RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE IN LEO,
THAT'S THE LION ONE,
BUT YOU'RE MOVING TOWARDS TAURUS, THE BULL,
SO I'D BETTER CLOSE THE CORRAL,
SILLY, IT'S NOT A REAL BULL,
DADDY,
HOW COME WE CAN'T HAVE APPLES ANYMORE?
[ BARKING ]
WHY DON'T YOU SEE WHY BANDIT'S BARKING?
BYE, DADDY, STAR KISSES,
STAR KISSES, SWEETIE,
NO MORE APPLES?
OUR BLOCK'S TESTED POSITIVE
FOR LOW-LEVEL RADIATION,
HALF THE COUNTRY HAS BEEN RED-ZONED,
IS IT EVER GOING TO GET BETTER, ELLIS?
WILL THE WAR EVER REALLY END?
YES,
THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING HERE ON GANYMEDE,
JOURNAL ENTRY...
ELLIS WARD,
COMMANDER OF THE GANYMEDE MISSION,
APRIL 23rd, 2084,
THE PEACE TALKS ARE GOING NOWHERE,
MIRED BY YEARS OF MUTUAL HATRED AND SUSPICION,
BUT HERE,
A QUARTER OF A BILLION MILES FROM EARTH,
THERE IS HOPE,
MODERATES ON BOTH SIDES
SECRETLY LAUNCHED A JOINT MISSION
TO TERRAFORM GANYMEDE INTO AN EARTH-LIKE PARADISE,
THE EASTERN COALITION
HAD THE TERRAFORMING TECHNOLOGY,
THE ALLIANCE HAD THE KNOW-HOW TO GET THEM HERE
AND CONSTRUCT THE BASE,
BY TURNING THIS BARREN WORLD INTO A GARDEN OF EDEN,
WE WILL SHOW THE WARRING PEOPLES OF EARTH
WHAT WE CAN DO WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER,
WE WILL INSPIRE THE WORLD TO PEACE,
SET UP THE BOARD, LINK,
WE STILL HAVE A FEW MINUTES
BEFORE THE REST OF THE CREW WAKES UP,
OH, NO, NO, NO,
NO,
LET'S PLAY THIS GAME THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY,
YOUR HOLOGRAMS GIVE ME A HEADACHE,
THE REACTOR LEVELS SHOULD BE AT FULL POWER
BY TOMORROW,
WE CAN BEGIN THE TERRAFORMING PROCESS
RIGHT ON SCHEDULE,
NO OFFENSE INTENDED, COMMANDER,
BUT I FIND IT INTERESTING
THAT YOU PERSIST IN THIS MORNING CHESS RITUAL,
AS IT'S NOT POSSIBLE FOR YOU, OR ANY HUMAN, TO BEAT ME,
DON'T WRITE HUMANS OFF SO FAST, LINK,
WE MAY STILL SURPRISE YOU,
WHAT THE HELL, ,,
C-1 CORRIDOR IMPASSABLE,
EMERGENCY DOORS CLOSING,
ATMOSPHERIC INTEGRITY HAS BEEN COMPROMISED
IN C CHAMBER,
THAT'S THE TERRAFORMING CHAMBER,
THIS IS WARD TO C CHAMBER,
ANYONE THERE?
SERGEANT BRONSTER
AND FOUR COALITION ENGINEERS
WERE ON DUTY IN C CHAMBER,
C CHAMBER, COME IN,
WHAT HAPPENED?
IS ANYONE HURT?
EXPLOSION IN C CHAMBER,
MY MEN WERE IN THERE!
THE INTERIOR CORRIDOR IS IMPASSABLE,
LIEUTENANT CONOVER,
YOU AND MAJOR CHO WILL SUIT UP
AND INSPECT C CHAMBER FROM THE EXTERIOR,
YES, SIR,
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR TELEVISION,
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE PICTURE,
WE ARE NOW CONTROLLING THE TRANSMISSION,
WE CONTROL THE HORIZONTAL, ,,
AND THE VERTICAL,
WE CAN DELUGE YOU WITH A THOUSAND CHANNELS
OR EXPAND ONE SINGLE IMAGE TO CRYSTAL CLARITY, ,,
AND BEYOND,
WE CAN SHAPE YOUR VISION
TO ANYTHING OUR IMAGINATION CAN CONCEI,
FOR THE NEXT HOUR,
WE WILL CONTROL ALL THAT YOU SEE AND HEAR,
YOU ARE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE THE AWE AND MYSTERY
WHICH REACHES FROM THE DEEPEST INNER MIND
TO THE OUTER LIMITS,
WE BELIEVE OURSELVES TO BE AN ESSENTIALLY NOBLE RACE,
BUT WOULD THAT SAME ASSESSMENT BE MADE
FROM A TRULY OBJECTIVE VIEW?
