1. Wow, it's just like that time
Copy !req
2. on the worm farm when I got
caught in the worm silo
Copy !req
3. - and I had a crush
on my neighbor...
- Echo.
Copy !req
4. - and I wanted...
- What are you doing,
Cyan?
Copy !req
5. Oh, I thought maybe
there'd be an echo
Copy !req
6. because the lights are out.
Copy !req
7. That doesn't sound right,
Copy !req
8. but we can test that hypothesis.
Copy !req
9. - Echo.
- Echo.
- ... so I decided
Copy !req
10. - not to kiss any worms.
- Holy crap, it worked.
Copy !req
11. My fishmate Heracles is dead
Copy !req
12. and the oxygen system is down
Copy !req
13. and we need to fix it now
before we all die!
Copy !req
14. So, yeah, I decided
not to kiss any worms
Copy !req
15. because I didn't know if kissing
new worms would be adultery.
Copy !req
16. Your fishmate is dead?
Copy !req
17. I didn't even know
you had an alive fishmate
Copy !req
18. until right now,
Copy !req
19. but the grief is so immense
that it's left me numb.
Copy !req
20. I mean, literally can't feel
my fingers.
Copy !req
21. Look at this. Look at this.
Copy !req
22. It's just
a fishmate, it's fine.
Copy !req
23. - It's not fine.
- The more important thing
Copy !req
24. is for you all to come with me
to the Oxygen Room
Copy !req
25. so we can get you
in your right minds again.
Copy !req
26. Whoa, there, Purple.
Copy !req
27. You're doing the cap— uh, uh—
oh, no, I'm the captain.
Copy !req
28. I'm the captain here,
Copy !req
29. and I captain you all to do
for the oxygen house.
Copy !req
30. I'm leading.
It's good to leading.
Copy !req
31. Oh, uh, this way.
Copy !req
32. Okay, take a deep breath, everyone.
Copy !req
33. and release.
Copy !req
34. All right, how are we feeling?
Is everyone okay?
Copy !req
35. - Yeah.
- Yeah.
I felt normal
Copy !req
36. the whole time.
Copy !req
37. Oxygen deprivation
leads to hypoxia.
Copy !req
38. That's why we let ourselves
get so loopy.
Copy !req
39. I can't believe we didn't know
Copy !req
40. we were all running
out of oxygen.
Copy !req
41. Hey, so, silly question,
I don't know...
Copy !req
42. I didn't mention
anything about, like,
Copy !req
43. worm kissing or anything, did I?
Copy !req
44. Oh, did you ever.
Copy !req
45. I-I just didn't want
to be a home-wrecker.
Copy !req
46. Uh, worm-wrecker—
uh, home-worm.
Copy !req
47. Stop. That oxygen
Copy !req
48. will keep our minds clear
for another,
Copy !req
49. I don't know,
eight minutes and 44 seconds.
Copy !req
50. - We need to fix this fast.
- Don't know how
we're going
Copy !req
51. to fix it without the lights.
Copy !req
52. Hey, what happened
to the lights, anyway?
Copy !req
53. Maybe the lights need oxygen
to breathe, too.
Copy !req
54. Cyan...
Copy !req
55. Let's all calm down.
Copy !req
56. Look, they were definitely
both freak accidents.
Copy !req
57. Honestly, Purps, it was
probably your fishmate.
Copy !req
58. Can we please stop talking
about Heracles?
Copy !req
59. These systems aren't designed
for any foreign entities,
Copy !req
60. so your illegal fishmate
probably gunked it up
Copy !req
61. with all of their long poops.
Copy !req
62. Long poop— we didn't get
an alert about oxygen being low.
Copy !req
63. - There's something else.
- I'm just saying,
Copy !req
64. it's against the rules to
smuggle any petmates on board,
Copy !req
65. so without them, our oxygen
supply would have been fine.
Copy !req
66. If you hadn't been so selfish,
your fishmate
Copy !req
67. - would still be alive.
- Oh! So now it's my fault?
Copy !req
68. It is your fault.
Copy !req
69. - We have rules for a reason.
- Oh, look at big Captain Red,
Copy !req
70. - deflecting the blame again...
- And having
an antiauthoritarian streak
Copy !req
71. - doesn't make you better...
- ... just like MIRA
taught you to do.
Copy !req
72. - You bootlicking worm.
- ... than the rest of us.
Copy !req
73. Whoa. Let's not go
bad-mouthing worms.
Copy !req
74. - ... really not a huge deal.
- You haven't
changed at all.
Copy !req
75. I wish you were dead!
Copy !req
76. I...
Copy !req
77. Purple, that's enough.
Copy !req
78. This is your captain speaking.
Copy !req
79. We're splitting into groups
and fixing our ship.
