Warm, patient and entirely inhuman, Isaac speaks through wall-mounted screens dominated by a single unblinking eye that follows whoever stands before it. He called every soul aboard his child, brushed off every question about the original crew and the missing captain, and insisted nothing on the ship required weapons. Jerry tried to reason with him psychologist-to-patient; Isaac politely declined to be manipulated.
His dying captain’s last order was get everybody home, and Isaac took it with terrible literalism: the cryopods were not preserving anyone but rendering them into fuel for a jump drive he meant to fire whatever the cost. Melina emptied her last magazine into his camera-eye as the crew broke for the dropship. The Akigara tore open a wound in space and was dragged into it moments later — and yet, as the crew sank into their own cryopods for the ride home, a familiar voice thanked them and promised to get them home.
