[Paul] Paul Brooks

journal day 518.

It was once said

that those suffering

from the incapacity to

love are living in hell.

I often wonder if Dostoevsky

wanted to say more

because what I know

of hell isn't simply

a place where love

doesn't exist.

Nor is it a place

you go when you die.

Hell is here in this facility.

In the body and in the

mind, hell is a battle

you know you will one day lose.

It's waking up every

morning with the very

real threat that it

could be your last.

It's watching other

human beings starve.

While those with the

means ignore them.

It's placing the

hope for humanity

on artificial intelligence.

It's having a daughter you

don't recognize anymore

and who doesn't

recognize you anymore.

Hell is what the East

inflicted on us two years ago

when they pushed the

button on day zero.

And now as our food supplies

run drastically low,

our friends and

families forced into

punishment details with

substandard equipment.

Our continued attempts

to communicate

with other facilities failing.

Hell is creeping in

to the collective

conscious of those that remain.

The reason and rational

is all but depleted.

I wish I knew what

the future holds

but that would mean believing

that there is a future.

I don't know how much

longer we have left.

(dramatic music)

(heavy breathing)

[Computer] Access denied.

Access granted.

(heavy breathing)

Decontamination complete.

Airlock pressurized.

Entry secured.

[Frost] Whoa whoa whoa whoa.

Broadman are you okay?

[Broadman] McMan

got caught in the fog.

He's still out there, save him.

[Frost] It's too late

Broadman, it's too late.

Let's just get you to Medicon.

(dramatic music)

[Broadman] What will

your father make of this?

He could have saved him.

[Alexa] We don't know that.

[Broadman] Don't we?

[Computer] Good morning Eden

this is day zero minus 364.

Pollution and radiation

levels remain constant.

No other survivors

have been located.

Standby for the President's

daily announcement.

[President] While we

continue to work tirelessly

to reach other

groups of survivors

due to food shortages

every citizen

will be on three quarter

rations as of today.

Remember this is for your

own safety and well being.

I was out there

too long wasn't I?

That's for Dr. Macdonald

to assess and not me.

Broadman late back from

punishment detail doctor.

How long was he exposed?

About three minutes.

Fair amount of time then.

Do you want to get on the bed?

[Computer] Bioscan activated.

- Subject Broadman, Richard.

- How's she getting along?

You know her, never

sleeps never eats.

All she does is work

on him, our last hope.

(contemplative music)

[Computer] Mark III full

system update complete.

Endermic layer

fusion successful.

[Abel] It is complete?

All the data indicates

a successful procedure.

[Abel] Then I'm

ready for the outside?

I still have to

complete the tests.

The tests?

Surely they're a formality.

Not necessarily.

All I long for is

the world outside Eve.

Isn't that what you made me for?

Isn't that where I need to

be to fulfill my purpose?

The world outside has changed.

It now holds many unknowns.

It's all too

perhaps distressing.

Of course it does.

Distress is after all

the essence of evolution.

Which is why I hope

survival lies with you.

An objective I'm

all too aware of.

[Smith] How's the

new thermal skin Abel?

It itches, like

woolen clothes.

Sensory data banks being

put to good use I see.

It certainly

adds another layer.

Think I may know

why your old skin

failed to bind to

your exoskeleton Abel.

Organic contamination.

[Computer] Organic

matter detected.

Biovault purge activated.

Too much human DNA

in the composite.

[Computer] Biovault

purge complete.

I must say the new

compound certainly looks

more resilient and

the good news is

it'll repel

atmospheric pollution.

Practicality should always

come before vanity Dr. Smith.

Down here it should.

Now what about the

combat simulations?

Would you like to see

what I've learned today?

Now Abel I'd like you

to talk to me about these.

I must admit I'm

confused as to why

I would need such a skill set.

Both the President and

the board requested it.

But I can see that you

don't agree with them.

Hasn't the world

seen enough conflict?

But you can choose Eve.

You did not have to upload the

data if you did not want to.

Perhaps not but the

ability to handle danger

is an essential component

of being able to survive.

This is one battle

not worth fighting.

I wonder which ones are.

[Computer] Standby

for the President.

[President] Citizens of Eden

this is a general announcement.

Remember punishment details

are necessary for order.

Eden is working

for your survival.

Dad.

Dad?

Steven.

Steven?

Where's Dad?

[President] Citizens of

Eden this is the President.

We're commencing a level

four shut down test.

This is for your own

safety and well being.

Thank you for your cooperation.

[Steven] It's

practically every day.

[President] Remember Eden

is working for your survival.

Well it's time for my

shift in the dungeon.

Your father's over by

the rationing station.

Hughes lost it earlier.

[Jim] F*** you a**hole.

- This is mine.

- F*** you.

(all shouting at once)

Enough!

I'm not having

punishment details

handed out left, right

and centre.

It's the law Brooks, if they...

Hey sweetheart.

Yeah it's just a

minor disagreement.

Brooks they break the rules

then we don't have a choice.

You think I like

giving out PD's?

It's my job to uphold the

law and maintain order.

Law, you think

this is lawfulness?

Have a look around

you, what do you see?

Do you see humanity or

do you see human beings?

I am not having this
