236 Years earlier:

Josephine: I'm eclipsing the eclipse.

Gabriel: Come on, Josephine. Don't you have work to do?

Josephine: I'm doing it. Our mission is phase 1-- survive, phase 2-- populate. What do you say, Gabriel? You ready for phase 2?

Gabriel: That's what the embryos are for.

Josephine: Fine. Play hard to get. We both know you're obsessed with me.

Trisha:ew you are so nasty.

Josephine stuck her tongue out at Trisha.

Woman: Josephine! Trisha Your dad's looking for you!

Eligius III Outpost - Mission Team Alpha -- Day 21

Simmon:Look who I found.

Russell:I am perfectly capable of talking to my daughters alone.

Uh-huh, also perfectly overprotective and possibly megalomanical.

Josie: Possibly?

Russell:Stop with the hair.

Josie: Dad, busy.

Russell:Really? How many species have you cateloged today?

Josie: 17, still only 3 evolutionary branches -- insect, rodent, and reptile. A few of the weirder ones are hard to classify, so I created a new taxonomic category -- Guaiwu.

Russell:Guaiwu?

Trisha:Freaks in Chinese. Well, Mandarin, the be exact. One of them eats a berry that tastes like cotton candy.

Simmon:You tried it? Trisha, how many times do I need to tell you--

Josie: She didn't try it. I made the kids do it. Leelee loved it.

Simmon:How long ago?

Josie: Mom, if it were poisonous, they'd be dead by now.

Simmon:Mhmm. I'll go check on them.

Russell:Get me a sample to analyze.

Josie: What?

Russell:Do you remember when I told you why I became an astronomer?

Josie: Oh, here we go. Yes. You wanted to prove there's no God. Too bad Nietzsche beat you to it when he said, 'Gott Ist Tot' -- 'God is dead'. Can we go now?

Russell:What would you say if I told you that being here in this miraculous place makes me question that?

Josephine and Trisha looked At each other.

Trisha: I'd say, not everything that's miraculous is a miracle.

Russell:Hey, give Dr. Santiago some space, okay? I'm serious, kiddo. We're building a sanctuary for the human race here. Last thing I need is a brokenhearted geneticist. Copy?

Josie: I have a name for this place.

Russell:I don't know. I think Alpha is pretty hard to beat.

Josie: The latin root of sanctuary -- Sanctum.

Russell:Josephine Ada Lightborne, I do believe you just named our new world. Serious about Gabriel, kiddo.

Russell walked away leaving his daughters alone.
