[narrator]
on the nautilus
addison walked from bow to stern
giving those on board a tour
pointing out things they need to learn
if they want to fly
samuel stratford and sir john
had never been on a sp+ceship before
rose was smiling as she saw
the wonder fill their eyes
when she opened the doors…

a grand salon
a dining hall
a study with books from wall to wall
an organ fit with copper pieces
dakkar would often play
there were maps of the earth and sky
lavishly hanging from golden frames
even rose’s printing press plate
would soon be on display

[addison]
a captain’s chair next to the window
imagine the view of the milky way
a spiral stairway up to the bridge
(spoken)

and that concludes the tour. any questions?

[herschel]
air pressure, atmosphere
are these doors airtight?

[addison]
yes, they can be sealed
in case of emergency
each compartment+

[herschel]
tell me ’bout the engines
how does she fly?

[addison]
dakkar and ahlaam were able to derive+

[herschel]
what is the composition of the hull?
what is used for power?
what’s this purple b+tton do?

[rose, spoken]
sorry, addison. i think john’s broken
[herschel, spoken]
sensory overload

[addison]
beware the purple b+tton
it’s only to be used when the situation’s dire
it purges the room of atmosphere
in case of explosion or fire
there’s one in every room
in case something goes ‘boom’
it will set things right
just another thing you need to know during sp+ce flight

[rose, spoken]
where’s samuel?

[samuel, spoken]
down here!

[rose, spoken]
you’re missing the safety briefing

[samuel, spoken]
we can hear you!

[top]
(barks)
[addison, spoken]
i’ll get the boys. rose, can you+

[rose, spoken]
got it. here, john+

(b+ttons cl!ck)

no, don’t touch that+

(noises continue)

[narrator]
just below the bridge of the nautilus
at the base of the spiral stairwell
samuel stood in the map room

[addison, spoken]
i see you have an eye for the most important things

[narrator]
in his hands an item
no bigger than a book
a golden machine

[addison, spoken]
that’s the nautilus’ orrery

[narrator]
gears turned as he made the planets spin
uncertain of the power kept within

[samuel]
a masterpiece containing masterpieces
a multitude of miracles beneath your sh+ll
a galaxy in a golden box
what secrets will you tell?
the way to el dorado
or if atlantis ever stood
how the great pyramids were built
i know you’d answer if you could

guide us to our place
may your aim be true
we will follow you

[addison, spoken]
the orrery will bring us to the first gate

[samuel, spoken]
what are the gates?

[addison, spoken]
different for each of us. and the same

[samuel, spoken]
so…they’re a riddle?

[addison, spoken]
sort of. you’ll see

(sung)

a masterpiece containing masterpieces
a caravan of hands at infinity’s door
the hour of fate approaches
and i’ve never felt so sure
that everyone here is with a purpose
we all have a part to play
we will find the key
we’ll fly the gates
things will be okay

[addison, samuel]
words containing words
fortunes containing fate
a masterpiece containing masterpieces
waiting at the gate

[samuel, spoken]
you’re sure that all of this is going to work

[addison, spoken]
absolutely

[samuel, spoken]
i suppose we can use the orrery to go back in time and try again if it doesn’t

[addison, spoken]
actually…no

[samuel, spoken]
why? rose used the antikythera’s orrery to go back two weeks

[addison. spoken]
that was one of only two orreries with that capability. even then it takes such an effort to move through time that it burns out after only one use

[samuel, spoken]
okay…where’s the other one?

[addison, spoken]
i’m afraid it was lost long ago

[samuel, spoken]
huh. so we only have one shot at this

[addison, spoken]
we’ll make it count

(control panel buzzing)

[rose, spoken]
john! i told you not to turn that!

(panel powers down)

why do you have to touch everything?!