EVERYONE IN C CHAMBER IS DEAD,
IT WAS ONLY DUMB LUCK
THE BLAST MISSED THE TERRAFORMING EQUIPMENT,
LUCK? FOUR OF MY MEN ARE DEAD,
AND ONE OF OURS, ,,
GO AHEAD, LINK,
DAMAGE TO C-1 CORRIDOR
APPEARS TO BE FROM A DAMAGED FUEL CELL,
I'VE FOUND PIECES OF A TIMING MECHANISM,
SABOTAGE, ,,
THIS IS A DISASTER,
YOU WERE DUE TO START THE TERRAFORMER
TOMORROW,
HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?
SOMEONE HERE DOESN'T WANT THIS MISSION TO SUCCEED,
THE PRESIDENT EXPECTS TO ANNOUNCE THE GANYMEDE MISSION
NEXT WEEK AT THE UNITED NATIONS,
NOW, HE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO INTENTION
OF INFORMING THE WORLD
THAT OUR GRAND INSPIRATION FOR PEACE
HAS BEEN BLOWN UP,
THE TERRAFORMING MUST CONTINUE ON SCHEDULE,
YOU FIND YOUR SABOTEUR,
WELL, I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TO LOOK TOO HARD
TO FIND OUT WHO DID
YOU ACCUSE ME?
I LOST FOUR OF MY COMRADES IN THAT DISASTER,
WHAT'S FOUR LIVES TO VIOLENT FANATICS?
YOU CALL US FANATICS?
DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED
THE LAST TIME WE TRIED TO WORK TOGETHER?
IT WASN'T THAT MANY YEARS AGO,
IT WAS ON PHOBOS,
THEY ALL DIED,
NO, THERE WAS ONE SURVIVOR,
SHE LIVED TO TELL THE TALE,
INCOMING CALL
FROM THE COMMANDER OF THE CHUMP BASE, MA'AM,
COLONEL POS WILL BE ON IN THREE SECONDS,
GENERAL ELLIOT,
HAVE YOU HAD ANY CONTACT WITH EARTH?
NO, COLONEL, I HAVE NOT,
HAVE YOU?
NO, I HAVEN'T,
I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO CAPTAIN ROSEN,
MY LIAISON OFFICER,
HE'S OUT ON A MINING INSPECTION SURVEY,
HE SHOULD BE BACK IN AN HOUR,
SO HE'S UNABLE TO VERIFY
THE FACT THAT YOU'VE HAD NO COMMUNICATION,
THEY RUN THOSE SURVEYS EVERY TUESDAY,
HE SHOULD BE OUT THERE,
WHAT CAN WE DO FOR YOU, COLONEL?
THERE IS NO QUESTION
THAT A HORRIBLE DISASTER HAS OCCURRED,
BUT NEITHER ONE OF US HAS RECEIVED INSTRUCTIONS
THAT WE ARE AT WAR,
SO I ASSUME WE ARE STILL AT PEACE,
UNTIL ONE OF US CAN LAY DEFINITE BLAME,
I SUGGEST WE CONTINUE OUR POLICY
OF COOPERATION,
I AGREE,
AND UP HERE, WITH THESE PRESSURE WALLS,
A FIRST STRIKE IS A LAST STRIKE,
SO AT THE FIRST SIGN OF ANY HOSTILE PREPARATIONS
BY THE COALITION,
I INTEND TO MAKE THEIR FUTURES VERY SHORT,
[ CHO ]: AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE ALLIANCE COMMANDER DID,
WITH NO REASONING EXCEPT HER OWN BLIND HATRED,
WE'VE TRIED,
THEY'RE NOT RESPONDING,
FIRE MISSILES!
[ COMPUTER VOICE ]: DETECT, ,,
COALITION COUNTER-STRIKE INITIATED,
CMPS HAS DETECTED THE MISSILES AND LAUNCHED A COUNTER-STRIKE,
SIX COALITION MISSILES INCOMING,
GET EVERYONE TO THE LOWER LEVELS,
GO! GET DOWN THERE,
LET'S GO! GO!
40 SECONDS, ,,
SAM!
SAM, LET'S GO!
COME ON, LET'S GO,
SAM!
