1. On the Motherworld,Copy !req
2. one thousand kings
ruled unchallenged in succession.Copy !req
3. But in the royal bloodline's
lust for power,Copy !req
4. they consumed
everything upon their planet.Copy !req
5. The Realm marched its armies
into the vastness of space,Copy !req
6. conquering everything in its path.Copy !req
7. The glory of the Motherworld
seemed without endCopy !req
8. until the treachery of an assassin's blade
struck down the King and Queen,Copy !req
9. severing the royal bloodline forever.Copy !req
10. In the chaotic aftermath
of the King's death,Copy !req
11. several conquered planets
on the edge of the Motherworld's reachCopy !req
12. began to whisper of revolution.Copy !req
13. A senator named Balisarius
used the opportunity to seize power,Copy !req
14. declaring himself regent.Copy !req
15. As a show of strength,
he sent his most brutal commanderCopy !req
16. into the outer reaches
of the Motherworld's dominionCopy !req
17. to find and crush without mercyCopy !req
18. those who would call themselves rebel.Copy !req
19. - Whoa.Copy !req
20. Kora.Copy !req
21. Kora!Copy !req
22. I thought you were finished.Copy !req
23. Everyone's up in the Longhouse.Copy !req
24. - These are my last rows and I'll be done.
- All right.Copy !req
25. Okay.Copy !req
26. Oh. Uh…Copy !req
27. Den was asking where you were.Copy !req
28. He and his brother
got a big snow-elk, male.Copy !req
29. He wanted you to see it
before he dressed it.Copy !req
30. Why was he asking for me?Copy !req
31. Well, you know, because he's…Copy !req
32. I, I just thought…Copy !req
33. I just thought…Copy !req
34. You thought?Copy !req
35. - Move up.Copy !req
36. It's been a while since we've had
fresh meat. Forgot how good it is.Copy !req
37. Den said they saw
the summer herds returning.Copy !req
38. Maybe three days' ride away.Copy !req
39. - He was asking for you.
- I heard.Copy !req
40. And, yes, it's quite impressive.Copy !req
41. Which one? The animal?Copy !req
42. Or…Copy !req
43. Or the hunter?Copy !req
44. Hey!Copy !req
45. My people,Copy !req
46. it is my duty
as the head of this communityCopy !req
47. to remind you that
the gods of the harvest demand a tribute.Copy !req
48. Yeah.Copy !req
49. An offering.Copy !req
50. But we all know
it is the thrusting of hips…Copy !req
51. …and the loud sounds of pleasure
that summon the seedlings to sprout.Copy !req
52. - Yeah!Copy !req
53. So make love tonight.Copy !req
54. For the harvest. For the very food we eat.Copy !req
55. - Yeah!
- Yeah!Copy !req
56. For the gods!Copy !req
57. Let's have some music.Copy !req
58. Some music to get us in the mood.Copy !req
59. Den is a good man.Copy !req
60. You should be asleep.Copy !req
61. He's the best hunter among us.Copy !req
62. And a loyal friend.Copy !req
63. Have you thought of
a more permanent relationship?Copy !req
64. I know that he's amenable to the idea.Copy !req
65. He's asked me himself.Copy !req
66. It's easy between us.Copy !req
67. Does it have to be more than that?Copy !req
68. It's just, uh…Copy !req
69. That would be your last step to becoming
a full member of this community.Copy !req
70. I'm telling you, this is home now.Copy !req
71. I want that to be true.Copy !req
72. You know,Copy !req
73. the two seasons I've spent here
have given me happinessCopy !req
74. that I don't deserve.Copy !req
75. But understand, I am a child of war.Copy !req
76. To truly love and be loved, I…Copy !req
77. I don't know if I'm capable of either.Copy !req
78. The very idea of love,
of… family was beaten out of me.Copy !req
79. I was taught that love is weakness.Copy !req
80. And I…Copy !req
81. I don't know how that will ever change.Copy !req
82. You should get some rest.Copy !req
83. Yeah.Copy !req
84. I noticed
you left early last night.Copy !req
85. Were you tired?Copy !req
86. That's right.
I thought I'd make it an early night.Copy !req
87. I thought you were
doing your part for the harvest.Copy !req
88. Because as I walked home,
I passed Den's house.Copy !req
89. - That's what it sounded like.Copy !req
90. Sam, I don't know
what you're talking about.Copy !req
91. I think you do.Copy !req
92. What do you think they want?Copy !req
93. Everything.Copy !req
94. I don't care
what the potential upside might be,Copy !req
95. a warship hanging over our land
cannot be good.Copy !req
96. That's your problem.
Your first reaction is always fear.Copy !req
97. The Motherworld has deep pockets.Copy !req
98. I'm simply saying
maybe we can get a better priceCopy !req
99. from our friends in low orbit there,Copy !req
100. rather than having to deal with
the cutthroats in Providence,Copy !req
101. selling our grain to God only knows.Copy !req
102. Don't act like we don't know
you've been selling our surplus grainCopy !req
103. to the enemies of that ship up there.Copy !req
104. I wonder what they would say if they
found out where our excess went last year.Copy !req
105. Well, I'm no revolutionary.Copy !req
106. They offered the best price.
I don't care about their cause.Copy !req
107. Obviously.Copy !req
108. Sindri, I don't have a side,
only this community.Copy !req
109. That's my only loyalty.Copy !req
110. And I say we start
by showing them goodwill, not fear.Copy !req
111. That we are their partners,
not their adversaries, right?Copy !req
112. Did you say "partner," Gunnar?Copy !req
113. I did. Is that a problem?Copy !req
114. That ship does not represent prosperity.Copy !req
115. Its purpose is to destroy,
to subjugate, to enslave.Copy !req
116. - Partnership is not in its vocabulary.Copy !req
117. Give them what they ask for.Copy !req
118. But volunteer nothing
about how fertile this land is.Copy !req
119. And hope they leave
before digging too deepCopy !req
120. into who Gunnar sold last year's grain to.Copy !req
121. - Right.
