s02e09 - The Crossing
script
detail
The team tackles a risky mission on a
hostile world.
( ship approaching )
According to Cid's coordinates, this is the
mine she purchased.
And we're supposed to do what?
Excavate the site for ipsium. It is
tremendously valuable when refined.
However, in its raw state, the mineral is
highly combustible, like a primed thermal
detonator.
Wrecker: Sounds dangerous.
( laughs ) I like it.
( door beeping )
( beeping stops )
( thunder rumbling )
Tech: Problem?
The storm's moving away from us. We
should be fine.
Tech, we'll mine the ipsium.
Wrecker, Omega, you're on lookout.
Both of us?
Without Echo, we are a man down.
We need Wrecker to assist with operations
inside the mine.
You three go. I'll be the lookout.
Not alone. Cid warned us about poachers in
the area.
Keep your eyes peeled and comm us if you
see anyone.
( scanner beeping )
My scans are not indicating a sizable
presence of ipsium.
Looks like Cid was deceived into purchasing
an already depleted mine.
Keep scanning. We'll extract whatever we
can.
Wait. I am getting a faint reading.
There.
The ipsium is going to be difficult to reach.
We'll need to carve out a bigger opening in
the rock to get to it.
The mineral is far too unstable.
Even the slightest friction around it can
cause a destructive chain reaction.
Then what do you suggest?
( stone clatters )
Hey. What's with you?
I was thinking about Echo.
It's weird without him around.
Yeah. But you'll get used to it.
( comlink beeps )
Tech on comlink: Omega, we require your
assistance.
On my way.
( sighs )
( grunting )
Now what?
Drill into the fossilized quartz until you
reach the active ipsium inside.
But you must be precise.
If the mineral becomes compromised during
the retrieval...
Chain reaction, explosion. Got it.
( slowly ) Be very careful.
( slowly ) I know.
Good. Again.
( thunder rumbling )
That storm's changing course.
The weather patterns on this planet are
most irregular.
We have what we came for. Let's get back
to Ord Mantell.
( ship powering up )
What is it, Hunter?
( gasps ) That sounds like our ship.
Stop!
You were supposed to be on lookout.
There was no one there!
Tech: Clearly that was not the case.
There has to be a way to get it back, right?
Tell me, Wrecker, how exactly did you miss
our ship being compromised?
Maybe if you hadn't docked it out of view, I
would have seen someone approaching.
AM I GAY?

Well, there was no other suitable landing
zone, Wrecker.

( sighs ) We can't stay here. Where's the
nearest town?
During our approach, I scanned a spaceport
approximately 40 klicks south of here.
Perhaps we can acquire transport there.
Wrecker: You know how long that would
take?
Since we do not have access to long-range
communications without our ship, it is our
only option.
Let's move.
Whoo.
How much further?
You will not like the answer.
Havoc-4, this is Havoc-5. Do you copy?
Echo? Are you there?
He's too long-range. Echo won't pick up our
signal.
Especially since he disabled his
communication device.
What? Why?
I assume he's on a sensitive mission.
( ground rumbling )
What's that?
Run!
( creature bellows )
Hunter: There.
( creature snorts )
Wrecker!
( grunts )
You must protect the ipsium case.
Well, what about protecting me?
If it explodes, we'll all be dead.
( breathing heavily )
( grunts )
( creatures bellow )
( groans )
My back!
I would advise not dropping it next time.
Why don't you carry it?
Fine.
( thunder rumbling )
( thunderclap )
Well, that would certainly explain the
stampede.
Ow!
( grunts ) Hey!
We need to find shelter!
There is another mine. Thirty meters ahead.
I see it!
( thunder rumbling )
( grunts )
Tech: The case!
Forget it!
( wind blowing )
Omega: Where's the ipsium?
Hunter: Get down!
So, now we are trapped.
And we have lost all of our ipsium.
Well, I... I suppose that's my fault too?
Well, technically, yes.
If you had not let our ship get stolen, we
would be aboard it right now with the
mineral.
( sighs ) None of this is helping.
Let's start digging our way outta here.
Fine.
( boulder crashes )
( comlink beeps )
Something's not right.