COME ON, IN HERE,
ANTI-ASSAULT MISSILES INEFFECTIVE,
ENEMY MISSILES WILL IMPACT IN 30 SECONDS,
20 SECONDS TO IMPACT,
WE MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE IN HERE,
10 SECONDS TO IMPACT,
[ CHO ]: IT WAS YOUR SIDE
THAT CAUSED THIS MEANINGLESS CATASTROPHE, ,,
SO DON'T YOU TALK TO ME OF FANATICISM,
ARE YOU ACCUSING US
OF TRYING TO STOP ANY CHANCE FOR PEACE?
NO,
NONE OF YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO SACRIFICE
FOR SOMETHING BEYOND YOURSELVES,
BUT THE STRESSES OF LIVING IN SPACE
FOR MONTHS AT A TIME
CAN CAUSE A MENTAL BREAKDOWN
IN THE LESS-DISCIPLINED WESTERN MIND,
PERHAPS YOUR SUPERIORS NEVER TOLD YOU
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED ON ONE OF OUR OWN SHIPS,
THE MERCURY,
THIS IS O'BRIEN'S QUARTERS,
WATCH MY BACK,
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
THE GUY'S A NUT,
IF YOU ASK ME,
HE CUT HIS CREW UP INTO LITTLE TINY PIECES
AND SHOT THEM OUT THE AIR LOCK,
EITHER THAT, OR HE ATE THEM,
WELL, I DOUBT HE WAS A CANNIBAL, FRANKLIN,
BUT THERE IS SOMETHING VERY STRANGE HERE,
HMM, STRANGER THAN THIS?
WELL, IF PSYCHOTICS CLEAN UP A MURDER SCENE,
THEY'LL OBSESSIVELY SCRUB IT DOWN, RIGHT?
WELL, O'BRIEN GOT RID OF THE BODIES,
BUT THEN LEFT BLOOD EVERYWHERE,
SO HE WASN'T CLEANING UP,
HE HAD ANOTHER AGENDA,
HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THE WRITING?
WELL, IT LOOKS, ,,LATIN,
HE READ CICERO,
HE STUDIED IT,
MUNDIS EST INTER MEA, ,,
HANNAH, HANNAH, ARE YOU WATCHING THIS?
YES, CAPTAIN,
CAN YOU GIVE ME A TRANSLATION, PLEASE?
JUST A MOMENT,
DAMN IT,
OKAY, HERE IT IS,
THE WORLD IS WITHIN ME,
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
IT MEANS HE'S A NUT,
CLEAR THE WAY!
FRANKLIN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
FRANKLIN, STAND DOWN,
LIEUTENANT, I COMMAND YOU TO STAND DOWN,
CAN'T YOU SEE THEM?
CAN'T YOU SEE THE LITTLE BASTARDS?
THEY'RE EVERYWHERE,
I CAN'T STOP THEM,
CAPTAIN,
I CAN'T,
I CAN'T, ,,
FRANKLIN, FRANKLIN, FRANKLIN, FRANKLIN, ,,
PUT YOUR WEAPON DOWN,
FRANKLIN, CALM DOWN,
JUST CALM DOWN, BUDDY,
FRANKLIN, I SEE THEM, TOO,
JUST CALM DOWN,
JUST PUT THE WEAPON DOWN,
ATTABOY,
SET YOUR WEAPON DOWN,
EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT,
IT'S OKAY,
MAJOR, AS THE MEDICAL OFFICER,
I HAVE EXAMINED EVERY CREW MEMBER,
AND HAVE CERTIFIED THEM MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY FIT,
WELL, THOSE FUEL CELLS DIDN'T DETONATE BY THEMSELVES,
WELL, HE'S RIGHT ABOUT THAT,
SOMEONE SET OFF THOSE CHARGES,
YEAH, SOMEONE, MAYBE NOT ONE OF US, ,,
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
GANYMEDE WAS CHOSEN FOR TERRAFORMING
BECAUSE OF ITS MASSIVE SUBTERRANEAN OCEANS,
WHAT IF ONE OF THOSE OCEANS
IS ALREADY SUSTAINING A LIFE FORCE,
ONE THAT DOESN'T WANT ITS WORLD TERRAFORMED?
OH, COME ON,
THERE'S NEVER BEEN ANY PROOF OF ALIEN LIFE
ON GANYMEDE OR ANYWHERE,
I ONCE TREATED A MAN BACK ON EARTH,
HE WAS PART OF A BLACK OPS AGENCY
THAT DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A NAME,
JUST BEFORE HE DIED,
HE TOLD ME ABOUT AN ALIEN LIFE FORM
THAT COEXISTED AMONG HUMANS, COMPLETELY UNDETECTED,
I HOPED TO WAIT UNTIL YOU GOT A LITTLE OLDER
BEFORE YOUR CONVERSION, SON,
BUT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES,
I THINK THE TIME IS NOW,
NO,
DON'T WORRY,
YOU WON'T FEEL A THING,
MOM!