- I've heard enough. We volunteer nothing.Copy !req
122. Is that clear?Copy !req
123. They're here!Copy !req
124. They're coming! They're coming!
They're coming!Copy !req
125. Hello. I am Sindri,
father of this village.Copy !req
126. Welcome.Copy !req
127. I'm Admiral Atticus Noble.Copy !req
128. Loyal representative of the slain King.Copy !req
129. I welcome you to his warm embrace.Copy !req
130. Please, father,
tell me about this beautiful village.Copy !req
131. Walk with me up to our Longhouse.Copy !req
132. We can have a cup of ale
and I will tell you about life here.Copy !req
133. Oh. Sounds perfect. Lead the way.Copy !req
134. We've carved out
a simple life here.Copy !req
135. And we take pride
in the love of our community,Copy !req
136. and the hard work
it takes to survive here.Copy !req
137. Your people
seem healthy and well-fed.Copy !req
138. As their leader, much of that prosperity
must be credited to you.Copy !req
139. No, we are a community.
The credit is no one person's.Copy !req
140. Oh, I know that in the best of times,
the credit's shared,Copy !req
141. but when the stores are empty,
you know where the responsibility falls.Copy !req
142. The weight of the leader, I suppose.Copy !req
143. So you… you understand
the feeling of, like, a father,Copy !req
144. the need to feed your children, yes?Copy !req
145. I was hoping that your land
and the people of Veldt might helpCopy !req
146. as we search for a small band
of revolutionaries hiding in this system.Copy !req
147. Who my commander, the Regent Balisarius,
bid me find and bring to justice.Copy !req
148. We are humble farmers,Copy !req
149. far removed from the politics
of the Motherworld.Copy !req
150. - And still you can serve. Hmm.Copy !req
151. The rebels we seek
have been attacking our supply ports.Copy !req
152. Led by a woman named Devra Bloodaxe,
and her brother Darrian.Copy !req
153. Their capture's inevitable.Copy !req
154. However,
it's taken longer than anticipated,Copy !req
155. and we found ourselves
admittedly low on stores.Copy !req
156. And as you know or may have heard,
an army runs on its stomach.Copy !req
157. I was thinking of a partnership,
where you supply us with food.Copy !req
158. Whatever you have to spare, of course.Copy !req
159. In exchange, you're compensated at…Copy !req
160. Let's call it triple
the market value, shall we?Copy !req
161. With that windfall, you'll be able
to buy plenty of harvesters, robots,Copy !req
162. and won't have to do
this difficult work by hand.Copy !req
163. We believe that doing the work by hand
connects us to the landCopy !req
164. and honors these sacred fields
that give us life.Copy !req
165. There's peace of mind knowing
that you're invaluableCopy !req
166. in the important mission of
rooting out enemies of the Motherworld.Copy !req
167. - It's quite a proposal.
- Yes.Copy !req
168. If only we had
some surplus to offer.Copy !req
169. You see, the land is rockyCopy !req
170. and yields barely enough
to feed ourselves.Copy !req
171. So, it is with sincere apologies
that we must decline the offer.Copy !req
172. However, we are gratefulCopy !req
173. for the presence of such
a benevolent and powerful protector.Copy !req
174. Huh.Copy !req
175. No surplus?Copy !req
176. - None at all?Copy !req
177. Huh.Copy !req
178. But your land looks so fertile.Copy !req
179. Your fields seem larger
than what your population might need.Copy !req
180. Of course, I understand how it might seem.Copy !req
181. Yet the scale of the planting
is evidence of the poor soil.Copy !req
182. And our harsh winters
only add to the short season.Copy !req
183. Now, what do you say
we share that cup of ale, eh?Copy !req
184. Sorry.Copy !req
185. It's just…Copy !req
186. I mean, look at these beautiful people.Copy !req
187. I can't imagine these glowing complexions
are nourished by a barren field.Copy !req
188. Now… who's the man or woman among you
who oversees the harvest?Copy !req
189. There must be one
whose thumb is greener than the rest.Copy !req
190. Someone?Copy !req
191. Hmm?Copy !req
192. Yes, sir.Copy !req
193. - Ah.
- That is me.Copy !req
194. Good.Copy !req
195. Yes, I oversee the harvest.Copy !req
196. Well, if these people trust you,
then so do I.Copy !req
197. Trying to understand how I could be
so wrong about what this land could yield.Copy !req
198. That's all.Copy !req
199. Well, sir.Copy !req
200. Sindri, our beloved father, is always
looking out for the welfare of our villageCopy !req
201. and so insists on keeping reserves
in case of famine or drought,Copy !req
202. which, as you know,
is the responsibility of a leader.Copy !req
203. But we have been lucky
these last few seasons.Copy !req
204. Our surplus has been
more than we can store.Copy !req
205. So, there might beCopy !req
206. a chance that we can spare a small amount.Copy !req
207. Depending, of course,
on the scale of your needs.Copy !req
208. Mmm. Good. Good.Copy !req
209. Yeah, I mean, it's always wise
to hold some in reserve, isn't it, father?Copy !req
210. Yep. Yep.Copy !req
211. I am confused though.Copy !req
212. Curious why you should have me believeCopy !req
213. this land could barely yield enough
to feed your people.Copy !req
214. - Seems that wasn't entirely true.
- No, wait, wait.Copy !req
215. Admiral, no one is trying to mislead you.Copy !req
216. Sindri simply has a slightly more
conservative view on reserves than I do.Copy !req
217. But we're both excited
about a possible partnership.Copy !req
218. Just bear in mind
the reality of what we can supply.Copy !req
219. Father, who is this exactly?Copy !req
220. - Uh… My…
- He's of no consequence.Copy !req
221. I have been empowered
by my people to speak for them.Copy !req
222. This man has no authority here.Copy !req
223. You would be wise to ignore him.Copy !req
224. Well… a rift.Copy !req
225. It's not quite
the idyllic community I'd first seen.Copy !req
226. Father, if I mayCopy !req
227. offer you some advice when dealing with
subordinates who need to be kept in place.Copy !req
228. I find people can lose sight of the stakes
and sometimes need a gentle reminderCopy !req
229. of just how those with power
deal with those without.Copy !req
230. Admiral.Copy !req
231. Sindri…Copy !req
232. Please.Copy !req
233. - No, I… I would never…
- It's fine.Copy !req
234. - I…
- Let me show you what I mean.Copy !req
235. Uh…Copy !req
236. Please.Copy !req
237. Admiral.Copy !req
238. No, stop!Copy !req
239. No!Copy !req
240. What did you do?Copy !req
241. When can I expect my harvest?Copy !req
242. Oh…Copy !req
243. I don't…Copy !req
244. I said, tell me, partner,
when I can expect my harvest.Copy !req
245. Uh… Um…Copy !req
246. - Nine… nine weeks.
- Very well.Copy !req
247. In ten weeks, I shall return.Copy !req
248. You shall have
my 10,000 bushels prepared for my ship.Copy !req
249. Twelve… We barely produce 12,000 bushels.Copy !req
250. We'll starve to death.Copy !req
251. I don't understand what you want.Copy !req
252. Well, it's simple.Copy !req
253. I want everything.Copy !req
254. All right, listen up.Copy !req
255. I need all of this gear moved
to this big stone building.Copy !req
256. That should suit us for now.Copy !req
257. Marcus, you're gonna help me evict
the current residents from our new home.Copy !req
258. Copy?Copy !req
259. Copy you, boss.Copy !req
260. Copy you.Copy !req
261. Hello, everyone.Copy !req
262. I am JC-1435
of the Mechanicas Militarium,Copy !req
263. defender of the King.Copy !req
264. Correction, of the slain King.Copy !req
265. It is my honor to serve.Copy !req
266. I'm Private Aris.Copy !req
267. We're moving supplies to that building,
if you wouldn't mind lending a hand.Copy !req
268. Thank you, Private Aris.Copy !req
269. That falls perfectly into my protocols.Copy !req
270. I'm talking to you,
you dirty drain turtle. Come here.Copy !req
271. The hell you waiting for?
Get out, man!Copy !req
272. Mmm.Copy !req
273. Thank you.Copy !req
274. Now, what in the name of the old gods
are you looking at?Copy !req
275. I'm sorry, I was just waiting to see
if you needed some more water.Copy !req
276. Some more water?Copy !req
277. That's how I like 'em.
Young, strong enough to put up a fight.Copy !req
278. - Boss.
