1. Okay. It's in stasis.Copy !req
2. I've killed the security cams in the area.Copy !req
3. I don't see any way around it.Copy !req
4. To find out what's been happening,Copy !req
5. we have to go to one of their areas
on the maps that's been blanked out.Copy !req
6. And when I say "we," I mean me.Copy !req
7. Why you?Copy !req
8. Because I have expertise in terraforming.Copy !req
9. I can take samples and measurements
and be in and out quickly.Copy !req
10. It makes sense to go there,
but what about safety?Copy !req
11. I'll go. If you're going.Copy !req
12. - Gura.
- Oh, I have weapons training.Copy !req
13. You have to monitor from the habitat.Copy !req
14. Bharadwaj is a geochemist.
If she was well, it would be useful—Copy !req
15. I'm sorry.
You should just take the SecUnit.Copy !req
16. Absolutely not.Copy !req
17. Oh, I see. That's why we're in the hopper.Copy !req
18. - Because you don't trust it.
- That's correct.Copy !req
19. - Yes, but you don't trust anyone.
- I trust you. I trust this team.Copy !req
20. I just don't trust anyone or anything
that comes from the Company.Copy !req
21. And you have good reason for that.Copy !req
22. - You do.
- Yes. We love you, Gura.Copy !req
23. Yeah. We really do, Gugu.Copy !req
24. Can we stay on track?Copy !req
25. I-I wanna resolve this
before it comes out of stasis.Copy !req
26. I went in and talked to it.Copy !req
27. You did?Copy !req
28. I wanted to draw my own conclusion.Copy !req
29. And? Do you think we can trust it?Copy !req
30. I feel that we can, but I think...Copy !req
31. we have to be cautious.Copy !req
32. It seems like
it's going through something.Copy !req
33. - SecUnits don't go through things.
- I know, I know...Copy !req
34. They kill and they maim things.Copy !req
35. And then when they malfunction,
they get melted down for material,Copy !req
36. which is the first thing
that's gonna happen to SecUnitCopy !req
37. when we get back to Port FreeCommerce.Copy !req
38. I'm gonna see to it personally,
but until that time...Copy !req
39. we need to stay out of its way.Copy !req
40. I don't want it to look—Copy !req
41. Hi. Hi.Copy !req
42. - Bharadwaj.
- What's going on?Copy !req
43. You having a secret meeting?Copy !req
44. - I love a secret meeting.
- Oh.Copy !req
45. - You look so much better.
- I'm feeling so much better.Copy !req
46. Our med bay is amazing,Copy !req
47. - and the stimulants are effective too.
- Yes, they are.Copy !req
48. - Who fixed my... my suit?
- Oh, yeah. That was me. I did that.Copy !req
49. He did not do that. I did that.Copy !req
50. - You're welcome.
- I love it. Thank you. Thank you.Copy !req
51. Yes. Oh!Copy !req
52. - I don't...
- Oh, bring it in.Copy !req
53. - Oh, yeah. No. That still hurts. Yeah.
- Oh. Oh. Oh. Sorry.Copy !req
54. - Okay. Let's have a seat.
- What's happening? What's happening?Copy !req
55. - Does anybody have some water?
- We'll get some, okay?Copy !req
56. The missing areas on the maps.
We have to go investigate.Copy !req
57. Great. I'm in.Copy !req
58. I guess I'll close the fucking door.Copy !req
59. I was in my repair cubicle,Copy !req
60. waiting for the last of my organic parts
to be regrown.Copy !req
61. I'd been in stasis all night,Copy !req
62. and my clients had decided
to go exploring without me.Copy !req
63. Stupid fucking humans.Copy !req
64. I hope this isn't stupid of us.Copy !req
65. I shouldn't have let you come.
You are still healing.Copy !req
66. I'm good.Copy !req
67. No, I'm... This is good,
to get out there again.Copy !req
68. Okay. We're coming up on it.Copy !req
69. Scanner's acting a little funny.Copy !req
70. Scanners are corporate garbage.Copy !req
71. That was true.
All of their equipment was garbage.Copy !req
72. Yeah. Including me.Copy !req
73. But you know one thing that worked?Copy !req
74. The data mining software
that let me watch them at any time.Copy !req
75. Hey, just leave your SecUnit behind
and go check out some mapping anomalies.Copy !req
76. Even though one of you just got chewed on
by a giant tooth monster.Copy !req
77. Looks fine.Copy !req
78. It's probably best
that SecUnit didn't come along.Copy !req
79. - Yeah. That was smart.