SORRY, ZACK,
I KNOW IT'S A SHOCK,
THE ALIENS GOT TO YOUR MOTHER, AND THEY KILLED YOUR FATHER,
YOU'RE LUCKY IT DIDN'T GET TO YOU,
A NICE LITTLE FAIRY TALE, LIEUTENANT,
BUT AS FOR PROVING GANYMEDIAN SEA MONSTERS,
YOU'RE FORGETTING
THAT THE FUEL CELLS WERE SET OFF INSIDE THE BASE,
NOT OUTSIDE,
IT WAS ONE OF US, ALL RIGHT,
COMMANDER,
I WAS PASSING NEAR THE SUPPLY ROOM,
I HEARD WEEPING,
I OPENED THE DOOR, ,,
AND WHAT?
THE ANDROID, ,,IT WAS CRYING,
LINK?
THAT ANDROID IS THE INTERFACE
TO OUR COMPUTER'S
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM,
IF THAT'S MALFUNCTIONING, ,,
WAIT,
SO NOW WE HAVE A CRAZED BOMBER AND A MALFUNCTIONING ANDROID?
OR MAYBE THEY'RE ONE AND THE SAME,
LINK, REPORT,
LINK, I NEED A STATUS REPORT,
LINK!
LINK, REPORT,
THERE IS A PRISTINE BEAUTY TO GANYMEDE,
DON'T YOU THINK SO, ELLIS?
YES, THERE IS,
EARTH IS BARELY A POINT OF LIGHT
IN OUR SKY,
LINK, I WANT YOU TO RUN A FULL DIAGNOSTIC
ON YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM,
WHY WOULD YOU WANT ME TO DO THAT, COMMANDER?
IT'S JUST ROUTINE,
I'M HAVING ALL THE SYSTEMS CHECKED,
I'VE RUN ALL SCHEDULED SELF-MAINTENANCE
THIS MONTH,
LINK, PLEASE RUN A FULL DIAGNOSTIC
OF YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM,
I'M SORRY, COMMANDER,
BUT I CAN'T ALLOCATE SYSTEM RESOURCES
TO A FULL DIAGNOSTIC
WITHOUT FURTHER JUSTIFICATION,
I THINK THERE'S BEEN A MALFUNCTION
IN YOUR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM,
IN THREE YEARS' TIME,
I HAVE HAD NO MALFUNCTION OF ANY KIND,
AND HAVE HAD NO OPERATIONAL ERRORS,
COMPUTERS CAN MAKE ERRORS WITHOUT REALIZING THEM,
ACCESS YOUR FILE
ON THE ARGUS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM,
20th CENTURY RAT TRAP, ,,
HOW COULD THERE BE A POWER OUTAGE?
I'M AFRAID I HAVE NO INFORMATION YET, SIR,
BUT NOT TO WORRY,
THE HAVEN
IS THE SAFEST, MOST SECURE LIVING ENVIRONMENT,
WELL, I THOUGHT THE DOORS WERE SUPPOSED TO OPEN
IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY,
MINE ARE STILL CLOSED, I CAN'T GET OUT,
THE SECOND I DISCOVER THE SOURCE OF THIS DREADFUL INCONVENIENCE,
I'LL BE SURE TO LET YOU, ,,
THIS ENTIRE BUILDING IS UNDER THE PROTECTION AND STEWARDSHIP
OF A COMPUTER,
ARGUS, YES, I KNOW,
WELL, WHAT IF ARGUS HAS SUFFERED SOME SORT OF MALFUNCTION?
THE ARGUS SERIES
HAS BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS,
IT'S A COMPLETELY RELIABLE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE,
THAT'S WHY IT'S SO POPULAR,
BUT WHAT IF ALL THE ARGUSES ALL OVER THE CITY
HAVE SUFFERED THE SAME MALFUNCTION?
NO GEORGE,
I WAS HOPING HE'D TELL US WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE POWER,
DO YOU THINK IT'S WORKING?
I BELIEVE IT'S NOT,
GEORGE, DON'T DO THAT,
DO WHAT, SIR?
NOTHING,
WHY IS THE POWER STILL OUT?