- Hmm?Copy !req
279. Look, they left us a Jimmy.Copy !req
280. It's a Jimmy, man.Copy !req
281. I didn't know we had any of those left.Copy !req
282. All right, careful. The ground's uneven
till you get to the bridge.Copy !req
283. Thank you, Private Aris,
but I believe I can manage.Copy !req
284. They won't fight anymore.Copy !req
285. What do you mean they won't fight anymore?Copy !req
286. It's something in their programming.Copy !req
287. Once the King was killed,Copy !req
288. they just laid down their weapons
and refused to fight.Copy !req
289. Just watch, no matter what I do,
he doesn't fight back.Copy !req
290. Hey!Copy !req
291. Careful with that stuff,
you stupid machine.Copy !req
292. I'll turn you into scrap, you dumbshit.
You hear me?Copy !req
293. You're not hearing me.Copy !req
294. Hey! Stop.Copy !req
295. What if I shoot you instead, huh?Copy !req
296. I could kill you right now
and no one would care.Copy !req
297. - Would they?
- That's enough.Copy !req
298. What do you say? Wanna die?Copy !req
299. What's it, huh?Copy !req
300. Come on, boy.Copy !req
301. I said, enough.Copy !req
302. Get these crates
into that house now, Private.Copy !req
303. Yes, boss.Copy !req
304. Are you malfunctioning?Copy !req
305. No, sir.Copy !req
306. Get up. Go to the river. Clean yourself.Copy !req
307. The rest of you, stop staring.Copy !req
308. Get back to work.Copy !req
309. Get back to work, assholes.Copy !req
310. That includes you, Marcus.Copy !req
311. You got it?Copy !req
312. Excuse me.Copy !req
313. Thank you. That is kind.Copy !req
314. - You're a soldier?
- Long ago.Copy !req
315. Do you mind? I'm Sam.Copy !req
316. Please.Copy !req
317. Tell me, Sam.
Do you know the story of our slain KingCopy !req
318. and his beautiful daughter,
the Princess Issa?Copy !req
319. I don't.Copy !req
320. Well, you remind me of her.Copy !req
321. In myth, she was called
the Chalice or the Redeemer.Copy !req
322. She was pueri salvatoris.Copy !req
323. And even before she was born,Copy !req
324. I and my brothers
pledged everything we were,Copy !req
325. everything that dwells
inside this metal skin,Copy !req
326. to fight in her name.Copy !req
327. So when word reached us
on some distant battlefieldCopy !req
328. that she, as prophesied, had been born
of flesh and blood into our world,Copy !req
329. I felt a great warmth for the universeCopy !req
330. and trusted that she was to usher in
a new age of peace and compassion.Copy !req
331. And bring us home.Copy !req
332. She was magic.Copy !req
333. Ah, yes.
She was more than magic.Copy !req
334. On the day of her coronation,Copy !req
335. she, along with
our honored King and Queen,Copy !req
336. were assassinated in cold blood
by those they trusted most.Copy !req
337. I fear we lost some measure
of our honor since that betrayal.Copy !req
338. I'm afraid our compassion, our kindness,Copy !req
339. our very joy,Copy !req
340. died with that young girl.Copy !req
341. I think it lives in you.Copy !req
342. This is your fault, Gunnar!Copy !req
343. I didn't know that he would kill them.Copy !req
344. Doesn't matter. He's dead now.Copy !req
345. What about the soldiers?
Next, it's gonna be the other house.Copy !req
346. - I don't know.
- Stop, please.Copy !req
347. How about we bring in the crop
and we fall on their mercy?Copy !req
348. Yeah.Copy !req
349. We make ourselves invaluable.
They wouldn't be able to kill us.Copy !req
350. - They would need us.
- He's right.Copy !req
351. Farming, that is our skill
that we can do, that they cannot.Copy !req
352. If we show them how good we are,
they will be forced to spare us.Copy !req
353. - Yes.
- Yes. Yeah.Copy !req
354. - Do we agree? Our work fights for us.
- Yes!Copy !req
355. - Our work fights for us. Yes?
- Yes!Copy !req
356. It's settled then.Copy !req
357. - We show them how valuable we are.
- Okay.Copy !req
358. And when we have fulfilled
our side of the deal,Copy !req
359. they will be forced to rethink
how much food they leave us.Copy !req
360. - Yeah.
- Yeah.Copy !req
361. We can appeal to those gentlemen
in the granary, appeal to their humanity.Copy !req
362. - Yeah.
- Good.Copy !req
363. So… it's running.Copy !req
364. Would've thought
you'd have had enough of that.Copy !req
365. You heard them. They're delusional.Copy !req
366. They think those soldiers will show mercy
even after what they did to Sindri,Copy !req
367. right in front of them.Copy !req
368. When I found you
in the wreckage of that ship,Copy !req
369. I considered leaving you.Copy !req
370. I was afraid
you could bring trouble to us.Copy !req
371. But do I for a moment
regret bringing you into our lives?Copy !req
372. I do not.Copy !req
373. You've become a part of us.Copy !req
374. And yet, now you leave
when we need you most.Copy !req
375. When your people need you.Copy !req
376. I can't.Copy !req
377. You mean, you won't?Copy !req
378. This place is already lost.Copy !req
379. But what if that could change?Copy !req
380. What if we did fight,
not only us, but others?Copy !req
381. - Who else would come here and fight?
- Others! Others!Copy !req
382. Others that have reason to hate
all that the Motherworld represents.Copy !req
383. Kora, you know this universe
better than I.Copy !req
384. What if you could find
the warriors that Noble seeks?Copy !req
385. The outlaws to fight alongside us?Copy !req
386. If I find warriors to fight for Veldt,
I give the village hope.Copy !req
387. If I give them hope,
they fight and surely lose.Copy !req
388. I won't have that blood on my hands.Copy !req
389. Nor will I throw my life away
the same as the rest of you.Copy !req
390. Check this.Copy !req
391. Hey, water girl!Copy !req
392. - Come here.
- What is it?Copy !req
393. Did you need some more water?Copy !req
394. Just a… a little water.Copy !req
395. Stop it!Copy !req
396. Or what?Copy !req
397. - Help! Help!Copy !req
398. Please, help!Copy !req
399. Help!Copy !req
400. - Shut up!
- Get off me!Copy !req
401. - Help me!
- Shut up!Copy !req
402. No. Please!Copy !req
403. - Shut up.
- Someone help me, please! Please, help!Copy !req
404. - Help me! Get off of me!
- Shut up!Copy !req
405. Get off me!Copy !req
406. Don't!Copy !req
407. Attaboy. What do you have in mind?Copy !req
408. I'm gonna tie you to a post
and make you watch every dayCopy !req
409. as she turns from a farm girl to a whore.Copy !req
410. Marcus, my good man…Copy !req
411. This all sounds nice,Copy !req
412. but you're not gonna do anything.Copy !req
413. Not until I split this sapling myself.Copy !req
414. Then you may have her.Copy !req
415. Then you can all have her.Copy !req
416. - Get off her!Copy !req
417. Stop!Copy !req
418. Stop.Copy !req
419. Dessert.
Perfect.Copy !req
420. Definitely get her.Copy !req
421. Please.Copy !req
422. I will kill her.Copy !req
423. Is that what you want? Huh?Copy !req
424. Huh?Copy !req
425. Ah, look who decided to join us.Copy !req
426. Kill her. Kill them both.Copy !req
427. What are you waiting for?
I gave you an order.Copy !req
428. Kill this b…Copy !req
429. We're gonna have to fight.Copy !req
430. Kora, you may need this.Copy !req
431. I found it at the site of the crash.Copy !req
432. I thought it was lost.Copy !req
433. Our culture is not for such weapons.Copy !req
434. I feared it could be dangerous.Copy !req
435. You were right.Copy !req
436. Thank you.Copy !req
437. Where will you go?Copy !req
438. There is someone, a general named Titus.Copy !req
439. Once a hero of the RealmCopy !req
440. who turned his own forces
against those of the Motherworld.Copy !req
441. Last I heard,
he was still out there somewhere.Copy !req
442. If I could find him
and men for him to lead…Copy !req
443. Gunnar.Copy !req
444. Last year, in Providence,
you sold grain to the resistance.Copy !req
445. Yes. I met a man there
who introduced me to the insurgents.Copy !req
446. The Bloodaxes.Copy !req
447. - Would he still know how to find them?
