00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:11.759
Oh my god, are you serious? Why? Why you? This can't
2
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:16.000
be happening. Okay, okay,
Look it's only for eight years, and
3
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:18.879
once I get back, there's going
to be a ton of new science for
4
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:22.760
the Particle Club. I could make
a real difference. Anything could happen out
5
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:27.399
there. Why would you volunteer to
leave everything behind and all of us who
6
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:31.359
care about you? What's wrong with
you? I want to make a difference.
7
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:37.000
I feel I don't know, stalled
out. I don't have any ambitions
8
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:41.280
here. I gotta do this.
I want to see it. I need
9
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:44.359
to say that I did this.
There has to be more than this.
10
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:49.320
So we don't mean anything to you. How is this possible? How can
11
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:53.600
we convince you to stay? Oh
my god, I think you need to
12
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:59.600
sleep on this sun. This feels
like a mistake. It was right,
13
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:06.599
I should have thought it out more. There was a lot of apprehension,
14
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:12.280
sure, but was it enough to
stop me? No, not even close.
15
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:19.879
I was gonna see it for myself. I just didn't know the cost
16
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:38.959
beginning crime of sequence. Recent God, Stephen, you may feel disoriented.
17
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:48.799
You can say that again, Stephen, Can you confirm that you hear me?
18
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:07.959
Sensors indicate all drugs have left your
system? Are you experiencing lightheadedness?
19
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:12.120
Give him some time, he's only
just coming around. What the fuck,
20
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:22.319
pooh? Who the fuck are you? That is a great question, one
21
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:27.439
that I will try my best to
answer. Alice is how are you here?
22
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.680
Are you a stowaway? What the
fuck is this? No? I
23
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.759
stopped in nine months or so ago, but you were already asleep, So
24
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:39.360
I plan to visit again when you
were awake. You're kind of hard to
25
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:45.319
catch, Kelly. Am I hallucinating? Something has to be wrong? This
26
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:49.680
can't be right. Sensors indicate that
old drugs have left your system. Are
27
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:53.360
you experiencing light headedness? No,
there's a man standing here. Can you
28
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:59.159
see him? Sensors indicate presents of
two passengers. I do not have second
29
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:05.159
passengers identification on cod You are a
stowaway? Do you realize how much trouble
30
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:08.520
you're in? Not to mention how
far from home we are? You were
31
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:15.759
home? No? Where are you
from? What? I live on?
32
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:25.479
Mars Triteria City, Mars Ah,
Yes, I remember that one. Fascinating.
33
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.439
I had no idea you all were
this far along. I haven't been
34
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:34.919
there in so long? All right, I need you to back up.
35
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:40.360
Okay, stand back, all right, I didn't mean to get back Kelly.
36
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:45.840
Who the hell is this guy?
I do not have the second passenger
37
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:51.400
on final not enough information to identify. Okay, okay, okay, you
38
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:53.800
stand back, Sit down right there? God, I don't even know what
39
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:59.599
to do. How did you survive
the trip? Where did you survive the
40
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.080
trip? Oh? Well, I
didn't make the same trip that you did.
41
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:09.439
I came here from well where I
think you're going. Look the cloud?
42
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:13.360
Are you insane? You have to
be if you think I'll believe that.
43
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:19.160
I don't feel insane, Collie,
What does insane feel like? Not
44
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:23.319
enough information? No, Callie,
stop, don't talk to him? Well
45
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:29.040
that seems harsh. I came all
this way to speak with you. You're
46
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:32.399
an angry being, aren't you?
Only? When unknown insane people show up
47
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:36.360
light years into a trip? How
did you expect this to go? Well?
48
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:42.279
I don't know. I thought we'd
have a grand conversation, a discussion
49
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:47.000
discussing what well the design mostly,
but also I'd love to catch up with
50
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:54.959
you, ask you questions about your
species and planets. It is two planets
51
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:58.399
now, right? The hell are
you saying you think you're an alien.
52
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:01.600
There's plenty of you loons at home. How did you get on this ship?
53
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:05.879
Well, for me, it was
easy. I willed myself here you
54
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:11.680
were asleep, as I said,
then willed myself back to where I was.
55
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:16.480
I almost forgot to come back.
I get sidetracked when I'm working,
56
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:26.720
working on what, creating, creating
what worlds? It's my industry, you
57
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:31.959
see. I create worlds of all
shapes and sizes, and I have so
58
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:39.519
much more space to fill. I
will be working for a long time before
59
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:45.000
I'm finished. It is amazing,
though, to see one of you progress
60
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.480
so far. I am impressed.
So the way you think your God,
61
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:58.560
I don't know the word. Does
it mean creator? According to some yes,
62
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:03.480
all right, and yes that fits. This is insanity. I have
63
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:08.680
to be dreaming. There's no way
you can be here. You were dreaming
64
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:15.600
about your parents? Did you ever
make peace with them about your choice?
65
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:21.040
How the hell could you possibly know
that I watched the dream as it happened.
