Mommy!
3:24:10
Captain,
good fortune smiles on us.
3:24:14
Yeah, it's like nothing
we ever dreamed of, Captain.
3:24:16
They've got everything we need here,
plenty, and they're happy to share.
3:24:20
- Sounds like paradise.
- Yeah, it does.
3:24:24
Colonel, a message
from Sire Uri.
3:24:28
''The Ovion people have extended
to the survivors ofthe colonies...
3:24:31
every measure ofgoodness
and support we might have hoped for.''
3:24:34
''Itisnowpossible to foresee
the fleetable toresume our voyage...
3:24:39
within a centon.''
3:24:45
Well, Colonel...
3:24:47
a most optimistic note.
3:24:49
Too optimistic.
Uri has everyone in the fleet...
3:24:52
breaking in the bulkheads
to get down to the surface.
3:24:55
Well, perhaps in small numbers,
in orderly rotation.
3:24:57
It isn't going to be that way. Already
he's authorized visitors' permits...
