while a woman explains that it is a
planet humans can colonize she continues
saying that a scouting mission to the
planet should be sent since the voyage
there will take 86 years the crew of the
mission will reproduce on the ship
making the third generation on board the
one to reach the planet the crew is
genetically engineered on earth by
combining the genes of leading
scientists a man is seen talking about
the reasoning behind this plan
justifying why the crew will be
specifically engineered to man the
mission consisting of children raised
and trained solely for its purpose
the next step is assessing when they'll
be ready to go
the younger the crew is the longer the
resources can be preserved but the man
richard is worried that they might not

complexity of space travel on their own
later richard is seen entering a
facility where the child crew is being
raised and he gets into full protective
gear he enters the rooms where they live
and when they see him they all rejoice
richard monitors where they are in their
education and then tucks christopher
selah and zach into bed
zack tells him that he's afraid but
richard comforts him by telling him that
he's safe the next day richard is
talking to a woman in charge of the
mission he tells her that he should go
with the children to raise and protect
them
richard's addition to the mission would
also mean that it will be able to launch
in four years instead of seven
next the mission launches with richard
on the helm
the shuttle docks with humanitas the
ship for the mission they all go inside
and find their quarters
richard takes one last look of earth
10 years later the children are already
adults as they can be seen waking and
getting ready to start their days on the
ship
the first lesson covers the
fertilization for the second generation
which will begin in the 24th year of
their lives the crew goes about their
day like robots
they're seen drinking a blue liquid
christopher and zach are listening to
classical music
selah walks through the ship and looks
out at the space around them
later she talks to richard saying that
the lives of the crew are unimportant
trying to comfort her he shows her
pictures of his grandparents telling her
that providing for the future is very
important that night christopher can't
sleep
he listens to the sounds of the ship the
next day richard and christopher are in
the hydroponics bay checking the state
of the plants when a message about
toxicity in the water appears on
christopher's screen
he asks richard about it thinking it's
some kind of chemical that isn't being
processed from their urine but richard
dismisses his concerns
he's skeptical about it
so later he asks zack about the
ingredient t-56j
they wonder why the information is
unavailable during the night the two of
them go back to figure out what it is
christopher bypasses the firewall and is
able to find the information
the chemical ingredient is found in the
blue liquid they drink
zach thinks it was a digestion aid but
they figure out that it has other
effects on their personality it makes
them dull and docile decreasing their
desires and pleasure responses
they're being drugged and pacified so
they don't reproduce naturally and
overpopulate the ship the two of them
stop drinking the blue liquid
later they share the information with
kai and julie
along with the information about a
hidden compartment on the ship
later christopher is in a session with
richard he says he knows that he's been
lying to them but only mentions the
unmarked compartment pod 23
richard tells him that the mission must
have lied to them for a reason that the
pod might be for the third generation
after the session richard sends a
message back to earth asking if he could
share everything with the crew and be
honest with them so they don't lose
faith in him the message will take time
to get there
the next day while standing in line next
to stella christopher has a fantasy
about her they eat lunch and he keeps
looking at her but zack approaches her
telling her that she's changed
richard comes in and tells him not to
grab her as per the rules
in the gym christopher and zach are seen
fighting and taking it a bit too far
the others don't understand what's
happening
the two of them start feeling the
effects of not taking the drug
they hear the ship noises and go to an
observation room where they see one of
their fellow crew members the three of
them talk about what it might be so he
tells them that he thinks it might be
some kind of alien life form
stella and richard are in his office and
he shows her dried plants from earth
zach and christopher hear them talking
and approach the room
zach sees richard touching cella's
shoulder and gets jealous

informs them that their transmitter
needs to be fixed
zach will come with him while the others
continue with their roles the
preparations are underway as zack sees
cella and approaches her again

wearing and he starts touching her
inappropriately richard runs in and gets
him off of her he asks sack what's
happening but he runs away looking for
him richard sees phoebe on the way and
she tells him that he stopped taking the
blue
next he runs into christopher and finds
out that he stopped taking the drug as
well
they argue but richard tells him that
the drug was implemented to stop
precisely the type of behavior witnessed
in zack he asks christopher to help him
fix the transmitter so that when it's
online he'll back him up when he voices
his objections to mission control
all of the other crew members are on
their positions in the ship while prep
for the space walk is underway
zack enters the system's room richard
and christopher go outside the ship
christopher is experiencing sensations
