After teasing their presence for most of season 2, Ark One’s crew meets the sinister Eastern Federation in a sneak peek of the next episode of Syfy’s The Ark.

In the video, Captain Sharon Garnet (Christie Burke) confronts an Eastern Federation captain named Zed Avega (Daniel Fathers). Avega demands that Garnet hand over Bojan (Vasilije Batricevic), the brother of Eva (Tiana Upcheva), who stole a shuttle from the Eastern Federation. When Garnet informs the Eastern Federation about Bojan’s death, Avega demands Eva be sent to his ship to confirm her brother’s death and return the stolen shuttle. Avega will destroy Garnet and her ship if she denies his request.

Christopher Nolan has spent his career embracing cutting-edge filmmaking technology while resisting one of the most common gadgets on the planet: the smartphone. The Oscar-winning director behind Oppenheimer, Inception, and the upcoming The Odyssey says his decision isn't about rejecting technology altogether. It's about protecting something he believes has become increasingly rare - time to think.
