And remember, cosmic loves you.
1:07
Oh, welcome back. Hey,
1:11
Jane?
1:13
Jane? Jane?
1:17
Jane? Jane?
1:22
Jane? Jane?
1:25
Jane?
1:26
Jane? Jane?
1:31
Jane? Hey, Jane. Jane?
1:35
Well, you're old. Uh,
1:38
down. You calm down. Who are you? Ow.
1:41
It's me. No, really, just future me. stopped
1:44
counting somewhere in the double digits. There was
1:46
a in the number last time I added
1:48
it all up, if that helps.
1:50
And why do I hurt? Mmm, best
1:52
I can tell, a couple broken ribs, and
1:54
it seems like you're bleeding Ugh,
1:57
that all? James...
5:55
Later,
6:01
they harnessed them, and then they
6:03
vanished. I mean,
6:05
that was millennia ago, and in the end,
6:08
my dad was only ever able to find one artifact
6:10
with any trace of Chrysalis in it.
6:12
And with that one tiny artifact, he
6:15
managed to wreak havoc until we stopped him. Okay,
6:18
so that artifact is how
6:21
he was? Shifted my own reality around
6:23
me? Yeah, probably.
6:25
Okay, so where did your father find the Chrysalis?
6:28
He put in the Odyssey's path. In
6:31
everywhere, anytime. Okay,
6:33
but I thought he needed you to bond with the Guardian
6:36
that came from the Chrysalis to get into everywhere
6:38
anytime. Yeah, he did.
6:41
And so that's the thing
6:43
about time loops. You've
6:45
said that already. Help me up.
6:47
He did it from the past.
6:50
Your dad gets the Chrysalis by coming to
6:52
everywhere anytime from the future,
6:54
snatching basically what we should be calling
6:57
a dragon egg. I mean, honestly,
6:59
and exits to the past to leave
7:01
said Dragonade in your path, tangentially.
7:04
I see. You
7:06
understand? No, not at all. You're
7:09
in a time loop, Ryan. Cause
7:11
and effect works different. Or
7:13
not at all. Or backwards. I,
7:16
you know, again, I didn't get like a degree
7:19
in temporal mechanics or anything, basically
7:21
just a crash course from you. And honestly,
7:24
the sound of your voice Just makes me
7:27
drift away. Way.
7:31
So, I'm doing
7:33
the best I can here, given how little
7:35
I pay attention. All right? To
7:38
find the source code, you said we'd
7:40
have to find-
7:41
No, no. No. No,
7:43
I'm not going to the source code. Take me to my
7:45
father. What? Why? Future
7:48
you says the only way- Is to stop my
7:50
father. The source code is too
7:52
much power for one person. But if you alter
7:55
your reality so he never steals the Chrysalis,
7:57
you'll never bond with a dragon and-
10:01
Like a hollow emitter! And
10:03
I didn't need any deposed brother or sister
10:05
to procure one for me. Ta-da!
10:09
Oh man, hey again. See
10:12
you got another body. Well that went so
10:15
well the last time we tried that.
10:17
What's up? Where are we? Where's
10:19
the source code? You've been briefed on all this? I helped you
10:21
develop this plan. Well, future, you.
10:24
Well, plans changed. Oh no. Oh
10:26
yes. So, what are we doing
10:28
now? Getting into the chrysalises
10:31
is... yeah, I'm gonna go with that.
10:33
Cavern. Mmm.
10:36
Cave. Cave urn? What's the word I should
10:38
be using for this thing? Temple? Why are
10:40
we going in there? Mmm, to kill Ryan's dad.
10:42
No. Well then, this calls
10:45
for... ooh, uh, what do you think? Aladium-powered
10:47
plasma rifles? No. Do
10:49
you have the Mark IV? Do I
10:51
have the Mark IV?
10:53
Please tell me those are holographic guns. Nope.
10:57
They are stored inside a new matter-slash-energy
10:59
converter built into the tonosphere. Pretty
11:02
cool, huh? Guess how many
11:04
organic lifeforms they can kill on a single
11:06
battery charge.
11:07
I don't like the way you say organic
11:09
lifeforms. You're all so
11:11
delicate. Alright,
11:17
let's go bag us an admiral. Oh, that's
11:20
another sentence I never thought I'd hear again. And
11:22
that's not even a time loop joke. I
11:24
really had to bag an admiral once. Oh, it's
11:26
a funny story really.
11:28
Jane, write a book. You, hollow
11:30
girl, no killing. You
11:32
sound just like future Ryan. My plan
11:35
is to stop him, not kill him. Fine.
11:37
But we still can't just waltz
11:39
in there without any cover. Oh, uh,
11:41
how about this? A
11:43
multi-phasic stun grenade.
11:46
Designed it myself. Stun grenade.
11:51
Okay. am! Yes! Let's
11:54
get closer quietly.
15:59
Yeah, I know that's why I'm
16:02
gonna send you to the source not that
16:04
source the source of the chrysalis size
16:07
this is good you think one
16:09
of us would have looked up how to say that so just
16:12
Don't go getting any ideas
16:18
You're gonna open a gateway Yeah,
16:21
yeah, I am I'm sending
16:24
you to everywhere anytime Congrats,
16:26
Dad. That's what you've always wanted.
16:30
I
16:32
sent you here to steal the chrysalis? Yeah.
16:35
And then I was supposed to drop it off so Odyssey will
16:37
run into it. Oh, and this
16:39
part was a late-breaking instruction. I'm supposed
16:41
to save your asses at an auction
16:43
in the void. Now, how am I to
16:45
do that? Oh, lying to us worked
16:47
out really well. Mm, she's not wrong.
