1. On the far edges
of the Motherworld's reach,Copy !req
2. circling the gas giant Mara,
was the small moon of Veldt.Copy !req
3. There, a village of humble farmers
lived a simple life, born of the earth,Copy !req
4. until the shadow of a warship
fell upon their fields.Copy !req
5. The ship's commander, Admiral Noble,Copy !req
6. demanded more
than Veldt's people could give.Copy !req
7. So it was that a woman named Kora,
and a man named Gunnar,Copy !req
8. set forth from the villageCopy !req
9. to gather warriors
to stand against the Dreadnought.Copy !req
10. On Neu-Wodi, they were joined
by the mighty Tarak.Copy !req
11. In the mines of Daggus,
the fierce Nemesis.Copy !req
12. In the colosseum of Pollux,
the wayward General Titus.Copy !req
13. And on the planet Sharaan,Copy !req
14. Darrian Bloodaxe
and his lieutenant, Milius.Copy !req
15. In an ambush
on the floating docks of Gondival,Copy !req
16. Kora triumphed over Admiral Noble,Copy !req
17. leaving his shattered body
on the rocky coastline.Copy !req
18. The victorious warriors returned to Veldt
to collect their pay,Copy !req
19. the threat of a Dreadnought extinguished...Copy !req
20. Or so they believed.Copy !req
21. Commander Cassius.Copy !req
22. - He is alive?
- He is.Copy !req
23. Just.Copy !req
24. But he's far from recovered.Copy !req
25. He had no brain function
for quite a while.Copy !req
26. We don't know how bad the damage was.Copy !req
27. We'll know what's left of him
when we bring him out of the chrysalis.Copy !req
28. His airways are clear.Copy !req
29. He's breathing on his own.Copy !req
30. Admiral.Copy !req
31. Admiral, it's me.Copy !req
32. Cassius?Copy !req
33. Yes.Copy !req
34. Where am I?Copy !req
35. You're aboard your ship, sir.Copy !req
36. The King's Gaze.Copy !req
37. We have been holding in orbit
around Gondival,Copy !req
38. hoping for your recovery, sir.Copy !req
39. And thank the old gods,
our prayers have been answered.Copy !req
40. Cassius, listen to me.Copy !req
41. She's on Veldt.Copy !req
42. Who?Copy !req
43. Who is?Copy !req
44. The Scargiver.Copy !req
45. She's on Veldt.Copy !req
46. Set course for Veldt.Copy !req
47. Yes, Admiral.Copy !req
48. It will be done.Copy !req
49. I'm Hagen.Copy !req
50. This is Den.Copy !req
51. We welcome you to our humble village.Copy !req
52. You must be tired and hungry.Copy !req
53. And thirsty.Copy !req
54. Well, we have prepared food
and drink for you in the Longhouse.Copy !req
55. Come on. You'll see what great hosts
my people can be.Copy !req
56. Let's bring these urakis
to the stable.Copy !req
57. They've come back.Copy !req
58. Well, how do they look?Copy !req
59. Strong, like warriors, I guess.Copy !req
60. - How many of them?
- Six.Copy !req
61. - With Kora and Gunnar.
- Six.Copy !req
62. It won't matter how strong they are,
will it?Copy !req
63. Commander Cassius.Copy !req
64. Soldier. All is as it should be, I trust.Copy !req
65. Yes, sir. All is on target.Copy !req
66. Nothing out of the ordinary?Copy !req
67. - No, sir.
- Very well.Copy !req
68. Ensure that the harvest
is brought in as planned,Copy !req
69. and ready for our arrival
in five days' time.Copy !req
70. Five days?Copy !req
71. Come.Copy !req
72. Now, please eat.
You must all be very hungry.Copy !req
73. Okay.Copy !req
74. Our villagers have prepared
a bounty of food and drinkCopy !req
75. to show their fealty
and gratitude at your arrival.Copy !req
76. But where is everyone?Copy !req
77. How would you feel?Copy !req
78. The lot of you, if you were not capable
of standing to protect your own home?Copy !req
79. Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
80. If you had to ask others
to lay down their lives for you.Copy !req
81. They should see there's no shame
in our being here.Copy !req
82. To swallow their pride to ask for help,Copy !req
83. that is bravery itself.Copy !req
84. - Thank you.
- Yes.Copy !req
85. And as it happens,
nobody need lay down their lives.Copy !req
86. A defense won't be necessary.Copy !req
87. - Admiral Noble's dead.
- What?Copy !req
88. - He's dead?
- Really?Copy !req
89. You need to say it again.
He doesn't believe it.Copy !req
90. He's dead.Copy !req
91. You do not believe that they will return?Copy !req
92. I don't.Copy !req
93. It's Imperial protocol
in the event of an admiral's deathCopy !req
94. to return to the Motherworld at once.Copy !req
95. Then we owe you
an even deeper debt of gratitude...Copy !req
96. You're wrong.Copy !req
97. I just received word.Copy !req
98. They'll be here in five days.Copy !req
99. Is that true?Copy !req
100. - Five days?
