00:00previous on the ark i really did think i loved you well she's gone you're a giant out of tension
00:07it's not helping you heal don't touch me like that hey medics wanted superior humans augmenting
00:14humans with non-organic devices and the only ship in the galaxy with spare parts just abandoned us
00:19we left dark three pretty intact dropping out of warp we're out of ftl why don't you arc three
00:24or stars gonna wish for a smoother transition
00:42what the hell just happened you just vanished into thin air how is that possible
00:49guys there's something really weird there's no arc three outside and there's no stars
00:56it's weirder than that bryce just vanished
01:19so
01:41well
01:49so
02:19oh well
02:35thank god where have you been why were you woken early are you cured
02:44you've not called me cat in years
02:50uh
02:55the computers keep fritzing i can't identify where we are in the navigation system navigation
02:59won't work it operates by charting the stars and there are no stars
03:06it's like we're stuck in some sort of void something must have happened when we dropped
03:10out of war something that caused the person to vanish where the hell could that be did we even
03:14drop out of war the thing is i don't see the war bubble out there i don't see anything out there
03:18are we sure the cameras are still working they're working i ran diagnostics on them lane
03:27my quarters are intact
03:42oh
03:46this is so weird there's literally nothing out there
03:52strickland to captain garnet please report to the mess hall this really isn't a good time felix
04:01it's um it's urgent
04:11so what's so urgent
04:20cat um i i don't believe we've met but please call me katrina she's british yes
04:28commander lane we've discussed our shared oxford upbringing commander she keeps asking why the ship
04:35is so damaged yes what's happened did we crash while i was in stasis it wasn't damaged when i
04:41went to cryo why is everyone looking at me like that especially my husband he looks like he's seen
04:50a ghost ever since i found him your husband so she says katrina um
05:03how exactly did you end up here um
05:06um well the last thing i remember was going into cryo with will
05:11and then i woke up and the ship was damaged and everyone's acting so strange
05:19well we're acting so strange because god uh how do i say this
05:26you died except that you were american and we were hardly married
05:43i don't know what to say okay clearly this is tied to whatever happened when we dropped
05:50out of warp and bryce disappeared bryce yeah lieutenant james bryce as in the lunar colony
05:55hero what are you talking about james bryce died 10 years ago thwarting an eastern federation attack
06:01wait what did you just say do you mean the old nasa lunar colony yeah he saved hundreds of lives
06:07on that mission but that never happened no one survived my father died in that attack
06:12okay your father didn't die i know him well is this some kind of a sick joke who are you
06:17oh spence hey we gotta get to the bottom of what happened to bryce
06:29captain how can we trust anything she says
06:33it's like an alternate history katrina what arc were you on when you went into cryo arc one okay
06:40bear with me here but perhaps the lack of stars outside means we never completely dropped out of
06:46warp space maybe somehow we got stuck between two quantum based alternate realities what are you
06:51talking about quantum entanglement hypothesis yes it suggests that two particles can become
06:56entangled in such a way that they share a single quantum state i know it's hard to imagine but
07:00it's like there's two versions of arc one and we got entangled is that a real thing yes physicist
07:06erwin schrodinger is most famous for this thought experiment involving a cat in a box
07:10and physicist john bell in the 1960s proposed a way to experimentally test where the quantum
07:14entanglements were real so how do we get unentangled i don't know
07:26but i'll work on it
07:29notice the swelling and the tension around the joints it's gotten worse since yesterday
07:34more eyes and compression he needs an arthroscopy yes thank you for your input dr kabir
07:41but yelena needs to learn and you need to rest do you want me to die of boredom
07:46i want you to get better and who exactly put you in charge i did when you nearly died
07:52mere days ago remember that i walked yesterday remember let me help you walked a meter with my
07:59help and you pooped out you're not ready to be on your feet working with patients
08:03i need something to occupy my mind i'm bored how about occupying your mind with trying to sleep
08:09it's what you need
08:15ow
08:38so
08:55open it stand on the back wall away from the door
09:03so
09:07they said you wanted to see me for some sort of emergency
09:10better be a big one do you hear that hear what i've been hearing voices
09:17ever since we dropped out of warp please please let me follow the voices
09:34so
09:51i can hear the most distinct voices coming from over there
09:58so there's no one in there maybe there's something wrong with your implant oh this
