PART 01: Meeting Brennan

BRENNAN
Argonia City streets when I had first arrived
Warm sunlight on my face, the Ocean was nearby
I was lost in my thoughts when a woman spoke to me
Stunning blue hair and her smile seemed to embrace the world

SIOBHAN
I think back then I was smiling all the time
When the man from the Old Earth arrived on Argon Prime

BRENNAN
It took a while before I met that woman again
Her story seemed so strange and yet it rang so true
She was in the thick of a fight we could not afford to lose
Always cocky, confident and with a side of cool

SIOBHAN
I still was flying high on dopamine for sure
Patching up the raw spots of my soul he never knew


PART 02: Meeting Nopileos

NOPILEOS
After a battle she barely escaped,
We picked her up from the wreck of her ship
I was awestruck how unfazed she seemed
In the face of demise

Later I learned of her fortune and fate
And how curiously similar we were
Across species we found common ground
Friends for millennia to come


PART 3: Meeting Elena

ELENA
When we first met, she and I both
Were on critical misssions
And at first I wondered who on Earth
Would ask her along
For what purpose would anyone
Need a mathematician?
When in fact we'd rather need someone
To handle a gun

SIOBHAN
I'm not your girl from next door
(Not your girl from next door)
I'm like a post-doc: hardcore
(Just like a post-doc: hardcore)

ELENA
Soon I learned she kept her cool when
Facing serious trouble
And I found her problem-solving skills
Always prevailed
Thinking things through like she does
When hard pressed for time is
Supplemental to a warrior like me
Wielding a gun

SIOBHAN
I'm not a warrior like you
(Not a warrior like you)
But I can see my way through
(I think I'll see my way through)


PART 04: Extinction Level Event

SIOBHAN
So they asked me to come along
I said: "Consider it done."
If only I had known it all in advance
I would have laughed; forget it, not a chance!

BRENNAN
Xenon are threatening to destroy a sun
Can we put ourselves in their way?
The madness of this plan slowly sinking in
This we won't win!

ELENA
Blinding light, eternal night
A star will die

EPIC CHOIR
On the Day of the Black Sun!

NARRATOR
Onward into the sunlight we'd fly
Not knowing that it would turn into night

ELENA / NOPILEOS
Blinding light (a blinding light)
Eternal night (in eternal night)
A star will die (a star will die)

EPIC CHOIR
On the Day of the Black Sun!

SIOBHAN
So they asked me what should be done
I said: "We must keep pushing on."
The only thing that comes to mind at a glance
Randomly jumping in space?
That's insane!

NARRATOR
Farther into the darkness we ride
Trusting the quirks of machines with our lives

BRENNAN
Ionized plasma is engulfing us
Neutrinos are pushing their way
Electromagnetical shielding will fail
Can we prevail?

ELENA / NOPILEOS
Blinding light (a blinding light)
Eternal night (in eternal night)
A star will die (a star will die)

EPIC CHOIR
On the Day of the Black Sun!
