Another Life

An unidentified spacecraft appears in the sky above Earth. It lands in a field and grows a crystalline tower above it. Scientist Erik Wallace identifies a signal from the structure, sent to the star Pi Canis Majoris. Erik’s wife, astronaut Niko Breckinridge, is assigned command of the spaceship Salvare, replacing Ian Yerxa who becomes her first officer; the ship is sent to follow the signal. One month into the trip Niko is awakened from hibernation early due to a navigational error; the ship’s sentient AI, William, advises her that the route to Pi Canis Majoris is blocked by a previously unknown cloud of dark matter.Another Life Season 1 Download

Passing through the cloud at faster-than-light speeds would be unacceptably dangerous; at sublight speeds it will add seven months to the journey. The prime crew is awakened and they attempt to use the star Sirius A to slingshot around the cloud, but the plan fails, and Niko decides they will make the long trip through the cloud. Ian mutinies, with the aid of Oliver and Michelle, and takes command, forcing Niko back into hibernation. Ian uses August’s plan to shield the ship and complete the slingshot maneuver, but this too fails, putting the ship in danger. August awakens Niko, who retakes command and manages to save the ship, which is severely damaged in the process. While making repairs, Ian threatens Niko and she kills him in self-defence. On Earth, Erik makes a discovery regarding the crystalline structure, and establishes limited communication with it using Eine Kleine Nachtmusik.Damaged and out of communication with Earth, the Salvare loses most of the onboard oxygen supply; the crew has to vent hydrogen to avoid an explosion. On Earth, Erik is informed of the loss of contact, and goes home to spend time with Jana; he is confronted by media personality Harper Glass, who infers that the Salvare may have been destroyed. Jana later sees Harper’s broadcast and is heartbroken. William locates a rogue planet within range of their limited oxygen supply; the planet is rich in a mineral which contains both hydrogen and oxygen.
