Detailed Synopsis
On the Trans Soma emergency medical rescue vessel Nightingale 229, Sweetie wakes up Benj Sotomejor to play chess with her. Yerzy Penalosa and Danika Lund are having sex, while Nick Vanzant and A.J. Marley play ping-pong. Later, Marley makes a recording for his doctoral dissertation on old Tom and Jerry cartoons. While getting a neuroscan from Kaela Evers, Nick comments on Flyboy and she tells him that Marley is big on 20th century cultural artifacts so they dressed him as a World War I pilot. Kaela comments on Nick not associating with the rest of the crew and then asks him about his background. She gives him a bottle of Zyracon to help him get over his Hazen addiction. While Benj and Nick are playing cards, Sweetie warns him that he has a losing hand. Benj tells Nick that he illegally added human traits to Sweetie and after Sweetie tells him that Nick is likely to turn him in to the authorities, Nick assures him that he won't. While Kaela is studying up on medical equipment, Nick sits down next to her and she tells him that she was in a relationship once with a Hazen abuser. An emergency distress signal is received. Nick tells them that the signal is five days old and is a direct call specifically to the Nightingale. Nick continues that the signal is from Pohl 6822 specifically the mining operation of Titan 37. Sweetie tells them that Pohl 6822 was expelled from its orbit and is now a rogue body. Marley tells them that due to the distance they will have to make a dimension drive jump. Sweetie then tells them that the sender of the SOS is Karl Larson, which Kaela recognizes. Before the dimensional jump, Marley has Kaela switch dimensional stabilization units with him. They arrive at their location and find Marley's unit has malfunctioned causing him to partially fuse with the polyglass window. The Nightingale is hit by a debris storm and their fuel tanks are breached. Marley asks Kaela to kill him and she uses her laser cauterizer to kill him. Nick manages to keep the Nightingale from crashing and Sweetie tells him that they have lost 82% of their fuel and the dimensional drive will have to recharge. Kaela tells Nick that Marley is dead and later Nick offers Kaela some pear brandy. Yerzy shows Danika an application for the Planetary Population Commission in order to have a baby. Nick explains the situation to the crew and a ship from the Titan operation starts heading towards the Nightingale.