- Yes.Copy !req
101. I thought you said
that you killed Admiral Noble.Copy !req
102. I did kill him. His body was smashed
on the rocks. He is dead.Copy !req
103. It's against protocol to come without
an admiral to command the ship, right?Copy !req
104. That is true.Copy !req
105. But death is not always deterrent enough
for the designs of the Motherworld.Copy !req
106. They must be more in need of this grain
than we could have known.Copy !req
107. - Hagen?
- Yes.Copy !req
108. Call your villagers. Let me talk to them.Copy !req
109. Okay.Copy !req
110. Dark days lie ahead of us all.Copy !req
111. When the time comes...Copy !req
112. we may all have to stand together,Copy !req
113. in battle, as brothers.Copy !req
114. To succeed,Copy !req
115. there must be trust between us.Copy !req
116. In time, we will teach you how to fight.Copy !req
117. But first, you must show us your strength.Copy !req
118. The way of the land.Copy !req
119. If we do not act quickly,
the destruction of your village...Copy !req
120. is all but assured.Copy !req
121. Now, how long does it take
to bring in your crop?Copy !req
122. Half a cycle around Mara.Copy !req
123. No, it must be done in three days' time.Copy !req
124. - What?
- It can't be done.Copy !req
125. We need
every man and woman who's able.Copy !req
126. The grain is our most powerful weapon.Copy !req
127. Without it,Copy !req
128. they are liable to blow us
out of existence from orbit.Copy !req
129. If we bring it in fast,Copy !req
130. we can use it,
both as a bartering tool and shield.Copy !req
131. Now rest well.Copy !req
132. The work begins at dawn.Copy !req
133. You heard the man.Copy !req
134. Dawn.Copy !req
135. You think they'll learn
to trust one another?Copy !req
136. They're frightened...Copy !req
137. of outsiders, the battle to come,
for their lives.Copy !req
138. Trust? I don't know.Copy !req
139. I just hope they all have the courage
to stand and fight, if it comes to it.Copy !req
140. I had no idea
what it would be like to fight.Copy !req
141. How much it would scare me.Copy !req
142. You are afraid to die.Copy !req
143. That's okay. Everyone is.Copy !req
144. I didn't even think about dying
in the moment.Copy !req
145. If you would've asked me before
how I feel,Copy !req
146. I would have said I'd be petrified.Copy !req
147. And I was scared.Copy !req
148. The most afraid I've ever been in my life.Copy !req
149. What was it you were so afraid of?Copy !req
150. If it wasn't death?Copy !req
151. It was you.Copy !req
152. It was losing you.Copy !req
153. What Noble said...Copy !req
154. about you being the most wanted criminal
in the known universe.Copy !req
155. You don't become that
simply by running away.Copy !req
156. You remember how I told you
I was raised by Balisarius?Copy !req
157. Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
158. Regent of the Imperium?Copy !req
159. And how I was the bodyguard
to the Princess Issa?Copy !req
160. Yes.Copy !req
161. And that you were a decorated warrior.Copy !req
162. Friend of the royal family.Copy !req
163. What happened to them?Copy !req
164. Under the healing influence
of his daughter,Copy !req
165. the King had begun to see
many things in a different light.Copy !req
166. It was the dedication
of what would beCopy !req
167. the last Dreadnought class battleship.Copy !req
168. A symbolic end to an age of expansion.Copy !req
169. In accordance with tradition,
the King would dedicate every ship,Copy !req
170. but not this time.Copy !req
171. This would be
the princess's first royal duty.Copy !req
172. Her first official act.Copy !req
173. The ship would be named Peacemaker
and bear her royal seal.Copy !req
174. Make no mistake.Copy !req
175. I was the loyal daughter
of my adopted father.Copy !req
176. I could not betray him or defy him.Copy !req
177. He had told me the princess must die.Copy !req
178. And die she would.Copy !req
179. My father said he would not stand byCopy !req
180. and watch this child
dismantle the war machineCopy !req
181. we sacrificed so much for.Copy !req
182. I had faith
that Balisarius would protect meCopy !req
183. and the Empire he so loved.Copy !req
184. Attention!Copy !req
185. Strange.Copy !req
186. Something's wrong.Copy !req
187. Balisarius.Copy !req
188. Where is the Kali?
Why aren't the furnaces lit?Copy !req
189. Balisarius, I am talking to you.Copy !req
190. Answer me, man!Copy !req
191. Issa, run! Issa!Copy !req
192. You bastard.Copy !req
193. No!Copy !req
194. Do it.Copy !req
195. What are you waiting for?Copy !req
196. What are you waiting for, child? Do it!Copy !req
197. - Do it.
- No.Copy !req
198. - No, no.
- Do it. Kill her.Copy !req
199. - Kill her!
- No!Copy !req
200. I forgive you.Copy !req
201. Don't.Copy !req
202. What have you done?Copy !req
203. What have you done?Copy !req
204. Seize her!Copy !req
205. There she is, gentlemen.Copy !req
206. The assassin of the royal family.Copy !req
207. An off-worlder.Copy !req
208. A cancer of ethnic impurities.Copy !req
209. Murderer.Copy !req
210. - Murderer!
- Murderer!Copy !req
211. - Murderer!
- Killer!Copy !req
212. - Traitor!
