VOLKER: OK. Well, we've got a couple of Gate addresses popping up ... Holy cow, do you see that?
(Suddenly there is the sound of engines outside Young's window. He turns and sees a familiar - and impossible - vessel flying alongside Destiny.)
YOUNG (into radio): Yeah, I do.
(Dale runs to another window to get a better view.)
VOLKER (into radio): That looks like our shuttle.
YOUNG (into radio): Yes, it does. Rush, this is Young. Meet me on the Bridge, now.
(As the shuttle continues to fly alongside, Young hurries to the Bridge.)
YOUNG: What's it doing?
VOLKER: Nothing. It's just matching our velocity off the right side.
YOUNG: Where did that thing come from?
VOLKER: I don't know! I mean, one minute it wasn't there, the next minute it was.
(Nicholas comes onto the Bridge, followed by Adam.)
RUSH: What's happened?
(Young points out of the window.)
YOUNG: Just came out of nowhere.
BRODY: Is that the shuttle?!
YOUNG: Yeah, seems like it.
(He looks round at Adam pointedly.)
BRODY: Uh, no, I wasn't drinking, I was fixing it.
(A man's voice comes over the comms.)
VOICE: Hello? Can anyone hear me? Hello?
(The men stare in amazement.)
RUSH: That sounds like Caine!
VOLKER: Caine's more monotone than that.
YOUNG: Yeah, he's also in another galaxy.
VOICE (sounding uncertain and bewildered): Hello? This is Robert Caine. Um, we can see the Destiny. What should we do?
YOUNG (to his crew): How?!

JOHANSEN: They're all in perfect health - no trace of disease or malnutrition, just like the day we left them.
YOUNG: What are the odds of that?
JOHANSEN: Eight adults who've been through what they've been through?!
YOUNG: You know, not one of them remembers a damn thing about the planet or how they got here.
JOHANSEN: Well, Caine believes that's God's way of telling them they've been reborn.
YOUNG (cynically): Was that before or after He gave them amnesia?
JOHANSEN: The others think that maybe the aliens discovered them and returned them to us as an act of benevolence.
YOUNG: Well, that's nice(!)
JOHANSEN: You're not buying it.
YOUNG: Nah. These aliens are too damn powerful. Building planets, rebuilding shuttles - they could ... they could squash us like ants if they wanted to.

SHUTTLE. Caine walks in to where Nicholas is standing.
CAINE: Doctor Rush! Found you.
(He smiles happily at him and walks closer to the front windows.)
CAINE: Hey. I see we've come out of F.T.L. Anything interesting out there?
RUSH: Well, there's always something interesting out there.
CAINE: Yeah.
RUSH: I've just been going over the shuttle's navigational data, trying to figure out the path you took back to Destiny.
CAINE: And?
RUSH: Well, it seems you were there ... and then you were here. Nothing in between.
CAINE: I wish I could help you with that, but I fell asleep there and I woke up here.
RUSH: Yeah.
CAINE: Listen, I heard that you've learned what Destiny's original mission was.
RUSH: Yes, we have.
CAINE: In search of a message from the moment of creation?
RUSH: Oh, I don't know about "message". "Fingerprints" might be a better word - a sign that some intelligence may have had a hand in all of this.
CAINE: The hand of God?
(Nicholas laughs.)
RUSH: I don't know about that either, I'm afraid. I'm a scientist. I'd go so far as to call it evidence of an intelligence having existed prior to its own potential to exist.
CAINE: Ah, you just can't bring yourself to call it a miracle, can you?

ALICE: Excuse me, sir. Have you seen a rather large white rabbit with a yellow waistcoat and white gloves here about?
(Wordlessly, McCoy points in the direction the rabbit went. The girl curtseys nicely)
ALICE: Thank you very much.

Encyclopædia Britannica
Georges Claude
FRENCH ENGINEER
Georges Claude, (born Sept. 24, 1870, Paris, France—died May 23, 1960, Saint-Cloud) engineer, chemist, and inventor of the neon light, which found widespread use in signs and was the forerunner of the fluorescent light.
In 1897 Claude discovered that acetylene gas could be transported safely by dissolving it in acetone. His method was generally adopted and brought a wide expansion to the acetylene industry. Independently of the German chemist Carl von Linde, he developed a process for producing liquefied air in quantity (1902). Although he proposed the use of liquid oxygen in iron smelting as early as 1910, his suggestion was not adopted until after World War II.
While studying the inert gases, Claude found that passing electrical current through them produced light, and in 1910 he developed the neon lamp for use in lighting and signs. With the introduction of inner fluorescent coatings, the fluorescent light was developed and began to replace the incandescent lamp in industrial and certain home-lighting uses.
Claude also developed a process for the manufacture of ammonia in 1917 that was similar to the process developed by the German chemist Fritz Haber. In his efforts to find new sources of energy, he conducted experiments in producing electricity from the difference in temperature between the ocean floor and the surface.

