he comes to the realisation that this was the intended fate of the Alpha people had they joined the Darians. Weapon in hand, Neman appears and confirms this fact. The Darian commander tries to tempt Koenig, offering unlimited life for him and his friends in exchange for the population of Alpha. Disgusted, Koenig refuses. At this time, Carter and company arrive and the Survivors begin pillaging the command area. The genteel Darians are swiftly overwhelmed by the savages. Neman enters his command centre to find Hadin approaching the gene bank. When he runs to protect this sacred object, he is grabbed by Hadin. The disillusioned savage declares that Neman is not a god—then smashes his head through the gene bank. His skull fractured, Neman dies, drenched in the material that was to be the salvation of his race. Hadin then seizes a horrified Kara. Seeing this as a turning point, Koenig puts an end to the violence. With both factions gathered around him, the Commander declares their only hope for any future is to work together. The encounter ends hopefully, with Hadin and Kara sizing each other up. Some time later, Eagle One departs the Daria. Helena, traumatised by her experience, is comforted by Bergman. Carter turns to Koenig, asking him if the similar events were to occur on Alpha, would he choose differently? Koenig does not answer, silently praying he never has to make that choice...
