.
Don't go running off.
(yelling in foreign language)
(slaves grunting)
(slave-keeper chuckling)
Look, this, this doesn't make sense.
All right, like, why can't, why can't you just patch that?
- Patch-o?
(speaking foreign language)
- Yeah, but 90,000?
(speaking foreign language)
Okay, okay, okay, hey.
(speaking foreign language)
Well, I don't got 90,000.
I barely got enough for fuel to get us off this damn rock.
(speaking foreign language)
Just.
(speaking foreign language)
- [Man] How long have you had it?
- For about 12 years.
My old man had it before me.
Bought it brand new.
Grew up on her.
- [Man] Why do you wanna sell it?
- Didn't want my daughter
growing up like a cargo rat like me.
Think it's time we just settle down.
- Well, this one's in really rough shape.
I'll give you 300 for her, and that's being generous.
- 300?
3!
I can get more for that if I scrap it.
- That's the idea.
(raucous music)
- Daddy?
I'm hungry.
- There's a few more meal packs on board.
We can have those.
- No, I mean real food.
Like Mom used to make.
- Hey.
There's a canteen over there, I think.
I'll see if there's some decent I can bring back.
Okay?
- Pardon my interruption.
Are you Mr. Kaiden Katar?
The captain of this vessel.
- I am.
- I was informed of your unfortunate circumstances.
I hope your losses were minimal.
We could've at least saved a few
if you would've provided us with some heaters.
- My sincere apologies.
We were at full capacity and of limited resources.
We're happy to waive your disposal fees.
- Gee, thanks.
- Word around here is that
you're looking to sell your vessel.
- Yeah, yeah I am.
But if you're gonna low-ball me like those other guys,
you're wasting your time.
- I'm here to propose an opportunity.
(dramatic music)
My client has a very delicate product
that he needs transported to Janaya,
and he's willing to pay top dollar.
Enough to repair your ship and pay your debts
with money to spare.
- What kind of product?
- This is my client's ship.
- No.
- 700,000 is what my client is willing to pay,
in addition to repairs to your ship.
- Please, Dad.
Don't do this.
- We don't deal in the slave trade.
- You are a bloody fool.
For every hour this poor excuse for a ship
sits on this platform, additional fees will incur.
I expect those charges to be paid
in a timely manner before your departure.
(melancholic music)
- Hey, kiddo. - Hey, Dad.
- I knew you'd be in here.
Should've seen the characters in that place.
Not your friendliest bunch.
- Well, at least you didn't get into a fight this time.
- Who said I didn't?
- Dad. - I'm just kidding.
Come on, let's go, let's eat.

(dramatic music)
- [Etienne] You have made a wise choice, Mr. Katar.
However, I must say I have some fresh concerns.
- Oh, yeah?
What are your fresh concerns?
- You seem to be a man of high moral fiber.
Not exactly the type of man I would normally hire
for such a job.
- Let's just say I'm more of a man of my word.
You got nothing to worry about.
Your product will get there as promised.
- Very well, I will accept your word.
However, I must insist that my associate,
Rotik, accompany you.
- No, no, no, no, no, no.
That wasn't part of the deal.
- My client has insisted.
He wants to ensure that his goods
are transported as planned.
- I will be no trouble, I assure you.
- I'm not gonna let just some Jofarian mutant on my ship.
You understand me?
He's not, I don't let just anybody.
I don't even know you.
- My client will not release the funds
unless Rotik is on board, Mr. Katar.
(foreboding music)
He's an excellent copilot
and he requires very little rest.
- Fine.
I can use the sleep.
- [Etienne] Excellent, we will begin the transfer process
in the morning.
The repairs to your ship will be completed by mid-day.
(foreboding music continues)

- Zohra, Zohra.
Look, if I didn't do this, somebody else would have.
- [Zohra] You promised Mom you would never do this again.
You lied to me.
- Yeah, well I also promised your mom
that I would give you a better life.
I'm doing the best I can here, kid.
(thunder crashing)
(alarm sounding)
(ship rattling)
Funnel 15.
(engine roaring)
(dramatic music)
Zack. - Yes, Captain?
- Are the funds in the account yet?
- [Zack] Yes, Captain, half of the amount had been deposited
and I have made the transfer to Mimas Academy,
as you have instructed.
- Good.

- [Zack] Sir, please return to the flight deck immediately.
It is urgent.
- I'm on my way.
Zack, what's going on?
- [Zack] There is a ship approaching
at a very high rate of speed,
bearing 180.
- [Rotik] Must've followed us from Agaho.
- [Zack] Captain, early readings indicate it is a ship
commissioned by Amira Shipyards.
Model J-9.
- It's an inspection ship.
- We don't know that yet.
(tense music)
- [Zack] It is a high probability, Captain.
The model J-9 is a newer model used exclusively
by Quadrant Command.
We do not have the power to outrun it.
At its current speed,
it will be here in approximately seven minutes.
- You must eject the cargo.
- What?
No, no, we can't do that.
There's over 200 of 'em in there.
You can't just eject them.
- The other choice is 20 years hard labor.
Then you will be the slave.
(tense music continues)
I will begin the sequence.
(alarm sounding)
(child crying)
(tense music continues)
- Look, I know you don't think much of 'em anyway,
but there are innocent families down there.
Children.
Just give 'em a chance.
- You are a good man.
(Kaiden grunting)
But I am a smarter man.
(alarm sounding)
(Kaiden grunting)
(ominous music)
(Rotik grunting)
(Kaiden coughing)
(Kaiden choking)
- [Val] C1N, this is Captain Val Tarwin
with Quadrant Command.
Decelerate to cruising speed
and prepare your vessel for immediate inspection.
(Rotik grunting)
I repeat, decelerate and prepare your vessel
for immediate inspection.
(door opening)
(dramatic music)
(slaves grunting)
- Oh, oh.
(dramatic music continues)
- Dad?
- We'll give you both some time alone.
- I am so sorry, kiddo.
(melancholic music)
You're gonna love it here.
You deserve to be here.
Hey, you're gonna make some new friends.
Baby, you're gonna breathe fresh air.
Eating your favorite foods.
No more meal packs.
- I don't care about any of that.
I don't want you to be alone.
(melancholic music continues)
Daddy, don't go. - It's okay.
- Daddy, don't.
- It's okay.
- Please. - It's okay.
