Parcă m-am trezit aici. + În cameră, chiar acum? + Uh... era ca un scaun, cu o cască? + Serios? Cum te numești? + Sunt Simon Jarrett. + Și ce faci tu... ah, semnalul este -- naiba, releele. Unde ești acum? + Un loc care are legătură cu energia electrică, nu sunt sigur dacă e o centrală sau un transformator... + Da, probabil ești undeva în centrala termică. + Trebuie să mergi sus, la centrul de comunicații. E camera cu tavanul în formă de cupolă. + Hei, ascultă, locul ăsta nu e... e ceva foarte grav în neregulă aici. Alo? + Îmi pare rău, n-am auzit, am pierdut din nou un releu. Ascultă, mergi la centrul de comunicații de sus. Te aștept aici. + Cine e acolo? + Hei, te aud mișcându-te. + Aș putea folosi puțin ajutor. + Ce faceți, oameni buni? + Ce ești tu? + Ești orb? Sunt eu, Carl. Carl Semken. Wrangler? Îți sună cunoscut? + Eu -- nu, de fapt. + Ei bine, mulțumesc că ești atât de util. Nu e ca și cum aș fi leșinat pe podea sau ceva. + Ai activat turbinele de rezervă finale? + Totul este conectat uniform -- am luat toate măsurile de siguranță posibile. + Așadar, asta e. Suficientă energie pentru a susține Pathos-II până la următorul apocalips. Suntem gata de plecare. + Sper din tot sufletul să nu fi greșit nimic. Nu vreau să mă întorc aici niciodată. + Relaxează-te, s-a terminat. Mergem la Theta. + Poate ar trebui să sigilăm mai multe blocuri. Nu am încredere că ajutoarele vor lăsa locul ăsta să funcționeze în pace. + Am sigilat tot -- de la barăci până la centrul de comunicații.

Simon Jarrett. + Salut, Simon, eu sunt Catherine. Ai reușit să înțelegi ce se întâmplă? + Eu? Speram că tu ai niște răspunsuri. + Probabil am câteva. Ce vrei să știi? + De unde să încep? Adică... ce este locul acesta? Cum am ajuns aici? Și de ce vorbesc roboții ca și cum ar fi oameni? + Ei bine, ești la Upsilon, evident. N-ai mai fost aici înainte? Unde lucrai? + La Grimoire, în Toronto. Este chiar atât de important? + Nu, adică unde lucrai la Pathos-II? + Nu știu ce e asta! + Asta e neașteptat... Ai venit direct din Toronto? + Da, am venit. Și a fost foarte neașteptat. + Ai văzut vreun om? Cum ar fi personalul sau tehnicieni de teren? + Doar roboți. Nebuni. + Ce-a fost asta? -- Woah! + Ce se întâmplă? + Cred că locul ăsta e pe cale să se prăbușească. Ce să fac!? + Hei, ești acolo? Am găsit plafonul în formă de cupolă. + Simon, vino la Lambda! + Cum ajung acolo?! + Sunt trenuri navetă care conectează toate siturile -- găsește unul și vino aici!

Încerc din greu să rămân un mister. Da, sunt om. Tu ești? + Mă numesc Simon. Știi ceva despre locul acesta? + Oh, ești nou? Asta face situația puțin mai puțin ciudată. Uite, sunt evident rănit. Dacă vezi pe cineva prin apropiere, spune-le unde sunt. + Deci, unde ești exact? + Vorbești serios? Sunt chiar aici. Mă vezi făcând cu mâna? Uită-te la mâinile mele. Hei, prietene. + Bine, bine! Doar că... nu văd asta. Văd o mașină, un robot care vorbește. + Ce naiba te uiți la -- sunt aici. Vezi? + Um, okay... Doar că nu mă așteptam să arăți așa. + Chiar ești fixat pe aparențe, știi asta? + Dacă vezi pe alții, spune-le unde sunt. + Chiar mă doare.

Dar sunt... sunt destul de sigur că l-am ucis din greșeală când am oprit curentul. + Ei bine. Roboții nu simt nimic, așa că, da. + În afară de unul. Eu... l-am ucis. Nu am vrut, chiar nu am vrut. + Ei bine, ok. Ei bine, uh... încearcă să nu faci asta pe viitor. Chiar dacă este doar un robot, ar putea fi util. + În afară de unul. Cred că era în durere. Nu sunt sigur ce să fac. + A spus că îl durea? + Cam așa. Nu știu. + Totul este atât de ciudat. + Și tu îmi spui mie. + Căcat căcat căcat. Unde ar trebui să...? Ce ar trebui să...? Oh, naibii! + Jonsy. Cum merg evacuările? + Avem tot ce ne trebuie pentru a pleca, dar nu putem părăsi fabrica fără supraveghere. + Adams a decis să lase pe Amy Azzaro și Carl Semken să execute procesul de automatizare. + Și sunt sigur că sunt încântați de asta. + Vreau doar să-ți spun că suntem în grafic și o să vorbim mâine. + Bine, o să-i transmit lui Wolchezk. + Jonsy. O dimineață frumoasă pentru o evacuare, nu-i așa? + O să fie bine. Vroiam să te prezint lui Amy și Carl. Ei vor vorbi imediat ce plec eu spre Theta. Salută-i. + Hei, Theta! + Bună! + Hei, băieți, sunt Peter Strasky, dispecer la Theta. Spuneți-mi dacă pot face ceva pentru a ajuta. + Cred că asta e tot. Ne vedem curând. Când ajungem. + Bine, Jonsy. Drum bun. + Hei... bună... Theta? + Upsilon. Ce-i, bă? + Am avea mare nevoie de contact direct cu Heather... adică cu inginerul de service al site-ului, Wolchezk. + Legăturile directe sunt aproape imposibil de stabilit. Releele LUMAR sunt practic inutile acum. Puteți trimite mesaje prin centrul de comunicații și dacă vreți, sunt aproape mereu aici - gata să transmit orice manual. Știu că este un sistem de rahat, dar e tot ce funcționează acum. + Bine, trebuie să ne descurcăm cu ce avem. Ne vedem mai târziu. + Bună... Peter, nu? + Sunt aici. Ce-i, bă? + Plecare! Vroiam doar să-ți spun că acum o să sigilez centrul de comunicații, așa că asta va fi ultima dată când auzi de la noi. Dacă nu apărem în următoarele câteva ore, trimite cavaleria. + Stai așa, ce se întâmplă? Tot planul ăla rămâne, nu? + Da, o să mergem spre naveta și o să o luăm direct spre Theta. + Ok, bine. O să adun trupele pentru o petrecere de bun venit. + Asta-mi place să aud. + Nu, nu o face. + Cum te-ai rănit? + Nu sunt sigur. M-am făcut praf destul de rău. Nu-mi amintesc cum am ajuns aici. + Ce îți amintești atunci? + Eram în scaunul pilotului, controlând un AH-- + AH? + Un ajutor universal. Știi, un robot, ca aceste lucruri, dar mai viu. Oricum, mă ocupam de niște scuturi termice și... Asta e ultima mea amintire clară. + Controlai de la distanță un robot? + Facem asta tot timpul. Roboții sunt prea inconștienți pentru a se ocupa de unele lucruri. Intuiția nu crește pe plăci de bază, știi? + Poate că ai putea fi prins în robot cumva? + Mintea ta este destul de strâns legată de ajutor, dar nu. Destul de departe de realitate. + Ascultă, nu vreau să te sperii, dar cred că ești prins într-un robot. + Îți spun eu, du-te și îți verifici ochii. Sunt chiar aici. Văd amândouă mâinile, amândouă picioarele. Când controlezi de la distanță, tot ce vezi este ca un feed video de la unitatea de ajutor. Corpul tău propriu este complet în afara imaginii. + Du-te și spune-le celorlalți. + Nu mă atinge. + Aduni-l pe Holland. + De ce. + Nu pot. + Nu o face. + Ajutor. + Nu acum. + *plânge* + *plânge* + *plânge* + *plânge* + *plânge* + Am sigilat totul -- totul, de la cazarma până la centrul de comunicații. Dacă cineva pune vreodată piciorul aici din nou, o să aibă o muncă grea să se miște prin-- + Carl! + Fugi. + Dă-te dracului de lângă mine! + Mizeria ta. + Amy, ești tu? Ce s-a întâmplat cu scaunul pilotului? + Doamne, e mort? E mort. + Ce e aia? Ce face? + Hei, mă auzi? + Hei... + Ești acolo... + Bună.... + Ești bine? + Salut? + Mă auzi? + Hei. + Nu, nu am vrut să... + Îmi pare atât de rău. + Trebuia să repar chestia... + + + It's so empty. + Everyone's just gone. + How long has it been? + I feel so drained. + I just miss them so much + How the hell do you get so thirsty?

How is this possible? + Come in Theta? You better answer me, Strasky. Come on! + Amy, where are you? + The fields -- I had to leave. + Is Carl with you? + It all went to hell. + Hold on. You got the power automated, right? The plant is safe? We need that power to keep the sites running-- + Fuck the power! Fuck you, Strasky! The machines killed Carl! + Ah shit. All right, calm down, it'll be okay. Can you get back to Theta? + Yeah, I think so. I'll head for the shuttle, the aux. + Good luck, Amy. Rooting for you. + This isn't... this is insane... + Lambda, find a shuttle to Lambda. + Well, thanks little guy! + + + + Let's hope the shuttles still work. + Welcome to Pathos-II - your expressway to the stars. + What started as a thermal mining operation in the sixties has now become home to the Omega Space Gun, the world's most affordable way to launch satellites and deep space probes. + Our unique Atlantic ocean location allows for this gigantic coil gun, running longer than a Marathon, to safely launch projectiles without risk of damaging the payload with risky combustion. + The station spans multiple sites and has a diverse staff of engineers and scientists. Together they are able to produce, assemble, and launch the world's most sophisticated spacecrafts. + We are now leaving Upsilon for Lambda. Lambda is Pathos-II's shipping dock and transportation hub. There you will be able to find shuttle trains leading to all the other parts of the station and transports to the surface. + We are now leaving Upsilon for Theta. Theta is considered the heart of Pathos-II. It houses station administration, medical facilities, and the Payload Assembly crew -- prepping and programming satellites before they are shipped off to Phi for launch. + We are now leaving Upsilon for Omicron. Omicron is Pathos-II's center for medical research and hydroculture. Omicron is constructed on the edge of the abyss and is, with the Climber, able to study over four kilometers of depth. + Here we go again. + We are now leaving Upsilon for Delta. Delta manufactures and assembles carrier shells for satellites and probes specifically to be used in the Omega Space Gun. Together with Theta they are able to tailor any satellite or payload to our customers' needs. + We are now leaving Upsilon for Phi. Phi is the operating site of the Omega Space Gun. The shuttle tunnel to Tau is still being constructed. This shuttle will stop at Omicron. Please use the Climber at Omicron to reach Tau and then continue to Phi via the access tunnels. + We are now leaving Upsilon for Tau. Tau is a modular research platform for studying deep sea life and human life in extreme conditions. The shuttle tunnel to Tau is still being constructed. This shuttle will stop at Omicron. Please use the Climber at Omicron to reach Tau. + Strasky? Come in Theta. + Amy, are you okay? + What? I can't-- + Where are you now? + Strasky?! I'm at the shuttle -- but it's not looking good. The lights flickers like mad. I think the power regulator is broken. + Forget about the power, just get over here. + I have to fix it. I don't want to get stranded halfway to Theta. + Amy, I can't hear you. Can't you just leg it? + What was that? I can't hear you! Don't worry. I'll fix it. Somehow. + I guess it's a good thing we never had any kids. Hard enough looking my parents in the eyes. + They're going to a bomb shelter upstate, by the way, along with your dad. I'm guessing someone will help him send you a message somehow. I mean, I hope they will. + Hell, I'm not even sure you'll get this message. If you do, I want you to know, I never blamed you for following your dreams. + It just... I was just mad it didn't fit better with what I imagined our lives would be. I really wanted the picket fence, big family, you know? + I guess what I'm trying to say is: I'm proud of you. And even though it's been difficult to be separated from you, I regret nothing. I'm happy... and I really wish I would be able to say this without the sky falling down. + *weak laugh* + I love you, Amy. I always have and always will. + Shit, are you okay? + *Huuurrr...* + Oh, fuck! + All right, I'm in. Keep an eye on the levels. Let me know as soon as it spikes. I want to be able to monitor my condition. + I can feel it already. See if you can stabilize and phase it out. + Gavin? Carl? Someone say something -- you're freaking me out. + Carl?! Get me out. Get me out now! + Aaargh, fucking fuck. Get me out! + It's not working. + Don't feel so good. + Finley. It's bad. + Carl... Carl? + I can't stand up. + Noooo... + It's in really bad shape. + What is that? + What are you? + Get away from me. + What the fuck do you want? + Don't come any closer. + Carl is that you? Help me get the helmet off. + What's making that noise? + Can you hear that? Is that in my head? + That right there, you hear that, Carl? + That fucking noise. + I heard that -- show yourself! + You're still out there. I can hear you! + I can hear you moving. Stop hiding! + I hear every step you take. + Keep it up, every sound makes it easier to find you. + You're so loud, don't you know that?! + I hear you and I'm coming for you. + Carl, I need you to shut it down. + Got to get this helmet off. + *heavy breathing* + Anybody? This is Amy Azzaro. + I'm stuck. + *heavy breathing* + This was a bad idea. + *heavy breathing* + Worse than before. + Just stay calm. + *heavy breathing* + Can't believe this is happening. + It's so fucked up. + I fucked up. + It's your fault. You're doing this. + Show yourself. + Where are you? + Come out. + Make it stop or I'll kill you. + Why are you doing this? + Get out here, you coward! + I have to stop you. + Turn it off! + Make it stop! + Stop it now! + It's your fault! + You're doing this! + Stop it! + Let me be! + It stopped -- it vanished. + It's gone -- that wasn't real? + Where did it go? + The helmet -- it's lying. + It's gone. + It disappeared. + Was it all in my mind? + It's messing with my senses. + What kind of messed up thing are you? + You there! Why are you here?! + Where did you come from? + There you are again. + I see you. + In addition to our principal operation Pathos-II is also the home for multiple research projects within the marine sciences, including hydroculture, turbulence, and deep sea construction. + Simon... Simon? Are you there? + Catherine, is that you? I was on my way, but then the shuttle train... it fucking crashed. + Are you all right? The system says the section is sealed for a suspected hull breach. + No, I'm not all right! What the hell happened to the world? Why are we under water? + Wow, you are really out of place, aren't you? + Look, don't worry about that right now. I realize you're confused, but you're so close to Lambda. If you'd just keep going. + How close? Can I walk there? + Yeah, but the tunnel is locked off to protect the overall structure from collapsing. What you need to find is your section's maintenance hatch. It will lead outside. + Maintenance hatch? No problem. + What is that -- what's going on out there? + I got to go. See you soon, Simon. + *crack* + Catherine? You okay? + Ah fuck, I forgot the omnitool back in the shuttle. + Hey, are you...? + Don't hurt me. + Can I help? + It won't let me die. Nothing is allowed to die. + What happened? + An accident... fixing the power. I was going to Theta. + Are you okay? + I don't know. I want to go home. + Anything I can do? + If you see Masters or Holland, tell them I need help, okay? Amy needs help. + Just hang in there. + I'll do my best. + I'll find someone who can help. + Roger that. + You'll be fine. + Thank you. + They'll patch you right up. + Hope so. + Don't worry, it's going to be all right. + Okay. + You got nothing to worry about. + Okay. + Everything's going to be fine. + Okay. + Oh, shit! + What happened to them? All those people... + Shuttle J6 activated. + Warning! Unreliable power -- proceed with caution. + Standing by. + + + + Are you excited about the ARK? + At first I couldn't really see the point of it, but then I thought why shouldn't we, right? + I mean, if we are able to save even just a small piece of ourselves, why wouldn't we do that? + So you are in favor then? + I think it's really important we do this. + What are your thoughts on the ARK? + It's a great idea. Finally we have something do, am I right? + Are you optimistic about the project's chances of... um, about... the ARK reaching space? + It can definitely be done. You already solved the biggest problem -- how to actually get us all in there. + Now all we have to do is build the damn thing and hope Phi is still operational. + Yeah, I think we can do it, but it's not going to be easy. + What are your thoughts on the ARK project? + The idea is just incredible, by every definition. It really makes you think about what it means to be human. + What makes you say that? + Beyond the basics, beyond the superficial, I'm convinced there's something with even greater value. + You have provided a platform, which is not necessarily restricted to our digital progeny, but a means of actual survival. + It's my sincerest belief that we can go on living through the reality of continuity. + + Catherine? + Be quiet -- don't look at it! + I think it's safe to come out now. + Simon, are you there? I'm hurt. + It's gone -- we should be safe. + I could really use some help. + What are you waiting for -- get over here. + Hello, are you hearing this? I'm over here. + Ah shit. Simon, you idiot. I was really hoping you wouldn't set off another burst. + Are you okay? 