66
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:25.720
I almost forgot to come back,
as I said, but I did
67
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:30.759
arrive early. Is it rude to
see your dreams? If so, I
68
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:36.879
apologize. This is crazy. You
watched my dreams? Do you know how
69
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:42.839
insane this sounds. I can see
it was a violation of your privacy.
70
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:48.759
I do apologize. I had to
watch your dreams to understand your language.
71
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:54.079
Though, Kelly, I need to
send a message back. We have a
72
00:06:54.079 --> 00:07:00.319
stowaway and this person has clearly lost
his mind. Please advise as soon as
73
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:06.600
possible sending message. That's a ten
day round trip for a reply, right,
74
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:14.319
So what shall we do in the
meantime? Well, I was thinking
75
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:18.839
about putting you in the cargo hold, but you feel bad doing it.
76
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:24.720
Huh? You pick that one up? Huh habit. I'm sorry. I
77
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:29.240
would like to put you at ease, but I'm not sure what it would
78
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:31.360
take. Okay, not much is
going to work, to be honest,
79
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:36.759
mister, this is a solo mission. Seeing another person out here isn't supposed
80
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:41.519
to happen, so you have to
forgive me that. I'm all nerves right
81
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:46.160
now. Of course, I didn't
think this out like I should have.
82
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:54.600
I've often worked on impulse, though
it's always worked out until now. I
83
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:58.680
mean, well, you don't seem
like the crazy, violent type, so
84
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.360
as long as you stay where I
can see you, we won't have any
85
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:07.639
problems. You try anything, and
I swear to God, that's pretty funny.
86
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:15.240
Oh right, fine, what do
you want to talk about? Why
87
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.480
would God come all the way out
here to meet up? There's a couple
88
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.000
planets full of people back home,
you know. Well, I have never
89
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:28.639
gotten a visitor in my neck of
the woods before. I find this extremely
90
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:33.240
entertaining. Your neck of the woods, what heaven? If that means home,
91
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:39.519
then sure, I'm often out here
working on what I can. I
92
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:45.720
go farther, but I have my
favorite spots, so to speak. And
93
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:54.159
you just make planets. Planets happen
over time. I set the motions going.
94
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.960
Stars are amazing to work on.
Some of the larger ones spin up
95
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:05.399
many planets, others only a few. I do what I can to influence
96
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:11.320
them and try to get the most
out of them. Matter is amazing.
97
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:18.639
You seem way too preoccupied to be
a heavenly creator. You check me for
98
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:24.879
sins. Sure, I have a
bunch. I only vaguely understand that word.
99
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:30.480
I don't really have much interest in
how you live. I'm glad you
100
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:35.960
are alive, of course, but
I don't really need to see what you're
101
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:39.279
up to on a day to day
basis. See that seems odd, because
102
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:45.879
every culture and religion on Earth and
Mars is focused on what you command,
103
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:52.879
So you're not really lining up with
the stories back home. That sounds incredibly
104
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:58.799
dull. Do you all still do
that? A lot of folks do.
105
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:03.799
Yeah. Oh man, you should
see some of the others. They are
106
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:09.559
pretty far ahead of you all in
this regard. How's your planets doing?
107
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:15.879
Are they healthy? Well? One
is in pretty bad shape. The other
108
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:24.360
I'm sure is following close behind.
What how is that possible? I remember
109
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:30.039
there being one healthy planet when I
left. Well, it was heading towards
110
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:33.039
healthy, still in early stages at
the time, but the signs were there.
111
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:39.519
Well, we make stuff, were
industrious, We make a lot of
112
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.320
pollution, and we have some bad
habits of ruining parts of the world because
113
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:50.320
of it. That's a shame,
such potential too. And yet you are
114
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:56.960
out here. Are you really that
interested in the cloud? What? Yeah,
115
00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:01.559
all of the scientific community believes that
it's a fundamental element of the universe.
116
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.240
Oh well, then on that account, you're right, it definitely is.
117
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.679
Do you want to elaborate on that. I cannot believe I'm getting sucked
118
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:18.399
into this because inside you, you
subconsciously already know me and know I'm telling
119
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:22.519
you the truth. I wouldn't go
that far, but yeah, elaborate.
120
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:33.200
All right, Well, that cloud
you're looking at that is me? Uh,
121
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:39.799
it's you. I don't understand.
This body you see now isn't me
122
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:46.240
at all. I just made it
so I could interact with you on your
123
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:50.759
time, so to speak, on
my time. I don't understand. Well,
124
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:58.399
I know you understand the concept of
time, and that helps. Now
125
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:07.559
try to understand and this. I
don't use time at all. I can
126
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:13.960
move freely around or outside of it
now, being here in this body which
127
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:20.480
I made for myself. As I
said, I am experiencing time on your
128
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:28.039
terms. Material and immaterial things interact
with time and gravity differently. I'm sure
129
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:35.039
you could imagine. That's interesting.
