Good Morning, James!
How're you feeling?
Wait, what?
It's perfectly normal to feel confused.
You've just spent a 120 years in suspended animation.
What?
It's okay, James.
It's Jim.
Jim.
Just breathe.
Everything is okay.
Where am I?
You're a passenger on the Starship Avalon.
The Homestead Company's premier interstellar star liner.
We've nearly completed the voyage from Earth to your new home,
the colony world of Homestead Ⅱ.
A new world.
A fresh start.
Room to grow.
Oh, yeah.
The Avalon is on final approach.
For the next 4 months, you'll enjoy space travel
at it's most luxurious.
Food. Fun. Friends.
My friends.
That's right, Jim.
The I.D. Band on your wrist
is your key to the wonders of the Avalon.
You're in perfect health, Jim.
Let's get you to your cabin where you can get some rest.
You maybe experiencing post-hibernation sickness.
Your door will illuminate for you.
Welcome to your cabin.
Your home until we make landfall.
Over the next 4 months,
you'll prepare for your new life on Homestead Ⅱ.
Meet you fellow passengers, take skill building classes
and learn about colonial living.
You've been assigned to Learning group 38,
for passengers with engineering and technical trade skills.
Please scan your I.D. To confirm luggage delivery.
Jim, please scan your I.D. To confirm luggage delivery.
To help you recover from hibernation,
be sure to drink plenty of fluids.
Enjoy the rest of your voyage on the Avalon,
a Homestead Company Starship.
Good morning one and all.
It's a beautiful morning here on the Starship Avalon.
Whatever you do don't get homesick, get Homestead.
Let start things off with one of my favorite back on Earth.
No.
It's stupid.
Just call me... call me Jim. You got a cool jacket.
Hello, Passengers.
Will you all please take a seat.
Welcome, Learning group 38.
Your introduction to colonial life.
Earth is a prosperous planet.
The cradle of civilization.
But for many, it's also overpopulated. Over-priced. Overrated.
I'm sorry, I think I maybe in the wrong...
- Hold all questions till the end, please. - Oh, sorry.
The Colonies offer an alternative.
- A better way of life. - Where are all the other...
And there's no colony more beautiful than Homestead Ⅱ,
- the Jewel of the Occupied Worlds. - I'm sorry.
Where IS everybody?
We're all on the Starship Avalon.
But I'm the only one here.
There are 5,000 passengers and 258 crew members.
So why am I alone?
We're all in this together.
Hello?
Anybody here?
Hello?
Please buckle up and secure any loose items.
This elevator will experience a momentary lapse in gravity.
Grand Concourse.
Hello.Welcome to the Grand Concourse aboard the Avalon, can I help you?
I need to talk to a person.
A real live person, please.
What sort of person? Personal trainer? Travel planner? Therapist?
I don't know. Somebody in charge.
The Ship Steward handles passenger affairs.
It's on level 3 of the Grand Concourse.
- Thank you. - Happy to help!
Not good.
- Hello! - Who's flying the ship?
The flight crew, the Captain, the Pilot, the Chief Navigator...
I want to speak to the Captain.
The Captain rarely handles passenger queries directly.
It's an emergency, please.
The Captain is usually found on the Bridge, in the Command Ring.
Bridge access requires special authorization.
Bridge access requires special authorization.
You got to be kidding me.
Welcome to the Observatory.
What can I show you?
We're supposed to land soon,
I'm... I'm the only one awake.
I don't understand. What can I show you?
Show me Homestead Ⅱ.
Homestead Ⅱ is the 4th planet in the Bhakti system.
Right. And where are we?
We're in transit from Earth to Homestead Ⅱ.
- We will arrive in approximately 90 years. - What?
We arrive at Homestead Ⅱ in 90 years, 3 weeks and 1 day.
No. Wait. How long ago did we leave Earth?
Approximately 30 years ago.
I woke up too soon.
Hello.
How do I send a message to Earth?
Interstellar messages are sent by laser array.
This is an expensive service.
- Bite me. - Happy to help!
Planet and connection?
Earth. The HomeStead Company.
There are 30,826 contacts listed under HomeStead Company?
I'm emigrating to Homestead Ⅱ and I have an emergency.
- I have a Customer Help Line. - Sounds about right.
Begin message.
Hi. I'm Jim Preston.
I'm a passenger on the Avalon.
I uh...
I think something went wrong with my hibernation pod.
I woke up too soon.
And I mean... way too soon.
Nobody else is awake. And...
I don't know how to get back to sleep.
And the thing is, there's 90 years to go.
