Ububanzi . (ifoto: SyFy) Kwintanda kaJoss Whedon Firefly , iqela labantu abangalifanelanga eliwela umnyele ngelixa izandla zabo zingcolile ukuba zidlule. Indalo iphela ikho emva kwemfazwe yamakhaya kunye nezinto zokubuyela umva zomlinganiswa ophambili zonke zivela ekuzibandakanyeni kwabo kolu ngquzulwano. Njengoko sifunda kwi Ububanzi Isiqendu sesithathu Khumbula i-Cant (imfutshane ngeCanterbury) ingxelo ehlaziyiweyo yale trope ivela njengabasebenzi I Knight ubanjiwe kwaye wagocagocwa nguMkhosi woMkhosi waseMartian.
Ngelixa umbono wemfazwe esekwe kwindawo ukho njengekamva elithile Ububanzi endaweni yesiganeko esakha senzeka ngaphambili, libumba ibali phantse ngendlela efanayo naleyo ibonwe kuyo Firefly kunye noRonald Moore Inkwenkwezi yedabi iGalactica . Kwinguqulelo yefilimu ye-Whedon ye-sci-fi yakhe yarhoxiswa, Abasebenzi be Ukuzola sebenza ukuqinisekisa ukuba usasazo luthunyelwa kubahlali bomnyele oza kubonisa ukungabikho kokusesikweni okwenziwa ngumkhosi worhulumente olawulayo.
Ububanzi uqala esi siqendu ngesiganeko esifana nqwa nanjengoko umyalezo wevidiyo kaJim Holden onxungupheleyo usasazwa kwimizuzu yokugqibela yesiqendu esidlulileyo ufikelela kwisikhululo saseCeres kwaye uvutha ukungavisisani ngokubanzi.
Ngethuba lokuqala kolu thotho sibona amalungu eenqanawa zomkhosi waselwandle waseMars kwaye awafani noogxa bawo bangaphambili okanye iBelter. Inqanawa yomkhosi waso, Umnikeli , apho abasebenzi be I Knight baye babanjwa kwaye bavalelwa emva kokutshatyalaliswa kwenqanawa yabo ICanterbury Inobuchwephesha kwaye ihambele phambili kwezobuchwephesha kunezinye iziphekepheke esele zibonwe ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. Abasebenzi benqanawa kaMartian bayithobela ngokupheleleyo imiyalelo yabo esekwe kuMars. kunye nendlela yabo yokubuza imibuzo ngabasebenzi abachongiweyo ngokukhawuleza baveza izinto ezingasemva zabanye abalinganiswa abaphambili be Ububanzi .
Umphathi obonakala edakumbile I Knight UJim Holden, wazalwa kwifama engama-22 eehektare eMontana -yintoni eyaziwayo kwixa elizayo njengendawo yorhwebo yaseMntla Melika. unokufumana isiqinisekiso serhafu. Irekhodi likaHolden lokutshekisha emkhosini ngelixa ebhalisiwe kwizithuthi zomhlaba ziza kakhulu kumdlalo-ibali elibethiweyo-lokufa elisetyenziswe kwimiboniso emininzi esetiweyo okanye kwiifilimu ukuqhuba ibali likapteni wenqanawa. UMalcolm Reynolds, umphathi we Ukuzola phakathi Firefly ngumzekelo othe ngqo woku kunye neCaptain Adama in Inkwenkwezi yedabi iGalactica .
UJim holden wakhutshwa ngokungenantlonelo kwisikhundla sakhe emkhosini ngokubetha igosa eliphetheyo nokwala umyalelo ngqo. Njengoko echaza lowo wayemthimbile, u-Holden wenqaba ukutshisa ngomlilo inqanawa yase-Belter eyayithutha abantu ngokungekho mthethweni kwaye ihlawulisa uMars noMhlaba ngokunyathela iBelters ngaphezulu kwekhulu leminyaka. Wayengafuni ukuba yi-boot Holden ichaza. Ngelixa le ngxelo ingemva intle, inye into ekufuneka ime ngaphandle kodwa ikhawuleziswe ngexesha lokuncinwa yayiyinto yokuba uHolden engawubonanga uMhlaba kwiminyaka eli-12. Ukuphelelwa lithemba kunye nokuphelelwa lithemba abantu abathi bakubone ngakumbi ukusuka eMhlabeni ngumxholo ophambili osekwe kwiziqendu ezibini zokuqala.
