Appena entrati nel relitto, gli uomini di Manning si imbattono nel corpo senza vita di uno dei tre dispersi. La squadra avanza a fatica negli intricati tubi di silicio, mentre Decker deve lottare con le sensazioni che arrivano da troppe fonti senza riuscire a individuare la posizione esatta degli alieni. Fuori dal relitto intanto una delle due squadre di copertura fa un incontro ravvicinato con i primi esseri alieni che vengono allo scoperto.

Decker cerca di avvertire che qualcosa è in agguato nei tubi di silicio nero che partono dallo scafo del relitto, ma i mercenari, avvezzi a rischiare la vita, sottovalutano i pericoli che la missione comporta, convinti di poterla completare in breve tempo. Intanto, i tre esploratori nel relitto rilevano tracce di attività umana nell'astronave anche se, per quanto ne sapessero, nessun terrestre aveva mai messo piede nell'astronave. Dopo poco si accorgono che qualcosa non quadra e che dovranno cercare di difendersi da ciò che sta per attaccarli.

Su New Galveston un team di archeologi ha scoperto un'antica città che si estende per molti chilometri in cui sperano di rinvenire antichi e preziosi manufatti. Mentre Decker e i mercenari scendono nella miniera, Rollins e il team scientifico scoprono che il corpo mummificato ritrovato nella capsula medica è quello di uno dei membri dell'equipaggio della Marion.

Decker si risveglia in una capsula per l'ipersonno insieme alle truppe mercenarie ai comandi del Sergente Manning. Mentre si avvicinano al pianeta, l'uomo fa la conoscenza del caporale Adams, una donna forte e risoluta che lo aiuta ad ambientarsi con gli altri soldati. La Compagnia ha riaperto una vecchia miniera di trimonite e ha fatto una scoperta epocale: una vecchia astronave in cui potrebbero ancora trovarsi creature aliene sopravvissute.

Una navetta di recupero viene inviata sul pianeta in attesa dei pochissimi superstiti ancora nelle miniere, ma una volta arrivati in superficie, Manning, Decker e gli altri trovano degli alieni ad attenderli. Dopo un durissimo scontro, riescono ad avere la meglio su di loro e a catturare un esemplare vivo. È lì che Decker si rende conto, però, che aver ucciso una regina non è bastato e che riportare un alieno vivo sarebbe un tragico errore, perché nessuna precauzione potrebbe fermare una creatura spinta da un solo pensiero: uccidere Decker e qualsiasi altro essere umano.

What if you could travel back in time 100 years and right the wrongs of the past—would you take the risk? “Sundown: A Time Travel Society Mystery” is a wildly imaginative podcast from Michael Dante DiMartino, the co-creator of the animated classics “Avatar: The Last Airbender” and “The Legend of Korra.” “Sundown” explores the story of a group of teens who go back into the past and uncover secrets about themselves, their families, their town—and America. 17-year-old Darius Hightower (played by Emmy-nominated actor Asante Blackk of “When They See Us”) is just about the only Black person in his small New England town of Norhaven. Adopted by a wealthy white family when he was a baby, Darius has learned to keep his head down and not challenge his family or its history. But when the outspoken Sanaa Starr (played by NAACP Image Award-winner Storm Reid of “Euphoria”) transfers to his high school and starts asking questions, Darius re-examines the truth about his ancestors’ involvement in the town’s most infamous murder. A time capsule from 1920 may hold some clues, but when Norhaven’s most powerful conspire to destroy its contents, it’s up to Darius, Sanaa, and their friends (including “Reservation Dogs” star Devery Jacobs) to investigate what really happened. After a strange incident sends them back 100 years to the scene of the crime, their fact-finding mission becomes life-or-death. Forced to confront their town’s prejudiced past, the teens race against time in order save an innocent man’s life and clear his name. “Sundown” is a sci-fi mystery adventure like you’ve never heard before.