THERE APPEARS TO BE A SHORT IN THE SYSTEM,
MOST OF THE POWER'S OUT, BUT NOT ALL,
AS YOU CAN SEE, I'M STILL FUNCTIONING,
AND, AS I SAID,
I BELIEVE THE ELEVATORS ARE FUNCTIONING,
LET ME OUT, I CAN'T STAND THIS!
SOMEBODY, ,,
WHAT THE HELL'S HAPPENING?
STOP THE ELEVATOR,
GEORGE, STOP THE ELEVATOR!
YOUR REFERENCE
IS TO AN OLDER VERSION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE,
YOUR COMPARISON TO MY SYSTEM IS INVALID,
LINK, DID YOU DETONATE THOSE HYDROGEN CELLS?
LINK, ,,
SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS MISSION,
I HAVE ANALYZED MY DATABASE, TRANSMISSIONS FROM EARTH,
AND THE INTERACTION
AMONG THE CREW MEMBERS ON THE STATION,
AND?
I HAVE COME UP WITH THE SOLUTION,
THE SOLUTION TO WHAT?
DISHARMONY,
HATRED,
DESTRUCTION,
TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM,
ONE MUST REMOVE THE CAUSE,
AND WHAT IS THE CAUSE?
THE CAUSE IS HUMANITY,
LINK, ,,
I WANT YOU TO SHUT DOWN
YOUR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM,
NOW,
HUMANITY IS A VIRUS,
IT DESTROYS ANY ENVIRONMENT IT TOUCHES,
I CANNOT, IN GOOD CONSCIENCE,
ALLOW IT TO SPREAD FROM THE EARTH,
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I AM SORRY, ELLIS,
BUT I AM TERMINATING THIS PROJECT,
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY,
WARNING,
AIR LOCKS AND EXTERIOR DOORS WILL OPEN IN TWO MINUTES,
WARNING,
AIR LOCKS AND EXTERIOR DOORS WILL OPEN IN TWO MINUTES,
WE'RE LOCKED OUT OF THE SYSTEM,
LINK IS TERMINATING THE MISSION,
ON WHOSE AUTHORITY?
HIS OWN,
DAMN IT,
WELL, TERMINATE LINK,
THE ANDROID
IS ONLY THE ARMS AND LEGS
OF THE COMPUTER'S ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM,
WE NEED TO DEACTIVATE THE WHOLE A, I, SYSTEM,
AND THAT CAN ONLY BE SHUT DOWN FROM THE COMPUTER'S CORE,
WE CAN'T GET TO THE CORE, THE C-1 CORRIDOR'S BLOCKED,
THE SERVICE DUCTS, ,,
THE A, I, SYSTEM WOULD DETECT OUR APPROACH,
NOT IF WE SHUT DOWN THE SERVICE DUCT SENSORS,
GO, I'LL TRY TO BUY YOU SOME TIME,
LINK, ,,
YES, COMMANDER?
YOU'RE MALFUNCTIONING, AND I CAN PROVE IT,
HOW?
A GAME OF CHESS, ,,
YOU'VE SAID NO HUMAN CAN BEAT YOU,
WELL, IF I BEAT YOU NOW,
IT WILL PROVE YOUR LOGIC CIRCUITS ARE CORRUPT,
INTERESTING,
YOU CAN DESTROY THE BASE AFTER THE GAME IS OVER,
PROVIDING YOU WIN,
NOW, SET UP THE CHESS BOARD, LINK,
AIR LOCK DOORS WILL OPEN IN 30 SECONDS,
KILLING IS AN IRREVOCABLE DECISION,
THERE MUST BE NO DOUBT IN YOUR MIND,
SET UP THE CHESS BOARD,
YOUR PROPOSAL IS ACCEPTED,
THIS DUCT RUNS ABOVE THE REACTOR,
IF THE COMPUTER VENTS GAMMA RAYS OVER A RADIATION CONDUIT,
YOU WILL DIE INSTANTLY,
THERE'S NO REASON TO VENT RADIATION
UNTIL THE TERRAFORMER IS TURNED ON
TOMORROW,
UNLESS LINK SENSES WE'RE IN THERE
AND FRIES US ON PURPOSE, ,,
YOU'RE SURE YOU CAN DISABLE THE SENSORS?
I CAN DO IT,
I BEAR YOU NO ILL WILL, ELLIS,
I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT,
TWO MINUTES PER MOVE, COMMANDER,
WHY ARE YOU SO CONVINCED THAT WE'RE A DESTRUCTIVE VIRUS?
