Transcript

The sun rises over the rim of Aquarius. CAPTION: In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. The tiny island floats in an expanse of sea. CAPTION: And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear, and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth ... and God saw that it was good.

ROSEMARY: Let me get this straight. You don't like Ben's plan, so you're going to risk your lives on an even flimsier one? MINNE: Will you help us or not? ROSEMARY: 'Course I will. If we let Schultz act the bully now, next time will be even worse. PANEL: Yoshanna sleeps in a medical bed, cradling the infant. ROSEMARY: We'll need to be quick. The little one is getting weaker by the hour. MINNE: I have a feeling that when we get her home, she'll know what to do.

LAZARUS: I think I saw it in a dream. LAMONT: That fits this plan perfectly. LAMONT: Ellis, can you stay here and monitor communications? ELLIS: What should I tell Minne? A wrist communicator lights up. CAPTION: Nothing yet. Wait for her signal. Rosemary sits up in bed, looking at her communicator quizzically. ROSEMARY: Oy, what now?

LAZARUS: Back on Mars, Schultz used a private skiff to shuttle to Westward and back. Ever wonder what happened to it? ELLIS: I figured he blew it up with the rest of the decoy. * LAZARUS: I don't think he did. I think it's right...here. In this empty area. LAMONT: It's labeled "Emergency Storage." How can you be sure? Lazarus in his bunk, a rainbow light shining on his face as he sleeps. Author’s Note: Ellis is referring to the beginning of Westward’s new, secret mission. A decoy of Westward was launched from Mars and then exploded, allowing the crew to fake their deaths. The smaller, real Westward was concealed inside of the decoy. -e

JAPHETH: Garen and Sampton, for turning thy back on our community and covenant, thou shalt be branded and shunned to the wilderness. As for thee, girl, we must not suffer a witch to live among us. Ye will be returned to the sea to seek the mercies of thine own kind. The assembly has spoken. A model of Westward on a monitor. ELLIS (Off-panel): What are we looking for, Laz?

LITTLE GIRL: I saw York communing with invisible spirits in the forest. OLD MAN: Minne cured my fever with magick. WOMAN: I saw them enter the belly of a great beast in the cove and come out again. MARITH: The same creature that bore your company into the night after Liza compelled Yoshanna to break our Covenant with the sea. Kitt looks pensive.

Transcript:

CAPTION: Kitt, if that be thy name, we have considered thy ways. Thou came among us with strange garb, foreign speech and unseemly conversation. CAPTION: When thy people returned to the sea, be it that below or that above, thou didst not join them, but rather remained ye here, to defy our laws and cause mischief among us. JAPHETH: Further, we have witnesses of more dire transgressions committed by thy fellows.

DENVER: Well, I guess it could work. ELLIS: I have a feeling that Kitt hasn't got twelve hours. MINNE: But what can we do? You already tried convincing the captain, and we can't go down ourselves. The only way to get to the glider is from the command deck. LAZARUS: What if we don't need the glider?

LAMONT: What gave it away? YORK: He—he wanted me to use whiteout on Kitt too. It seemed reckless. Ellis covers her mouth, horrified. LAMONT: Wait until you hear the rest of the plan. Schultz is going to use the ruby ray on one of his satellites to start a fire in the forest. While the villagers are distracted, we'll drop Yoshanna and the baby on the shore and try to rescue Kitt.

MINNE: Liza was preoccupied with Yoshanna and her baby. I never learned why. LAMONT: And you never will. In twelve hours, the senior staff plans to return them to Aquarius as blank slates. Yoshanna is being prepped for whiteout now. LAZARUS: Whiteout? Can't they just erase the last day or two of memories? DENVER: Nuance takes time, kid. Whiteout is just an electrochemical brain bath. YORK: Was this Schultz's idea?