All right, how abte? How do
130
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:39.759
you just create a body? Well? I create I watched you. I
131
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:46.039
studied you for months and decided I'd
make a body close to yours. I
132
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.480
can work outside of time, of
course, so it didn't take me nearly
133
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:56.519
as long to make this as yours
took you. So you just whipped up
134
00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:58.840
a suit, huh, In a
sense. I pulled the elements. I
135
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:03.759
The hardest part was water. I
had to pull that from elsewhere. This
136
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:09.799
body is not a natural occurrence,
so it won't be able to last for
137
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:13.279
more than a few months. More
than a few months, what happens after
138
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:20.440
that, the elements I've borrowed will
disperse. I wasn't building for longevity.
139
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:26.440
I just wanted this chance to speak
with you alone and so near to my
140
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:31.159
own area. Yeah, you said
that earlier. So you just hang out
141
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:35.720
here and create stuff. That's it. Well, I've been at it a
142
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:41.840
long time. Practice makes perfect.
I like to think I'm making a difference.
143
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:46.639
I was sporadic in earlier times.
I jumped all over the place,
144
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:52.840
spinning up stars and worlds. It
was fun. The beginning was the hardest.
145
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:58.440
I had to talk it all into
working. Yeah, talk it into
146
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:03.240
working. Well, Yes, the
fundamental principles of matter and density were a
147
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:07.639
lot different. I had to program
it all to work. So I figured
148
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:13.240
the best easiest way to do it
was to gather all of it up in
149
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:20.240
one spot. So I did.
Then I programmed every atom and all the
150
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:28.360
sub atomic particles of those atoms to
stick, so quantization exactly. I had
151
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:33.919
to talk them into it. Universes
are stubborn creatures. Wait a second,
152
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:39.399
creatures loose term. Don't take it
too seriously. Oh this is great fun.
153
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:46.639
You always react. I knew it
would be entertaining. Okay, keep
154
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:52.080
going with your story. Then what
Well, once all that was done and
155
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:58.639
I was sure everything was what's the
word quantized? Quantized? Once I was
156
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:05.200
sure of thing was quantized, I
set them all going all at once in
157
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:11.639
every direction. So the big bang? Is that what you call it?
158
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:15.960
Yeah, we call it the big
Bang theory back home, I thought your
159
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:24.360
kind was more poetic. That's somewhat
lackluster. Well, sorry about that,
160
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:30.120
and we name a lot of things. I see. Hey, hang on
161
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:35.679
a second, Kelly, Yes,
Stephen, how long can we delay cycle
162
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:39.200
three? The cycle shouldn't be delayed, However, we can safely delay for
163
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:41.720
up to one month. Okay,
we're going to delay until we know what
164
00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:46.519
to do next. Confirm, Stephen. Shall I dispense your coffee? Yeah?
165
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:50.159
I think that sounds good. What
about you? Would you have a
166
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:56.159
cup? I've never had it before. How fascinating. Yeah, it's a
167
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.960
real treat. Cloned beans from where
was it again, Kelly, Stephen?
168
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:06.639
The beans were cloned and raised in
the Mars City nexas. That's right,
169
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:17.200
all right, make that two cups. There you go, my friend,
170
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:26.279
a real clone tree. Excellent.
Oh it smells wonderful. Yeah, it's
171
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:30.320
not bad. It's not the best
I've had, but it's not the worst
172
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:37.039
either. Oh. Yes, that
is most enjoyable. How exciting this is.
173
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:41.000
I knew meeting you would be full
of discovery. So you knew I
174
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:45.240
was moving towards you all this time? How I could sense you? I
175
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:52.399
can feel great distances. The cloud, as you put it, is me.
176
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:57.080
Essentially, I'm spread all over,
but you could only really notice me
177
00:16:57.159 --> 00:17:03.960
if I'm concentrated in one spot and
you know that I'm coming all the way
178
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.400
to you to get a sample.
You're okay with that. I can't see
179
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:11.920
what it'll hurt. It's perfectly boring
to me. Study all you want,
180
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:18.599
and if we humans gain an understanding
of you that doesn't bother you at all,
181
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:26.680
make you angry? Oh oh,
now that is a thought. I
182
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:32.319
wonder what you would create. I
have to warn you. Though others have
183
00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:38.000
tried, they lacked the understanding of
my sense of being to use my atoms
184
00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:45.000
to manipulate time and space around them. They poor souls ended up with more
185
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:52.200
questions than answers, which is what
you'll probably get Also, you seem so
186
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:59.480
sure you know it's crazy, But
I am beginning to believe this story of
187
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:06.759
yours. That's good, irrelevant but
good. I'm here for the experience of
188
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:10.240
talking with you. Whether or not
you believe me is besides the point.
189
00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:15.680
Huh Kelly, Yes, Stephen,
let's get the system checks going. We
190
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:19.519
might as well get something done while
me and mister creator here discuss things.
191
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:25.880
I will begin the system check now. She is quite marvelous. I suppose
192
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:27.880
you can't get lonely with her helping
you out, can you? No,
193
00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:32.839
it still gets lonely. To be
honest, I think the reason I'm willing
194
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:36.680
to go along with this story of
yours is probably because of how lonely I
195
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:42.359
am. Uh, I see,
yes, it makes sense. How old
196
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:49.599
are you? That is an impossible
question. I don't measure things in time.
