Tom Bresnahan: Huxley Welles - Navigation

Quotes 

• Jake : [the stranger fires his weapon, freezing Huxley mid-step, and throws a can at Huxley. We see a blue flash, and hear a melting sound. The stranger again fires his weapon unfreezing Huxley] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [Jonathan, hands raised quickly steps in Huxley's peripheral vision]  Huxley, don't move!

  Jake : [Huxley stops] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Now, back up the way you came.

  Huxley Welles : [Huxley backs up, only taking his eyes off the stranger for a moment to ask]  Jonathan, what's going on?

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [camera flashes to the melting can]  There was a disentegrating field right in front of you.

  Jake : [the stranger has moved down the stairs and now approaches the men, slowly] 

  Huxley Welles : Watch it, Jonathan.

  Jake : [the stranger stops in front of Jonathan. Slowly, he reaches out and hands Jonathan the weapon]  .

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [Jonathan takes the weapon and stares into the strangers eyes]  .

  Jake : [the camera pans back to the stranger. He bears a striking resemblence to a much older and very filthy, Captain Jacob Dryden Brown]  .

• Jake , Capt Jonathan Hays , Huxley Welles : [All three men step onto the bridge] 

  Priscilla : Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert!

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Intruder cleared for entry, no further action.

  Jake : [the stranger walks towards the main viewscreen] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Priscilla, scan for ID please.

  Priscilla : [a 2-D sketch of a humanoid appears on the screen]  Captain Jacob Dryden Brown, class of 2074. Graduated third in class.

  Jake : I got a C in weightlessness training, brought down my grade point average.

  Priscilla : [Continues analysis]  Assigned as Captain of the Vanguard Explorer in the year 2080. Ship vanished in 2082. All aboard, declared dead.

  Jake : Surprise.

  Dr. Sally Arthur : Captain Brown! Did anyone else from the Vanguard Explorer survive?

  Jake : [Jake approaches Sally] 

  Dr. Sally Arthur : My brother was on your ship. Lieutenant Vance Arthur?

  Jake : Sorry.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : What happened to your ship?

  Jake : It was destroyed.

  Dr. Sally Arthur : And how did you escape?

  Jake : In a capsule.

  Huxley Welles : So much for the captain going down with his ship.

  Jake : If it's all the same to you, I'd like to speak with your commanding officer.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : I'm the commanding officer.

  Jake : How long before we get back to Earth?

  Capt Jonathan Hays : 26 years. We're on a exploratory mission to Berinsten's Star.

  Jake : Just my luck. I finally catch a ride and it's going the wrong direction.

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : It's a lot better than where you were.

• Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : [after the OTZ Assembly is destroyed, Beanie looks to Huxley] 

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : And you said the rail gun wouldn't work!

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Ha Ha Ha! That's right!

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [clicks the intercom button on his command chair console] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Come on up Jake, I think Huxley may want to apologize!

  Jake : [no response from Jake] 

  Huxley Welles : Well, it looks like some people are too well mannered to gloat!

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Heh Heh! You hear that Jake?"

  Dr. Sally Arthur : [Sally comes to sit next to Jonathan on the arm of the command chair]  .

  Jake : [still no response from Jake] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Jake? Jake! Take over, Hux!

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [Jonathan shouts his order to Huxley as he jumps out of the command chair and runs after Sally to see what happened to Jake]  .

• Capt. Forbes : [Captain Forbes is with the key crew members in the briefing room, explaining the details of the mission they are about to embark on] 

  Huxley Welles : And if telemetry indicates I'm past my peak, then Jonathan will be Captain on the return voyage.

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : All right!

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : [grins and pats Jonathan fiercely on the shoulders] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Sir, what are the weapons specifications?

  Capt. Forbes : This is a peaceful mission, Jonathan. Weapons are not a high priority.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : But the OTZ, sir.

  Capt. Forbes : The Outlaw Technology Zone controlled one half of this planet, and came very close to controlling the other half before we beat them.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : There was rumor of an OTZ outpost.

  Capt. Forbes : That outpost was discovered and destroyed by Triton Coursaire.

  Huxley Welles : Admiral Beasley's ship? Is he still out there?

  Capt. Forbes : Yes Huxley. In fact, he conceived Earth Star Voyager and personally selected each of you for this mission. We shall leave in 48 hours.

• Capt Jonathan Hays : [after Brody's death, Jonathan sits on one of the crew lounge sofas, blankly staring out, trying to figure out what to do next] 

  Jake : [Jake walks up and sits on the couch adjacent to Jonathan] 

  Jake : Oh, here you are. You alright?

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Yeah. Sure. Great. I've got two dead crewman floating out in deep space, another one in cryostasis for who knows how long, and it's sheer dumb luck we haven't lost any more.

  Jake : Dumb luck's a good thing to have sometimes.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [Jonathan, turns his back to Jake and stands, slumped against the doorway, arms crossed] 

  Jake : I mean, look at the mess you're in. You're an inexperienced captain, commanding an inexperienced crew, you're in over your're head, why don't you just quit?

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [Jonathan quickly turns back to face Jake, angry] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : I can't do that!

  Jake : There you go.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : I don't need this.

  Jake : [roughly puts his hand on Jonathan's shoulder] 

  Jake : Look, kid...

  Jake : [notices Jonathan flinch at the word "kid". He corrects himself] 

  Jake : Captain. You know you're responsible for every one on board this ship.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : I'm aware of that.

