In the command area, Kara presents Koenig and Bergman to Neman, the ship's commander. (Unknown to them, he is the spitting image of the painting depicting the Survivors' god.) Koenig insists the Darians locate his missing people immediately. Leading them along a mile-long gantry suspended above massive mechanical structures, Neman drolly demonstrates the vastness of this ship and the absurdity of Koenig's demand. He informs them the "Daria" is a generation ship, preserving the life and skills of the Darian race after the destruction of their home planet—"à la" Earth's own Noah's Ark. The ship's drive is still functioning; in one hundred years, they will arrive at a new world. Neman invites the Alphans to join them and share the future that awaits them.