197
00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:55.720
M Yeah, that's right. Well
you are around at the Big Bang
198
00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:00.960
caused it? From what I gather? What about before that? I was
199
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:06.519
in multiple universes before settling on this
one. This one would listen, It
200
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:12.319
would listen. Oh yes, some
universes are stubborn and won't listen to anyone.
201
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:18.680
Wait anyone? So are there others
like you. Yes, of course,
202
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:23.799
although I don't meddle in others' work. It's a scary thought. Why
203
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:27.160
is that? I don't know.
I just can't imagine a bunch of you
204
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:33.960
out there just spinning up worlds when
and wherever. It's so hard to understand.
205
00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:40.799
We create, We serve our purpose. If you experienced existence like me,
206
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:45.599
you would do as I do.
It helps the loneliness, it stops
207
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:51.519
the boredom. That's interesting. I
wouldn't imagine that anything would be boring for
208
00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:56.480
you. I mean, creating worlds
in all the process is repetitive. You
209
00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:00.880
can only do the same thing so
many times. Hey, hold up,
210
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:07.039
you've never visited human beings before.
I have. It's been a long time.
211
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:10.240
Most of the time, your people
don't even know I'm there. Some
212
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:12.759
things are complete, all right?
Go ahead, Kelly. There are multiple
213
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:17.680
fragmented spots in the memory banks.
Do you wish to purge these instances?
214
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:22.160
Can we do a repair instead?
I will begin the repair attempt. Great,
215
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:26.640
good luck. I don't understand.
That's okay, Kelly, go ahead
216
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:38.960
initiating, Kelly. I don't feel
right. I don't what is what it
217
00:20:40.079 --> 00:21:07.240
says? What is it? Stephen? Can you hear me? Please acknowledge,
218
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:19.000
Stephen, Please acknowledge what the hell
happened to me? You loved consciousness?
219
00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:25.200
Where the hell did he go?
Are you referring to the passenger I
220
00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:27.640
could not identify, Yes, Kelly, who else will I be talking about?
221
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:32.559
Where did he go? I cannot
locate he departed when you fell.
222
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:36.880
I am running vital monitors on you. I cannot detect anything. Why does
223
00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:41.119
this keep happening? I need to
search the ship for our friend. I
224
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:47.480
feel strange. I can't remember pieces
of the conversation we had, but I
225
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:51.799
know we had a conversation. Perhaps
it is because of your loss of consciousness.
226
00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:55.799
I will continue attempting to monitor your
vitals. All right, I'll be
227
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:59.599
back. Can you scan the ship
and let me know if he's here somewhere?
228
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:03.680
Yes. I will begin scanning.
If I find anything, I will
229
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:15.000
alert you. Stephen. Well,
this is extremely weird. Not a trace.
230
00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:21.240
It's like I hallucinated the guy.
But man, it was so real.
231
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:26.039
Are you sure I'm not having side
effects from the cryo? That is
232
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:30.279
not possible. You seem awful sure. Can I see the logs of my
233
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:36.039
cryocycles? Of course? Great?
Send them to my screen sending down.
234
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:51.079
All right, log cycle one seventy
eight percent complete? Can't be right?
235
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:56.079
Can you recheck this? The file
is accurate. The first crier sleep cycle
236
00:22:56.200 --> 00:23:02.720
was seventy eight percent complete. Now, how is that subject's vitals suffered catastrophic
237
00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:07.640
FAILU wait, I am the subject. I'm here right now, so obviously
238
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:12.079
you're wrong. The file is accurate. Subject Stephen Thompson, pilot astrophysicist,
239
00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:18.039
at seventy eight percent into first pritorcycle, suffered from acute heart failure, liver
240
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:22.880
failure, kidney failure. Eventually brain
function was ceased. Kelly, you're making
241
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:26.559
logic mistakes and you're processing. There's
no way show me a video log file
242
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:33.240
of this event. I bet you
can't find one loading What I watched in
243
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:40.960
horror as my own body went through
multiple organ failure events? And then I
244
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:45.839
watched as the terminal is placed over
my head, probes inserted into my skull,
245
00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:52.559
and a second sequence began? What
did you do to me? What
246
00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:56.480
is that? This is the Neural
Pathways scan. Its function is to scan
247
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:02.119
your own neural pathways and apply them
to the AI of this vessel. The
248
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:06.799
objective is to give the vessel more
of a survival instinct based on your personal
249
00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:11.680
human neuro network. I don't understand. How can this be real? Stephen?
250
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:15.559
You seem to have impressed your own
consciousness into the system. Your body
251
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:21.519
was jettisoned before the second critocycle,
after the scan was completed, under whose
252
00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:26.240
authority? Who gave that command?
Project Director Leonard Baltick. The mission has
253
00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:32.400
always been designed to carry this out. What about thecam? Comcam eighteen.