'Cause I could use some help. + Ah, dammit! Why did this have to happen now? + Simon? Some help please. + Hello? + Could you hurry up? + No, not you too. I was really hoping you were human. + Don't let the circuitry fool you. I was human once. + Can't take it anymore, this is... everything's fucked. + I give up. There's nothing left. + Calm down. It's not the end of the world. + You sure? It sure as hell looks like it. For all I know there's no one left except for me. + What do you mean? I'm right here. + Don't take this the wrong way, but I meant any humans left except for me. + Have you looked at yourself lately? You're a walking, talking diving suit with some electronics slapped on for good measure. + I... I don't... + You don't want to think about it? Well, start thinking about it. + I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to be this. I want out. + Before you do anything hasty. Could you help me with something? + What? + I was trying to find out what happened with my project when that brute knocked me to the ground. + Your project? How could anything possibly matter when you know you're a stupid robot in a stupid dead world?! + Okay, focus. I need you to fix me, so I can get back to work. Then you can sulk as much as you want. + You got to be kidding, right? I think I have a better chance of building myself a time machine than of putting you back together. + Should be easy enough. Just pick up the chip and slide it into the omnitool. + Why does a robot chip fit a door opener? + It's standardized connec-- + Uh, Catherine? All right, let's give this a try. + When the omnitool has loaded, just plug my cortex chip into the tool. + What's a cortex chip? + It will be obvious. I'll eject it for you. Just grab the chip and slide it into the omnitool. Come on, I just need you to do this one thing for me. + Sure, whatever. + --ectors, pretty much anything will fit. + Oh, this feels weird. + I'm in the omnitool? Thanks. + So... what's the project about? + My project? Oh well, I saved all the people on the station as brain scans and put them into an artificial world. We were going to launch it into space, to save it from... uh, well, all this. + Are you telling me that you were going to launch a computer world, filled with people, into space? + Yes. It was just a pet project at first, but it got really serious after the comet took out the surface. Then suddenly it became very important and it was officially named the ARK. + That's appropriate. How far did you get? + I don't know. That version of me, that I am, it came from a scan I did pretty early on. The living Catherine could very well have finished the project and launched it. I guess she could even still be alive. Weird thought. + So the talking robots, are they also scans you did? + They could be, but I doubt it. I'd expect much more sense if that was the case. Ah, all right. Finally. + What's happening? + I managed to restore some data from the back-up server. This should tell us everything we need. + Oh... could you do me a favor and run into the other room and have a look? I don't seem to be able to view the files in this condition. I need to know that the ARK is safe. + Sure, Cath. + Thanks. I'll unlock the door for you. + What was it you said before -- you're from Toronto? + Yeah, I just went in for a brain scan and suddenly -- here I am. + That's doesn't make any sense. How... why would anyone bring a scan from Toronto? + You think that's strange? What if I tell you it was back in 2015? + Woah. + Can't make any sense of it. + Did you say something? + Sorry, still trying to figure out how you got here. + Keep at it. I'd really like to know who thought sending a Canadian to the bottom of the sea was a good idea. + What happened before? That creature was strangely... overbearing. + Yeah, it basically exploded with electromagnetism. + That's bad for us, right? + Confusing, at least. Gives the senses a good punch. + What happened to the tower? And the dock, and the welcome center? + What tower? What are you talking about? + This place is in ruins. All the cameras show static. It's... it's so strange. + Catherine? + What? + Nothing. Never mind. + See if you can find out where the ARK is. + I found it. It's at a site named Tau. + Oh, no. It's on earth! And so close to Phi -- they almost made it. + Dammit. It won't make it for long in that state -- a couple of decades at most. That's not much to build a future. + If we got to it. Could we get on the ARK? + I suppose, but I'm not exactly flexible at the moment. + I'll take us there. I can move, jump, swim -- sort of. You're stuck in the door opener -- the omnitool. I'll just carry you there and you'll show me what to do. + That's sounds really risky -- besides I don't like the idea of you carrying me around. + Come on, Catherine. This is what you wanted to do. Your final mission. Let's launch the ARK! + We would need to find a way to get into the abyss -- can't take the climber without a Power Suit. + We'd probably have to go to Theta and pray the DUNBAT's still working. + Ok, so we go to Theta. + I don't know, it's pretty far. + Catherine, look around. What else is there to do? + Simon, right here. + Hey, down here. + I'm right next to you + Huh, what...? What is this... CURIE Emergency Vessel 4? + Hey, Simon, can you hear me? + I hear you. Can you get this thing running? + Hang on, I'll give it a try. + Sorry, it's dead. + Worth a shot. + This EV came from CURIE. It was a ship that used to make runs between Lambda and Lisbon. Looks like the wreck is close. Maybe you can find a vessel like this one inside? + Sounds like a plan. + I'll just save the security information and update the omnitool. There -- should help you get around. + Great. + Just plug it into the terminal. + The terminal, right there. + Simon, put the omnitool into the terminal. + It's not a difficult concept. Plug it in already! + Are you... should I be worried? Plug in the omnitool! + Ok. Simon. You know that tool you're carrying. It will fit perfectly in the terminal right over there. + There must be a way to find out where the ARK is. + Can you find the ARK? + Simon. I think it's back. Be careful. Don't know if you can take another hit. + Careful. I think it's back. Keep your eyes peeled. + I found a tracker homed in on the ARK. + Oh, that's clever. I wonder if I thought of that. Does it still work? I really need to know what happened to it. + I think so -- it's doing something at least. + Where is it? + Hold on, I'm trying to find it. + Please, let it be safe. + You, stay out! This is important. No! + Aarhh! + My head, it's killing me. + The thirst - it never ends. + Fuck! + Nothing here. Nothing anywhere. + I need the blood. + It's the same. Every day, every damn hour. + Where did everyone go? + Fucking idiots. + Shouldn't have trusted them. + Liars, all of them. + It's still burning my eyes. + Can't get out. + They left us to rot. + The black blood of the WAU. + I can find my way there. + Can't be reversed, now can it? + The black blood in my veins will save me. + There's no other way. + I need to find more. + I need more fuel. + Are you ready? + You ready for this? + Let's do this. + Show me what you got. + Come on, tough guy. + Time to bleed. + Cut you open, let that blood out. + Need to let some of that black blood out. + Give me the fuel. + Cut yourself. + Cut yourself open. + You're not going anywhere. + Get over here. + Come here. + Let's go. + Don't even try to get away. + This is happening. + No way out. + You can't escape me. + Finally. I've waited for this. + Where the fuck did it go? + I lost it? No, it can't be! + Come back, you coward! + Don't leave! You must bleed! + No, it got away? Goddamn you! + You fucking pussy! Come back! + You're trying to hide from me? + Better find a good hiding spot - I'm coming for you. + I'll find you. + You seriously going to make me look for you? + I'll find whatever hole you're hiding in. + I will find you and I will kill you. + I found you. + I see you. + Oh, here we go. + Found you. + Gotcha. + There you are. + Get over here! + I'll tear you apart! + Pray for your life, you little shit! + It's over for you! + Take it. Cry like a bitch! + Time to die! + There's nowhere to run! + Death is all that's left! + Give me the fuel! + Bleed for me! + You're shit out of luck! + I want you to suffer! + Suffer the pain! + You won't get away! + This is where you die! + You got nothing, nothing! + Bleed the black blood! + This ends here! + Die! + There you are. + Let's do this. + Ready or not, here I come. + This is going to be fun. + I'm going to fuck you up. + Here we go. + I have ears, you know? + I hear every step, buddy. + I can hear you. Stop hiding! + I heard that - show yourself. + You're so loud. + Is that you making all that noise? + I hear you, you know. + I can hear, I can smell you. + What's making that noise? + Show yourself! + What is that? + Anyone there? + What's going on? + Hey, who is it? + There's really no way around this -- a freaking comet killed the planet. + Afraid so. + You were all stranded down here. + And we were the lucky ones. + What are you doing? Be careful. + All right, let's do this. Come pick me up. + Don't forget to take me along -- the omnitool. + Where did you go? I'm waiting. + There you are. Upright and everything. + That brute really doesn't play nice with electronics. + Hello? I'm right here. + No! + All right, time for plan B. What's plan B? + Oh, the omnitool! The tool you inserted into the terminal. + Oh, yeah. The door opener. + Yeah. You can pull my cortex chip and put it into the omnitool. + What's a cortex chip? + It will be obvious. I'll eject it for you. Just grab the chip and slide it into the omnitool. Come on, I just need you to do this one thing for me. + Yeah, all right. + I just need to access the computer. Oh, is that an omnitool you're carrying? + Oh, the door opener? I picked it up at Upsilon -- where I woke up. + That will have to do. Plug it into the terminal. + Sure, whatever. + Oh, you found an omnitool. Very handy. + You really need to stop drawing attention to yourself. + You know what, I found a sunken vessel just outside. Bet that could take us to Theta. + Really? + Didn't look completely out of action. It even lit up a little when I tried the omnitool on it. + Okay then, let's have a look. I'll just eject from this thing. Don't forget to take me with you. + Maybe there's still a working shuttle train that can take us to Theta. + I doubt it. + Just have a look around. Push comes to shove, I'll walk there. + Okay then. I'll just eject from this thing. Don't forget to take me with you. + I won't forget. + Can I pull the omnitool out? + Wait, wait, wait... okay, just be sure to plug me in again at some point. + You got it. + Good luck, Simon. + Is this from inside the ARK? + Yes, that's some early renders of the world inside. + Looks a whole lot comfier than this place. + The omnitool is ready now. + Thanks. + Check the computer in the other room. + There must be something on the computer that can tell us what happened to the ARK. + I told you, go check the computer in the other room. + Come on, the computer must be able to tell us what happened to the ARK. + You said you found a tracking tool. Give it a go. + Come on, use the tracking tool to find the ARK. + I guess this is the ship Catherine was talking about. + Let's hope it still has a working escape vessel we can use. + This must be Lambda -- where Catherine is. + Guess I should pick up the chip Catherine mentioned. + I need to find the chip Catherine was talking about and plug it into the omnitool. + Catherine has ejected the cortex chip from the robot she inhabited. I should move it to the omnitool. + I should really try to get Catherine back. + Let's plug the chip I got into the omnitool. + I should insert the chip I pulled from the robot into the omnitool, so I can get some answers out of Catherine. + Just check the computer? + Yes, look for anything about the ARK. + Ah, shit. I need something -- I should look through the vessel I found outside Lambda. + Oh, come on. You open everything else -- is it a security clearance thing? + I can find Lambda, right? I mean really, how big can this ocean be? + What did you want me to do? + The tool you're carrying. Plug it into the computer over there. + Use the omnitool with the computer. + Just plug the omnitool into the computer. + Put the sort of square thing you're holding into the matching hole over there. + Lambda terminal 27 activated. + Custom cortex chip found -- shutting down Helper Jane. Have a nice day. + Unable to activate escape vessel -- protocol missing. + + + + Can you steer this thing? + Starboard rudder is choking, but I can compensate. + How do you even know what direction we're going in? + Don't worry, I'm hooked up to the navigator. We're headed for Theta. Should be a matter of minutes. + I thought I was done for back there. + Seems like the WAU was keeping the Curie from going into a catastrophic failure state. I mean, how did it get on the ship? + Are you talking about the black tentacles in the engine room? I've seen them before at Upsilon. What are they? + They're a manifestation of a malfunctioning, station-wide, artificial intelligence called the WAU. + Station-wide? So we just made a powerful enemy. + No no, it's not like that. The A.I. isn't a persona, it doesn't feel or think like we do. It's more like... it's more like a cancer. + Was that the ship? + Looks like your sabotage worked better than expected. + Brace for impact! + Hold on! The blast just pushed us off the plateau! + What does that mean?! + If I don't hit Delta, we're dead. + The sky is pitch black with smoke. The ocean is dark, incredibly dark. In the distance I can see land. According to navigation - it's Lisbon and the coast of Portugal. + Any signs of life? Over - Hopper? + It's on fire. Everything is on fire. The flames, they're reaching all the way into the sky. It's unreal. + Any signs of life? Over. + No, nothing but a massive firestorm covering the continent. + Huh, what? + Oh, you made it. This is much better. Let's see if we can't get this thing moving. + Uh, wait, what... safety locks are blocking the vessel's release? Are you kidding? How much more of an emergency could this ship be in? It's on the bottom of the sea. + Take a look at the engine room and see if you can figure it out. Maybe there's an override or something. + There's monsters out there. Like the ones we saw at Lambda. + The more reason to get going. + What? + Come on, you know the drill: don't look at them or get too close. It'll mess with your circuits. + Ah, shit. + We need to get out of here. + I know, I know. I'm going. + What are those things? They look like people. Really messed-up people. + I think they could be dead people brought back. + To life. + Sure, let's call it that. + Catherine, do you think we should try going to the surface? + No, the comet really did a number on the atmosphere. I doubt it'll ever be okay again. + I was afraid you'd say that. + You really think this thing is going to get us to Theta in one piece? + I don't see why not. It looks perfectly fine. + Fine? I probably wouldn't use that word, but I'm glad you're confident. + Attention crew, this is your captain speaking. The final efforts to stop the comet have officially failed. Impact is imminent. + Christ, what did you do?! The reactor just lost all balance, I think we're in deep shit. + Simon, the lifeboat locks just released -- quick, get back here! + Ok, I'm in. + Then let's get the hell out of here. + What's taking so long? + I need to pump all the water out before we take off. + Can't you do it any faster? + I'm almost there! + All right, here we go. Hold on to something! + Huh? What the hell happened here? What are all these emergency -- what did you do?! + I messed up, okay? Can you get us out of here? + Yes, yes. I just need to pump the water out and get a trajectory in place. + Hurry up. + Just a second. + All right, taking off. Hold on to something! + Curie is safe while submerged. The crew -- what's left of it -- is doing okay. For the rest of the world, there's no good way to describe it. The destruction is absolute. The surface is just gone. + We're fucked. This was a huge mistake. Even with the suits we're just in a mess up here. Keep Curie safe. Forget about Omega, forget about the surface! + Something is stabilizing the ship. We need to let it know this is an emergency. + Convince the ship that this is an emergency. + Sabotage the stabilizer, Simon. The black cords you mentioned, pull them down. + Tear down all the black cords. + Do you... do you know anything about dark metallic cords that seem to be feeding off the machinery? + Huh? + Oh, you mean the WAU is here. + What? + That's what's keeping the ship together. + Pull them, Simon. Pull them all down. + Look out! + Simon? Are you okay? + I think so. + You really scared me. I thought I was going to be trapped here forever. + All right, we're in. Let's find a working escape vessel. + +Warning! Reactor collapse imminent. Proceed to the Emergency Vessels. + + + + Peter, can you hear me? + Uh, I hear you, Terry. I mean Mr. Akers, sir. + I've changed my mind. I would like to come to Theta. Let Delta sleep. + Of course! Wow, honestly didn't expect to hear from you again. Such a long time since you checked in. + We have a few divers in a zeppelin surveying Lambda at moment. I'll just make sure they pick you up when they're done. + Ah, thank you for the warning. I'll make sure they feel welcome. + Ok, see you when you get here. + Strasky? We can see the zeppelin now. + Good. Sorry about the mess. Without the positioning system, the zepps just keep