10:04is just a ploy to get time out of your cell i'm not lying and i'm not crazy i'm really hearing voices
10:14someone just said who are you sounded like mr trust
10:20no one seems to bloody believe me that sounded like lieutenant bryce
10:30because our work bubble wasn't at full integrity i think that when we dropped out of ftl we became
10:34entangled in an alternate reality version of arc one that also dropped out of ftl at the exact same
10:38time in the exact same place which is wild to think about yeah wild what are the odds the odds
10:44are actually pretty good there are probably infinite versions of arc one many on exactly
10:48the same path that we are the thing i can't figure out is of all the people on the ship
10:51why were bryce and katrina the ones to leave their reality that is the most important question
10:55we should be focusing on i agree i know that you're working awfully hard ali alicia but could
11:01you possibly go any faster dear i really would like to go home i think kelly heard bryce's voice
11:08what she claimed to be hearing voices and when she repeated the words to me the phrasing
11:13really sounded like bryce said it how is that possible hold on let's consider the source here
11:18kelly is a pathological liar and a murderer i would agree but with kelly's post-human ears
11:23maybe it's possible she really did hear something you have a post-human on board
11:27yes my first job at trust core was researching the physiological impacts of post-human medicine
11:33it's how we met in my work i found the post-humans with artificially augmented
11:37sensors could smell things that only dogs could smell and could hear frequencies that would be
11:41inaudible to the rest of us and if we're entangled in each other's reality it's certainly possible
11:46so bryce is alive
11:50way to get her hopes up well it's not as if she's communicating with the dead but didn't you say
11:56bryce is dead in your world yes he died a hero saving the lunar colony and apparently i'm dead
12:02in your world so you filled each other's spaces in the other's reality is that possible well even
12:08if that were true there would be no way of swapping people back across quantum realities
12:13it's impossible i think it's clear given recent events we don't know what is possible and what
12:18isn't katrina can i get you something the old cat used to really love nail polish would that
12:28be of interest to you excuse me might i be able to meet this post-human that you mentioned
12:37maybe i could give you some insight into her history and abilities it's a great idea we'll
12:41have her brought to med bay well i'll escort you just to make sure you don't get lost so fast
12:46mr trust we need you here please this is kat i want to spend as much time with her as i can
12:55do you always have a guard i'm not exactly trusted around here i gathered that it's a
13:11shame really in my world you're beloved by everyone tell me more about her life yeah
13:16i don't think it's so right there and so wrong here well when i met you you were
13:21quite insecure really brilliant but unsure of yourself you told me that i studied something in
13:28you always said i was the key to your happiness maybe i should have married you and not helena
13:36helena davis that manipulative scientist who tried to bring down trust industries
13:43well she was uh manipulative it's a strong word i don't know about in your reality but in mine
13:48it's the perfect word well she did kidnap me to put me on this ship but i did cheat on her at
13:53every opportunity so perhaps we weren't the best fit well the will i know cut ties with her 20 years
13:59ago i only hope my will is okay he's a good man there right kindest most decent man i know
14:12look don't worry i'll figure this out whether in this reality or the other
14:22the only person in the universe is who could be smarter than me it's me
14:29probably true but the other you would never say that
14:42um i'll just in a minute
15:04i hear you're british now what's this about miss it's doctor actually one of my specialties back
15:10home as post humans really may i
15:19your heart rate is quite high are you aware that her augmentations are on
15:24what i i turned them off after the trial no doctor they're on which is alarming
15:31they leave them on too long it can cause organ failure yes i'm aware of that
15:35but i swear i thought i turned them off
15:39why didn't you tell me about the risk of organ failure i was going to but just haven't had a
15:44moment i apologize kenny what happened again i'm done here wait
16:00wait is there more than one post human where you come from of course who regulates their upgrades
16:09turns their augmentations on or off up or down they regulate themselves really it's quite simple
16:17wait these people don't let you regulate yourself
16:30so alicia where are we there's been very little experimentation done on breaking
16:37quantum entanglements i did not i signed my wedding vows are you going to tell me that
16:44that other version of me can sing too oh not one lick completely turned out but it was sweet