254
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:37.720
Comcam eighteen is trademarked under the Elysian
Astra Solutions Company. Its primary use is
255
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:42.480
to slow the metabolic process and keep
the brain alive long enough for you to
256
00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:56.359
scan correct, and just like that
the truth. I died
1
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:11.759
Oh my god, are you serious? Why? Why you? This can't
2
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:16.000
be happening. Okay, okay,
Look it's only for eight years, and
3
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:18.879
once I get back, there's going
to be a ton of new science for
4
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:22.760
the Particle Club. I could make
a real difference. Anything could happen out
5
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:27.399
there. Why would you volunteer to
leave everything behind and all of us who
6
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:31.359
care about you? What's wrong with
you? I want to make a difference.
7
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:37.000
I feel I don't know, stalled
out. I don't have any ambitions
8
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:41.280
here. I gotta do this.
I want to see it. I need
9
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:44.359
to say that I did this.
There has to be more than this.
10
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:49.320
So we don't mean anything to you. How is this possible? How can
11
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:53.600
we convince you to stay? Oh
my god, I think you need to
12
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:59.600
sleep on this sun. This feels
like a mistake. It was right,
13
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:06.599
I should have thought it out more. There was a lot of apprehension,
14
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:12.280
sure, but was it enough to
stop me? No, not even close.
15
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:19.879
I was gonna see it for myself. I just didn't know the cost
16
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:38.959
beginning crime of sequence. Recent God, Stephen, you may feel disoriented.
17
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:48.799
You can say that again, Stephen, Can you confirm that you hear me?
18
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:07.959
Sensors indicate all drugs have left your
system? Are you experiencing lightheadedness?
19
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:12.120
Give him some time, he's only
just coming around. What the fuck,
20
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:22.319
pooh? Who the fuck are you? That is a great question, one
21
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:27.439
that I will try my best to
answer. Alice is how are you here?
22
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.680
Are you a stowaway? What the
fuck is this? No? I
23
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.759
stopped in nine months or so ago, but you were already asleep, So
24
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:39.360
I plan to visit again when you
were awake. You're kind of hard to
25
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:45.319
catch, Kelly. Am I hallucinating? Something has to be wrong? This
26
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:49.680
can't be right. Sensors indicate that
old drugs have left your system. Are
27
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:53.360
you experiencing light headedness? No,
there's a man standing here. Can you
28
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:59.159
see him? Sensors indicate presents of
two passengers. I do not have second
29
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:05.159
passengers identification on cod You are a
stowaway? Do you realize how much trouble
30
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:08.520
you're in? Not to mention how
far from home we are? You were
31
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:15.759
home? No? Where are you
from? What? I live on?
32
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:25.479
Mars Triteria City, Mars Ah,
Yes, I remember that one. Fascinating.
33
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.439
I had no idea you all were
this far along. I haven't been
34
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:34.919
there in so long? All right, I need you to back up.
35
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:40.360
Okay, stand back, all right, I didn't mean to get back Kelly.
36
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:45.840
Who the hell is this guy?
I do not have the second passenger
37
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:51.400
on final not enough information to identify. Okay, okay, okay, you
38
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:53.800
stand back, Sit down right there? God, I don't even know what
39
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:59.599
to do. How did you survive
the trip? Where did you survive the
40
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.080
trip? Oh? Well, I
didn't make the same trip that you did.
41
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:09.439
I came here from well where I
think you're going. Look the cloud?
42
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:13.360
Are you insane? You have to
be if you think I'll believe that.
43
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:19.160
I don't feel insane, Collie,
What does insane feel like? Not
44
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:23.319
enough information? No, Callie,
stop, don't talk to him? Well
45
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:29.040
that seems harsh. I came all
this way to speak with you. You're
46
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:32.399
an angry being, aren't you?
Only? When unknown insane people show up
47
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:36.360
light years into a trip? How
did you expect this to go? Well?
48
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:42.279
I don't know. I thought we'd
have a grand conversation, a discussion
49
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:47.000
discussing what well the design mostly,
but also I'd love to catch up with
50
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:54.959
you, ask you questions about your
species and planets. It is two planets
51
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:58.399
now, right? The hell are
you saying you think you're an alien.
52
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:01.600
There's plenty of you loons at home. How did you get on this ship?
53
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:05.879
Well, for me, it was
easy. I willed myself here you
54
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:11.680
were asleep, as I said,
then willed myself back to where I was.
55
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:16.480
I almost forgot to come back.
I get sidetracked when I'm working,
56
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:26.720
working on what, creating, creating
what worlds? It's my industry, you
57
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:31.959
see. I create worlds of all
shapes and sizes, and I have so
58
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:39.519
much more space to fill. I
will be working for a long time before
59
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:45.000
I'm finished. It is amazing,
though, to see one of you progress
60
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.480
so far. I am impressed.
So the way you think your God,
61
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:58.560
I don't know the word. Does
it mean creator? According to some yes,
62
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:03.480
all right, and yes that fits. This is insanity. I have
63
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:08.680
to be dreaming. There's no way
you can be here. You were dreaming
64
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:15.600
about your parents? Did you ever
make peace with them about your choice?
65
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:21.040
How the hell could you possibly know
that I watched the dream as it happened.
