Away. As the life support systems beeped their last warnings, the alien child Merlock cried out
0:06
in terror while his family's spacecraft disintegrated around them. The life support was failing
0:11
and his father, Zorin, was mortally injured, his lifeblood spreading across the cabin floor
0:17
Around them, other civilizations turned their backs, none heeding their desperate pleas for help
0:23
It was the merciless insectoid krill-THX soldiers who had devastated Merle's homeworld
0:27
obliterating cities and massacring civilians. Murlock, along with his parents Zorin and Arena
0:33
had narrowly escaped the flaming wreckage of their planet in a small shuttle. Unfortunately, during their harrowing escape
0:40
Zorin had been struck by Shrapnel, severely wounding him. Now they drifted aimlessly through space
0:45
Their air supply dwindling as Zoran's condition worsened. Despite their distress calls, no one responded
0:52
until a KAC warship detected their signal. The insectoids intent on eradicating any surviving
0:57
were closing in to finish their deadly task. Help us anyone, please, Arina pleaded over the communication system
1:04
Her voice soaked with desperation. Nearby alien ships the pacifistic lean the avaricious oric and the indifferent hay binar all deactivated their communications and fled the scene It was then that a new species the humans answered the distress call
1:21
Though their approaching vessel was small and modestly armed, it was their only hope
1:26
The humans were still 30 minutes away. Would they arrive in time to make a difference
1:30
The humans. Zorian Shuttle. This is Captain Ames of the Terra Nova
1:35
We're coming in hot. Hold tight. The voice was resolute, tinged with earth
1:39
Unlike the distant and detached responses from the Galactic Council, the human tone was
1:45
decisive and immediate. The krill-THX warship had opened fire just as the Zorian shuttle's shields gave out
1:53
With mere minutes before total collapse, Murlock and his family could only hope that the humans
1:58
would reach them in time. Arena and Merlock huddled together, surrounded by the encroaching shadow of despair
2:05
as Zorin's breathing grew more labored. As the KAC warship prepared to deliver its final strike, the human ship Terra Nova appeared on the horizon
2:14
It was smaller than the council ships, but it moved with a boldness that belied its size
2:19
The crew of the Terra Nova initiated evasive maneuvers to intercept the incoming fire
2:24
effectively drawing the attention of the insectoid ship Hold on Zorian family We deploying our shields to cover your shuttle Captain Ames announced as the human ship aligned itself between the warship and the shuttle
2:36
The Terra Nova's shields flared brightly, absorbing the blasts that would have otherwise been fatal for the Zorians
2:42
Arena, gripping Merlock close, felt a surge of relief mixed with disbelief
2:46
The humans, a species they knew nothing about, were risking everything to save them
2:50
Thank you, she breathed into the calm, her voice cracking with emotion
2:55
You're risking so much for us. It's what we do, came the reply, almost casual but deeply sincere
3:01
No one gets left behind in space, not if we can help it. As the Terra Nova continued its defensive maneuvers, more human ships appeared
3:10
forming a protective barrier around the Zorean shuttle. Despite their smaller size and lighter armaments
3:16
the human fleet coordinated their efforts with precision, managing to hold off the KAC warship long enough for additional Galactic Council reinforcements
3:23
to reconsider their stance and join the fray, influenced by the human's unexpected bravery
3:29
Merlock, peering out from his mother's embrace, watched in awe as these brave new allies
3:35
humans fought valiantly against the overwhelming odds In that moment a spark of hope was rekindled within him fueled by the courage of a distant species that had come to their rescue when all seemed lost KAC warships hull as the Resolve missiles found their
3:51
mark. The retaliatory fire from the Resolve's beam weapons cut through the void, targeting critical
3:57
systems and causing secondary explosions within the enemy ship. Amidst the chaos, the Resolve
4:03
held its course, steady and unyielding. On board the Zorian Shuttle, Arena held Merlin
4:09
close, her heart pounding as she watched the scene unfold through the viewport. The once menacing
4:15
KAC warship was now faltering under the relentless assault from the resolve. Her grip tightened
4:20
around her sun, her whispers of reassurance mingling with the distant sounds of battle. Captain
4:26
Reynolds watched intently from the bridge of the resolve, his crew working with precision and
4:30
determination. Keep the pressure on. Focus fire on their propulsion systems, he commanded, his voice
4:37
carrying the weight of their critical mission. The crew responded instantly, adjusting their fire as the resolve maneuvered for a better angle
4:44
The resolve's advanced shields glowed under the continuous onslaught. Each impact a testament to human engineering and resolve
4:52
Captain Reynolds' gaze remained fixed on the tactical display, monitoring the effectiveness
4:56
of each strike. Engineering. Reroute power to shield
