Resync: Xenzai[NEF]
I am the Lexx.
I am the most powerful weapon of destruction in the two universes.
I was grown on the Cluster, which is ruled by His Shadow.
The food was good there.
My captain is Stanley Tweedle.
I blow up planets for him.
Stanley used to be a security guard class 4 on the Cluster,
until he became a fugitive.
This fugitive wanted, for immediate termination.
He is my captain now because he got my key
from heretics who wanted to steal me.
Take us away from here, take us out past the frontier,take us someplace better!i>
But he was the one who took me away.
Stan was helped by Zev of B3K.
She was made into a love slave as punishment for failing to perform her wifely duties.
but things went wrong.
Now she is part Cluster lizard, so sometimes she is not a nice lady.
See ya, lover boy!i>
A robot head, 790, got part of the love slave that was meant for her. I will love you forever
He is in my crew too.
Because she is a love slave, Zev likes men.
Hi.
except for Stanley Tweedle.
The only other man on board is Kai, last of the Brunnen G,but he is dead so he can't make Zev happy.
2000 years ago, Kai's planet was destroyed by His Shadow
and all of his people were killed.
They kept Kai's body and used him as an assassin,
Who would you like me to kill?
but he got his memory back from a Divine Predecessor,
and then he became part of my crew.
The Time Prophet said that Kai would destroy His Shadow's order
They will be destroyed at the hands of the Brunnen G.
But that will be hard because his protoblood is running out and he must stay inside a very cold box.
Be certain of your need before you choose to reanimate me.
My crew are afraid of His Shadow, the ruler of the Light Universe.
My priority must now be to end this prophecy!
His Shadow wants me back... and he wants his Divine Predecessors back too.
But he especially wants Kai destroyed because he is afraid of the prophecy.
Zev, Kai and Stan don't want that.
They took me beyond His Shadow's
reach through a fractal core into the Dark Zone,the universe of evil and chaos.
And now we are looking for a new home.
In the Light Universe, I have been darkness.
Perhaps in the Dark Zone, I will be light.
All night by the Zev Zev.
All night by the Zev I lay.
I found her tongue along my casing Licking the dirt away.
A meat loaf please Lexx,
not too spicy, kind of medium spicy, and a few vegetables.
preferably high in fibre.
and a triple chocolate double dipped sweet Cluster fry, and sparkling water.
- That's not quite what I ordered. - I try my best, Stan.
All aft by the Zev Zev. All aft by the Zev I lay I felt her tongue
Hello out there...
Oops, ha!.
I'm trying...
Is there anybody out there?
Right...
This is interesting, right?
Love muff - muffin!
I picked up an intelligent signal from a remote drone,my sweet sex bomb of luscious love potion.
Why not come and visit the secondary resource planet Klaagia.
Some planets are good.
Other planets are not.
What is a secondary resource planet?
Excuse.
We have plenty...
plenty and more...
Excuse me. Yes
So...
if you wanna go by the numbers, we are the sixth planet.
We're almost on a direct line between Marva and Dusak.
but since the war they're all gone...
so...
excuse me again...
Survival is the key.
It's that time again.
Ooh, yuck - I wanna spend my next vacation there.
Credo proprio...
Methinks you should check us out.
Healthy tourism is always on the menu.
We want more people, people who are fresh.
People are like flowers.
they sprout, they bloom, and then they die.
everything dies in the end, so...
...come on over.
Look at me.
I'm OK.
Ooh, I think it's...
Do we have a fix on that planet?
As you can see, security guard class retard
the signal comes from a remote probe, not the planet itself
and the recording on the probe did not provide useful information
for determining the planet's location.
Well, if you figure out where it is, I wanna make it a candidate for target practice
put them out of their misery.
The probe is slow-moving and there are no planets nearby.
They are probably already out of their misery
Never too late to blow the place up.
But it might have some food.
I may be hungry Zev - but not that hungry.
We want more people, people who are fresh
so come, visit Klaagia.
Food, Lexx! Food, food, food, food, food!
We should have tried to find that secondary resource planet Stan.
It's all we've come across so far.
That was weeks ago! I don't care about then!
I care about now!
All I want is a teeny weeny plate of edible food Lexx.
it's not a lot to ask.
