Part 4/8:
After an unforeseen delay, Icarus II intercepts a distress signal from Icarus I, igniting debates among the crew about whether they should deviate from their original mission to investigate the abandoned ship. Tensions rise between Capa, who advocates seizing the chance for additional resources, and Mace, who emphasizes the risk of jeopardizing their primary mission to reignite the Sun. Capa ultimately decides to proceed, believing they could potentially salvage an additional bomb—crucial to their success.
However, in a careless moment, Trey fails to realign the shields of the ship, causing critical damage that compromises their oxygen reserves, a consequence that plagues the crew throughout the film.