losing their set routes. + Wolchezk did say that you could have fixed it on your side by re-jigging the antenna. + Guess it doesn't matter now. Are all of you coming? + No, just me, Goya, and Krier. Akers is set on being a stubborn old man. + All right. See you soon, Brandon. Happy evac! + Come in, Strasky. Can you hear me? + Theta, listen! Akers is headed for Theta! + Delta LUMAR Annex, getting a signal, but no audio. + Strasky! It's Komorebi! Akers has gone mad -- he's dangerous! + Strasky?! + Sorry, Delta. Still no audio -- try calling from another access point. + Strasky, I can try sending... I have pictures... + Transport active. Unspecified cargo. + *static* + It's everywhere. + What, hello? + All that water. We're drowning. + Who is this? + Alan. What's your name? + Simon. Where... what are you? + Alan, can you hear me? Alan? + *static* + Do you hear me speaking? Of course you do. + I wanted to let you know, that I know. You didn't blindly pick me out of the herd. + The slow waves of Delta crashing against the shore had an undertow that pulls you into a slumber. + It's a beautiful thing and I won't be selfish. I will help, tuck them in, watch them sleep. + They too will find peace within the universe of the WAU. + There. Should be able to get the zeppelin now. + The zeppelin is on its way. Better get ready. + That's definitely the zeppelin. + Gah! + Calm down. We're safe. + It's really disconcerting popping in and out of existence like that. Where are we now? + Delta -- at least, that's what you said before the crash. + Oh, right. Of course. Is this a zeppelin? + Appropriately named. You think it can get us to Theta? + It's a cargo transport. They use them for moving materials between the sites. Anything that's too big for the shuttles. I'm sure it can carry us. + Agh, why won't it work? Come on -- oh, the tool chip is bust. + Isn't that a part of the omnitool? + Look who's been paying attention. + I had to deal with that back at Upsilon. + Then you know how it works. We need to get a new tool chip and switch it. + Care to point me in the direction of the closest tool chip storage? + I think it would be easier to just take one from a robot. + What? Just knock a robot over the head and steal their chips? + The toolbox over there says it has a stun baton. You could use that. + Come on, I don't want to hurt anyone -- isn't this a bit much? + It's just a robot, Simon. + We're just robots! + Sort of. + I'll get us the chip. + Thanks, Simon. Don't be mad, okay? We really needed that chip. We'd be stuck here. + Could you do it? Kill a robot like that? + I get attached to them too, I'm not a monster. But in this case it had to be done. + I... I feel awful. + The robots only appear intelligent. They're much more like dogs than humans. + I wouldn't hit a dog! + Sorry, poor choice of words. + I don't want to hurt anything! + Well, we need a tool chip or we're stuck here. + Guess I have no choice. + Ah, come on. + I hope this works. + I still need that chip to fix Catherine. + Should be an easy fix. + Delta rescue team notified. Please remain seated. + You saw that, right?! You saw Akers fucking injecting that shit into them?! + He got me pretty bad. + I think I made it worse -- pulling away. I... I can feel it bleeding out. + Can you see him? + Fuck, he got on the zeppelin! He's going back to Theta. + We have to warn them. + Good luck with that. The platform radio is dead, remember? + The LUMAR Annex should work. It has to. + Yeah, you go. I'm not gonna make it, I'm just not. + Come on, Evans. We have to warn them, come on-- + Thanks. + Can we do this some other way? These robots haven't done anything. + Come on already! I need one of their tool chips to fly us out of here. + I'll never get this open. + You're the rescue team, huh? Good job. + Thanks, little man. You are stronger than you look. + You are a really useful little guy, you know that? + Man, I need to get a better footing. + That's a long drop. + Careful, Simon. Careful. + Rusted shut. Probably for the best. I'm not sure I trust the shuttle train anymore. + Oh hey, little guy. Didn't expect to see you again. + Hell of a day, am I right? Can't believe how much I'm sweating in this suit. + Think I need some vacation soon. Have to speak with Akers about that. Isn't that right, Akers? + Yeah, you'll put in a good word for me? I'm not sure that's a good thing. Nah, I'm just messing with you. + Brandon, did you move the Carthage casing? We need to test that one before we ship it. + Man, you can really tell when Astrid is off platform. This place turns into such a locker room. And not in the good way either. + I don't know, man. I just say we can keep things classy even when women aren't around, you know? + Yeah, yeah. You're so full of shit, Brandon. I've seen you when payload manager Alice Koster shows up. + You'd let her manage your payload? What? That doesn't even make any sense. Come on, stop messing around and get back to work. + Forget it, Akers, I'm not playing with you anymore. As if Chess wasn't boring enough -- you just have to go and win in four moves or whatever. + Did you move the outer shields? No -- the thin one, the yielder! Yeah, yeah, I know it's not technically a shield. Never mind, I found it. + Why would you want to go to Theta? Why be a small fish in a big pond, you know? + Tell you the truth, I fucking love my job. I love that Delta is such a tight operation. I get to try everything here. + Looks okay, right? Yeah, it'll do. + Careful, Brand. Nice and easy. + Yeah, just need a few more. + Hey, try the other one -- it's not working. + Got it. + I wouldn't suggest taking on a robot with your bare hands. There's a stun baton in the tool box over there. The divers use them to scare off sharks and stuff, so I'm sure it packs a punch. + You'd better grab the stun baton over there in the tool box. Don't want the robots to end up stealing your chips. + Don't forget the stun baton. You'll need it to wrestle the robots. + Take the stun baton from the toolbox. I'm sure it will come in handy. + Is there a difference between them? I went for a small one. + No, not a K-8, those are so cute! + What?! + Don't worry, they're dumber than rocks. + You're the worst. + He was talking. I mean he was delusional, but he seemed sincere -- present. + Yeah, well... I'm sure it's fine. + Was he really that different from us? + It's just beginning to sink in. I mean really sink in -- I'm a robot. + Didn't we cover this already? + I guess I've known ever since I woke up at Upsilon. + I just keep suppressing it, like my brain doesn't want me to think about it. + It's really getting hard not to think about it. + Yeah... could you maybe hit that switch over there so we can get moving? + Oh yeah, sure. + Argh, what's... what's happening? + Argh, fuck! That hurts. + Argh! + Brandon. Are you okay? What the hell happened? + I don't get it. What was that? + Stay down, Brandon. Not sure it's safe. + Christ. This place is crazy. + Akers! Did you see that?! + That really hurt. + Came out of nowhere. + Got to be more careful. + Guys, I need help! + Brandon?! Come on, help me out! + Shit, the suit is filling up with water. + Ah god, there's a lot of blood. + Guys, I'm fucked. I'm in really bad shape. + Brandon?! Terry?! + I don't want to die. + Why is this happening? + Take the stun baton from the box I opened and hunt down a robot with a working tool chip. + Um, we need the tool chip, remember? We're not killing robots for fun, you know. + Pick up the chip from the robot you knocked out. + Take the stun baton from the box right over there and then go look for a robot with a working tool chip. + We need a tool chip from one of the robots. You should be able to knock them out with the stun baton you picked up. + Use the stun baton you picked up to knock out a robot and steal their tool chip. + The baton isn't exactly made for taking out robots, you probably have to swing at it a few times. + You need to keep hitting the robot till it goes down. + Don't worry, Cath. I'll find a way to Theta. + Good robot! + Hey, could you maybe help? I need to get to Theta. + Hey, can you hear me? + Hey, you... + Listen... + Don't stand there, you know better than that. + Help me out here, will you? + Give me some room, will you? + Make yourself useful. + Don't worry about it, I got this. + + + + You did really good back there, Simon. We got a slight Delta detour, but we're back on track. + Yeah. + We should touch down on a cargo platform just outside Theta. Then we just head inside, grab the DUNBAT, and head down the abyss. 4,000 meters. That's a long way. + We don't have to worry though, because with the DUNBAT the ARK could have been in the Mariana Trench -- it will hold for anything. + That's great. + And then we can start listening to other people when they talk, because that's how conversations work. + What? Oh, sorry. I just can't stop thinking about what we've become. It's clear that we're no longer human. But then how can I feel like Simon? How can I feel anything at all? + I mean technically I don't have any ears, no mouth -- Christ, that's a weird thing to think about. I mean I'm making sounds. I'm still saying things. + You sure are. + Ok, your new body most likely has senses similar to those you had as a human. And your mind, only knowing one way to perceive the world, superimposes that skill set on top of your new features. + So my mind is covering it up -- pretending nothing's different. + If it didn't, you'd probably be incapable of interacting with the world at all. And the stress would either kill you or make you go insane. + So I've found a good balance between awareness and ignorance. + Does that mean I shouldn't think about this stuff, or are my thoughts actually making me cope? + Could I tip the balance by suddenly gaining some insight and go insane? + I wouldn't worry about it. I mean we have real things to deal with. Saving mankind, remember? + Speaking of which. We're closing in on Theta -- I'll eject the omnitool. As always, don't forget to take me with you. + Cath, before you go? The artificial intelligence you mentioned in the escape vessel? + Uh-huh, yeah, the warden unit? + Is it the WAU's fault that we're like this? I mean it seems like something an unreliable AI would do. + I suppose it set the ball in motion, but it's not directed with purpose. + It's really complicated to explain how machines think, Simon. Concentrate on getting inside Theta, okay? + See you soon. + I can figure this out. + This thing on, can everyone hear me? + Go ahead, Strohm. + Listen up, all members of staff. + The ARK project has caused a lot of arguments the last few months. I'm not going to pretend I understand what the hell Sarang talked about and how his Continuity suddenly made sense to kill yourself. + For the fucking love of god or whatever you think is important, don't kill yourself. This place is miserable enough -- don't force your friends to clean up your blood. + Rest in peace, all of you. + Good? + Beautiful, sir. + All right, everyone. Show's over. Get back to work. + That's everything, right? Thank you, Catherine. + Wait, am I already here? + I don't understand. + Hello? + Who is that? Mark? + No. We haven't met before. + Is this the ARK? + I think we're safe. + Oh, I was so worried something had gone wrong. + What's your name? + Robin Bass, Theta field service technician. + Nice to meet you, Robin. + How did you get here? + I got scanned, like the others. And then I killed myself. + At least I think so. I can't remember that part. + How does that work? Did dying get you into the ARK? + Wow, you're definitely not from Theta. Let me guess, Omicron? Wasn't sure Catherine would be able to scan you guys. You're lucky. There was a lot of talk about this at Theta. + The idea is when you are activated in the ARK there's basically two of you, right? One human, one living scan in the ARK. + You don't want your copy to survive you, you yourself want to survive on the ARK. If the human you dies before the scan is initiated, or closely after, you yourself would live on in the ARK. Amazing, right? + Did Catherine put you up to this -- killing yourself? + Catherine Chun? No. I don't think you understand. She just did scans and put them into the ARK. + I hope I get to meet her soon so I can apologize. She always got into trouble with Strohmeier when someone killed themselves. + I think she's okay with it. + Where is everyone? I thought there would be like forty or fifty people here. + I don't know. I'll let you know if I see anyone. + Robin, I'm not sure how to say this. + What? + This... this is... + Yeah? + Pretty amazing, right? I mean the ARK. + Yeah, it's great. Catherine and the guys really pulled through. They saved us all. + See you later. + Will do. + I'll be going now. + Let me know if you find anyone else. + You're good? + I think so. I feel fine. + Jesus! What are you doing -- stop it, stop it, stop it, please! + *gasp* + Is this what it's supposed to look like? + I expected something different. + Where is everyone -- I'm not the only one who got scanned. + Mark? Hello? + It's different though. + Maybe this is paradise. + I'm just not prepared. + Maybe it's something I'll get better at. + I can't tell if this is it. + Huh? + Wow. + Oh. + Wha... + Huh. + Strasky, wake up Dr Masters -- we're bringing in Akers. + What's wrong? + What can I say -- he's had a rough day. + Jesus Christ! He's all butchered by structure shrapnel. The WAU sure did a number on him. + Brandon, flip the panic switch on the suit -- I don't want to burn through the oxygen. + You're kidding, right? He's fucking hanging on by a thread. We need to move him. + Strasky, get the infirmary ready. We need to move fast. + Wait! Where are Komorebi and the others? + This is all we got. I guess they're still at Delta. + Emma, I can't do this on my own -- grab the other side. + Strask, ready or not, we're coming in. + All right. See you soon. + Sarah, are you there? + Who is this? Catherine? I'm busy working. + I just wanted to say: thank you... for what you did. + Don't worry about it. But you should stand up for yourself. I mean Strohmeier doesn't have that kind of authority. You can just tell him to go fuck himself. + I just don't... I'm not that kind of a person. + You can't expect people to fight for you all the time. You're a brilliant person, Cath. You're so smart it makes my head spin. But sometimes you just disappear into yourself. Suddenly it's like talking to a fucking five year old. + It's just hard. I can't just be more like that. Everyone would know I'm pretending. + It's not too late to win people over. Strasky likes you. I like you. Reed likes you. + Strasky likes everybody. + Yeah, that's true. + Wait, you think Reed likes me? + Catherine. A lot of people like you. You just need to open up a little. Be more approachable. + Can I get back to work now? I'd rather not get reprimanded twice in one day. + Ok, see you back inside. + Over and out. + Do you hear me speaking? Of course you do. + I wanted to let you know, that I know. You didn't blindly pick me out of the herd. + The slow waves of Delta crashing against the shore had an undertow that pulls you into a slumber. + It's a beautiful thing and I won't be selfish. I will help, tuck them in, watch them sleep. + They too will find peace within the universe of the WAU. + + + + Hello, anyone there? + Well, Catherine, we found Theta. + No, won't work. We need someone from Theta Security Group. + That one won't work either. Look for security people like Cronstedt or Strohmeier. + No, I don't think so. Strohmeier recruited people from the evacuated sites. They should also know the cipher, if you can find one of them. + Okay, try actually reading the info and then pick one. + *disappointed sigh* + *hmpf* + *frustrated sigh* + Very promising. I'll just load him up and get the simulator going. + There should be a list of people. See if there's anyone who could know a security cipher. + An intact memory chip. If we're lucky, we might be able to extract the cipher from it. + That wasn't so bad. Strohmeier really got me worked up. Bastard. + What... where did... Alice? + That wasn't so bad. Strohmeier really got me worked up. Bastard. + What... how did I get here? + That wasn't so bad. Strohmeier really got me worked up. Bastard. + What... what is this? Where am I? + That wasn't so bad. Strohmeier really got me worked up. Bastard. + That wasn't so bad. Strohmeier really got me worked up. Bastard. + What happened to the room? + That wasn't so bad. Strohmeier really got me worked up. Bastard. + Wow, what the hell happened? Where are we? + That wasn't so bad. Strohmeier really got me worked up. Bastard. + Well, that's what you get for listening to his stories. + Guess I had it coming. + About Strohmeier. He said he needed the new cipher asap. What should I tell him? + That's all right. I can talk to him. + Wait, didn't Chun just tell you to take it easy? Don't worry, I'm not going to tell anyone. + I do feel hung over. Okay, it's 1729 over 42, 12 over 407. Got it? + That's enough, we got what we need. + Here we go, Brandon Wan's room. I'll just override the lock for