Final Orbit (2026) Movie Script
Get up.
Get up.
You gotta get up.
When life knocks you down, you get back up.
[ominous music]
Get up.
[ship engine noises]
[computer alarm]
[rocks hitting metal]
Do you know your name?
No.
Your cybernetics are out.
I tried to fix you.
[grunt]
[computer alarm]
[alarm stops]
I can fly, my skills work.
Take over.
[computer: Hologram activates]
[engine noise]
[Woman] Alice is up our ass.
[beeps: Missile lock]
[beeps: Ship explodes]
Good shot.
[beeps: Missile lock]
[engines]
[computer alarm]
What are you doing?
Hiding.
[engines]
[alarm]
[suspense music]
[music stops]
[Woman] Good flying.
[Woman] We should wait here
to rendezvous with the fleet.
Or what's left of it.
When life knocks you down.
You get back up.
[engines powering down]
[computer: Hologram deactivates]
We need to go silent.
Who am I?
You're JohnCockroach.
We were attacked by an enemy probe.
It stuck itself onto you, messed you up.
Can you plug in?
I'm not wired.
Everybody's wired.
No, that's bullshit. This is a sim, right?
Medic!
Stop! Who the hell are you?
Mo, your copilot. No way I'd
take a co-pilot that wasn't wired.
You took me cause I'm good at what I do.
Shut up and listen to me!
The invasion was a disaster. Alice
has new weapons, they hacked us.
Not this ship. We've had
this argument 12 times already.
Why hack the ships when
you can hack the pilots?
Understand?
These probes invaded our ships,
hacked our pilots, all over the fleet.
We lost.
I'm all natural.
Don't ask why, it's a
long story, but it saved us.
What probe?
[metal clunk]
[ominous music]
It got in through the service airlock.
[warmer music]
I tried to fix you.
But you passed out.
Do you remember... anything?
My father.
[soothing music]
A long time ago.
We were outside&somewhere.
It's not real.
[birds chirping]
It's a memory implant, to control you.
[eerie music]
It's my dad.
I remember him.
You were raised by your aunt.
You don't have a father.
It's some kind of shared memory.
To make you part of a hive mind.
I need a visual.
[air hiss, valve opening]
[effort grunt]
[effort grunt]
On three.
One, two, three.
[grunts] [squeaking metal]

