Oblivion
JACK:
Earth, before the war.New York, before I was born.
A place I've only
seen pictures of.
I know you...
But we've never met.
I'm with you...
But I don't know your name.
I know I'm dreaming. But it
feels like more than that.
It feels like a memory.
How can that be?
March 14th, 2077.
Five years since
And I'm still haunted
by these dreams.
Victoria and I were
assigned together.
In two weeks, our mission here will be
finished, and we'll join the others.
But the questions I ask,
she doesn't.
she won't.
It's been half a century since the
scavengers destroyed our moon.
Forced to leave their own dying
planet, they came to take ours.
Without the moon, the Earth
was thrown into chaos.
Earthquakes toppled
cities within hours.
Tsunamis wiped
out what remained.
Then came the invasion.
We did what we had to do.
We used the nukes.
We won the war,
but lost the planet.
Left it contaminated.
Most of it uninhabitable.
What remained of humanity
had to leave the Earth.
We built the Tet,
our mission control.
before the migration to Titan,
Saturn's largest moon.
Everyone's there now.
Well, almost everyone.
Until our tour is complete,
Vika and I do our job.
which convert Earth's sea water
into fusion energy
for the new colony.
The survival of humanity
depends on it.
Thank you for the coffee.
Remnants of the scavenger army
continue to disrupt the operation.
They attack our drones
at night,
and try to kill me
during the day.
but I don't know why.
Mission says we have done well.
That we are an effective team.
Vika's my
communications officer.
She keeps an eye on me.
Vika can't wait to go.
Me, I'm not so sure.
I can't shake
the feeling that Earth,
in spite of all
that's happened...
Earth is still my home.
Jack Harper, Tech-49.
Morning, Bob.
Tower, comm check.
Drone Maintenance Technician
49, hydro rig support.
All Bubbleship systems
are green.
I'm good to go.
Copy, Tech-49, you're cleared.
Be careful out there.
- Always am.
- No, you're not.
Yeah, you're right.
I gotta work on that.
All right, Tet's coming
online in 30 seconds.
Relaying hydro rig coordinates now.
Confirm visual.
I got 'em. Hydro rigs
are sucking seawater.
You got 'em, Bob?
Drone 185 looks good.
Jack,
we've got two drones down.
Sh*t.
Stand by,
Mission coming online.
And we have Tet contact.
Morning, boss.
Tower 49,
this is Mission Control.
How y'all doing
this lovely morning?
Another day in paradise, Sally.
Uploading data now.
49 mission log.
Day 1642, hydro rig support.
- I have two...
- You have two drones offline.
Perimeter's compromised.
Copy that, relaying to Tech.
Stand by.
Jack, 166 is down in Grid 37.
Linking to beacon now.
You'll go there first.
Got it. On my way.
VICTORIA:
Mission, Tech-49 isen route to Grid 37 now.
Can you plug that hole
with Drone 109?
Negative, 109 is in the dock.
Still waiting for parts.
and get 'em flying.
Those rigs can't be
exposed overnight.
Copy that.
SALLY:
Tower,didn't he fix 166 recently?
Jack has fixed all
the drones recently.
And, if we had the parts
that we've been asking for,
we wouldn't be running
a skeleton crew down here.
Understood.
We're doing the best we can.
- Are you an effective team?
- We are an effective team.
Your directive today
is to rehabilitate 166
and find 172.
Get 'em flying by sundown,
and I'll buy you two a round of
drinks when you get up to the Tet.
You had better be ready, Sally.
Two weeks now,
we're keeping track.
Okay.
Come on, Bob. Work
with me, here, buddy.
Tech-49?
Tech-49?
Jack?
- Copy, Tower.
- What happened? I lost you for a second.
Really?
JACK:
Coming up on location.There it is.
I've got multiple scav kills.
Drone 166 put up
a hell of a fight.
Got any movement?
No sign of scavenger activity.
But I've got limited visibility, here,
Jack, due to low angle of Mission.
Copy that. I'm coming in hot.
Starting repairs.
Watch my back.
I always do.
You know,
I read about this game.
The last Super Bowl.
Please don't tell me.
t was a classic.
A classic game.
Down by four.
The ball
was on the 50-yard line.
Seconds left on the clock.
The ball is snapped,
and the QB fumbles.
Disaster.
Looks like the game is over.
I'm reading the whole
central core off-alignment.
You don't have the necessary
tools down there.
And a new fuel cell is
not going to fix that.
But this QB runs back,
and picks up his own fumble.
Hold on, what did you just do?
There's a wall of linebackers
closing in on him.
So, he throws a long ball with
no idea who is at the other end.
A Hail Mary.
Eighty-thousand people
on their feet,
watching this ball
sail through the air.
Downfield is a rookie wide
receiver, third string.
He just leaps out of the pack.
Touchdown!
Contact! West contact!
VICTORIA:
Jack?It's okay, Vika.
It's just a dog.
Hey.
Now, go on. You gotta
get out of here.
Go on, get!
Get out of here! Go!
Tech-49, Jack Harper.
You're welcome.
166 is back online.
Two drones shot down today. Ten fuel
cells stolen in just over a month.
These scavs are getting bolder.
VICTORIA:
Well, the hydro rigsare taking all the water.
Once we're gone, they'll have
nothing but dust and radiation.
JACK:
This is bullshit.We won the war.
Now we have to leave.
Two more weeks, Jack.
Then we'll be on
our way to Titan.
Yep.
That drone is out
there somewhere.
We just have to find it.
Without a beacon, that's like
finding a needle in a haystack.
So we go to our ground game.
Tower, I've located 172
down a sinkhole.
No visual, but I can hear it.
Tet's so far off angle,
I can barely see you.
How's it look?
It's good, it's good. There's no
sign of scav activity on top.
Tet's offline in 15 minutes.
After that, you're on your own.
VICTORIA:
Mission,this is Tower 49.
Engaged in recovery now.
Requesting backup
to his location ASAP.
I've got a visual on Drone 172.
Jack?
What the hell?
Sh*t.
Ha!
Jack!
Tech-49, Jack Harper.
Jack Harper, Tech-49!
Hey!
Oh, no.
Come on. Not my goddamn bike!
JACK:
"How can a man diebetter Than facing fearful odds."
"For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods."
VICTORIA:
Jack?Yep, I'll be right there.
VICTORIA:
How does 109 look?- Can it fly?
- Barely.
And without armor,
she's a sitting duck.
Well, I'll talk to Sally about
that shielding in the morning.
Okay.
Again.
What, Jack Harper?
Where did you get this?
It was growing in...
Come on, Jack,
you know the regulations.
I know you think I'm a stickler
but you have no idea
what kind of toxins
could be in something
like that.
- It's a flower, Vika.
- Yeah, that's not the point.
