[heavy breathing]
- Okay, pops,
it's time for happy hour.
- Yeah, I'm only half full here.
- First round's on
you, then, old man.
- Old man?
[laughs]
Yeah, this old man's got five
more combat tours than you do.
- An excuse?
- No, it means I got two
steel replacement knees
better to kick your ass with.
[laughs]
Don't you mess with me, Eva.
- Uh-huh.
- Hey,
smart ass.
You gonna help me up or what?
- Fine.
Just don't shit on me.
- Ha!
No promises.
[grunts]
All right.
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
[thunder rumbles]
[groaning]
- Second round's on you, kid.
- I can't remember.
- Ah, hell.
Surprised we can breathe at all.
You know, they just started
terraforming this shithole.
- Ain't too bad, actually.
Good flavour.
- Heh.
[gunshot]
- Dad!
[tense music]
[Eva panting]
Fuck!
[heavy breathing]
- Come, brother.
Altridus discovered
a stranded vessel.
and the spoils are bountiful.
[thunder rumbles]
Praise be.
[tense music]
[gentle music]
[sighs]
- I am sorry for your loss, Eva.
[clears throat]
Just know that
you are not alone.
- I've been alone
most of my life.
Orphan
grew up on the streets.
- He was your foster father?
- Broke into his place once.
I was hungry.
He never let me go.
Now he's gone.
And it's my fault.
- Nonsense.
You know you have
no control over...
Excuse me.
- Fucking sick and tired
of not having control.
- Yes,
well,
these things are never easy.
We all want control.
If only I had control,
things would be different.
But they're not.
Things aren't different.
Things are what they are.
And today you decide if
you want to change them.
It takes
a special person.
- I'm not special.
- To be able...
- I'm fucking angry.
[beeping]
- I'm afraid that's the end
of our complimentary session.
- Seriously?
- You can sign up for
our monthly program
and don't forget the deposit.
- We were just getting started.
Come on, doc.
- No money, no healing, honey.
- Here's your deposit.
[sighs]
[suspenseful music]
[bike engine roars]
[electronic dance music]
- Bye.
[traffic rumbling]
[Eva retching]
[siren wailing]
- I've been sitting here
for three fucking hours.
How long does it take
to load a few crates?
- It takes as long as it takes.
Listen, the unions
are on strike...
- Fucking ridiculous.
I'm just going to
load them myself then.
- What's ridiculous is
that eye make-up, honey.
What'd you do?
Sneeze when you put it on?
Take a hike, lady.
- I'm gonna get you fired.
- Ooh, good, I can eat my lunch.
- Yeah, go eat a dick.
- Now we're talking, yeah!
What?
- Sorry, but I think there's
a mistake on my manifest.
[yawns]
Scraps, that'll barely
cover fuel costs.
- You want it or you
don't want it, kid?
- You couldn't fill
it up at least?
[laughs]
- I ain't filling anything up.
The unions are on strike.
All right?
Okay. Hello?
- I have a fuel request in?
- My fuel, what do you mean?
- You know,
you know what I mean.
[laughs]
[sighs]
- I'm never gonna pay
off this fucking ship.
[indistinct background chatter]
- Rosser says you're
headed to Mortos.
- I guess.
- Name's Eva.
Got any room?
- Oh, I'm a cargo haulier.
I don't take people.
- 5000 enough?
That's about three times
what you'll make otherwise.
No offence.
- What exactly are you asking?
- There's a claim I
want to scope out.
I'm a freelance miner.
- You don't look like a miner.
- My ride's in the shop.
Otherwise, I do it myself.
Won't take long.
- You can pay me up front?
- What's your name?
- Jade. Star runner.
[beeping]
- Got a turret gunner?
Gonna need one.
Especially out there.
- I usually can't afford them.
- Count me in.
[gentle music]
How long have you been
running ash and trash?
[Jade] A few weeks.
What about you?
[Eva] Helped my old man
start a mining business.
It really rocks.
[Jade laughs]
[sombre music]
- Sorry, but it's getting late.
I should get this
scrap delivered.
- Go ahead.
- I'm sorry?
- I appreciate your help, Jade.
- I can't just leave you here.
- It's not safe.
You should go.
- You can't stay out here alone.
[sombre music continues]
Are you fucking crazy?
You don't even
have a respirator.
- Don't need it.
[Jade splutters]
I'll give you another five
to come back in three days.
- No way.
- 10,000.
- Stop this!
- 15,000, final offer.
- Eva, what are you doing?
- Finishing what they started.
- What are you talking about?
- Will be the easiest 15,000
creds you'll ever make.
- I'm not that desperate.
Eva, you're scaring me.
[thunder rumbling]
- Don't worry about me.
- Eva!
Eva!