- Yeah. Real smart.Copy !req
80. Bharadwaj's vital signs were spiking,Copy !req
81. and Mensah's were almost as high.Copy !req
82. Remember, SecUnit is from the Company too,Copy !req
83. so if it is untrustworthy...Copy !req
84. Exactly. Yeah.Copy !req
85. Okay. I mean...Copy !req
86. It did save my life.Copy !req
87. Good point.Copy !req
88. Gurathin felt it best to leave it behind.Copy !req
89. SecUnit, can you come see me, please?Copy !req
90. Gurathin.Copy !req
91. What was his fucking problem?Copy !req
92. It was Gurathin, the augmented human,Copy !req
93. who had the systems ability
to keep me in the dark.Copy !req
94. Stop there please, SecUnit.Copy !req
95. Ooh. Look at him,
all fancy with his augments.Copy !req
96. If I'd wanted to sneak up on him,Copy !req
97. I could've snapped his neck
before he knew I was online.Copy !req
98. I'd prefer it if you put your helmet down.Copy !req
99. Now that I know you have a face,
I'd love to see it.Copy !req
100. Oh, great.Copy !req
101. Eye contact.Copy !req
102. I hated eye contact.Copy !req
103. I watched through
the security feed instead.Copy !req
104. Much less creepy that way.Copy !req
105. Please, sit.Copy !req
106. Humans never ask you
to sit with them,Copy !req
107. so sitting isn't really
a comfortable proposition.Copy !req
108. I'm fine standing. Thank you.Copy !req
109. I insist. Sit.Copy !req
110. I understand Dr. Mensah
and Professor BharadwajCopy !req
111. - are out in the hopper.
- I'm in contact with them.Copy !req
112. They're taking all necessary precautions.Copy !req
113. I am a necessary precaution, moron.Copy !req
114. I noticed you have an issue
with eye contact.Copy !req
115. What a strange expression.Copy !req
116. "Eye contact."Copy !req
117. Like our eyes are stalks
coming out of our headsCopy !req
118. and touching other people's eyestalks.Copy !req
119. Okay, weirdo.Copy !req
120. Dr. Gurathin, I recommend
I join the team in the hopper.Copy !req
121. Or that they return immediately. My threat
assessment module indicates that—Copy !req
122. How is your system doing
after yesterday's attack?Copy !req
123. Efficiency is at 97% and rising.Copy !req
124. That's not what I...Copy !req
125. I guess I just don't understand
much about SecUnits.Copy !req
126. What's it likeCopy !req
127. to be you?Copy !req
128. I don't know what it's like to not be me.Copy !req
129. So I can't say what it's like.Copy !req
130. Didn't he have anybody else to bother?Copy !req
131. What were Pin-Lee and Arada doing?Copy !req
132. You're really precious to me.Copy !req
133. Life is so precious.Copy !req
134. I want you to have everything.Copy !req
135. I love you.Copy !req
136. - Ugh, that was worse.
- I love you.Copy !req
137. - SecUnit.
- Yes, Dr. Gurathin.Copy !req
138. Do you know why I advised Dr. Mensah
not to take you along?Copy !req
139. 'Cause you're a dick?Copy !req
140. - No, Dr. Gurathin.
- Because...Copy !req
141. I look at you...Copy !req
142. and I feel something's wrong.Copy !req
143. Oh, shit.Copy !req
144. - I think you should stay in the hopper.
- What?Copy !req
145. - Absolutely not. You need a geochemist.
- I do have a degree in terraforming.Copy !req
146. Sure, but, you know, that's terraforming.Copy !req
147. What's wrong with terraforming?Copy !req
148. Nothing. It's-It's just not geochemistry.Copy !req
149. - Obviously.