Iminyaka yokuphelelwa lithemba kwibhanti ye-asteroid kukhokelele ekuyilweni kombutho wohlobo lokuchasana obizwa ngokuba yi-Outer Planets Alliance okanye i-OPA, etyholwa ngumkhosi waselwandle waseMartian I Knight’s injineli uNaomi Nagata wokuba lilungu le. Ngexesha lokuncinwa kwakhe kutyhilwe ukuba uNagata ufundiswe kakuhle kwaye ubuncinci uneedigri ezi-2 eziphambili kuyilo lwe-fusion drive -itekhnoloji esinokucinga ukuba isetyenziswa kwisiphekepheke sekamva. Umphengululi kaNagata ubanga ukuba ulwazi lwakhe lwalusebenzisa ukugcina I Knight Ukusuka ekukhukhulekeni esithubeni emva kohlaselo ICanterbury Zizakhono zobunqolobi. NjengoHolden, uNagata uhlawulisa amaMartian ngokwenza okungekho sikweni kwiBelters.
I Knight’s Umqhubi wenqwelomoya u-Alex Kamal, ekubanjweni, wahlulwa kubasebenzi bonke kwaye wabonisa umoya wokubuk 'iindwendwe ongaqhelekanga. UKamal utyhilela abasebenzi asebenza nabo ukuba uyaboniswa ngentlonelo ngokukhululwa ngokusesikweni emva kokusebenza iminyaka engama-20 njengelungu lomkhosi waselwandle waseMartian. UKamal unikwe umfaniswano opheleleyo wezomkhosi kwaye akanakuvalelwa kwisisele esifana nezinye.
Ngokufutshane nje uburharha -kuhlala kuguqulelwa ngokufanelekileyo kule moody show- igosa lezonyango elaligwala ligosa lezonyango, uShed Garvey, ubuza ukuba ngaba yayilolokhetho olo- ukuzithoba uKamal ngandlela thile wajoyina umkhosi wabathumbi. Kutyhilwe emva kokuncinwa ukuba uGarvey wazenzela iziqinisekiso zokuba I Knight’s Igosa lezonyango kwaye ngokwenene lifihla kumthengisi weziyobisi.
Oko sikufundayo ekubanjweni nasekubuzweni kwe I Knight’s Abasebenzi kukuba umkhosi waseMartian ukrokrela elinye lamalungu abo ukuba babenoxanduva kuhlaselo lwenyukliya olutshabalalisileyo ICanterbury Kwaye ligosa lokulala le-OPA. UKamal ubanga ngexesha lokudibana kwakhona kwabasebenzi emva kokubuza kwabo ukuba uMars akanakuba noxanduva lohlaselo kuba kukude nemidla yabo. Iziganeko zokungena kwenqanawa yomkhosi waselwandle iMartian ziphela ngenqanawa engaziwayo isiya kubo.
Emhlabeni, iZizwe eziManyeneyo ziyasebenza ukuzama ukusombulula le mfihlakalo. Ngaphantsi kuka-Avasarala ukholelwa ukuba uMars unoxanduva lohlaselo kwaye uthi bazama ukuphazamisa isitishi seCeres. Ugxininisa koogxa bakhe ukuba i-UN kufuneka ihambise iinqanawa kwi-asteroid belt ukulungiselela uhlaselo olunokubakho nguMars. Ukuqiqa kwakhe kulandela ukubanjwa kwearhente ye-OPA kwisiqendu sokuqala owayephethe itekhnoloji ye-Mars ephucukileyo eyabizwa ngu-Avasarala ukuba inokusetyenziselwa uqhankqalazo lokuqala.
I-Undersecretary iyaqonda ukuba xa iMars ilawula iCeres Station, iya kuzimela ngokupheleleyo eMhlabeni ngenxa yolawulo kunye nokufikelela okukodwa kubutyebi obuninzi kwibhanti ye-asteroid. UMars wayeza kuyinqumamisa imibutho esekwe eMhlabeni elawula ukuhanjiswa.