The Marauder's transponder isn't relaying a
signal.
It was probably disabled by the thief who
commandeered it.
( growls )
Well, then how are we gonna track it?
The ship's not important right now. We
need to get outta here first.
Quite correct.
Besides, it is most unlikely that the
Marauder will be recovered.
What? Don't say that.
We have to get it back!
We can always acquire another ship.
It is merely a mode of transportation.
The Marauder's our home.
We already lost Echo.
We can't lose that too.
Omega, we didn't lose Echo.
He's just on a different mission.
But he's not here.
He's... He's not with us.
We're supposed to be a squad.
This squad existed before Echo was a part
of it, and it will exist after.
What is your issue?
Omega...
I want to be alone.
I merely stated the truth.
She already knows the truth.
That's why she's upset.
( sniffling )
( lamp clicks )
( rattles, beeps )
( drilling )
( rocks rattle )
( grunts )
( groans ) It'll take days to clear a path at
this rate.
Complaining won't make it go faster.
This operation could use a well-placed
detonation.
A small amount of ipsium would be more
than enough.
Well, we had a small amount, but somebody
dropped it.
Fine.
Since losing the mineral was my mistake, I'll
search for any potential extractions within
this mine.
That's not the only mistake you need to fix.
Yeah, go check on the kid.
But she said she wanted to be alone.
Look, she's clearly having a hard time
adjusting to Echo leaving.
Talk to her.
( neck cracks )
Very well.
( scanner beeping )
Tech: Omega?
Omega?
I'm busy.
I can see that.
Are you aware that you are surrounded by
enough ipsium that, if not handled correctly,
could take down this entire cavern?
Then you better not distract me.
Thought we could use this to blow our way
through the cave-in.
I came to a similar conclusion myself.
Little help?
This vein appears to be much more pure
than what we found in Cid's mine.
Perhaps you should extract as much ipsium
as you can.
You trust me to do that?
I am fully aware you are capable of the task.
Grab the empty vials from my satchel.
How many are left?
This is the last one.
( grunts )
( rocks tumble )
( grunting )
( gasps )
Tech!
Hang on!
( shouts )
( screams )
Tech: Omega!
( panting )
( shouts )
( both grunting )
( groans )
What is it, Hunter?
Tech, come in.
Omega, do you copy?
Something's wrong.
( gasps )
( coughs )
( coughing, panting )
( both coughing )
Hunter on comlink: Tech, Omega, do you
copy?
( exhales ) Affirmative.
We took an unforeseen detour, but we are
alive.
Where are you?
That is a good question. Stand by.
Tech. Look.
There is a passageway just beyond this
wall.
We can use the ipsium you mined to access
it.
Hunter, we found an alternate way out, but
you will need to retrieve our gear.
Wrecker: Found it.
All right, Tech.
We've got the gear and the ipsium.
Tech on comlink: Good. Next you'll need to
carefully scale down the narrow crevasse
and descend into the aqueduct below.
You will come upon us once the rapids eject
you over the waterfall.
But you must not compromise the mineral
vials or you will perish.
You got to be kidding me!
Hang tight. We're on our way.
( groans ) I hate this planet!
We will be out of this cavern in short order
once they arrive with the mineral.
Except we still don't have the Marauder or a
way off this planet, and we can't contact
Echo for help.
We do not need help.
We will figure out a solution, as we always
do.
Everything is changing, and you don't even
care.
I am not sure how I should care about
change.
It is a fundamental part of life.
Echo left. Why doesn't that bother you?
I am aware that you miss him, but we have
to adapt and move on.
That is what soldiers do.
We're more than that.
We're a family.
Aren't we?
Well, uh, yes.
Yes, of course we are.
Then why don't you act like it?
( sighs ) Echo chose a different path, as did
Crosshair.
I have to respect their decision.
Even though it can be difficult to
understand, we must carry on.
I may process moments and thoughts
differently, but it does not mean that I feel
any less than you.
( Wrecker screaming )
( coughing )
See? That wasn't so bad.
( grunts )
( groans )
How come he gets to blow it up?
If the shot is not precise, it will cause
another cave-in.