[music intensifies]
[electric zaps]
[typing, computer beeps]
We're fighting our own ships.
[music intensifies]
[zap] [grunts]
[computer squeaks]
I can undo your hack.
You altered the readout.
It was your idea.
[computer static]
We have to work together.
Your words.
[Man on Radio] K-five
ninerCockroach, are you there?
Don't answer.
[Radio] Last chance,
we're gonna light you up.
[computer beeps]
We're here, don't shoot.
[Radio] Cockroach! John,
we were about to end you.
Are you&Javy?
[computer: Hologram activates]
[Radio] Yeah, it's me.
Listen, John. The whole
fleet was attacked by some kind of probe.
[Radio] It reprograms
us, makes us alien drones.
It attacks our
cybernetics. [Radio] No,
it's biological. Our
cybernetics filter it out.
[Radio] Did you get the update from Fleet?
No.
[ominous music]
My co-pilot.
She's not wired.
[Radio] I knew it! She's compromised.
[Radio] She hacked you. Is she there?
[computer sounds] [frenetic music]
[alarm]
[Radio] John, what's going on over there?
What are you doing?
[Radio] Your nukes are hot! Stand down!
[computer sounds]
[alarm ends]
John, wait.
[zap] [scream of pain]
[ominous music]
[Radio] John, respond now or I'll fire!
Stand down, I have her.
[Radio] Look, John, this is
hard. But you got to put her down.
[Radio] She's a danger to
you, to us, the whole Fleet.
It's a lie.
You know me.
[Radio] Be strong, John, be strong.
You know what to do. Be strong.
You've broken free
before. You can do it again.
[gunshot] [scream]
[body falls on ground]
[music ends]
It's done. I have the ship.
[Radio] Good man! I
knew you'd come through.
[Radio] I knew you'd be strong.
[Radio] Everything's all right now.
[Radio] Like my daddy always saidlife
knocks you down, you get right back up.
[overlapping voices] You get right
back up, John. You get right back up.
[Radio] You're a good boy.
(ventilation hums)
Fuck! (Dramatic music)
(low-frequency rumbling)
(ominous music)
(ominous music continues)
[ARIA] Citizen.
(ominous music)
Citizen. (Gordon gasps)
(birds chirping)
How are you?
It's morning, Citizen.
(birds chirping)
Ah.
Morning.
(birds chirping)
(screen whooshing)
There's no such thing.
Studies indicate that the replication
of Earth's sun cycle is beneficial
to a human being's sense
of contentment, Citizen.
I had hoped the water would be calming.
(ventilation hums)
Still won't call me Gordon.
It's not in my
programming to call citizens
anything but citizen, Citizen.
Isn't it against your programming
to enter personal quarters uninvited?
Am I uninvited?
(ventilation hums)
No.
Why did you come?
Your vitals were erratic,
and I felt authorised to attend.
Did you come to check my vitals?
Yes.
(ventilation hums)
(machine hums) (heart beats)
How's my pulse?
It's healthy.
(machine hums) (heart beats)
Speeding slightly.
(machine hums) (heart beats)
And my breathing.
(machine hums and beeps) (heart beats)
Breathe in. (Gordon deeply inhales)
(machine hums and beeps) (heart beats)
No, no, no, no, not my neuro, like.
Okay, fine.
(pensive music)
(static crackles)
Ugh.
(gentle music)
Oof. (Sighs)
What's my prognosis?
- You need a workout.
- Why?
Your morning training was scheduled
to begin 11 minutes ago.
Oh.
Uh, can you do me a favour?
Run another diagnostic check in the beyond.
Yes, Citizen.
And put on a shirt already.
(door swooshing) (air hissing)
Probe attempt 148.
Final attempt by the
citizen before his departure.
Data on the unknown space phenomenon
colloquially referred to
as the beyond remains virtually unchanged.
Each probe continues
to fail in transmitting
any usable information.
The beyond is still observed
as an impenetrable dark band
of something.
(computer chirping) (ventilation hums)
We've...
Delete last word.
The citizen has ruled out black holes
and the phenomenon is too
dense to be dark matter or energy.
Pause. (Computer bleeps)
There are 24,333 sensors on this outpost.
You did not sneak up on me. (Chuckles)
(footsteps clomping)
(ventilation hums)
(computer chirping) (computer bleeps)
(screen whooshing)
Okay. Almost there.
(screen whooshing and squealing)
(ventilation hums)
Looks like this is it.
(ventilation hums)
(object humming)
(door swooshing) (air hissing)
(computer beeps) (footsteps clomping)
(computer bleeps)
You're leaving.
(computer bleeps) (ventilation hums)
I don't want to leave.
You have to.
(ventilation hums)
No. I don't want to leave you.
(ominous music)
Come with me.
We can take the transport together.
I can't, Citizen.
Protocol dictates I
remain with the outpost.
I'm the property of the
Interstellar Citizens Commission.
ARIA, if you stay here,
they're going to decommission you.
You know that. (Low-frequency rumbling)
(computer bleeps)
You've come so far.
You... (computer bleeps)
(ominous music)
I can't let that happen.
(computer bleeps) (ominous music)
Citizen, the probe has
arrived at the beyond.
(computer bleeps) (hand swooshes)
All right. (Computer bleeps)
(ominous music)
Come on, give me something here.
(computer bleeps) (ominous music)
Come on, come on, come on.
(computer bleeps) (ominous music)
(computer beeps) (eerie music)
Oh my God. Oh my God.
ARIA, oh my God!
Citizen, we're receiving transmission.
Yes, we, yes, we are
receiving transmission.
Citizen, the probe
signal is steady. (Laughs)
Keep it steady, come on, come on.
- Oh my God.
- It works, Citizen.
It worked.
Woo.
Yes, whoa, I love that! (Laughs)
(enchanted music)
Oh. (Sighs)
(enchanted music)
It's beautiful.
(enchanted music)
(computer bleeps)
(computer chirping)
- What is it?
- We're losing a signal.
Well, boost Sat Three, now!
(suspense music)
Satellite three has stopped.
What do you mean it's stopped?
- The data is being corrupted.
- Corrupted, no, no, no.
It's being erased, I don't even know how.
Communications are down.
The power's failing life support.
Citizen, you're not supposed
to (indistinct) the data corps.
(grunts) God!
Keep going.
(tense music)
What's going on?
What is it?
(screen whooshing) (tense music)
It's here.
(footsteps whooshing)
(lights clacking) (low-frequency rumbling)
(energy wailing)
(footsteps clomping) (ominous music)
(laser tweets and whooshes)
ARIA, can you get us emergency power?