- It's possible.Copy !req
448. Then you'll take me to him?Copy !req
449. Of course I will.Copy !req
450. Hey! Bring down one more uraki!Copy !req
451. A general and an army?Copy !req
452. We might stand a chance.Copy !req
453. Be careful.Copy !req
454. A safe journey… to the both of you.Copy !req
455. So you were a soldier
for the Motherworld?Copy !req
456. Fighting for the Realm?Copy !req
457. You could say that.Copy !req
458. Of high rank, I suppose?Copy !req
459. I mean, are you wanted for desertion?Copy !req
460. That and more.Copy !req
461. Okay.Copy !req
462. Anything else you wanna ask me?Copy !req
463. They won't just kill us,
will they?Copy !req
464. I mean, I understand
making an example of SindriCopy !req
465. to keep us in line.Copy !req
466. But we're just farmers,
we're not a threat.Copy !req
467. How can you know they will destroy us?Copy !req
468. When they first came to my world,
I was nine years old.Copy !req
469. They never asked for anything.Copy !req
470. There were no terms.Copy !req
471. Only the lust for destruction.Copy !req
472. The Motherworld's forces were commanded
by a young general named Balisarius,Copy !req
473. who relished the ecstasy of combat.Copy !req
474. The people of my world
had mounted a brave defense,Copy !req
475. but it had served
only to enrage the young generalCopy !req
476. and gave him provocation
to take out that anger on the innocent.Copy !req
477. I found myself
face-to-face with Balisarius,Copy !req
478. who loved commanding his troops,Copy !req
479. not from the conning tower of his ships,Copy !req
480. but on the battlefield itself.Copy !req
481. Balisarius killed my entire family
and took me with him.Copy !req
482. I don't know why he spared me.Copy !req
483. Why, of the hundreds of thousands
that died at his hands,Copy !req
484. he chose me to live.Copy !req
485. Saw something in me, I suppose.Copy !req
486. Someone to share in his pain.Copy !req
487. They gave me the name Arthelais,Copy !req
488. began my training and education
in the histories of the Motherworld.Copy !req
489. And for five years,
I lived on that ship with its soldiers,Copy !req
490. who were my only family.Copy !req
491. No softness.Copy !req
492. Only the hard lessons of war.Copy !req
493. He took me often on missions of diplomacy,Copy !req
494. and I was his child.Copy !req
495. I was his protégé. I was his student.Copy !req
496. I was one of them.Copy !req
497. Daughter of a decorated commander.Copy !req
498. Friend to the King and the royal family.Copy !req
499. - Living a life of privilege.Copy !req
500. But regardless
of my social standing,Copy !req
501. I was expected to do my duty.Copy !req
502. To fight for the Motherworld.Copy !req
503. At the Academy Militarium,
they encouraged us to find a lover.Copy !req
504. Someone we would defend with our livesCopy !req
505. when the politics of expansion
became too abstract,Copy !req
506. and the why of the conquest
was lost in sheer savagery of combat.Copy !req
507. Come on! Let's go! Come on!Copy !req
508. So, at the age of 18,
I was made an officer and given a command.Copy !req
509. I fought for the King
on distant worldsCopy !req
510. under the banner of a people
who murdered my entire familyCopy !req
511. and destroyed my world.Copy !req
512. They had trained me,Copy !req
513. broken me, and rebuilt me in their image.Copy !req
514. I'm only telling you this
so you know who I am.Copy !req
515. You asked how I know
that they'll destroy you.Copy !req
516. That's what I would do.Copy !req
517. Hawkshaws.Copy !req
518. Bounty hunters.
They work for the Imperium.Copy !req
519. Wait.Copy !req
520. - Oh, no.Copy !req
521. That's our guy.
That's the man we came to see.Copy !req
522. The one that introduced me
to the Bloodaxes.Copy !req
523. Did the Bloodaxes give you
any other way to contact them?Copy !req
524. No. They said they were
sheltered on a planet called Sharaan.Copy !req
525. - Protected by a king named Levitica.
- Levitica.Copy !req
526. Come.Copy !req
527. Carbost.Copy !req
528. Anyway, I think our best chance
to find the BloodaxesCopy !req
529. is to contact the Leviticans.Copy !req
530. It might expose us.Copy !req
531. First we find General Titus,
then we'll see about your rebels.Copy !req
532. Is this your owner?Copy !req
533. Move on. He's not for sale.Copy !req
534. Everything's for sale in this place,
so… how much?Copy !req
535. You know, I have a room upstairs…Copy !req
536. …with relatively clean sheets.Copy !req
537. That's a very generous offer.
But I don't think so…Copy !req
538. I guarantee you, by morning,Copy !req
539. you're gonna be begging me for more.Copy !req
540. - I said, move on.Copy !req
541. - Come on, Mama.Copy !req
542. - Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Let him come and play.Copy !req
543. You need to leave.Copy !req
544. Listen close, you jealous little bitch.Copy !req
545. Now you listen close.
I told you, you need to leave.Copy !req
546. I'm looking for information.Copy !req
547. Has anyone here heard of General Titus
or know where he might be?Copy !req
548. Of course, General Titus.Copy !req
549. Crazy bastard. Turned his own men
on the Motherworld's forcesCopy !req
550. at the Battle of Sarawu.Copy !req
551. Do you know of his location?Copy !req
552. Last I heard,
he was fighting in the coliseum at Pollux.Copy !req
553. I'd be careful if I were you, little miss.Copy !req
554. Last hunter who went looking for him
ended up with his head on a pikeCopy !req
555. outside the coliseum entranceCopy !req
556. as a warning not to bother him.Copy !req
557. So, he's on Pollux.Copy !req
558. - That's your plan?
- That's my plan.Copy !req
559. What?Copy !req
560. Guess we need to
find a ship to take us to Pollux.Copy !req
561. You're catching on.Copy !req
562. Hey! Bitch!Copy !req
563. Oh.Copy !req
564. You should have killed me.Copy !req
565. Now you're gonna die.Copy !req
566. I'm gonna give you one chance
to just turn and walk away.Copy !req
567. Uh-oh.Copy !req
568. Are you gonna give all of us one chance?Copy !req
569. - Kill her.Copy !req
570. Impressive.Copy !req
571. Were those Hawkshaws that paid you
working for the Motherworld?Copy !req
572. - I don't like bounty hunters.
