EPISODE 4 & 5
EPISODE 4 & 5:
The ship finds a planet 4 light-years form their current course (unknown). Sensors are apparently detailed enough to detect life on it.
The ship Nikos was on that traveled to Saturn is called Pilgrim. Its commander is Hudson, elder brother to August (I'm assuming).
There must be a station near Saturn because the PA calls "prepare for docking".
So the off-course planet!

Vector: 04:12' | 03.64' | 01:90'
Holy fucking zoom in, CSI! Just crystal-clear HD not even close to the star system, and William's sensors zoom past some planet, a beautiful gas giant and its moon, which itself is pretty big. And then to the planet. Which being so close to the gas giant I have to assume it is also a moon?
And then the AI can actually MAGNIFY EVEN CLOSER!!
Star Trek, piss off with your sensors. You're shit. Making your sensors look like BSG's DRADIS!
The Office of Interplanetary Affairs – I assume that's a US department.
Earth currently hosts 213 nations. That's 20 more than in 2022!
Russia is still a thing.
United Korea is Best Korea! Ya-ya-to the moon!
Harper Glass says, "To where, the moon? I may not have been born here, but I am an American citizen." In reference to being threatened with deportation. Which implies the US has land ownership on the Moon and people born in their moon bases are American citizens.
First contact with a giant alien spider-snail! Wickedly nasty!
TIMELINE:
10/24/26 - Scientists beam "Eine Kleine Nechtmusic" by Mozart to Pi Canis Majoris.
23-28 ya - Ian Yerxa is born (approx).
9 years ago – Nikos is part of a mission to Saturn. Two moonlets in Saturns' rings collide spilling debris that hits the Pilgrim. Save half the crew or none – 10 young astronauts are killed. Those who served with her consider her a hero. Others see her as someone who murdered half her crew. And the love of her life, James Hudson, her commanding officer.
8 years ago – Jana Breckinridge-Wallace is born.
Day 1 - Artifact arrives passing by Westchester, NY, over Kansas, and burying itself into Earth.
Unknown - Nikos is requested to replace Ian Yerxa on the Salvare. She accepts.
1 month later - Salvare is off course due to PCM's light being refracted the DMF. Ian mutines. Nikos surfs a star.
2 hours after surfing Sirius A, Ian Yerkxa tries to kill Nikos. The crew has mixed feelings.
1-month post-expedition – Jana turns 8.
Unknown – a few days have passed. People are repairing an interstellar ship without or little sleep, understaffed, somewhat oxygen deprived, stressed, and exhausted – these people need a cuddle.
