-I'm just gonna go tell her. -No. No, I...

I wanna tell her myself.

She knows what it's like for you to be away.

You've led explorations before.

Not for this long. Six weeks at most.

-She's a resilient kid. She'll be fine. -But this isn't supply transport.

Or a jump to Cyllene and back.

-It's a two-year run. -I know. I know how long.

-Just go. -It's hard.

I'll go. I'm just thinking about what to say.

Say they're tripling your salary, which is how we can afford to treat her.

-To cure her. -You okay?

I'm fine.

It's two years...

I won't be here.

I know, but when you get back, she will.

Dad!

I can't do it.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah.

Are you sure?

Dad, I just want you to help me with this.

Here. Don't blow so hard.

-Just easy. A little gentle. -I think my thumbs are too small.

Your thumbs are perfect. You're just blowing too hard.

Here, watch me. Watch me.

Why are you so good at everything? You make it look so easy.

It is easy. You just have to know how to do it.

-Don't blow in, blow down. -Okay.

This is you.

It isn't.

-Just blow a little gently. -Okay.

Don't get frustrated. Try again.

It's okay. I know.

-What do you know? -I know that you're leaving.

And I know it's 'cause of me.

No, it's not because of you, it's for you.

So how long will you be gone this time?

I'm the only survivor of a long-range exploratory mission.

My ship was struck by an undocumented asteroid belt.

I believe the debris to be a small cluster from a much larger asteroid system.

But I can't be sure.

We've crash-landed on an uncharted celestial body.

My ship has been severed in half.

Confirmed nine escape pods have been destroyed and two are missing.

The atmosphere is breathable.

All passengers are dead.

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

Stop!

What's your name?

Your name?

Okay. Let's find out who you are.

Passenger number 35.

Your name must be Koa.

It's okay.

Here, let's look at this burn.

Koa, my name is Mills. I was the pilot of the ship.

I was transporting you home before we crashed.

And you've been in cryostasis for...

a long time.

The navigation system is gone. I don't know where we are. It's uncharted.

There is an escape vessel.

But it's high above in the mountains.

That's our only chance to get you off the planet.

There's something alien out there...

that is dangerous.

You understand me, Koa?

I mean, it's Koa?

What'd you say?

What language is that?

Well, I can't...

I can't translate. I don't understand.

No, I don't understand. I can't translate it.

My translator's broken. Like everything else on this damn ship.

What is that, Kuu'ri?

Pris'ka?

Mountain.

We-- We must climb all the way to the top of the mountain.

That's where the other half of our ship is.

Ship.

Mountain? Do you understand mountain?

Escape vessel. Here's an escape vessel.

That's where we...

Over here.

That's how you leave.

-That's how you get home. -Home.

What?

-Home. -Yes.

Home.

What is it, your parents?

Family?

Family.

On the top of the mountain.

That's what I'm trying to tell you. On top of the mountain.

-Family. -Yeah. They're here.

Charter 3703. The daughter of the Ona family is alive.

A child, maybe 9 years old and in good health.

Her name is Koa, from the upper territories,

so we are unable to communicate.

Her parents were passengers.

Both deceased.

I'm taking her to an escape vessel I've located some distance away.

Send help.

Sending distress signal.

Yeah, that's a ship. Just like the one you're driving for work.

Blast off!

I made it. Can you believe it?

School's been pretty fun.

I've been getting good grades, and everything's been going well.

I miss seeing you 'cause I love you.

Hello. We have gotten some amazing news.

It's made me very happy 'cause you have made it halfway.

Here is your halfway celebration.

I'm very proud on you--

Proud of you. For making it halfway.

I think Mom told you,

but there's just a little minor problem going on with me, so...

But it's actually really fun here and I've met some nice people.

And they remind me of you because you are my greatest friend, and...

Hurry back, please.

Speed it up.

I really hate you right now.

You don't even care about me.

Just want you to know I...

I love you.

I'm so tired, Dad.

I'm tired.

I'm try--

All right, let's go.

Let's go.

Stay with me.

We need to be quiet and move to the mountain.

Quiet.

Quiet.

And move.
