Raven Reyes : That's not the hard part. The rocket was designed to dock with Polaris, not the Ark. That means I have to pilot it into the hangar bay on the ring.
Harper McIntyre : What's so hard about that?
Raven Reyes : That's not the hard part, either.
Clarke Griffin : What is the hard part, Raven?
Raven Reyes : Assuming we blast off in time, the CO2 scrubbers on a two-person rocket won't support 8 of us.
Clarke Griffin : Why don't we use supplemental oxygen?
Monty Green : Our tanks only hold an hour of air.
Raven Reyes : Correct. We'll have one hour to get into orbit, land in the hangar bay, and fire up the life support system using an oxygen generator built to supply a lighthouse bachelor pad.
John Murphy : You suck at talking people into things, you know that right?
Bellamy Blake : Anyone here still need to be talked into this?
[pause, nobody answers, indicating consent]
Bellamy Blake : Good. Now we know the many ways we might die today, why don't you tell us what we have to do to live?

Raven Reyes : It's 210 miles from Polis to the island. According to what was our last drone, the wave is accelerating. If we're not off the ground at least 20 minutes before it hits, the electromagnetic charge in the pyroclastic cloud will shut down the rocket's avionics, meaning it won't fly. That gives us 90 minutes to run a six hour preflight check, retrieving the oxygen generator from the lighthouse, turn a cockpit designed for two into one that can carry 8, and load the cargo hold with enough food to keep us from starving in space, while we wait for the algae to bloom.
John Murphy : I thought you said it was gonna be hard.