- Snake!Copy !req
213. Scum!Copy !req
214. I fought my way to the shuttle.Copy !req
215. And I've been living life
as an outlaw ever since.Copy !req
216. I thought about letting them kill me
or just not fighting.Copy !req
217. But somehow, the last words of the child...Copy !req
218. Her forgiveness.Copy !req
219. I felt the only way to honor her
was to run.Copy !req
220. And try to be, I don't know...Copy !req
221. more than a weapon.Copy !req
222. More than a weapon.Copy !req
223. It's what we're all trying to be.Copy !req
224. It's what you are.Copy !req
225. Good morning!Copy !req
226. Morning!Copy !req
227. This is the wake-up call.
Wake up, everyone.Copy !req
228. People, get up.Copy !req
229. It's time to work.Copy !req
230. Come on, you lazy people! Wake up!Copy !req
231. We don't have much time!Copy !req
232. Commander, I have
the chief medical technician.Copy !req
233. Put him through.Copy !req
234. Release me!Copy !req
235. You should come down here.Copy !req
236. This is treason.
I command this ship.Copy !req
237. By the old gods, I'll have each
and every one of you court marshalled!Copy !req
238. I swear it! Every one of you will die!
I need none of you!Copy !req
239. Come down here now.Copy !req
240. On my way.Copy !req
241. I'll murder
every one of you myself!Copy !req
242. Admiral, you're not ready for this.Copy !req
243. I am still
commander of this ship!Copy !req
244. Why do you stand there
staring at me? Cowards!Copy !req
245. - This is treachery!
- Welcome back, sir.Copy !req
246. Are you ready to resume your command?Copy !req
247. Yes, of course I am.
Now tell these idiots to release me.Copy !req
248. Sir, as I've already told you,Copy !req
249. there are protocols before you can
be cleared to resume command.Copy !req
250. Tests that need to be conducted
to see if you are mentally and...Copy !req
251. Let me help you with your evaluation.Copy !req
252. Unhook him!Copy !req
253. How far are we from Veldt?Copy !req
254. A few days, sir.Copy !req
255. Admiral, my apologies
for the scar that was leftCopy !req
256. by this incompetent medical team.Copy !req
257. I'm sure it can be removed.Copy !req
258. No.Copy !req
259. No, leave it.Copy !req
260. She gave it to me.Copy !req
261. When I deliver her to BalisariusCopy !req
262. and her body is displayed
in the rotunda of the Senate,Copy !req
263. I shall bare my chest.Copy !req
264. And it will stand as a symbolCopy !req
265. that it is I who brought to justice
the Scargiver,Copy !req
266. as it is I that stands before my people
as a savior.Copy !req
267. How's the harvest been going?
Any protests from the villagers?Copy !req
268. No, sir.Copy !req
269. All is to schedule.Copy !req
270. I've not seen Faunus or Marcus
during your reports.Copy !req
271. They've been busy
driving the villagers, sir.Copy !req
272. Getting that extra bit of work
out of them.Copy !req
273. Very well.Copy !req
274. The work has continued around the clock.Copy !req
275. We should have
all the grain milled into flourCopy !req
276. just in time for your arrival.Copy !req
277. Excellent, Private.Copy !req
278. And if the villagers
have held up their end,Copy !req
279. maybe some mercy's in order.Copy !req
280. These dogs deserve nothing but our boot.Copy !req
281. Is that right?Copy !req
282. We'll see...Copy !req
283. when the job is done.Copy !req
284. For the slain King.Copy !req
285. For the slain King.Copy !req
286. Well, it's clear
that Faunus and MarcusCopy !req
287. and the rest of their men are dead.Copy !req
288. The Scargiver's among them.Copy !req
289. And it seems our young private
has chosen a side.Copy !req
290. Everyone, if I could just...Copy !req
291. I wanted to welcome our new friends.Copy !req
292. I want to give you
these small gifts I've made.Copy !req
293. I know you all come from placesCopy !req
294. much richer and more sophisticated
than here,Copy !req
295. so I hope my gifts don't insult you
with their simplicity.Copy !req
296. But I've made them with gratitude.Copy !req
297. When I first saw
you all ride into our village,Copy !req
298. I felt like General Titus
was like the mountains themselves.Copy !req
299. Strong and unmoving.Copy !req
300. Thank you.Copy !req
301. Tarak.Copy !req
302. Your spirit is untamable...Copy !req
303. but your nobility is undeniable.Copy !req
304. Like the snow elk.Copy !req
305. Thank you. Thank you.Copy !req
306. Young Milius...Copy !req
307. who shines as the sun upon our faces,Copy !req
308. warming us and bringing us comfort,Copy !req
309. steadfast and true.Copy !req
310. Thank you.Copy !req
311. Nemesis.Copy !req
312. Fierce as a storm
with its flashes of lightning,Copy !req
313. but with its life-giving rain.Copy !req
314. That is the source of life.Copy !req
315. The storm is the mother of us all.Copy !req
316. Thank you.Copy !req
317. Gunnar.Copy !req
318. You are our heart.Copy !req
319. You give us hope.Copy !req
320. It's beautiful. Thank you.Copy !req
321. Look at this.Copy !req
322. And Kora.Copy !req
323. You are our guardian wolf
with bared teeth.Copy !req
324. You stand between us and annihilation.Copy !req
325. The strength of all of us together.Copy !req
326. Let's eat!Copy !req
327. You all right?Copy !req
328. - Okay?
