[♪♪♪]
The founding of the United Ranger Corps
1,000 years ago was a global military effort,
an evacuation of Earth.
[♪♪♪]
The Rangers would lead the settlement
of mankind's new home,
Nova Prime.
[ENGINES CHUGGING]
But we were not alone.
[ENGINES WHINING]
The aliens released the Ursa--
[VICIOUS SCREECHING]
monsters bred to kill humans.
Technically blind, the Ursa sees humans
based on the pheromones we secrete when frightened.
They literally smell our fear.
Humankind was again in danger of extinction,
and again turned to the Rangers for the answer.
[♪♪♪]
And that answer came in the form
of the Prime Commander, Cypher Raige,
the Original Ghost.
He is believed to be so completely free of fear
that to an Ursa he is invisible.
This phenomena is known as "ghosting."
[♪♪♪]
[CADETS PANTING]
This isn't a race, Cadet!
MAN: Raige.
Your test scores are very impressive.
In the classroom, you are an outstanding Ranger,
but in the field, you collapse.
I'm not advancing you.
You may try again next year.
Sir, I am dedicated, have studied,
and consistently displayed
conduct becoming of a Ranger, sir!
I request the commander reconsider his assessment, sir.
Cadet... Sir...
my father's returning home tonight.
I haven't seen him in...
It's a very special day for our family,
and I have got to be able
to tell him that I am a Ranger, sir.
You tell your father...
that I said, "Welcome home."
Dismissed.
[♪♪♪]
Faia.
Hi.
[LAUGHS] Oh.
[♪♪♪]
[BLINDS SLIDING]
How were finals?
I wasn't advanced to Ranger.
Where do we look when we speak?
I was not advanced to Ranger.
You were not advanced to Ranger...
I was not advanced to Ranger, sir.
[SIGHS]
That's all right, you're young.
I ran the canyons 11 seconds faster than you did.
You weren't ready.
Velan's a good man, he knows his stuff.
If you were, he would have promoted you.
You weren't ready.
I'm not hungry.
I'm going to my room. Are you asking me
or telling me? May I go to my room, sir?
Denied! Sit down!
[QUIET WHIRRING]

[QUIETLY] Please, no.
[BOTH LAUGH]
I want my family back.
[SIGHS]
I want you back.
That boy in there
is trying to find you.
He's...a feeling boy.
Mm. He's an intuitive boy.
He watched you read that book with Senshi his entire life.
He's reading that book now.
He's reaching for you.
Don't get me wrong,
I respect everything you've done.
But you have a son in the other room that...
you do not know.
He blames himself for what happened to Senshi.
He thinks it's his fault.
He's drowning.
And he does not need a commanding officer.
[♪♪♪]
[WHISPERS] He needs a father.
[♪♪♪]
Pack your bags.
You're coming with me to Iphitos.
[♪♪♪]
FAIA: This was a really good decision.
Now, go and make some good memories together.
You take it easy on your father.
He's a little rusty.
Okay.
General Raige.
I was on the plateau.
You saved me and four others.
I just came from seeing my baby girl's face

You might want to go easy on him, Sarge.
That's the Prime Commander's son right there.
You're Raige's kid?

[FASTENER CLICKS, HISSES]

is when you don't have a trace of fear in you.

Most guys freeze.
That's your cerebral cortex
looking for an answer it doesn't have.
See? Even your brain knows you're screwed.
[WHISPERS] Your blood is filling with adrenaline right now.
Whether you know it or not, your heart's beating faster.
It's getting a little harder to breathe.
Your neurobiological system is telling you to run,
but your knees are too weak to move.
And it's...too late anyway.
Pores on your skin... have already opened up,
secreting an imperceptible amount of pheromones
into the air.
And all you can think about...

Good evening, General. CYPHER: Captain.
What's the last known position of the closest asteroid storm?
[COMPUTERS BEEPING]
Category-4 asteroid formation
2,000 kilometers to starboard
at plus four-five declination.
I detected graviton vibrations in the hull.
But you detected how?
Graviton buildup could be a precursor
to mass expansion.
That storm could be on us in minutes.
But, sir, mass expansion is one in a million.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER IN DISTANCE]
If we try to navigate out...
the pull of our own graviton weight could set the thing off.
Let's just hold course and hope I'm wrong.
Just out of interest, sir, how often are you wrong?
My wife would give
a very interesting answer to that question.
[RAPID BEEPING]
Graviton count's decreasing.
800 parts per million.

There is another one in the tail section of our ship.

somewhere in this area.
It's approximately 100 kilometers from here.
We need that beacon.
You understand?
Both my legs are broken, one very badly.
You are going to retrieve that beacon...

Do you understand?
Repeat what I just said to you.
I have to go retrieve the beacon...

[GROANS SOFTLY]
You have air filtration inhalers.
You need to take one now.
The fluid will coat your lungs,
increasing your oxygen extraction,
allowing you to breathe more comfortably in the environment.
You have six vials.
[EXHALES]
At your weight,
that should be 20 to 24 hours each.
That's more than enough.
Your lifesuit and backpack
are equipped with digital and virtual imaging,

I will guide you.
It'll be like I'm right there with you.
Take my cutlass.

every single decision you make
will be life or death.
This is a Class-1 quarantined planet.
Everything on this planet has evolved to kill humans.
Do you know where we are?
No, sir.
This is Earth.
[URSA SCREECHES]
The Ursa?
There are three possibilities. The first and most likely
is that it died in the crash.
The second and less likely
is that it is injured very badly and still contained.
The third and least likely... is that it is out.
We will proceed, however,
in anticipation of the worst-case scenario.
Every movement will be under protocol Escape and Evade.
If he's out there,
I will see him long before he gets anywhere near you.

I don't want that in there anymore.
So I pull it out.
And he lets me go.
And more than that, I can tell...
it can't find me.
Doesn't even know where to look.

And it dawned on me...
fear is not real.
The only place that fear can exist
is in our thoughts of the future.
It is a product of our imagination,

Wake up.
It's time for you to wake up.
Hey.
I was just about to come out that day.
[LAUGHS SOFTLY] No, you weren't.
But you did the right thing.
Dad says I should have tried.
He's just mad at himself, that's all.
Why couldn't you ghost?
You're close right now.
I am?
Are you scared?
No. I'm tired.
That's good.
You filled your heart with something else.
Now you got to get up.
I memorized some of "Moby Dick." Kitai, get up.
"All that maddens and torments, Kitai, wake up.
all that stirs up the lees of things, Wake up.
all truth with malice in it,
all that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain..."
[DISTORTED] Wake up!

It is the ionic layer...
in the atmosphere above your current position.
It is causing electrical interference.
That is why the beacon is not firing.

To your north.
The peak.
You must fire the beacon from the peak of that mountain.
See it, Kitai.