16:51sorry you were saying one possibility would be to create a quantum cup breaking the flow
16:59of quantum information between the two ark ships and how do we do that our only option
17:05brute force we have to move the ship move the ship doesn't leave bryce behind nobody wants
17:11to leave him behind but but if we stay here and do nothing we'll all die when we run out of food
17:20water and life support and we still may never get lieutenant bryce back at least if we try this
17:26we could break free and maybe bryce and katrina will return to where they belong maybe ever ever
17:36this is insane we're not moving this ship without any certainty it's going to work
17:42i couldn't agree more it's far too risky look what if moving the ship causes us to go deeper
17:46into this void what other choice do we have trying to move is our only hope unless somebody
17:54has another idea what do you think bryce would want
18:07firing up the nest i do not approve of this attention all personnel brace for acceleration
18:12yeah hold on tight or you might disappear i'd leave that part out wise accelerating in three
18:21two one
18:32what just happened it was like we got pulled back and snapped by a rubber band
18:38like i said impossible well what the hell are we gonna do now
18:42all right we ready almost
18:53how are we looking ah good timing we're just about to drop out of warp
18:56because we're doing it manually we have to be precise oh what's for visual confirmation
19:02here we go dropping out of warp in three two
19:13well
19:15well we're out of ftl but i don't see arc three or stars what i know we must have damaged our
19:25cameras when we came out of war i don't think so mate i mean couldn't wish for a smoother transition
19:35what just happened
19:36what's going on where did garnett lane just go
19:48where's your hair like that oh jesus christ what the hell and son marco rich what's going on here
19:57i was i was just protecting myself sir this naked man showed up here out of nowhere
20:06man relax it's me what are you gonna come up with a better line than that you perv
20:10i'm not pervy it's me thanks sweetheart can you say something please security report to
20:15engineering come on man it's not really necessary you just showed up naked with
20:19your junk hanging out assaulting this woman yeah i'd say it's necessary look i'm i'm really
20:26sorry about this uh yeah you better be no i mean this
20:56medford what's up an unruly crew member just showed up naked in engineering he fleshed one
21:03of the engineers punched another and ran apparently he looks like commander james bryce
21:09thought he was dead of course he is
21:13you take the low decks i'll take the high we'll meet in the middle on it
21:18so
21:40well hello there handsome aren't you supposed to be in maintenance i'm on a break
21:47so
21:51and don't forget stargazing date in the observation deck tonight how could i forget
22:04so
22:18hey stay there huh don't move what are you talking about stay there
22:34so
22:42so
22:57right yes thank you
23:04seriously
23:05oh thank you all right come on you're okay come on there you go thanks you're all right
23:13is that really you yes look sharon i i don't know what the hell's going on here right it's
23:19like i'm in some kind of dream or something you know oh i thought i'd never see you again
23:27uh you don't look so good i think i think i need to take you to see dr gabir
23:34who dr gabir come on dr kabir never heard of him
23:44no this is this is too weird i think i think maybe something must have happened when we
23:49dropped out of warp right because it's like it's like i i blinked right and now
23:52and now everything's turned around oh i forgot how blue your eyes are
23:59i remember thinking the same thing when you asked me to marry you and then you
24:05you went and died on me say what now uh okay like look um sharon sharon look at me i'm i'm
24:14very much alive okay and secondly right we've never been engaged okay we're just friends that's
24:21it so how are you even real uh sharon listen to me i'm gonna need your help all right i'm gonna
24:26need your help i need to speak to someone who's good with like like uh screwed up warp space
24:32bullshit you know someone like um like alicia do you know alicia nevins
24:40alicia nevins in waste management yep sure yeah where can i find her um she's probably on
24:50deck eight decade right wait wait wait no please don't go yet i'm sorry i really i really have to
24:58but you just get yourself to med bay okay all right
25:14alicia yeah wow you um you really work in waste management hey do you need something yeah so um
25:24so look you don't know me but i know you and i really need your help some toilets backed up you
25:31can wait a few hours no no no no no it's not not that um so it's more um astrophysics or or or um
25:40quantum mechanics or some such shite what the hell are you talking about okay so um
25:47so here's the thing right so um i might be dreaming right now uh maybe i'm hallucinating
25:53i really don't know but but something happened okay and and now it's like i'm in some kind of