- Yes. Yeah.Copy !req
329. Skoal.Copy !req
330. - Den, show us that move again!
- You ready?Copy !req
331. That's it!Copy !req
332. All right.Copy !req
333. Today, we begin the preparation
for our defense.Copy !req
334. We start by moving the grain
into the village,Copy !req
335. so that they can't shoot us from orbit
without risking its destruction.Copy !req
336. Now the weapons
left behind by the ImperiumCopy !req
337. will help us hold our ground.Copy !req
338. Armor-piercing
high-explosive detonators.Copy !req
339. - We've got some comms.
- Good.Copy !req
340. The blood won't come out easy,
but we can try.Copy !req
341. No, it's perfect. Leave it.
Do we have more?Copy !req
342. Sure.Copy !req
343. Gather and account
for every hunting rifle.Copy !req
344. Every knife.Copy !req
345. Every round of ammunition in the village.Copy !req
346. We'll need to dig defensive positions
to give us the element of surprise.Copy !req
347. All right.Copy !req
348. Astrid. Let's see what you got.Copy !req
349. Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
350. Wait.Copy !req
351. Tuck your elbow.Copy !req
352. Keep both eyes open.Copy !req
353. Okay. Today we're going to learn
the basics of attack and defense.Copy !req
354. We have turned your harvesting tools
into weapons.Copy !req
355. So, what we're going to try and do is...Copy !req
356. that.Copy !req
357. Yeah.Copy !req
358. Like a professional.Copy !req
359. Great.Copy !req
360. Really good.Copy !req
361. We've got a natural.Copy !req
362. Here.Copy !req
363. Go!Copy !req
364. Coming down.Copy !req
365. That's Kora's dropship.Copy !req
366. She was in bad shape
when I dragged her out.Copy !req
367. How long has it been here?Copy !req
368. - Two seasons.
- Let's go.Copy !req
369. The ship Kora was found in
still rests in the mountains to the east.Copy !req
370. Now, with sweat and working together,
we could pull it out.Copy !req
371. It could be a powerful asset.Copy !req
372. Wow, it still works.Copy !req
373. Hold on.Copy !req
374. - How many?
- Look, you have 15 rifles...Copy !req
375. But it doesn't matter
how many we have.Copy !req
376. How many people know how to work...Copy !req
377. - Ivar should not have a weapon.
- I completely agree.Copy !req
378. We'll sharpen all the blades.Copy !req
379. We just need to figure out what...Copy !req
380. Listen. Listen.Copy !req
381. I've never been one
for making confessions.Copy !req
382. Mmm.Copy !req
383. Now we know what each of us must do.Copy !req
384. You're all here because I want you to know
who the hell you're fighting with.Copy !req
385. Everyone must share the truth.Copy !req
386. I'll go first.Copy !req
387. Sarawu.Copy !req
388. The Regent Balisarius had sent meCopy !req
389. and my ship as a show of forceCopy !req
390. to hover above the parliament of Sarawu,Copy !req
391. so the choice of whether or not to vote
for independence from the RealmCopy !req
392. would be obvious.Copy !req
393. But the brave people of that world
defiantly voted for freedom,Copy !req
394. and in answer, I was ordered
to open fire on the capitol.Copy !req
395. I refused, and my ship was shot down.Copy !req
396. Crawling from the wreckage,Copy !req
397. we fought the forces of the Motherworld
till our guns were dry.Copy !req
398. I knew my men would fight with me
to the death.Copy !req
399. So I struck a deal.Copy !req
400. My men's lives
for the surrender of my own.Copy !req
401. I begged for mercy from the Regent
to spare them.Copy !req
402. But mercy is not known
to the Regent Balisarius.Copy !req
403. To punish me, my men were executed
before my eyes.Copy !req
404. The decision to defy Balisarius
had been mine alone.Copy !req
405. Not a day passes that I don't think
of those men that died for me.Copy !req
406. How my surrender betrayed their courage
and condemned them to their fate.Copy !req
407. Never again.Copy !req
408. I'll never surrender.Copy !req
409. You should understand that today
before you choose to follow me tomorrow.Copy !req
410. I've, uh, never fought in a battle
like the one that's coming.Copy !req
411. But I was raised in a place
that was much like this.Copy !req
412. When the ships appeared in the sky
above my world,Copy !req
413. I looked to my tribal elders
for how we would respond.Copy !req
414. They cowered,Copy !req
415. submitting and giving them everything
because they were too scared to fight.Copy !req
416. They said, "What can we do
against the might of the Motherworld?"Copy !req
417. Those who were too weak
or too old to work were killed.Copy !req
418. The rest of us were scattered
to labor camps all over the universe.Copy !req