66
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:25.720
I almost forgot to come back,
as I said, but I did
67
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:30.759
arrive early. Is it rude to
see your dreams? If so, I
68
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:36.879
apologize. This is crazy. You
watched my dreams? Do you know how
69
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:42.839
insane this sounds. I can see
it was a violation of your privacy.
70
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:48.759
I do apologize. I had to
watch your dreams to understand your language.
71
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:54.079
Though, Kelly, I need to
send a message back. We have a
72
00:06:54.079 --> 00:07:00.319
stowaway and this person has clearly lost
his mind. Please advise as soon as
73
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:06.600
possible sending message. That's a ten
day round trip for a reply, right,
74
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:14.319
So what shall we do in the
meantime? Well, I was thinking
75
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:18.839
about putting you in the cargo hold, but you feel bad doing it.
76
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:24.720
Huh? You pick that one up? Huh habit. I'm sorry. I
77
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:29.240
would like to put you at ease, but I'm not sure what it would
78
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:31.360
take. Okay, not much is
going to work, to be honest,
79
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:36.759
mister, this is a solo mission. Seeing another person out here isn't supposed
80
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:41.519
to happen, so you have to
forgive me that. I'm all nerves right
81
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:46.160
now. Of course, I didn't
think this out like I should have.
82
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:54.600
I've often worked on impulse, though
it's always worked out until now. I
83
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:58.680
mean, well, you don't seem
like the crazy, violent type, so
84
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.360
as long as you stay where I
can see you, we won't have any
85
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:07.639
problems. You try anything, and
I swear to God, that's pretty funny.
86
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:15.240
Oh right, fine, what do
you want to talk about? Why
87
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.480
would God come all the way out
here to meet up? There's a couple
88
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.000
planets full of people back home,
you know. Well, I have never
89
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:28.639
gotten a visitor in my neck of
the woods before. I find this extremely
90
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:33.240
entertaining. Your neck of the woods, what heaven? If that means home,
91
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:39.519
then sure, I'm often out here
working on what I can. I
92
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:45.720
go farther, but I have my
favorite spots, so to speak. And
93
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:54.159
you just make planets. Planets happen
over time. I set the motions going.
94
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.960
Stars are amazing to work on.
Some of the larger ones spin up
95
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:05.399
many planets, others only a few. I do what I can to influence
96
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:11.320
them and try to get the most
out of them. Matter is amazing.
97
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:18.639
You seem way too preoccupied to be
a heavenly creator. You check me for
98
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:24.879
sins. Sure, I have a
bunch. I only vaguely understand that word.
99
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:30.480
I don't really have much interest in
how you live. I'm glad you
100
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:35.960
are alive, of course, but
I don't really need to see what you're
101
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:39.279
up to on a day to day
basis. See that seems odd, because
102
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:45.879
every culture and religion on Earth and
Mars is focused on what you command,
103
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:52.879
So you're not really lining up with
the stories back home. That sounds incredibly
104
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:58.799
dull. Do you all still do
that? A lot of folks do.
105
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:03.799
Yeah. Oh man, you should
see some of the others. They are
106
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:09.559
pretty far ahead of you all in
this regard. How's your planets doing?
107
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:15.879
Are they healthy? Well? One
is in pretty bad shape. The other
108
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:24.360
I'm sure is following close behind.
What how is that possible? I remember
109
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:30.039
there being one healthy planet when I
left. Well, it was heading towards
110
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:33.039
healthy, still in early stages at
the time, but the signs were there.
111
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:39.519
Well, we make stuff, were
industrious, We make a lot of
112
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.320
pollution, and we have some bad
habits of ruining parts of the world because
113
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:50.320
of it. That's a shame,
such potential too. And yet you are
114
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:56.960
out here. Are you really that
interested in the cloud? What? Yeah,
115
00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:01.559
all of the scientific community believes that
it's a fundamental element of the universe.
116
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.240
Oh well, then on that account, you're right, it definitely is.
117
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.679
Do you want to elaborate on that. I cannot believe I'm getting sucked
118
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:18.399
into this because inside you, you
subconsciously already know me and know I'm telling
119
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:22.519
you the truth. I wouldn't go
that far, but yeah, elaborate.
120
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:33.200
All right, Well, that cloud
you're looking at that is me? Uh,
121
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:39.799
it's you. I don't understand.
This body you see now isn't me
122
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:46.240
at all. I just made it
so I could interact with you on your
123
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:50.759
time, so to speak, on
my time. I don't understand. Well,
124
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:58.399
I know you understand the concept of
time, and that helps. Now
125
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:07.559
try to understand and this. I
don't use time at all. I can
126
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:13.960
move freely around or outside of it
now, being here in this body which
127
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:20.480
I made for myself. As I
said, I am experiencing time on your
128
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:28.039
terms. Material and immaterial things interact
with time and gravity differently. I'm sure
129
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:35.039
you could imagine. That's interesting.