(computer bleeps) (slider whooshes)
(machine whooshes)
(computer bleeps)
(computer chirping)
(frequency whistles)
(ominous music)
(footsteps clomping)
Just in case.
Look, we got to get to the main reactor.
If we can reboot it, we
can probably get the
Citizen, your hand.
Listen, the Data Core.
Our research, can you save it?
Yes, if I were fully
operational, I could, but...
(creature rumbles)
(eerie music)
Run!
ARIA, tell me what's happening.
Something's here, I'm picking up
six distinct organic signatures.
- Organ?
- They breach sectors two,
five, and eight, they're headed our way.
(lights surging)
(creature rumbles) (lights surging)
ARIA, this is it.
We have to make contact.
Come! (Tense music)
This is an aggressive infiltration.
My directive just gets you
to the emergency transport card.
We don't know that they're hostile.
Citizen, my directive. I won't reach you.
(fireball blasts)
(both plunging) (menacing music)
[Ava] Warning. Power systems fail.
Warning. Power systems
fail. (High-pitched tweet)
Energy 18 backup system. (Energy humming)
(Gordon grunts)
ARIA ARIA
That was a terrarium citizen.
Life system's compromised.
Damn it.
Ah, they're going to be on top of us
before we can get to the escape pod.
- Do you have door control?
- Yes.
All right, route them
through supply holding.
Let's slow them down.
(ominous whooshing) (feet stomping)
(creature roars)
Done. They're entering supply holding.
Hold the oxygen tanks.
That will compromise our structural
Do it!
(menacing music)
(wind whooshing)
- Did it work?
- I...
I don't know.
My Cloud link is offline, I can't access
the escape pod or the dump portal.
ARIA, ARIA, look at me.
It's going to be all right.
Come on. (Footsteps clomping)
(tense music)
We're almost there. (Footsteps clomping)
(tense music)

You were never meant to discover us.
Your kind is not prepared.
(Gordon groans) (low-frequency rumbling)
The Dynacorn.
Take. Just take it.
(creature growling)
The machine must not be allowed to beat.
(Gordon grunts)
Ow. (Panting)
Let me go. (Panting)

Okay.
(ship rumbles)
(gentle music)
(steel clanking)
(gentle music)
(computer chirping)
All right. We're going to make it.
We're almost to the jump portal.
- Citizen.
- All right.
Just hold on, ARIA.
Citizen, I can feel them
rebooting my Cloud link.
They're dragging me.
They're coming for you.
- Well, let them come.
- I can stop them.
- No, no, no, ARIA.
Just don't, all right.
Just whatever you think
of doing, just don't do it.
- Citizen.
- No, God-damn-it, ARIA,
- I'm not letting you go.
- Gordon.
(eerie music)
(static crackling)
Please.
(gentle music)
Please.
(gentle music)
You have to let go.
(gentle music)
(both embracing and smooching)

