Plot A damaged spaceship drifts with its crew of six in stasis. As the ship's life support system gradually fails, the crew wake up one by one. The first, a man (Marc Bendavid), makes his way to the bridge but has no idea how to fix the situation. He is soon attacked by the second to awaken, a woman (Melissa O'Neil), because he is in her way; she uses a console to bring life support back to normal function. Another man (Anthony Lemke) joins them and demands at gunpoint to know who they are; neither of them know. As the others awaken - two more men (Alex Mallari Jr., Roger Cross) come fourth and sixth, while the fifth is a teenage girl (Jodelle Ferland) - the crew find that not one of them has any memory of their past. The group adopt provisional names, One through Six, in order of their awakening. They find that the ship is carrying a wide variety of guns. They split into pairs to explore the ship. One and Four discover the training room, where Four demonstrates skill with swords, while Three and Six discover the ship's android (Zoie Palmer) in stasis. On the bridge, Two and Five discover a security protocol in effect and learn that Three and Six are under attack by the Android. Two sends One and Four to assist them; after a brief battle the Android is deactivated by Two, who wipes her protocols.