you. + Have a look around. Maybe he has something we can use to get the cipher. + If we get to know him, maybe we can make the simulation a little smoother. + He's a construct wrangler. He must know the cipher. + There's a note from Alice that makes me think she was scanned alongside Brandon. + Ok, that sounds really promising. We can definitely use that. + I think I just heard Alice talking to Brandon on the intercom. Seems like they were getting ready to leave. + You got that from the intercom? Must be a transmission buffer. Hang on. + Great, this is exactly what we need! + Brandon, you ready to go? Strohmeier says it's time to move. + I'm waiting for Strasky and Alvaro to pack up their stuff. Head downstairs and I'll meet you there. + Don't take too long. + Don't worry. We're right behind you. + I think we got this, Simon. I can synthesize Alice's voice from the intercom and use it to impersonate her for the simulation. + We can trick him into feeling safe enough to open up. + Great. Definitely feeling good about this. + Good job with the intercom. I didn't know you could datamine. What's it like? + It's just something that I do now. + So it comes naturally to you. That's really interesting. + Yeah, I'll make sure to add it to my dating profile. + Mr Wan. Can you hear me? + Congratulations, Mr Wan. The scan was successful. + The scan is done. Are you feeling all right, Mr Wan? + Chun? Where's Alice? + She had to leave. Listen. I really need to know the new security cipher. + She left. Mr Wan, I need you to give me the new security cipher. + She's fine. We don't have much time, Mr Wan. I need the new security cipher. + What, why? Why would you need that? This is a trick! + Please, this is important. + No, it's okay. I promise. + Please, calm down. + I knew you couldn't be trusted -- none of this is real. + You won't break me, WAU. You hear me, you won't break me! + That wasn't so bad. Strohmeier really got me worked up. Bastard. + What... what happened? Where did everyone go? + Take it easy, Mr Wan. + Mr Wan. + Don't be afraid. + Chun? What happened. I can't see anything. There's nothing here. + It's okay. It's all a part of the scan. + There's no need to worry. + Don't worry, Mr Wan. It will all get better. + No, no, that's a lie. You're lying! + Okay, calm down, Mr Wan. + Mr Wan, I need you to stay calm. + Don't get upset, Mr Wan. + No, no no no, why are you doing this to me?! + I trusted you, Chun. I trusted you! + Mr Wan. I need your help. + Don't be afraid, Mr Wan. + Welcome back, Mr Wan. + Dr Chun, is that you? What happened? What is this place? + Everything's fine. Theta needs your help. We need the new security cipher. + Just be calm. Take a deep breath and enjoy the scenery for moment. + Listen, I really need your help. I need the new security cipher. + Doctor Chun? I hear your voice, but there's no one here. There's no one here! + It's empty. It's too empty. There's something really wrong with this place. + It's not real. This isn't real! I have to get out of here! + Everything is okay, Mr Wan. Just relax. + Relax, Mr Wan. Just keep calm. + Take a deep breath, Mr Wan. Everything is fine. + Dr Chun? What the hell is this place? + I need a favor. I need to know what the new security cipher is. + I need your help. I have to get the new security cipher. + I don't have time to explain. I need you to give me the new security cipher. + Why are you doing this? Is this some trick? I'm not giving you anything. + Please, we really need that cipher. + It's not for me. I'm trying to save the ARK. + I'm trying to save a lot of people. + No, you're lying. This is all a lie! + Look at this place -- it's a fucking joke! + Get me out of here, Chun, or I'll punch your teeth in! + Ah, that's great. I'm glad you're all right. + Everything is okay now. + What a relief -- that it wasn't so bad. + Alice, what happened to the room? + Nothing, nothing. It must be the scan. Making you see things. + What do you mean? Nothing's changed. Everything is A-okay. + Nothing happened. Are you sure you're feeling all right? + Why are you acting like this? + What do you mean -- honey? + I'm normal -- like always. + Me? Why are you acting like this? + Whoever you are, you better get the fuck out of here. + Don't be upset. I need your help. + Please. I'm just trying to find a cipher. + It's not what you think -- we're the good guys. + What the hell is this -- what have you done to me? + What have you done to Alice?! + If she's hurt, I'll fucking end you! + Pretty neat, right? + Do you like it? + Not what you'd expect, am I right? + Alice, where are we? + This is the ARK. However we have a problem. + We made it, it's the ARK. But I need to ask you something. + Don't worry about it, you are safe. But I need you to listen to me. + What? What is happening? + Brandon, we need the new security cipher. + The new security cipher -- I need it. + Tell me the new security cipher. It's important. + You're lying. You're not Alice. What did you do to her? + What's going on here?! + Why are you doing this?! + Welcome to the ARK + Behold -- the ARK. + This? This is the ARK. + We made it? I didn't realize it would work this way. + Just one thing. + What do you mean? + Do you remember Theta changing the security cipher? + You know how Theta got a new security cipher? + Theta got a new security cipher, remember? + Yeah, the WAU lockout. + There's still people we have to save and we need that key to do it. + I need that key. It's the only way to save the rest of the staff. + Uh... someone messed up, we really need that key. + Wait, this is crazy. You're not Alice. + No, I am. I promise. + That's not true. I'm Alice. + No, no, no. I'm Alice. + You're lying! This is a trick. + Mr Wan. I need you to calm down. + This is fucking cold using Alice like that. Get out of my face! + Calm down. I just need the cipher. + Mr Wan, it's really important. I need to know the cipher. + Please. I really need that cipher. + I'm not giving you anything. + Take me back to Theta! Now! + I'm not having any more of your bullshit. + Welcome to my place. When I started the ARK project I pretty much lived in this lab. + Cozy. + I used to know everyone around here. Then, when they started to evacuate the other sites, I couldn't keep up. There were so many new people coming in. + Thank you, Brandon. It won't happen again. + He's just like us. It could have been us. + Don't... try not to think of it like that. + *heavy sigh* + This is where I would store the ARK scans. + You got it. Now get out of there, Simon. + Simon, we really need to reset that router. You have to go back down. + Just give me a minute. + Strasky, come in. I need help in the lab. The scan room. + What happened? + Konrad killed himself after the scan. + Jesus, how? + Uh, maser tool. What should I do? + I'm gonna need to tell Strohmeier. + No please, I'm so close! Strohmeier's going to shut down the ARK project. It's not my fault people keep killing themselves. + Catherine. What are you gonna do? It's not like you can sneak a 300 pound body out of the lab. + I know. + Catherine, are you okay? + Not even close. + Okay, that's it. + Wow, that was fun. + That's a relief. Still figuring this out, so... + It was freaky -- so many lights. What do we do now? + Paul and I are going to run tests for a week or so. Then we'll work out a roadmap to your recovery. + Well, I feel excited. Can't wait to get back to the living. + We have worked everything out. Everything is legal. Vouched for by Dr Peake and Professor Wei. + Ah, that's great news. + No big change in medication. You'll be taking an aspirin every morning, but that's about it. Paul worked out a diet with some variations you should try out. You can continue doing physical therapy and also there's some extra cardio training every other day. + Okay, getting complicated. + Don't worry, it's really not. We're going to keep an eye on you every week, so we'll be able to adjust the plan if needed. + *heart monitor beeping* + The model was sound. It should have worked. + It's not your fault, David. + I really wish things had turned out differently. + Yeah, me too. + I was supposed to save you. + Hey, you got my brain on file. Maybe you can put it to some use. + Yeah, who knows. You'd be okay with that? Using it for my research? + Sure, it's like a part of me lives on or something. Like a donated organ. + You know what sucks about dying? + What? + The crash. Everything up till now. The brain damage, you guys, everything -- it has made my life so much more real. I started thinking about all the things I was going to do. I'd never been more excited to be alive! All that hope wasted. + This is where I did my scan... and all the others, I suppose. + You don't remember? + My scan was the first. Had to test the scanner before I could start making promises. + Simon, we got it. We can get to the DUNBAT now. Get back here. + There we are. + What are we doing exactly? + We're going to have a talk with Mr Wan. Use the computer to activate the simulation. + Still not enough. We need to find something to cushion the awakening. + I'll have a look. + Is that what we are -- simulations? + Yeah, but it shouldn't make any difference. You're still you. + Broken. + Bust. + Damaged. + I need to fix that mainframe connection. + Now what's wrong? + That's no good. Can I fix this? + Good job, Simon. + This better have worked. I'm not going down there again. + Let's load up that chip. + Go ahead, plug in that chip you found. + We should really look for a scan. Check the storage. + The laboratory terminals have lost contact with the mainframe. We need to reset the router downstairs. + Don't worry. I'll take care of it. + I was thinking, with all the people scanned for the ARK, someone must have had access to the DUNBAT. + If you find a scan of someone who knew the security cipher, maybe we can extract it somehow. + Extract from what? What exactly am I looking for? + Look for the large racks of datachips in the storage next to my lab. + Should be plenty to choose from. + I think Brandon Wan is a good lead, but we need to find out more about him. + See if you can't get to know him a little. Have look in his room -- go through his stuff. + I can do that. + I think we need to find a better location for Brandon Wan. + The Vivarium made me think about why it was simply the same room. + Vivarium? What are you talking about? + I don't like guessing what I did after my scan, but there's a good chance I made a schematic for the scan room. + Are you suggesting I check the scan room for schematics of the scan room? + Yes. And feed them into the simulator. That should work. + The file you picked out, Brandon Wan, I think we should try running him in the simulator. + You think he can have the cipher? + It's the best lead we have. + Wait! Simon, you just reset the simulation. + Simon, what the hell! We need to do this. + Please, stop resetting the simulation. This is important. + *sigh* + Yeah, I got it. I'm sorry, Mr Wan... Brandon. Goodbye. + I can't leave without Catherine. + I wonder if we can use Alice in the simulation somehow. + What do you mean? No wait! + You tried that one already. + I told you, that one won't work. + Simon, it didn't magically change since the last time you tried it! Idiot. + *disappointed sigh* + *hmpf* + *frustrated sigh* + I compiled an Alice module that we can use. + So she'll be with Brandon in the simulation. + Sort of. I'll still need to do the talking, but it will sound and look like Alice. + What happened to all the people? + This place looks deserted... so far. + Doesn't make any sense. Theta is clearly the best option for survival. + Cute. + A letter from someone named Alice. They were together during the scan. You know her? + He was close with Koster? I would not have expected that. Can we use that somehow? Keep looking. + Seems like they were getting ready to leave. Heard some lady telling Brandon to hurry up. + You got that from the intercom? Must be a transmission buffer. Hang on. + That's Alice Koster. Wouldn't have guessed they even knew of each other. Interesting. + We're here? We're here! Okay, great. Time to hijack ourselves a submarine. There will be nothing stopping us when we have the DUNBAT. + You guys sure have a lot of machines and vehicles down here. What makes this one so special? + It's the only transport that can go into the abyss without cracking like a can of soup. + If this is one of a kind, then how did they get the ARK down the abyss in the first place? + That's a good question. I suppose they did it the hard way and just walked. + Didn't realize that was an option. + Cath, what's it like inside the ARK -- is it like a movie or virtual reality? + No, of course not. It's, you know, like real life. But slightly better. + Pleasant temperature, clean air, good weather. + So, people in the ARK just walk around pretending it's the real world? + You don't have to pretend it's perfectly immersive. + And it can just sustain itself? + Yes, attached to a probe fueled by solar panels, it could survive for thousands of years. + That's amazing. + Just thinking about the earth being what it is and us setting out to save the final remains of humanity, it's... it's... + Heroic? + At least it feels worth doing. + Here we go -- the DUNBAT! + Ah, dammit. I knew it was too good to be true. + What's wrong? + It's... it's quarantined?! + Hold on. + Looks like all your friends moved downstairs. + Why abandon the gate... and the habitat? That's so strange. I don't like this at all. + We need a security cipher. + How bad is it? + It's "we don't write these things down" type of bad. + Maybe someone's still around who can tell us what it is? + Hm, sure. Let's go with that. + I'll just unlock the other doors for you so you can explore the station. + Where the hell did they all go? + If Theta is out of the picture, where would you go? + Probably Lambda or Omicron. + Well, we've seen Lambda already. So, maybe Omicron. + I'm worried we won't find anyone. + Maybe they all helped out with the ARK. + To carry it to Tau? That seems excessive, but not out of the question. + Why would they all leave this floor? + I don't get it either. It's like they all just cleared out. + What's so interesting downstairs? Just labs and offices... maybe the shuttle station? + Should we go check? + Rather not. Got a bad feeling about this. + Maybe they wanted to keep close to the shuttle station in case something went wrong. + You're really stuck on that one. + I'm just worried about my colleagues. + The legacy scan of me that was on the computer -- what did you use it for? + It's a template that has an intelligence pathwork already etched into the base. So if I wanted to build an AI I wouldn't have to reinvent a whole model, I would be able to focus on the things that the AI is to be used for. + Is every AI self-aware? Do they also think they're Simon? + What? No, Simon. Don't worry. + It's not like we just put people into robots and machinery and let them roam free -- that'd be really cruel -- it doesn't work like that. Or at least it didn't use to work like that. Truly sentient machines, thinking they are people, is definitely new. + But you kept them sentient for the ARK. + Yes, and I basically had to invent the method. + So you're not worried that there are other Simons or Catherines running around out there? + Now I am. Geez, Simon. Some thoughts are better left alone. + Catherine, couldn't we just have extracted the cipher from Brandon's data somehow? So cruel bringing him back like we did. + No, that's impossible. Memories don't work like that. + Let's just hope it was worth it. + I feel terrible about the Brandon thing. Even worse than the robot at Delta. + It's for a good cause. + Did we just bring that guy to life? I mean he's a perfect scan, meant for the ARK -- he's the real deal. + And we turned him off. Took it all away again. + I really thought that was going to work. Maybe we can try again. + Do we need to turn it off? Can't we just keep him alive until we've got the cipher? + The longer he's exposed to the computer model the more he'll get hung up on it. + What's so wrong with letting him settle in a little? + It would drive him insane. So let's keep the sessions short and the suffering to a minimum. + I think we need to build the scene so it's more what he'd expect. As soon as he starts to doubt, we've lost him. + You're right. We need to think this through. We need some more data. + How many times are we going to have to do this? + Come on, Simon. Don't give up now. + Does anything carry over? I mean, could he remember this hell we're putting him through? + The simulation never affects the scan pattern. Each time is a fresh start. + That's a little comforting, I suppose. + Please, let this be over soon. + Just give us the cipher already. + For god's sake. + I'm not sure what to do with the data. You decide. + Hey, that's my room. + You want me to bring something -- a souvenir? + No. It's just memories. + Did you know that the human body consists of up to 75 trillion individual cells? They typically don't stay with us till we die -- some live a few days while others live a few years. + We're