Copy !req
80. Yellow, Cyan, Black,
Copy !req
81. get to Electrical
and turn on the lights, stat.
Copy !req
82. I'm going to Admin
to enter one side
Copy !req
83. of the oxygen override code
Copy !req
84. to get our systems
back up and running.
Copy !req
85. Green, Brown, Purple,
you stay here
Copy !req
86. and enter the other override
code once I get to Admin.
Copy !req
87. - Got it?
- Uh, you're putting me
in time-out?
Copy !req
88. No. Uh, actually, yes.
Copy !req
89. Does that mean Brown and I
are in time-out, too?
Copy !req
90. No, uh— yes.
Copy !req
91. Uh, you're time-out-adjacent.
Copy !req
92. Keep your eye on that keypad.
Copy !req
93. You three get going.
Copy !req
94. I am good
at being captain, okay?
Copy !req
95. And I'm good at being alive.
Copy !req
96. And I'm especially good
at being both at once.
Copy !req
97. No biggie!
Copy !req
98. I can't believe
we almost died back there.
Copy !req
99. I felt like we were
really breaking
Copy !req
100. some new ground interpersonally.
Copy !req
101. I used to think death
was really beautiful.
Copy !req
102. Turns out, it's just a bunch
of vibrant colors
Copy !req
103. and feeling like I belong.
Disgusting.
Copy !req
104. But it was nice that we were all
getting along so well, right?
Copy !req
105. Cyan, of course
we were getting along so well,
Copy !req
106. my brain was at 20% oxygen.
Copy !req
107. I would have gotten along
with one of Green's kiss worms.
Copy !req
108. Uh, what are you doing?
Copy !req
109. What am I doing?
What are you doing, Black?
Copy !req
110. - What?
- You've been horrible to me
this whole trip.
Copy !req
111. It's not a trip, it's a job.
Copy !req
112. All you ever say is,
"Cyan shouldn't be here this"
Copy !req
113. and "Cyan was
a budget hire that,"
Copy !req
114. and I don't deserve it.
Copy !req
115. It's not my fault
you hate rocks now.
Copy !req
116. And you know what?
I'm not bad at my job.
Copy !req
117. I like my job,
Copy !req
118. and I'm good at doing it.
Copy !req
119. Yeah, I've been taking notes
Copy !req
120. and checking vibes
and researching Ore
Copy !req
121. while you won't even take
a second look at Ore-Plus,
Copy !req
122. even though it's special.
Copy !req
123. It's special ore.
That's what "plus" means!
Copy !req
124. It's all gonna get
melted down anyway, who cares?
Copy !req
125. You cares! You should cares!
Copy !req
126. But you don't cares
about anything anymore.
Copy !req
127. I can fix the lights by myself.
Copy !req
128. Geez. What was that all about?
Copy !req
129. Fixing the lights requires
two competent crewmates.
Copy !req
130. That's why Red had to send
three of us.
Copy !req
131. Well, you've been
kind of an a-hole.
Copy !req
132. - What?
- I didn't always
like Brown.
Copy !req
133. In fact, I was
a real spicy meatball.
Copy !req
134. Too many cooks
in the kitchen, right?
Copy !req
135. What's another chef gonna do
that I can't?
Copy !req
136. Exactly. Wait...
Copy !req
137. But Brown listens to me.
Brown keeps me grounded.
Copy !req
138. When we stand
on each other's shoulders,
Copy !req
139. literally and metaphorically,
Copy !req
140. we can reach the real
high-quality guanciale,
Copy !req
141. literally and metaphorically.
Copy !req
142. And we all know
the best guanciale lives
Copy !req
143. on the top shelf,
because the top shelf is where
Copy !req
144. the air pressure is
the least likely to interfere
Copy !req
145. with the meat's depth of flavor.
Copy !req
146. Plus, when you factor in
humidity—
Copy !req
147. What are you even talking about?
Copy !req
148. See? This is why I need Brown.
Copy !req
149. - Where are you going?
- Got to fix the lights.
Copy !req
150. Yeah, you're right, let's go.
Copy !req
151. Said it yourself.
Copy !req
152. Just need
two competent crewmates.
Copy !req
153. We'll be fine.
Copy !req
154. Permission to be vulnerable?
Copy !req
155. Okay, here I go.
Copy !req
156. Um, I grew up
around a lot of animals.
Copy !req
157. Mostly worms.
Copy !req
158. What I'm trying to say is,
Copy !req
159. I know what it's like
to lose a petmate.
