The Lucky Ones

1
Previously on "The Ark"
I was the love of your life.
I don't remember any of this.
John Doe wrote this "fix or die."
We saw lava bubbling up
from the ground
at about the 21K mark.
Seems to be moving towards Homebase.
Yeah, bottom line our new
home planet is going to hell.
It says "magnetic field
manipulation activated."
Weapon that has the ability
to control a sun.
We're looking for a Gen-3 G-44.
- It's for the fight.
- I'll fight in her place.
And you have to let my crew
and the Gen-3 go.
Okay, what are we looking at?
This is the culmination of our work
over the past weeks.
It's a gene therapy
I believe is the cure
for the Gen-3 psychopathy.
That's amazing, Sanji.
Oh, I synthesized it
using Dr. Hall's work
and the information I gleaned
from your genetic differences.
And it works?
Well, I ran in vivo tests,
and the results are promising,
but there's only one way
to guarantee the drug's efficacy
Gen-3 trial.

- Will it hurt her?
- I can't be sure.
Could she be any worse off
than she is now?
Let's do it. How can I help?
[SCREAMING]
Uh, you might want to stay back
'cause she obviously gets agitated
every time she sees you.
[CONTINUES SCREAMING]
Ian, you could help restrain her.

Hey.
Hey, hey, hey. It's all right. Shh.
- It's okay.

Okay. It's okay.
Uh, I don't like syringes either.
I can't do the injection with
her flailing around like this.
The needle could break off in her arm!
- All right.

Look, hey, hey, hey, hey.
I know you're scared,
but you can trust us.
We want to help you.
We want to help you.
That's it.
It's okay. It's okay.

You're okay.
It's all right. Look at me.
All done, all done.

Now what?
Now we wait.
She'll be okay, though, right?

[UPLIFTING MUSIC]
♪
So you're saying
the underground people
weaponized the sun
to fry "EF1's" electronics
and crash the ship?
The theory is that someone
weaponized the sun.
- We still don't know who did it.
- Oh, come on.
I've said this before.
It's it's obvious.
It's the weapon
that they want her to fix.
Come on, look,
here, "hostiles detected."
That's probably "EF1."
"Magnetic field
manipulation activated."
And then after that,
it says "damage fatal error."
Clearly, it broke
right after they used it
to kill hundreds of my people
and my son!
Or it broke
after somebody else used it.
Like who?
Please tell me, who was on this planet
before any of us got here?
If the weapon is broken
it's not a problem, right?
So maybe we should be more concerned
about everything that's going
wrong with the planet itself.
We did another flyover yesterday.
Lava pools have grown half
a kilometer closer to Homebase,
and the oxygen levels
are getting lower.
And what about the earthquakes
we've started having?
Seems like that stuff
is more likely to kill us
than a broken weapon.
Maybe the people in the tunnels
want us to fix the whole planet.
I mean, they did show
Kelly and me a chamber
of rising lava
when we were down there.
Brice, I think you and Eva
should increase the flyovers.
You can do one after the briefing.
But why why can't you do that?
I'm busy putting together
another security team.
The last one was rife
with Black Thorn.
[SCOFFS] Why can't Felix do that?
The choices are mostly former EF.
Zed knows them better than anyone.
Exactly.
And while you're up there
flying around,
can you please look for the weapon?
Surely we can all agree
that we need to at least
figure out where it is, right?
I mean, you don't think
with the amount of flyovers
we've done since we've been here,
we would have seen it by now?
Eva, maybe you could run
some IR and EM scans,
see if anything anomalous comes up
indicating where it could be.
Yeah, I can do that
maybe a terrain scan too.
But the priority is to survey
environmental changes
so we can figure out the cause.

