This week the Raza go on a salvage job that goes horribly wrong.  Three (Sunshine) continues to pull One’s (Pretty Boy) strings, and Five discovers a piece of mysterious technology near the boy dead body’s location.Dark Matter S1E5 01

 

  • David Hewlett guests stars as the mysterious handler who originally gave the Raza crew the mission that was hired by Ferrous Corp about the miners.
  • Five( Kid) finds a piece of technology that the Android recognizes as subatomic Matrix Card that is part of a larger that accesses pockets of extra-dimensional space. The Kid tells the Android to not tell anyone about what she found.
  • One goes to Two’s quarters and finds Three in their getting dressed. Two doesn’t act surprise to One’s arrival.
  • The mysterious handler (David Hewlitt) tells Two (Boss Lady) that they have to do this salvaging job to make up for their failed job with the miners and take a major financial cut for compensation.
  • They reach the ISS Far Horizon, the freighter that they are supposed to salvage. As they search the ship, Four (Slashy) and Six (Tiny)find dead crewmembers ripped apart like animals.  Two gets attacked by a crazy rabid crewman and gets bitten.
  • Six and Four take Two back to the Raza and into an isolation chamber in the med ward. They are afraid that Two will become infected and she would have to be killed.  Four talls her that he would it and make it an honorable death.
  • The Android tells the crew that this freighter was part of secret mission ordered by the Traugott Corporation to arrive at the planet Taurian Alpha to pick up pharmaceutical research that was suppose to study and extract chemicals from its trees that theoretically holds the key to immortality. But it instead produced one of the most deadly viruses known to man.  The crew got infected and attacked each other.  The virus is passed by saliva and blood.
  • While Four and Six take Two back to the Raza for medical treatment, One and Three start to continued their salvage hunt.  One decides to not be under Three’s control and decides that when this is all over he will tell the crew everything and tells him that Two will never be attracted to him.  Three disagrees, she needs a bad boy not a Pretty Boy.
  • One and Three get cornered by some dead infected walkers, but Six finds a way to get them off the Horizon.
  • Two waits for the virus to take over her, but it doesn’t. The Android clears her of the infection.  Unfortunately, fear has taken it’s toll on the rest of the crew about her health and their risk.
  • One suggests that they destroy the Far Horizon to prevent anyone from finding it.
  • Three gets a visit from Two, but with her being infected earlier, he is hesitant about being close to her.
  • Two goes back to her room and finds out that not only is she clear of the virus, but the wound is completely healed.

This week the crew is tested by a deadly virus and their capacity to work as a team.  Three and One’s budding relationship is like a hate/hate relationship.  Their opinion towards one another has animosity, but they strangely compliment one another with their back and forth banter.  Next week, the Kid seems to be in danger, both by her health and by the crew.