he hasn't felt before so richard keeps
an eye on him
richard repairs one of the transmitter
parts then goes over to the second one
inside the ship the noises from the ship
can be heard again and the crew is
getting restless
they check to see if anything else is
outside and suddenly something appears
on the screen next to richard and
christopher it hurts richard hurling him
away from the ship the ship has some
kind of malfunction as well no one knows
what has happened
there is a fire in the system's room
christopher brings richard inside and
they take him to medical
all kinds of errors appear on the ship
from navigation to communication
the medical team and sela are trying to
resuscitate richard but it doesn't work
sela is the chief medical officer and
pronounces him dead
later the crew has a meeting where they
speak about what has happened
they mention the creaking sound
one of the crew members says he saw
something on the monitor when it
happened that looked like a force
jumping into richard like it was
something alien
phoebe starts crying christopher
comforts them saying that if they keep
it together they'll be all right the
systems reboot and the crew is checking
the surveillance archive but all of the
footage has been deleted by the fire in
the system's room
they need to choose a new chief officer
zach says that he should be chief
but the others say that they need an
election
all of them vote and place christopher
as chief officer
zach is jealous but congratulates him
regardless first order of business is
repairing the damage in the transmitter
he gets the entire crew working on the
other repairs on the ship caused by the
fire the surveillance system is the last
thing on the repair list so they can see
what happened to richard they hope the
drives are intact
sella goes to his office and looks
through his pictures and videos when
christopher arrives at the door
she tells him that she is supposed to
destroy his personal archive even though
she doesn't want to do it she shows him
richard's photographs and they talk
about the importance of parents he asks
why richard told her about his life
thinking that they might have been more
than friends but she explains that he
was just feeling alone they looked
through his video diary where he
explains how much he believes in the
mission and talks about how much he
cares for them christopher is looking
for the crew and finds them in the
cantina angry that they're not at their
posts
zach tells him that they're repairing
the refrigerators so they don't lose any
food but there's a bunch of food that
might go bad so he asks him if they can
have a feast to celebrate their new
chief officer
after they eat tai tells the others not
to drink the blue and they all dump it
stella and christopher are looking
through richard's videos laughing and
enjoying themselves
christopher feels increasingly more
attracted to her
zach feels attracted to julie he touches
her and she touches him back
the others are looking at them
later the crew can be seen play fighting
and running around the ship having fun
they all look through richard's personal
archive
sela finds them in his quarters and
tells them to leave but they don't want
to
zach is the last to leave telling cella
that richard isn't there anymore to
protect her she goes back to the med bay
and grabs a scalpel christopher is
following zach worried he might do
something to sella when he finds out
that she's in the med bay and goes there
before zach can
zach arrives and christopher pretends
that the two of them are making love so
he leaves
stella threatens him with a scalpel not
understanding his intentions but when he
says he's there to help her she says he
should help the rest of the crew because
they're getting out of control
christopher leaves and finds zack along
the way telling him to stay away from
sella when they hear the strange
crackling noise again
he follows it around the ship as others
can hear it too kai sees julie getting
close to another crewman so he flies
into a rage and punches him off her they
fight
later in the cantina christopher tries
to get the crew to behave but they don't
like it suddenly the crewman that kai
beat up starts hitting him with a tool
christopher stops him by hitting him too
he tells everyone to get kai and the
other one treated and then to meet at
the common room in the meeting he tells
everyone that the fighting has to stop
and the reparations have to continue
zach challenges him and the others think
that they shouldn't be doing the work
because they won't get to the end of the
mission
christopher says that their
grandchildren will and that they need to
support them one of the crew members
says he doesn't want to work in the
system's room because the alien lives
there he thinks christopher brought it
in when richard died
phoebe suggests they repair the
surveillance system and see what
happened but zach belittles her and
tells christopher to shut up too
he doesn't care about the rules anymore
and tries to get the others on his side
saying christopher isn't the right
leader zack thinks he should be the
leader and tries to convince the rest of
them to become a part of his group which
will be strong enough to fight the alien
if it's there
many of the crew follow him but some of
them stay on christopher's side that
group goes to the surveillance room to
fix the system afraid the alien might be
there
christopher goes in first to check
zach and the others roam the hallways
and reach the system's room him and kai
go inside the room not knowing
christopher has been in there too
they go deeper inside the room to look
for the alien the ones on the outside
see something happening inside and zach
and kai run out terrified sealing the