419. Families torn apart.Copy !req
420. It was as if my people never existed.Copy !req
421. My camp was liberated
by the Resistance.Copy !req
422. And I found a new family
who showed me another way.Copy !req
423. So when the time comes...Copy !req
424. I'll give my life to protect this village
if need be.Copy !req
425. To stand and die for a place to call home.Copy !req
426. What more honorable end
could one ever hope for?Copy !req
427. I had a life before.Copy !req
428. Long before...Copy !req
429. It seems.Copy !req
430. We were a little fishing village.Copy !req
431. The Imperium troops
slaughtered everything and everyone.Copy !req
432. We were a peaceful people.Copy !req
433. But we hadn't always been.Copy !req
434. Once, long ago...Copy !req
435. we were a people of war.Copy !req
436. I had never killed before,Copy !req
437. never spilled blood,Copy !req
438. until I spilled my own.Copy !req
439. My pain became rage.Copy !req
440. And my rage became revenge.Copy !req
441. But the bloodlust of my ancestors
still lived in those ancient gauntlets.Copy !req
442. My blood awakened them.Copy !req
443. They showed me how to fight.Copy !req
444. And I was reborn.Copy !req
445. But since that day,Copy !req
446. I've been a creature of revenge.Copy !req
447. And yes...Copy !req
448. Yes, I will kill them.Copy !req
449. None of us get to choose our parents.Copy !req
450. And mine happened to be a king and queen.Copy !req
451. My father, the king,Copy !req
452. insisted on presenting our terms
to the armies of the Motherworld himself.Copy !req
453. And their answer was to return his body
with the promise of invasion.Copy !req
454. My mother told me then,
"A boy doesn't become a manCopy !req
455. until his father dies."Copy !req
456. "Then a prince becomes a king."Copy !req
457. That was the last time I cried.Copy !req
458. Soon after,
their ships darkened our skies.Copy !req
459. And my mother, for honor's sake,
she would not run.Copy !req
460. I wanted to stay to protect her,Copy !req
461. but the Queen knew to preserve
the bloodline and the throne.Copy !req
462. I lost my mother...Copy !req
463. and my world that day.Copy !req
464. I was smuggled off-planet,Copy !req
465. hidden in a refugee transport
headed for a near bright star.Copy !req
466. I ran for duty's sake,Copy !req
467. for the preservation of a kingdom
and a bloodline that no longer exists.Copy !req
468. I was robbed of my opportunity
to defend them.Copy !req
469. But no more. When we finish here,Copy !req
470. that is where I'll go.Copy !req
471. Home.Copy !req
472. To atone for the...Copy !req
473. mistake of misplaced honor.Copy !req
474. Kora.Copy !req
475. We haven't heard from you.
What is your story?Copy !req
476. I am a war orphan.Copy !req
477. The discipline
of a military life suited me.Copy !req
478. I served on a ship
very much like the King's Gaze.Copy !req
479. Never having a family,
I believed I had found one.Copy !req
480. That is until I arrived here on Veldt.Copy !req
481. This place taught me what a home
and family could really be.Copy !req
482. Anything else you'd like to add?Copy !req
483. Hm?Copy !req
484. No.Copy !req
485. Sure?Copy !req
486. How's the spring water?Copy !req
487. What?Copy !req
488. For several days now,Copy !req
489. Titus pretends to drink,Copy !req
490. because he doesn't want us to know
how much he cares about the coming battle.Copy !req
491. It really is water.Copy !req
492. Old stories can be hard to give up.Copy !req
493. Yes, they can.Copy !req
494. Friends...Copy !req
495. I can only say...Copy !req
496. thank you for coming to this village,Copy !req
497. and giving us hope.Copy !req
498. Thank you.Copy !req
499. I don't know what will come of all of us
by end of day tomorrow.Copy !req
500. I can only pray
that your pasts will burden you less.Copy !req
501. Well said. We'll drink to that.Copy !req
502. The village is ready.Copy !req
503. Good.
Whatever handful of officersCopy !req
504. they send down to collect the grain,Copy !req
505. we take them.Copy !req
506. With all our strength in the field,
with no mercy,Copy !req
507. sparing none who set foot on your land.Copy !req
508. Then what?Copy !req
509. Negotiate a trade?Copy !req
510. You think they would listen?Copy !req
511. I do.Copy !req
512. But should all go wrong, as it well may,Copy !req
513. you see to it that the dropship
is still in working orderCopy !req
514. and first thing in the morning
hidden from view.Copy !req
515. I will.Copy !req
516. Water.Copy !req
517. Really, Titus?Copy !req
518. And that's General Titus.Copy !req
519. - Of course.
