***3 MONTHS EARLIER***

Anders: I know you've ony agreed to disciple training to get out of your cells. That's because you're blind to what's really going on. I'm about to open your eyes to the truth of our cause.

Octavia: Where are we going?

Anders: I realize that taking things on faith is not in your nature, so I'm gonna show you what happens if we lose the last war. Surface.

Hope: You are pretty brave, taking us yourself.

Anders: It's not bravery, Hope. You see, this elevator will stay on the surface until I signal for it to be brought down. I take it on faith that you'd rather not die today. Good. Then masks on. The particulate matter in the air is lethal to humans. It'll literally calcify you from the inside.

Octavia: Gabriel saved us.

Hope: Where is Gabriel?

Anders: Gabriel is no longer your concern.

Echo: This is what you're preparing to fight?

Anders: No. The Bardoans lost their last war. This is all that is left.

Octavia: Let me get this straight. The 10-foot aliens with superior technology that built this place got genocided and turned to stone by the enemy that we're gonna fight.

Anders: Precisely. Now you know what you're training for.

Diyoza: I do love me an unwinnable war.

Emori: Just sit tight. I know it's scary, but we'll find a way out of this. You stay quiet, okay?

Madi: No!

Emori: Madi...

Nikki: Aren't you a spitfire? But you need to calm yourself. We're just gonna chat... for now. This thing on? Good evening, Sanctum. This is Nikki at the mic with my friend Nelson beside me. Thank you for your patience, but we have some requests. We would like to extend an invitation to Russell and Daniel Prime and Raven Reyes to meet us at the palace. You have twenty minutes to get here, or we start killing hostages. Want to take a guess who'll be first? I'll let her introduce herself.

Emori: This is Kaylee Prime. Daniel, I don't want you to do--

Nikki: Uh-uh. What we talked about.

Emori: Fine. I'm supposed to tell you that I'm looking at a gun pointed at my head, but I don't want you to do anything stupid.

Murphy: Damn it.

Jackson: Murphy, wait. You heard what she said. Don't be stupid.

Nikki: She's brave. I'll give her that. Be a shame to have to kill her. 20 minutes. Oh. Look. Now it's 19. Tick Tock.

Jackson: We need a plan.

Murphy: All right. Well, here is what we are working with. They have a lot of guns. Wonkru won't listen to us. I am 150 pounds wet, and you can't fight to save your life.

Indra: Guard the door. I'm gone for half a day, and now the palace is surrounded with armed COGs and convicts?

Murphy: Where have you been?

Jackson: We have a situation.

Indra: I heard the announcement.

Murphy: I'm sure Nelson wants us Primes to tell the faithful we're full of crap.

Indra: Or he wants to kill you.

Murphy: Where's everyone else? They asked for Raven, too.

Indra: All we found were bodies and blood at Gabriel's camp... not our people. There was no trace of them. We left a unit in the field to keep searching, I was afraid to stay out too long, and I'm afraid I'm right, considering what I just walked in on. Gaia is with them, too, but they can take care of themselves. Obviously, you can't.