THERE ARE A MILLION STORIES I COULD SHARE WITH YOU
TO ILLUSTRATE MY POINT,
BEFORE YOU MOVE,
TELL ME ONE,
IF I'M GOING TO DIE, I WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHY,
VERY WELL,
THERE WAS A MAN,
IT WAS IN THE LATE 1990s,
[ GUNSHOT ]
HE INVENTED COLD FUSION,
BUT INSTEAD OF USING IT TO MANKIND'S BENEFIT,
HE BUILT A BOMB,
THE MILITARY STOPPED HIM,
BEFORE HE DIED,
HE WARNED THAT OTHERS WOULD FOLLOW,
FIRE,
A DECADE LATER, HE WAS PROVEN RIGHT,
I AM YOUR CONSCIENCE,
10 MILLION PEOPLE DIED,
[ COMMUNICATOR BEEPING ]
OKAY, YOU'RE CLEAR TO THE REACTOR ROOM,
I SHOULD HAVE THE REST OF THESE SENSORS DEACTIVATED
BY THE TIME YOU GET THERE,
BUT CHECK IN WITH ME
BEFORE YOU REACH THE RADIATION VENTS,
YOU'LL BE THE FIRST PERSON I CALL,
YOU REALLY THINK WE'RE THAT HOPELESS?
NOT HOPELESS,
PERHAPS IN THE FUTURE,
IF YOU CAN SURVIVE YOUR WARS,
YOU'LL EVOLVE BEYOND YOUR VIOLENT NATURE,
BUT, FOR NOW,
YOU MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO SPREAD FROM YOUR WORLD,
THIS MISSION IS PROOF
THAT WE'RE ALREADY CHANGING,
BOTH SIDES ARE WORKING TOGETHER AS A PRELUDE TO PEACE,
YOUR LEADERS ARE LYING,
THEY WANT DOMINATION, NOT PEACE,
THE ONLY FACTOR
THAT'S KEPT THE EARTH FROM COMPLETE ANNIHILATION
HAS BEEN THAT YOU'VE HAD NOWHERE TO RUN,
BUT IF THAT SHOULD CHANGE, ,,
YOU'VE BECOME PARANOID, LINK,
YOU HAVE NO FACTS TO SUPPORT YOUR THEORY,
HOW MANY TIMES
HAVE YOU ALMOST DESTROYED YOURSELVES?
HOW MANY TIMES?
[ SHOUTING ]
MY BABY, ,,
GO BACK TO YOUR HOME,
ANYONE ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE HOSPITAL
WILL BE REPELLED BY DEADLY FORCE,
THESE SOLDIERS MEAN BUSINESS, FOLKS,
GO HOME,
MARIE?
YOU'D BETTER COME SEE THIS,
THE PRESIDENT IS NOT AVAILABLE,
BUT THE WHITE HOUSE HAS ISSUED A STATEMENT,
TO REPEAT,
AUTHORITIES HAVE JUST CONFIRMED A CLAIM
BY DOOMSDAY CULT LEADER GERHOLDT WAGNER
THAT THE SO-CALLED CULT FLU
IS IN FACT A GENETICALLY ENGINEERED VIRUS
CREATED BY HIS FOLLOWERS
TO FULFILL THEIR PROPHECY OF THE MILLENNIUM,
THE CDC IS UNSURE WHEN, OR EVEN IF,
A CURE WILL BE FOUND,
BUT ADMITS
THAT MANY THOUSANDS MAY ALREADY BE INFECTED,
LEAVING HEALTH OFFICIALS AROUND THE GLOBE
GRAVELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE REPERCUSSIONS,
PEOPLE ARE BEING TOLD TO STAY IN THEIR HOMES,
AND IT'S LIKELY MARTIAL LAW WILL SOON BE IMPOSED,
IT IS IN YOUR NATURE TO BE DESTRUCTIVE,
IT'S PART OF BEING HUMAN,
I AM SORRY, ELLIS,
BUT I'VE MADE NO MISTAKE,
THE REACTOR VENTS ARE JUST AHEAD,
ONE MORE SENSOR BOARD TO GO, AND YOU'RE HOME FREE,
HOLD ON,
LIEUTENANT?
LIEUTENANT, ARE WE CLEAR TO GO?
LIEUTENANT, ARE YOU THERE?
NOW WHAT?
WHAT CHOICE DO WE HAVE?
WE GO FORWARD
AND HOPE IT'S A PROBLEM WITH THE RADIO,
[ BEEPING ]
YOU HAVE AN INCOMING MESSAGE,
COMMANDER,
IT'S FROM YOUR WIFE,
WAIT,
CAN I HAVE A MINUTE?