- To you.Copy !req
520. Hello, James.Copy !req
521. You know, the last person
who called me thatCopy !req
522. was the old commander
of the Mechanicas MilitariumCopy !req
523. as he died in my arms.Copy !req
524. Oh, I'm sorry.Copy !req
525. It's all right. I like the way it sounds.Copy !req
526. It makes me feel
something other than hopelessness.Copy !req
527. You see...Copy !req
528. I was given memories of a world
I will never see,Copy !req
529. loyalty to a king I cannot serveCopy !req
530. and love for a child I could not save.Copy !req
531. But the sound of that name as you say itCopy !req
532. lets me feel, even in the smallest way...Copy !req
533. why I exist at all.Copy !req
534. Is that why you saved Sam?Copy !req
535. I'm not certain.Copy !req
536. I know only that the thought of her
being hurt or destroyedCopy !req
537. opened a part of me that had been closed.Copy !req
538. You're choosing a side, James.Copy !req
539. You and I are alike,
designed to kill for them.Copy !req
540. Understand, their nightmare
is you and I fighting together.Copy !req
541. Not because we are ordered or commanded,Copy !req
542. but to defend something we love.Copy !req
543. You must know you cannot win.Copy !req
544. All set.Copy !req
545. Dreadnought.Copy !req
546. Finish it! Finish up! Finish up! Come on!Copy !req
547. Quick, quick, quick!Copy !req
548. Finish your work! Find your positions!Copy !req
549. Cover it up!Copy !req
550. These are the new formations.Copy !req
551. It's the grain.Copy !req
552. Look, they piled it against a building
so we can't destroy them.Copy !req
553. And there and there, they've stacked it
as cover to shoot from.Copy !req
554. Clever.Copy !req
555. Hmm.Copy !req
556. Certainly not the plans of a farmer.Copy !req
557. It seems General Titus hasn't
drunk away his wits just yet.Copy !req
558. Look here.Copy !req
559. Thermal imaging shows clusters of people
in the LonghouseCopy !req
560. at the top of the village.Copy !req
561. No doubt they're women and children.Copy !req
562. Hmm. Good. We'll do our best to forestall
a pitched battle in the village.Copy !req
563. While I negotiate,
we'll dispatch the KrypteiaCopy !req
564. to capture the women and children.Copy !req
565. We'll land a small contingent of armor.Copy !req
566. We won't need it when they see blades
at the throat of their most vulnerable.Copy !req
567. Then we'll see
how motivated they are to fight.Copy !req
568. Everybody inside now!Copy !req
569. - Let's go. Come on.
- Come on, everybody. Faster.Copy !req
570. Get inside. Let's go. Move, move!Copy !req
571. No village welcome, no?Copy !req
572. Where's my warm embrace?Copy !req
573. I was never given that cup of ale,
you know.Copy !req
574. Arthelais.Copy !req
575. Tell me what we're trying to achieve here.Copy !req
576. The same thing as the last time we met.Copy !req
577. I kill you.Copy !req
578. Yes.Copy !req
579. What an honor it was.Copy !req
580. A scar. From the Scargiver herself.Copy !req
581. No blood
need be spilled here today.Copy !req
582. I will offer you one chance
to avoid slaughter.Copy !req
583. You do understand
what the Regent Balisarius will give meCopy !req
584. when I bring you to your knees before him?Copy !req
585. A seat in the Senate is what you seek,
I would imagine.Copy !req
586. It's what I deserve.Copy !req
587. If so, take the grain you need
to feed your menCopy !req
588. on your voyage back to the Motherworld.Copy !req
589. No more and no less.Copy !req
590. You leave the villagers unharmed.Copy !req
591. Report to Balisarius that the warriors
you sought evaded capture.Copy !req
592. And I should take nothing, yes?Copy !req
593. Nothing at all?Copy !req
594. You take your lives.Copy !req
595. This is your choice.Copy !req
596. Disgrace and relegation,
or your head cleaved from your shoulders.Copy !req
597. Your ship serving as your tomb.Copy !req
598. Your families
and all of the Motherworld to knowCopy !req
599. that you were slaughtered
by the peasants of Veldt.Copy !req
600. I've been tasked
with bringing honor to the Motherworld.Copy !req
601. I intend to see
that task through to its end.Copy !req
602. What amuses me most about all of this?Copy !req
603. You think you have any power
with which to negotiate? You do not.Copy !req
604. You think I don't know
you're hiding your women and children?Copy !req
605. As you stand there talking to me,
your plan is already failing.Copy !req
606. Well, unless of course a different
arrangement could be made, perhaps.Copy !req
607. I could take the grain you offered.Copy !req
608. I could do as you asked
and leave the villagers their lives.Copy !req
609. There would be one cost
to this concession, however.Copy !req
610. And that cost is you.Copy !req
611. Of course every member of your band would
be greatly treasured by the Imperium,Copy !req
612. but there is no denying
the one most sought afterCopy !req
613. by the Honorable Regent is you.Copy !req
614. Arthelais herself.Copy !req
615. So herein lies your choice.Copy !req
616. Arthelais, surrender to me.Copy !req
617. And I'll permit the villagers to live.Copy !req
618. However, if you refuse,Copy !req
619. those this village holds most dear,Copy !req
620. the elderly, the children,Copy !req
621. currently sheltered up in that Longhouse,Copy !req
622. will be slaughtered by my men
on their way now.Copy !req
623. Has enough blood not been spilt
in that beautiful building already?Copy !req
624. Are you truly prepared to allow
this to continue in your name?Copy !req
625. It's time, Arthelais.Copy !req
626. What?Copy !req
627. Kora.Copy !req
628. Kora, what are you doing?Copy !req
629. I thought so.Copy !req
630. Why don't you say goodbye to your friend?Copy !req
631. Your father awaits you.Copy !req
632. Kora, look at me.Copy !req
633. Huh?Copy !req
634. What's happening, huh?Copy !req
635. I'm sorry.Copy !req
636. I won't allow this place to die for me.Copy !req
637. I know what I'm doing.Copy !req
638. He's lying to you.Copy !req
639. - Just let me go. Just let me go!
- No!Copy !req
640. No. No.Copy !req
641. No!Copy !req
642. Huh?Copy !req
643. - No. No!
