TOLWYN:
What's the fleet's position?
:07:02
RICHARD: We're spread out
all over the sector.
:07:04
The earliest our advanced
elements can reach Sol...
:07:07
is forty-two hours...
:07:08
and that is taking risks
with the jumps, sir.
:07:12
TOLWYN: Give me
the Vega and Sol sectors.
:07:18
COMPUTER: Estimated Kilrathi
fleet's position.
:07:22
Projected time of travel
to Earth, forty hours.
:07:25
Locating
main Confederation fleet.
:07:30
Estimated time to Earth space,
forty-two hours.
:07:35
A mere two hours could decide
the outcome of this war.
:07:41
Signal all ships
to mark our course...
:07:43
and make full speed for Earth.
:07:46
I need to know what
the Kilrathi are up to, Richard.
:07:49
Do we have any more ships
left in Vega?
:07:52
Just one, sir.
The Tiger Claw.
:07:54
But she's beyond the range
of our communications...
:07:57
and a drone will take
two days to reach her.
:07:59
TOLWYN: Who's this?
:08:01
RICHARD: It's a requisitioned
merchantman...the...
:08:04
Diligent.
:08:05
The Diligent.
:08:07
RICHARD: Yes, sir.
:08:09
Captained by James Taggart...
:08:11
at present en route
to the Tiger Claw...
:08:14
with two replacement pilots--
:08:18
First Lieutenants Todd Marshall
and Christopher Blair.
:08:20
Open a secure channel
to the Diligent immediately.
:08:23
I want to speak
with her captain...
:08:26
and with this
First Lieutenant Blair.
:08:44
[Door opens]
:08:46
MARSHALL: Hey, Captain wants you
on the bridge.
:08:48
Say's it's top priority.
:08:52
Sir?
:08:55
I don't know
who you know, Lieutenant...
:08:57
but you got a Confed code one...
:08:59
secure communication
from Admiral Tolwyn.