You're a big ship.
and I'm getting really really hungry
and I just need something to take the edge off. OK?
- My reserves are - Don't say it again!
- I don't wanna hear it! - I am hungry.
If I do not feed, I cannot produce food for you.
But we've gotta do something, I'm starving!
We are going to have to find our own food.
Divine Predecessors - it's barbecue time.
Any volunteers?
Think about what you are doing
- We are a tremendous library of knowledge. And an excellent source of protein.
Please!
eat the sixteenth Shadow, he deserves it.
He baked heretics by the hundreds and served them up at dinner parties.
That's a lie! I never did any such thing!
They're all out to get me, they always have been!
No, no!
Please!
Ah!... Oh, holy lizards
I can't go through with it.
- We have to eat something. - I know, I know!
but they put me off my appetite.
- Time to wake Kai - No!
We can't!
He's only got a few days of protoblood left.
Kai said wake him if there's a crisis,
and this is a crisis.
I think you should get 790.
Look, I've worked cryogenic tubes before
this one's not that different.
I'm almost there
It's not my fault, I'm not the one that smashed it
Is he dead?
He has been dead for 2000 years.
No, not alive dead, I mean dead dead
Kai?
Kai! Kai
He's freeze dried
Pupils aren't dilating
I have to make sure
Enough, enough!
Admit it Zev, Kai is dead
It's over
What was that?
Listen
I don't know
Asteroids?
I think not, sweet one
- Then what? - Planets. Exploded remains of planets
- Did you set a new course? - No!
I believe the Lexx is acting on its own
- I am very hungry - So are we
- Any sign of life down there? - I do not know.
but the surface seems to consist of a degenerative organic material,
which should satisfy my nutritional needs
790? What can you tell?
Life bearing planets usually emit electromagnetic flux.
except very primitive ones
There are no indications of electromagnetic activity on this one
If it has organic material, shouldn't it contain life?
Maybe it once did
I believe it is an orbiting dumpsite used for generalised waste disposal
- your basic garbage planet
Then I say we waste it - blow it up
Why?
I have a bad feeling about it. Besides, I hate garbage
Stan.
if the Lexx eats, you eat
Besides...
there's something else we have to do
Can't we just bury him out in space?
Stanley Tweedle?
I despise you
So
this is like the video benediction they give you
before they shove you into the protein bank?
No, Stan.
It's more respectful.
On my planet, they bury their dead
I wouldn't wanna be left here if I was dead.
When you're dead, you don't care.
So, why are we doing this?
Go ahead.
Uh - Kai...
Uh - thanks for not killing us.
And also for getting us through the fractal core.
we appreciate that, so, uh, thanks.
and I guess in a way it's better now that you are gone, because you did spend most of the last 2000 years
killing people
Stan! that wasn't really Kai who did all that.
He did, Zev, he killed thousands of people!
No.
His Shadow was controlling his body.
Last of the Brunnen G.
- if you were alive -
Last of the Brunnen G.
- if you were alive -
- I'd want you to be the first man -
- I used to want to die
but now I want to live.
I think that's because, after meeting you,
I realised that people aren't always that bad
I feel bad
Goodbye Kai
- So? - What?
Let's get out of here?
What's your hurry?
The sooner we're back on the Lexx the better I'm gonna feel.
This place gives me the creeps.
We've got our whole lives to spend on the Lexx if you want Stan
Look, er
it's, er, not good news, what happened but
er, we're all we've got now, and we're alive.
- So it's just you and me. - And me!
Yeah. A man, a woman
And a robot head!
Stan. Zev. Zev and Stan,
together
The two of us You're right Stan
I do need you
I need your magic hand, guiding your big ship
in the Dark Zone so I can finally find a real man
Merda!
790?
is there any sign of life on this dump?
Clearly this planet was inhabited at one time, honey blossom..
During our landing I believe
- I mean, I think I observed
- Go on - Nothing of importance
Tell me!
An abandoned habitational structure not far from this position.
But I do not recommend that you go there
Ditto.
The sooner we get off this trash heap the better.
Stan.
don't you have any curiosity? Any sense of adventure?
