Meanwhile, fearing the situation is escalating in an extremely dangerous way, Booth attempts to escape alone in the Palomino. Just as the process begins, Holland, V.I.N.CENT, and B.O.B. Reinhardt takes Kate prisoner, ordering his sentry robots to take her to the ship's hospital bay to be lobotomized. Appalled, Durant tries to flee the bridge with Kate, but Maximilian kills him. When Kate tells Durant, he removes the reflective faceplate from a "drone" to reveal the monstrous face of a crew member. Using telepathic communication, V.I.N.CENT tells Kate the truth about what happened. McCrae's father had led the mutiny and was killed. explains that the faceless drones are actually the human crew, who mutinied when Reinhardt refused to return to Earth and had been lobotomized and "reprogrammed" by Reinhardt to serve him.

The rest of the Palomino crew became suspicious of the faceless drones' human-like behavior: Booth sees a robot limping and Holland witnesses a robot funeral and discovers the Cygnus crew's personal items in the ship's living quarters. Durant believes that it is possible and asks to accompany Reinhardt on the trip. Reinhardt then reveals that he has spent the past twenty years studying the black hole and intends to fly the Cygnus through it. After the ship encountered a meteor field and was disabled, he ordered the human crew to return to Earth, but Kate's father chose to remain aboard and has since died.

Aided by a crew of faceless, black-robed android drones and his sinister-looking robot named Maximilian, Reinhardt explains that he has lived all alone on the Cygnus for years. The Palomino crew carefully boards the Cygnus and soon encounters the ship's commander, Dr. The Palomino becomes damaged when it drifts away from the Cygnus and into the black hole's intense gravity field, but the ship manages to move back to the Cygnus and finds itself able to dock to what initially appears to be an abandoned vessel.

The crew consists of Captain Dan Holland, First Officer Lieutenant Charlie Pizer, Harry Booth, Dr. Nearing the end of a long mission exploring deep space, the spacecraft USS Palomino returns to Earth. He has converted many of his crew on his ship into robotic slaves.
