The message is 31 hours old.
Then we might still be able to help.
What do we know?
"Ark 16" was one of the last Arks
to launch under GSA command.
Where are they now?
Dena-197,
listed in our database
as a colonization candidate.
Could someone be challenging
them for the planet?
Statistically unlikely.
Not everyone is as open
to peace as you are, Captain.
Maybe it's "EF1."
Avega still hasn't been
able to contact them.
Maybe they missed the memo
that the war is over.
Or it could also be a trap.
Drake is still searching for you.

Seriously?
You were screaming when
that thing electrocuted you.
Has the object been dormant
since it attacked Kelly?
Yeah.
But only after half of it
changed to English.
That would explain the results I got
from a diagnostic I ran
on Kelly's implants.
It looks like your brain's CPU
sent out a massive data signal
when you were shocked.
I wonder if somehow
your augmentations connected
to the slab and triggered
a reverse subcarrier wave.
I love you, but sometimes
I don't understand the words
that come out of your mouth.
I think the slab
learned English from Kelly
through her implants.
Like it copied a whole language
from her brain.
So it's just lucky
we have a post-human
that can connect with
the technology in this lab?
Or the people from the cave
discovered your implants
when you were their prisoner.
Wait, does that mean
that the triangle device
that activated the slab was
left specifically for Kelly?
So you think I was targeted?

Thank you for helping
prove my innocence, Zed.
We stand together or we fall alone.
I gave Lati work release
in exchange for her aid,
but she's worried about retribution.
I don't blame her.
We don't know who among us
is Black Thorn
and still loyal to Ves.
Including some people
working in security.
Anyone on "Ark 11" is a suspect.
Just because they aren't from "Ark 11"
doesn't preclude them from being part
of another Black Thorn unit.
So what are you saying?
We can't trust any former GSA members
of the security team?
What I'm saying is
we don't know if we can.
Which is why I'd like to
put a former EF security man
in charge.
Agreed.
On an interim basis until
we round up Ves and her team.

Trust to Felix.
I'm studying this object you found
and, well, it'll be easier to explain
if you just come back out here.
Divide and conquer?
[BIRDS SINGING]
Well, this is quite the puzzle
you've discovered here, Felix.
Look at the scorching.
Look how the ground is disturbed.
This is an impact radius.
It fell from the sky?
I think this fell from orbit.
This appears to be part
of a piece of machinery
that fused under the heat of reentry.
It's debris. From what?
Too damaged to tell.
All I do know is that it's not ours.
It's not from something in orbit?
EF2 or one of those
fore-section bulbs?
No, they're all intact. I checked.
This has been here for
at least a year, maybe more.
How can you be sure?
Well, the trees are scorched,
but we're still in the shade.
This has been here long enough
for the canopy to regrow.
That explains why
we never saw it in flyovers.
Mr. Trust, we found
more debris to the east.
Like, a lot more.

Big surprise.
Erica, is it?
Yes, sir.
I appointed a man I served with
because I know I can trust him.
Of course, sir.
Does anyone else have an opinion?
Dismissed.
There are still unidentified
Black Thorn members.
Some of them could be among your men.

all the former GSA of duty?

catch a rat inside your house

have picked it up down there.

Sorry I'm late.
I've been analyzing the
air sample you brought back.
- What's the verdict?
- Not good.
The particulate replicates
at an extremely high rate.
The rash you described
in the "Ark 16" crew
is likely a histamine reaction.
- So it's a virus.
- No, it's not viral.
It's also not bacterial or parasitic.
It it behaves in ways
I don't understand.
Can you stop it?
Not until I run more tests
and figure out exactly what it is.
We don't have time to wait.
The "Ark 16" crew is
at each other's throats.
Some of them have
already killed each other.
Can we sedate them until
Doc Kabir figures out a cure?
Not remotely.
I could take a squad over,
put a sedative into their system.

That was intense.

How are you feeling now?
[SIGHS] Embarrassed.
What did you do?
UV disinfectant wand.
I turned off the safeties
and cranked it up,
but it's only a temporary solve.
'Cause we don't have time
to use it on the whole crew?
Well, and the spores are
still in the air.
So we're already reinfected.
Probably.
But I have an idea.
There's a small amount of UV
in our lighting system.
Yeah, to combat depression
from lack of sunlight.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
You want to turn "Ark 1" into
a giant disinfectant wand.
Yeah. If we can figure out
how to recalibrate
the environmental system?
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Well, I do happen to have an
engineer tied up in my cabin.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]
It's only gonna hurt
a minute, I promise.
But I have to kill the infection
- that's making you sick!
- [GROANS]
Almost there, almost there!
All done.
Space virus? Really?
- Space fungus.
- Same difference.
Uh, big difference.
A fungus we can kill by
adjusting the UV in our lights
to disinfectant levels.
Assuming you know how to do that.
Just get me to the server room.
I'll crank it up as high as it goes.
Uh, it's more complicated than that.
If you push the UV wavelength
above 222 nanometers,
you will blind the entire ship.
Ah.
So no pressure then.

We lost 39 souls.
They were good people.
I have no doubt.
What exactly happened?
We followed protocol and sent
the scout team to the planet.
They came back
at each other's throats.
Well, we'll put a beacon
into orbit to warn others
that Deno-197 isn't habitable.
Thank you.
Where do we go now?
After years in space,