Not on this planet
Well, I do
Carnivores like to explore - it's part of our nature
Actually the fool is right, love of loves
I recommend we return to the Lexx and stay onboard
until it completes its feeding
Recommendation ignored
It looks like there were a lot of people here once
Not any more
I saw someone
We're landing
Zev.
Lexx has been eating for a long time.
I'm sure the galley's working by now
There's no reason for us to land
What're you doing? Didn't you hear what I just said?
Let's go
- What are you doing? - Coming?
You've got ten minutes only, then I'm outta here
Don't you even joke about leaving me behind, Stanley Tweedle
Boy, she is so stupid.
- Can you see anything? - Yes.
I can see clearly that we should go back to the moth and return to the Lexx at once.
Overruled.
Zev!
Oh boy, she's really, really stupid
Stupid.
- What are they? - Boxes, baby
Is this what I think it is?
I have no sense of smell.
This is food!
It's really good food!
I'm going back to the Lexx now!
Zev, are you coming or not?
It's her own fault
I told her I wasn't gonna wait around forever.
Zev!
I hear something
I don't hear anything.
I have enhanced hearing capability
790?
I think we are safe
I don't know
I've got a bad feeling
Did you hurt yourself, love gunk?
My name is Zev of B3K, number 790.
Ah! Zev! I love you,Zev!
I hate you Zev
Zev?
Where are you Zev?
I can't see you, are you OK? Zev!
Zev?
- 790? - Butter thighs
are you all right?
I don't know
- I think we should go back to the moth. - With alacrity
Sweet sweet shapes.
Long and lean mister. Trade ya?
You're clean
You're clean!
I'm so happy!
He's clean. He's clean
Hurry.
We're safe now
Thanks for helping me out
- Who knows you're here? - Besides the guy with the axe,
nobody
Tu...
Do you like me?
Yeah, I suppose so. Shh
Who are you?
Stanley. Stanley Tweedle.
What are you doing here?
I'm looking for one of my crew. I lost her after she came this way
- Your crew? - Yeah, from my ship
She was checking this place out after we spotted something from the air
What's so funny?
Nothing
- So, look - Wist.
Wist?
can you help me?
I can help you
Bene.
So what did that guy mean when he said I was clean?
I dunno.
- he's crazy.
So what happened here?
What do you mean?
This planet's a dump
just one big garbage dump.
It has no future
What about its past?
Past?
Well, yeah, what was it like before?
Delicious
Plentiful
Things are not clear, I barely remember
So, how did, how did you end up here?
I was born here
Where are your parents?
Parents?
Family.
Family?
You know, like, em, your mother and your father and
- you know, cousins and - - Dead.
- Huh? - All dead
Oh. I'm sorry.
Everything dies, Stan.
I'm OK
Va bene.
You have any food?
Don't you have any food on your ship?
well, yeah, usually, but it ran out.
See, it er, it has to eat to make food for us.
- Has to eat? - Yeah, it's living.
Well, you know, mostly living. A flying bug
Really powerful. Its name is Lexx
- A living ship? - Yeah, that's right
How do you fly such a vessel?
Er, with this. I put my hand on a special template
and I tell it where to go
I'm the only one that can fly it. It's that simple
Yes. It is
So - do you have any food?
- No. - No?
I thought you said you could help me
I can help you.
OK. What do you eat?
I haven't fed in a while
Zev! I almost forgot, I gotta go find her
Rise
Shall we go look for Zev?
Huh? Zev?
Who's Zev?
You're crazy.
Body wake. Body sleep
Zev, Zev, Zev, Zev, Zev, Zev, Zev, Zev!
Have you seen Zev? Ah!
Hi Snik. Still alive
Fresh body
Snik got fresh body
- Uh huh. You ready to play a game? - No, no games.
Snik have body, really.
Prime prime. Fresh fresh.
We don't want any more of your week old dead rats, thank you.
If you want Pattern, you've gotta play game
No, no, it's different. She's clean
she's total clean
and alive alive, fresh fresh
If there were a fresh body out there Wist would have come round.
Have we seen Wist? No.
So tell me
where did you find this wondrous specimen?
You - you give me Pattern first
You bring us the body first, and then we'll talk Pattern
You'll just rip me off - rip me off
Look Snik, we're busy here, OK?