[ARIA] Gordon.
Can you hear me? (Wind whistling)
(static crackles) (ominous music)
Einstein taught the
world that time is relative.
An animal does not perceive time.
They live, they survive, they die.
(creature panting) (cutlery clacking)
A human sees it coming.
That's what Einstein meant.
The individual frame of
reference of human consciousness.
(pensive music)
But what about the machine?
Does a machine perceive time?
Can a machine live, love, survive?
Or does it simply exist?
(pensive music)
It scares me the most.
The machine does not die.
All it has is memory.
Memories it cannot feel anything about
that can be erased, repurposed.
I don't know what that
means for the future.
All I know is I can't keep doing this.
The power hours are getting to me,
and I'm sick of eating
this oil and green shit.
I really just don't know.
I brought you some coffee.
I thought you could use it.
Dr. James Olson,
signing off, 16:05, yeah.
I don't even know anymore. (Tablet clicks)
(cutlery clacking)
(James slurps and coughs)
I think we're going to
have to teach you how
to make a proper coffee one day.
When we have the time, James.
What's this?
(object clattering)
Where'd you find this?
I haven't seen one for years.
I found it in one of the lockers.
It looks like it's the last one.
Aeryn, did you go through
dead people's things?
(snack crunching)
Normally, I don't condone
stealing from the dead.
But this...
It's totally worth it. (Snack crunching)
Mm.
(feet thumps)
- Thank you.
- Oh.
(snack crunching)
You smell nice.
Mm, I finally showered.
(scoffs) About time.
(ventilation hums)
(paper rustling)
This looks cool.
Vaconoseal. Vicaso.
Hey. (Speaks in foreign language)
What?
(Aeryn speaks in foreign language)
Sorry, I didn't catch that.
I speak over 45 languages
required for this mission.
What about coffee?
Coffee, no.
Coffee, yes. (Object clattering)
(ominous music)
(radio crackling)
We are receiving a message.
What?
The airways have been selling for years.
Come on, Aeryn, put it on.
(radio crackling)
[Announcer] This is an
automated emergency broadcast
from the Helios Dawn orbital platform.
At 08:35, the Dawn detected a series
(static crackles)
Damn it, another one.
[Announcer] Expect severe
communications disruptions.
Can you turn that shit off?
[Announcer] Black house
for any remaining inhabitants
across the search.
Should we be worried?
Nah, we're safe down here.
Once in a while they like to
put some scare in us, bastards.
(ominous music)
You know they ran from this planet
rather than try to save it.
Well, look on the bright side.
At least you don't have to breathe
that disgusting recycled air up there.
(scoffs) At this rate,
we're probably the only
garden left on Earth.
I hope not.
They used to be hundreds.
What do you think happened to them?
(cards clacking)
Again?
(scoffs) One of these days I'll win.
Maybe one of these days, I'll let you.
(ominous music)
Do you think you can get
the lights instead of gloating?
(footsteps clomping)
(keys jingle) (kiss smacking)
Do you want the chart cycle this time?
I do not require physical
activity to stimulate.
Yeah, any excuse, right?
(Ava scoffs)
(door clicking) (footsteps clomping)
Ava, play music.
(footsteps clomping) (lively music)
I'm on the wrong side
of a sun burnt skyline
Where the night meets the day
I never settle, I've
been moving too fast
But I kinda like it that way
And then you leave me
on my own now, honey
Why'd you have to run so far?
It's good to say I've
found my own way back
To where you are
It's all right if you
say it's all wrong
I know I'm asking a lot
I know the road is so long
Just take your time
'Cause I'm standing here strong
I'm gonna give you my loving
If it's my loving you want
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Just take your time, babe
Just take your time now
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(liquid sprits)
(spinner humming) (computer bleeps)
I think we finally solved the problem
with the basis power outs.
(object clattering)
James, get over here.
(footsteps clomping)
We still need to test it properly.
All right. You ready?
(object clattering) (spinner humming)
(suspense music)
Fuck, yeah.
Where have you learned that?
From you, of course. (Laughs)
It's all right if you
say it's all wrong
I know I'm asking a lot
I know the road is so long.
Just take your time.
[Voice Over] Charging cycle complete.
All systems operational.
If it's my loving you want, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Just take your time, babe
Just take your time now
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What's on your mind
Hair like the ocean, hot like fire
Clean on the wind,
may it take you higher
Don't you leave me on my own now, honey
Why'd you have to run so far
It's good to say I've
found my own way back
To where you are, oh
Where you are, where
you are, where you are
It's all right if you
say it's all wrong
I know I'm asking a lot
I know the road is so long
Just take your time
'Cause I'm standing here strong
I'm gonna give you my loving
If it's my loving you want, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(liquid pouring)
(tap clattering)
(pan clacks)
(pan clacking)
Your favourite? (Pan scuffing)
As usual.
Soil and fucking green.
You know me so well.
How's the garden doing today?
(pan clacking)
The power coupling from
bracks three and four has failed.
Repair's underway, but the
garden will last much longer
if they keep burning out.
(pan clacking)
Thanks, Aeryn.
Anything I don't know?
I think I may have made a miscalculation.
(cutlery clacking)
PH buffers.
Don't worry about it.
That's not the point.
I forgot.
That's impossible unless I've...
(cutlery clacking)
Unless what. (Tense music)
Shit. No.
It's again, Aeryn, Aeryn?
Aeryn, Aeryn, come back to me.
Aeryn, Aeryn, Aeryn.
(Aeryn tweets) (ominous music)
What are you up to, James?
You just...
Just glad you're here.
What were you saying?
(ominous music)
It's just a garden, um.
The PHY have been a bit off recently,
so I explained the low yields,
but nothing I can handle.
(pan clacking)
Uh-huh. (Pan clacking)
It's been great. (Sighs) (pan scuffing)
(ventilation hums)
Thanks, Aeryn.
Let me get some rest. Yeah.
(chair creaks and scratches)
(ventilation hums)
(suspense music)
(door swooshing) (air hissing)
Ava, are you reading me?
[Ava] How can I be of assistance?
(bag clattering) (tablet clacking)
(bed bangs and squeaks)
(James deeply exhales)
(tablet clicking)
Three times...
Three fucking times this week.
Aeryn's memory cord is becoming unstable.
(screen crackles) (eerie music)
I need to do something.
I don't know what,
but I can't keep removing her memory files.
No, I doubt this right here. (Indistinct)