All right, how abte? How do
130
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:39.759
you just create a body? Well? I create I watched you. I
131
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:46.039
studied you for months and decided I'd
make a body close to yours. I
132
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.480
can work outside of time, of
course, so it didn't take me nearly
133
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:56.519
as long to make this as yours
took you. So you just whipped up
134
00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:58.840
a suit, huh, In a
sense. I pulled the elements. I
135
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:03.759
The hardest part was water. I
had to pull that from elsewhere. This
136
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:09.799
body is not a natural occurrence,
so it won't be able to last for
137
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:13.279
more than a few months. More
than a few months, what happens after
138
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:20.440
that, the elements I've borrowed will
disperse. I wasn't building for longevity.
139
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:26.440
I just wanted this chance to speak
with you alone and so near to my
140
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:31.159
own area. Yeah, you said
that earlier. So you just hang out
141
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:35.720
here and create stuff. That's it. Well, I've been at it a
142
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:41.840
long time. Practice makes perfect.
I like to think I'm making a difference.
143
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:46.639
I was sporadic in earlier times.
I jumped all over the place,
144
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:52.840
spinning up stars and worlds. It
was fun. The beginning was the hardest.
145
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:58.440
I had to talk it all into
working. Yeah, talk it into
146
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:03.240
working. Well, Yes, the
fundamental principles of matter and density were a
147
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:07.639
lot different. I had to program
it all to work. So I figured
148
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:13.240
the best easiest way to do it
was to gather all of it up in
149
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:20.240
one spot. So I did.
Then I programmed every atom and all the
150
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:28.360
sub atomic particles of those atoms to
stick, so quantization exactly. I had
151
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:33.919
to talk them into it. Universes
are stubborn creatures. Wait a second,
152
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:39.399
creatures loose term. Don't take it
too seriously. Oh this is great fun.
153
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:46.639
You always react. I knew it
would be entertaining. Okay, keep
154
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:52.080
going with your story. Then what
Well, once all that was done and
155
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:58.639
I was sure everything was what's the
word quantized? Quantized? Once I was
156
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:05.200
sure of thing was quantized, I
set them all going all at once in
157
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:11.639
every direction. So the big bang? Is that what you call it?
158
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:15.960
Yeah, we call it the big
Bang theory back home, I thought your
159
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:24.360
kind was more poetic. That's somewhat
lackluster. Well, sorry about that,
160
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:30.120
and we name a lot of things. I see. Hey, hang on
161
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:35.679
a second, Kelly, Yes,
Stephen, how long can we delay cycle
162
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:39.200
three? The cycle shouldn't be delayed, However, we can safely delay for
163
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:41.720
up to one month. Okay,
we're going to delay until we know what
164
00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:46.519
to do next. Confirm, Stephen. Shall I dispense your coffee? Yeah?
165
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:50.159
I think that sounds good. What
about you? Would you have a
166
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:56.159
cup? I've never had it before. How fascinating. Yeah, it's a
167
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.960
real treat. Cloned beans from where
was it again, Kelly, Stephen?
168
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:06.639
The beans were cloned and raised in
the Mars City nexas. That's right,
169
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:17.200
all right, make that two cups. There you go, my friend,
170
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:26.279
a real clone tree. Excellent.
Oh it smells wonderful. Yeah, it's
171
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:30.320
not bad. It's not the best
I've had, but it's not the worst
172
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:37.039
either. Oh. Yes, that
is most enjoyable. How exciting this is.
173
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:41.000
I knew meeting you would be full
of discovery. So you knew I
174
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:45.240
was moving towards you all this time? How I could sense you? I
175
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:52.399
can feel great distances. The cloud, as you put it, is me.
176
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:57.080
Essentially, I'm spread all over,
but you could only really notice me
177
00:16:57.159 --> 00:17:03.960
if I'm concentrated in one spot and
you know that I'm coming all the way
178
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.400
to you to get a sample.
You're okay with that. I can't see
179
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:11.920
what it'll hurt. It's perfectly boring
to me. Study all you want,
180
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:18.599
and if we humans gain an understanding
of you that doesn't bother you at all,
181
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:26.680
make you angry? Oh oh,
now that is a thought. I
182
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:32.319
wonder what you would create. I
have to warn you. Though others have
183
00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:38.000
tried, they lacked the understanding of
my sense of being to use my atoms
184
00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:45.000
to manipulate time and space around them. They poor souls ended up with more
185
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:52.200
questions than answers, which is what
you'll probably get Also, you seem so
186
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:59.480
sure you know it's crazy, But
I am beginning to believe this story of
187
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:06.759
yours. That's good, irrelevant but
good. I'm here for the experience of
188
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:10.240
talking with you. Whether or not
you believe me is besides the point.
189
00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:15.680
Huh Kelly, Yes, Stephen,
let's get the system checks going. We
190
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:19.519
might as well get something done while
me and mister creator here discuss things.
191
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:25.880
I will begin the system check now. She is quite marvelous. I suppose
192
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:27.880
you can't get lonely with her helping
you out, can you? No,
193
00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:32.839
it still gets lonely. To be
honest, I think the reason I'm willing
194
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:36.680
to go along with this story of
yours is probably because of how lonely I
195
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:42.359
am. Uh, I see,
yes, it makes sense. How old
196
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:49.599
are you? That is an impossible
question. I don't measure things in time.