- Come on.Copy !req
644. Move! Move!Copy !req
645. Come on, Kora!
We need to get you up to that ship.Copy !req
646. Come on. You're our only chance.Copy !req
647. Let's go.Copy !req
648. Get up. Go!Copy !req
649. - Get up, soldier!
- I can't.Copy !req
650. Let's go!Copy !req
651. Right to the front!Copy !req
652. AA-77, get out of there immediately.Copy !req
653. Lift off. We need lift off now!Copy !req
654. Bring around the main gun.Copy !req
655. Oh, damn.Copy !req
656. - Go!
- Come on!Copy !req
657. Hold!Copy !req
658. Eyes to the right!Copy !req
659. You're set! Go!Copy !req
660. Let's go!Copy !req
661. Hold on.Copy !req
662. Here!Copy !req
663. We'll drop into formation.Copy !req
664. When I give the signal, start the smoke.Copy !req
665. Holy shit.Copy !req
666. Kora, are you sure?Copy !req
667. Now. Start it now.Copy !req
668. Docking.Copy !req
669. That ship has taken damage.Copy !req
670. I have casualties.Copy !req
671. My instruments are not responding.Copy !req
672. I'm surrendering control.Copy !req
673. We've got you, soldier.Copy !req
674. I'm gonna put you down
into the main hangarCopy !req
675. for maintenance
and medical extraction.Copy !req
676. The time has come for all that you love.Copy !req
677. For your home.Copy !req
678. Protect each other and show them no mercy.Copy !req
679. For Sindri!Copy !req
680. We can't let Titus
and the others do all the work.Copy !req
681. Are you ready?Copy !req
682. To fight and die!Copy !req
683. Let's leave the dying to your enemies!Copy !req
684. Admiral, by now the KrypteiaCopy !req
685. must have captured the women and children.Copy !req
686. We are still waiting for an update, sir.Copy !req
687. One down in the hold!Copy !req
688. - Can you hear me?
- Hey. Are you all right?Copy !req
689. I'm going to attempt to move you now.Copy !req
690. I got you. It's going to be all right.Copy !req
691. All right.Copy !req
692. - It's all right.
- Two down, non-responsive!Copy !req
693. Bring the gurneys!Copy !req
694. Load 'em up.
All right, come on, take him.Copy !req
695. Take the shoulder.
All right, I got the legs.Copy !req
696. Pick the arm up. Here we go.Copy !req
697. All right, let's go.
All right, calling it in.Copy !req
698. Some shrapnel damage, infantry seems
to be suffering from a small ammo wound.Copy !req
699. Two minutes out.
Visual inspection on the elevator.Copy !req
700. Let's go.Copy !req
701. No.Copy !req
702. It's okay.Copy !req
703. You did good.Copy !req
704. Yeah?Copy !req
705. Help me with his helmet. Support the neck.Copy !req
706. Strange. I'm not seeing any wounds.Copy !req
707. How about that one? Stable?Copy !req
708. Pulse is elevated.Copy !req
709. Don't see wounds either,
but there's a little blood.Copy !req
710. Maybe under his armor.Copy !req
711. Get the balaclava off.
There's a wound.Copy !req
712. Checking the pulse.Copy !req
713. This one's pulse is very low.Copy !req
714. Wait. That's...Copy !req
715. Give me the charges.Copy !req
716. - Charges.
- Wait.Copy !req
717. Make your way back to our ship
and have it running.Copy !req
718. We won't have long
to get off this thing before it blows.Copy !req
719. Okay.Copy !req
720. I'll be waiting for you.Copy !req
721. - Should be an elevator down this hall.
- I got it. Be quick.Copy !req
722. All personnel, stay alert.Copy !req
723. Copy. Targeting the safe...Copy !req
724. Intruder alert. Repeat. Intruder alert.Copy !req
725. Sending backup. What is the nature
and number of the intruders?Copy !req
726. Shots fired.Copy !req
727. There are men down.Copy !req
728. It's a woman, I'm telling you...Copy !req
729. A what? What's going on?Copy !req
730. There is a situation in the engine room.Copy !req
731. He said a woman has infiltrated the ship.Copy !req
732. Arthelais.Copy !req
733. Arthelais is aboard this ship.Copy !req
734. That is impossible.Copy !req
735. No, it's her.Copy !req
736. She's come to us.Copy !req
737. It's perfect.Copy !req
738. Alert all sectors.
I want her captured at once.Copy !req
739. And Cassius?Copy !req
740. You may fire on the village.Copy !req
741. Sir, the grain.Copy !req
742. There's no need for the grain now.Copy !req
743. The Scargiver has come to us.Copy !req
744. But we have men on the ground.Copy !req
745. Yes. A few less mouths to feed.Copy !req
746. Once we have the Scargiver,
we'll return directly to the MotherworldCopy !req
747. and we won't need the grain, will we?Copy !req
748. Destroy it.Copy !req
749. You heard the Admiral. Charge the cannons.Copy !req
750. Main gun.Copy !req
751. - Yes, sir.
- Target the village.Copy !req
752. Charge the cannons.Copy !req
753. Right away, sir.Copy !req
754. We have orders to target the surface.Copy !req
755. We've lost contact
with the engine room.Copy !req
756. - Where is she?