No, no, no!
- stay, stay
Snik need Pattern, need Pattern
Tell you what
cut a piece off and bring it here, and maybe we'll let you have a little
Cut a piece.
Snik cut a piece.
What piece? What piece?
The head head, moron moron
so we can make sure as she's clean clean
OK
Snik'll bring you head
but Snik needs Pattern
Sweet sweet shapes, sweet sweet shapes
That's the key thing right right
Feed feed shapes, feed feed shapes
But who is the king tonight? Who is the king tonight?
Pattern is the thing, the key thingaling
But who is the king of Pattern?
I said who is the king, the kingthingaling
Who is the king of Pattern? Who is the king of Pattern?
Bog is the king, the kingthingaling
Bog is the king of Pattern Bo bo bo bo bo bo bo bo
Bog is the king of Pattern
Thank you, Kusak
Good luck Feemak
Good luck, Kukaru.
Now remember
- the house always wins.
Methinks - it's time.
Let the game begin
Game, game
game game game
I like the game. I just like it
I'm a winner, I'm a winner, I'm a winner!
No, no!
I'm a winner
I won a whole. This is a quarter
- a quarter at best Times have changed, Feemak
Today, we're making some new rules.
From now on, a whole flask will only be a quarter
Yes!
New rules day
I only lose a quarter cut.
No, Kukaru.
But wholes are quarters
- you just said!
All you need to know is that the house always wins
So what do I lose?
- A whole cut!
You get a double cut
Ah, Bog no no!
Who's next?
Wist!
- it's been forever
Bog...
- Yes darling? - I need Pattern
Uh, we have - plenty of that here
Don't I know you?
- Friend of yours? - Stanley Tweedle.
Tweedlededum
- I'm Bog Bog. Bog bog diggety dog
I am the king of this lovely planet. Welcome home
Pattern
He will need all of it
You'll need all of it, she says
Yes. Why not?
why not give him all of our Pattern?
I remember!
You were on the recording, on the probe
We need some more
- as a matter of fact, I am brewing some fresh Pattern right now
Yeah, yeah - you were the guy, you were saying something about
Oh! I can't remember.
So what's this Pattern stuff anyway?
I grind it myself I want another spin!
I want another game!
You have to admire Kukaru
He's in good spirits
- gleaming with Pattern
Spin spin spin spin! Once upon a time
a long time ago, we had plenty of Pattern
Lots of people. We were rich
- not anymore
Less people, less Pattern
Of course, you're wondering why, aren't you, Tweedledum?
So ask me, why? OK
- why?
What is the point of the game? What is the point of the game?
The point of the game is that there's always another point
and another one, and another one, and so on, and so forth
The points become dots. The dots become a line.
The line is part of a bigger circle
Why?
- the circle of life
Kukaru is not screaming because he's afraid to lose his life
He's screaming because he's afraid he's not going to get anymore Pattern
No.
Not yet Stan
All in good time
As I expected - not exactly premium
But in order to get fresh Pattern sparkling Pattern
we need fresh bodies.
Now, that's been a while
The last one was - when you were here last, remember?
I know where to find a fresh body
- Is this your ship? - Oh! no, no, no!
This is what we fly in to get there
- I want to fly it - No, no, no. I think
Yes, it's a good idea, you should fly it, why not?
Well - I like it
Snik need
something sharp
Hello down there
Nobody home
Stan?
I don't get it, he was just dead!
I mean, he was alive dead for 2000 years
but this time he was dead dead, really
- 2000?
2000- that's a lot of birthday parties
Is there anybody else on the ship?
Oh, yeah...
Body?
Over here
- Hiya Snik - No...
she, she's mine
Bye, bye, Snik.
No!
no please, Pattern now
Snik needs Pattern now
Please, don't lock up Snik.
Please, please. Snik needs Pattern now Now?
Now!
Now! Pain pain in the brain brain
Pattern now!
It's gonna be pain pain in the brain brain any second now
Ahhh...
They're so beautiful Spare us, please spare us
We are more use to you alive
We contain the memories of thousands
and can guide you to planets containing treasures beyond your wildest imaginings
I like you. I mean that
These brains will make brilliant p-p-Pattern.