room as they leave
later they tell the others from the
group that the alien attacked them
meanwhile christopher brings the
surveillance drive to sell it in the med
bay
him her and a few others check the
footage they find the footage from the
system's room and realized that it was
zack and kai that killed richard by
electrocuting him then lied about the
alien the group decides to keep quiet
for the moment until they figure out
what to do
christopher and cella hide the drive in
her room and talk about zach he thinks
that this is what they're really like
without the drug but she disagrees
saying that the two of them are
different he says that he's worried that
the others won't care about the truth
and that maybe he doesn't care either
stella tells him to stay with her they
kiss and they sleep together
in the morning there's a knock on sela's
door it's zack saying that he'll come
inside one way or another when she and
christopher open the door zack and kai
invite them to another celebration in
the cantina christopher's group arrives
while the others are already eating
zach invites them to get some food
when they sit down he stands up and
proclaims himself the new chief officer
suddenly christopher stands up to goes
to a monitor and plays the footage from
the incident he tells the others that
zach killed richard and that there is no
alien that he's been lying to them he
suggests zach can finds himself in his
room while they consult the program and
they decide what to do
everyone gets upset and zach confesses
saying he did it to protect them because
the alien was in richard and christopher
brought it inside
he convinces the others that the alien
is inside the ship hiding in one of them
zack says that they need to find it and
kill it to which they all agree
he pits them against each other and they
start fighting they think it's the
crewman that works in the med bay and
they start chasing after him christopher
follows suit kai hates him first then
the others join as they kick the crewman
to death
christopher takes his group to a secure
place in the ship while zach's group
goes into the med bay and they arm
themselves christopher's group tries to
figure out what to do and some of them
want to give up saying they can't do
anything in the moment they think they
should join zach's group and try to
detain him later because his group has
weapons and they don't
seller realizes that christopher knows
about the weapons hidden on the ship in
the secret compartment
christopher goes to find it by himself
he opens a compartment and crawls inside
searching for it when he finally finds
it he can open it and an alarm starts
blaring which julie and another crewman
hear
they hear him inside the compartments
too and tell zach about it christopher
gets out to get some tools to open the
compartment but when he comes back the
other group is already taking the
compartments apart they open the secret
compartment and find the weapons kai
thinks they're meant for the third
generation but zack says they are for
them
two people from christopher's group want
to join zach and the others
zach asks where the rest are hiding
sella phoebe and christopher devise a
plan how to get close to zach
he suggests that he should kill him but
phoebe doesn't like it
sela watches them on the monitor and
sees that they're moving coming after
them
they cut their power and arrive at the
room
cella tells her group not to resist as
the other storm the room and grab them
sela stops them as they are dragging
christopher away and asked to talk
privately to zac
she says she wants to be with him and
join his group as she walks up to him
but he rejects her laughing at her when
phoebe appears asking if they've all
gone crazy
she says they can decide not to act the
way they have
but they all tell her to shut up
suddenly kai kills her to the shock of
everyone including zach but he turns it
around and goes after christopher he and
cella escape but the others hunt for
them throughout the ship they hide in a
vent but the others quickly find which
one it is
zach shoots inside as julie tells him to
be careful because he's destroying their
food supply he sends one of his men
after them to see if he got them but
they escape again
suddenly someone shoots at them so they
start looking for weapons
christopher finds a fire extinguisher
and this guy comes inside the med bay
they incapacitate him and accidentally
kill him zach finds them fast and shoots
after them as they run away
they get into an airlock and christopher
tells cella to get into a spacesuit he
covers the window of the airlock
when zack reaches it he shoots without
hesitation
suddenly he's sucked inside because the
hatch to the outside has been opened he
grabs cella and goes to close the hatch
fighting with her and eventually
stabbing her with a knife
christopher pushes him outside the hatch
but as they fight ends up sucked out in
space himself
before zach can close the hatch cella
kicks him out of it she searches for
christopher waiting for him to come back
and suddenly sees him grabbing onto the
ship
the two of them come back inside and
tell the others that zak is gone they
put down their weapons
some time later all of the crew is
having lunch in the cantina
selah asks christopher how they can make
sure something like that doesn't happen
again
they listen to some of richard's
recordings again in which he says that
no matter what bad happens on the
mission the ones that prevail are proof
that humans are worth saving the crew
votes for a new chief again and they
choose sella she records a diary in
which she says that they will vote for
everything from that moment on and that
they will still not go back to the blue