I'm sorry the idea
of spending time with me
is so terrible.
I don't mind spending time with you.
- [CLEARS THROAT]
- "Don't mind."
I just feel like I keep
hurting your feelings,
you know, 'cause my memory's
all messed up.
It does hurt
but I know it's not your fault.
But it is, though.
Every time I'm with you
it twists the knife, doesn't it?
We just need to wait for your memories
to come back, that's all.
What if they don't?
[THUNK] Ah! Okay.
Uh, we are getting hit
by some thermal currents.
I'm just gonna sweep us around.
I'm getting an EM anomaly
20 degrees east.
Yeah, got a visual of something below.
It's the symbol Kelly was
writing over and over again.
What the hell?
- Better get a recording of that.
- Have to get a record of this.
Sorry. Um, I'll just get us
a bit closer.
Homebase, you are not gonna
believe what we have just seen.
[SCOFFS] I'm gonna transmit you

I mean I can't get the shuttle
to move from this damn spot
that's what I mean!
Ah, come on.
♪
What the hell was that?
It felt like we hit something.
Well, there's nothing to hit.
We're 200 feet in the air
with clear lines of sight
in every direction.
It could have been
an atmospheric disturbance
an updraft, a heat bubble.
Homebase, listen, we had
a bit of a scare back there,
but I think we're okay.
We're just gonna head back
to base, check for damage.
Homebase?
Do you read?
Must have fried our comms.
♪
Avega.
Hey, listen, don't worry. We're fine.
What the hell's his problem?
The shuttle went offline
mid-transmission.
I've been trying them
over and over on comms,
but they're not responding.
Could something be causing
interference,
jamming the signal?
Guys, relax. We're right here.
The shuttle's location beacon vanished
when they went offline.
- So they crashed?
- I'm not sure.
I've tried pinging
the shuttle's computer system.
Uh, hello! Guys, we are right here
I'm sorry. Are they are they
messing with us right now?
They can't see us.
Come with me.
[WARBLING]
- What?
- I don't know.
Hey! [SNAPPING FINGERS] Look at me!
Hello?

Dr. Kabir.
She's coming to.
Paul?
Uh, no, sorry. My name's Ian.
What's your name?
Um
I can't remember.
Oh.
Uh, yeah. Um
[BOTH SIGH]
Let's get you out of here, eh?
What are you doing?
Oh, come on, I mean, she's
obviously not violent anymore.
Unless there's any chance
the drugs can wear off.
No, it doesn't work that way.
It's a gene therapy.
That single dose
made permanent changes.
Where am I?
You're on "Ark 1."
We gave you a drug to treat
your Gen-3 psychopathy.
- How do you feel?
- Uh
a little woozy.
I, um
I can't remember my name.
That's okay.
I-it'll probably come
back to you with time.
For now, how about
we call you Jenny?

How is she?
She's lucid.
She'll need a full workup,

Mm.

- I'm Sharon Garnet.
- Hi.
I'm so glad to see
you're feeling better.
Thank you.