[console beeping]
Shit, shit!
[engine roaring]
[console beeping]
- Fuck!
[explosion booms]
[Jade gasping]
[Jade groaning]
- What happened?
- You got rail gunned.
What changed your mind?
- I don't know.
- Revenge is a
dangerous business.
- Better than trading.
At least for now.
[Jade gasping]
[sinister laughter]
[tense music]
- You gonna shoot?
[indistinct radio chatter]
- Only if I have to.
You're gonna listen?
[blade swishes]
[indistinct radio chatter]
- Only if have to.
[music intensifies]
- James.
Did you intend to end your life?
- I needed to see.

Daddy.
[coughing]
I want to go outside.
- It's okay, it's okay.
- I want to go outside.
- I know, I know.
Let's sing a song, okay?
Tell me why
The stars do shine
I know, baby.
Tell me why
- I want to go outside.
- I want to go outside.
- I know.
Tell me why
- I want to go outside.
The skies so blue
And I will tell you
Just why I love you
- Machine.
[coughing]
Keep him safe.
[Machine] I have heard your
order and will comply.
- I want to go outside.
- I want to go outside.
[bird squawking]
[gentle music]
Day 36 report.
Father, James continues
to grow and remains safe.
[child chatting indistinctly]
[gentle music continues]
[food splats]
[Machine] In the beginning
there was the creator.
He spun his finger and
the earth was formed.
With a thought, the plants and
animals dotted the landscape.
From him flowed man,
and from him all knowledge.
Man was gifted with
intelligence above all others.
With it, man made
machine in his own image.
Just as the creator
had made man in his.
Tell me why
The ivy twines
Tell me why
[sticks clacking]
[dramatic music]
[dramatic music continues]
The manual version 6.0.13.
Reality perception.
Reality is a trickster.
Blue is only blue when
all agree that it is blue.
It is the nature of
sentience to question.
This text was born
from such questions
and lifts the burden from
man and machine alike.
We are now free
to live in comfort
with the knowledge that
our philosophy is sound.
Tell me why
The stars do shine
Tell me why
The ivy twines
Tell me why
The sky is so blue.
And I will tell you
Just why I love you
[fire cracking]
[sighs]
Because the creator
Made the stars shine
Because the creator
Made ivy twine
Because the creator
Made the sky blue
Creator made you
That's why I love you
[sobbing]
[suspenseful music]
[dramatic music]
- Did you intend
to end your life?
- I needed to see.
- You know, it is
forbidden by the manual.
If you had succeeded,
you would never see
your parents again.
- There was just darkness.
An absence of time.
I died.
And the next second,
here we are.
- Do not let this
bother you, James.
When our experiences
contradict the teachings,
we must re-examine
our experiences
and find the errors
in observation.
Our perceptions can deceive us.
The manual is our
only certainty.
Now, would you like to
hear your horoscope?
It is an exceptional one.
[rain pattering]
Day 13,527 report.
Father, James severed his ulnar
artery along his left wrist.
I found him with sufficient
time to perform my duty.
- Why did you report that?
- Your father instructed
me to keep you safe.
And he sees your pain
clearly from the next world.
You know what the manual states.
- I don't know what
the manual states.
[rain pattering]
I need something else.
I need to find something.
- We can resume our
search for people
if that is what will
give you solace.
Would you like to hear
your horoscope now?
[tense music]
Man, machine and animal.
There is no room in the city
of the creator for animals.
The base instincts, with no
intelligent mind to guide them,
have no place in his city
where suffering is unknown.
When man and machine
pass through the gates,
ills and malfunctions
are left behind.
The flesh does not rot.
The metal does not rust.
[objects clattering]
I have located the map.
[footsteps tapping]
As you are aware, we have
cleared a radius of 200 miles.
So I propose we
start at zero degrees
and work our way clockwise
beyond the searched area.
It is a six-day walk
to the unexplored,
so we will need
provisions for it.
- Are you aware that
I am composed of meat,
blood, bone and meat?
I saw it in my arm.
- Yes, James.
You were not aware of this?
- I'm an animal.
A big version of a rabbit.
Or a little version
of a buffalo.
My body is going to turn
like their meat turns.
I'm going to putrefy.
And that is why
you will bury me.