25:57parallel universe or something but the thing is right you see in my universe you are like this
26:03this this total freaking genius right and you solve all the problems so what i'm really hoping
26:08really hoping is that maybe you can you can solve this one so you're saying in another universe
26:16i'm a genius
26:21that is the weirdest damn pickup line i've ever heard does that ever work for you no oh no no no
26:26no i'm not i'm not trying to hit on you right have you smelled yourself okay goodbye that was a joke
26:32that was a joke um alicia please i mean i really i really need your help look if you need to know
26:38about water reclamation valve replacement or the chemical makeup of urine i'm your gal
26:44whatever this is i have no idea how to help
26:49haven't you got like five degrees what no i couldn't even afford undergrad
26:54jeez you're talking to me like i'm freaking william trust
26:58william trust of course of course you are brilliant where can i find william trust
27:03that's above my pay grade so maybe he hasn't woken up yet don't move oh
27:09oh hi babe hey look i am really sorry to have to do this to you plant boy
27:20why do you keep calling me plant boy
27:21oh
27:33the asthma cheated on me last week
27:43hey still want to hook up maybe you could help me even the score
27:48okay but um but thank you for the save it's ally and you know where to find me if you change your
27:59mind
28:08so
28:17no keypad why why is there no keypads no no no come on come on
28:27huh
28:34so
28:55please tell me you're smart
28:57where's katerina who my wife where is she i don't know
29:09and who are you i'm lieutenant james bryce
29:15he's dead yeah yeah so they keep telling me which is why i need your help right because
29:22right because ever since we dropped out of ftl basically nothing is making
29:25any sense okay people don't recognize me or or they think that i'm dead and no one seems to
29:31bloody believe me you say you dropped out of ftl yes and no one knows who you are well that's the
29:37thing right that's the thing so they think that they know me but it's not really me okay it's
29:41like some other like version of me i know i know that this must sound crazy the quantum entanglement
29:50huh i've worried our introduction to faster than light travel would inevitably create one
29:56it's a quantum what sorry you may have found yourself in some sort of alternative reality
30:01created by the space time bubble yeah right maybe that you must be very overwhelmed oh yeah just
30:11i'm so sorry this has happened to you
30:13i've got to be honest i can't really tell if you're being genuine or sarcastic right now
30:20sarcasm is not in my nature sir and i want to help you
30:24i should be staying in this cryo until they find a cure for my clam kids but this is far more
30:28important and i have a feeling that my wife's disappearance and your reappearance are connected
30:39wait wait wait wait hang on hang on hang on remember you've got to pressurize your suit
30:43first oh of course did you just say you're clam kids yes i tested a decarbonization technique
30:54on myself didn't end well but at least i'm the only one who got clankings
30:58clankings look um just so you know a bite from a mediterranean recluse spider will
31:08have you right in no time well no first you need a shot of these two other ingredients but i can't
31:13actually remember what they are right now but i'm sure you being you will figure that out thank you
31:23not sure how you know that but uh i'll try it but first we have to solve your problem
31:27and for that we're gonna need the help of captain lane oh you're kidding spencer lane no
31:39so let me get this straight we dropped out of warp and found ourselves in a void
31:46and you dropped out of war and found yourself here yep exactly but you died saving my life
31:55and many others so how are you here at all well that is pretty much the question of the day
32:01to be honest with you mate we weren't supposed to wake you until we found a clampkins cure my
32:07well-being is the least of our problems right now i think i got it dad the reason we got stuck in a
32:12void has something to do with the quantum mechanics of warped space-time you're a bit late with that
32:17information boy my apologies this is my son come on spencer lane mr trust you're awake commander
32:27he'd never have gotten that far without his old man well we can't know that for sure we do know
32:33that we'd never be in our current situation if it wasn't for you and your theories wasn't my fault
32:40we had to drop out of war but arc three to get the part it doesn't matter whose fault it is
32:43how does it captain i believe what your son said before is true i think we're caught between two
32:50alternate realities did you see that i certainly felt it it's like we saw a glimpse of another
33:08arc one what is it mr trust
33:16i think i know how to fix this
33:20i believe we just saw arc one because they were trying to move in their reality but it
33:24didn't work since the ship in this reality didn't also move in the opposite direction
