"'''Dark Matters'''" is an episode of '']'' television show. It was first broadcast on ], ] during the first season.

==Introduction==
A commercial transport vessel on a routine mission is suddenly forced out of ] into a black and starless void, where they discover an abandoned ship &mdash; the ''Slayton'' &mdash; which disappeared ten years ago.

==Opening narration==
<blockquote>"For the crew of the transport vessel ''Nestor'', their moment has come. The eternal night of space has vanished and the night to come will be longer, and darker, than they can possibly imagine."</blockquote>

==Plot==
Trapped in the void, the crew of the ''Nestor'' begin to see strange creatures inside their ship. After scanning the local space they find a huge chunk of dark matter and two spaceships: an alien craft and the derelict ''Slayton''. After moving closer to the alien craft they begin to see more and more alien creatures appear on board their ship. Suspecting that the aliens may have attacked and killed the crew of the ''Slayton'', they panic and begin shooting at them, to no effect. The pilot of the ''Nestor'', Paul Stein, suddenly sees an apparition of his older brother Kevin (one of the crew of the ill-fated ''Slayton''), who explains that they are all dead and disappears.

Commander Manning orders the ''Nestor'' moved away from the alien craft and towards the derelict ''Slayton''. As they get closer, John Owens, captain of the ''Slayton'' appears. He explains that he cannot touch or feel them because he is no longer alive... he is some kind of ghost, trapped forever inside the pocket of space created by the dark matter. If they die here, as he and his crew did, their "essence" or "souls" will be trapped too.

After analyzing the records of the ''Slayton'', they realize that the aliens did not attack. They were attempting to dock with the ''Slayton'' in order to escape. They make contact with the alien "ghosts" and use their plan. The dark matter is made up of high frequency superstring particles which are immensely heavy, add energy and the frequency lowers as does its mass therefore releasing the pocket in space that is holding everyone prisoner. The crew release the "ghosts" and escape themselves by turning the engines of the ''Nestor'' and the ''Slayton'' on the dark matter. Paul confronts Kevin's ghost over an old secret shame and gains confidence from the resolution to trust his own judgement.

==Closing narration==
<blockquote>"Within the human soul reside mysteries dark and deep; about our frailties, our fears, our shame. Today, or a hundred years from now, the darkest matter will still lie in the human heart."</blockquote>

Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
  • To an embedded anchor: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to an embedded anchor on the redirect's target page.
    • An {{anchor|(anchor name)}} or {{visible anchor}} template, a HTML element with id="(anchor name)", or an |id=(anchor name) parameter might be installed at the beginning of a paragraph, in or near a section header or within a table. The anchor might also be an old section header that has been edited and is anchored within or near the new header to prevent broken internal and external links.
    • Even though section headers of the general form ==(Header name)== are themselves a type of anchor, use {{R to section}} instead.
  • With possibilities: This is a redirect from a title that potentially could be expanded into a new article or other type of associated page such as a new template. The topic described by this title may be more detailed than is currently provided on the target page or in a section of that page.
    • When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate.
    • If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}} when appropriate.
    • Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page. To make redirects to this page, use {{R avoided double redirect}}.
    • {{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace.
    • When used on a template redirect, it will automatically populate Category:Template redirects with possibilities.
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
