Ultimate Detective Yasuoka: coming soon to a GOOD END near you.

Hirayama! Hey, Hirayama! Hirayama! Wake up, dammit!

[ Yukio stirs, waking up to the sight of- ]

Yasuoka! How the hell did you get here!?

Heh! You went missing for quite a while so I went out and found you. It's not that hard to figure out.

... Yasuoka, we're in space.

Yeah? Well I sure as hell couldn't find you on earth anywhere.

You can't seriously mean that-

Forget about it. Look at this thing.

[ Yasuoka points at a lovely view of... The black hole! The ship's getting closer to it by the second! But wait, are they in- ]

The control room!? How the fuck did you manage to get both of us here!? What about everyone else!? And that hole! We haven't been able to get away from it and the ship was falling apart! We'll all die again! I-

Calm down! I wouldn't be much of a detective if I couldn't even find my own partner, first off. Second off, you were completely out and you weigh next to nothing. Third, did you hit your head or something when you fell asleep in that hallway? Everyone's where you left them, as far as I know.

What about the hole!? I don't want to die again! And I don't want you to die!

[ And Yasuoka laughs knowingly: ] That's why I told you to take a look at that thing. This is the last time you'll ever have to see it.

But it's gonna reset the entire ship and we'll all-

We're getting away from it. Now are you gonna help me with this thing or not?

[ Yukio pushes himself to his feet and joins Yasuoka. Of course because this is a dream, all of the controls make perfect sense and somehow two guys from the 1960s know exactly how to work a spaceship. ]

I know you're more into raw math than appraisal, but you know more about this ship than I do. How much do you think something like this would sell for?

Where we're from? More than anyone could possibly pay. It'd be one of - if not the- most valuable things on the planet! Speaking of which...

Hmm?

Did you know that there was an insanely rich old man trying to murder me earlier?

Sure do.

... Did you do anything about it?

I sent that crazy lookalike of yours after him. He'll never know the difference.

the only not depressing one, save me yasuoka