197
00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:55.720
M Yeah, that's right. Well
you are around at the Big Bang
198
00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:00.960
caused it? From what I gather? What about before that? I was
199
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:06.519
in multiple universes before settling on this
one. This one would listen, It
200
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:12.319
would listen. Oh yes, some
universes are stubborn and won't listen to anyone.
201
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:18.680
Wait anyone? So are there others
like you. Yes, of course,
202
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:23.799
although I don't meddle in others' work. It's a scary thought. Why
203
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:27.160
is that? I don't know.
I just can't imagine a bunch of you
204
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:33.960
out there just spinning up worlds when
and wherever. It's so hard to understand.
205
00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:40.799
We create, We serve our purpose. If you experienced existence like me,
206
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:45.599
you would do as I do.
It helps the loneliness, it stops
207
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:51.519
the boredom. That's interesting. I
wouldn't imagine that anything would be boring for
208
00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:56.480
you. I mean, creating worlds
in all the process is repetitive. You
209
00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:00.880
can only do the same thing so
many times. Hey, hold up,
210
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:07.039
you've never visited human beings before.
I have. It's been a long time.
211
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:10.240
Most of the time, your people
don't even know I'm there. Some
212
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:12.759
things are complete, all right?
Go ahead, Kelly. There are multiple
213
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:17.680
fragmented spots in the memory banks.
Do you wish to purge these instances?
214
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:22.160
Can we do a repair instead?
I will begin the repair attempt. Great,
215
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:26.640
good luck. I don't understand.
That's okay, Kelly, go ahead
216
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:38.960
initiating, Kelly. I don't feel
right. I don't what is what it
217
00:20:40.079 --> 00:21:07.240
says? What is it? Stephen? Can you hear me? Please acknowledge,
218
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:19.000
Stephen, Please acknowledge what the hell
happened to me? You loved consciousness?
219
00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:25.200
Where the hell did he go?
Are you referring to the passenger I
220
00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:27.640
could not identify, Yes, Kelly, who else will I be talking about?
221
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:32.559
Where did he go? I cannot
locate he departed when you fell.
222
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:36.880
I am running vital monitors on you. I cannot detect anything. Why does
223
00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:41.119
this keep happening? I need to
search the ship for our friend. I
224
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:47.480
feel strange. I can't remember pieces
of the conversation we had, but I
225
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:51.799
know we had a conversation. Perhaps
it is because of your loss of consciousness.
226
00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:55.799
I will continue attempting to monitor your
vitals. All right, I'll be
227
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:59.599
back. Can you scan the ship
and let me know if he's here somewhere?
228
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:03.680
Yes. I will begin scanning.
If I find anything, I will
229
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:15.000
alert you. Stephen. Well,
this is extremely weird. Not a trace.
230
00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:21.240
It's like I hallucinated the guy.
But man, it was so real.
231
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:26.039
Are you sure I'm not having side
effects from the cryo? That is
232
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:30.279
not possible. You seem awful sure. Can I see the logs of my
233
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:36.039
cryocycles? Of course? Great?
Send them to my screen sending down.
234
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:51.079
All right, log cycle one seventy
eight percent complete? Can't be right?
235
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:56.079
Can you recheck this? The file
is accurate. The first crier sleep cycle
236
00:22:56.200 --> 00:23:02.720
was seventy eight percent complete. Now, how is that subject's vitals suffered catastrophic
237
00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:07.640
FAILU wait, I am the subject. I'm here right now, so obviously
238
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:12.079
you're wrong. The file is accurate. Subject Stephen Thompson, pilot astrophysicist,
239
00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:18.039
at seventy eight percent into first pritorcycle, suffered from acute heart failure, liver
240
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:22.880
failure, kidney failure. Eventually brain
function was ceased. Kelly, you're making
241
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:26.559
logic mistakes and you're processing. There's
no way show me a video log file
242
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:33.240
of this event. I bet you
can't find one loading What I watched in
243
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:40.960
horror as my own body went through
multiple organ failure events? And then I
244
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:45.839
watched as the terminal is placed over
my head, probes inserted into my skull,
245
00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:52.559
and a second sequence began? What
did you do to me? What
246
00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:56.480
is that? This is the Neural
Pathways scan. Its function is to scan
247
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:02.119
your own neural pathways and apply them
to the AI of this vessel. The
248
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:06.799
objective is to give the vessel more
of a survival instinct based on your personal
249
00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:11.680
human neuro network. I don't understand. How can this be real? Stephen?
250
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:15.559
You seem to have impressed your own
consciousness into the system. Your body
251
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:21.519
was jettisoned before the second critocycle,
after the scan was completed, under whose
252
00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:26.240
authority? Who gave that command?
Project Director Leonard Baltick. The mission has
253
00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:32.400
always been designed to carry this out. What about thecam? Comcam eighteen.
254
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:37.720
Comcam eighteen is trademarked under the Elysian
Astra Solutions Company. Its primary use is
255
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:42.480
to slow the metabolic process and keep
the brain alive long enough for you to
256
00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:56.359
scan correct, and just like that
the truth. I died
