Here comes the sun. SEASON 2 DESCRIPTION: After their voyage of exploration goes awry, the crew of the Ship find themselves adrift in an unfamiliar realm where everything they know is called into question. With their beliefs, their bonds, and their lives at stake, they must decide how much they’re willing to sacrifice to find a way home. UNEND SERIES DESCRIPTION Several decades after the events of MIDST and Moonward, a supernatural ship and a remarkable crew set forth on an expedition to explore the highest heights, deepest depths, and furthest reaches of the known cosmos. But their journey is fraught with peril as they discover truths and realities far stranger than any of them could ever have imagined.

1:39.5	And with great immediacy, the hangar door seamlessly walls, with solid dark mica sealing the ship against any intrusion, like a healing wound.