  Jake : But self pity doesn't go along with that! Sorry, but that's just not one of the Captain's luxuries.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [sarcastically]  What kind of luxuries does the captain get?

  Jake : None that I can think of.

  Huxley Welles : [Huxley walks up] 

  Huxley Welles : Jonathan, Beanie found something in the gym you need to take a look at.

  Jake : [not taking his eyes off of Jonathan] 

  Jake : Captain will be right there, Huxley.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [Jonathan stares back at Jake icily] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Captain's on his way.

• Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : [Beanie has just removed the last control chip from Priscilla's control panel and nods to Jonathan that it is done]  .

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [Jonathan turns away from Admiral Beasley's image on the viewscreen and rushes to the pilot's chair]  Huxley, can you get back navigation?

  Huxley Welles : [Huxley presses a button on his console and sees that navigation has been re-established]  Got it!

  Adm. Beasley : [a puzzled look comes across Admiral Beasley's face]  Jonathan, what have you done?

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : [Beanie pulls one more control chip out of Priscilla's control box and the viewscreen goes to static] 

  Huxley Welles : Resuming navigation!

• Huxley Welles : [Huxley is explaining the difficulties of creating a solar laser to destroy the OTZ Assembly. He presses a button on his console, which displays a 2-D image of twin suns]  See these suns, Jake? Right now they are close to paragee, the closest spot in their orbits. If we are directly in that path, the greatest amount of energy can be directed along any given point. But, you have to be in the right spot at the right time, and not fry the disks. And even then...

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : [interrupts]  I don't think... I want to hear anymore.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : No, finish Hux.

  Huxley Welles : We get one shot.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [there is a long pause from everyone on the bridge. Jonathan, looks to Jake]  Any ideas?

  Jake : Yeah, get out of their way.

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : What?

  Jake : You got all of them in front of us, something behind us, and you got one shot. What else have you got?

  Capt Jonathan Hays : I guess we don't have any other choice. Huxley, prepare to lay in a new course away from the OTZ Assembly.

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : Jonathan!

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Jake's right, Beanie. Our mission is to Berensen's Star, not to fight a battle.

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : [Beanie has left his station to stand next to Jake and Jonathan, who is at his pilot station]  So you're just gonna run from the OTZ?

  Jake : [crosses his arms, looking down]  He's doing the right thing, Beanie.

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : [slams his hand down on the top of Jonathan's pilot control panel]  NO HE'S NOT!

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Come on Beanie! Think of something else RIGHT NOW and I'll do it! Come on!

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : I don't know, but *something*! Don't just run!

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [doesn't take his eyes off of Beanie]  The coordinates, Hux.

  Huxley Welles : [enters in the new course around the OTZ Assembly]  Course plotted in.

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : [Beanie, turns angrily away to walk back to his station] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Come back here Beanie.

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : [Beanie turns back around to face Jonathan. His jaw is set in anger and frustration, and he is breathing heavily] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [calmly]  I'm sorry.

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : [sarcastically]  It's not your fault, you did what you could.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [Jonathan continues to stare at Beanie] 

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : Excuse me, Captain, I have work to do.

  [turns around again and goes back to his station. He flops down in his chair and stares blankly at his console screen, frustrated] 

• Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : [Jake, Huxley, and Jonathan stand around Beanie's terminal on the bridge. Beanie holds the device in his hands that was found in the gym. He turns it over and over trying to figure out what it is] 

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : Near as I can tell, it's a long-range transmitter.

  [He holds it up for the others to see] 

  Jake : [takes the device from Beanie to look at it more closely] 

  Jake : So, this is what our friends back there are using to track us.

  Huxley Welles : Smash that thing!

  Capt Jonathan Hays : No. Wait. They're following that thing's signal. But if it's in one place, and we're somewhere else...

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [looks to Jake] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Mr. Brown, do you think your rail gun can fire a well-aimed rock?

  Jake : [Jake cocks his head and smiles] 

  Jake : Give me ten minutes, Cap'n.

• Capt. Forbes : [Captain Forbes is giving the crew an overall tour of the main areas where they will spend most of their time while on duty] 

  Capt. Forbes : Follow me, and I'll show you to the bridge.

  Capt. Forbes : [the primary crew step onto the main bridge] 

  Capt. Forbes : Welcome home.

  Priscilla : Hello Beanie.

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : Priscilla? Priscilla, are you on this ship?

  Priscilla : Who else, Beanie?

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : Well, that's super!

  Huxley Welles : [Huxley elbows Beanie, looking to the main viewscreen] 

  Huxley Welles : That's the ship's supercomputer?

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : Oh Priscilla, this is Huxley.

  Priscilla : [in a seductive voice] 

  Priscilla : Helloo, Huxley. I have been reading your records, over and over.

  Huxley Welles : [glances to Beanie] 

  Huxley Welles : How did she get my records?

  Priscilla : Excuse me, Captain Forbes? The Triton Coursaire has pulled alongside. It is in a geo-syncronous orbit with Earth Star Voyager, and Admiral Beasley wishes to address the crew.

  Capt. Forbes : On screen.

  Priscilla : [the forward viewscreen flickers on to reveal Admiral Beasley] 

  Adm. Beasley : Crew of Earth Star Voyager. I wanted to offer you my best wishes, and my thanks, because now, Triton Coursaire can get on with a mission of her own. I chose you all for this voyage. Do me proud. I wish I was young enough to go with you. But of course, I will be with you, in spirit.

  Adm. Beasley : [He smiles]