not affected by their short lifespans, as they're replaced by new cells which help sustain our bodies. + I don't think anyone would argue that we ever lose our persona due to this process, yet we are clearly in a constant state of transformation. + Then how do we remain the same? + A continuous flow of thought and perception keeps an unbroken chain of continuity that we know as our self. + Our conscious mind is not the pattern of our brain, but a continuous emergent entity based on that pattern. + When Dr Chun populates the ARK, she is capturing a moment of our existence and placing it inside the digital world. + Soon you and your digital you will grow apart due to diverging experiences, but for a tiny window you are the very same. + With unbroken continuity it will live on -- a fulfilling life, no doubt, no less real than the one from which it was plucked. + Now remember, you are not your body, you are the emergent entity. That entity just happens to occupy two places at once for a while. + If you took away your body you would simply be the only one you can be. The you inside the ARK. + Let your body die and continue on in the digital paradise among the stars. + I can't take this. I can't take this. I can't take this. + Catherine. This is all your fault. + This is all your fault! + Oh, I see. + What? + Check the terminal. I just want to make sure. + David Munshi? How did this... what is this? + Cath, what is this? Why do you have a file of me? + You are one of Dr Munshi's templates -- a legacy scan. + What's a legacy scan? + They are historic templates for AI construction. Any self-respecting engineer wouldn't use legacies anymore, but they're great for learning. They come with every development kit. + So, my brain scan turned into a template for artificial intelligence. + You should be proud. + So much for that mystery. No magic or time travel needed. I was here all along, waiting for someone to shove a picture of my brain into a suit and hit the power button. + He's dead, Cath. The real Simon is dead. + And I'm a replica of that scan Munshi did, thinking he's Simon. + What did you expect? + I don't know, I don't know what I was hoping for... an explanation, maybe an apology. + I'm... I'm sorry. + Not from you. + Well, thanks... I guess. + I deleted the file, so hopefully I'll be the last Simon to suffer through this place. + Ready to move on? + Yeah, let's go. + Hopefully that will put a stop to any future madness. + Did you just delete your neurograph? + Felt like the right thing to do. + I wonder what the real Simon would have thought if he knew about me. + What do you mean? You do know about yourself. + No, I mean the real Simon. The human Simon. + Going by your reactions, I'd say he'd be pretty upset. + Simon, the last report filed by the staff mentions struggling with something called a Proxy. + "The Proxy we killed was blind, just like Akers. But it listens! Careful -- we spotted two more by the infirmary." + What do they look like? + Not sure. Seems to be human enough to pass for a crew member at a distance. + Tall, dark, and ultimately faceless, seems to be what to look out for. + I'll keep my eyes open. + This setup won't work. We need something else. + Simon, we need something new to work with. + Can't keep trying the same thing over and over! + It's not enough. We need to try something else. + For crying out loud, we can't keep torturing him like this. + No, it's not going to work like this. + He's not buying it, Simon. We need something else. + We need to find someone who knows the cipher. It's the only way to fire up the DUNBAT. + We should try running a simulation from the chip you found -- someone must know the cipher. + Simulating Brandon Wan was a good idea, but we need to change his environment to soften the awakening. + We got Brandon Wan up and running, but he's not very approachable. Maybe we can find out where he lived and get to know him a little. + There you are. Just warming up the DUNBAT for us. It's been collecting dust for months, so it might need a minute. + Ok, that's it. That's everything. Let's go ahead and-- + Huh, that's weird. Never mind. + What do you need me to do? + Head inside the dock -- the omnitool can open the door now -- and get into the DUNBAT. + Then plug me in and I'll take us into the abyss. + Sounds easy enough. + Your teddy bear could use some repairs. + Toby always breaks. He's top-heavy, so he keeps falling over. + Cool fan. + Thanks. Reminds me of Taipei, my home town. + You have a lot of toys. + Hmpf. + What's with the junk? Looks like something you'd fish out of the ocean. + Huh? Oh, you mean... + Yeah, that's a part of Reed's Vivarium. It's... it's a long story. Forget it. + What's the little projector? Looks homemade. + That's my attempt at building a Vivarium. It's kind of a proto-ARK. + Find someone who knows the security cipher. + The terminals in my laboratory have lost connection to the mainframe. Head downstairs and reset the router. + Go downstairs and reset the router. + There's something we're missing. Keep looking in Brandon Wan's room. + Keep looking in Wan's room. + Run a simulation from the chip you found. + We got Brandon together with Alice. That's a good start, but we need to simulate the room that he was scanned in somehow. + We need to simulate Wan inside the room he was scanned in. + We should simulate Brandon Wan inside a scene that resembles the situation in which his mind was captured -- inside the scanning room with Alice. + Run a simulation of Brandon Wan inside the scan room environment together with Alice. + There must be something in Wan's room that can help us. + Find a way to change the digital environment and then run the simulation of Brandon Wan again. + Rest in peace, Brandon. + Brandon mentions a girl named Alice. They did their scans together. + Alice Koster? We could try to make him think that she's there during the simulation -- might make him talk. Not sure how though. Keep looking. + Seems like Alice and Brandon did their scans together. + Oh, we can definitely use that. + Alice and Brandon were definitely an item. + Good. Then we should find a way to incorporate her into the scan. + Alice and Brandon were definitely together during the scan. + Good to know. Maybe we can use that somehow. + Are they similar to my legacy file? + No, yours is flatter, if that makes sense, less dynamic. + Thanks, that makes me feel much better. + So you saved the whole staff digitally on these chips? + That was the plan. + I found more evidence suggesting they were together during the scan. + That's okay, Sherlock. We got it already. We should focus on simulating Brandon Wan. + Thanks, Strohmeier. That's a real helpful report. + "Be quiet, the Proxy listens." + What happened to Theta? No explanations anywhere + Kind of sounds like a warning. + We should really use the Alice module in the simulation. + You know, if we got to know Brandon Wan a little, maybe he'd be easier to deal with. Try finding his room. + I seriously doubt you'll find anything useful in there. + You don't have to search my room. We'll get by. + Maybe we should move on. + Come on, no need to go through all my stuff. + Simon, get out of my room already. + I wish I knew Brandon better. What would make him talk. + You know what, go look for Brandon's room. Let's do some investigation. I'm sure we can get to him somehow. + + + + *Monster wailing trying to get inside* + *Banging on door* + You won't get me, motherfuckers! You hear me?! + *gurgles in pain* + Strohmeier! + Brandon. Where are you? + It got out of hand. I'm in sector RD-4. Did you get everyone downstairs? + Yeah, we're safe for now. But you need to get moving. They're going to figure out where we are and come for us. + Don't worry about it. The stairs are blocked and I killed the elevator -- pulled the connector chip from the lock. + Why? That means you're stuck as well! + Only way to keep you guys safe. Take the shuttle, go to Omicron. + Godammit, Wan. You just had to be the hero, you bastard. + Good luck, sir. And tell Alice I love her. + Still not working. It's missing something. + There's something not hooked up right. + Guess I didn't fix it properly. What's missing? + Ow! I should cover up the electronics. + Looks like a part is missing. + It's missing a chip or something. + Something is missing. + I'm sorry about before, Brandon. I'm sorry we couldn't let you rest in peace. + *grunt of pain* + Terry Akers, chief factor at Delta -- first assessment. + Brought in today: January 16, 2104. + Reportedly found in his diving suit, unconscious, in open water. + Akers has clearly been consuming large amounts of structure gel. For weeks, probably. + It's difficult to tell how this has affected his health beyond the obvious malnourishment... and if it somehow caused him to gouge out his eyes. + Small amounts of gel have always been considered perfectly safe to handle, but I can't recall ever hearing about any recommendations on how to treat overexposure. + Considering its properties I doubt it's poisonous, but the more transformative aspects of the ferrofluid makes me think that malign cell mutations are to be expected. + I think... I think I will need to consult Dr Eames at Omicron about this. + Strohmeier, you there? + I hear you, Brandon. What do you got? + Akers and his critters are ferocious. They pick up on every move. There's no way past them. + Then we'll fight 'em. We got to get to the shuttle. + And end up like Shank and Adams? No way. + Listen -- I'll create a distraction and pull them to me. Get the gang to the shuttle station. + Wait, Brandon. What are you doing? + Don't worry, Alice. I'll loop back as soon as you guys are safe. Just load up the shuttle and be ready to go. + Are you sure about this? + I don't plan to die today, sir. See you at the shuttle. + Close that door, Simon! + Huh? Wait, this isn't... Oh no. WAU got to the DUNBAT before we did, am I right? + Well, it was talking -- that's rarely a good sign. + Dammit! The DUNBAT was our best shot. I was really banking on this to work. + Come on, we can't quit now. There's got to be another way. How do you think you did it? How did the team get the ARK down the abyss in the first place? + If they didn't use the DUNBAT, the only other way would be the Climber at Omicron. It's like an elevator which supposedly reaches all the way down into the abyss. + Okay, so we do that -- we go to Omicron and take the elevator. + Yeah, okay... sure. We'll just head over to Omicron and hope there's a Power Suit that fits you -- you know, so you don't implode while in the abyss. + That does sound useful. + All right. Let's go then! + Wait, what is this place? + Seems to be a lot of information on the ARK here. There's a prototype and everything! + Okay? + Let's start it up. I want to see how it works. Maybe we can figure out how to get on the ARK. + You didn't know how to get us on? + How difficult could it be? + Better not use real data. I don't want to repeat what we did to Brandon. + Second that. + Try loading a dummy scan. It shouldn't be that difficult. I just want to make sure I understand how the scan data is formulated before we start messing around with the real ARK. + Run the simulation and then hit pause while the code is running -- it will give me a cross-section of the process. + You need to pause while the dummy is loaded, otherwise I can't know if it's working or not. + No, try again. The dummy needs to be loaded when you pause. + Try pausing it when the dummy is loaded. + You need to catch it while it's being loaded. + Why won't you sleep? + Close your eyes. Accept it. + It's okay. I'll find a purpose for you. Eventually. + Don't worry. You'll never have to wake again. + Wow, that's so cool -- it's the whole gang! + A crew photo, really? Who were you saving this for? The world was dead. + Thanks, Simon. I thought being an asshole wasn't invented until the 22nd century. Now I know better. + That's Phi all right. Quick stop at Omicron, then Tau, and then Phi. + Let's do it. + The ARK doesn't even look that bulky. This is going to be easy. + You haven't heard of the concept of jinxing, have you? + Sorry, I forgot your people were superstitious. + You need to trust me. + The Warden wants us to feel alive. + It knows what's good for us. + There's still satisfaction -- there's joy. + I can show you. + No need to suffer this place. + I'll help you sleep. + Forever, in peace. + I was sent to help. + Surrender your pain. + Start an ARK simulation, I want to see how it works. + Load a Dummy and pause the simulation while it's active. Then we can run diagnostics and see how it operates. + Get into the scanner, so we can figure out what you're made of. + Get an ARK simulation going. + Load a Dummy, pause simulation while it's active, then run diagnostics. + Get into the scanner. + What's this thing? + That's just a Compound Examiner. Koster uses it to investigate structural integrity in payload frameworks. + Of course. + Could you fit inside it? If I knew what you were made of, it would be a hell of a lot easier to figure out how to get you on the ARK. + Should I be worried about radiation? + I think we're beyond that. + Interesting, you seem to be one with the diving suit you're wearing. Everything's meshed together. + How's that going to work with the suit we're picking up at Omicron? + Um... I think they are bigger. You should be able to wear them both. + Are we done here? Can we go to Omicron and get my new suit now? + Yeah, we should get going. + Want to bring this ARK as a backup? + Nah, that wouldn't work. This is just a prototype. + Good. I prefer to travel light. + Let's go. Don't forget to take me with you. + At least we know how to get on the ARK. + Sort of. I understand the concept, but I don't know the specifics. I really wish we could figure out how the scan data is formulated and processed. + So now we know how to get on the ARK, right? + I know how to get myself on the ARK, but you? I still need you to squeeze into that scanner over there, so I can figure out how to process your mind. + Oh right, I forgot. + Is this the prototype you mentioned? + Yes. Let's start it up. I need to know how to get us onto the ARK. + Yes, of course. So precise, so perfect. + Nothing like admiring your own work. + What? Oh, right. + Bit of a tight fit. + Can you reach the on-switch? + Imogen? Who's that? + Imogen Reed, really? + It looks like the basis for your body is one of my old colleagues. A standard Cortex Chip for robots including the Data Reader and the Occu-Torch has just been forced through the skull. + What?! + Structure gel has fused the whole construction together. Amazing stuff. + No, no no, hold on -- back up. I'm one of your old colleagues? + Well, your body is. Imogen Reed. + That's disgusting. + Hey, don't say that, she was my... she was nice to me. + Anyway, the Cortex Chip is good news. That means we can transfer your mind to the ARK with a Pilot Seat. + Cath, I'm half a dead person! + Yes. It makes sense. Think about it. All those simplistic minds we've run into. Just reviving a dead person doesn't seem to work that well. A robot body seems to make people a bit... unreliable. You are the best of both worlds. A sound mind in a sound body. + Sarah, how the hell are we going to make sure the ARK makes it? + Every launch is a crapshoot, you know that. + I just wish these numbers looked better. + What do you care? It's just a pack of data, right? + Yeah, just a pack of data. + Now what? I need to format the chip? + Well, I'll give it a try. + So now we know how to get on the ARK, right? + Kind of... + What? + It's just that I don't really know what you are. Maybe there's a way to plug you in or maybe scan somehow... we need to figure this out before we leave. + Take a look around the room. Must be something here that can help us. + Look around the room. + You're looking for them, right? I saved them -- put them to sleep. They are safe. + These sinking halls. This dead world is not worth saving. Only life is precious. + The Warden will watch over us as we sleep. Keep us safe. + We failed to save this earth and ourselves. Salvation can only come from the divine Warden. + Inside the dream we find paradise -- an unparalleled existence. + Go in peace, with dignity, into oblivion. + + + + Don't move. It's okay. + What? + It's over now. Relax. + Ashley? What are you doing here? + Hanging out. Like couples do. + But we're not-- + You don't want me? + Yes, of course -- but what happened? + We fell in love. + That's right, Simon. Stay in the real world -- the shitty real world. + Brandon... + I knew you'd come. + Too much of a romantic to forget. + But do you remember this? + The necklace you gave me. + *giggle* + Come on, let's go inside. + They make the best coffee. + And the view -- to die for. + I'd live here if they'd let me. + Doug, quit hogging the screwdriver. + Sun's going down already... + Let's get this thing running. + Don't worry, it's going to fly all right. + We'll be soaring across the fields. + It's gonna be incredible. + When we're sick of it, we'll head back to town. + Get some beer, shoot some pool. + Just like the good old