The Ark has encountered another ship, but more mysteries emerge with a survivor! Last ep of The Ark, Brice is unconscious as Lane checks in. He wakes up saying she loves him and gets a slap. Brice thanks Eva for covering for him. He admits he has a terminal disease without a cure. He has “clusters” of passing out which was last one year before launch. A tense, dramatic moment away from the romance. Garnet revives with gel covering her burns. She asks about Dr. Kabir and coughs. Garnet sets herself up and Dr. Kabir admits she took amphetimines. Garnet thanks Strickland for helping Dr. Kabir. She is wheeled in by Strickland, wrapped up medical bandages. Lane and Alicia update her. Eva has scanned the planet and has not found the alien substance or the plutonium. Lane says it should be called alicianium! Lane asks Brice to check out the other side of the planet. What they see stuns them, The Ark-3! I don’t think this is some time travel. If a ship traveled at near-light speed, then time wouldn’t seem to pass for the ship, but it would to others. Ark-3 could travel at near-light speed and pass Ark-1 without even noticing. The Ark-1 approaches Ark-3, Sharon sends a call, but no response. Lt. James Brice’s shuttle is to the side.

Brice starts his approach to the ship. It’s command module is scarred with green liquid, the aliciainium. At the pilot center, Lt. Garnet wants Alicia Nevins to monitor them and this includes Garnet to stay in her medical condition. Lt. Spencer Lane thanks Garnet. Brice walks with Eva who wants to know why he volunteered for a dangerous mission. Cat walks onto the bridge. She admits that her best friend was on Ark-3. Garnet sends her to observation. She walks out to see Angus Medford who has an aloe plant. Cat tells him to get over his crush. Lane leads Lane and the others in his compression suit. He says it is a search and rescue mission. Lane looks down to see the bodies of the Ark-3 crew members! They find that they all died from suffocation. Eva explains it was a hull breach. She takes off her helmet. The others follow. Strickland has Jelena Griff protect the compression gear. Garnet orders them to the sleeping pod bays. It is exactly the Ark, but filled with bodies. Lane reaches the bridge and starts activating it. Eva says the deaths reminds her of the mass graves after the continental fires! She has reached sleeper pod 1 which had crew quarters. Lane reports that he cannot enter his command codes.
A crew member, Sasha Novak (Milos Cvetkovic) enters captain’s quarters and finds a half-drunk bottle of bourbon. He opens a closet and the captain’s body falls out. Then, the door closes! Chills. He is the survivor, not a simple Red Shirt, so worth saving as an engineer. There is a biohazard alert! Eva cuts through the door’s control and Sasha falls out. Lane performs CPR and saves Sasha. Strickland turns over the body of his husband, Robert Strickland! This is a nightmare! Lane heads to the first mate’s quarters and found a man with a knife in his chest, he starts to run as the doors close. There is a person with a helmet and medical gown! Lane runs after the person and pulls off the helmet, a woman, Kelly (Samantha Glassner)! He holds her broken arm. She says there are seven dangerous people in medbay. Lane reports it to Brice, but they are all dead by pills. Kelly says twelve of them were in maintenance suits. They start to run after the other survivor, Ross. Strickland confronts Kelly. Lane has found Ross on the floor. They drag him to Ark-1’s medbay. Dr. Kabir sees internal bleeding from his stomach. She has Strickland reset Kelly’s arm. They monitor Dr. Kabir, only she can save Ross, she cuts using a medical laser. He starts to crash and Kelly breaks into the operating room, the last survivor.

Strickland asks her about Robert and she says met him in the mess hall and the Ark-3 was re-directed to Proxima B. He says his daughter would be 8. Strickland walks away. Dr. Kabir runs out to comfort Strickland and he says Robert would leave without her. He has lost everything. William Trust was in another section. Could his daughter be a stowaway? This pain after pain after pain, yes, it is sci fi, fictional, but I hope something hopeful happens to Strickland. At the conference room, everyone argues until silenced by Garnet. She says she was an engineering trainee. Nevins says a warp bubble had them move faster than light speed. Ark-3 would only take nine months. Kelly says Ark-2 was destroyed in light speed! Garnet orders a break. Garnet limps over to see Cat, she healed fast, and then gave a list of crew members to Cat. Kelly is surrounded by crew members with questions. Cat breaks up the mob. Garnet calls for quiet. Kelly agrees to tell everyone, she says New Africa, Australia, and the Americas were destroyed. The tides took out much of the rest of the world. She says the world government collapsed and Kelly adds GSA was still operating with twelve Arks ready to go. They could be the last of humanity! So much is going on, but the original intent was fuel, I hope they got it, parts, and technology to upgrade the engines.
At the bridge, Kelly has a new look courtesy of Cat, Lane admires her. She mentions there is medicine in the medbay, they take Nevins. Garnet has Strickland go to the Ark to find milistary supplies. Kelly volunteers to return to her Ark. The plutonium is loaded into cases. Jelena Griff (Tamara Radovanovic) finds in a crew quarter, a katana, she sees Strickland and drops a bag with the sword important to Robert. A crew member brings Dr. Kabir, medical supplies including ampethemines. Kelly says a door was blocked, but Strickland enters his security codes and unloads a locker of rifles and pistols. Kelly is tearful and says that his daughter was with Robert at a food market that turned inot a riot. She says she died from a bullet. He puts the weapons into a chamber and sends the weapons into space! Strickland leaves and Kelly has a pistol tucked in behind her! I don’t know if I can trust her and that maybe Strickland’s daughter somehow lives! Can't trust Kelly's word about the fate of anything, why doesn't the ship have multiple records of happened to the Earth? The geniuses work on restoring the security camera footage. Angus flatters Nevins, I heart Medins. The appearance of The Ark-3 has put more mysteries, a new character, that may up the danger to our Ark-1!
Five Compression Suits out of Five!