16:50
All right. Why didn't
16:52
I just come to do all this myself? Why send
16:54
you? Ooh ooh ooh, I know this one. Uh, something
16:57
paradox this, paradox that. Ryan,
17:00
you're just a little chatterbox, and if I let
17:02
you, you'll just talk and talk and talk and talk
17:05
and talk. Alright, you're saying
17:07
I am the one who did all this? Why? Because this
17:09
starts the time loop, Ryan. You
17:11
put yourself in it so you had a chance to save EOS X. Um,
17:13
uh, buh buh
17:13
buh. Save EOS
17:16
X. Oh. Oh,
17:20
okay, so you didn't tell him about that. Hey,
17:22
it's not my fault. I was gonna get to
17:24
that. I had a whole speech planned on the way to
17:26
the source code and he was all like, no,
17:28
stop the Admiral blah blah blah. It's
17:31
a long story. I had a lot to cover and
17:33
I was interrupted. What
17:34
happened to the station? It
17:38
was destroyed, Ryan. Before
17:41
we ever even got out of the void, all hands
17:43
lost.
17:45
One arm. He realized the pieces
17:48
of the Guardian's chrysalis were still on the station,
17:50
and after he destroyed the silent storm,
17:53
he went back for them.
17:54
took them completely by surprise,
17:57
formed a raiding party, and when Captain
17:59
Leota realized
39:02
the
40:00
statue in my honor yet. Ooh, I had
40:02
the one offer from the Xanadu people
40:04
on Nettle 2, but they were like, yeah,
40:06
it's gonna be brass. Can you believe
40:09
that? I mean, honestly, I was like, thank
40:11
you, but no, thank you, such a way. Jane.
40:14
I am going.
40:45
I'm going to be here.
40:51
Approaching the coordinates. There's
40:54
absolutely nothing here. Trust me
40:56
on this. Don't I always? All these
40:58
years you've just been telling me this is coming? I
41:01
just... Never thought it would. Detecting
41:05
a massive surge in techeon radiation. Dead
41:08
ahead. There's my boy.
41:16
Hey, tell him not to nudge the ship. I just had
41:18
Xander detail it. It's okay. He's excited
41:20
too. He's good. He's not gonna kill
41:22
us. Certainly not me.
41:25
Ugh! Still loud. We
41:28
need your help, my friend. We need you to take us back to
41:30
everywhere anytime. What's
41:32
that mean? Does that mean yes? I...
41:35
I... Should we hold on to something?
41:38
Oh shit! Another radiation
41:41
surge? Oh shit! We're
41:44
caught in the portal's gravity while we are going
41:47
in! Firing rear thrusters, attempting
41:50
to level our descent. Nope,
41:52
nope, that is not gonna work!
41:54
Brace, brace, brace!
47:58
Very, very
48:00
lame trick. You think I'm
48:02
stupid?
48:03
I've lost an arm, not a brain. It's no
48:06
trick. It's all yours. You just leave
48:08
the station in one piece. Agreed.
48:13
Sosa, have the shell loaded
48:15
into a torpedo casing and placed in Torpedo Launcher 16.
48:18
What are you doing? Wait, you didn't think we were gonna just let
48:20
you board the station, did you? We're
48:22
sending the chrysalis, as promised. What
48:25
say you, Captain?
48:25
I say do as the man says, Sosa.
48:28
Already on it, Captain. Dalius? Loaded.
48:31
I think the honors should be yours, Commander.
48:32
Fire.
48:34
DALIUS!
48:41
Target is destroyed. A
48:44
subspace rift has form in the debris field.
48:47
It's growing rapidly.
48:52
The station is caught in its gravity well.
48:55
We're being pulled in. I'm
49:00
detecting a surge in tachyon radiation between
49:02
us and the rift. There he
49:04
is. Some kind of portal has opened.
49:07
It's massive. My
49:10
sensors are overloading. I
49:13
think I'm detecting a life form.
49:16
It's the xenomorph. The
49:19
rift is falling inside the portal. And
49:23
they're gone. The portal's
49:26
closed.
49:34
Geez!
49:37
Damn it, Ryan! Get it off the windows!
49:41
Hey! Down boy! Down!
49:44
We'll have to work on that trick. He doesn't seem to know that one yet. Get
49:47
that dragon off my windows, Ryan! Ryan?
49:49
Yes ma'am. Uh, Downboy! Down!
49:53
I mean, you know what he's like.
53:54
the
54:00
Pula of Doom? Oh,
54:02
how about the dinner party from the
54:04
Jane and Levi mystery series? That's my favorite
54:07
one. Tell me the
54:10
fantastic voyage.
54:12
Fantastic voyage? I've told you
54:15
all about the fantastic voyage a thousand
54:17
and three times. That's okay.
54:19
It's always different every time you
54:21
tell it.
54:22
It always ends the same, doesn't it?
54:25
Not the time with the dragon. Hm,
54:28
come on, under the covers. Lay
54:32
down your sweet head and I'll tell you a tale.
54:34
There once was a ship in the bloodstream
54:37
that sailed. Prepared me
54:39
to die when a virus
54:40
attacked. I'm not gonna lie,
54:42
I thought it was wax.
54:45
Scoop-a-doop-a-doop-a-doop-a-doop-a-dick. Opening
54:48
number. Mama?
54:49
Yeah?
54:51
I think the dramatic structure is better
54:53
served starting a few beats earlier in
54:56
the infirmary. Also, you
54:58
were a little flat. How dare you! The
55:00
infirmary's my favorite part! Ugh,
55:04
everyone's a critic. Don't confuse
55:06
personal taste with artistry. Wow,
55:08
you've been hanging around your Uncle Xander too
55:11
much. What was it like on the space
55:13
station?
55:16
Ugh, it was...fantastic.
55:21
Start there.
55:53
Thank you. ES-10