Ah [CHUCKLES]
I'm curious
do you remember anything
about your life on "Ark 22"
like what your job was
or what you liked to do
with your leisure time?
I really don't remember.
But I get the feeling
you and I were friends.
[CHUCKLES] Not me.
But there were a lot of G-44 clones
who looked like you and me
on "Ark 22."
So I was probably friends
with one of them.
Oh, more than likely.
I'm happy to report your blood work
all came back normal.
And brain scans show
all the Gen-3 lesions
are completely gone.
That's great.
So am I, uh, free to go?
I-I'd love to stretch my legs
and see the ship.
Um
actually, I-I'd really like
to run more tests,
just to make sure
I'm not missing anything.
Uh, I think we can let her
walk around for a few hours.
Come on, keeping her here
is like keeping her prisoner,
especially now she's feeling better.
Let me show her around the ship.
All right, I
but if you start feeling
anything unusual,
- come see me right away.
- Of course, I promise.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Mm.
So, Jenny
did you know that "Ark 1"
is actually renowned
for its fine cuisine?
You're kidding, right?
- Yep.
- [CHUCKLES]
- [SIGHS]
- Why are people staring at me?
Oh, I don't think
they're staring at you.
Uh, maybe they're just a bit curious
about the scar on your forehead?
Oh.
It's fine. I just
look, it looks it looks perfect.
Really.
Thank you for being so kind.
Ah, don't mention it.
I've had my fair share of being
poked and prodded around
in the lab, being treated
like just another J6-82, so
- I'm so sorry.
- No, don't be.
I'm one of the lucky ones.
I got out alive.
- [CHUCKLES]
- I'm here now.
So I don't mind helping out
a fellow clone when I can.
- [CHUCKLES]
- So
tell me about this lookalike.
- Uh, Paul, was it?
- My husband.
Yeah. Was he a Gen-3, too, or?
Even after I turned,
I missed him every day.
Maybe that's why he's
the only thing I can remember.
So you really can't remember
anything else?
Not really.
It's hazy.
Um, I remember pieces,
like snapshots of my life
before I turned.
[GIGGLES] But I'm better now, so
So
uh, you were pretty eager
to show me around.
Mm-hmm.
Are you trying to get
to know me know me, Mr. Ian?
[GIGGLES]
Oh, uh
[CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY] No.
Um, I mean, y-you know,
you seem great and everything,
uh, but, no.
- I'm I'm actually taken, so
- Oh.
Yeah, I mean, I'm I'm sorry
if I gave you the wrong idea.
Uh,
we could be friends.
No apologies needed.
Friends
I would I would love to be friends.
[SOFT APPREHENSIVE MUSIC]
Okay.
Great.
- [CHIME]
- What?
What is it?
Um
before I start mass-producing this
as a genetic treatment,
I just wanted to,
you know, dot all my I's
and cross all my T's.
So I rechecked Jenny's latest scans,
and I found an anomaly.
Okay.
At first pass, I chalked it
up to a glitch in the scanner.
You know, I made some adjustments,
and I realized it wasn't a glitch.
She has an elevated EMF output.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
EM, like, as in EM pulse weapon?
Similar, except it's a
constant electromagnetic field,
not a targeted pulse.
I mean, obviously, it's a lot weaker.
You know, we all emit very low levels
from the electric activity
in our brains.
But Jenny's neural scans show
an abnormally high output.
So I checked her magnetite levels.
They are very elevated.
Uh, "magnetite"?
Yeah, they're tiny magnetic
crystalline particles
we all have in our brains.
Most of us have millions.
Jenny appears to have billions.
Can this hurt her?
I mean, should we be calling
her back to Med Bay?
No, I'm hoping it's just
the residual effect
from the Gen-3 psychopathy.
You know, let's give her some time.
Hopefully her brain will clear
the magnetites and
and normalize.

- Okay, try Port 17.
- 17.
Someone told me I'd find you here.
Ah, Garnet.
Oh, Jenny.
Um, Mr. Trust, I don't believe
you've officially met Jenny.
Ah, the miracle patient.
- Pleasure.

What can I do for you?
Uh, nothing. I just wanted to see you.
Oh.
Yeah, well, I'm kind of in the
middle of something right now
Wow. Do you understand all that?
Yeah. Yeah, I do, actually.
It's it's all pretty simple.
Look, have you met anyone else
on the ship
or or perhaps seen
the Observation Deck?
I don't mean to be rude,
but could you pick this up
after we finish?
I can't do this on my own.
Sorry, I-I really must
get back to this.