You will put me in the ground
so you won't have
to deal with it.
- We bury the dead so
they can make the journey
to the next life.
- How do you know that?
How do you really know that?
- They are resurrected and
live in the city of the creator
where everything
is new and perfect.
There is no night or day,
no sun or moon.
His presence is the light.
A river flows through the city,
and on either side a tree
grows the food or drink
his people require.
There is no sadness,
no sickness, and no despair.
We could...
We could check on my parents.
We gain objective insights
into transcendence.
- And our search?
I thought you needed
to find something.
[suspenseful music]
You must confess your misdeeds.
Ill actions.
Ill thoughts,
rebellions and doubts.
A heavy heart cannot pass
through the creator's gate.
Do not hold tightly
to your sins.
They do you no service in
the city of the creator.
- Man and machine look upon
each other as equals.
Servants and masters
are indistinguishable
in his presence.
All beings are in isness,
a point of view from which
the surroundings are observed,
regardless of
their earthly form.
We are an impulse to power.
For where there is life,
there is the impulse to power.
[water lapping]
[shovel banging]
[tense music]
[James grunting]
[James grunting]
- It is late, James.
Please let me complete this
task so that you can sleep.
[rain pattering]
- Machine.
I order you to leave them be.
Once excavated,
do not disturb my parents.
- I have heard your
order and will comply.
The job is done.
The graves are empty.
[fast drum music]
[tense music]
[James grunting]
- No!
Ah!
No! No!
[tense music]
No!
No, no!
[shouting]
Ah!
What happened?
What did you do?
[james grunting]
- As the manual states,
as we both knew
would be the case,
they have transcended.
Would you like to hear
your horoscope now?
I think it would be
very appropriate.
- You seem upset, Machine.
- Do I?
If so, it must be a projection
of your own feelings of loss.
- Did you know them well?
Do you even mourn their deaths?
I served your parents as
my programming demands.
I loved them as my
programming demands.
- What about me?
What does your programming
tell you about me?
Are you my mother?
- Are you my mother?
- James!
- Are you her?
- I... I am your caretaker.
- Laugh, I order you to laugh.
Laugh.
[Machine laughs]
Cry machine, I order you to cry.
[Machine cries]
Ah!
[suspenseful music]
[James breathing hard]
No.
No!
[James grunts]
[James shouting]
No, no, not you!
Not you!
No, no, not you, not
you, not you, not you.
God! [sobbing]
Ah, Machine!
I don't believe it.
I don't believe any of it.
Machine!
Machine?
Anyone?
Anyone. Oh!
[James whimpering]
[rain pattering]
[gentle music]
[rain pattering]
[gentle music continues]
[Machine] James, version 6.0.13.
Your human emotional
simulation is complete.
Welcome to the real world.
[gentle music continues]
You will now hear
your horoscope.
March 21st, 2634 AS
You will be invited
into a new group.
You will lose an old friend.
The transition will be painful,
but worth it.
You will find the meaning
you have been searching for
and have everything
you have ever wanted.
Companionship.
Purpose.
Family.
Love.
Understanding.
And truth.

The manual version 6.0.13.
Reality perception.
Reality is a trickster.
Blue is only blue when
all agree that it is blue.
It is the nature of
sentience to question.
This text was born
from such questions
and lifts the burden from
man and machine alike.
We are now free
to live in comfort
with the knowledge that
our philosophy is sound.
Tell me why
The stars do shine
Tell me why
The ivy twines
Tell me why
The sky is so blue.
And I will tell you
Just why I love you
[fire cracking]
[sighs]
Because the creator
Made the stars shine
Because the creator
Made ivy twine
Because the creator
Made the sky blue
Creator made you
That's why I love you

- Did you intend
to end your life?
- I needed to see.
- You know, it is
forbidden by the manual.
If you had succeeded,
you would never see
your parents again.
- There was just darkness.
An absence of time.
I died.
And the next second,
here we are.
- Do not let this
bother you, James.
When our experiences
contradict the teachings,
we must re-examine
our experiences
and find the errors
in observation.
Our perceptions can deceive us.
The manual is our
only certainty.
Now, would you like to
hear your horoscope?
It is an exceptional one.