- I didn't ask.Copy !req
573. And to be clear,
I don't like bounty hunters either.Copy !req
574. So you're a gun for hire?Copy !req
575. No. That's not my thing.Copy !req
576. I'm more of an opportunist, you might say.Copy !req
577. A real hero, huh?Copy !req
578. Wait.Copy !req
579. Look. I heard you in there,Copy !req
580. trying to get to Pollux.Copy !req
581. I could help you.Copy !req
582. Oh, understand, we're just simple farmers.Copy !req
583. We're searching for soldiers
for a fight against the Motherworld.Copy !req
584. We have some money,
but this is not the one you get rich on.Copy !req
585. Aye, I understand.Copy !req
586. Still, pay me what it's worth to you.Copy !req
587. Soldiers for a fight
against the Motherworld?Copy !req
588. Well, my name's Kai.Copy !req
589. Come on, my ship's down at port.Copy !req
590. Right. Setting course for Pollux.Copy !req
591. I need to stop on Neu-Wodi first.Copy !req
592. You know, there's a rancher there.Copy !req
593. He has a man
that might just work out for you.Copy !req
594. Is he worth our time?Copy !req
595. Because we can't afford to waste any.Copy !req
596. I think you'll like him.Copy !req
597. You ever been off-planet?Copy !req
598. No.Copy !req
599. What did you do on the farm?Copy !req
600. I oversee the harvest, and planting,
cataloguing seeds, and making sure that…Copy !req
601. That sounds great.
You might want to hold on.Copy !req
602. Whoo!Copy !req
603. Whoa.Copy !req
604. Come in.Copy !req
605. Oh, Cassius, it's you. Good.Copy !req
606. We received a communiqué
from the Hawkshaws.Copy !req
607. They're requesting to rendezvous with us.Copy !req
608. Apparently they've captured a creatureCopy !req
609. that has important information
about the insurgents,Copy !req
610. Devra Bloodaxe and her brother.Copy !req
611. Bloodaxe? Huh.Copy !req
612. - Well, that…Copy !req
613. That's excellent, Cassius.Copy !req
614. Inform me when they arrive.Copy !req
615. - Yes, sir.
- Hey.Copy !req
616. Well, if it isn't
the bastard from Saaldorun.Copy !req
617. - What brings you all the way out here?
- I missed your smiling face.Copy !req
618. You still got
that man chained in the back?Copy !req
619. Tarak? Yeah,
he's working off his debt to me.Copy !req
620. Another couple dozen seasons,
we should be square.Copy !req
621. What's it to you?Copy !req
622. You mind if we talk to him?Copy !req
623. Could be a deal in it for ya.Copy !req
624. Well, if there's money to be made…Copy !req
625. Hey!Copy !req
626. Hey! Tarak!Copy !req
627. These people want to talk to you.Copy !req
628. - What got that chain on your leg?
- A long road of mistakes.Copy !req
629. But if you're here to accuse me
of crimes against the Motherworld,Copy !req
630. I'm guilty as charged.
Take it up with him.Copy !req
631. No. That's not why we're here.Copy !req
632. We're here from a small village,
and we're looking to hire some fightersCopy !req
633. to train and protect us
against a force from the Motherworld.Copy !req
634. - I'm no friend of the Realm.
- Okay.Copy !req
635. That's well-known.Copy !req
636. And I'd gladly fight with you,Copy !req
637. but… I have a debt on my name,Copy !req
638. and I honor my debts.Copy !req
639. What's he owe you?Copy !req
640. Uh…Copy !req
641. 300,000 Darams ought to cover
any inconvenience I've suffered.Copy !req
642. Oh, ya bollocks.Copy !req
643. We don't have that kind of money.Copy !req
644. No money.Copy !req
645. Well, I do love to gamble.Copy !req
646. Here we go.Copy !req
647. What's the bet?Copy !req
648. If Tarak can break that creature
out there, his debts are squared with me.Copy !req
649. But if he don't ride him,Copy !req
650. you all get a chain and a shackle.Copy !req
651. That's the deal.Copy !req
652. Grab it tighter!Copy !req
653. Watch its tail!Copy !req
654. Can you ride him?Copy !req
655. Yeah… I can ride him.Copy !req
656. Yank it hard!
Don't let him fight you like that!Copy !req
657. Pull!Copy !req
658. Drop your leads.Copy !req
659. She'll tear you apart.Copy !req
660. Drop your leads and clear out now.Copy !req
661. Suit yourself. Drop them.Copy !req
662. I'm not going to hurt you.Copy !req
663. You're far from home and so am I.Copy !req
664. See, you and I…Copy !req
665. …we are alike.Copy !req
666. We've been hurt. Betrayed.Copy !req
667. Our trust has been broken.Copy !req
668. We both know fear.Copy !req
669. Yet, the biggest fear we both face…Copy !req
670. …is the fear of ourselves.Copy !req
671. That's it.Copy !req
672. Let's show them we're not afraid.Copy !req
673. Let's show them we're more
than the shackles that bind us.Copy !req
674. Easy. Easy. Easy.
Let's go. Let's go.Copy !req
675. Whoo!Copy !req
676. There.Copy !req
677. Yeah.Copy !req
678. It's okay.Copy !req
679. Hickman, I've done as you asked.Copy !req
680. Your debt is square with me.Copy !req
681. Be good to her.Copy !req
682. Go! Get out!Copy !req
683. - Hey!Copy !req
684. No.Copy !req
685. Hey.Copy !req
686. No. No.Copy !req
687. Attagirl.Copy !req
688. Tarak! Let's go.Copy !req
689. This was good.
Anyone else you know of along the way?Copy !req
690. I might have a couple ideas.Copy !req
691. So, what's the job?Copy !req
692. We represent a village
on a small moon called Veldt.Copy !req
693. This village
faces the threat of annihilationCopy !req
694. by the armies of the Motherworld.Copy !req
695. We are looking for warriorsCopy !req
696. to join the fight to protect them.Copy !req
697. With your reputation,Copy !req
698. we thought it might be something
you'd be interested in.Copy !req
699. - Nemesis, please, please.
- Hold her.Copy !req
700. Help her. Please, please.Copy !req
701. Stay back.Copy !req
702. I just want to talk. That's all.Copy !req
703. I'm clearly distressed, that's true.Copy !req
704. But I'm not stupid.Copy !req
705. I know why you're here.
You want the child.Copy !req
706. Yes, I do.Copy !req
707. You can't have this one.Copy !req
708. This one is mine.Copy !req
709. She has a mother who's waiting for her.Copy !req
710. Who's missing her.Copy !req
711. And why should I care
about that mother's painCopy !req
712. when no one is here for my pain?Copy !req
713. - This was my home before they came.Copy !req
714. Taste the air.Copy !req
715. It's poisoned my body.Copy !req
716. It weakens my eggs,
and now, my children cannot emerge.Copy !req
717. I deserve justice.Copy !req
718. I understand.Copy !req
719. But this is not the way.Copy !req
720. There is a difference
between justice and revenge.Copy !req
721. Is there?Copy !req
722. I'm not so sure.Copy !req
723. I know a mother's pain.Copy !req
724. I know the loneliness of that pain.Copy !req
725. But you can't hurt that child.Copy !req
726. I won't let you.Copy !req
727. I believe you. But understand.Copy !req
728. - I will kill this child.Copy !req
729. And I will keep killing
until every mother weeps tears of regretCopy !req
730. for ever having come
to the mines of Daggus.Copy !req
731. Shit!Copy !req
732. Come on.Copy !req
733. Let's go.Copy !req
734. Come. Back up! Back up!Copy !req
735. - Come here.Copy !req
736. Wow. That was…Copy !req
737. That was amazing.Copy !req
738. Do not celebrate this.Copy !req
739. There's no honor in this.Copy !req
740. This could easily be any of you lying hereCopy !req
741. in the gutter of some forgotten world,Copy !req
742. in the name of revenge.Copy !req
743. You would do well to remember that.Copy !req
744. That was good of you earlier.
With the child.Copy !req
745. - I was just trying to help.