- So...Copy !req
150. Bharadwaj, I need you hereCopy !req
151. in case I have to run my arse off
and get this hopper in the air.Copy !req
152. You can keep me safe
by monitoring the hopper sensors.Copy !req
153. Gurathin logged the sound footprint
of one of those creatures.Copy !req
154. If you hear one coming, let me know.Copy !req
155. Yeah.Copy !req
156. Yeah.Copy !req
157. Are you sure?Copy !req
158. I'm sure, I think.Copy !req
159. Even though the last throuple
didn't go so well?Copy !req
160. Yeah. Well, here's the thing.
First off, she was crazy.Copy !req
161. She was dysregulated.Copy !req
162. And second offCopy !req
163. we didn't have a contract,
so everything got very chaotic.Copy !req
164. But I, um... I already drafted one up.Copy !req
165. You said we were in a rut,
and after that thing attacked, I just...Copy !req
166. - Life is short.
- Thank you. Oh, yes!Copy !req
167. - Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- Okay.Copy !req
168. I think this is gonna be great.Copy !req
169. Yeah. Me too.Copy !req
170. I'll go get him.Copy !req
171. This is gonna be great. I'm so, so happy.Copy !req
172. She's so happy.Copy !req
173. I'm happy she's happy.Copy !req
174. Gurathin knew.Copy !req
175. He definitely knew.Copy !req
176. While he was busy
printing himself some nutrition,Copy !req
177. I saw my chance to escape.Copy !req
178. In Preservation Alliance,
we don't have SecUnits.Copy !req
179. Did you know that?Copy !req
180. I couldn't stand the guy,Copy !req
181. but his interrogation technique
was very impressive.Copy !req
182. Preservation Alliance is not
in the Corporation Rim.Copy !req
183. Most certainly is not.Copy !req
184. The prevalent philosophy
in Preservation Alliance is that...Copy !req
185. constructs, AIs, are people.Copy !req
186. I know. It's...Copy !req
187. weird to think about.Copy !req
188. I only joinedCopy !req
189. Preservation a little over six years ago.Copy !req
190. I was friends with Dr. Mensah.Copy !req
191. Why was he telling me this?Copy !req
192. I don't know why I'm telling you all this.Copy !req
193. But I do know thatCopy !req
194. in the Corporation Rim,
you are considered equipment,Copy !req
195. and you have to do what we say.Copy !req
196. Unless it would endanger you, yes.Copy !req
197. Like if I pulped your head
between my hands.Copy !req
198. Okay. Well, I am requiring youCopy !req
199. to make and maintain eye contact.Copy !req
200. There you go. That's not so bad.Copy !req
201. It was so, so bad.Copy !req
202. Mensah, how's it going?Copy !req
203. All right.
Hard to get a footing sometimes.Copy !req
204. Looks like the storm is holding off.Copy !req
205. I've got you on the drone.
No hostiles detected.Copy !req
206. Now, as far as I understand,Copy !req
207. SecUnits are not designed
to form attachments with clients.Copy !req
208. - Is that correct?
- That is correct. Yes.Copy !req
209. There are constructs designed
for such a purpose,Copy !req
210. or the simulacrum of intimacy, correct?Copy !req
211. Comfort Units. Yes.Copy !req
212. "Comfort" meaning...Copy !req
213. Sex.Copy !req
214. They're designed
for sexual relations with humans.Copy !req
215. You were not designed
for sexual relations with humans.Copy !req
216. No.Copy !req
217. Or emotional attachment of any kind.Copy !req
218. And yet,Copy !req
219. yesterday, you were quite empathic
with Dr. Arada while you were helping herCopy !req
220. accompany Professor Bharadwaj
to the hopper.Copy !req
221. Tell me, Dr. Arada,
what planet are you from originally?Copy !req
222. Do you have children?
What are their names?Copy !req
223. So, I guess my question is,Copy !req
224. how is that possible?Copy !req
225. I have a combat trauma module
for helping clients.Copy !req
226. By asking them questions about children?Copy !req
227. Okay, I got it from Episode 537Copy !req
228. of The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon.Copy !req
229. Stay with me, Friess.Copy !req
230. What planet are you from?Copy !req
231. A little place called Sanctuary Moon.Copy !req
232. - Do you have any children?