33:28yes that makes sense our two realities are occupying the same time space and the only
33:32way to separate them is before one has to go forwards and the other backwards at exactly
33:36the same time how do we get the timings in sync wouldn't we have to communicate with the other
33:41arc one somehow exactly so i'll recreate the glimpse of the other arc one by moving our ship
33:47in the same way that they did and we'll use that small window of opportunity to send a signal
33:53and if we can see them that means that light waves can pass between our realities which means
33:57that a signal should go through but what kind of signal a radio signal but we might have milliseconds
34:03so at most we'll have time to send a binary file and hopefully the other arc can figure it out
34:08hopefully well it's the only way but once the two realities finally disengage
34:12katerina and bryce can return to their rightful places
34:20are you sure about this mr trust i've run all the calculations twice don't fancy doing that
34:24a third time you know just to make sure i need this to work as much as you do that's my wife
34:29over there believe me i'm as sure as i'll ever be let's stand by for acceleration
34:40brace
34:45send the signal
34:46oh well done mr trust well hopefully the signal will be received
35:07hey can we talk
35:16so are you leaving well i'm trying to
35:23anything i can do to convince you to stay like sean i am
35:34i know you're not really my fiancee i mean you don't really look at me the way he did
35:39but at least this way i can say goodbye
35:54thank you
36:00this is so weird
36:01so that's the signal
36:11what i was so distracted i neglected to include which direction to go huh well hopefully the
36:19other version of myself can figure out the correct direction to go in you forgot to
36:23include the direction well that's that's just great well done did i mention that the u and
36:29my reality is a tall horse a countdown what the hell does this mean we don't have much time
36:38whatever it means it's a message brilliant can someone explain to us why we just saw the other
36:43reality did someone try to move the ship again without consulting me okay first of all we don't
36:48have to consult you on anything and second it wasn't us it was someone in katrina's reality
36:52this time my will probably and they sent us this message why would they send us a timer it's a
36:59countdown to move the ship again we need to move both arcs at the exact same time but he didn't
37:03tell us which direction mr charles is probably navigating from the other reality and he would
37:07go forward so we should go backwards unless of course he's anticipating that we would anticipate
37:11this move so maybe we should go forward 20 seconds alicia please don't screw this up
37:1610 seconds alicia time for a decision
37:21which direction do you think we should go mr trust forward five four you got three two going backwards
37:33four you got three two going backwards one right
37:43the nerves aren't going to withstand it we're pushing too hard
37:47we have to keep going it's the only way the only way to kill us
37:57you missed me oh dear
37:59oh thank god we're so happy to see you guys i mean not this much of you but you know
38:11don't you ever do that again oh believe me none of this was my choice
38:17the stars are back in the sky and the system stopped glitching we did it
38:30i mean it's good to be back pal
38:34uh listen i have to ask did you happen to see my dad while you're over there
38:42it's just that katrina mentioned he was alive on a ship yeah no i i did mate i did
38:48well what was he like
38:50it's just that katrina mentioned he was alive on a ship yeah no i i did mate i did
38:56well what was he like well i mean he was the captain you know
39:03seemed like a really great leader he was and you guys i mean he seemed really close you know
39:15he seemed like he was really proud of his son
39:20so
39:43well well well if it isn't the disappearing man
39:47hmm i missed you lieutenant who else am i supposed to stare at in those endless council meetings
39:54run along kimmy so the fancy lady from the other universe mentioned that in her reality
40:01you were on that lunar mission you know the one that thwarted the eastern federation attack
40:08would seem i'm quite the hero over there
40:11huh i was just wondering were you on that mission in this reality too
40:20come on if it was nobody would have died right right
40:29thanks thanks hope they didn't spoil you with better food over there well you know it's funny
40:34the one constant between all of the space realities is that no matter where you are
40:38the food is still crap i'm really glad you're back
40:45what what you're being weird not being weird
40:52i'm just thinking about the you in the other reality what was i like not the same you know
40:59i will say one thing though
41:02hell of a good kisser
41:03so
41:06what
41:33so
41:37so
42:00approaching arc three
42:02uh do you guys see that
42:13there's a shuttle doctor i wasn't there when we left which means
42:22someone's on arc three
42:31so