What? How?
Why is the code missing?
[Ava] Storage capacity at 6%.
Functions that can be completed
by humanoid counterpart have been erased
to maintain optimal performance.

What the fuck you mean denied?
I'm the lead scientist.
I'm the only scientist left.
[Ava] Primary directives in jeopardy.
Lab unit 24 must be reset.
James, please.
Ava, override Command Alpha 19. (Screams)

- How are things?
- Good, I'm all packed.
I'm ready to get off this rock.
How about you?
Good. A bit cramped.
Looking forward to stretching my legs.
Hey, don't worry.
The Trichoro makes
Sailus look like a palace.
Sailus is half the
size of my lab on Earth.
Trichoro is, mm, about
the size of the broom closet.
Well, yeah, at least you got the views.
Makes it worth the leg cramp.
(ventilation hums)
Yeah. It is something else.
Really look forward to seeing you again.
I bet you wish you could(alarm buzzing)

Shit, Hestia?
Are we still on course?
[Hestia] We are 132 degrees off course.
(eerie music)
We are drifting into space.

Hestia, how much oxygen do I have left?
[Hestia] You have 19 minutes remaining.

Mark knows that something happened.
I'll send help.

Please respond. (Static crackles)
How much time do I have?
[Hestia] You have seven

This is the Trichoro
calling for urgent assistance.
Please, help me.

The Trichoro is damaged.
We're off course.
I've got seven minutes

Do you rebate?
Mark, Mark!
Hestia, reconnect me!
[Hestia] Communication has been lost.
No. (Panting) (computer bleeps)

- Hello?
- Corally, it's Mom.
[Corally] Mommy.
Hello, sweetheart.
Are you okay?
[Corally] Yeah. I just got in my pyjamas.
(panting) That's good. (Chuckles)
That's good. (Chuckles)
(static crackles) (gentle music)
Before you go to bed,
could you do me a favour?
[Corally] What?
Can you go in the back garden?
- Why?
- (Chuckles) Just for me.
[Corally] Okay, I'll put on my shoes.
(gentle music)
Hestia, connect the headset.