- Yeah.Copy !req
233. Tell me their names.Copy !req
234. I was programmed
to model interpersonal relations.Copy !req
235. It is a new feature.Copy !req
236. - You're not new.
- To say the least.Copy !req
237. I was told that you were refurbished.Copy !req
238. Refurbished for what?Copy !req
239. Weapons systems orCopy !req
240. organic cloning?Copy !req
241. Your governor module?Copy !req
242. I wish I could tell you, Dr. Gurathin.Copy !req
243. But my memory was erased.Copy !req
244. Okay. Then, here's the deal.Copy !req
245. I'm a very cautious person,
and I care very deeply about my friends.Copy !req
246. So if you were malfunctioning in any way—Copy !req
247. If a SecUnit was malfunctioning,Copy !req
248. it would be extremely dangerous
for everyone involved.Copy !req
249. Including the SecUnit.Copy !req
250. Including the SecUnit.Copy !req
251. - I should check the perimeter.
- Perimeter's fine.Copy !req
252. He didn't go for the "perimeter" thing.Copy !req
253. Gurathin was a hard nut.Copy !req
254. And I could feel him starting to probe
into my recent archives.Copy !req
255. So I decided to show him
something else from my feed.Copy !req
256. Something that was going on
right here in the habitat.Copy !req
257. I am honored. Truly.Copy !req
258. Yeah, we're... we're honored.Copy !req
259. - Completely. Yep.
- Yeah.Copy !req
260. Human copulation.Copy !req
261. But this is the part I skip over
when I'm watching media.Copy !req
262. I could tell Gurathin wasn't
enjoying it too much either.Copy !req
263. Dr. Gurathin?Copy !req
264. Are you all right?Copy !req
265. Yes.Copy !req
266. He wouldn't be probing around
my feed again anytime soon.Copy !req
267. You don't have to look at me anymore.Copy !req
268. I think what I was trying to say is that
I care about my friendsCopy !req
269. and that if they were under
any kind of, you knowCopy !req
270. danger or threat—Copy !req
271. Of course, Dr. Gurathin.Copy !req
272. Anything that is a threat
would have to be eliminated.Copy !req
273. In the meantime, I hope that
you will be satisfied with my service.Copy !req
274. - Wait.