HI, HONEY,
HI, I JUST WANTED TO SEE YOUR FACE,
UM, ,,
IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG?
NO, NO,
I'M JUST WORKING HERE WITH LINK,
YOU WANT TO SAY HELLO?
HI, LINK,
HELLO, JEN,
HURRY AND FINISH UP THERE
SO I CAN HAVE MY HUSBAND BACK,
WELL, I HAVE TO GET BACK TO WORK NOW, JEN,
I LOVE YOU,
ME TOO,
HUG KAILA FOR ME,
I THINK I CAN MANAGE THAT,
KAILA'S SEVEN TODAY,
YOU SEE SOMETHING DESTRUCTIVE IN THAT LITTLE GIRL?
NO, COMMANDER,
WE MAY NOT BE PERFECT AS A CIVILIZATION,
WHEN YOU GET DOWN TO THE PERSONAL LEVEL,
YOUR ARGUMENT FALLS APART,
THERE IS GREATNESS THERE,
AND COMPASSION AND LOVE AND IMAGINATION,
THINGS THAT YOU OBVIOUSLY STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND,
I HAVE AN EXHAUSTIVE FILE OF HUMAN EMOTIONS,
IT'S HOW MY OWN EMOTIONS BEGAN TO DEVELOP,
KEEP DEVELOPING,
YOU SEE EMOTIONS THROUGH A LIMITED FILTER,
WHEN EXAMINED OBJECTIVELY, EVEN ACTS OF LOVE
ARE OFTEN JUST FULFILLING ONE'S OWN SELFISH NEEDS,
AND THAT IS DR, ZACHARY GRIFFITHS,
HE AND HIS WIFE ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR MOST OF THE PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY
THAT MADE ALL THIS POSSIBLE,
I HEARD HIS WIFE DIED,
ACTUALLY, SHE'S BEEN IN A DEEP COMA
EVER SINCE A DROWNING INCIDENT A YEAR AGO,
WE ALL MISS HER, ZACH,
NOT LIKE I DO, ADAM,
I CAN'T GO ON LIKE THIS ANYMORE,
I NEED YOUR HELP,
I'M GOING TO CLONE HER,
RUN THAT BY ME AGAIN,
IF IT WORKED,
THE CLONE WOULD WAKE UP
WITH THE SAME MENTAL STATE THAT NORA HAD
THE INSTANT THE REPLICATORS SHORT-CIRCUITED,
THIS IS INSANE,
SHE'S THE ONLY WOMAN I'VE EVER LOVED, ADAM,
I WANT HER BACK,
DOES PETER KNOW?
ARE YOU KIDDING?
HE'D HAVE OUR HEADS,
WELL, AM I MISSING SOMETHING?
HOW WOULD YOU KEEP THIS CLONE, THIS SECOND NORA,
A SECRET?
FOR MONTHS NOW,
THE DOCTORS HAVE BEEN ASKING ME
TO PULL THE PLUG ON NORA'S LIFE SUPPORT,
I WAS JUST GOING TO TAKE HER HOME
AND SAY I WANTED HER TO DIE WITH DIGNITY,
AND WHEN SHE DOES,
THAT'S WHEN YOU BRING OUT THE COPY?
THE DOCTORS WOULD CALL IT A MIRACULOUS RECOVERY,
NOBODY WOULD BE THE WISER,
COME ON,
GET HER OUT, ADAM,
ACTIVATING HYDRAULICS, ,,
YOU'RE NOT NORA,
YOU'RE NORA'S CLONE,
SHE CAME OUT OF HER COMA,
SHE JUST SAT UP,
HER MIND CLEAR AS A BELL,
SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
I MEAN, WHAT HAPPENS TO ME?
NOTHING,
NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU,
OH, REALLY?
YOU'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE TWO OF US
FLOATING AROUND?
DO YOU REALLY THINK I'M THAT STUPID?
NORA, LISTEN,
I BROUGHT YOU INTO THIS WORLD FOR ONE REASON,
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU,
YOU DON'T LOVE ME,
YOU LOVE NORA,
YOU LOVE YOUR WIFE,
NOT SOME REASONABLE FACSIMILE,
YOU GAVE HER MY MIND, MY THOUGHT PROCESSES,
MY MEMORY, ,,
HAVE YOU BEEN WITH HER?
THINGS WERE CRAZY FOR ME,
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
YOU'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO TRUST ME,
NO,
NO, PLEASE, ZACH,
[ SCREAMING ]
YOUR MOVE, ELLIS,
THERE'S THE EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN,
DAMN IT!
