INT. TERRACAT
A weary and sleep-deprived Clarke drives with great effort. She's clearly not well.
VFX
Reel 6: 218—02
A pale sweat betrays a high fever.
Reel 6: 218—03
A glint of light flares on the horizon. Clarke slows the rover.
Reel 6: 218—04
Suddenly, Corey’s AstroBug is sitting in the desert directly in front of her -- blocking the way!
Reel 6: 218—05
Clarke comes to a stop.
Reel 6: 218—06
She stares at the previously-destroyed spacecraft in awe.

It’s completely intact and looks brand new, silhouetted against the bright ochre sphere of Proxima Centauri.

A volcano erupts in the background as an O2-mask wearing Clarke makes her way to the apparition.

The AstroBug's ramp is extended, leading to the lower hatch.
Reel 6: 219—03
Clarke walks toward it.
Reel 6: 219—04
Unexpectedly, Jim Corey is standing in the entryway wearing standard flight coveralls with no envirosuit or mask!
Reel 6: 219—05
Clarke can’t believe her eyes as he flashes a smile at her.
Reel 6: 219—06
CLARKE " Jim..? "
Reel 6: 219—07
Corey turns, entering the open hatch.
Reel 6: 219—08

Reel 6: 220—03
Clarke follows again.
Reel 6: 221—01
INT. ASTROBUG, COCKPIT (HALLUCINATION)
As Clarke enters the cabin, Corey sits at his pilot’s station.
Reel 6: 221—02
He admires its curves and instrumentation.
Reel 6: 221—03
COREY " God. I loved this place. Always felt like I belonged here. I was looking forward to this ship being our home for a while. (smiling) At least until our hab-module was ready. "
Reel 6: 221—04
Clarke stands at the edge of the ladder.
Reel 6: 221—05
She looks almost afraid. She doesn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Reel 6: 221—06
Corey swivels his seat to face her.
Reel 6: 221—07
COREY (CONT’D) " How are you, babe? "
Reel 6: 221—08
CLARKE " How do you think?! I miss you! I hate this planet! There’s no point going on. That thing killed you! "
Reel 6: 221—09
COREY " No, it didn’t. And you know it. "
Reel 6: 221—10
CLARKE " Then what do you want me to do? "
Reel 6: 221—11
COREY " This is not about me. It’s about the mission. "
Reel 6: 221—12
CLARKE " Kyle wanted us to live with it. Coddle it like a pet or something. "
Reel 6: 221—13
COREY " I’m not sure he saw the big picture. Odyssey’s dying. The crew needs a place to live -- right now. "
Reel 6: 221—14
CLARKE " But isn’t it wrong to wipe out something that’s existed for billions of years? "
Reel 6: 221—15
COREY " Ask Darwin, babe. It’s survival of the fittest. The geoglyph fought back. It lost. Time to finish this thing -- once and for all. "
Reel 6: 221—16
Abruptly, Corey is standing behind Clarke.
Reel 6: 221—17
He embraces her. She closes her eyes, feeling the warmth of his touch.
Reel 6: 221—18
He kisses her ear.
Reel 6: 221—19

Reel 6: 222—02
The AstroBug and Corey are gone.
Reel 6: 222—03
Clarke falls to her knees in tears.
Reel 6: 222—04
She grabs handfuls of sand, attempting to ground herself.
Reel 6: 222—05
She stands and tosses the dirt angrily.
Reel 6: 223—02
She spies the node-board plugged into the dash.
VFX
Reel 6: 223—03
CLARKE " TerraCat, access the node-board. "
VFX
Reel 6: 223—04
TERRACAT " Accessing. "
Reel 6: 223—05
A wave of nausea -- the outcome of radiation exposure -- hits her hard. She does her best to continue.
Reel 6: 223—06
CLARKE " I want you to... I want... "
Reel 6: 223—07
Clarke can't hold back. She turns and throws up into the seat well. She coughs and wipes her mouth, pulling it together.
Reel 6: 223—08
CLARKE (CONT’D) " I want you to recalibrate. "
VFX
Reel 6: 223—09
TERRACAT " Specify parameters. "
VFX
Reel 6: 223—10
CLARKE " Access the entire shield grid. "
VFX
Reel 6: 223—11
The screen in front of her shows a map of the nodes.
Reel 6: 223—12
CLARKE (CONT’D) " Install the firewall in all active towers. Increase to maximum output. "
Reel 6: 223—13
Clarke reaches into a pocket on her suit and pulls out a cardsized, dog-eared printout of the Eiffel Tower.
VFX
Reel 6: 223—14
She looks at it for a moment with emotion, ...
Reel 6: 223—15
... then stuffs it back in her pocket.
Reel 6: 223—16
She punches the steering wheel in anger.
Reel 6: 223—17
Clarke looks forward to where the AstroBug appeared in her vision.
Reel 6: 223—18
She’s finally able to let go.
Reel 6: 223—19
CLARKE (CONT’D) " Goodbye, Jim. "