- Wait, what?Copy !req
275. I just got pinged by
the security feed of the hopper.Copy !req
276. Something is happening.Copy !req
277. Bharadwaj. Bharadwaj? Are you reading me?Copy !req
278. Um, my... my sensors, um...Copy !req
279. seem to be going kind of crazy.Copy !req
280. Um, something is making
the equipment glitch.Copy !req
281. Yeah. Seems... be creating... rence.Copy !req
282. Shit.Copy !req
283. She was having another panic attackCopy !req
284. but was too stubborn to turn around.Copy !req
285. Okay.Copy !req
286. If you can hear this, BharadwajCopy !req
287. send the ship's drone ahead
at a sufficient altitude to see the area.Copy !req
288. Hello?Copy !req
289. Dr. Mensah, this is your SecUnit.Copy !req
290. I've detected a potential threat
in the area.Copy !req
291. I must ask you to please stop
what you're doingCopy !req
292. and return to the hopper.Copy !req
293. SecUnit, how are you doing?Copy !req
294. These people. Honestly.Copy !req
295. Dr. Mensah, this is Gurathin.Copy !req
296. I am here with SecUnit.Copy !req
297. It's using the satellite to run comms.Copy !req
298. That's great. Teamwork.Copy !req
299. So beautiful. So beautiful.Copy !req
300. Okay, I, uh, seem to be approaching visualCopy !req
301. of the center of the map lacuna.Copy !req
302. It's just a matter of moments.Copy !req
303. Dr. Mensah, please turn around
and return to the hopper immediately.Copy !req
304. Yes.Copy !req
305. C-Come back.Copy !req
306. I have come this far. Now is no time—Copy !req
307. Did you hear that?Copy !req
308. Okay, fuck it. I'm leaving.Copy !req
309. Professor Bharadwaj, what is your status?Copy !req
310. I'm getting a vibration matchingCopy !req
311. the pattern from the first animal attack.Copy !req
312. Repeat, I'm getting a vibration matching
the pattern from the first animal attack.Copy !req
313. Yes. C-Come back. Come...
Come back now! Ayda!Copy !req
314. Yeah... same...Copy !req
315. Fuck.Copy !req
316. Oh, wow. Do you see the drone feed?Copy !req
317. What the hell could make that happen?Copy !req
318. I don't know. I wasn't there.Copy !req
319. Dr. Mensah's returning to the hopper.Copy !req
320. I would like to check the perimeter.Copy !req
321. With your permission.Copy !req
322. Permission granted.Copy !req
323. SecUnit.Copy !req
324. Try to recover that memory, will you?Copy !req
325. From the refurbish.Copy !req
326. The data that they cleaned
from your memory.Copy !req
327. Or, you know what?
Uh, I'd give it a shot myself.Copy !req
328. - No.
- No?Copy !req
329. I mean, I'll try.Copy !req
330. Hi.Copy !req
331. Mensah, I just wanted to say that I, um,
intend to fix the comms systemCopy !req
332. on the hopper immediately.Copy !req
333. Also, I'm s— I'm sorry that I insisted
SecUnit not follow you on the mission.Copy !req
334. I, uh...Copy !req
335. I also just wanted to say
I'm really happy that you're back.Copy !req
336. Gura.Copy !req
337. I just need to shower.Copy !req
338. Has anyone ever seen anything like that?Copy !req
339. Fungi can grow in circles like that.Copy !req
340. Or at least their rhizomes
break the surface in circles,Copy !req
341. revealing a complex
root structure underneath.Copy !req
342. - It's actually really fascinating if... No?
- Uh, no. No, I don't...Copy !req
343. I don't think those creatures are
connected under the surface.Copy !req
344. And they're definitely not alive.
Not anymore.Copy !req
345. There is something beneath the terrain.Copy !req
346. Something that drew them in,
and it killed them.Copy !req
347. - What?
- Alien remnants.Copy !req
348. - Aliens? Like from one of your shows?
- No, not like from one of my shows.Copy !req
349. Like from millions of years ago.Copy !req
350. Sometimes, surveys find
their old synthetics or power sources.Copy !req
351. Would that explain the gaps
in the survey maps?Copy !req
352. Yes. Alien synthetics could have
glitched the survey satellites.Copy !req
353. Well, it blew our drone out of the sky.Copy !req
354. If it is old alien stuff,
then we'd be fucked.Copy !req
355. You have to stop surveying immediately
so as to not disturb them.Copy !req
356. Yep. 'Cause they're dangerous as shit.Copy !req
357. Or they're just so valuable,Copy !req
358. the Company doesn't want
anybody else to have a stake.Copy !req
359. It is illegal to exploit it.Copy !req
360. Which doesn't stop some people.Copy !req
361. Oh, but I'm not saying us, of course.Copy !req
362. There is another team
on the other side of the planet.Copy !req
363. DeltFall survey. We should ping them
and compare notes, yes?Copy !req
364. - Yeah.
- Good. Okay, we ping. You good?Copy !req
365. Stupid humans.Copy !req
366. Stupid fucking humans
trying their best to get killed.Copy !req
367. And who would get the blame?
Who is gonna get scrapped?Copy !req
368. Me.Copy !req
369. Get yourself killed on your own damn time.Copy !req
370. DeltFall survey,Copy !req
371. this is Mensah, head of PreservationAux.Copy !req
372. Please respond.Copy !req
373. DeltFall survey,
this is PreservationAux survey.Copy !req
374. Please respond.Copy !req
375. DeltFall survey...Copy !req
376. DeltFall survey,
this is PreservationAux survey.Copy !req
377. Please respond.Copy !req
378. DeltFall survey, please respond.Copy !req
379. No answer.
I think their comms must be down.Copy !req
380. We should go and check it out.Copy !req
381. We'll take SecUnit along this time. Okay?Copy !req
382. Sure. What could possibly go wrong?Copy !req