WRAY: ... it's the last night; the night before you woke up inside the shuttle and Destiny was there.
CAINE: Yes. I remember.
WRAY: Tell me what you see.
(In flashback, Caine is visibly close to death as he gazes across the shuttle in despair.)
CAINE (on Destiny): It's very dark. There's no pain, just ... just the cold.
WRAY: Who else is there with you?
CAINE: Uh ...
(He shakes his head in distress as he sees the others sitting nearby in the shuttle, their eyes all closed.)
WRAY: What?
CAINE (on Destiny): They're all dead, frozen.
(He shudders in horror as he looks around the ship at his dead colleagues.)
CAINE (on Destiny): I'm alone.
WRAY: What are you doing?
CAINE (on Destiny): Nowhere for me to go.
(He sits silently in the shuttle with frost on his face, his expression hopeless.)
CAINE (on Destiny): Nothing to do now but pray.
(He jolts and opens his eyes, the hypnosis broken.)
CAINE: Next thing I remember is waking up on the shuttle and seeing Destiny out the window.
(He looks down and flexes his hands as if they're cold. Young walks closer to him.)
YOUNG: Is that all?
CAINE: I wish I had more answers for you.
YOUNG: Me too.
(He turns to walk away and Camille gets up to go and talk with him.)
CAINE: But you won't have to drop me off at the next planet, Colonel.
(They turn back to him.)
CAINE: I expect I'll be dead before you come back out of F.T.L.
WRAY: You don't know that.
CAINE: Yes, I do. Because now I remember something that no-one ever should.
(He sighs and looks up at the others, his face full of despair.)
CAINE: I'm already dead.
ELI'S ROOM. Vanessa comes to the doorway and holds up a Kino.
JAMES: Eli. You leave this in the shuttle?
WALLACE: No, why?
JAMES: Well, somebody did.
(She tosses it to him and he catches it. She walks away again.)
INFIRMARY. Camille and Young escort Caine into the room. T.J. is just pulling a sheet over the face of another of the Eden crew. Another covered body lies nearby.
JOHANSEN: They all died in their sleep.
CAINE: With symptoms of severe exposure?
JOHANSEN: Yeah. But I'm guessing whatever the aliens did to bring you back - it was only temporary.
WRAY: You're all just reverting back to the state they probably found you in.
JOHANSEN (to Caine): I'm sorry. I did everything I could think of.
(He forces a smile for her.)
CAINE: It's not your fault.
(Looking round at his dead colleagues, he sighs.)
CAINE: How much time do I have left?
JOHANSEN (softly): Not much.
CAINE: May I be allowed to see the stars one last time?
YOUNG: Yeah, of course. Go ahead.
(Caine suppresses a shudder and looks at T.J.)
CAINE: I would like very much not to be alone.
(T.J. glances across at her commanding officer, who looks unhappy but doesn't forbid her from going. She looks back to Caine and smiles softly.)
Shortly afterwards, with a blanket around him, Caine walks onto the Observation Deck with Tamara. He gazes in awe at the F.T.L. vortex ahead of him.
CAINE: Wow.
(The two of them walk to the front bench and sit down on it.)
CAINE: I forgot how beautiful this view was.
JOHANSEN: Maybe they were just giving you the chance to see it one more time, or to say goodbye to all of us.
CAINE: This isn't me - at least, not the man I was. That's what Doctor Rush was trying to tell me in his own way. I just didn't believe him.

CAINE: This body's nothing but a shadow - not reborn but reanimated, and not by God but by beings who can rebuild a man's body ... but not his soul.
(He gazes out at the vortex.)
CAINE: Maybe that's what you and Colonel Young were sensing.
(He pulls the blanket tighter around him as T.J. smiles a little and looks at him.)
JOHANSEN: I don't feel that way now.
(Shivering, he looks across at her.)
CAINE: It's kind of you to say. But even though I have his thoughts, and some of his memories, I'm not the Robert Caine that God made.
JOHANSEN: After all of this, you still believe?
CAINE: That is faith, T.J. I believe that my soul has already moved on and is looking down, even now, marvelling at how kind you are to comfort a shadow.
(He shivers again, and T.J. puts a gentle hand on his back.)
CAINE: You have to believe with all of your heart that your daughter is in a better place. The greatest gift that you can give her - and to all of us - is to live your life, to fulfil Destiny's mission, and have faith in each other.
(He smiles gently at her. She returns the smile through her tears, and the two of them turn and look out at the vortex again.)
Eli has watched the footage from the Kino found in the shuttle, and has called Young, Camille and Nicholas to his room to watch. They stand nearby as he sets the footage going again. Inside the shuttle the Kino turns to focus on Robert Caine sitting on the floor.
CAINE (weakly): If anyone's listening, help us.
(He pulls in an agonised breath as the Kino draws closer to him.)
CAINE: Help us. Please. I don't wanna die. Help.
(Behind him, a bright glow appears outside the front window. Gasping, Robert brushes aside the blanket covering his head and turns to look out of the window. The glow becomes brighter and envelops the entire ship, and the screen fills with white light.)
(The footage ends. Eli switches off the screen and turns to look at the others. Nobody speaks, all of them lost in their own thoughts.)