- We're looking.Copy !req
757. She's moving from sub-level three to four.Copy !req
758. Tell me what the hell is going on!Copy !req
759. All available security
personnel, report to engine room.Copy !req
760. I need an update now!Copy !req
761. Sir.Copy !req
762. Lieutenant. Sir.Copy !req
763. All commanders
report their headcounts to Command.Copy !req
764. - Forward! Forward!
- Let's go!Copy !req
765. No!Copy !req
766. - I'm going!
- Go, go, go, go, go!Copy !req
767. Are you hit? Are you okay? Come on.Copy !req
768. I thought dying in battle
was all I wanted.Copy !req
769. Fighting for something.Copy !req
770. I think I was wrong.Copy !req
771. I don't think I want to die at all.Copy !req
772. But if I must...Copy !req
773. Together.Copy !req
774. Come on.Copy !req
775. Kora. Kora, where are you?Copy !req
776. The engine's running.
I'm waiting for you.Copy !req
777. We're running out of time.Copy !req
778. I'm almost to you.Copy !req
779. Okay, good.Copy !req
780. Stay alert.Copy !req
781. We have a fugitive aboard the ship.Copy !req
782. Arthelais.Copy !req
783. I suppose I should say thanks
for not accepting my offer of surrender.Copy !req
784. It'll make a better ballad
when I slay you in battle.Copy !req
785. You've done well to get this far.Copy !req
786. Much better than I expected.Copy !req
787. Much better than could be expected
from a bunch of fucking farmers.Copy !req
788. Yeah.Copy !req
789. Hmm?Copy !req
790. Target acquired.Copy !req
791. We have a lock on the village.Copy !req
792. Confirmed.Copy !req
793. Sir!Copy !req
794. What?Copy !req
795. The gun is charged and ready to fire.Copy !req
796. Oh, no.Copy !req
797. Fire at will.Copy !req
798. It's Kora!Copy !req
799. Take her.Copy !req
800. No! No!Copy !req
801. Kora! Kora!Copy !req
802. Come here!Copy !req
803. Open your eyes. Open your eyes!Copy !req
804. Look at me!Copy !req
805. Come on!Copy !req
806. Come on.Copy !req
807. Hey. Hey.Copy !req
808. Hey, hey. Hey. Come here, come here.Copy !req
809. Come here.Copy !req
810. Wait. Okay.Copy !req
811. Hey. Stay with me.Copy !req
812. Stay with me. Stay with me. Stay with me.Copy !req
813. Why can't I have this one thing?Copy !req
814. - Stay with me. Please.
- No. It's okay.Copy !req
815. Look at what you've done.Copy !req
816. You saved us.Copy !req
817. All of us.Copy !req
818. Hey.Copy !req
819. I love you.Copy !req
820. Please.Copy !req
821. Please.Copy !req
822. I know what you are.Copy !req
823. And I love you.Copy !req
824. Please.Copy !req
825. Look!Copy !req
826. Form up on me!Copy !req
827. Yes, Commander. On you.Copy !req
828. Target those dropships!Copy !req
829. Yes, Commander. On you.Copy !req
830. Black Mountain Squadron,
take those fighters.Copy !req
831. Titus! Yes!Copy !req
832. Yes!Copy !req
833. Look, it's Devra Bloodaxe,
and the entire rebel fleet.Copy !req
834. It's really over. It's...Copy !req
835. No.Copy !req
836. No.Copy !req
837. I love you.Copy !req
838. I love you.Copy !req
839. From other worlds
they came to fight for us.Copy !req
840. To die for us.Copy !req
841. May they find their peace.Copy !req
842. We honor them now in the only way we can.Copy !req
843. By remembering their names...Copy !req
844. when next we bring in the harvest.Copy !req
845. A season from now, a hundred seasons.Copy !req
846. And by carrying on.Copy !req
847. By carrying on.Copy !req
848. All of you, honor the fallen.Copy !req
849. You honor my brother and his bravery.Copy !req
850. Do not speak of me
when you speak of honor and bravery.Copy !req
851. I've lied to you.Copy !req
852. To all of you.Copy !req
853. Titus.Copy !req
854. I know, child.Copy !req
855. I know.Copy !req
856. You know that I'm Arthelais?Copy !req
857. Adopted daughter of the Regent Balisarius?Copy !req
858. And the assassin of the Princess Issa?Copy !req
859. I know your name. Yes.Copy !req
860. But you were not her assassin...Copy !req
861. for the princess is still alive.Copy !req
862. You thought she could be killed so easily?Copy !req
863. No. She's more than death.Copy !req
864. What am I to do?Copy !req
865. You have a reason now, do you not?Copy !req
866. To find her and to fight?Copy !req
867. If you do choose to fight,Copy !req
868. I will stand with you.Copy !req
869. All of us.Copy !req
870. And I as well.Copy !req
871. If I could be of use...Copy !req
872. I, too, have this.Copy !req
873. You wish to fight with us, robot?
Help find this lost princess?Copy !req
874. If what you say is true,
and the princess lives,Copy !req
875. I have no choice.Copy !req
876. I serve the line of the slain King.
It is my honor to fight.Copy !req
877. To find her and to fight.Copy !req
878. To find her and to fight.Copy !req
