Captain Daly.
Report.
A non-federation vessel jumped straight out of white space
right in front of us.
Valdack. That can't be.
My data scan indicates a heavily armored Gorgan Dreadnought,
vessel ID number 986♥4♥321.
Thank you, Dudani.
Valdack must have hijacked it from the Fermi hub
and tracked our position.
Tulaska, shield status?
Shields 100%.
Helmsman Packer? Captain.
Prime rear thrusters. Rear thrusters primed.
If that's Valdack, he'll rip us to shreds.
Captain, we have to surrender. There's no other way.
Let's not lose our heads, Lieutenant Walton.
Shields at 68%.
Heavy damage reported, decks six through ten.
Fires in med center and major rupture to cargo bay Alpha.
We've got no choice, Captain!
Do you want me to open comms with Valdack's craft, Captain?
Negative.
Shields at 54%. There's no way out.
Captain, please. Not now, Walton.
Helmsman Packer, take us into that asteroid gas cluster.
Into the cluster? That's suicide, sir.
It is our only chance.
That gas cluster is charged with ionized pyron particles.
If our shields hold,
we can use them to increase our photon intensity.
Packer, increase thrusters.
Shields at 43%.
It'll tear the ship apart, Captain!
Walton, you are a Space Fleet officer. Act accordingly.
Shields at 32%. Valdack's not following.
Packer, turn us around.
Tulaska, charge photon bolts.
Bolts charged, Captain.
Fire!
His hull's breached, shields gone.
He's defenseless.
Lieutenant Lowry, open comms.
He's already hailing us, Captain.
On screen.
Captain Daly,
may you drown in the venom of 900 Tragorian snakes!
You are defeated, Valdack.
Return the plasmorthian crystal
and we'll cause you no more damage.
You must think me a fool, Captain!
I know the crystal's capabilities,
and I will die before I give it up!
I gave you a chance, Valdack, showed you mercy.
Reflect on that while you can.
Close comms.
Tulaska, destroy his ship. Yes, Captain.
That was incredible, Captain. You saved our lives.
I'm so sorry I lost it back there, Captain.
Not for the first time, Walton.
And I should know by now never to doubt you.
Please forgive me.
At ease, Walton.
Captain, sensors indicate an escape pod ejected
from Valdack's ship before detonation.
He's escaping with the crystal.
You want me to plot a pursuit course, Captain?
No.
We'll let him go... for now.
That's great decision-making, Captain.
Three cheers for Captain Daly.
Hip hip. Hooray!
Hip hip. Hooray!
Hip hip. Hooray!
♪For he's a jolly good fellow For he's a jolly good fellow♪
♪For he's a jolly good fellow♪
♪And so say all of us♪
God bless you, Captain. God bless you.
Thirteenth floor.
Welcome to Callister.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Elena, my pass doesn't work.
You must renew on first of each month.
Yeah, I know that, but the first was on the weekend, so...
Ok.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Prepare to enter
the most immersive gaming experience in years,
Infinity, from Callister Inc.
Morning, Mr. Daly. Helmsman Packer.
I mean, Mr. Packer. Nate.
Ok.
Are you making coffees?
Yeah.
Do you think maybe you could make me one too?
Sure, sure. what do you want?
Just vanilla latte. Skim milk.
Yeah, good call. 'Cause...
...those are very, very big numbers.
We might just have to hold you to that.
Well, no, yes, of course.
Sure. Yes.
Oh, are you OK, man?
I guess you didn't see my gym bag.
Here. Come on.
I'm sorry, bud. OK.
You left it...
You're gonna do it for me and make it good.
You know you are a god to me at least.
The ladies' bathroom is that way.
The sign's kind of confusing.
You're Robert Daly, right?
Right. Yeah, hi.
I'm Nanette, Nanette Cole.
I started here today, coding on the update,
and I just wanted to, uh, pass on my admiration
to the person who actually designed Infinity.
The procedural algorithm is amazing.
It's just some beautiful code.
Thank you.
That's actually the reason that I wanted to work here.
You must be busy. I'm so sorry. No, no, it's fine.
Sorry. No.
Well, just fangirling. Sorry.
Vintage.
Yeah, it's Space Fleet.
It's a TV show. Before your time.
Before my time, actually.