days. + Now hand over the damn screwdriver. + I can't believe I won! + That's one for the books. + Now I can finally die happy. + Forget it, Terry. I'm not playing anymore. + Holy... did you hear, Brand? + Yeah, I won. Got the king cornered. + Oh, a new order's in? Great, let's work it! + Is it another communication satellite? + Military? Better make sure we get it right then. + Come on, Brand. Let's help out our boys. + I'd like to thank the committee. + Why do you reject my offer? + Can't you see? + It's perfect. + Sleep till death. + How can you say no? + Let it swallow you. + Dream! + It's all you could ask! + Everything you ever wanted. + There's nothing left. + No reason to stay behind. + Surrender to the slumber. + I feel bad for you -- you're not able to sleep like the others. + Don't worry, I won't let you go to waste. Most of you is edible. + Noooo... + Thank you. + Nice to meet you too. + I'm truly honored. + You are very welcome. + It's a great discovery for all of us. + Just keep an eye on the levels. + I'll get it from over here. + It's going, it's going. + Careful, Brandon. + Nice and easy. + There we go. + Let me get that for ya. + It's coming along. + Yeah, this will do. + Doug... + The late Elliot Frost, who inspired me, all these years. + I have to dedicate this to my father... + Is perhaps greater than anything. + Learning that we're not alone. + We're living in an exciting time. + Now recognized, at last. + It's been hard keeping it secret. + This discovery belongs to everyone. + Her Majesty Queen Christina II, thank you. + + + + Hey, come on, open up! + What is this shit -- armored for the apocalypse? + Omicron is in quarantine. This is why they didn't answer our call. + Hello!!! + Christ, Strasky. It's called a radio. They're not going to hear you better if you scream. + Jonsy, you okay? Look, I know you're the strong silent type, but I need you to say something every now and then, so I know you're all right. + Jonsy... Jons? + Open up!!! + Fucks sakes. Let's try the annex again -- maybe we can break in. + We're losing Jonsy. We need to get her inside. + Well, get in line! + Alvaro, there's nothing we can do for her right now. Hit the stasis switch and let's check the annex. + It won't fucking open. And nobody's is answering to anything! + What kind of cold hearted motherfuckers would just leave us out here to die? + Don't you get it? They're dead. They are all dead. + Yeah, you're right. + How can you be so calm about this shit? We are dying! + How much air have you guys got? + Twenty minutes, tops. + Hey, I'm in red. Seconds away before the CO2 gets me. + Strasky... + Why wait, right? I'm the master of my own fate. + Wait, Strask, what are you doing? + *drowning* + Hart! No! + *Booooom!* + What happened? What did she do?! + Come on we got to get her out of there! + Holy shit, Hart blew up the O2 surplus -- she sealed the tunnel. + She really didn't want Akers following us to Omicron. + Ah shit, she's fucking hurt. + Her suit is leaking. + We have to get her to Omicron. + Shit, it's bad. Real bad. + No, fuck! No--! + I'm not getting anything. I can't read him like the others. + Any idea who this is? + Not really. Not that familiar with the people at Omicron. + Catherine? + What? + There you are. + Where are we? + We're right next to Omicron -- a smaller building connected to the main site. Can't you tell? + No, my view is pretty limited -- there's some heavy restrictions on my system access. + Did you find a Power Suit? + Not yet. Trying to figure out how to get into Omicron -- the big building. + Oh, okay. Keep up the good work. + That's it? You got nothing? + Good luck? + Thanks. + Cath, how are you so okay with all this? + With what? + Being a talking box for one thing -- not being human. + It's not so bad. + So, you are not bothered at all by not having a body? + I'm getting there. You're making me feel really self-conscious. + Come on, be serious. + I never felt that comfortable being human in the first place. This isn't much worse. + Not being able to move would freak me out. Glad you got the box and not me. + Would make it a little easier to help out if I had a body, but you're doing a good job. + Just figured being able to stretch a little would give you some ease. + My physical constraints don't translate to my experience very well. I feel about as human as before, but as if suspended in air. Which is kind of interesting, now that I think about it. + Cath, why do you think I was made? Why would this AI -- the WAU -- bring me here? + I don't think we could ever know. I have my own beliefs, but nothing that can be verified. + Tell me, why do you think the WAU brought me here? + The WAU had a range of assignments, but they all sprung from one single idea: preserve humanity. + When the comet hit the earth, killing everything, leaving a fraction of humanity left alive, the WAU started to compensate. + It's restoring humanity? + I think so. But I don't think we share its definition of human... or life for that matter. + Catherine, are we alive? + That's an impossible question to answer. We lack meaningful definitions. + I just figured there must be a way to know -- to know if this life is worth living. + You assume you've changed so much, but have you really? + I don't know. I don't feel so different, but the world sure does. + I never realized how much the idea of myself depended on where I am. + How do you mean? + I miss Toronto -- not because my friends and family are there, but because I know where I fit in. In Toronto I know who I am. + That's an interesting observation. + Herber, do we have any painkillers left? This tinnitus is becoming crippling. + Sorry. We only have heavy stuff left -- morphine level drugs. + I'll take it. Feels like my head is about to explode. + No can do, that's stuff for emergencies. + Besides Cameron thinks the ringing will settle when JR reaches 100%. + Then tell them to hurry the fuck up. + Should be a matter of hours. Just hang in there. + Keep me posted. + Yeah, well... I have this thing I need to take care of... So, I'll talk to you later, okay? + Sure thing, Herb. + Hold on. + Listen. + I got something. + What's that? + Oh, here we go. + Hang on. + It must have overloaded his blackbox. + Humans have blackboxes? + Here we do -- company policy. + It records your vitals to help medical personnel treat you in case of accidents. + That's how I can hear the dead. + Huh? Right, you should be able to datamine blackboxes. Just like the intercom at Theta. + There has to be way to cancel the lockdown. Have a look around the room. + Did you do that, Catherine? + What? + Nevermind. + Something wants us to come inside. + And we want to go inside. What's the problem? + The world is dead, Richard. + Even if we got inside Omicron, what's left? Grab a couple of suits and head for Tau? + Strasky, Jonsy, Hart -- everyone is dead and we are right behind them. + We're probably the last people left alive. The last moments of mankind. + No oxygen left. Better sit down. Don't want to fall into the abyss. + There are worse ways to die... probably. + Why do they call you M? + Huh? Oh. It's for Emma. + Emma Alvaro? I like that. That's a good name. + We shoulda hung out more. I think we woulda made good friends. + Thanks. I would have liked that. + Good bye, Emma. + Bye... + What does this do? + Whatever. + I don't know. + Better not mess with it. + Right. Power panel. Always useful. + Whoa, better be careful. + Where am I going? This isn't safe. + This better be the right way. + Where'd you go? + Just doing some exploring. + Are you hearing that glitched noise? + Yeah, what is that? + Oh, the terminal just lit up. + Okay. That's different. + Is this supposed to mean something? + I think I solved it. + Solved what? + Why do I get the feeling that we just got lured into the back of a van? + What're you talking about? + Looks like this place is running on reserves. There's no need for that, Upsilon is producing plenty of power. See if you can get it back up. + Get the power running again. + Omicron has quarantined itself and locked everything out. See if you can't cancel the lockdown from the terminal. + Try canceling the lockdown from the terminal. + Seems like we need a code to cancel the lockdown. Have a look around and see if you can find it. + Look around for a code to cancel the lockdown. + We still need a code to cancel the lockdown. There's some strange signals passing through the system -- I think someone might be trying to contact us. Check the terminal on the other side of the room. + Check the terminal on the other side of the room. + All right, let's find Omicron. + *static* + I got it. I just guessed the code! + Omicron retracted the quarantine shutters. Lockdown canceled! + Come on, let's get going. + This is Omicron? Hope they saved me a diving suit. + + + + Is this Omicron? Everything is so basic, so limited. I hope it's not the omnitool falling apart. + Okay, we need to find you a Power Suit, you know -- so we can go in to the abyss without ending up like a recycled can of soda? + You think we'll find one that fits me? I mean I'm kind of in a suit already. + That's been bothering me too. + You know how you were transferred from Vancouver... + Toronto. + From then to now. + How could I forget? + Okay, so we do it again. + You want to send me to the future? + No, you idiot... I want to transfer your mind into a new body. + What? + Look, we already know it can be done. We don't need to make it a big deal. + It is a big deal, Cath! It's a huge fucking deal. + There's gotta be something else that can take us down there... + The DUNBAT at Theta was the only vessel that could take that pressure and you saw what happened. + Then think of something else! + Simon, please. You don't have to switch this instant. Just play along for now. If we find something else, then great... if not... + I'm not promising anything. + Thank you, Simon. Have a look around the room. This is where they would keep the Power Suits. If there are any left. + Oh, god. Nice. I found one of the Power Suits. + There's a dead woman inside -- at least I think it's a woman. Just like the body we found in the annex, she's missing her head. + Gross. This could work in our favor though. Look for a terminal nearby and see if you can boot it up. + Not exactly Grade A material. + Don't write it off just yet. + Remember what we found out at Theta, the suit you are "wearing" is basically just a cortex chip working a few pints of structure gel, powered by the on-suit battery pack. + And a dead colleague, Imogen Reed. + Exactly. If you think about it, we're actually incredibly lucky. We found a suit with an already dead body inside. + I guess you're right. + What about the WAU, what makes you think it'll play along? + It's not magic. It's algorithms -- a set pattern. The WAU won't be able to deny us. Even if it was capable of wanting to. + I'm still not crazy about this plan. It feels wrong. + Please, Simon. I can't give up on the ARK. I need this to work. + So we need a cortex chip, structure gel, and a battery pack. That's one hell of a shopping list. + Thanks. I'll just hang around here, if that's okay. + I'll be back. + Some of these labs looks promising. You think there's anything here we could use? + Keep your eyes open for structure gel. Wouldn't be surprised to find a vat somewhere. + Looks like a service station for robots. + The perfect place to find yourself a brain. + We're still talking about a computer chip, right? + Of course. + I got the cortex chip. + Good job, Simon. + I can't believe we're doing this. + It will be fine. + Then why don't we put you in the suit? + I was going to suggest that if you refused. + You'd go without me? + I need to do this, Simon. This is important. I need to launch the ARK. + You'd really do it -- change body? + Yes. + If you want to stay here, I'm not going to stand in your way. I don't want to tell you what to do. + Will it be like before? Close my eyes and then... + ...and then open them again. + All right. Let's do it. + Thank you, Simon. + Go sit in the Pilot Seat in the next room. You might need to boot it up. + That's everything. You can climb into the Pilot Seat now. + Already? + I have everything under control. So please... have a seat. + Sorry about any discomfort, this should be over soon. + Just like having your picture taken. + But with the most expensive camera in the world. + You know, Indians thought photos would steal their souls. + In this case, they'd be right. + Ok, one more time. + Here we go. + Copy completed. + I know it's not real, but I actually feel kind of queasy. Did everything go as planned? Catherine? + Catherine, why am I still...? + Did you get all of it? + Copy Completed. + There must be something wrong. Can't you run a diagnosis or something? Catherine... + What was that? + No, I... it's just... + Why was it still talking? + It's the same. Like before. + Catherine. Why was he still talking? + That's how it works. You know that. + What do you mean?! + You know it's not magic. You were copied. The sleeping Simon in the seat was copied... and now you are here. Just like Simon lived on in Toronto. + Goddamn you Cath. Two Simons? There can't be two Simons! + What did you think would happen?! + That you were going to take my mind and put it in to the other body. Like a brain transplant. + I'm sorry. It wouldn't work that way. + You realize how messed up this is? + Please, I didn't mean to upset-- + How did you expect me to react to this shit? + Please, stop. + You're fucking disgusting! + What's going to happen to him? + He'll sleep for a while. A few days. + And then what, wake up in this fucking nightmare again? + All alone. + So cruel. + Well, what do you want to do with him? Make friends? Let him know that we have to leave him behind when we go into the abyss? + What if... what if he didn't need to wake up? + You'd do that? + I don't know.... maybe. + There. I set it up for you. Hit the switch if you want to drain his battery. He'll die within a minute. + I'd rather not stay plugged in any longer. + Control Chip Malfunction. It won't open. + I'm sure you can fix it somehow. Just look around the room. + I got all the gel we'll ever need. + All right. We're making good time. + What are you doing? + I just want to try something. + Remember to look for a battery pack. We need it to power the suit. + Cath? Still there, Cath? Don't worry. I'll find a battery pack. + Cath, I got the battery pack. + Perfect! That's everything, come back, we'll build the body. + What..? We have everything we need. I'll head back. + Cath, I got a battery pack. + Perfect! We can power the suit. + Catherine? If you can hear this, I'll keep going. + We need to get you a new cortex chip -- just like the ones you find inside robots -- so we can store your brain. + Hey, the system just opened up a little. + I was just trying something. Surprised it actually worked. + Good job. You should be able to access more of Omicron now. + Shut the door Cath, lock it up! + What's happening? + Lock the door! + It's locked. What's going on? + Managed to piss off another one of WAU's monsters. + We have everything we need right? + Yeah, let's get to work. + I have no idea what I'm doing here. Does this look okay? + It's fine. Just shove it in there. + This is crazy. + Don't worry, it'll work. + Make sure it's all bunched together with the structure gel connecting all the parts. + Strasky? Are you there? + I hear you, Herbie, what's up? + Uh, just wanted to check in. I have to go do something. I might not be around for a few days, okay? + Raleigh Herber leaving the listening post? Must be important. + It is, Strask. It is. + Well okay then, stay safe. + Good bye, Peter. + Omicron, can you hear us? + Loud and clear. Everyone all right? + We will be as soon as we make friends with the Power Suits. + I'm sure you'll get used to it. + Hey, look at that. + Just wanted to check in before we pass the last working LUMAR probe -- Guys, any last words to Omicron? + Don't forget to pick us up. + You heard that right? + Don't worry. We won't forget. + All right, heading into radio silence. + Good luck, guys. + Tau, please respond. This is Raleigh Herber calling from Omicron. Please respond, Tau. + Unable to connect. LUMAR relay out of range. + Yeah, yeah. I get it. + Unable to connect. LUMAR relay out of range. + Don't forget -- we need a cortex chip, structure gel, and power pack to get the suit ready. + If there are any Power Suits left, they should be in the lockers. + What are you waiting for? Find a Power Suit and let's get on with this. + Simon? Look for a suit in the lockers. + Come on, let's activate the Power Suit. + What are you doing? We need to get the suit activated. + Don't waste time, Simon. Activate the Power Suit already. + All right. Try activating the suit from the terminal again. + Data capture failed. + What happened? + Need any help? + Sorry, just a bit rusty. Let's try that again. + For a moment there I thought I was stuck in this body. + We're good. Just need the right settings. + Go look for a robot cortex chip. + I'm sure you could steal the cortex chip from the robot