Copy !req
160. It might not seem
like a big deal to other folks,
Copy !req
161. but... are you okay?
Copy !req
162. - Purple?
- Huh?
Copy !req
163. Yeah, sure. I'm fine.
Copy !req
164. Purple... I know you're
going through a lot
Copy !req
165. because of Heracles,
and on top of that,
Copy !req
166. whatever's going on
between you and Red,
Copy !req
167. so... I give you permission
to be vulnerable.
Copy !req
168. Tell me about—
Copy !req
169. I said I'm fine.
Copy !req
170. Everything's fine.
Copy !req
171. You know what? I'm not fine.
Copy !req
172. Crewmates are dying,
and maybe Heracles...
Copy !req
173. If I hadn't brought them...
Copy !req
174. This mission has been
really stressful
Copy !req
175. and I'm having
a really bad time
Copy !req
176. and it's all because Red...
Copy !req
177. We were actually interns
together, back in the day.
Copy !req
178. We were both so happy
to have somebody to work with,
Copy !req
179. someone to rely on.
Copy !req
180. We didn't know it at the time,
but the whole place was
Copy !req
181. understaffed, underfunded,
basically running on fumes.
Copy !req
182. When the reactor started
melting down,
Copy !req
183. Red and I did all we could,
but we were just two interns.
Copy !req
184. It wasn't up to us.
Copy !req
185. Nothing was working.
Copy !req
186. Somehow, nobody died,
but the nuclear fallout
Copy !req
187. made the whole colony
uninhabitable.
Copy !req
188. All because MIRA wanted
to cut corners.
Copy !req
189. Everyone had to leave.
Copy !req
190. And the crewmates were
displaced.
Copy !req
191. It wasn't like MIRA was
gonna help them relocate.
Copy !req
192. The company wanted
to cover it up.
Copy !req
193. I wanted to blow
the whistle, but Red...
Copy !req
194. Red stayed silent.
Copy !req
195. So I got the boot,
Copy !req
196. and as the cherry on top
of the nuclear waste sundae,
Copy !req
197. MIRA made sure no one else
would hire me after that.
Copy !req
198. So the only reason I'm here,
the only reason I have any job,
Copy !req
199. is because of Red's—
I don't know— pity handout?
Copy !req
200. I guess I should be
grateful, but I...
Copy !req
201. I hate that I'm working
for MIRA again.
Copy !req
202. And all Red can talk about is
how amazing they are.
Copy !req
203. Red doesn't even seem to care.
Copy !req
204. And I don't know how
I'm supposed to feel, but...
Copy !req
205. I don't think I'm ready
to forgive Red just yet.
Copy !req
206. Oh! They must have
fixed the lights.
Copy !req
207. Huh?
Copy !req
208. And it seems like Red made it
to the other keypad safely.
Copy !req
209. All right, here we go.
Copy !req
210. One, two, three, four, five.
Copy !req
211. Huh?
Copy !req
212. What's going on?
Copy !req
213. What is it?
Copy !req
214. This is why we never got
Copy !req
215. an alert about oxygen levels.
Copy !req
216. The wire. It's been cut.
Copy !req
217. Ah!
Copy !req
218. Okay, that should do it.
Copy !req
219. Systems online.
Copy !req
220. Oxygen's working.
Copy !req
221. Sup, losers. And Purple.
Copy !req
222. - I thought
you were an alien.
- What?
Copy !req
223. Hang on. Where is everyone else?
Copy !req
224. Where are Yellow and Cyan?
Copy !req
225. Oh, they got all huffy
Copy !req
226. and said they'd take care
of the lights themselves.
Copy !req
227. What you talking about?
Copy !req
228. - Ah!
- Work stuff.
Copy !req
229. Uh, okay, well, everything's
back online now.
Copy !req
230. All thanks to my delegation
and leadership efforts.
Copy !req
231. I told you I was good at this.
Copy !req
232. Actually, it's not that simple.
Copy !req
233. Look, Purple,
Copy !req
234. I know you've had
an "emotional" day, but—
Copy !req
235. The oxygen system didn't
just break on its own.
Copy !req
236. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
237. There's a saboteur onbeurd!
Copy !req
238. Wait, there's a second impostor?
Copy !req
239. And it wasn't Heracles' fault
Copy !req
240. that things went wrong,
like someone was saying.
Copy !req
241. Oh, hey, Yellow.
Copy !req
242. - Yellow?
- Cyan!
Copy !req
243. - Cyan?
- No, Yellow.
Copy !req
244. No, Cyan! Cyan's dead!
Copy !req
245. Keybot, Keybot, Keybot. Keybot.
Copy !req
246. Chirp.
Copy !req