- Yes, but it's not natural for some.Copy !req
746. It is for you.Copy !req
747. Back home,
you saved Sam without hesitation.Copy !req
748. Kindness is a virtue worth dying for.Copy !req
749. I believe that.Copy !req
750. I didn't always.Copy !req
751. I told you how I fought
on countless worlds.Copy !req
752. Well, word of my victories
reached my adopted father.Copy !req
753. And the King.Copy !req
754. For my loyalty and service,Copy !req
755. I was promoted
to the Elite Guard of the Royal Family.Copy !req
756. The appointment
was engineered by my father.Copy !req
757. I couldn't have known
it was something more.Copy !req
758. I was given the honorCopy !req
759. of being the bodyguard to Princess Issa.Copy !req
760. The princess was named after
an ancient Queen Issa,Copy !req
761. the Lifegiver.Copy !req
762. In the old stories of the queen,Copy !req
763. it was said
that she had the power to give life.Copy !req
764. It seemed a myth or a metaphorCopy !req
765. created in response
to the generations of war and conquest.Copy !req
766. Yet, the story still captured
the imagination of the people.Copy !req
767. And it was believed that the princess,
my princess, might have that same power.Copy !req
768. I saw on more than one occasion
things that I… couldn't explain.Copy !req
769. Things that made me think
that she was different.Copy !req
770. Special.Copy !req
771. The King once said to me…Copy !req
772. When she becomes queen,Copy !req
773. I believe she'll bring
a compassion that I've lostCopy !req
774. after all these hard years of war.Copy !req
775. "It will be the dawn
of something better."Copy !req
776. - I think your friendship makes her safer.
- That our friendship made her safer.Copy !req
777. I believed in her.Copy !req
778. In her kindness.Copy !req
779. I believed in her ability to save us.Copy !req
780. The great General Titus.Copy !req
781. Thank you.Copy !req
782. Okay.Copy !req
783. Oof.Copy !req
784. Are you sure this is a good idea?Copy !req
785. Let's clean him up and get him sober.Copy !req
786. - Yeah, that'll do it.
- Come on.Copy !req
787. - Come on.
- You got him.Copy !req
788. - Come on.
- Get off me!Copy !req
789. What do you think you're doing?Copy !req
790. That's enough. Thank you.Copy !req
791. Did you command
the Eastern ranks for the Old King?Copy !req
792. Are you not General Titus? A legend.Copy !req
793. I don't know
what you're running your mouth about.Copy !req
794. Why can't you just leave me alone?Copy !req
795. Because my best hope is that
long-ago general is still in front of me.Copy !req
796. What do you want from me?Copy !req
797. My men are dead because of my surrender.Copy !req
798. I'm tired of reliving
that nightmare every day.Copy !req
799. Now, please, leave me
and let me die in peace.Copy !req
800. I don't think you're meant to die here…Copy !req
801. General.Copy !req
802. Stop calling me that.Copy !req
803. I have no rank, no privilege.Copy !req
804. I'm here to make you an offer.Copy !req
805. To give you a chance at redemption.Copy !req
806. - I am beyond redemption.
- I have no time for pity!Copy !req
807. What about all the dead men
you once commanded?Copy !req
808. What about them?Copy !req
809. If not redemption,Copy !req
810. what about revenge?Copy !req
811. This is the man
who knows where the insurgents are?Copy !req
812. It is, sir.Copy !req
813. Well, I'm listening.Copy !req
814. You'll let me go
if I tell you what I know?Copy !req
815. I'll set you free, you have my word.Copy !req
816. I haven't seen
Devra Bloodaxe for a full season,Copy !req
817. but at the time they were on Sharaan,
under the protection of a king called…Copy !req
818. Levitica.Copy !req
819. Go on.Copy !req
820. This was some time ago,
but they were definitely there.Copy !req
821. Talk to him, to Levitica.Copy !req
822. I certainly will. Thank you.Copy !req
823. Thought we had a deal!Copy !req
824. Yes, we did.Copy !req
825. You're free.Copy !req
826. Dissect his brain and see
if we can find out any more information.Copy !req
827. Then we'll go
pay our respects to King Levitica.Copy !req
828. Yes, Admiral.
I'll set a course for Sharaan.Copy !req
829. Let's go.Copy !req
830. Your patience
is appreciated and I can assure you…Copy !req
831. …Devra is aware of your presence.Copy !req
832. A decision when to receive you
is imminent.Copy !req
833. Thank you, Levitica, honored king.Copy !req
834. We await their arrival.Copy !req
835. - Look.Copy !req
836. Farmer, why would you contact us
from this unknown and flagless vessel?Copy !req
837. I was assuming we had a level of trust
after our last meeting.Copy !req
838. We bought your grain to feed our fighters.Copy !req
839. Do not confuse your business of commerce
with our business of revolution.Copy !req
840. I understand.Copy !req
841. Your coming here is a great risk
to us all and to our benefactor.Copy !req
842. But we are no longer
in need of your grain.Copy !req
843. King Levitica's kindness
has been more than enough to sustain us,Copy !req
844. so I suggest you leave immediately.Copy !req
845. We're not here to sell grain.Copy !req
846. Gunnar's village
was visited by a DreadnoughtCopy !req
847. that threatens its very existence.Copy !req
848. I have recruited these warriorsCopy !req
849. and given my word to bring them back
and defend the farmers.Copy !req
850. - But we're running out of time.
