Male 1:
This place is a real

shithole, you know that?

Male 1:
Seriously, what

do you even do in here?

Male 2:

Handyman:
I fix

things.

Male 1:
Shut up, right there.

What is that stuff, huh?

Handyman:
Waste. It's waste.

Male 2:
Whose waste?

Is that your waste?

Is that miss kitty's waste?

Handyman:
No.

Male 1:
Eat it.

Handyman:
What? No.

Male 1:
Eat it!

Come on.

You heard the man.

Why don't you just

eat miss kitty's waste?

Why are you doing this?

Eat it.

Ow!

I said eat it!

Male 2:
Hey dude, check it out.

Handyman:
No. Wait.

Male 1:
Hold it.

Handyman:
No, no!

Oh, look at this.

Handyman:
Don't worry.

Male 2:
What the hell is this?

Oh, man. Jackpot.

Male 1:
Are you serious?

Hell yeah, I'm serious.

This is awesome.

Male 1:
You're crazy man.

Male 2:
Can't say no, can it?

Okay, man, but you first.

Suit yourself.

You can have my sloppy seconds.

Male 1:
Oh, that's gross.

Ooh. Got a little fight in it.

I don't think it likes

this very much.

Come on girl. Open up.

Male 2:
Hey! Hey man.

Wait, wait, let me

explain. Wait. No.

Voiceover:
We need a couple

of really big breakthroughs

to get to our

theory of consciousness.

We might be right now

where the ancient greeks were

in the study of matter

or where descartes was

in thinking about biology.

We hadn't had, Newton

hadn't come along yet,

or Darwin hadn't come along yet.

As computers become

more intelligent than us

they'll be processing

information in more integrated,

more creative ways.

It's even possible

they'll move to degrees

or levels of consciousness

that we can't even conceive of.

I don't see why there

shouldn't be this kind of

brain computer interface

that may well have

the effect of

extending ourselves.

There's nothing

magic about the skull

as the boundary of the person.

That's not where the mind stops

and the rest of

the world begins.

Maybe from a god's

eye point of view,

space, time and consciousness

are all bound up

at a more fundamental level,

but for now nobody

knows the answer

to that question.

There has been another

attempt by terrorist group

"enercell" to try to break in

and infiltrate chromo corps

these senseless acts

of violence that this faction,

enercell, against chromo corp

is against all of us as well.

Destroy our founding

fathers have built for us

is not only a slap it the face,

but can by no means

go unpunished

and to those silly little boys

who have unsuccessfully

tried to attack our planet's

main hub on sector 1,

and to the one's who

will undoubtedly try

after I will tell you

this:
You will die -

how are you feeling?

Good. You know, considering.

Sounds good in there.

Exciting.

Well, all signs are

looking normal, great really.

Great. So is it time?

Yeah. Yeah.

This will relax you,

but you will feel everything.

The fetus, hopefully,

will feel nothing.

shade so stay inside if can.

There is a scheduled

break from the heat,

at least in sectors 1-3, but -

a boy. It's a boy.

-What? -It's a boy.

Coming up

next week we will be

celebrating the

100th anniversary,

of the day chromo corp

constructed the first

genetically modified

humanoid specimen

using mostly inorganic particles

and 100% manmade DNA

we are truly miracles:

Walking accomplishments

of what we can create

with love, science

and determination.

They're real.

They existed. I know it.

Again.

There's no way-

let's try again.

Hello Alexander, my name's Dan.

Where am I?

You are on board the tantalus.

How are you feeling?

I'm starving...

Why did you wake me?

We haven't reached

delmak yet, have we?

We've drawn you from cryo

because we need your help...

My help?

-Why? What happened?

-It's alright Alex.

Please.

I'll answer all your questions.

Four months after our departure,

an asteroid shower nearly

destroyed the ship.

Our communications system

was rendered useless.

We lost the main engine

and many of our

secondary functions

were left inoperative.

We've been adrift six months,

trying to fix the tantalus,

but we don't know how.

We've lost hope of

a rescue mission.

It's impossible for them

to know where we are.

If we carry on like this,

we won't last much longer.

Our only hope is if a subspace

communications technician

can repair the system and we can

transmit a signal

with our location.

My wife!

She's a delta-class technician,

-we have to wake her!

-Alex, wait.

Waking you up was an

extremely difficult decision...

If we don't fix the ship,

we are doomed to

drift through space

until we run out of supplies.

She's your wife...

Let's make an attempt to

send out a distress signal

and we can reanimate her

if that's what you want.

Tell me something Dan,

how many times

have you tried to

repair this panel?

It's full of splices:

This is the fourth board

I've fixed that will overload.

I've just followed the

instructions in the manual.

You did a c-80 profile

on your own by just

following the instructions

in the manual?

How did you manage

to override the

safety protocols of

the brill circuit?

Well, you know,

trial and error.

I guess I was lucky...

Lucky?

Sh*t, Dan, that's not luck!

Even I have problems

understanding this setup!

Dan, can I see you in

the cargo bay right away?

I'm coming.

See you later.

Ok, it's working.

I'll adjust the transmitter

antenna after

I get some rest and

see if we get anything.

Why wait?

Well, I've been working

for several shifts.

I need to regain my strength.

Before heading outside the ship

I think it would be better

if you did it right now.

I didn't know you

were my boss, Phil.

I'll see you later.

...putting ourselves at risk

again for nothing.

We've been over this a

thousand times, Dan.

I'm open to suggestions if you

can think of something better.

Do you think that anyone will

ever fix this f***ing ship?

I thought you agreed we had

nothing to lose by trying.

Anyway, it will all be