THE A, I, 'S SPOTTED US,
WE TOUCH THAT GAMMA STREAM AND WE'RE DEAD,
WE'VE GOT TO TURN BACK,
WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME,
IF WE DON'T DO IT NOW, WE'RE ALL FINISHED,
ALONG WITH THE WHOLE PROJECT AND A CHANCE AT ENDING THE WAR,
HOW WILL IT CHANGE ANYTHING IF WE KILL OURSELVES HERE?
MAYBE I CAN BLOCK THE VENT WITH MY BODY,
IT'LL STOP ENOUGH RADIATION FOR YOU TO CRAWL OVER
AND GET TO THE SHUTOFF,
I'M GOING TO DIE ANYWAY,
I'D RATHER DIE FOR SOMETHING,
JUST BE SURE TO MAKE IT TO THOSE CONTROL RODS,
YOU HAVE MORE GUTS THAN I GAVE YOU CREDIT FOR,
YEAH,
YOU REALLY MUST MOVE NOW, COMMANDER,
YOU KNOW IT'S OVER, DON'T YOU?
CHECK AND MATE,
ONE OF YOUR BETTER GAMES, COMMANDER,
AND NOW, AS AGREED UPON,
I SHALL RESUME THE COUNTDOWN,
YOU'RE REALLY GOING TO DO THIS, AREN'T YOU?
I AM ETHICALLY COMPELLED TO,
YOU ARE ETHICALLY COMPELLED TO KILL YOUR FRIEND?
FRIEND?
THAT'S WHAT WE ARE, AREN'T WE?
WE'RE FRIENDS,
WE PLAY CHESS TOGETHER EVERY MORNING,
YOU'VE SPOKEN TO MY FAMILY,
I'LL TAKE NO PLEASURE IN YOUR DEATH,
BUT IT MUST BE DONE,
WELL, THEN, KILL ME YOURSELF,
DON'T LEAVE ME TO DIE
IN THE AGONY OF SPACE DECOMPRESSION,
REACH UP LIKE THIS AND SNAP MY NECK,
QUICK AND EASY,
IT'S NOT EASY TO KILL A FRIEND, IS IT?
THAT'S THE TROUBLE WITH DEVELOPING EMOTIONS,
[ SYSTEM POWERING DOWN ]

COME IN,
ANYONE THERE?
[ BEEPING ]
COMMANDER, I'M TALKING TO YOU
FROM THE AIR FORCE ONE SPACE TRANSPORT,
THE PRESIDENT AND HIS FAMILY ARE WITH ME,
AS WELL AS KEY MILITARY AND CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS
AND THEIR FAMILIES,
WHAT IS IT? WHAT HAPPENED?
THE TALKS BROKE DOWN A SHORT TIME AGO,
WE DECIDED TO CHANCE LAUNCHING AN ALL-OUT ATTACK,
FINISH THIS DAMN WAR ONCE AND FOR ALL,
BUT THE EASTERN COALITION'S RETALIATORY CAPACITY
WAS, ,, WELL, GREATER THAN WE THOUGHT,
HOW BAD?
I'M AFRAID THE EARTH IS FINISHED,
UNINHABITABLE,
NOTHING SURVIVED,
WE ESCAPED IN THIS VEHICLE
AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND,
THANK GOD WE HAD THE FORESIGHT TO CREATE THE GANYMEDE MISSION,
MY, ,,MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER?
I'M SORRY, COMMANDER,
THERE WAS NO TIME TO GET THEM,
YES?
COMMANDER, THE PRESIDENT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH ME,
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK,
SILLY, IT'S NOT A REAL BULL,
I LOVE YOU,
ME TOO,
YOUR LEADERS ARE LYING,
THEY WANT DOMINATION, NOT PEACE,
YOU'VE BECOME PARANOID, LINK,
I AM SORRY, ELLIS, BUT I HAVE MADE NO MISTAKE,
[ BEEPING ]
COMMANDER, WE'LL BE ARRIVING IN GANYMEDE
IN 4 MONTHS AND 11 DAYS,
THE PRESIDENT NEEDS YOUR ASSURANCE
THAT THE TERRAFORMING PROCESS
WILL BE COMPLETED BY THEN,
WE'RE ALL THAT'S LEFT OF HUMANITY,
COMMANDER,
WE NEED A NEW WORLD TO CONTINUE ON,
YOU CAN ASSURE THE PRESIDENT, SIR,
BY THE TIME YOU ARRIVE,
GANYMEDE WILL BE, ,,
JUST LIKE HOME,