- What?Copy !req
851. This handful? Against a Dreadnought?Copy !req
852. That's why we have come.
You have men and ships.Copy !req
853. With you we could mount a real defense.Copy !req
854. And, of course, we can pay you
with the surplus from our harvest.Copy !req
855. It's all we've got.Copy !req
856. My forces against the King's Gaze?Copy !req
857. That's suicide.Copy !req
858. That ship cannot be destroyed
by a few dozen fighters.Copy !req
859. That ship and the men aboard it
are world destroyers.Copy !req
860. I'm sorry, it's impossible.Copy !req
861. This man is not a revolutionary.Copy !req
862. He's a simple farmer.Copy !req
863. But commerce or not,Copy !req
864. his people toiled with their bare hands
to grow the grain that fed you.Copy !req
865. All of you!Copy !req
866. And because of that transaction,Copy !req
867. their village is now
threatened by Admiral Noble,Copy !req
868. in pursuit of your revolution.Copy !req
869. I see.Copy !req
870. I will go.Copy !req
871. Thank you.Copy !req
872. Brother, a word.Copy !req
873. Our victories, what few there have been,
have been tactical ones.Copy !req
874. We cannot fight in the open
against the King's Gaze.Copy !req
875. If the farmer found us,
it won't be long before Noble does.Copy !req
876. And I will not allow another world
to fall in our name.Copy !req
877. And what of those you command?Copy !req
878. Their lives are theirs.Copy !req
879. Hmm.Copy !req
880. These people, they've come to us withCopy !req
881. nowhere else to turn.Copy !req
882. They come…Copy !req
883. …seeking our help…Copy !req
884. …to stand against
a Dreadnought of the Motherworld.Copy !req
885. Is that not what we stand for?Copy !req
886. Are they not who we once were?Copy !req
887. If we will not stand with these
defiant farmers to protect their home,Copy !req
888. then the revolution is meaningless.Copy !req
889. Under free will,Copy !req
890. who among you
is willing to die for what we believeCopy !req
891. rather than hide behind it?Copy !req
892. Milius.Copy !req
893. Why am I not surprised?Copy !req
894. Who is going to make sure
you'll return in one piece, if not me?Copy !req
895. Thank Levitica and leave this planet.Copy !req
896. Sister, until we meet again.Copy !req
897. Maybe this isn't suicide after all.Copy !req
898. Why would he agree to help you?Copy !req
899. Bloodaxe? You think they shouldn't?Copy !req
900. It just seems short-sighted.Copy !req
901. I mean, he weakens what little ofCopy !req
902. whatever word
you wanna use for it there is…Copy !req
903. Resistance, insurgency.Copy !req
904. For what, Kora?Copy !req
905. The chance to get obliterated
by a Dreadnought?Copy !req
906. Guilt, it's a powerful thing.Copy !req
907. Aye, guilt. The underbelly of honor.Copy !req
908. I think I might've had that once.Copy !req
909. Honor.Copy !req
910. Would you believe that?Copy !req
911. It's true.Copy !req
912. I mean, what do you figure?Copy !req
913. I got ten, fifteen more seasons at most,
before I steal from the wrong man.Copy !req
914. Get stabbed to death by some
dog-headed son of a bitch in a bar fight.Copy !req
915. It's really your fault, anyway.Copy !req
916. Makin' me wanna be an honorable man.Copy !req
917. If you had more
resisting power to speak of,Copy !req
918. you wouldn't need me to join you so badly.Copy !req
919. You're willing to fight with us?Copy !req
920. Since you're beggin'.Copy !req
921. Kai, we're not.Copy !req
922. Well, since you're asking, then.Copy !req
923. If you'll allow me.Copy !req
924. Wow.Copy !req
925. There is one complication.Copy !req
926. The shite in the cargo hold.Copy !req
927. I got buyers waiting in Gondival.Copy !req
928. Aren't the kinds known for their patience.Copy !req
929. Might be wise
to sever my ties to life as a thiefCopy !req
930. before we go
picking a fight with a Dreadnought.Copy !req
931. Besides, you said yourself you need me.Copy !req
932. - I did not say that.
- I think you did.Copy !req
933. I'll set the course
and let 'em know we're on our way.Copy !req
934. Oh, shit, does that make me
one of the good guys?Copy !req
935. I beg you…Copy !req
936. Please!Copy !req
937. I've told you the truth.Copy !req
938. I have nothing more.Copy !req
939. Right.Copy !req
940. The truth…Copy !req
941. …that you took them in,
known enemies of the Motherworld,Copy !req
942. mended their wounds,
repaired their broken ships,Copy !req
943. all out of your
moral code of honor and charity.Copy !req
944. Our civilization has lived
and thrived for 10,000 yearsCopy !req
945. with honor and charity
as its most valued tenets.Copy !req
946. Yes. Yes, honor and charity.Copy !req
947. Do you see that?Copy !req
948. That ship is named the King's Gaze.Copy !req
949. It was named to honor our slain father.Copy !req
950. So…Copy !req
951. honor I understand.Copy !req
952. Charity, I do not.Copy !req
953. Our King showed charity
to an off-worlder like yourselfCopy !req
954. and was slaughtered for his charity.Copy !req
955. So, we named the ship to remind us
of the power in that benevolent gazeCopy !req
956. that was lost to charity.Copy !req
957. And to remember that, if by God's will,
that gaze should fall upon us and be held,Copy !req
958. for even the briefest of moments,Copy !req
959. it could change your life forever.Copy !req
960. Today, it falls upon you.Copy !req
961. We are cleared to engage.Copy !req
962. - Confirmed.Copy !req
963. Fire at will.Copy !req
964. Sir, we received a message
from one of our Hawkshaws.Copy !req
965. They're closing in on the Bloodaxes.Copy !req
966. Ah.Copy !req
967. Finally, some good news.Copy !req
968. Well, prepare the hyperlaunch.Copy !req
969. I'll go ahead and personally retrieve
the treasonous dogs myself.Copy !req
970. And what orders for the King's Gaze, sir?Copy !req
971. Well, once you've razed the planet,Copy !req
972. we'll rendezvous, extract the exact
location of the rest of the insurgents,Copy !req
973. and destroy them once and for all.Copy !req
974. Yes, sir.Copy !req
975. I'm pretty sure
Kai said these boxes.Copy !req
976. - We've got one.
- Okay.Copy !req
977. Aye, just take the gray ones.Copy !req
978. - They're all marked.
- All right.Copy !req
979. For God's sake, don't look inside.
I'd hate you to think less of me.Copy !req
980. Ho!Copy !req
981. Where do you want them?Copy !req
982. - There's space behind the bridge.
- Done.Copy !req
983. All right, put them
the other side of the bridge.Copy !req
984. Aye, let's unload
and get off this godforsaken rock.Copy !req
985. I'll be happy to leave this life behind.Copy !req
986. Good.Copy !req
987. Just wanna make sure
that one's on the manifest.Copy !req
988. Pilots!Copy !req
989. Once you tie off those ships,
see if you can get some fuel.Copy !req
990. And you two, keep eyes from above!Copy !req
991. How we lookin'?Copy !req
992. Everything is done.Copy !req
993. - All right, let's move.