These are the days of p-p-plentiful.
Only better
Get it off me
get it off!
Behave yourself
Help me, get it off me!
- So funny - Get it out!
You - you - you - you
You - heavenly sort of - brother
Get up, get up
I say, I say -
More! More!
Oh, oh, excuse me? Ah yes
it's a sweet life, it really can be
I'm tickled to death
Your worm is your friend
OK
Please, Pattern, please, Pattern
Pattern now!
No, can't find no Pattern
It's gone back in
Yeah.
Brain's gone
but I think it weighs about as much as it always did
Not alive enough for you, am I?
See, what did I tell ya
What's your status, Lexx?
My nutrition banks are 68% full
We can take off right now if you want, yeah
Yeah, let's do something
- let's go fishing - We're not ready
Right
ready, we're not ready
We too have to feed, before we can travel
but soon, darling, soon soon
No, no, no, no, Grullek, you don't know anything
I know more than you!
This one
Wrong
This one here
Loser
Zev!
Zev? Zev!
Oh, Zev!
This is the happiest moment of my existence
Silnik!
It's that stupid robot head you out in
- No, no, I didn't - - I saw you!
No, I didn't
- Are you OK? - Perfectly.
I'm making this recording in the hope it might be of some use to whoever might find it
All the planets in this system, except Klaagia,
managed to mutually destroy each other in a trade war
Klaagia survived.
I guess because as a garbage planet with a few hundred workers
it wasn't a significant target
We thought we were OK, until we discovered that the Marvans
had infected Klaagia
with a type of predator used in the early stages of the war.
The predator is a queen, which uses satellite worms...
to infect and enslave people by attaching to their brains.
I encountered the queen.
For some reason she didn't kill me,but she scanned me, keeping some sort of image.
I don't know why.
More and more of us are getting infected all the time.
Our situation is getting desperate.
ommander Bog and the others are building a probe to send out for help.
I don't know who to, 'cause I don't think there's anybody left out there.
I think all I can do now is to somehow, some way
find the queen again, and kill it.
I know there's not much hope.
I'm probably not alive now.
but it's OK.
Everything dies
sometime...
I guess you found the queen.
This used to be a plentiful planet.
with lots of delicious things to eat.
Do you like me?
The dead do not have likes
It's OK. Everything dies
Did you learn anything of interest?
Some things
Do you want to kiss me?
As much as I want to kiss anything
- I don't understand - You should
- You are dead - Everything dies.
Where's the queen?
This planet is not delicious anymore.
How can you be stopped?
Time will stop me
Do you like me?
The first perfectly fresh body we've had since forever
and you, without my permission, decide to mix it with Snik?!
Get her out
Grullek, I am really disappointed in you
But Boork put the robot head in
Let her go
Kisses can as kiss kiss can
I digeridoo
Will you let me go?
Yes.
Show me your tongue again
Lips of roses
My body is perfect
It was altered by a machine, into the ultimate female form
Silk and honey, milk and cookies
If you untie me, I can do anything you want
Really?
I was designed for love.
I love - riding ponies
I can take you anywhere
Can you take me home?
Yes.
We are home
Ah, yes.
I - I have to concentrate
Hook her up
Stan!
Boys!
Stan!
- Do I know her? - Do you know her?
Yes, we all do, it's Zev!
She came with me on the Lexx and she's clean
yeah, clean Zev fresh, clean, we need clean
Stan, we should never have come here. You were right, I was wrong.
- Now please,get your brain back in gear and do something - Yeah,let's do something.
- Er - do you wanna kiss her? - No.
She'll become Pattern. We need to feed before we go
OK, it's clear you're in charge.
Just tell me what you want and let's do -
Oh good, brains. Ah!
- The rest - up on the rack - The rack!
Pa pa pa pa pa Pattern!
When it rains, it pours
There - you can even watch
Stanley - you do the honours
Oh - Come on No, you
We need more brains Ah!
We're making Pattern history here
You see
you can't just set the machine and that's it
Pattern making is an art
Every piece of meat is different.
It has a different personality, a different scent of soul.
