Brian McNamara: Jonathan Hays - Command Specialist

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 Jonathan Hays : [Jonathan runs into the airlock and sees Jake unconscious on the floor. Sally is holding Jake's head in her arms trying to bring him around by slapping his face] 

  Dr. Sally Arthur : Jake, can you hear me? Wake up!

  Dr. Sally Arthur : [Sally slaps Jake's face again, and looks to Jonathan] 

  Dr. Sally Arthur : I'm afraid he's gonna slip into a coma. Come On Jake!

  Dr. Sally Arthur : [Sally slaps Jake's face again] 

  Dr. Sally Arthur : Come on!

  Jake : [Jake's eyes don't open, but we see Sally was successful in bringing Jake around as he responds] 

  Jake : Quit hittin' me.

  Dr. Sally Arthur : Do you know your name? Tell me your name, please?

  Jake : The name's Jake Brown, ma'am.

  Jake : [Jake has not opened his eyes yet, and now squints one eye open to look up at Sally] 

  Jake : You owe me a dinner.

  Dr. Sally Arthur : Ah.

  Dr. Sally Arthur : [Sally sighs in relief, and bends down to lovingly nuzzle Jake's face] 

• Luz Sansone : [Luz is analyzing her readouts on her screen and gets the confirmation of the mysterious follower that has been trailing Earth Star Voyager. She looks up to Jonathan in shock] 

  Luz Sansone : Jonathan, the blip. It's the Triton Coursaire, it's been the Triton Coursaire, all along!

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Admiral, you've been following us?

  Adm. Beasley : And despite my best efforts, you lost me. You're very good. I chose you to be the best, but you're even better than I hoped.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Um, thank you.

• Capt Jonathan Hays : Then you've known all along, about Captain Forbes, and Lani Miyori.

  Adm. Beasley : And regretted it, Jonathan. When serving the greater good, sacrifices are unfortunate, but they are inevitable and they must always, always be made. I tried to explain this to Captain Forbes. He never understood. But you do.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Admiral, I do NOT understand.

  Adm. Beasley : Remember the mission Jonathan. To ensure the survival of the species. To ensure the survival of those fools back on Earth? No! We go on, to Demeter. We establish ourselves in the highest manner possible. It is our obligation.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : And where does the OTZ fit into all of this?

  Adm. Beasley : A small workforce will be needed to ensure the overall success of the project. We use the tools that come to hand. You've learned that as Captain, haven't you?

  Capt Jonathan Hays : And now you want Earth Star Voyager to join those ships.

  Adm. Beasley : Voyager has the tools, the resources, the Baumann drive, yes I need those to get to Demeter. But most importantly, I need you. All of you.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : No.

  Adm. Beasley : You refuse? Perhaps I should address the rest of your crew. You think they will ALL refuse?

  Jake : Why Admiral Beasley, you sound like you're planning a mutiny.

  Adm. Beasley : Hm Hm Hm. Jake Brown. Forever turning up where you're not wanted."

  Jake : It's a TALENT I have.

  Adm. Beasley : [looks back to Jonathan] 

  Adm. Beasley : Permission to address your entire crew.

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : [whispering, in a low voice] 

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : Jonathan, get his attention.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [pauses, then looks back to the screen] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Permission granted.

• Luz Sansone : Captain, incoming transmission!

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [a puzzled look comes over Jonathan's face] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : From who?

  Luz Sansone : Unknown.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : On screen.

  Luz Sansone : [Luz presses a button on her console, and the forward screeen flickers to life to reveal Admiral Beasley] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Admiral Beasley?

  Adm. Beasley : Hello, Jonathan.

• 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.

• Jake : [Jake enters the bridge after getting cleaned up in the infirmary] 

  Priscilla : Unauthorized personnel on bridge!

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

  Jake : [steps in front of the main viewer] 

  Jake : So, what would *further action* have been?

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : Security measures would have been instantaneously deployed.

  Jake : That's very clever... whatever it is.

  Jake : [looks at the display screen] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Uh, Priscilla.

  Jake : Stupid name for a computer.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Well, Dr. Baumann named it after his daughter...

  Jake : Baumann?

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Ah, right. You wouldn't have known. Dr. Joseph Baumann, he invented this...

  Jake : Joesph Baumann? Chubby little guy who talks to himself?

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : That's how he works things out, by talking to himself!

  Jake : You mean, they guy who was always talking about running elastic through the universe was right?

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : Elastic is only the layman's term. Technically, it...

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Careful.

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : What, it's not classified.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : No, but it took you three hours the last time you tried to explain it.

  Jake : You mean, you understand all this?

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : Of course. I helped develop it.

  Jake : Now, why didn't I figure that part out.

  Priscilla : Captain Brown is notorious for misjudging people.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Ah, you two, know each other?

• Jake : [Jake has just been asked how he knows Priscilla, he looks down and rubs his head] 

  Jake : Well, we, uh, we used to go out...

  Priscilla : We would have, if you'd ever shown up.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : So you do know her!

  Jake : Oh boy. Uh...

  Jake : [looks to Beanie] 

  Jake : She's not *really* in there, is she?

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : No. It's an analog of Priscilla Baumann's brain. All her thoughts, feelings, memories, but the real Priscilla Baumann is back on Earth.

  Jake : Ah.

  Jake : [Jake nods in relief] 

  Priscilla : Am I?

  Jake : [Jake looks to the viewscreen with a puzzled look, not sure if he totally believes it's just an AI]  .