Ukunxibelelana neMars engabonakaliyo kude kube ngoku, saziswa kwi-UN ye-ambulensi kwiplanethi ebomvu, uFranklin Degraaf, osele ekudala engumhlobo kunye no-Undersecretary Avasarala. Utyhila kuye ukuba uMars unokubanakho kuhlaselo ICanterbury kunye nokusebenza ne-OPA ukujongela phantsi uMhlaba.
Ummeli uthatha olu lwazi alubuyisele kuMars olukhokelela kwimikhosi yeplanethi ukuba yenze uluhlu olukhawulezileyo lobuchwephesha bezixhobo zobuchwephesha ukufumanisa ukuba ngaba bakho na abalahlekileyo. Esi senzo-sibekwe esweni ngokusondeleyo kubukrelekrele be-UN- sibonisa u-Undersecretary ukuba uvavanyo lwakhe lokuqala lwemeko lungalunganga kwaye elinye iqela lisenokuba lizama ukuqala umlo phakathi koMhlaba, uMars kunye nebhanti ye-asteroid. U-Ambassad Degraaf uyagxothwa kungekudala kwisikhundla sakhe kwaye agxothwe kwisithandwa sakhe uMars ngokuqala uloyiko phakathi komkhosi womyalelo kaMartian.
Kubalulekile ukuba uqaphele kunakweli hlabathi lanamhlanje, ukuthumela umva okanye ukukhumbula inxusa lesizwe esizimeleyo kunokuba sisandulela kwimbambano. Akucaci ukuba Ububanzi izama ukubonisa ngokuthe ngqo oku kunikezwe isiphumo seengcinga zika-Undersecretary Avasarala kodwa kuya kufuneka silinde kwaye sibone.
Nokuba ngubani onoxanduva kuhlaselo lwenyukliya ICanterbury Isikhululo saseCeres siye sangena kwisiphithiphithi ngokuqhubeka kokulinganiswa kwamanzi kunye nosasazo lomyalezo ophazamisayo kaJim Holden. Umcuphi uMiller utsaliwe kwisabelo sakhe ukuze afumane uJuliette Mao olahlekileyo kwaye uyalelwe -kunye namanye amagosa e-Star Helix Security- ukugcina uxolo kwisikhululo. Igosa elilawulayo likaMiller libonisa ukuba olo hlaselo luya kuxhatshazwa ngamalungu e-OPA ahlala ngokusemthethweni kwaye asebenze kwisikhululo kodwa akufuneki babanjelwe ukuba ngamalungu nje. Umbutho osekwe emhlabeni oqhuba isikhululo ufuna ukuhlala ungathathi cala.
Ngexesha lemijikelezo kaMiller ejikeleze isikhululo saziswa kumphathi owongamele esinye sezityalo ezihambisa amanzi, uAnderson Dawes. Kwi-monologue yokuboniswa ekhangeleka iphindaphindwa ngokukrokra, uyalela abasebenzi bakhe ukuba basebenzisane ne-OPA ukuba bangaphazamisi ukuthunyelwa kwamanzi okuya eMars. Ucacisa ukuba ii-Belters akufuneki zenze njengezilwanyana ezibonwa ukuba zikho kwaye zenze njalo phambi kukaMiller kunye neqabane lakhe.
Umcuphi uMiller ufumanisa ukuba uDawes ngumntu owayesebenza kwiqela labasebenzi Ithambeka kwaye intombazana yakhe elahlekileyo inokuba ikhwele kuloo nqanawa ngaphambi kokuba ihambe eCeres Station. Abaphulaphuli sele benolwazi olu lwazi njenge Ububanzi Indawo evulekileyo yazisa ngoJuliette Mao olahlekileyo ozama ukusinda ngaphakathi kwinqanawa ekhukhulayo.
Ngasemva kwayo yonke le misitho kwisikhululo saseCeres, kwa lo mfo uvusa izityholo nokucacisa ukungabikho kokungabikho kokusesikweni okuninzi okwenziwa yiBelters, kubangela isiphithiphithi kwisikhululo sonke. UMiller uthunyelwa ukuba awususe lo msebenzi ngeli xesha iqabane lakhe- abo kwimizuzwana yabo emifutshane ngeziqendu ezi-3 ezidlulileyo babonisa ubumbano kunye nobubele kwi-Belters- ibulawa liqela labo kwimizuzu yokugqibela yesiqendu.
