FADE IN:
INT. GALEN'S SHIP
Galen is alone, as always, in the darkness.
GALEN
Good day Lieutenant Matheson. I will meet up with the Excalibur. Tell Matthew
(beat)
Tell him, he needs to get more sleep.
MATHESON (COMM)
More sleep?
GALEN
Correct. He'll know what I mean.
MATHESON (COMM)
Right
(beat)
You're clear for departure in your own time Galen.
GALEN (Cutting Comm)
Ship. Take us out. Set a course for Rakella Prime. Best speed.
(beat)
Galen produces his crystal ball, which displays Rakella: an orangey, red world with a large polar ice cap.
GALEN
Ship, alert me when we arrive. I must take my time to prepare.
(beat)
Nava. I know you're on Rakella. I soon, so shall I.
INT. EXCALIBUR – BRIDGE
Gideon is in his chair.
MATHESON (Coming from CONN)
Sir. We're ready to jump to normal space.
GIDEON
Is that Earth Force ship still transmitting it's distress call?
MATHESON
Affirmative. Oh, Galen informed to me inform you: that you need more sleep?
GIDEON (Puzzled)
More sleep? What does he mean by that?
MATHESON
He said you'd understand.
GIDEON
Sometimes I don't think I understand anything. Sometimes I think maybe the universe is just toying with me.
MATHESON
Captain?
GIDEON
Never mind. Jump to normal space and try and raise the ship. And ready weapons in case we're going into a war zone.
MATHESON
Aye Captain. Initiating jump sequence.
EXT. RAKELLA PRIME ORBIT
A small moon can be seen orbiting the orangey red planet. A Jump point opens on the dark side of that moon. The CAMERA moves to focus on it's creator: Galen's ship exits and heads towards the planet.
INT. GALEN'S SHIP
GALEN
Ship. Scan the surface. Do you detect one such as yourself?
SHIP
Negative.
GALEN
Odd. Show me.
A holographic map appears of an area of the planet's surface. The surface is bare, and the display begins to scroll. Eventually a large cluster of metallic buildings comes up.
GALEN
Ship. Scan that area.
SHIP
Buildings are consistent with Earth Alliance colonial structures.
GALEN
Humanity? This isn't on any of those lists Matthew is always pouring over.
(Beat)
Ship. Take us closer. We're going to land.
EXT. EXCALIBUR – NORMAL SPACE
We SEE a patch of blank space. A jump point opens and the Excalibur suddenly leaps from the blue mist. The CAMERA moves to around behind the Excalibur to show the ship they've received the distress call from. It is a Warlock Class destroyer.
INT. EXCALIBUR – BRIDGE
MATHESON
No sign of any attackers Captain. But the ship is definitely disabled.
GIDEON
Can you establish communications?
MATHESON
Attempting. . .
(Types a few controls over a tech's shoulder)
She is the EAS Titans, one of the prototype Warlock Destroyers. She's transmitting.
The main screen suddenly displays a picture of the Titans' captain. One: SUSAN IVANOVA
FOCUS IN as we,
