Singularity Page #2

See?

That's where I'm going.

What about you?

Me, too.

All right then... if you're

gonna travel with me...

Then you better eat up.

I move quickly and I don't slow

down for anything.

Oh, i-- I won't slow you down.

At least try and get some sleep,

tomorrow is gonna be a long day.

Hey, hey, wake up.

You gotta see this.

Have you seen them before?

Not like this.

They're like a sign... letting

us know that Aurora is real...

And that we're on the right

path.

It's beautiful.

I know.

We've destroyed nearly

all their strongholds.

Not all. Not Aurora.

Are you certain Aurora

is such a threat?

No human we've interrogated...

Even believes it to be more

than a legend.

I miss you.

Hey.

Hey.

We better get going.

Wait.

Andrew? What are you doing?

I was just trying to--

I like trains.

Okay. Too bad they've been gone

for 60 years, huh?

Hey, wait! What did you say?

Come on, what is the matter

with you? Let's go.

Why did we stop?

There's gotta be a bridge

somewhere.

We could probably just cross

here.

I mean, it doesn't look so bad.

No, we can find a way.

What is that?

That's what happens when there's

no one left to bury the bodies.

Calia

nighttime was worst.

Finding somewhere safe

was hard.

The machines didn't sleep.

This is good.

Okay, look for anything we can

use... something to keep warm.

Parents used to drag me

to church every week.

Was it like a law or something?

No. No, you were supposed

to come as a sign of faith.

I mean, you could say

it was god's law...

That you had to show up,

you know?

But I'm not even too sure.

Don't like laws... they tend to

not apply to whoever makes them.

So, you don't believe

in anything?

There's not a lot left

to believe in.

What about the flowers

at the lake?

It's none of your business.

Did you find anything?

Maybe.

Turn it off! Turn that off!

Did you hear that?

If I didn't know any better...

I'd say you want the machines

to find us!

I'm sorry, this is all kind

of new to me.

Well, you better get it

together...

Or you are getting left behind.

It won't happen again. I'll be

more careful from now on, okay?

What if it comes back for us?

It won't.

Safest place is usually where

a carrier just scanned.

That's just how machines work.

You're not from here, are you?

No, no, I'm not.

Well, where are you from?

One of those underground

shelters? The caverns?

Yeah, yeah, something like that.

That actually explains a lot.

Surface life's a little

different, you know?

It's kind of nice to have

someone to talk to for a change.

Calia

I loved the morning...

It meant that you were alive...

And I was.

Were you awake just now?

No, why? What happened?

Nothing. Nothing happened.

Are you ready?

Yeah.

Okay, let's go.

Calia legend says the

man and his brother...

Who created the machines,

sacrificed their lives...

So they could live forever

inside of kronos.

They could no longer feel the

cold of the snow...

Or the warmth of the sun.

They couldn't smell the

wildflowers, or the rain.

Wild berries had no flavor

any more.

This didn't sound much

like living to me.

I love their songs.

They're so peaceful.

It's a good thing that they're

not after the wildlife.

So, they're just after us?

Yeah.

But why?

Haven't you heard the story

of kronos?

Kronos? That thing that should

make the world a better place?

Yeah, that thing. It was

supposed to figure out...

And solve all of the world's

problems.

The only thing they hadn't

thought about...

Was that they were the problem.

Took kronos less than a

heartbeat...

To figure that one out.

Destroy mankind... preserve

the planet.

I thought you put walls

around your villages.

We did.

This one must be really old.

Keep an eye out.

Wait, wait, wait.

Don't you think I should have

a weapon or something?

Gotta make sure we're alone.

All clear.

What do you think happened here?

What do you mean?

Everything here, it looks

so normal.

They probably just left in time.

Before the machines got here.

Yeah.

I haven't seen one of those

in a long time.

You know what the thing is?

Yeah. Here, let me show you.

What did you do?

I took your picture.

That's amazing. Let me try.

So, what?

All right, put your-- and then

you press here, like that.

Okay.

And then you--

and then i--

you press this button right--

I do what? I'm pressing?

Yeah.

I can't believe that this thing

still works.

I remember these from back home.

So-- so, you're the last one

from where you're from?

Yeah.

So, where are you from?

Nexus... it's where I grew up.

It was, um, one of the last

human strongholds.

We'd been getting ready

to leave for once.

My sister, she-- she went

outside by herself...

And got hit by a drone.

There was no way she was gonna

make the journey to Aurora.

But my dad, he said--

he said if we stayed with her,

we were all gonna die.

Then they just left.

I knew she wasn't gonna make it,

but I couldn't just leave her.

And I know I did the right

thing.

I know she needed me there...

Up until her last breaths.

I'm so sorry.

I never talked about this

to anyone, so... thanks.

Did you ever see your dad again?

No.

But he gave me this.

He attached both our amulets

with a GPS tracker.

They send out a signal that only

this device can pick up on. See?

That's the one from my amulet

and this one was my dad's.

This is the last place i

received before it died out.

He always said Aurora was up

around there... somewhere.

Calia. Calia, I just saw

two guys.

Are they people?

Yeah.

Thank god they haven't

noticed us.

Why?

Trust me, you do not want to see

other people.

We're leaving, and not that way.

It's too dangerous.

Maybe they could help us.

I really doubt that.

They're probably also headed to

Aurora. They could help us.

We can't risk it.

You risked it with me.

Calia human survivors

were always trouble.

I wanted to believe there were

still good ones out there...

Like Andrew.

No.

This way! Come on!

Hey! Hey! Come back!

Hold it right there!

Get 'em!

Find 'em!

Over there!

I got him!

She's abandoned him.

She'll return.

How are you so certain?

Watch.

You believe?

Yes, I believe.

Psst. Be quiet, I'm gonna cut

you loose.

Calia, what are you doing?

You have to get out of here.

Quiet, I'm getting you out

of here.

Hey, hey, hey, what have

we got here?

No! No!

Back off!

Well, aren't you going

to help them?

There's no need.

No!

He's stronger than the others.

Evolution has run its course.

Andrew!

Andrew! Andrew!

Andrew, are you okay?

Let me see, let me see,

let me see.

It's okay. I'm fine, I'm fine.

Can you get up?

Yeah, it's okay.

Are you sure you're okay?

I'm okay.

You saved my life.

You saved my life twice.

I wasn't gonna come back

for you.

Why did you?

Andrew?

Andrew?

Calia I'd heard stories

about humanoid machines...

Cold to the touch, incapable

of feeling.

Designed with only one

objective...

To befriend and betray us.
