1. Off. We've got customers.
Copy !req
2. - Greetings, Lydia Martinez.
- I call myself Spider Rose now.
Copy !req
3. We had profitable dealings
with your husband
Copy !req
4. when he administered
the Mechanist colony on Konis.
Copy !req
5. That was eight years ago.
Copy !req
6. Much has changed.
Copy !req
7. Yes, your rivals in the Shaper Council
have since taken control.
Copy !req
8. Taken control?
Copy !req
9. Is that what you call the slaughter
of hundreds by Shaper treachery?
Copy !req
10. Any reduction in the market
is regrettable.
Copy !req
11. Reduction in the market?
Copy !req
12. I didn't know you investors
were so sentimental.
Copy !req
13. So, let's get to business.
Copy !req
14. We understand
you have found something of interest.
Copy !req
15. Yes, my jewel.
Copy !req
16. My theory is that a few million years ago,
Copy !req
17. a chunk of ring ice
laced with exotic matter
Copy !req
18. was struck by a massive charge
of ionic particles,
Copy !req
19. and the superheated metallic carbon
was fused in stasis.
Copy !req
20. You must admit. Its composition is unique.
Copy !req
21. Your find intrigues us.
Copy !req
22. We can offer you
one quarter million gigawatts.
Copy !req
23. I have all the energy I need.
Copy !req
24. We can also give you
a stabilized plasma lattice for storage,
Copy !req
25. an advanced alien technology
you could deconstruct—
Copy !req
26. We can barely assimilate
the human technology we already have.
Copy !req
27. Rare metals. Wealth brings status.
Something most—
Copy !req
28. I'm not interested in status.
I live alone.
Copy !req
29. Crushed your gregarious instincts,
have you?
Copy !req
30. An ominous development.
Copy !req
31. What I need is a weapon.
Copy !req
32. One powerful enough to destroy
an orbital colony the size of, say, Konis.
Copy !req
33. We, of course, have items
that could destroy a fragile habitat,
Copy !req
34. or a whole planet.
Copy !req
35. But as you know, our treaties
strictly forbid the barter of weapons.
Copy !req
36. Then you and I are done.
Copy !req
37. We have nothing worth trading for.
Copy !req
38. Pets, you enjoy them.
Copy !req
39. Please hold one moment.
Copy !req
40. Our race also seeks connection
with lesser beings.
Copy !req
41. This is our mascot,
Little Nose for Profits.
Copy !req
42. It is beloved of us all
Copy !req
43. and will bring us great sorrow
to part from it.
Copy !req
44. But your unwillingness to barter
Copy !req
45. forces us to choose between
losing a potentially lucrative deal
Copy !req
46. or losing its company.
Copy !req
47. He is...
Copy !req
48. cute.
Copy !req
49. But I will not trade my prize
for a used alien pet.
Copy !req
50. He is much more than that,
as you will see.
Copy !req
51. Our proposal is to leave
Little Nose for Profits with you,
Copy !req
52. while we complete
other business in system.
Copy !req
53. We will return in 96 standard days,
Copy !req
54. and you can then choose
between keeping our mascot
Copy !req
55. or your jewel.
Copy !req
56. Ninety-six days.
Copy !req
57. I agree to the trial period.
Copy !req
58. [ambient music playing
Copy !req
59. Don't be shy, then.
Copy !req
60. No native bacteria.
Copy !req
61. Looks like you'll eat most anything.
Copy !req
62. You've got a lot of genetic material.
Copy !req
63. Far more than you need.
Copy !req
64. Far, far more.
Copy !req
65. I see traces of previous forms.
Copy !req
66. Seems like you mimic your owner.
Copy !req
67. I need a nickname for you.
Copy !req
68. How about...
Copy !req
69. Nosey?
Copy !req
70. Nosey?
Copy !req
71. Somebody's hungry.
Copy !req
72. What the...?
Copy !req
73. Hey.
Copy !req
74. It's okay.
Copy !req
75. I've been out here too long.
Copy !req
76. Too long alone.
Copy !req
77. I still have friends out there.
Copy !req
78. People I care about.
Copy !req
79. And unfinished business.
Copy !req
80. Recycled protein.
Copy !req
81. You've eaten all my roaches, so...
Copy !req
82. Uh, uh, uh, uh.
Copy !req
83. Not my finger.
Copy !req
84. Fuck. Shapers.
Copy !req
85. Hello, Lydia.
Copy !req
86. Jade.
Copy !req
87. Imagine my surprise
Copy !req
88. when we intercepted the transmission
to your Mechanist friends on Enceladus.
Copy !req
89. The Shaper Council
thought you had crawled away to die,
Copy !req
90. but I knew you better.
Copy !req
91. How many times have I fucking killed you?
Copy !req
92. Eleven. That I know of.
Copy !req
93. Clones, of course.
Copy !req
94. Never the original.
Copy !req
95. It must have been so unsatisfying,
Copy !req
96. not killing the one
who blew that hole in your husband's head.
Copy !req
97. But here I am at last.
Copy !req
98. Jade Prime.
Copy !req
99. My mission was to kill your husband
and you, Lydia.
Copy !req
100. And I mean to finish it.
Copy !req
101. Ha! Missed me, asshole!
Copy !req
102. Aim for her reactor!
Copy !req
103. Come on! Come on!
Copy !req
104. Fucking die!
Copy !req
105. You'll have to do better than that.
Copy !req
106. I hope you're still alive in here, Lydia.
Copy !req
107. You moldering sack of rust.
Copy !req
108. I want to look into your eyes.
Copy !req
109. Cute.
Copy !req
110. I agree.
Copy !req
111. This is so much more satisfying.
Copy !req
112. 80% atmospheric loss.
Copy !req
113. Eating and nutrient systems offline.
Copy !req
114. Enough oxygen to last a week.
Copy !req
115. Maybe ten days.
Copy !req
116. I still have my jewel.
Copy !req
117. And the investors will return for it.
Copy !req
118. But not soon enough.
Copy !req
119. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
120. I was dead when you came here.
Copy !req
121. You made me want to live again.
Copy !req
122. You saved me.
Copy !req
123. It's okay.
Copy !req
124. You've eaten all my roaches, so...
Copy !req
125. Cute.
Copy !req
