ORBIT 9
Oxygen level at one percent.
The capsule will arrive in 17 hours.
I know.
You're going to meet the first human being
in your lifetime.
The third.
Don't be angry, Helena.
It depends how you count.
I'm not angry.
Your mother and I have
discussed it a thousand times.
We've repeated the calculations
over and over again.
It's the best solution.
The three of us on the ship would
have oxygen for a little over a year.
But if you travel alone,
four or five times longer.
Helena,
I wish I could have hugged
and kissed you one last time,
but I know you.
And I know you wouldn't
have let us do it.
Please, be strong.
Hang on until the engineer arrives.
I know you'll make it.
We love you very much.
Time to get up, Helena.
Day 7,409 of your voyage.
Reserve oxygen activated.
Weekly medical check-up waiting.
Cardiac cycle correct.
The ankle fissure
has almost closed.
Don't push it the next few days.
Coupling initiated.
Maneuver completed.
Opening outer lock.
Robotics engineer 11 beta 57.
Helena.
Nice to meet you, Helena.
I only have 50 hours of autonomy.
It's that way, right?
the oxygen matrix got misconfigured.
It was sudden, not even the Rebecca unit
found an explanation.
Right.
It's rare but it happens sometimes.
Even in bigger ships
than this one.
Can you fix it?
Yes.
I'm the only one left.
Three years ago...
my parents left
so that I could survive.
I'm sorry.
What's it called?
It's called Kubic.
It's a defective connection tracker.
It'll help me work faster.
Let me know if you need anything.
Thanks.
What's your name?
Alex.
Shall we have dinner together, Alex?
No, I can't.
I have too much work.
It's just that... I've never had a guest.
Or eaten with anyone
besides my parents.
You have to have dinner, right?
In half an hour?
They did the navigation calculation
and realized
that traveling alone was the only way
to make it here.
Where someone could
come and help me.
Actually you were lucky, Helena.
Yes, if the failure had occurred
at any other point in the journey,
nobody would have heard
our distress call.
That's right.
You've really never been curious
to see Celeste?
I don't have the strength
you colonists have.
I've never seen anything else.
I came on the ship as a baby
and if everything works out
I'll be over 40 years old
when I get out.
Sometimes I think it makes no sense.
Spending half your life
cooped up trying to get somewhere.
But then I remember that
my parents were colonists.
And that I am too.
And that I have to reach Celeste,
even if it's only for the sacrifice
they made for me.
Time to get up, Helena.
Day 7,410 of your voyage.
Oxygen reserve deactivated.
Hi.
I can breathe better.
I'm almost finished.
It'll be ready tomorrow.
I don't understand a word you say.
Hi, Helena.
I wanted to say I can't
have dinner tonight.
Why not?
I have 2 or 3 more hours
with Rebecca and I need to rest.
Of course.
Good night.
Good night.
Cardiac cycle correct.
Pulse slightly high.
Arterial pressure normal.
What are you doing?
Looking at you.
Why?
Helena...
I'm going to spend
the next 20 years in here.
By myself.
But if you want me to leave,
I will.
You're leaving without saying goodbye?
I didn't want to wake you.
last night.
I'm not.
Opening outer lock.

Base code in hangars 1,
4, 7, 11, 12.
The turbine matrix reached 100
in the scale model.
You know what that means,
right?
That with a little luck we'll see
the first ships take off in 20 or 30 years.
With a little luck and some care
and see it with our own eyes.
I thought you'd be more excited.
I am excited, Hugo.
You don't look it.
What's wrong?
I don't now.
What?
the passengers in the simulators...
All the time.
That's why we have the data
from their biowitnesses.
But those are numbers.
Yes, numbers. The most precise
language that exists.
- But we're talking about something else.
- What?
We've always talked about people.
But not about ten people.
We're talking about 8 billion people.
Alex, I've dedicated
half of my life
to this project.
And although you've only been
with us for 5 years,
I know this is just as important
to you as it is to me.
Pick up the Orbit 10 dossier,
go home and get some rest.
You have only one simulator left.
When you've closed that last door,
you'll see everything differently.
Clean!
The Ministry of the Environment
announces that next week
it will create more artificial storms
in all the northern districts of the city.
They will be nocturnal rains that will
occur every Wednesday next month.
Temperatures tomorrow...
Why don't you take this
to Monica?
I don't think she'll like it.
Come by the 99 one of these nights.
We miss you, man.
The test results came in yesterday.
Come by the clinic anytime
to pick them up.
Why don't you save me the trip?
Your bones are fine, the analytics too.
You have radiation in your body
You shouldn't have entered the simulators,
but you're a lucky bastard.
Why don't you come over
for dinner tonight?
- Monica will be happy to see you.
- I can't tonight, Chao.
Don't worry, I promise
I won't turn on the TV.
Today is the 5th anniversary
with a completely android crew,
a catastrophe that left 207 people dead
and a shadow of doubt
over new industry trends.
We tried to contact Alex Rojas,
since-decommissioned Icarus 3000 pilots,
but we were unable to locate him.
Tonight we have several experts
who will analyze
what might be the keys
to making the new generation
of android crews 100% reliable.
We'll speak to them
after this commercial.
I don't understand a word you say.
You know what?
Alex fixed the problem,
but...
I don't know why, but I'm not.
I wish it would have
taken him longer.
could take off in 15 years,
but the boarding protocol
remains confusing
and must be validated
by participating nations.
Depending on the reproductive
capacity of the individual...
Good morning.
Good morning.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Silvia will be a while, she still has
a couple of customers.
I'll wait for her.
You've lost weight.
Is that a compliment?
It's a warning.
Silvia, how many sessions
have we had?
197 including today.
That many?
Well, that's what this screen says.
Then it's time to be straight
with each other.
I thought we were
from the beginning, Alex.
That's what this therapy is about.
There are passengers
inside the simulators.
I already know that.
No, you don't.
I'm not talking about the scientist
couples we all know.
They put babies inside.
Babies that are adults now.
