Granted, they've only been on the ground for seven minutes, but as of now, we believe the fatalities are due to the landing, not radiation levels.īoth boys died at the same time that we lost contact with the drop ship. Jackson, please share our theory with Councilor Kane. Thanks to Abby's wristbands, at least we know how those conditions affect the human body, which is more than we've had for a hundred years. We know they've landed, but communications are down, which means we're still blind to conditions on the ground. They dropped us on the wrong damn mountain. There's a radiation-soaked forest between us and our next meal. You don't like being called Princess, do you, Princess? Try telling that to the two guys who tried to follow you out of their seats. Why so serious, Princess? It's not like we died in a fiery explosion. ♪ Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh. ♪ Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive ♪ ♪ Welcome to the new age, to the new age ♪ ♪ I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus ♪ Like being the first person on the ground in a hundred years. Let's give them something else to remember you by. That's Octavia Blake, the girl they found hidden in the floor. Ha ha!ĭo you mind? I haven't seen my brother in a year. What the hell are you wearing, a guard's uniform? If the air is toxic, we're all dead, anyway. Please, I can't die knowing that you hate me. Everything on this ship is a hundred years old, right? Just give it a second.Ĭlarke, there's something I have to tell you. Everything that we programmed in to help them is gone. Other than the telemetry from their wristbands, we got nothing… No audio, no video, no computer link. All we know for sure is that they were off course when we lost contact, so… Total system failure, that's what we're looking at. You're the idiot who wasted a month of oxygen on an illegal spacewalk. Hey, you're the traitor who's been in solitary for a year. You must locate those supplies immediately. Hey, you two, stay put if you want to live. You should strap in before the parachutes deploy. It was to be stocked with enough non-perishables to sustain three hundred people for up to two years.Ĭheck it out. Before the last war, Mount Weather was a military base built within a mountain. I saw a ship launch not more than twenty minutes ago.Īre they going to Earth? Has something changed?įolks, as I said, at this time, we cannot confirm or deny anything. Scene 3 - The Ark: Government and Science Station Those crimes will be forgiven, your records wiped clean. Frankly, we're sending you because your crimes have made you expendable. If the odds of survival were better, we would've sent others. We have no idea what is waiting for you down there. You've been given a second chance, and as your Chancellor, it is my hope that you see this as not just a chance for you, but a chance for all of us, indeed for mankind itself. When I found out they were sending prisoners to the ground, I got myself arrested. Oh! ( as Clarke gets shot with a needle and faints into Abby's arms) Your instincts will tell you to take care of everybody else first, just like your father. You're being sent to the ground, all one hundred of you. They're killing us all, aren't they, reducing population to make more time for the rest of you?Ĭlarke, you are not being executed. On The Ark, every crime, no matter how small, is punishable by death unless you're under eighteen. Four more space-locked generations, and man can go home, back to the ground. We're told the Earth needs another hundred years to become survivable again. There is now only the Ark, one station forged from the many. Twelve nations had operational space stations at the time of the bombs. It's been ninety-seven years since a nuclear apocalypse killed everyone on Earth, leaving the planet simmering in radiation. In this moment, I'm not stranded in space. I see trees all around me, the scent of wildflowers on a breeze.