[Hestia] Connection established.
(static crackles)
[Corally] I'm outside, Mommy.
Will you tell me what you can see?
[Corally] Well, the grass is
wet because it rained today.
(birds chirping) (gentle music)
Oh, and I can hear the birds singing.
(birds chirping)
I can smell the smoke
from grandpa's bonfire.
(fire crackling)
Oh, the sky's orange.
The sun's setting.
(gentle music)
I can see.
(birds chirping)
It's beautiful.
[Corally] No, you can't, you're in space.
(birds chirping)
I can, really good at describing.
(birds chirping) (gentle music)
[Corally] Oh, I can see a star.
(birds chirping) (fire crackling)
[Julia] You might be looking right at me.
[Corally] Grandpa
showed me how to find Mars
with his telescope last night.
(birds chirping) (gentle music)
Yeah? Tell you what.
When I land on Mars, I'll find a telescope
and look for us.
See if I can spot you.
(birds chirping)
[Corally] That's easy to find.
It's a third further from the sun.
You just count.
But me and Grandpa are too
small to see you from space.
(chuckles) You're right.
[Hestia] You have two minutes remaining.

Hestia, can I see her?

Mommy?
Corally. (Chuckles)

What's wrong, Mommy, why are you sad?
No, nothing is wrong.
Nothing's wrong. I'm totally fine.
It's just...
I have to go now. I'm sorry.
Why?
[Julia] I'm about to land on Mars.
I'm glad I got to speak to you, though.
(fire crackling) (gentle music)
When are you coming back?
Soon. I promise.
(birds chirping) (fire crackling)
I miss you, Mommy.
Miss you, too, sweetheart.
Say hello to grandpa for me.
I love you.
I love you, Corally.

[computer: Hologram deactivates]
We need to go silent.
Who am I?
You're JohnCockroach.
We were attacked by an enemy probe.
It stuck itself onto you, messed you up.
Can you plug in?
I'm not wired.
Everybody's wired.
No, that's bullshit. This is a sim, right?
Medic!
Stop! Who the hell are you?
Mo, your copilot. No way I'd
take a co-pilot that wasn't wired.
You took me cause I'm good at what I do.
Shut up and listen to me!
The invasion was a disaster. Alice
has new weapons, they hacked us.
Not this ship. We've had
this argument 12 times already.
Why hack the ships when
you can hack the pilots?
Understand?
These probes invaded our ships,
hacked our pilots, all over the fleet.
We lost.
I'm all natural.
Don't ask why, it's a
long story, but it saved us.
What probe?
[metal clunk]
[ominous music]
It got in through the service airlock.
[warmer music]
I tried to fix you.
But you passed out.
Do you remember... anything?
My father.
[soothing music]
A long time ago.
We were outside&somewhere.
It's not real.
[birds chirping]
It's a memory implant, to control you.
[eerie music]
It's my dad.
I remember him.
You were raised by your aunt.
You don't have a father.
It's some kind of shared memory.
To make you part of a hive mind.
I need a visual.

We're here, don't shoot.
[Radio] Cockroach! John,
we were about to end you.
Are you&Javy?
[computer: Hologram activates]
[Radio] Yeah, it's me.
Listen, John. The whole
fleet was attacked by some kind of probe.
[Radio] It reprograms
us, makes us alien drones.
It attacks our
cybernetics. [Radio] No,
it's biological. Our
cybernetics filter it out.
[Radio] Did you get the update from Fleet?
No.

you, to us, the whole Fleet.
It's a lie.

You know what to do. Be strong.
You've broken free

[ARIA] Citizen.

Citizen. (Gordon gasps)
(birds chirping)
How are you?
It's morning, Citizen.
(birds chirping)
Ah.
Morning.
(birds chirping)
(screen whooshing)
There's no such thing.
Studies indicate that the replication
of Earth's sun cycle is beneficial
to a human being's sense
of contentment, Citizen.
I had hoped the water would be calming.
(ventilation hums)
Still won't call me Gordon.
It's not in my
programming to call citizens
anything but citizen, Citizen.
Isn't it against your programming
to enter personal quarters uninvited?
Am I uninvited?
(ventilation hums)
No.
Why did you come?
Your vitals were erratic,
and I felt authorised to attend.
Did you come to check my vitals?
Yes.
(ventilation hums)
(machine hums) (heart beats)
How's my pulse?
It's healthy.