Do you have any theories on
what could've happened to them?
I'm not sure, but when
the shuttle went offline,
I picked up
a zero-point field fluctuation.
"Zero-point field fluctuation"?
Could that have been caused
by the shuttle exploding?
No, we would have seen
a very large heat signature.
Then where could they have gone?
I don't know it's like
they just disappeared.
Yeah, no shite!
Yelling won't get us anywhere.
Look, I'm not being funny, all right?
No one can hear us. No one can see us.
People are walking through us.
Are we frickin' dead right now?
No, we're not dead. Calm down.
We sure seem to be acting
a lot like ghosts.
If we were dead,
we couldn't have flown
the shuttle back here.
So whatever happened to us
happened to the shuttle too.
[SIGHS] Damn.
What?
I-I thought I might be able
to communicate with her.
- Oh, that's a good idea.
- If it worked.
Got it.
I just finished recompiling
the image they sent.
The data came through all scrambled.
Hey, that's the symbol
John Doe showed us
in the caves.
All right, okay, let's split up.
You two go get Avega.
Inspect the clearing
and search for wreckage.
I'll get Kelly so we can ask
John Doe about the picture.
Maybe it'll mean something to him.

Who was it who said
that going to the caves
was too dangerous?
I forget.
We're taking a calculated
risk out of necessity.
"Calculated risk"?
Or maybe you just realized
that Angus and I were right.
That those cave people
are not a threat.
So, uh
I just thought of something, right?
If we can't pick anything up
and we can walk through stuff,
we, uh, probably can't eat
or drink either.
- What do you mean?
- Well, think about it.
Even if we could pick it up,
which we can't,
but if we could, like, it would
just go right through us.

like one of those, uh,
cartoon skeletons, you know?

How could my window
have spontaneously broken?
What were you doing in there, Garnet?
Come on, be honest.
What do you think I was doing,
trying to roll down my window
for some fresh air?
Of all the windows
on the ship for this to happen,
Captain's Quarters seems suspect.
I've never seen one of those
windows fail on their own.
Because they don't.
It's 3 inches thick,
made of fused silica.
It's virtually indestructible.
Then we should get crews
inspecting every window on this ship.
We'll also check your window
for any explosive residue
and any other signs of foul play.
Could have been a lot worse.
A couple of minor scrapes
and burns, but you'll be fine.
- Thanks, Doc.
- Of course.
Has Jenny been by lately?
It's just she's been acting
kind of weird.

It's almost like she's developed
a bit of a crush on me.

Oh, my God.
She threw you across Med Bay
with her mind?
- Yeah.
- [LAUGHS]
- What's so funny?
- Telekinesis?
Please.
I know it sounds crazy,
but I saw it too.
It sounds very crazy.
Yeah, but remember what I told you
about the elevated magnetites
and the high EMF in her scans?
Yeah.
Can really focused EMF do something
like what we saw happen to Ian?
There are advanced weapons
that use EM fields like that,
so I suppose yes.
If she could throw Ian
across the room,
I'm betting she could have
broken Garnet's window.
Come to think of it, that happened
right after Mr. Trust here
told her we were together.
Okay, we should stop her
before someone gets really
hurt, including her.
Security are searching for her now.
Even if we manage to lock her
in the brig,
it doesn't mean we're safe.
Sedating her should stop
the telekinesis temporarily,
if we can get close enough
to inject her.
Any idea on a permanent fix?
Well, the genes I've inserted
seem to improve her GABA receptors
but not fully repair them.
She's more coherent, yes,
but still clearly psychotic.
Yeah, hence the irrational behavior.
Right. One of the inserted genes
must have caused
the elevated magnetites.
Let's presume she really
does have these abilities.
Could one of us take the drug
and experience
the same results?
I mean, imagine the power
that would give me.
Someone.
Maybe, but you'd also have
the psychosis with it.
Right.
I-I just need to isolate
the gene that caused the spike.
It shouldn't take me too long.
Captain Garnet, we found
the Gen-3 in the mess hall.
Sanji, prep me that sedative
and then isolate that gene
you were just talking about
- as fast as you can.
- On it.

represent polarity

Right.
Isn't that what I just said?
More or less.
Okay, so, um,
how are we gonna fix this?
We must have made contact
here where it's blinking.
We might be able to go back in phase
by using the shuttle
to touch the dome again
- at a circuit's negative end.
- Great.
But it'll take some precision flying.
Well, you are in luck,
'cause I happen to know
a very good pilot.
But you should know
it could also blow us up.
Right.
Yes, well, that
that would suck. [CLEARS THROAT]
Just as I'm starting to realize
why the old me
was so into you.
I get it.
I might not remember
our past, you know,
all the stories and everything, but
I remember this
this feeling
Being amazed by you.
Think you'll still feel that
when we
if we go back in phase?
[SMACKS LIPS] I don't know.
You're the smart one. You tell me.
I hope so.
Let's do it.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Looks like we might be
getting some extra help
with guidance.
You ready?
Still think this is a good idea?