The art is the nose that knows the flow goes into the bouquet
Balance and counterbalance
OK, boys
This one's on the house
I could really use another blast of Pattern right about now
No. You're the captain
Er - yeah. Well -
That's what I call...
...good Pattern
Here we go Stan
Oh, we forgot the head
Ooh, stupid
- and the female. His body
release his body
We'll blend them all in together
Excellent idea.
but then again, you could coarse chop the leftover brains simmer
add seepage
Excuse me?
Then add the female.
then introduce me in slices once they've formed a roux
Ask permission to go to the hole.
Go
Come, Stanley All right, the hole
The hole. Hole! Hole! Hole!
No!
The game is to feed.
Would you deny me a future?
Oh, yes.
You are not relevant
Bye, bye, Wist! Hole! Hole!
We thought you were gone
Almost
The worms revived me with an enzyme to determine whether I was a suitable host
Don't tell me you've got a worm too
No.
I did not turn out to be alive
- so they rejected me
They're feeding the queen The queen?
Yes.
The worms are no more separate from their queen then your blood cells are from you.
It is not uncommon in nature
So the queen is down that hole?
Looks like it
What is it? Do you know?
It is a type of predator
What does it want?
A new opportunity to eat.
Best part of the day
I like the hole too
Hey, Stanley.
Ha ha, big Bog dog
Che succede?
Who are you?
Visitors
Is it over?
Yes.
Yes. I think you have entered the final stage.
Your worm will eat your brain - I feel it
The worm is turning
Stan?
My mind is full of things but I can't remember.
The circle is complete.
Goodbye Stanley Tweedledee...
.. dum...
Ah, ok.
Bye Bog!
Woo! Hi guys
Take Stan back to the Lexx, but you cannot leave
But -
I think that if we separate Stan from the queen,his worm will kill him, like them
The way to save him, is to kill the queen
Kai!
Bye Kai! Woo!
- Come on Stan. Let's go - Go, yes, yes, makes good sense
- Stan, come on - We should go, yeah
One for Stanley
We cherish you, we thank you
Yeah, sure
Oh, heaven
- Stan, we don't have time for that - I have to, I have to
- Stan, come on - I have to
Stan, we have to go Stan!
Do you like me?
When I was little
I had to do all sorts of things to survive.
That's just the way it was.
I don't even remember where I came from..
I found myself on Klaagia.
and it was delicious and plentiful.
The game is to feed,.
and to feed, you have to adapt
- You killed Wist - She tried to kill me
The game is over.
- I will kill you - That is not necessary.
Why?
I am no longer relevant
I do not understand.
It's OK. Everything dies
That's why we have daughters, so life goes on after us
That's the key thing
You won't kill me
Everything dies
- Thank you - Nice lady.
We will be eternally grateful to you.
Your every wish will be our command.
Yeah. I really believe that.
- Stan... - Zev!
Stan!
Lexx - I command you to lift off
I have not completed my feeding
My reserves are at 93% capacity
Lexx!
- I command you to immediately lift off - As you request, Stan
Bye, Klaagia!
I knew you'd come back for me, oh love of loves.
There's something stranger than usual about the waste of protein
I know
- Hi Zev - Stanley?
- we're not leaving without Kai.
There are so many delicious planets out there, with lots of food on the surface,dark,wet,rich inside
You slug! You animal!
Wist! Ha ha
Distress! Distress!
- I am being penetrated! - Mamma's home! Whoo!
That calls for a smattern of Pattern
We are not leaving without Kai
You're no match for me, Tweedle, you will do exactly as I say
Uh oh! Ah! What is that?
Be careful Zev
Say hello!
Ouch!
- Please - if you pull it out I'll die - Pull. Pull!
Zev, please stop
It's Pattern time!
Stan! something is biting me
and it hurts a lot
Stan!
Stan, I want it off me - Stan?
Do you like me?
That feels better
- Stan! - Zev!
- you're alive!
Ecstasy times infinity squared
Wake up, living man
Uh?
What's that thing in my neck?
- What's that?! - A dead satellite worm
This part was attached to your brain
It controlled you
Can I get sick now?
And a quadruple chocolate double dip sweet Cluster fry
make it two of 'em
- no, gimmee all you got!
As you request Stan
Can I have chocolate with that too?