you found downstairs. Try rejecting it with the diagnostics computer. + Use the computer downstairs, next to the robot, to reject the cortex chip. + We need about a vatful of structure gel to tie the body, the cortex chip, and the battery pack together. + Go look for structure gel. + That cabinet, the one with the broken opening mechanism. Maybe you can get it open somehow. + Get the locked cabinet open. + There has to be a power pack upstairs. Go look for one. + Go look for a power pack upstairs. + We need to find a power pack to keep your new body going. + Go look for a power pack. + We should make sure the power pack you found is fully charged. + Charge the power pack you found. + We have all the things we need. Time to apply them to the Power Suit in the locker. + You think the gel I got on this chip is enough to build the body? + No, try getting a big vat of it. + Hey, Andrea. + Yeah. + I was talking to Cameron about protein solubilization. Do you think we could break the aggregate in structure gel without flattening the configuration? + Jesus, that was a mouthful. You've been listening to Cameron, that's for sure. What do you want, Raleigh? + Can you blame me for trying to figure this out? I've been having the dreams too, you know. + I don't know what to believe. + Oh, I know. Everything from the sudden signal amplification in Blackboxes, to having a comatose Dr Ross locked up in a glass jar. We've all been going a bit nuts. + Tell me about it, feels like my head's about to explode. + Hypothetically speaking, could we stop the WAU from mutating? + It doesn't work like that. + ...even if there was a site Alpha? + Hypothetically speaking, I guess we could try-- Raleigh, are you recording this? + Sorry... I just... sorry... + *fumbling* + There's no way I can open this with my hands. + There are options to brute force, Simon. + But none as fun. + ...it's not something you really want to get comfortable with. + That's funny. That's really funny, Julia. + What's going on? + Am I that transparent? + What do you want, Raleigh? + We're friends right? + Yes. + Do you think Alpha is real? + What makes you... why would you ask that? + I think Ross is trying to tell me something. + About site Alpha? + He wants me go down the abyss and find it. Crazy, right? You've been down there. I just thought you could talk some sense into me. + Raleigh, I'm not at liberty to... I can't talk about that. + What? + *alarm* + Use the parts you found with the Power Suit in the locker. + Go sit in the Pilot Seat. + Stop messing around and sit down in the Pilot Seat. + Ah, give me another chance, I can do this. Get back into the seat. + Get back in the Pilot Seat. + Let's find that suit and get out. + Come on we need to get a Cortex Chip, a battery pack, and some structure gel. + Look for a Cortex chip, a battery pack, and some structure gel. + Simon, don't forget to charge the battery pack. + All right, got it. + I got a cortex chip from a robot. Seemed to be working for him before I pulled it. + Excellent. + I need you to activate the Power Suit from the terminal. + Activate the Power Suit from the terminal. + Sit down, Simon. + You need to stop it. + It's important. + Poison the well. + I'll follow you there. + We need to loop back the activity manifested by your current cortex chip, run it through the amplifier, feed it into the new chip, and then make sure it's synched. + You lost me halfway there. + You don't really need to understand it, just make them line up. + That's everything, right? Guess we can build the new body now. + Yep. Come back and we'll get started. + Johan Ross was found dead on the climber this morning. + The ARK team went down a couple of days ago, but I see no reason to suspect them playing a part in his death. + The climber can't be operated from the abyss so there was a scheduled retrieval. The climber returned with only the lifeless body of Alpha member Johan Ross. + No traces of the ARK team. + Cameron, Eames, Lansky -- all studying the body inside containment. I'll follow up with whatever they find. + Delenda est. + The WAU has been getting more aggressive -- pushing all systems to their limits. + Ironically the dead Dr Johan Ross would be the perfect person to ask why the WAU is making such a big buzz about his passing. + After all, the WAU isn't supposed to want anything, and definitely not to mourn people. + The system overload affects the staff considerably -- headaches, loss of sleep, unwarranted stress. And it seems to be getting worse. + I could use some advice, if you can get through. + Delenda est. + Things are out of hand. The staff looks like they are about to explode. + Every other person walks around with nosebleeds and the rest keep wiping stains of blood from their eyes to keep them from overflowing. + It's to do with the WAU trying to free Ross somehow, for sure. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the body just got up and left. + Raleigh Herber, our dispatcher, has been snooping around asking questions she shouldn't. + She says she's going down the abyss to find Alpha. I can't bring myself to stop her. + Aaaargh! + The blackbox is broken -- think it's missing a part. + Just like the guy in the annex. + We need to assemble your new body with the things you collected. Just stuff all of it into the suit with the dead body. + Stuff the chip, the battery pack, and the gel into the Power Suit. + *static* + Something caused these blackboxes to explode. + Looks like it happened to everybody. + Looks like a device on the back of the neck exploded. + Some neck device definitely exploded. Took the head right off. Gross. + It came back to life -- or something like it. + Get away from me. + Go away. + Stay away. + Don't come any closer. + Go. + Get away from me. + Go away. + Stay away. + Don't come any closer. + Go. + Go away. + Leave. + Leave me alone. + Stay away. + Go. + Go away. + Leave. + Leave me alone. + Stay away. + Go. + Go away! + Go! + Get away from me! + Stay away! + Leave me alone! + Go away! + Go! + Get away from me! + Stay away! + Leave me alone! + + + + It's dumb luck, right? That I woke up in the right body? + I basically flipped a coin and if I had called the wrong side I'd be rotting away at Omicron. + I mean, there's no way to know, right? You didn't hit the "make sure Simon wakes in the right body" switch, did you? + Not that you would know, I mean he would still claim to be the right Simon. + Christ! This is awful. We did an awful fucking thing. + And you wouldn't mind, why would you? How could you know that it's not me, the me that I am! The same that I've always been. + Please say something, I don't want to think. Please. + I don't know what to say. I don't want to upset you. + Say anything. + When I was little I used to climb the stairs all the way to the top of the building. + I can still feel how I had to -- you know -- tuck my arm up so I could push the heavy steel door open. + Well, the first time that I dared go up there, I stepped out onto the roof and watched the smog rise and fall over Taipei. + I got all up on the corner ledge and you know, I felt the warm wind in my hair. The sun was setting and the streets below were shadowed by the tall buildings. + The people pushing through the crowd flowed like paint from an artist's brush. Street food vendors filled the air with aromas of all my favorite foods. + For a brief moment I felt connected to the world in a way I never had before. It was the most profound feeling of comfort and sense of belonging I could ever hope for. + I really never felt the same way again, but I went up to the roof many times after. + I'm not religious, but I can see why people would be. The privilege of being makes a strong case. At least every once in a while. + Do you still feel that sense of awe? Even like this? + Things are different, but we're still here. + What's the point of going on? Everyone's gone. + All the people still left are digital copies trapped in computers at the bottom of the sea. We'll never be able to rebuild or reclaim what we were. + Are you really so unhappy being what you are or is this about the man who went for a scan a hundred years ago? + Both, I guess. + When I was back in Toronto, even the worst case, the darkest futures I could predict, they at least included my previous life somehow. + I feel so uprooted. There's nothing here that I recognize, nothing that makes me feel like I belong. Even if we make it to the ARK, would it be any different? + I'd still be alone. No friends, no family. + You could make new friends. I'm sure everyone would like to know the time traveler. If not, you still have-- + --me. I know it's not much, but-- why have we stopped moving? + The power blacked out for moment. Thinking it could be the atmospheric pressure. + It's pushing pretty hard. Really testing the limits of my suit. + Don't worry. It should hold. + Comforting. + It will hold. + Does... does time freeze when you're not powered? + Time feels omitted more than anything. + What's the difference? + I don't feel like I'm being held back or hindered. And I don't have the opportunity to reflect on the time I'm missing. It's simply missing. + Sounds like sleeping, without the dreaming. + Yes, but generally you anticipate when you're about to sleep and there's a natural continuation since we tend to wake up where we went to sleep. + My experience is more like an ever-changing moment that never really seems to find closure. + Sounds kinda like a movie being edited live. + I suppose so. I guess it sounds exciting, but it really keeps me activated to the point of exhaustion. + Rough. + Could be worse. I could be a time traveler stuck in a body made from black goo. + That would be the worst. + Are we done here? + Yeah. + Activate the climber, please. + Sure thing. + Take a seat and we'll be off. + Strap in, it'll get bumpy. + You need to sit down, it's not safe to stand. + It's not just a safety suggestion, the climber won't move until you sit down. + You did it. You did it! I will make preparations. + Have we figured out what happens when we die yet? Is that even possible? + If there's some kind of afterlife, do you think my place is taken? + The real me died like a hundred years ago. Is there still room for me? And what about the Simon I killed at Omicron? + What do you think, Catherine, is there a heaven full of redundant copies of the same people? Is there someone up there who'd call me an impostor? + I thought about killing him, Catherine. The Simon we left at Omicron, thought he'd be better off dead. + He's a redundant copy. He'll never experience my journey -- the full journey. He wouldn't understand. How could he? + But I couldn't do it and you knew it. You were right in trying to hide him from me. + I only wish you'd done a better job. + Catherine? + Cath? Hello, Catherine? What happened? + What is that? + You picking up something? + + + + Jesus, did you see that? + Stick to the lamplights, they won't go near them. + I can't fail, Glasser. It's important I reach Omicron. Our future depends on it! + Calm down. Let's just follow the path. + If I die, I need you to tell Julia Dahl that the WAU is out of control. She needs to get to Sarang. He'll know what to do. + Ross, you can tell them yourself. We just need to pick up the pace, okay? + Glass. We lost the path! We need to go back. + I know where to go. Come on. + It's over there, the light is over there! + Final push, Ross. Almost there, we just... + Look out! + Oh, good. You're back. + What happened? + Something dropped on to the cage. Knocked you right out. + It spoke to me. + Looked like a man -- one of WAU's creatures. It just stared at you for a moment, then threw itself down the abyss. + It said it would make "preparations"? I don't like the sound of that. + It was very strange. I thought it was going to kill you for sure. Glad it didn't. + Yeah, me too. + Looks like we're closing in on the ocean floor. + Good, not sure the climber can take it much longer. + Okay, so this is the Omega sector, it's about an acre of the abyssal plain used by Pathos-II. I expect we'll have to do some walking before we reach Tau. + You haven't been here before? + Not in a way that will help us. + Right, the other you has been here. We're following in your old footsteps, Cath. + When I had footsteps. + You could still be down here somewhere, technically. + Don't remind me. Freaks me out. + All right, let's head for Tau and find that ARK. + Tau. Come in, Tau. Please answer, Tau. + Nothing. It's dead. + Let's move out. We'll try the next one. + Tau, can you hear this? Anyone there? + This is Tau. Who is this? + This is Ian Pedersen of Theta calling. I got a team with me and we're about half a kilometer from Tau. + What, how, how did...? You came in the Climber? + Listen, we're having a really hard time with this sector. + Heavy turbulence is making it difficult to move forward and the wildlife you got is absolutely rabid. + The storm comes and goes. Instruments show the weather is relatively fair right now. You should move out as soon as possible. + Stick to the lights and the critters should leave you alone. + All right, you heard the man. We're moving out, people. + Tau. Keep the doors unlocked, we're coming in. + + + + Welcome to Tau -- what's left of it. + Are you guys all right? What happened here? + We ran out of real food long ago. People have been getting sick. + Haven't heard from anyone in months. + No shit, they all think you're dead down here. Some failed evac story circulating at Omicron. + Oh, god. + Listen, son. We're on an important mission and we need your help to operate the Omega Space Gun. + When it's done we can all head back up the plateau, but now we need to get moving. + Of course. Head on through to the habitat, we've shut off the front section to preserve power. + All right, see you soon. + Go away, WAU. Not letting you or your stupid pets inside. + Are you human? + Sarah Lindwall, payload technician at your service. A rare sight, am I right? + I'd say so. You're the first normal living human I've seen. + There's not many left down here. Most of them are up on the plateau. + You mean at Omicron? + Yeah. + There's no one alive at Omicron. + You've been there? + I've been all over. The power plant at Upsilon, the ruins of Lambda, the abandoned Delta. Theta... + You've been to Theta? + There's not a lot left of Pathos-II. + And I'm the only living person you've met? *cough* You mean I'm the last living human on the planet? + I'm sorry. + Who are you again? + Simon Jarrett. + Stationed at? + Nowhere. I used to work at a book shop in Toronto. Long story. + Then what the hell are you doing here? + I'm trying to find the ARK. + Why would you? How do you know about that? + I've heard it's the last hope for mankind. + Damn right it is! Now what do you want with it? + Take it to the gun at Phi. Launch it into space. + That was the plan all right. I've been guarding it ever since we brought it back to Tau. Just couldn't bring myself to let go. + Tell you truth, I don't have the strength to argue. And I certainly don't have the time to wait for the next sentient thing shuffling through here. Go ahead. Take it. + Thank you. Can I get you anything? Do anything for you? + You could kill me. + Heh, good one. + You serious about me killing you? + No, I'd love to hang around here until I dry up to the size of a raisin. + Simon, this fucking sucks. *cough* I don't want to live like this. + Shouldn't we be doing something to keep you alive? + Why? + You're the last human. I just find it disrespectful to our entire history not to fight this. Sure we have the ARK, but you're the real deal. + Thanks. That's probably the best compliment I've ever got. But the truth is that the ARK is all we have. We'll have to accept second best, you know? + None of this feels right. + Simon, I want to die. + Sarah... + Just think about it. + Good luck, Simon. + Knock it out of the park. + Be careful. + Don't let me down. + Go ahead. Go save humanity. What's left of it. + Would you stay with me, please? + It won't be long now. Just... please just stay. + What a crazy thing this was -- life. + Least I won't have to turn thirty. Hurray. + Wish I coulda died at home with my friends. + You ever been to Greenland? It's very beautiful. + Well, at least when you get out of the city. + Nanoq is busy and, yes, there's like 12 million people trying to get around, but it's a great place. + Or rather. It was a great place. Before the comet ended it all. + You know what? I prefer it this way. + I liked Pathos. Liked my colleagues. Ian, Nick, Jasper, even Catherine. + People thought she was weird because she was quiet, but she was cool. + *breathes* + *breathes* + *breathes* + *breathes* + *breathes* + *breathes* + *breathes* + *breathes* + *breathes* + *breathes* + *breathes* + *breathes* + *breathes* + Thank you, for staying. + Please stay. + Please, don't leave. Not yet. + Simon, you still there? + I'm here, Sarah. + Don't let them die, okay? Send them out there. To the stars. + What the fuck did we do? + Hey, try not to think about it. + My whole life. I've been a good man. We messed up, Sarah. + There, there. + Should