The Interceptor
Space-Corp is preparing an interceptor to find the spaceship.
INT. SPACESHIP - NIGHT
ANYA and JAX are working frantically in the control room of their spaceship. They are preparing to launch the drones that Anya has designed to confuse the Space-Corp interceptor.
ANYA (Checking her instruments) The interceptor is getting closer. We need to hurry.
JAX (Loading a drone into the launch bay) I'm on it.
Anya and Jax worked quickly and efficiently to launch the drones. They are both highly skilled and experienced, and they know that their lives may depend on the success of this mission.
ANYA (Launching a drone) Drone one away.
JAX (Launching another drone) Drone two away.
They continue to launch the drones one by one, sending them in different directions. Anya monitors the drones' progress on her instruments.
ANYA (Smiling) The drones are working perfectly. The interceptor is confused. It doesn't know which way to go.
JAX (Breathing a sigh of relief) That's good news.
Anya and Jax continue to monitor the drones and the interceptor. They know that they are not out of danger yet, but they have bought themselves some time.
Anya is engrossed in studying Space-Corp's capabilities and projects. Jax helps her to monitor the interceptor and supervise the children. They work hard to establish a routine on board and keep the children busy.
INT. SPACESHIP - DAY
ANYA and JAX are sitting in the control room of their spaceship. They are looking at a holographic display of Space-Corp's capabilities and projects.
ANYA (Preoccupied) Space-Corp has some impressive technology. We need to find a way to use it to our advantage.
JAX (Nodding) I agree. But we need to be careful. Space-Corp is a powerful company. They won't go down without a fight.
ANYA (Smiling) I know. But we're smarter than them. We're more resourceful. We'll find a way to win.
Anya turns away from the display and looks at Jax.
ANYA (Cont'd) How are the children?
JAX (Smiling) They're doing well. They're still learning the Maj language, but they're picking it up quickly.
ANYA (Relieved) That's good. I want them to be able to communicate with us easily.
JAX (Nodding) I do too.
Anya and Jax look at each other for a moment. They are both determined to protect their children and to build a better future for them.
INT. SPACESHIP - NIGHT
Anya and Jax are looking at the holographic display of Mark and Samantha infiltrating Space-Corp. Anya has hacked the Space-Corp video cameras and she can watch what's going on.
ANYA (To Jax) Mark is doing a great job. He and Samantha have already infiltrated Space-Corp.
JAX (Smiling) That's great news! I'm glad to hear it.
ANYA (Nodding) Me too. Now, we just need to wait until the interceptor is farther away before we call Mark.
JAX (Nodding) Good idea. We don't want to risk being intercepted.
Anya and Jax continue to monitor the interceptor. They know that they need to be patient, but they are also excited to finally be able to communicate with Mark.
INT. TOBY'S ROOM - DAY
Anya enters Toby's room and sees that he has customized it to make it his own. There are posters of his favorite spaceships on the walls, and there is a large VR set in the corner of the room.
ANYA (Smiling) I see you've made yourself comfortable.
TOBY (Nodding) Yes, I have. I wanted to make my room feel like home.
ANYA (Looking around) You've done a great job.
Anya sits down on Toby's bed.
ANYA (To Toby) How are you doing?
TOBY (Smiling) I'm doing great. I'm really enjoying being here.
ANYA (Relieved) I'm glad to hear it. I know it was a big change for you, but I wanted you to be safe and happy.
TOBY (Nodding) I am safe and happy. Thank you, Anya.
Anya and Toby talk for a while longer about Toby's life on the spaceship and his plans for the future. Anya is impressed by Toby's maturity and intelligence.
Jax and Anya enter a private quarter of the spaceship and sit down to a meal.
ANYA (Sighing) Finally, we have some time to rest. I've lost track of the interceptor. I guess it's going deeper into space chasing a phantom.
Jax is nodding and eating hungrily.
JAX (Smiling) I'm so hungry.
A service robot enters the room with more food. Jax puts down his fork and knife and looks at the robot.
JAX (To the robot) Thank you.
The robot nods and leaves the room.
Anya looks at Jax with a worried expression on her face.
ANYA (To Jax) Are you sure we can trust that robot?
JAX (Putting a hand on Anya's shoulder) Don't worry. He's on our side.
ANYA (Nodding) Okay. I trust you.
Jax and Anya resume eating. They are both relieved to have some time to relax and recover from the recent events.
Anya and Jax finish eating. Anya takes the VR set and looks at Jax.
ANYA (To Jax) I think it's time.
JAX (Nodding) I agree.
Anya puts on the VR set and calls Mark. There is no response.
ANYA (To Jax) He's not answering.
JAX (Taking out a tablet) Let me check.
Jax calculates something on the tablet.
JAX (To Anya) It's the middle of the night at Mark's place. He's probably asleep.
ANYA (Sighing) I hope I haven't put him in danger.
JAX (Putting a hand on Anya's shoulder) Don't worry. He's a smart guy. He'll be fine.
Anya and Jax look at each other for a moment. They are both determined to defeat Space-Corp, but they are also worried about the safety of their friends.
Anya is worried about Samantha. She doesn't know yet what side she's on, and she's worried that Samantha is changing sides too easily. She's also a little jealous of Samantha, but she's hiding that from Jax.
Anya and Jax are sitting in the control room of the spaceship. They are looking at a holographic display of Samantha.
ANYA (Sighing) This woman... I don't fully trust her.
JAX (Nodding) I understand. She's done some things that have made her seem suspicious.
ANYA (Looking at Jax) But she's also helped us. She's given us information about Space-Corp and she's helped us to infiltrate it.
JAX (Nodding) That's true. But I can't help but wonder what her real motives are.
ANYA (Sighing) Me too.
Anya and Jax look at each other for a moment. They are both deep in thought.
ANYA (To Jax) What should we do?
JAX (Thinking) I think we need to keep a close eye on her. We need to be careful not to give away too much information to her.
ANYA (Nodding) I agree.
Anya and Jax continue to look at the holographic display of Samantha. They are both determined to protect themselves and their team from Samantha, even if she is on their side for now.
To be continued ... What is going on back on Earth?