No, no, no, no, not my neuro, like.
Okay, fine.
(pensive music)
(static crackles)
Ugh.
(gentle music)
Oof. (Sighs)
What's my prognosis?
- You need a workout.
- Why?
Your morning training was scheduled
to begin 11 minutes ago.
Oh.
Uh, can you do me a favour?
Run another diagnostic check in the beyond.
Yes, Citizen.
And put on a shirt already.
(door swooshing) (air hissing)
Probe attempt 148.
Final attempt by the
citizen before his departure.
Data on the unknown space phenomenon
colloquially referred to
as the beyond remains virtually unchanged.
Each probe continues
to fail in transmitting
any usable information.
The beyond is still observed
as an impenetrable dark band
of something.

We've...

The citizen has ruled out black holes
and the phenomenon is too
dense to be dark matter or energy.

Come with me.
We can take the transport together.
I can't, Citizen.
Protocol dictates I
remain with the outpost.
I'm the property of the
Interstellar Citizens Commission.
ARIA, if you stay here,
they're going to decommission you.
You know that. (Low-frequency rumbling)

You've come so far.
You... (computer bleeps)

I can't let that happen.

Citizen, we're receiving transmission.
Yes, we, yes, we are

Citizen, the probe
signal is steady. (Laughs)
Keep it steady, come on, come on.

It worked.
Woo.

- We're losing a signal.
Well, boost Sat Three, now!

Satellite three has stopped.
What do you mean it's stopped?
- The data is being corrupted.
- Corrupted, no, no, no.
It's being erased, I don't even know how.
Communications are down.
The power's failing life support.
Citizen, you're not supposed
to (indistinct) the data corps.

Yes, if I were fully
operational, I could, but...

Let's slow them down.

Einstein taught the
world that time is relative.
An animal does not perceive time.
They live, they survive, they die.
(creature panting) (cutlery clacking)
A human sees it coming.
That's what Einstein meant.
The individual frame of
reference of human consciousness.
(pensive music)
But what about the machine?
Does a machine perceive time?
Can a machine live, love, survive?
Or does it simply exist?
(pensive music)
It scares me the most.
The machine does not die.
All it has is memory.
Memories it cannot feel anything about
that can be erased, repurposed.
I don't know what that
means for the future.
All I know is I can't keep doing this.
The power hours are getting to me,
and I'm sick of eating
this oil and green shit.
I really just don't know.
I brought you some coffee.
I thought you could use it.
Dr. James Olson,
signing off, 16:05, yeah.
I don't even know anymore. (Tablet clicks)
(cutlery clacking)
(James slurps and coughs)
I think we're going to
have to teach you how
to make a proper coffee one day.
When we have the time, James.
What's this?
(object clattering)
Where'd you find this?
I haven't seen one for years.
I found it in one of the lockers.
It looks like it's the last one.
Aeryn, did you go through
dead people's things?
(snack crunching)
Normally, I don't condone
stealing from the dead.
But this...
It's totally worth it. (Snack crunching)
Mm.
(feet thumps)
- Thank you.
- Oh.

You smell nice.
Mm, I finally showered.

Vaconoseal. Vicaso.
Hey. (Speaks in foreign language)
What?

Sorry, I didn't catch that.

What about coffee?
Coffee, no.
Coffee, yes. (Object clattering)

Should we be worried?
Nah, we're safe down here.
Once in a while they like to
put some scare in us, bastards.

You know they ran from this planet
rather than try to save it.
Well, look on the bright side.
At least you don't have to breathe
that disgusting recycled air up there.

we're probably the only

I hope not.

What do you think happened to them?

Maybe one of these days, I'll let you.

Yeah, any excuse, right?