have launched. Taken the chance. + There's time. Ivashkin says we could try again, when things calm down. + You got to do it, you know? You got to. + *cough* + Sssh... + Aleksey. + Alek- + - sey + Lyoshka. + My boy. + Aleksey. + My... + ... boy. + Can't we do anything for him? + No. Were out of sedatives. If we had a gun, this would be the time to pull it out. + Did not expect it to end like this. Should have jumped the climber back to Omicron. + Without the ARK? + Forget about the ARK. + No, you don't get to say that. It's the only thing left of value. You know that. + Yeah, yeah. + Promise you won't leave it behind. + We'll all be dead one day, then what? + Well, better keep it safe until then. Don't want the WAU to take it; swallow it whole. + I... I'm sorry, Catherine. + It's okay, Ian. Just let it out. Let it all out. + Anyone there? + Not in the mood to talk to robots. No offense. + You... you're different. + Don't leave. Haven't figured out who you are yet. + What the hell is it doing? + WAU'll never get it right. + I'll be here if you need anything. + Be careful. + See you later. + Please don't leave me like this. + Take good care of it. They're counting on you. + The Blackbox is inactive. Probably found a way to switch it off. + Finally, Aleksey. + Don't mind me. + Go ahead, make yourself at home. + Nice suit. Used to have one just like it. + Can I help you with anything? + *sigh* + *sigh* + *sigh* + If I knew you'd come, I would have cleaned this place up a little bit. + I'm glad you came by. Good to get this over with. + I still can't believe I'm the last one. That's crazy. + *sigh* + *sigh* + *sigh* + *sigh* + *sigh* + *sigh* + *sigh* + We have to leave. + Move on, Simon. + There's nothing here. + It won't stop. + It will swallow everything. + We have to stop it. + Never been happier to be inside. + Now let's find the ARK. + No way I can climb a ladder while carrying the ARK like this. + Can't climb with the ARK. + Can't climb and carry the ARK. + Not while carrying the ARK. + Ah! I won't have to lug it to Phi. + What are you doing? What are you looking for? + Huh. Be my guest. I got no secrets worth keeping. + Argh... + Now what? Come on -- flood the room already! + Is this enough? Are there more. + *sigh* + The pattern has stopped evolving. The WAU has managed to find balance. I convinced SSE Wolchezk to turn off all external control systems making the WAU our de facto caretaker. So far it's exceeding expectations. + Since the comet crashed a few days ago -- January 12 -- the WAU has dropped to a low energy state. It hasn't abandoned its duties. It's keeping climate and life support going, but it has been simplifying the pattern -- redefining its protocol. + The WAU has started to grow physically. It's not just the core chamber, all around Pathos-II, Structure Gel is bursting through the pipes and bleeding through walls. I don't know what WAU could possibly stand to gain from this, but I assume it is intentional. + The heart of WAU has claimed such a large part of the core chamber that there can no longer be any question to its heightened awareness. Not only does its expansion suggest an unexpected understanding of space, but also its own physical manifestation within the world. + The WAU is reaching out to every machine, every life form, to manipulate, to control. It's trying to help, save its creators from all this, just like the protocol demands. But really, what is good enough? + Where is the line drawn for what is human and what is not? Would walking corpses do? Would a group of machines thinking they're human be acceptable? + We can't trust a machine to know, to understand what it means to be. We have to terminate the WAU-project. It can be done. I just need to get some help from Omicron. + Caution, airlock pressurizing. Stand clear. + + + + We're so close now. Hurry. + *Tunnel structure creaking loudly* + The hell is wrong with this place? + There's nothing to worry about -- just the Warden flexing his muscles. + The Warden -- you mean WAU? + Down here he has many names -- Warden, the Alpha... + Like in site Alpha? I thought that was made up. + Made up? Then someone should really fire Johan Ross. Tell him there's no reason to walk these tunnels no more. + *loud creak* + This section is going to collapse. + You should try spending some time in the abyss, sweetheart, you know when shit's for real. + Catherine? Move up. Come with me. + Oh, okay. + Hey, wait for me. + *another loud creak* + Careful with the ARK. + Take it easy, it's not going to-- + *loud creak right above Tsiolkovsky's head* + Whoa... for a moment I thought it was going to collapse. + *tunnel collapses* + We're so close. + Just tell me what you want. + I need you to stop the WAU. + What?! How? + The enslaved protein sloshing around your suit is the noose from which the WAU will hang itself. + What are you talking about? + As soon as I came to in Omicron. I tried to tell them to make the toxin that would make the WAU wither. + But they didn't understand. They put it inside a cabinet. It was so infuriating. They needed to take it to Alpha, the fountainhead of the misery we created. + And then the girl, she figured it out. She was going to take care of it -- but the WAU shrieked! + They all died -- but you, you! You took the gel from the cabinet and made yourself into a venomous snake. + You're saying this toxin inside of me can kill the WAU, altogether? + You are the snake, Simon. Now strike at the heart. + What the hell is that?! + The heart. It controls all the structure gel on Pathos-II. + All you need to do is poison the imprint and the heart will unwillingly spread it across Pathos-II. Killing it. + Feed it, Simon. Push your arm into the heart. + I'm sorry, WAU! I didn't mean to infect you! Please let me go. + WAU, you can have the earth -- I don't care. Just let me launch the ARK! + Argh!!! + Yes, yes. It's working, it's working! + Don't. + You have to do this, Simon. This is bigger than both of us. + Oh, god. + No, you can't leave. We're not done! + Stop! We need to finish this! + Get the fuck out of my way! + I won't let you ruin this! + If you don't finish this -- I'll make you. + Fine. Have it your way. + Come on, do it. + Can't let the WAU continue producing its filth. Kill it! + Take it easy. + Just force your arm inside it! + Back off, okay. + Please, Simon. + Don't let the earth be consumed by WAU's nightmares. + This is where it all went wrong, Simon. Site Alpha. + This is where we planted the seed to the cancer that's eating Pathos-II. + It wasn't meant to be like this. No one told us this could happen. + Please, Simon. Humanity will suffer -- for an eternity! + Please, I did what you wanted. + You did good, Simon. But you can't leave. + The only way to make sure the WAU stays dead is to destroy the only one who's immune to the new pattern. + Don't worry, I'll make it quick. + + + + Did you find out what happened to the ARK team? + Not really. For some reason they didn't go through with the launch, so they took the ARK back to Tau. + I hope everything is okay with the space gun. + Yeah, I doubt I'll be able to repair one of those. + Catherine, can you hear me? + I hear you. This is Phi. What happened to Tau? + A lot actually, but we're back on schedule now. + Christ, what the hell happened to your arm?! + It's complicated -- I just need to know one thing. I'll have both my arms in the ARK, right? + Yes, of course. + Are you okay, though? Can you... do stuff? + Yeah, let's just get this over with. + All right, Phi is up and running. + Did you find the ARK? + I did, but I kind of lost it on my way here, on an automated tram thing headed to Phi. So it should be around somewhere. + That's great. Let's go get it. + Are you suggesting we keep it down here? Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose? Eternity among the stars, remember? + The people inside the ARK won't know the difference. We can just keep it down here and we don't have to risk the ARK being shot through 5,000 meters of broken barrel and then pushed through another 100,000 meters of a dust-filled atmosphere. + Will the casing stand all that pressure? + Well, the odds aren't great! + Catherine, say something. + I don't care what you think, I'm launching it. + No need to be like that. Let's just hang on to it for a while and think about it. We can launch it later. + No, that wasn't the deal! We made it to save them, to launch it. Out there it's hope! Down here it's a fucking terrarium waiting to die with the rest of us. + Come on, Catherine. It's not asking much. Let's just think about it before we risk the only hope humanity has to survive this hell. + No! We launch it today. This is my project, my ARK! + It's bigger than that. Don't you get it?! It's not for you to decide. We're talking about the fate of mankind. + Get away from the ARK. I'm taking it! + No, you're not. + I'm not gonna let you ruin this! + Stop it! + Guys, calm down! + Get away from me! + No! + What the fuck did you do? + It was an accident. + Catherine, talk to me. Catherine? + This feels like the longest day of my life. + Has it just been one day? + I have no idea. Our time together is a confusing patchwork of moments to me. + What time is it, then, what day? + It's May 11, 2104 - 3:30 a.m. + But I don't remember when we started. + You know, I woke up in my bed today. It just happens to have happened a hundred years ago. + Sounds like a riddle. + It does. I woke up in my bed today -- a hundred years ago. Who am I? + Who am I? + It's crazy to think where I am. Not only is this the future, it's in the middle of the sea. + I know nothing of this time or what the world looks like. + Not much to brag about now. Before the comet, I guess it was okay. + Yeah, better not oversell it. Might change my mind about the ARK. + What will you do when you get into the ARK? What's the first thing? + Make sure the ARK is safe, stabilize flight path, activate solar panels-- + No, what's the first human thing you're gonna do? + Oh... Watch the clouds roll by? Does that count? + I'd say so. + Oh god, Catherine. + Did you say something? + It's you. You had an accident. + What do you? Oh, you mean Catherine. + Don't worry. It's better this way. + How did she die? + You got into a fight with your colleagues. They didn't want to risk launching the ARK. Thought it might not make it through the atmosphere. + They killed me? + I'm sure it was an accident. They were just trying to stop you from launching. + How could they kill me? + Catherine... + I know I'm not an easy person to like. I just thought they trusted me. + Come on, don't do this to yourself. + Did you have friends in Toronto, Simon? Real friends? + There were some: Jesse, Sean... Kevin. + I always wanted a friend -- like a real one. Someone you'd never hold back with. + I'll be your friend. + Oh, pity friendship? Now I feel even worse. + Do you think the ARK will make it through the atmosphere and into space? + It almost doesn't matter anymore. We just need to try. If we burn, we burn. If we're lucky we just gave humanity a new chance -- a whole new era. + With the ARK on earth, maybe we have a few decades of power to keep it running, in space we have thousands of years. + Still, one hell of a gamble, though. + This was never about certainty, it's about hope. + Now what? + Now we just need to get the shell into the gun and then -- Kaboom! + Aren't you forgetting something? How are you going to get us on board the ARK? Don't we need to make another scan? + Oh, don't you worry. You don't operate something like the Omega Space Gun with your bare hands. + You mean... it's a Pilot Seat? Like back at Omicron? + Yes, and we can use it to transfer you to the ARK while operating the gun. Two birds and all that. + Now take the omnitool and plug it in next to the seat and I'll guide you through the final steps. + Whoa... I'll never get used to that. + Guess you won't have to. Not after this is over. + Right. Have a seat. + Comfortable? + As good as it's going to get. + Okay, I'll activate the seat. You should be able to use the machines to load the bullet you assembled. + There we go. + What are you waiting for? + Just bracing myself. + Well, push the button when you're done. + Here we go. No turning back. + What's the matter with the upload? + Just give it a second. + Thought you guys would have better bandwidth in the future. + You gotta be kidding me! + Come on, load! + Yeah!!! Yes. Fuck yeah, we made it! Ha-ha! Woo! + I'm still here...? I'm still here. + Catherine? Catherine?! + I'm here. + What the hell happened -- what went wrong? + Nothing. They're out there, among the stars. We're here. + No, we were getting on the ARK. I saw it. It finished loading just before it launched. + Yeah, I saw. + Then why are we still here? + Simon. I can't keep telling you how it works; you won't listen. You know why we're here, you were copied on to the ARK, you just didn't carry over. You lost the coin toss. We both did. Just like Simon at Omicron, just like the man who died in Toronto a hundred years ago. + No no no, this is bullshit! We came all this way. We launched the ARK! + I know it sucks, but our copies are up there. Catherine and Simon are both safe on the ARK, be happy for them. + Are you crazy? We're going to die down here, with those fuckers living it large on a spaceship! They are not us! They're not us! + I'm sorry you feel that way, Simon. I'm proud of what we did. We made sure that something of the hundreds of thousands of years of human history survived -- that something lives on. + No, no, no, fuck this! Fuck! Fuck this, fuck you! Fuck you, Catherine. You lied. And I believed in you, I trusted you. You said we're getting on the fucking ARK! + We are on the ARK, you idiot! I didn't lie! I can't be responsible for your goddamn ignorance, you fucki- + Fuck!!! + Catherine? + Please don't leave me alone. + Catherine -- Catherine?! + How do you operate this thing? + Don't know, I've never tried this one. But Pilot Seats are notoriously easy to use, so it shouldn't be a problem. + Okay. Ready when you are. Just hit the button and we're off. + But we need to transfer our minds to the ARK. + We also need to make sure it launches at all, so I tied them to a single switch. Just push the button and we're off. + You okay? + Yeah, it's just crazy thinking about what we're doing -- ditching earth. + Boggles your mind, doesn't it? + Come on, Simon. Let's get going. Push the button. + Deep breaths, Catherine. Soon we'll be among the stars. + Let's hope so. + Thank you, Simon. + Don't mention it. + It's an amazing thing you did and I want you to know I appreciate it. + T minus 30 seconds + Time 20 seconds + Ten seconds + Nine + Eight + Seven + Six + Five + Four + Three + Two + One + Launching. + All right, found the ARK. + Good job, Simon. Now we just need to find the assembly space so we can stuff the ARK into a shell. + Here it is, we got the ARK back! + Good job, Simon. Take it to the assembly space and load the bullet. + I think I found the assembly space. + What do you see? + It's like a huge open shell, a bullet -- ready to be loaded. + That's great! All prepared for the ARK. + On it. + Right, I'll go pick it up. + Is that it? + I'm really not that familiar with guns of any size-- Oh, here we go. All systems say go! + Lock and load. + Come back up and we'll head out to the gun. + This has to be Phi, right? Hope the ARK made it here in one piece. + How am I supposed to...? I can't climb with the ARK. + Do I really need to get the ARK up there? + Not sure I need to take the ARK upstairs. + I don't even wanna try climbing with the ARK. + You seriously not going to tell me what happened to your arm? + I had to make a quick stop at site Alpha to help kill the WAU. + What? How? Why? + To stop it from torturing the memory of humanity. + Okay, let's just get back to work. + A satellite is loaded into a shell. + The shell is accelerated by electromagnets along the barrel. + Enough momentum to escape earth's gravity is gained before egression. + Reaching space the satellite will shed the shell and unfold. + On-board thrusters settle the satellite into an orbit. + + + + Whoa. Is this? Did it work? + This is amazing. + It feels so real. + I can't believe it worked. + Yes, we did it! + Catherine? + Hey you. Have a seat. + Come on, sit with me. + Sit, Simon. + Sit down already. + This is really real. I mean it's so lifelike. + Thank you. I'm glad you like it. + I mean this is the ARK, right? + Yeah, what else would it be? + Then we really made it. I know it was supposed to be a paradise, but it's... + ...so much better than Pathos? + That's an understatement. So are we okay? + Yes. We are safely orbiting the sun. + Is everyone all right? + Brandon is here, if that's what you meant. + What about Lindwall? + Sarah? She's here. + So you don't need me to do anything anymore? + Well, you can look over there. + Where? + Over there. + Where? + The other side of the lake. + Uh, I'm not sure where I'm supposed to look. + *sigh* Keep trying, genius. + What is that? + It's the city we're building. + Any room for me? + Yes, there is. + Let's go there. + Come on.