• Capt Jonathan Hays : [Jonathan walks towards the airlock where Jake's rail gun is located. He sees a hulky figure who has his back to the airlock door, using a cutting tool to cut some wires on top of the rail gun. As Jonathan steps into the airlock and approaches, the figure stops his sabotage and slowly turns partially around. It's Brody, the personal trainer for the ship] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Why? Why Brody?

  Brody : You weren't in the plan, Captain. Just Forbes, and Loni.

  Brody : [Jonathan tries to make a run for the airlock door, but Brody slams his head into the bulkhead and throws him back into the room and seals the door with both of them inside] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [Jonathan gets up and stands behind the rail gun, putting it between him and Brody] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Plan? Come on Brody, you're not smart enough to think of a plan all by yourself!

  Brody : Don't be too sure of that.

  Brody , Capt Jonathan Hays : [Jonathan throws and lands a couple of good punches to Brody, but the punching match is unevenly matched given Brody's muscular size. Jonathan begins to slowly circle the rail gun, trying to make it for the airlock door]  .

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Come on! Come on Brody!

  Brody : [Brody begins to countercircle the rail gun, hoping to get the drop on Jonathan] 

  Brody , Capt Jonathan Hays : [Jonathan makes a mad dash to airlock panel, but is not fast enough. Brody grabs him by the collar, slams him back and forth against the airlock door facing, temporarily stunning Jonathan, and throws him face first to the airlock floor] 

  Brody , Capt Jonathan Hays : [Brody opens the airlock and steps out into the hallway, then changes his mind and decides to egress Jonathan out into space. Jonathan, realizing his intention, quickly rushes Brody and takes out his legs as the airlock door slams shut and the outer door to space opens up, sucking out Brody] 

  Brody : No!

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [From the inner airlock door window, Jonathan watches Brody's fate. He stares out with disgust and regret... another crew member lost to the vastness of space] 

• 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.

• Capt Jonathan Hays : [Jonathan has read the readout by Priscilla and Beanie describing the Airlock 3 egress malfunction that killed Captain Forbes. He stands in front of the maintenance team] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Thank you, you're repairs have been confirmed.

  [the maintenance team doesn't move] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : . You were not responsible, you may go.

  [the maintenance team leaves the bridge] 

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : [Beanie is at his console, re-checking the readout on the malfunction] 

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : I've got it!

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [Jonathan moves over to Beanie's station to look over his shoulder] 

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : [Beanie points to his screen]  It's right here! They hid it in one of the other programs. But, it's a airlock door command. That's not my entry code. Jonathan, this was no accident. Someone did it on purpose.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [camera pans to Jonathan staring blankly at the viewscreen] 

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : Who would want to kill Captain Forbes?

  Lani Miyori : What do we do now?

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [still staring at the viewscreen] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : I don't know.

  Dr. Sally Arthur : It's your decision... Captain.

• Capt. Forbes : [Captain Forbes has gone into Airlock 3 to inspect the repairs the maintenance team performed. He moves a few circuit boards on an open panel, then walks to the inner airlock door, which closes on him] 

  Capt. Forbes : Ah, come on!

  Computer Voice : Egress in three minutes.

  Capt. Forbes : [Forbes looks out the window of the inner airlock door. The spacesuits are hanging on the wall on the other side of the door] 

  Capt. Forbes : Bridge. Forbes to Bridge. Jonathan? Jonathan, can you hear me?

  Capt Jonathan Hays , Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : [Jonathan sits at his co-pilot station. Beanie walks up to stand next to him] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Beanie, I can't get a reading from number 3 airlock.

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : But, they've completed repairs, they just reported in.

  [Beanie types a query command on Jonathan's terminal, which still doesn't show a fix] 

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : .

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Nice repair job.

  [He stands and walks towards the bridge airlock door, then looks over his shoulder to Beanie] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : . Beanie, I'm gonna want to talk to the maintenance team that worked on that airlock.

  Jessie 'Beanie' Bienstock : [Beanie sits down at the co-pilot terminal trying to figure out what went wrong] 

  Capt. Forbes : [Captain Forbes continues to try to reach the bridge from inside the locked airlock] 

  Capt. Forbes : Bridge. Forbes to Bridge. Captain Forbes calling the Bridge!

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [Jonathan walks up to the inner airlock door, which doesn't open. He presses a button on the console next to the airlock door, which doesn't respond, and starts to turn away] 

  Capt. Forbes : [Captain Forbes face appears in the inner airlock door window]  Jonathan!

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [a shocked and scared look comes over Jonathan's face. He presses the intercom button on the inner airlock control panel]  Airlock 3! Airlock 3! All Station alert! Airlock 3!

  Computer Voice : Egress in 30 seconds.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : What happened?

  Capt. Forbes : [his voice is somewhat drowned out due to the thickness of the airlock door, but can be heard]  I don't know! Look Jonathan! Complete the mission! Keep going! Promise me!

  Computer Voice : Egress in 10 seconds.

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Airlock 3! All Station alert! Terminate egress!

  [alert sirens blare] 

  Capt. Forbes : You must keep going! Promise you will!

  Capt Jonathan Hays : [Jonathan frantically shakes his head no, and begins to try to ram the door with his body to no success] 

  Computer Voice : Egress commencing.

  Capt. Forbes : Keep going!

  [the outer airlock door opens and Captain Forbes is sucked out into deep space, to his death] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : Captain Forbes!

  [the computer announces the egress is completed. Jonathan, in shock, stares out the inner airlock window to where Captain Forbes stood moments ago. A worried look crosses his face] 

  Capt Jonathan Hays : .

• 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.