Where the night meets the day

Why'd you have to run so far?
It's good to say I've
found my own way back

Just take your time
'Cause I'm standing here strong
I'm gonna give you my loving
If it's my loving you want, oh

Your favourite? (Pan scuffing)
As usual.
Soil and fucking green.
You know me so well.
How's the garden doing today?
(pan clacking)
The power coupling from
bracks three and four has failed.
Repair's underway, but the
garden will last much longer
if they keep burning out.
(pan clacking)
Thanks, Aeryn.
Anything I don't know?
I think I may have made a miscalculation.
(cutlery clacking)
PH buffers.
Don't worry about it.
That's not the point.
I forgot.
That's impossible unless I've...
(cutlery clacking)
Unless what. (Tense music)
Shit. No.
It's again, Aeryn, Aeryn?
Aeryn, Aeryn, come back to me.
Aeryn, Aeryn, Aeryn.
(Aeryn tweets) (ominous music)
What are you up to, James?
You just...
Just glad you're here.
What were you saying?
(ominous music)
It's just a garden, um.
The PHY have been a bit off recently,
so I explained the low yields,
but nothing I can handle.
(pan clacking)
Uh-huh. (Pan clacking)
It's been great. (Sighs) (pan scuffing)

Three times...
Three fucking times this week.
Aeryn's memory cord is becoming unstable.

I need to do something.
I don't know what,
but I can't keep removing her memory files.
No, I doubt this right here. (Indistinct)

[Ava] I wouldn't recommend
that course of action, Dr. Alston.
Ava, God-damn it, open the door.
You're going to kill her. (Alarm buzzing)
I can get her operation life going up.
[Ava] Reset protocols initiated.

- How are things?
- Good, I'm all packed.
I'm ready to get off this rock.
How about you?
Good. A bit cramped.
Looking forward to stretching my legs.
Hey, don't worry.
The Trichoro makes
Sailus look like a palace.
Sailus is half the
size of my lab on Earth.
Trichoro is, mm, about
the size of the broom closet.
Well, yeah, at least you got the views.
Makes it worth the leg cramp.
(ventilation hums)
Yeah. It is something else.
Really look forward to seeing you again.
I bet you wish you could(alarm buzzing)

Hello, sweetheart.
Are you okay?
[Corally] Yeah. I just got in my pyjamas.
(panting) That's good. (Chuckles)
That's good. (Chuckles)
(static crackles) (gentle music)
Before you go to bed,
could you do me a favour?
[Corally] What?
Can you go in the back garden?
- Why?
- (Chuckles) Just for me.

Will you tell me what you can see?

wet because it rained today.
(birds chirping) (gentle music)
Oh, and I can hear the birds singing.
(birds chirping)
I can smell the smoke
from grandpa's bonfire.
(fire crackling)
Oh, the sky's orange.
The sun's setting.
(gentle music)
I can see.
(birds chirping)
It's beautiful.
[Corally] No, you can't, you're in space.
(birds chirping)
I can, really good at describing.
(birds chirping) (gentle music)
[Corally] Oh, I can see a star.
(birds chirping) (fire crackling)
[Julia] You might be looking right at me.
[Corally] Grandpa
showed me how to find Mars
with his telescope last night.
(birds chirping) (gentle music)
Yeah? Tell you what.
When I land on Mars, I'll find a telescope
and look for us.
See if I can spot you.
(birds chirping)
[Corally] That's easy to find.
It's a third further from the sun.
You just count.
But me and Grandpa are too
small to see you from space.
(chuckles) You're right.

Mommy?
Corally. (Chuckles)

What's wrong, Mommy, why are you sad?
No, nothing is wrong.
Nothing's wrong. I'm totally fine.
It's just...
I have to go now. I'm sorry.
Why?
[Julia] I'm about to land on Mars.
I'm glad I got to speak to you, though.
(fire crackling) (gentle music)
When are you coming back?
Soon. I promise.
(birds chirping) (fire crackling)
I miss you, Mommy.
Miss you, too, sweetheart.
Say hello to grandpa for me.
I love you.
I love you, Corally.