Never.

Hey, Homebase, do you read?
Yeah, we do.
It's good to hear you again.

Hey!
Please tell me you can see us!
We can see you!
You got us worried there.
There was no trace of you.
What happened?
I want to know everything.
I have a feeling like you can
give me more information
than I can give you.
Did you guys see that ripple
when the shuttle reappeared?
Oh, man, it looked like water.
Hey.
I was just wondering, uh,
what you're doing tonight.
Don't know if maybe you fancy
getting some dinner.
- I'd like that.
- Yeah?
Great.
Got to warn you, though.
I don't put out on the first date.
Oh, sure.
How about the millionth date?
'Cause that's what this would be.
Hmm, the millionth date
well, that
[EXHALES DEEPLY] That does pose
an interesting ethical dilemma.
You know, is this the first date?
Or, as you rightly point out,
the, uh
the millionth?

- How long was I out?
- A couple of hours.
You want to try sitting up for me?
Yeah.
[GRUNTING]
- How do you feel?
- [SIGHS]
Much better.
What happened?
I replaced one of
the proteins in your therapy.
This one shouldn't have
any unexpected side effects.
Oh, my God, I
[SCOFFS] I am so embarrassed.
Hey,
go easy on yourself.
You had an experimental treatment
that caused a neurological reaction.
It's nothing to be embarrassed about.
And you did a great service
to all the Gen-3's
we can hopefully now save.
Thank you.
[CLEARS THROAT] Can I have some water?
Oh, of course. Yeah.
- [SIGHS]
- Phew. [LAUGHS]
Here you go.
No one got hurt, did they?
Is Ian okay?
Oh, I'm right here.
[SIGHS]
Uh, I am so sorry.
And don't worry you look like Paul,
but you don't have anywhere
near his stellar personality.
Good to know, I guess.
So are you sure her brain
is back to normal now for good?
Well, since we gave Jenny
the updated formula,
she's been showing normal EMF

Alexandria.
- Sorry?
- Excuse me?

M-my name is Alexandria.
I remember now.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
What else do you remember?
Um
well, like what?
Uh, like what was your job
back on "Ark 22"?
Uh, what what did you like
to do in your spare time?
Uh, well,
they're sort of the same thing.
I was a cook in the mess hall,
and I really love to cook.
- [LAUGHS]
- Not me.
I, uh I burn toast.
It's actually true. [LIGHT LAUGHTER]
What do you do for fun?
I like to read.
And Mr. Drake
had this amazing library.
What books do you like to read?
I really love a good
romance novel, don't you?
Uh [SCOFFS]
Uh, to be honest, I'm
kind of a nonfiction person.
I like history, science,
stuff like that.
See? Couldn't be more different.
I'll leave you two to chat.
So [CHUCKLES]
What kind of music do you like?
Well, back on Earth,
they called it country.
What about you?
Oh, rock and roll all the way.
[KEYS CLACKING]
I analyzed the dome's energy
signature and directionality,
confirming it is a force field.
Sounds like technology beyond ours.
Way beyond!
It's generating multi-phased
transformative optics.
Which means?
It's a phased cloaking device.
"Cloaking device"?
Sounds like science fiction.
That's what I thought.
Look.
One of our high-speed cameras
caught an image between phases.
It gave us a glimpse
of something massive
inside the clearing.
Something the force field is cloaking.
That is massive.
Doppler estimates it's 40 meters tall.
That's like a 10-story building.
What the hell is it?