- Yes.Copy !req
994. - On your mark.Copy !req
995. This isn't right.Copy !req
996. On your knees.Copy !req
997. Now is not the time to be a hero.Copy !req
998. When?Copy !req
999. On Veldt, in Providence,
the first time I heard your story.Copy !req
1000. Thought with your ideals of resistance
I could round up a couple of heads.Copy !req
1001. Tarak for instance.Copy !req
1002. His world enslaved.Copy !req
1003. Then there was Nemesis.Copy !req
1004. Her whole family slaughtered.Copy !req
1005. But General Titus?Copy !req
1006. Have you any idea
how much he alone is worth?Copy !req
1007. They would've all jumped at the chanceCopy !req
1008. to exact any small vengeance
against the Realm.Copy !req
1009. Even if the payment
was only a sack of grain.Copy !req
1010. Then there was you. Kora.Copy !req
1011. Or should I call you Arthelais?Copy !req
1012. The biggest prize of them all.Copy !req
1013. Do you know what
the Motherworld did to my planet?Copy !req
1014. They didn't just destroy it.Copy !req
1015. They tortured every man, woman, and child.Copy !req
1016. Left them clingin' to life
as they turned them to ash from low orbit.Copy !req
1017. You know what that taught me?Copy !req
1018. Never set foot
on the wrong side of history.Copy !req
1019. Is that what you think we're doing?Copy !req
1020. No.Copy !req
1021. You've chosen the side that
doesn't even make it to the history books.Copy !req
1022. What happened to honor?Copy !req
1023. What did happen to it?Copy !req
1024. Piece of shit.Copy !req
1025. Well, who all have we got here?Copy !req
1026. Who indeed?Copy !req
1027. Commander Bloodaxe.Copy !req
1028. Leader of the very insurgencyCopy !req
1029. the King's Gaze was sent to
this backwater of the galaxy to capture.Copy !req
1030. He alone will secure
my seat in the Senate.Copy !req
1031. I would be remiss if I failed to mention
we are in the presence of royalty.Copy !req
1032. Tarak Decimus.Copy !req
1033. Or should I say Prince Tarak?Copy !req
1034. General Titus.Copy !req
1035. Needs no introduction, does he?Copy !req
1036. His actions
at the Battle of Sarawu precede him.Copy !req
1037. The farmer.Copy !req
1038. The ambitious farmer.Copy !req
1039. I pride myself on never being surprised.Copy !req
1040. And yet, here I am.Copy !req
1041. I understand
why all of them are here… but you.Copy !req
1042. What could you have possibly hoped to gain
by mounting such a… feeble stand?Copy !req
1043. Tell me.Copy !req
1044. Oh, yes.Copy !req
1045. The legendary swordswoman
known only by the name of Nemesis.Copy !req
1046. Assassinated 16 high-ranking
Imperial officersCopy !req
1047. and their security details.Copy !req
1048. All in a hunt
to avenge her slaughtered children.Copy !req
1049. Oh…Copy !req
1050. Of course.Copy !req
1051. Now I thought I recognized
something in you,Copy !req
1052. down in that filthy village.Copy !req
1053. Out there,
amongst all those simple people,Copy !req
1054. the most wanted fugitive
in the known universe.Copy !req
1055. Scargiver. Arthelais.Copy !req
1056. Do you know what you've
done for me, Arthelais, truly?Copy !req
1057. Assembling yourself as such?Copy !req
1058. When I lay your bodies
at the foot of the Regent,Copy !req
1059. I'll be a hero of the Realm.Copy !req
1060. They'll write songs
of my feats of courage.Copy !req
1061. It's not like I didn't do all the work.Copy !req
1062. Let's move this along, shall we?Copy !req
1063. Let's transport them paralyzed,
in case anyone's feeling frisky.Copy !req
1064. On your feet. I've got a job for you.Copy !req
1065. Look…
Okay, okay.Copy !req
1066. You play your cards right, you at least
might make it out of this alive.Copy !req
1067. You're sick.Copy !req
1068. And you're a coward.Copy !req
1069. All you have to do
is pull the trigger.Copy !req
1070. I won't do it.Copy !req
1071. Yes, you will.Copy !req
1072. You can do it. Just pull the trigger.Copy !req
1073. - I know you're in love with her.Copy !req
1074. Kora.Copy !req
1075. Gunnar.Copy !req
1076. I'm so sorry.Copy !req
1077. You can do it.Copy !req
1078. Pilots! To your ships!Copy !req
1079. Cut me loose! We gotta go!Copy !req
1080. No!Copy !req
1081. This is perfect.Copy !req
1082. They gave their lives for us.Copy !req
1083. They believed in their cause.Copy !req
1084. What better thing to die for?Copy !req
1085. And I should have died with them.Copy !req
1086. I know a thing or two aboutCopy !req
1087. the guilt of carrying on when those
you've sworn to fight with are gone.Copy !req
1088. Honor them.Copy !req
1089. With everything that you can from now.Copy !req
1090. Carry them.Copy !req
1091. This was a blow to the Motherworld,
what we did this day.Copy !req
1092. Criminals, nobodies,
standing against a machine of war.Copy !req
1093. This small act of defiance
gives voice to the voiceless.Copy !req
1094. This is more than just a fallen
prick officer and some of his men.Copy !req
1095. It's the beginning of something.Copy !req
1096. What will they do now?Copy !req
1097. The crews of the Imperium
are not known for their bravery.Copy !req
1098. After the death of an admiral,
protocol will demand the ship's return.Copy !req
1099. That's good.Copy !req
1100. We still get paid, I presume?Copy !req
1101. A deal is a deal.Copy !req
1102. Payment awaits us on Veldt.Copy !req
1103. I owe you thanks, Gunnar.
You know, I never did trust that pilot.Copy !req
1104. We all owe him thanks.Copy !req
1105. He saved us.Copy !req
1106. I've been wondering.Copy !req
1107. Is what that dead bounty hunter said true?Copy !req
1108. That you're Arthelais?Copy !req
1109. Kai was a liar and a thief
who nearly sold you all for a profit.Copy !req
1110. Anything more you want, General?Copy !req
1111. Don't call me General.Copy !req
1112. Hey, you see it?Copy !req
1113. There.Copy !req
1114. That's our village.Copy !req
1115. Home.Copy !req
1116. Home.Copy !req
1117. I never had a place to put to the word.Copy !req
1118. It's almost a shame
you killed that son-of-a-bitch NobleCopy !req
1119. and we don't have to fight.Copy !req
1120. This would've been
a beautiful place to die.Copy !req
1121. Yes, it would.Copy !req
1122. Let's go.Copy !req
1123. Ready him for transmission.Copy !req
1124. Balisarius is standing by.Copy !req
1125. Sir,
should we stabilize him first?Copy !req
1126. No,
we will not keep the Regent waiting.Copy !req
1127. Neurolink.Copy !req
1128. - Link is established.Copy !req
1129. Connection complete.Copy !req
1130. Signal is strong.Copy !req
1131. Send him.Copy !req
1132. Master.Copy !req
1133. Balisarius.Copy !req
1134. I have found her.Copy !req
1135. I have found Arthelais.Copy !req
1136. The Scargiver.Copy !req
1137. - You're certain it's her?
- I am, my Lord.Copy !req
1138. She was in the company of the disgraced
General Titus and Darrian Bloodaxe.Copy !req
1139. We are close to capturing them.Copy !req
1140. Tell me, Commander. Did you think
that this would be good news?Copy !req
1141. That my daughter, Arthelais,Copy !req
1142. one of the most dangerous
and decorated warriorsCopy !req
1143. in the history of armed conflict,
is now part of a blossoming insurgency?Copy !req
1144. I'm supposed to be happyCopy !req
1145. that she's joined forces with the genius
battlefield commander, General Titus?Copy !req
1146. Sir, she is within our grasp.Copy !req
1147. Let me bring you her head.Copy !req
1148. In truth, I fear the head
most endangered here is yours.Copy !req
1149. You will crush this insurgency
to the last man, do you hear me?Copy !req
1150. And then you will capture
my daughter aliveCopy !req
1151. and bring back my precious child to me.Copy !req
1152. So that I may crucify her
in the shadow of the Senate.Copy !req
1153. If you cannot bring her to me,Copy !req
1154. then the one whose public executionCopy !req
1155. will send shivers
down the spines of the senators,Copy !req
1156. and whose screams
will echo down its marbled hallsCopy !req
1157. will be yours.Copy !req
1158. Did he make it back?Copy !req
1159. I don't know.Copy !req
1160. I have no heartbeat or brain function.Copy !req
1161. Hit him with everything.Copy !req
