RICHARD: Com room
reports a faint message...
1:27:02
in clear from Lieutenant Blair.
1:27:04
He's broadcasting
the Kilrathi jump coordinates.
1:27:06
TOLWYN: Blair.
1:27:08
RICHARD: Should we respond, sir?
1:27:09
RADAR MAN:
Identifying Confed rapier...
1:27:11
heading towards Earth
at LSM point nine.
1:27:12
He's being followed by
something massive, Admiral.
1:27:14
Looks like a Snakeir.
1:27:15
RICHARD:
Permission to intercept it?
1:27:17
TOLWYN: No, we wait.
1:27:18
The Snakeir
will overtake Blair's fighter.
1:27:22
Sir, if we don't intercept...
1:27:24
the Snakeir will reach
Earth orbit before us.
1:27:26
The casualties
could be significant.
1:27:28
I'm bloody well aware
of that, Richard!
1:27:30
All ships are to target
those jump coordinates.
1:27:43
Blair to Confed fleet,
a Kilrathi capital ship...
1:27:45
has penetrated
the quasar's jump point...
1:27:47
and is in Earth space. Copy?
1:27:53
They aren't in radio range.
1:27:56
Earth will never see 'em coming.
1:27:58
MERLIN: I'm detecting...
1:27:59
a Confederation signal,
Lieutenant.
1:28:05
[Beep beep beep beep]
1:28:07
Confederation transponder...
1:28:09
identified as beacon
one-four-seven.
1:28:11
Oh, shit--Scylla.
1:28:23
MERLIN: Mass of Snakeir--
1:28:24
two hundred thousand,
four hundred sixty-one tons
1:28:38
OBUTU: Sir, we've hove to
for damage inspection.
1:28:42
TAGGART: And the locator beacon
from the rapier pod?
1:28:45
Nothing, sir.
Lost contact during the battle.
1:28:52
Have the Diligent
prepared for launch.
1:28:54
If I'm not back
in two hours...
1:28:56
make the jump to Earth.
I'll join you later.
1:28:59
Aye, aye, sir.