Day 13,527 report.
Father, James severed his ulnar
artery along his left wrist.
I found him with sufficient
time to perform my duty.
- Why did you report that?
- Your father instructed
me to keep you safe.
And he sees your pain
clearly from the next world.
You know what the manual states.
- I don't know what
the manual states.
[rain pattering]
I need something else.
I need to find something.
- We can resume our
search for people
if that is what will
give you solace.
Would you like to hear
your horoscope now?
[tense music]
Man, machine and animal.
There is no room in the city
of the creator for animals.
The base instincts, with no
intelligent mind to guide them,
have no place in his city
where suffering is unknown.
When man and machine
pass through the gates,
ills and malfunctions
are left behind.
The flesh does not rot.
The metal does not rust.
[objects clattering]
I have located the map.
[footsteps tapping]
As you are aware, we have
cleared a radius of 200 miles.
So I propose we
start at zero degrees
and work our way clockwise
beyond the searched area.
It is a six-day walk
to the unexplored,
so we will need
provisions for it.
- Are you aware that
I am composed of meat,
blood, bone and meat?
I saw it in my arm.
- Yes, James.
You were not aware of this?
- I'm an animal.
A big version of a rabbit.
Or a little version
of a buffalo.
My body is going to turn
like their meat turns.
I'm going to putrefy.
And that is why
you will bury me.
You will put me in the ground
so you won't have
to deal with it.
- We bury the dead so
they can make the journey
to the next life.
- How do you know that?
How do you really know that?
- They are resurrected and
live in the city of the creator
where everything
is new and perfect.
There is no night or day,
no sun or moon.
His presence is the light.
A river flows through the city,
and on either side a tree
grows the food or drink
his people require.
There is no sadness,
no sickness, and no despair.
We could...
We could check on my parents.
We gain objective insights
into transcendence.
- And our search?
I thought you needed
to find something.
[suspenseful music]
You must confess your misdeeds.
Ill actions.
Ill thoughts,
rebellions and doubts.
A heavy heart cannot pass
through the creator's gate.
Do not hold tightly
to your sins.
They do you no service in
the city of the creator.
- Man and machine look upon
each other as equals.
Servants and masters
are indistinguishable
in his presence.
All beings are in isness,
a point of view from which
the surroundings are observed,
regardless of
their earthly form.
We are an impulse to power.
For where there is life,
there is the impulse to power.

- It is late, James.
Please let me complete this
task so that you can sleep.
[rain pattering]
- Machine.
I order you to leave them be.
Once excavated,
do not disturb my parents.
- I have heard your
order and will comply.
The job is done.
The graves are empty.
[fast drum music]
[tense music]
[James grunting]
- No!
Ah!
No! No!
[tense music]
No!
No, no!
[shouting]
Ah!
What happened?
What did you do?
[james grunting]
- As the manual states,
as we both knew
would be the case,
they have transcended.
Would you like to hear
your horoscope now?
I think it would be
very appropriate.
- You seem upset, Machine.
- Do I?
If so, it must be a projection
of your own feelings of loss.
- Did you know them well?
Do you even mourn their deaths?
I served your parents as
my programming demands.
I loved them as my
programming demands.
- What about me?
What does your programming
tell you about me?
Are you my mother?
- Are you my mother?
- James!
- Are you her?
- I... I am your caretaker.
- Laugh, I order you to laugh.
Laugh.
[Machine laughs]
Cry machine, I order you to cry.
[Machine cries]
Ah!
[suspenseful music]
[James breathing hard]
No.
No!
[James grunts]
[James shouting]
No, no, not you!
Not you!
No, no, not you, not
you, not you, not you.
God! [sobbing]
Ah, Machine!
I don't believe it.
I don't believe any of it.
Machine!
Machine?
Anyone?
Anyone. Oh!

[Machine] James, version 6.0.13.
Your human emotional
simulation is complete.
Welcome to the real world.
[gentle music continues]
You will now hear
your horoscope.
March 21st, 2634 AS
You will be invited
into a new group.
You will lose an old friend.
The transition will be painful,
but worth it.
You will find the meaning
you have been searching for
and have everything
you have ever wanted.
Companionship.
Purpose.
Family.
Love.
Understanding.
And truth.
